Chapter 49: The Garden and the Secret

  Ling Feng's eyes flashed with a cold light, but his face still wore a playful smile as he looked at Ye Yun, "Who didn't have a time of youthful ignorance?"

  Ye Yun also smiled back at him, but it was fake, "Is Lord Ling trying to clear himself?"

  "The wife would blame the husband for not knowing people clearly, and the husband could only admit it. After getting to know the wife, the husband found that except for the wife, no other woman could enter his eyes, even if it was many years ago."

  Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, "A woman who is unpleasing to the eye, and you still want to marry her?"

  "At first, a momentary impulsive thought doesn't count. As a husband, my whole heart and soul only belongs to one person, my wife." Ling Feng's face was filled with a warm smile like the spring breeze.

  Looking at his smiling face, Ye Yun couldn't bear to be harsh on him.

  "Don't call me wife one by one! I'm not your wife yet!"

  "Alright, if you don't like listening, from now on I'll call you Niangzi Yuner. Are you satisfied?" Ling Feng still smiled slyly.

  Ye Yun felt that the punch she had mustered up all her strength to throw at him had turned into a soft and fluffy thing when it landed on his body, and instantly felt powerless.

  "Waved his hand lazily and said, 'You can call me whatever you want.'"

  They soon arrived at the flower shop, which was a very elegant store. Although it wasn't big, the small storefront was decorated nicely.

  "Qi's Flower Shop?" Ye Yun looked up at Ling Feng, "Isn't it said to be the property of Ling Mu Mountain Villa? Why is someone else's surname hung on it?"

  "This storefront was bought by me and rented to the Qi family father and daughter to open a flower shop. Alright, go in and take a look if there's anything you want?" Ling Feng didn't want to say more, and gave Ye Yun's waist a light push.

  Since he didn't want to say more, Ye Yun also didn't want to ask more.

  Pushing open the door and walking into the flower shop, all around were pots of flowers. Ye Yun didn't recognize many kinds, so she just took a casual look.

  The room is somewhat dimly lit and the lighting isn't very good.

  Ye Yun glanced around casually and didn't want to stay any longer.

  A flower shop should be a place with plenty of sunshine, shouldn't it?

  A girl came out of the inner room, looking like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

  Seeing Ling Feng, her small eyes lit up and she hurriedly welcomed him.

  "Master Lingzhuang, how did you come?"

  Ling Feng nodded slightly. To people other than Ye Yun, he always maintained his "strangers keep out" icy demeanor.

  Even so, the girl's adoration in her eyes did not decrease by half.

  Yan Cheng, who followed in together, said: "Feng Er, is your father here?"

  "Feng'er nodded and turned back to shout, 'Dad! Master Ling Zhuang has arrived!'"

  After shouting, she turned her head and continued to gaze at Ling Feng with adoring eyes, as if she couldn't get enough of looking at him.

  Before long, the curtain was lifted and a middle-aged man hurried out, his muddy hands wiping on his apron, seeing Ling Feng reveal a flattering smile: "Ling Zhuangzhu, what instructions do you have for me today?"

  "Mr. Qi, it's our madam who wants to come," said Yan Cheng.

  "Madam?" Qi Kui had just come out and noticed Ye Yun standing beside Ling Feng, her pale purple dress complementing her fair skin, her bright eyes shining with a dazzling light. Even standing next to the powerful Ling Feng, she was not overshadowed by his aura, naturally exuding an air of confidence that was hard to ignore.

  Ye Yun nodded, "I'd like to buy some roses, preferably unopened buds."

  "Wild rose?" Qi Kui slightly furrowed his brow.

  "What? Not even one?" Ye Yun thought rose was the most common variety.

  "Roses are available, but most of them have already bloomed. We need to bring the buds...". Qi Kui turned around and looked, "Seems like there aren't any."

  "Oh dear," said Ye Yun with some disappointment, "where can I buy roses with buds?"

  "This," Qi Kui chuckled sincerely and glanced at Ling Feng, "Ling Manor's master should know."

  "Oh?" Ye Yun raised her head and looked at Ling Feng.

  He just gave her a faint glance, as if blaming her for not saying what she wanted earlier.

  As soon as they got on the horse carriage, Ling Feng asked: "What do you want to do with Hua Yang?"

  Yeyun smiled mischievously, "It's a secret. I'll tell you after I've successfully experimented with it."

  "So mysterious? Tell me and maybe I can help you." Ling Feng proposed a condition for revealing secrets.

  "No need. I want to try it myself. It's okay if it doesn't work out. By the way, where can I buy roses with buds?"

  Ling Feng smiled slightly and also started teasing, "It's a secret! You'll know when we get there."

  Ye Yun pouted and said, "It's definitely some garden or something in your mountain villa again, right?"

  It's obvious even if you think about it with your toes.

  Ling Feng's face fell as he said, "Yuner, sometimes it's more charming to pretend to be silly."

  Ye Yun smiled and said, "So, Lord Ling, must I repeat those words again?"

  Ling Feng suddenly stretched out his arm and hooked around Ye Yun's neck, Ye Yun was caught off guard and was pulled into his arms.

  Ling Feng took advantage of the opportunity to kiss Ye Yun's lips fiercely, with a sly smile, "Yun'er rest assured, this life, I am determined to be your husband."

  Ye Yun's cheeks were flushed red, no need to suspect, this was not shyness, but her entire demeanor.

  "You!"

  Ling Feng burst out laughing and pulled Ye Yun into a tighter hug.

  Upon arrival at the destination, Ye Yun got off the car and found that this place was a bit similar to the orchard she had visited before.

  The same wooden vertical frame gate, the same dense wooden fence, but what's different is that as far as the eye can see, it looks like a huge garden, with all sorts of colors and shapes, competing for attention, extremely eye-catching.

  What kind of flower exhibition is this?

  Ye Yun's eyes widened in shock, "You planted such a large field of various flowers, it shouldn't be just for appreciation, right?"

  "Of course it's not just for viewing, the flowers here are for sale." Ling Feng took Ye Yun's hand and walked in.

  "Who's selling? Selling to whom?"

  Ling Feng turned back and said, "Ayun is so clever, can't you think of a few?"

  It's time to test her intelligence! Ye Yun was sulky, "Are you trying to test me?"

  Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Yuner is overthinking. I just want to hear your opinion. If you were given a garden like this, what would you do with it?"

  "Isn't the Flower-Filled Building just a big client? The begonias there must have come from here, right?" As she walked into the huge garden, Ye Yun felt as if she had entered a sea of flowers, with her entire being surrounded by flowers and their fragrance.

  "Yuner guessed it right. The flowers in Huamanlou indeed originated from here, and what's more?"

  "Others? That can only be ordinary Huafu, such as Qi Kui."

  "En." Ling Feng continued nodding.

  "The merchants of rouge and powder should also come, right? I remember that at this time, rouge and powder were basically extracted from flowers."

  "En." Ling Feng nodded, "Yun'er is right."

  Ye Yun glanced at Ling Feng's calm expression and said: "So, you want to expand your business? Develop your flower industry even bigger?"
