She was such an ordinary woman, and there was no way he would fall for her .
But his actions spoke otherwise . What was he up to since yesterday?
She couldn’t understand .
Mixiao mulled over it quietly in her head while Su Yan interrupted . “I don’t mean it that way . ”
As though Mixiao couldn’t understand him, he expounded, “I have no reason or need to have a fling with my secretary . ”
His smile was unwavering .
Mixiao was speechless .
‘Is President Su just like what Sister Xuxu described him to be? A real gentleman?’
No, she doesn’t believe it!
Su Yan knew that she was still doubtful of his intentions, and he gave a low chuckle . With a stoic expression, he said, “Let’s go . I assume you still want the prizes . ”
He turned around and strode towards the stage .
Mixiao stared at Su Yan, before glancing at the screen which had flashed the prizes .
She bit her lip and hesitated for several seconds . She gritted her teeth and began walking .
The moment Su Yan and Mixiao stood on stage, the cameras began to snap away relentlessly .
Mixiao felt a little uncomfortable and she averted her face to avoid the cameras .
Everyone including the host, reporters, and guests were shocked to see Su Yan enter the contest .
Although he was the boss of the resort, he still had to rely on his capability to win the contest .
So no one had any objection, and they were merely curious about who Mixiao was .
“The contest is about to begin . Everyone, please get ready . We will start the timing at any moment . ”
The host glanced at the time as he spoke .
With a stopwatch in his hand and several tense moments later, he shouted, “Start!”
Everyone hoisted, lifted, or carried their partners immediately .
Mixiao was still wondering how Su Yan would carry her when she was lifted off her feet in an abrupt manner . He placed his hands under her thighs and behind her back, and then he lifted her up .
But Su Yan didn’t carry her so intimately like the rest of the couples . He stood straight and didn’t look at Mixiao at all .
Mixiao didn’t put her arms around Su Yan’s neck and merely held on to his sturdy-looking shoulders . She eyed his chin quietly .
Most of the other contestants used this method, while some tried different ways .
As time flew by, many contestants started dropping out .
Gradually, only a handful of their rivals remained .
The event was held outdoors and it was almost noon . The sun shone over their heads, and the contestants started to perspire .
Both Su Yan and Mixiao perspired as well—mostly because of the pressure and temperature .
Su Yan’s sweat dripped from his face down to his chin and Mixiao’s forehead .
“President Su, should we give up?” Mixiao surveyed her surroundings as she counted the pairs . There were six more and all the men looked buff and stout .
Su Yan was the skinniest amongst them, and she was worried that they would lose, eventually .
And as they were the few remaining ones left, the spectators were all watching and talking about them in hushed whispers . She had a hunch that they would hit the headlines tomorrow .
Mixiao began to get worried and she wanted to give up . Su Yan displayed no intention of giving up, so she whispered, “President Su, let me down . I don’t want the prizes anymore . ”
“Mixiao, is this how you gave up your dream?” Su Yan bent and studied Mixiao . He looked solemn .
Mixiao heard him and bowed her head .
