This unexpected encounter shocked her heart. It turned out that these two people who seemed to have no intersection in daily life actually had such a close connection in private.

Noticing Ling Mohui's arrival, Zhang Xiyue and Zou Boyuan also showed some surprise in their expressions.

"Sister-in-law, you stayed out alone overnight. Did your cousin know?"

In addition to Zhang Xiyue's concern, there was a subtle hint of temptation in her voice. Her face was slightly frowned with worry, making her look particularly charming.

Faced with this sudden questioning, Ling Mohui did not back down. She looked directly at Zhang Xiyue with sharp eyes and asked tit-for-tat: "So, did you tell Zou Boyuan about your private outing with him in advance?"

Zhang Xiyue's cheeks flushed with shyness. She was obviously caught off guard by this sudden counterattack. She stammered, "I... I just happened to meet Mr. Zou, and... I have already mentioned it to my mother..."

"Xiyue, don't waste your breath on her. Some people behave inappropriately and think that everyone in the world is the same as them."

Zou Boyuan snorted coldly, his words full of disdain, then he pulled Zhang Xiyue up and left with big strides, leaving behind a resolute back.

Seeing this, Yuan Fangfang put her hands on her hips, her face full of indignation: "They are so intimate in broad daylight, and you still have the nerve to criticize others!"

As the night deepens, a cool breeze blows around, bringing a hint of coolness and driving away the stuffiness of the summer night.

After Ling Mohui finished her bath, she pushed open the window and saw the clear, bright full moon hanging high in the sky, as bright as a silver plate, which made her feel relaxed and happy.

The moonlight tonight is so beautiful.

"Ling Mohui, how about we go boating on Yanbo Lake while taking advantage of this beautiful moonlight? The lake must be even more charming under the moonlight!" Yuan Fangfang took Ling Mohui's hand with great anticipation and walked towards the lake impatiently.

There are already many tourists gathered by the lake, and the small boats are swaying gently under the moonlight.

Just as they were about to board one of the boats, Zhang Xiyue had gotten there first and stood on the boat with a slightly apologetic smile on her face: "Sorry, sister-in-law, Master Zou and I have been waiting here for a long time."

Yuan Fangfang sneered disdainfully: "I think she is clearly targeting you on purpose. How shameless!"

Just as Zhang Xiyue was immersed in her small victory, a large, more gorgeously decorated pleasure boat slowly approached the lake, breaking the original tranquility.

"Two ladies, the owner of the manor invites you to come on board for a chat!" A waiter on the pleasure boat respectfully invited.

Zhang Xiyue's originally smug smile suddenly froze, while Ling Mohui and Yuan Fangfang were stunned, wondering in their hearts why the owner of this summer resort suddenly invited them?

As you step onto the pleasure boat, what comes into view is a mysterious man in gorgeous clothes and a silver mask on his face, and his companion who is leisurely fiddling with an exquisite jade bottle.

The silver mask reflects the soft moonlight, revealing an indescribable sense of mystery.

Ling Mohui couldn't help but think of the thief she met in Hongfu Temple. Although the figure of the person in front of her didn't match her memory, she couldn't help but associate it with him. Then she comforted herself that maybe it was just a coincidence.

Without any further suspicion, Ling Mo responded politely: "Sir, thank you for your invitation!"

The man who was playing with the jade bottle looked up when he heard this. His eyes flashed with a warm and deep light, and he smiled with a bit of interest: "So it's the second young lady of the Ling family. I have heard of her for a long time. It is an honor to meet her today."

After three years of marriage, the title of "Second Miss of the Ling Family" seemed a little strange to her. Ling Mohui couldn't help but look at her in surprise, with doubts in her heart: "How do you know my identity?"

The man laughed out loud, a gentle curve appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he saluted with his hands, his manners showing his nobility: "I am the owner of the Summer Resort, Han Zifeng. It is a great honor to meet you here."

Then, he pointed to another young man beside him and introduced him, "This is my close friend, and also the famous leader of Lingji Pavilion, Master Xu. He is extremely intelligent and resourceful, and is truly a rare talent in the world."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Fangfang's eyes flickered with surprise: "Lingji Pavilion? Master Xu? Are you the Master Xu who is said to have planned and established Lingji Pavilion?"

It was difficult to conceal the excitement and admiration in his words.

After listening to Ling Mohui, she turned to look at Yuan Fangfang, with a bit of curiosity in her eyes: "Fangfang, do you know Master Xu? This is really a pleasant surprise."

Yuan Fangfang smiled frankly and told the story without hiding anything: "Two years ago, I was greedy for fun and accidentally fell into a gambling house. All my money was gone and I almost lost even the money to go home. Fortunately, Master Xu happened to pass by at that time. With his keen insight, he discovered the trick in the gambling game and exposed it in one fell swoop, saving me from the dire situation. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have been wandering the streets long ago."

After she finished speaking, her expression showed both gratitude and a bit of self-mockery, revealing her gambler nature.

After listening to this, Ling Mo rubbed her forehead helplessly. She found Yuan Fangfang's unreserved personality in front of strangers both funny and vexing.

But when he thought of the great reputation of Lingji Pavilion in the capital, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"The hidden weapons of Lingji Pavilion are extremely exquisite, and no one in the capital can match them. The golden silk soft armor with extraordinary defensive power on my brother was made by you, Pavilion Master. It is really amazing."

Ling Mohui smiled, her words full of respect.

Upon hearing this, Master Xu simply nodded slightly in response, with an indifferent expression, as if he was not used to too many small talk.

Seeing this, Ling Mohui tactfully suggested leaving: "It's a shame to board the boat. Fangfang and I want to go to the bow to enjoy the scenery. We won't take up your precious time any more."

After saying that, she bowed politely, took Yuan Fangfang and walked towards the bow of the boat.

Although he had doubts about Han Zifeng's invitation, it was undoubtedly a wise choice to keep a certain distance in the unknown situation.

Especially for Han Zifeng, his elusive mystery made her particularly wary.

"Fangfang, do you have any relationship with Manor Master Han?" Ling Mohui asked in a low voice, with doubts still in her heart.

Yuan Fangfang shook her head and denied it. "I only come to the Mountain Resort occasionally and have never really interacted with Manor Master Han. I didn't expect that he is not only young, but also so handsome. He is no less handsome than the well-known Fu Yansheng."

Ling Mohui heard this and curled her lips slightly: "Fangfang, it's already this time, why are you still thinking about this? Don't you think there are many strange things about the two of them?"

"Strange? Why didn't I notice it?" Yuan Fangfang looked confused, obviously not noticing anything unusual.

"We have never met before, and we have no grudges against each other, but they invited us on board for no reason. Isn't there something suspicious about this?"

Ling Mohui's alertness grew stronger and she felt uneasy about this sudden enthusiasm.
