Chapter 576: Time to harvest
The next day, while Muyang was off to work with the breakfast prepared by his wife, an afternoon snack and a large serving of assorted fruits, Chi Lian took her own tour of the house. It was as lovely and exceptional as she desired.
She had asked for a swimming pool, a mini basketball court for her son, a basement for herself and a movie room.
The backyard had a well constructed barn for the animals which was spacious in case she decided to bring in more animals, the farmland which the emperor had gifted her with was flourishing with wheat, corn and rice which were all ripe and ready for harvesting. There was a pond of water that housed beautiful fish of koi and other breeds. Above the pond was a small stone bridge which led to the flower gardens.
The gardens had been planted with a variety of different flowers and because of the season, they were flourishing, their beautiful petals waving at the slightest breeze of wind which passed by. Some had overpowering scents which beckoned any passerby to stop and sniff the air.
She even saw the crepe myrtle trees which Muyang talked about. They were still short and young, yet to grow and fill the large space with their beauty. For now, the set of swings were standing alone. Closer to them was a family set of brown wicker tables and chairs which were sheltered under an umbrella stand.
She stretched her arms and laughed as she looked up at the blue sky. "Thank you." She shouted. She then turned around, taking the same path which had led her out here.
"Woof woof!" she bumped into Blackguard and his little family going over the bridge and he paused and barked at her.
"Woof woof to you Blackguard." she replied playfully. "Are you exercising or taking a walk?"
"Woof." one bark for yes.
