Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1715 - 1704: Mr. and Mrs. Smith

This campfire site's size isn't large, with about seven or eight families gathered here.The number of people is not many, but the atmosphere is very lively.

Children are running happily around the campfire, women are busy grilling meat for dinner, and men are drinking and singing.

Laughter and music fill the air, fully enjoying the fun of the outing.

Seeing Ning Fan and Alice, a good-looking couple, a white old man with a cowboy hat smiled politely, "Of course, welcome, stranger travelers, to join us."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Alice gave a sweet smile, then pulled Ning Fan to sit on the grass.

"Lovely young lady, this is for you."

With that, the old man handed over a plastic dining mat.

Hearing Alice's apology again, the old man smiled, "Are you two a couple? You make a perfect pair."

Alice's face turned red immediately, and she stammered unnaturally, "You misunderstood, we're just friends."

"Friends?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then showed a meaningful smile.

Alice, already embarrassed, felt unnatural under that gaze.

She stole a glance at Ning Fan, only to find him staring right back at her. Alice felt electrified, nervously clutching the hem of her dress, wishing she could bury her head in the ground.

Watching Alice, who resembled a quail, Ning Fan couldn't help but recall the scene on the car earlier.

One moment she's as wild as a western cowgirl, the next as shy as an elf in the moonlight,

The two stunning faces kept intertwining in Ning Fan's eyes.

At this moment, an elderly woman wearing an apron came over, carrying a plate of grilled meat.

Upon first seeing Ning Fan, the old woman's eyes lit up, "What a handsome young man."

"You old lady, I'll get jealous if you say that,"

The old man's comically gray beard bristled as he said with dissatisfaction, "When I was young, I was much more handsome than him."

Feeling that the remark might not be very friendly to Ning Fan, the old man awkwardly laughed, "Of course, you're only a bit less handsome than me; you're quite a dashing young man yourself."

Ning Fan shook his head with a smile, indicating he didn't mind.

Alice, recovering from her embarrassment, smiled gently, "Then grandpa must be an old handsome gentleman."

"Yes, we are all handsome fellas. Haha..." the old man boasted proudly, "Did you hear that, old lady? I haven't lost any charm from back in the day, still beloved by young girls."

"Shameless, aren't you?"

The old woman spat lightly, then smiled kindly, "If you don't mind, you can join us for dinner."

"How could we impose..."

Before Alice could finish speaking, the old man hurriedly said, "Don't be polite. My wife's barbecue is top-notch, better than any Michelin-starred flavor."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Alice didn't continue to be polite,

In American etiquette culture, too much formality is disrespectful to others.

"Young lady, even though I'm old, I'm stronger than those young fellas."

As he spoke, the old man stretched out his arm, dry as a twig, straining to display a muscle the size of a pigeon egg to show his strength.

"You, grandpa, are impressive."

Ning Fan couldn't help but laugh, surprised to meet such an interesting old man.

The woman chided with a laugh, "Don't fool around here. Go back to the car to get some beer."

"Old man, I'll help you."

"I can manage it myself."

Saying that, the old man displayed his pigeon-egg-sized muscle again but didn't refuse Ning Fan's goodwill.

Meanwhile, Alice helped the elderly woman serve.

Under the starry foreign sky, sipping beer, eating barbecue, Ning Fan felt a relaxing sense of ease.

"Life in America is really nice."

His gaze shifted to the other side, where Alice and the woman were doing a post-dinner exercise, dancing joyfully around the campfire.

In the flickering firelight, Alice's radiant smile seemed even more dazzling and charming.

"Young man, have a drink."

After clinking glasses, the old man asked, "Where are you young folks from?"

"Manhattan."

"That's indeed a beautiful city; I visited there when I was young."

…

During their conversation, Ning Fan learned some things about the elderly couple.

This couple, the Smiths from Atlanta, after working hard all their lives, are now enjoying their retired leisure time, planning to drive around the country.

After hearing Ning Fan's purpose for this trip, Mr. Smith exclaimed, "You're also going to Las Vegas! And driving there! Not many energetic young people like you guys are opting for that."

Except for those with plenty of free time, like the retired Smith couple, no one would be bored enough to drive over four thousand kilometers.

Ning Fan awkwardly explained the mix-up that happened.

"So that's how it is."

Smith's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, then he smiled, "Since you're here, enjoy this wonderful journey. Trust me, you'll definitely enjoy the fun of traveling."

"I'm already enjoying it."

Ning Fan smiled, alluding to this very moment.

"Mr. Smith, from what you just said, it seems like you're also heading to Las Vegas."

"Of course, I am favored by Lady Luck; maybe I'll hit the jackpot this time."

Then, Smith suddenly changed the topic, "But alas, we are detouring to New Jersey; otherwise, we could have traveled together."

"That's fine. Maybe we'll meet in Las Vegas, and at that time, I'll host you, sir."

Hearing Ning Fan's invitation, Smith awkwardly laughed, "It's a deal then; I'm very much looking forward to the strip clubs there."

They had already agreed to meet again, but for some reason, neither mentioned exchanging contact information.

As time passed, the once-bright fire dimmed, and many had taken their children to rest.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith, thank you for your warm hospitality today. Sleep well."

"Good night!"

Watching Ning Fan and Alice's departing backs, the Smith couple exchanged a glance, then headed toward the black RV.

On the way back to the hotel, Alice suddenly said, "I absolutely think the Smith couple isn't ordinary people."

Ning Fan nodded, "Oh? I didn't expect you to notice it too. They are indeed not ordinary."

"Mrs. Smith's speech and conduct are very elegant; her background is not simple. That kind of temperament cannot be found in an average housewife..."

After hearing Alice's explanation, Ning Fan couldn't help but laugh as he said, "Is this what you meant by 'not ordinary' people?"

"Yeah? Is there a problem?"

"Of course, there's a problem," Ning Fan smiled and directly gave the answer, "They're either professional assassins or bodyguards. In any case, they have received special training and are definitely not ordinary people with no combat ability."

"Ah!"

Alice covered her mouth in surprise, speaking incredulously, "But how is that possible?"
