Chapter 458: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 458: Reaching a Cooperation and Stirring Up Trouble (1)
Sunlight poured through the windowsills, casting a quiet stillness over the room, punctuated only by the occasional rustling of pages flipping.
Even for someone who could read swiftly, going through 120 pages of documents took considerable time. Yan Junyu had shifted from casual browsing at the start to intense concentration later on, spending even more time than anticipated.
Watching him peruse her carefully prepared proposal, Mo Yan, though confident, couldn't relax until she received his definitive response.
An hour later, Yan Junyu finished reading the last word. His captivating peach blossom eyes fixed directly on the woman opposite, revealing a hint of admiration mixed with deep curiosity.
He had initially thought it would be a trivial matter, but this young girl had surprised and impressed him greatly. What was even more remarkable was her ability to judge the situation accurately, knowing she lacked the capability to handle this "piece of meat" on her own. She had generously sought out capable allies without any regrets, a boldness rarely seen, especially considering she was still an unmarried girl.
He wondered, this girl was just an ordinary farm girl. Even with the education she received from her scholar father, her exposure couldn't possibly match those noble ladies from influential families. Was it truly her innate intelligence that allowed her to be so? But worldly insight wasn't something innate!
Under the probing gaze, Mo Yan's heart raced. She couldn't help but retort, staring back bluntly, "Young Master Yan, regarding my previous proposal... what are your thoughts?"
Yan Junyu cast an amused glance at her, feeling mischievous. Propping his head on his right hand, he pretended to ponder deeply. With Mo Yan eagerly awaiting his response, he leisurely replied, "What you've written looks good, but this thing called 'wine' you propose—can you guarantee that many people will like it? If I invest a large sum to build a winery and the wine doesn't sell, you might not lose a penny, but my losses would be substantial! This business venture isn't worth my risk."
Mo Yan didn't argue but instead opened a small jar of grape wine she had placed on the table beforehand and poured it into a jade-green wine glass. Instantly, a sweet and long-lasting fragrance of wine filled the entire room.
As the grape wine gushed out of the jar, Yan Junyu was captivated by its enchanting color. Against the backdrop of the jade-green glass, its mystery and allure were amplified. Suddenly, a sense of reluctance surged within him; he hesitated to consume this marvelously beautiful glass of wine.
"Young Master Yan, this jar of grape wine was brewed by my own hands. It wouldn't hurt to taste and evaluate it before making a decision," Mo Yan said, noticing the unusual expression on his face and feeling immensely satisfied.
This jar of grape wine was from the first batch she brewed in her space. In real-time, only six or seven months had passed, but in her space, it had been aged for eighty to ninety years, far surpassing the jar consumed during the New Year.
Yan Junyu, whose attention had been captured by the wine, regained his composure. He glanced deeply at Mo Yan and then lifted the wine glass, sipping it gently, closing his eyes to savor the taste.
As the young master of the Wu'an Manor, beloved by the two major figures in the palace, he had tasted almost every delicacy and fine wine in the world. Yet today, he discovered that the so-called finest wines he had tasted were nothing compared to this glass of grape wine in terms of color, taste, or flavor.
The glass of wine quickly emptied. Yan Junyu's jade-like handsome face flushed slightly, and his bewitching peach blossom eyes shimmered with watery brilliance, hooking others' attention effortlessly.
