Chapter 507 - 505 Meeting by Invitation
Hearing Jiang Yifan inquire about the last life, Ye Xinyan’s eyes filled with wariness. "What for?"
As if he hadn’t seen Ye Xinyan’s expression, Jiang Yifan continued, "If Ah Yan has seen it before, it’s good. As long as it once existed, it can definitely be made." Jiang Yifan didn’t even pause before he added, "From here, heading southwest, there’s a slope with a vast Peach Blossom Forest. The blossoms have been perfect these past couple of days. Shall I take you to see them tomorrow?"
Ye Xinyan was momentarily unable to react. Wasn’t that change in topic too abrupt? Could conversation actually flow like this? Jiang Yifan had just been talking about utensils and then jumped straight to viewing peach blossoms. How could these two topics be related at all?
Ye Xinyan’s eyes shifted. To have such a vast Peach Blossom Forest here, could it be? She indeed had seen a few fruit trees sporadically, but never the kind of scene filled with blooming flowers. Keep in mind, this was ancient times, transportation was extremely inconvenient, and purchasing power was low. From any point of view, planting large tracts of fruit trees wasn’t cost-effective.
"No," Ye Xinyan came back to her senses and shot Jiang Yifan a cold look, "I’m very busy, I can’t even get through all the important work, let alone have the leisure to watch flowers and leaves. Isn’t Lord Jiang in a hurry to deliver a message to Sixth Master? Priorities matter more." So, you should leave sooner.
Yet Jiang Yifan didn’t move towards the exit following Ye Xinyan’s gesture. Instead, he stood his ground, "It’s precisely because we are extremely busy that we need to relax a bit. Perhaps walking outside and looking at the scenery will help clarify our thoughts."
Ye Xinyan stared at Jiang Yifan for a moment and then firmly shook her head, "I won’t go, and even if I went, with so many people here, there’s no need to accompany Lord Jiang. Please go back."
Although Ye Xinyan’s impolite words pushed him back, Jiang Yifan wasn’t annoyed, but smiled and said, "There are indeed many people here, but nobody knows the place. Moreover, the journey is long and if we don’t ride quickly, it will take a long time to go there and back." He had noticed the flicker of melancholy and longing in Ah Yan’s eyes just now. No girl doesn’t like to watch a tapestry of flourishing flowers.
