Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Call Me Hubby, I’ll Take You Down the Mountain

The sky gradually darkened as the dreamy sunset and evening glow were slowly enveloped by the black night sky.

Song Jinze, holding the woman in his arms, whispered softly, "It’s getting late, I’ll take you down the mountain, and by now you must be hungry."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Okay."

She peeked out from his embrace, looking at the surroundings as they dimmed, and with the cold wind blowing through the mountains, she couldn’t help but shiver. It was so cold.

Song Jinze noticed that Ye Zhenzhen seemed to be cold, so he quickly took a small blanket out of his backpack and draped it over her.

Ye Zhenzhen showed a surprised expression, not expecting the man to be so attentive to even bring this.

Wrapped in the blanket, she felt much warmer. "It’s getting darker and darker. We won’t get lost going down later, will we?"

She asked this question because she remembered a scene from a movie she had filmed in the mountains where she and the male lead got lost, and later they encountered venomous snakes and man-eating wolves...

The key point was that the wolf wasn’t a special effect, but instead the crew had secretly found two dogs that looked very much like wolves to play the part, and the setting had been so realistic that she still remembered it vividly.

Thinking about it, she still felt a bit scared!

After all, the location shooting was indeed in the mountains.

"Are you scared?" he asked her.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded and then shook her head, her gaze resolute, "Scared... of what? There’s nothing to be afraid of!"

She wasn’t afraid of snakes, but she was afraid of those man-eating wolves. What if a pack of man-eating wolves suddenly appeared here? Would all she had just begun to experience disappear?

Hm~ She shook her head slightly, trying to dispel the terrible thought from her mind quickly. After all, those were creatures from the movie; they might not necessarily appear here. Not just might not – they definitely would not.

They definitely would not!

Song Jinze’s lips curled into a slight smile, "Are you really not afraid?"

No sooner had he spoken than they heard rustling sounds coming from the underbrush not far from them. Ye Zhenzhen tightly grasped the blanket around her, her phoenix eyes unblinkingly staring at the source of the noise.

Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be light there...

It is said that wolves’ eyes glow at night.

"Ah!" The more she thought, the more scared she became. Ye Zhenzhen instinctively jumped onto the man in front of her, and he caught her steadily.

Ye Zhenzhen leaned on the man’s shoulder and whispered in an extremely low voice, "Be careful, there seems to be something over there..."

"What is it?" Song Jinze’s lips curved slightly, barely containing his laughter.

Following the woman’s gaze, he saw the direction she had been looking, and with a clear understanding, his handsome face remained calm and composed. However, he didn’t want to explain to her immediately. Instead, he probed further, "Zhenzhen, what do you think is there?"

"Shh~ Song Jinze, keep your voice down, there are wolves over there!" Ye Zhenzhen did not vocalize her words but instead whispered with breathy sounds in the man’s ear.

If wolves were to leap out, would the two of them end up being devoured by wolves or fall off the cliff to their deaths?

Song Jinze: ...

He wanted to laugh, but still held back.

He had thought the woman in his arms would say there were snakes, but he didn’t expect her to mention wolves!

"Since there are wolves, then we should run first," he said very seriously.

Ye Zhenzhen was genuinely worried and said urgently, "We can’t go. They must be in that grove. If we go down the mountain now, won’t we just become their midnight snack?"

Song Jinze nodded, "Hmm, you’re right. I haven’t officially proposed to you yet, and you haven’t agreed either. It would be a pity if we were eaten by wolves now."

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

What time was it, and he still had the leisure to talk about this?

Ye Zhenzhen closed her eyes and hugged the man. "Stop talking, what if you attract the wolves?"

In this wilderness, with the black night and howling wind, it wasn’t just them who were cold and hungry—there were other beasts lurking that didn’t leave a scrap behind when they fed...

Song Jinze couldn’t hold back and teased with a light laugh, "Don’t worry, I actually have another way down the mountain that doesn’t go through there."

"What way?" Ye Zhenzhen looked up, hope suddenly reigniting in her eyes as she gazed at the man’s handsome face and asked softly again, "Really?"

Song Jinze nodded, "Really, call me ’husband,’ and I’ll take you down the mountain."

Ye Zhenzhen frowned slightly, even doubting if the wind had caused her ears to ring and hallucinate. What did this bastard just say?

Before she could utter a word, the bastard spoke again, "What do you say, wife, hmm?"

As he said this, the man’s thin lips gently pecked her rosy lips like a dragonfly skimming water.

Before she could respond, the rustling in the bushes beside them grew louder, followed by a beam of light shining in their direction, and then a familiar voice rang out. Ye Zhenzhen, scared, moved closer into the man’s neck, suppressing her voice as she called out, "Husband, let’s go quickly—quickly—"

Song Jinze’s smile at the corner of his lips completely spread, and he couldn’t suppress it.

"President!"

Following a familiar voice, and chilled by the mountain wind, Ye Zhenzhen’s mind also instantly cleared. She slightly turned her head to look, and there stood Secretary Zhang with several bodyguards.

Their flashlights were all neatly shining at their feet...

After coming to her senses, Ye Zhenzhen understood what the rustling noise and those glowing eyes were all about!

A thin layer of anger swiftly covered her face, feeling the embarrassment of being toyed with by this bastard, and then she forcefully broke free from the man, gnashing her teeth in anger, "Song Jinze!"

If there were special effects, she felt that her forehead should now be emblazoned with a huge "awkward" character!

Song Jinze’s handsome face became even more filled with amusement, leaning in close to her ear he whispered, "Call me ’husband,’ and I’ll carry you down the mountain, okay?"

Damn him, who needs him to carry her? She would get down the same way she got up!

She was also frightened, calling for Secretary Zhang, calling for the bodyguards.

Now with more people around, she wasn’t scared anymore. Even if a man-eating beast came, with many people there, a kick from each would be enough.

Humph!

With that thought, Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at the man beside her and started walking down the mountain path.

Seeing this, the bodyguards immediately followed her lead.

Song Jinze also quickly followed behind, with Secretary Zhang whispering to his boss, "President, why is the madam angry? Was it a bad time for me to show up?"

He had just seen the President holding the madam, and then she got angry. What if the President deducted his bonus because of this?

So, with a restless and uneasy heart, he decided to ask the President first.

Song Jin tapped Secretary Zhang on the shoulder, smiling, "Not at all, you arrived just in time, Secretary Zhang. You did well, keep it up."

Secretary Zhang: ...

He was becoming more and more puzzled by his boss!
