Although Mu Ling was rejecting him, Ye Fei detected a subtle hint of jealousy in her tone and couldn't help but smile, "Auntie, are you feeling a bit jealous?"
"Of course not," Mu Ling naturally wouldn't admit it, but she couldn't deceive herself. When she saw Gu Xuehan looking at Ye Fei with affection, she did feel a bit uncomfortable, as if soone were trying to take away sothing she cherished.
"You can rest easy on that," Ye Fei continued without paying attention to Mu Ling's denial. "Although they might be more suitable for in terms of age, I prefer mature and sexy won like you, Auntie. Give a chance to take care of you for the rest of your life, will you?"
Looking into Ye Fei's earnest eyes, Mu Ling felt a wave of intoxication and almost gave in. It took a great deal of willpower for her to regain her composure.
To prevent Ye Fei from continuing, she put on a stern face and said, "Ye Fei, you promised not to pressure . Are you trying to drive Auntie away?"
Ye Fei knew it was ti to stop for today, so he released her hand and said, "Alright, but you have to give ti to prove myself. You can't leave without telling ."
"Okay, I promise," Mu Ling replied with a sense of helplessness, but inwardly she was delighted. She wouldn't want to leave now, even if asked, because here, in addition to her daughter, she had developed a deep attachnt to soone else.
Understanding that with Mu Ling's gentle and traditionally-minded nature, he could only gradually break through her defenses, Ye Fei said, "Auntie, since we have nothing to do now, why don't you tell about your past with my aunt?"
"Sure," Mu Ling agreed happily. She enjoyed spending ti with Ye Fei but was wary of him pushing too hard.
Casual conversations like this were her favorite, so she began to narrate, "Your aunt and I t in college. Back then, college life wasn't as relaxed as it is now. Everyone was focused on studying..."
As if talking to herself, Mu Ling recounted how she had t Ye Ningsuan in college and beca good friends. She then unconsciously spoke about her current husband, how the young her had been attracted to his mature deanor when he ca to do business here, and how she had married him impulsively before graduation.
But after marriage, she realized that life wasn't as wonderful as she had imagined, especially in recent years. Perhaps imrsed in her mories, Mu Ling even confided in Ye Fei about her troubles, and without realizing it, she leaned into his embrace.
After listening to Mu Ling's story, Ye Fei felt a surge of compassion for this gentle and sexy beauty, in addition to his desire and greed. He whispered into her ear with deep affection and determination, "Auntie, forget about the past. With here, you will never suffer any grievance again. I will give you the greatest happiness."
"Mm," Mu Ling, lost in Ye Fei's tenderness, responded softly, her heart overflowing with tenderness as well. She no longer wanted or had the strength to refuse Ye Fei. Instead, she slightly tilted her pretty face upward, looking at Ye Fei with soft eyes.
Naturally, Ye Fei wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He slowly lowered his head, and Mu Ling gently closed her eyes. At that mont, nothing else existed in their minds.
"Mom, Ye Fei, what are you guys doing?" Just as their lips were about to et, a clear voice suddenly interrupted, shattering the tenderness between them.
"Huh?" Hearing her daughter's voice, Mu Ling was startled and quickly pushed Ye Fei away, standing up in a panic, unsure of what to say.
Ye Fei was also annoyed. Why did soone or sothing always interrupt when he was closest to success? He also silently blad himself for being too careless at such monts. He realized he needed to be more vigilant in the future.
Despite the many thoughts racing through his mind, Ye Fei maintained a calm deanor on the surface and smiled slightly, "Nothing, Aunt Mu seed to have sothing in her eye, so I was just checking it out."
"Ah? Is that so?" Xu Weier was alard and quickly pulled Mu Ling over, looking into her eyes.
Seeing her mother's beautiful eyes glistening with tears, she thought it was because of so foreign object and anxiously asked, "Mom, are you okay?"
"No, it's nothing. The wind was strong, and so sand got in. He already helped get it out," Mu Ling quickly explained, following Ye Fei's lead.
Xu Weier had been the first to run over, so no one had really seen what had happened.
If Mu Ling hadn't explained, it probably wouldn't have drawn any attention. But with no wind at all, her ntion of sand was quite revealing.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other with a knowing glance.
Zhao Zhi found the situation quite amusing. Everyone probably knew that Xu Weier had a crush on Ye Fei, but it seed that Ye Fei had his eyes set on her mother.
Among the people present, only Xu Weier herself seed oblivious to this fact.
Zhao Zhi even doubted whether this sowhat clueless girl even understood her own feelings.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable under everyone's sowhat suggestive gazes, Mu Ling quickly asked, "Have you finished filming?"
"Not yet, just taking a break," Xu Weier replied after examining her mother's bright eyes for a long ti and seeing nothing amiss.
She then shifted her attention to the snacks on the ground and exclaid, "Wow! So much delicious food. Thank you, Mom. Everyone, co and eat. Don't be shy!" She sat down on the blanket, tore open a bag of chips, and began to enjoy them.
Everyone looked at Xu Weier, who was completely unaware of what had just happened, with a hint of amusent.
However, no one said much because Ye Fei was the boss, and Mu Ling wasn't an employee of the company.
Besides, age-gap relationships weren't that rare these days. No one wanted to gossip about it, especially since even Ye Ningsuan had just smiled faintly when she saw what happened. What could they do?
There were over fifty people on this filming trip, and they naturally couldn't all crowd into the small area Mu Ling had prepared. They quickly dispersed, forming small groups of three or five, sitting together and chatting while taking out snacks and drinks from their backpacks.
With Ye Fei tripling their salaries and offering extrely generous travel allowances, these employees no longer cared much about the small amount of money.
Working while traveling made them feel that staying with the company was the best decision they had ever made.
As everyone was happily taking their break, Ye Fei noticed a sowhat lonely figure outside the crowd. It was Gu Xuehan, who was sitting under a nearby tree with her back to them, hugging her legs and resting her chin on her knees, lost in thought.
Although he couldn't see her face, Ye Fei sensed a hint of loneliness emanating from her.

He slowly walked over and sat down beside her, asking, "What's wrong? Not happy?"
Seeing it was Ye Fei, Gu Xuehan's stunningly pretty face lit up with a smile, and she shook her head, "No, I'm just a bit tired from having so many scenes earlier."
Although she said that, the hint of disappointnt in her eyes didn't escape Ye Fei's notice.
At this mont, it was clear to anyone, let alone Ye Fei, why she was feeling down. He couldn't help but be moved by the girl's quiet and deep affection.
