Lin Xinlan pretended to rub her numbing legs and stood up uncomfortably, "I’m going to get some fresh air."
"Where are you going for air?" Rong Shaoze stared at her, like a petulant child throwing a tantrum.
"To the backyard!" she said irritably. As long as she wasn’t with him, anywhere would do.
She hurried toward the backyard. Upon arrival, a gentle breeze brought waves of floral scent, also cooling the temperature of her face.
Rong Shaoze followed behind her closely, mimicking her every move as if he were her shadow.
She walked forward in annoyance, yet he still followed her.
The enormous swimming pool, under the sunlight, had blue water shining with dazzling brilliance.
Lin Xinlan felt a sting in her heart with just one glance.
She squinted her eyes and turned away, not daring to look for another second.
Rong Shaoze’s voice, devoid of emotion, sounded from behind, "The water in the swimming pool has not been changed."
Lin Xinlan turned her head away and said indifferently, "I don’t want to see it, just fill it in."
It was just a casual remark. Whether Rong Shaoze would do it or not, she wouldn’t care.
Little did she expect that when she woke up the next morning, Rong Shaoze was pulling her by the hand to the backyard, pointing at the filled-in swimming pool and saying, "What do you think we should build here?"
Such a wide, such a deep swimming pool, filled in overnight.
She hadn’t heard a sound, not a whisper of noise!
Lin Xinlan opened her eyes wide in disbelief, paused, and said nonchalantly, "This is your business, decide for yourself."
"I have no suggestions."
The man paused before saying, "How about planting some flowers and plants to make it look more vibrant?"
"It would be even better to plant greenhouse vegetables. Not only can we have free vegetables, but it would also look more vibrant." Lin Xinlan said this teasingly, just to silence him for a bit.
In her view, Rong Shaoze would definitely disdain crops, and certainly wouldn’t plant vegetables in his luxurious villa.
To her surprise, he nodded in agreement, not even pausing to think, "That’s a good idea, let’s plant greenhouse vegetables. What vegetables do you like? I know you like eggplants, potatoes, and cabbages, right? We’ll plant those. And, you also love bell peppers."
Lin Xinlan’s eyelashes quivered slightly.
He actually knew what vegetables she loved to eat.
"I will instruct them to start planting the vegetables here right away. If you like gardening, you can set aside a piece of land and plant whatever you like," Rong Shaoze said, slightly tilting his head and smiling at her.
In the sunlight, his smile was too dazzling, making it hard to look directly at him.
Lin Xinlan turned her gaze away, saying lightly, "I’d like to grow scallions."
Since she couldn’t do anything else here, it might be a way to pass the time by planting something.
Rong Shaoze was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded, "Alright, how big an area do you need?"
"Not big, this much should be enough," she gestured, indicating about one square meter.
The man frowned slightly, "That’s too small, not even enough for playing house. It should be at least ten square meters, but I think even ten is too small, let’s make it twenty."
Lin Xinlan rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Do you think you’re living inside it? Twenty square meters is huge, are you planning to specialize in growing scallions to sell?"
Rong Shaoze, indignant, said seriously, "Don’t mock me for not understanding, I’ve seen others grow crops. And I do have common sense,"
