She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Sumaiqi found a comfortable spot in the tree, trying to make sure her feet were firmly planted. She held a broken branch in her hand and kept her eyes on the wolf lurking below.

The wolf tried to scratch the tree trunk with its front paws in an attempt to climb it, but because the wolf's body structure was not suitable for climbing trees, its attempt quickly failed.

The wolf paced anxiously back and forth under the tree, occasionally looking up at the people in the tree and letting out low growls, showing its impatience and hunger.

They stared intently at the person in the tree, seemingly looking for an opportunity, as if they could leap up and devour them at any moment.

Sumaiqi dared not relax for a moment, and was ready at any time to drive away the wolves that pounced on her.

The will to survive overcame fear. They couldn't even feel the cold anymore.

But the wolf lingering under the tree showed no sign of leaving. Every now and then it would try to jump and cling to the trunk, attempting to climb up.

Su Maiqi felt that she was more likely to be in grave danger; in the sub-zero temperatures outdoors, she knew she wouldn't survive against a wolf.

I didn't even bring my phone when I went out tonight, so I can't call for help. I'm afraid the worst is yet to come.

"What will happen to my sister and Duoduo if I die? I've been so busy with work these past few days that I haven't been able to visit them."

"If I die, will Gu Tingyu be sad? His plans will definitely be affected..."

Her mind was racing with uncontrollable thoughts, and she felt a deep sense of reluctance to leave this world.

She hasn't been to the places she wants to go yet, and she hasn't realized her dream of becoming a designer. How can she let the opportunity slip away when it's right in front of her?

Her 50 million, her new product...

Countless thoughts drifted through Su Maqi's mind, but her eyes remained fixed on the wolf under the tree, her hand gripping the branch tightly.

But suddenly, without warning, the wolf collapsed to the ground.

Su Maiqi relaxed for a moment, but immediately tensed up again. Could wolves also play dead?

Otherwise, how could someone who was full of energy and eager to try suddenly collapse and not get up?

Suddenly, she heard the crunching sound of ice and snow again, and Su Maiqi looked in the direction from which the sound came.

It's Gu Tingyu!

He was wearing a black down jacket and walking briskly this way. He was also carrying something in his hand.

Sumaiqi suspected she was dreaming, experiencing hallucinations before her death.

But the man quickly walked to the tree, checked the wolf lying on the ground, then stood under the tree, stretched out his arms, and said, "It's not breathing anymore, jump down quickly."

Su Maiqi remained frozen in place.

He waved what he was holding: "I brought a silent pistol. It hit a vital spot, and he's already dead. Don't be afraid, I'll catch you."

Su Maiqi pinched herself; it hurt. It wasn't a dream.

Gu Tingyu saved her. She threw away the branch and jumped down towards the man's arm.

The man staggered a couple of times, then picked her up and stood still.

Su Maiqi started trembling, unable to say a word, and clung tightly to Gu Tingyu, refusing to let go.

Gu Tingyu gently patted her back: "It's alright, it's alright, you're safe now."

"It's too cold outside, and we don't know if there are any other wolves. Let's hurry back."

But the woman in his arms seemed to have gone mad, as if she hadn't heard anything, and just held him tightly.

Helpless, Gu Tingyu picked her up and carried her back towards the villa.

The snow was thick, and the woman in my arms was also dressed warmly, so walking was quite difficult for her.

After walking for a while, Gu Tingyu was covered in sweat. Actually, he wasn't wearing many clothes; he had only put on a down jacket when he rushed out the door.

She was wearing a single piece of pure cotton loungewear underneath.

He had just finished his work on the third floor and wanted to relax by the window when he saw Su Maiqi walking towards the forest.

My first reaction was that this woman was crazy, running into the forest in the dead of winter with snow on her hands.

But when I watched her walk into the forest, it felt perfectly natural, as if she had always belonged to this forest.

From afar, I could see her raising her head and reaching out her hand, as if she were catching snowflakes falling from the sky.

He even raised his hand and put his mouth on it. Was he tasting the snowflakes?

This woman is really interesting.

Sometimes he's tough, sometimes he's professional, but sometimes he's like a child.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingyu couldn't help but smile.

He observed everything outside with great interest.

Being able to have such simple happiness is enough to help her get out of depression and sadness. What's wrong with being a little naive?

But suddenly the woman seemed to freeze in place, not moving at all.

Gu Tingyu was still confused when he saw the woman run over quickly and climb up a tree next to her.

He finally spotted a wolf and chased after it.

There are usually no wolves in this forest. Perhaps because the snow has been falling for so long, the wolves on the distant hillsides couldn't find food and wandered around aimlessly, eventually ending up in this forest.

He quickly pulled open the drawer, grabbed his silent pistol, put on a down jacket, and ran out.

This pistol has been specially modified to be very small, so that it can be discreetly slipped into a clothing pocket.

100% silent.

It was illegal, of course, so it cost a lot of money. It was for use in a life-saving situation.

At that moment, he was terrified, terrified that he was too slow and it would be too late.

Thankfully, thankfully, thankfully it wasn't too late.

He couldn't tell whether the sweat on his body was from being frightened or from exhaustion.

He felt a bit dazed, and mechanically walked back while holding the woman in his arms.

When Gu Tingyu rushed out, Zhang Ma woke up and didn't dare to go back to sleep. She sensed that something had happened.

Seeing the footsteps getting closer, Zhang Ma quickly ran out and saw the young master carrying his wife in.

Before I could ask anything, I heard the young master order, "Brew some ginger and jujube tea."

He then carried his wife upstairs.

Aunt Zhang had a lot of questions, but she didn't ask anything and turned to boil water.

Gu Tingyu carried Su Maiqi to the master bedroom on the second floor. Looking at the person in his arms, she still looked lost and dejected.

I helped her take off her down jacket and shoes, and covered her with a blanket.

She said softly, "It's alright now, you're safe."

He wanted to wash up and give her a hot towel to wipe her down, but the woman in front of him held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

Gu Tingyu sighed inwardly and simply sat down on the edge of the bed, letting her hold his hand.

This side of Su Maiqi was unfamiliar to Gu Tingyu.

She was always calm and restrained, remaining composed and utterly serene no matter what happened.

She was really terrified today.

Zhang Ma brought over the ginger and jujube tea, and Gu Tingyu told her to put it down and then leave.

Gu Tingyu handed the tea to Su Maiqi, and her body gradually stopped trembling, but she still held onto his hand tightly.

Gu Tingyu sighed inwardly, took off his clothes, and crawled into bed.
