With a clear "wow~" cry, Sheng Mumu felt herself flying out.

The cold wind whipped past her face with a roar, and the sudden acceleration made her heart beat faster as the thrill soared.

She couldn't help grinning like a child.

She never let herself bottle things up, whenever she played any thrilling rides, she would scream out loud if she wanted.

She found the fun doubled when she did.

"Wuhu~"

"Hahahaha-"

"Ah-"

Hearing the clear voice occasionally coming from the left slide, Qi Mo's mouth corners slightly lifted, smiling imperceptibly.

He was infected by her cheerful mood, eyes curving.

The three played at the Ice and Snow World until the sun went down.

To be precise, the two Qi's accompanied the eager to play Sheng Mumu until the sun went down.

Sheng Mumu used blackmail of spoiling the plot to force Qi Shaobai to cooperate and take a set of Elsa pose photos for her.

She took a handful of snow and waved her arm to scatter it.

Muttering under her breath: "let it go"

Qi Shaobai pressed the brim of his cold hat low, knowing no acquaintances would see this embarrassing scene, hurriedly pressed the shutter.

Nearby, a tall and handsome man stood in the snow, eyes flickering as he watched the two.

His chest vibrated slightly, emitting a low laugh.

Suddenly, his coat pocket vibrated with an incoming call.

Qi Mo answered his work phone: "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Qu Hui's voice was sweet: "President Qi, it's me, Qu Hui."

Qi Mo's brows furrowed slightly, surprised how she got his number. His tone was slightly displeased: "What's the matter?"

"President Qi, I've booked a table tonight at Yuelai Restaurant to welcome you."

Qu Hui's hand clutching the phone tightened, stopping the nervousness in her heart.

"Years ago when my father brought me to a banquet, he kept praising what a talented man you are, and told me that if there was a chance Duangxin Group must cooperate with Qishi Group."

"When I heard Qishi Group was coming to Shen city to build a resort, I was so happy I couldn't stand it. Now I'm fully in charge of Duangxin Group, I wonder if I could have the chance to have a meal with President Qi and discuss possible future cooperation between Duangxin and Qishi."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to talk business, Yuelai Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Shen city. I sincerely invite you to come and taste our local flavors."

After saying this long speech, Qu Hui laughed and slowed down: "Also to let me fulfill my host's duties."

"I'm sorry Miss Qu, I'm busy."

Qi Mo maintained his business etiquette, suppressing his displeasure, and only spoke to reject after Qu Hui had finished.

Without waiting for her response, he directly hung up and put his phone back in his coat pocket.

Beside him, Qi Shaobai was handing his phone to Sheng Mumu to let her check the photos.

After Sheng Mumu gave a thumbs up, Qi Shaobai let out a relieved sigh, shoulders sinking.
