Both were located on the outskirts of Beijing—leaving the sanatorium to get to the Fragrant Hills wasn't very far.
The most famous sight in the Fragrant Hills is the red maple leaves that cover the mountains in deep autumn, and that's when the most people come to hike and enjoy the view. By this time of year, the red maple leaves were still around, but they were much sparser, and there were far fewer hikers.
Shen Xian didn't know why Gu Chen had chosen to come to the Fragrant Hills now. The weather was foggy and heavy, and the good views were already fading—not exactly a great day for hiking.
But when the boss gave an order, she, as a junior assistant, naturally had no choice but to comply.
Following the winding mountain road, Shen Xian drove all the way up to the parking platform halfway up the hill. From here, they would have to proceed on foot…
"Mr. Gu, shall we walk from here?" Shen Xian asked, turning to Gu Chen after parking the car.
