Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Su Chen then spoke to Xiaoxun, instructing her to play nicely in the village the next day, not to wander too far, and to have her meals at the village chief's house.

Although the little girl was somewhat disappointed, she obediently agreed.

Su Chen wasn't unwilling to take the little girl with him, but the mountain was simply too cold, and he worried that such a small child wouldn't be able to withstand it.

The next morning, Lin Ruoxue put on an extra sweater and switched to a plumper, heavier down jacket. In doing so, her perfect figure was completely concealed.

Su Chen also put on the village chief's leather coat. Though he had True Yuan to resist the severe cold, it wasn't meant to be used that way, and there was no need for him to purposefully suffer.

When Lin Ruoxue saw Su Chen wearing the village chief's leather coat, she couldn't help but bend over laughing. It was a completely different style from his usual appearance, and when he put on the village chief's hat, she bent over even more with laughter, because it looked quite comical to her.

"What's so funny?"

Su Chen grumbled.

"It really is funny!"

Lin Ruoxue playfully blinked her eyes, looking nothing like the cold CEO and more like a lively girl next door.

"Alright, let's set off."

Lin Ruoxue patted Su Chen's shoulder and laughed as she crawled out of the felt tent, and Su Chen followed behind, feeling quite displeased.

To climb Tianshan, the vicinity of Baixing Gully was definitely not suitable. Although it was also at the foot of Tianshan, the mountains here were too short, and there wasn't much snow.

The actual suitable location for climbing Tianshan was about a hundred or two hundred kilometers west of Baixing Gully.

Because the journey was far, they first had to return to where the car was parked to fetch it and then drive to their destination.

Passing by the small mountain, Su Chen still carried Lin Ruoxue over it as he had previously done. Only this time, Lin Ruoxue was wearing enough clothes and thick trousers, so there was less of a tactile feeling, which Su Chen found a bit regrettable.

The distance of a hundred or two hundred kilometers wasn't too far. It took Su Chen just over an hour to drive there, and then after walking for a stretch, they reached the foot of the mountain.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Lin Ruoxue took out two pairs of protective goggles from the backpack behind her and handed one pair to Su Chen. They both put them on.

In truth, Su Chen didn't need protective goggles, but wearing them was also harmless and saved Lin Ruoxue from worrying.

Ordinary people climbing a snowy mountain, especially one with a high altitude, must wear protective goggles.

First, the high altitude brings strong cold winds, and wearing goggles prevents the eyes from being irritated by the cold wind. Second, the low temperature makes it necessary to wear goggles to avoid cold air from freezing the eyes. Third, the intense reflection from the white snow can harm the eyes or even cause snow blindness.

The last point is that the high-altitude UV radiation is strong, and wearing goggles prevents the eyes from UV damage.

Once they were ready, the two began to climb up the mountain step by step.

The place they chose was secluded and steep, surrounded only by a vast expanse of white, with hardly any human figures in sight.

Especially now in the winter, the snow was even thicker, and each step they took felt soft and produced a "squeaky" sound.

In fact, Lin Ruoxue had chosen this place. She had a spirit of adventure and challenge deep in her bones, always wanting to take on more difficult tasks to conquer. This applied to running a business, climbing mountains, and even everything else she did.

Su Chen didn't raise any objections. Even if they encountered any problems, with him being there, he figured there shouldn't be any issue.

Being in a secluded area naturally had its advantages, at least there were sceneries unseen by others. The problem, however, was the steepness. After having walked for a while, Lin Ruoxue started to breathe heavily.

"Wife, let me carry you."

Su Chen looked back at her struggling figure and said.

"No need, I can manage on my own!"

Lin Ruoxue gave Su Chen a stubborn look and continued to walk forward step by step. They had come to climb the mountain, after all, being carried was not an option!

Seeing her like this, Su Chen snapped a branch off a tree, pulled out his dagger to shave it, removed the prickly parts, and handed it to Lin Ruoxue:

"Wife, use this for support, it might save some energy."

"Thank you."

This time, Lin Ruoxue did not refuse. She took it and used it as a cane.

With this, things got a little easier, and the two of them continued their climb.

Noticing that Lin Ruoxue was having trouble keeping up, Su Chen no longer walked ahead. Instead, he followed right behind her.

In case she accidentally slipped, he could catch her.

Lin Ruoxue more or less guessed Su Chen's thoughts and felt a touch of sweetness in her heart. Her husband was quite considerate!

The altitude of Tianshan is quite high, with an average elevation of 5000 meters. The peak they were scaling was even higher, surpassing 6000 meters and approaching an elevation of 7000 meters.

Though Lin Ruoxue was already wearing plenty of clothing, two-thirds of the way up, she still felt very cold. A fine layer of ice frost formed on her exposed face, making her pretty features turn a bit red from the freezing temperature.

The howling cold wind hit her face like a knife, causing an obvious feeling of pain.

As an ordinary woman who wasn't used to exercising regularly, physical strength was naturally not Lin Ruoxue's forte. The thin air at high altitudes added to her breathing difficulties.

But even so, she still did not ask Su Chen for help and continued to climb upward, gritting her teeth.

Su Chen, once again, realized the strength and competitiveness of his wife.

However strong she might be, there was still a limit to her physical capabilities, so by the end, her pace had slowed down completely, needing to rest every few steps.

Fortunately, they were just out for fun and not in a hurry, so it was tolerable.

"Husband, aren't you tired?"

Lin Ruoxue looked at Su Chen curiously as he seemed to be handling it with ease. His complexion was barely different from usual, at most just a little bit redder.

"I'm fine," Su Chen said with a smile. Climbing this mountain was merely a warm-up for him, "Wife, if you really can't keep going, just tell me."

"No need, I can manage on my own."

Lin Ruoxue looked determinedly at the mountain peak and said, they weren't too far from the top now, and she was not going to give up!

After saying this, she continued to use the cane to climb upward, with Su Chen closely following behind.

Although they weren't too far away, only the last thousand meters remained, this was the most difficult thousand meters!

Lin Ruoxue felt like every step was so difficult, as if her legs were filled with lead, unbearably heavy.

Her body also felt waves of cold, as if the little warmth inside was being sucked away by the cold air, and she kept gasping for air!

"Just hang in there a little longer, just a little longer!"

Lin Ruoxue told herself.

And so, after some indeterminate amount of time, they finally reached the summit. Lin Ruoxue lay straight down on the peak, her chest heaving uncontrollably even through her down jacket, which could still be felt.

This showed that Lin Ruoxue was indeed exhaustingly tired!

"Stand for a bit, don't lie down."

Su Chen pulled Lin Ruoxue up from the snow. The last thing you want to do after strenuous exercise is to lie down…
