Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Achieve Cooperation to Cause Trouble (1)_1

The sunlight flooded through the windowsill, covering the ground, and the room was silent, only the clear sound of pages turning echoed intermittently.

Even with skimming, finishing a hundred and twenty pages would take some time, and Yan Junyu, who went from being casually indifferent to fully absorbed, spent even more time.

Watching the slender and fair fingers of the person opposite her flipping through the business proposal she had carefully prepared, Mo Yan was confident, but she couldn’t truly relax without his explicit assent.

Two hours later, Yan Junyu finished the last word. His enchanting peach blossom eyes shot straight toward the girl opposite him, sparkling with admiration yet also profound puzzlement.

He had thought it was just trifling matter, but to his surprise, this little girl had given him such a great surprise and shock. Even more rare was her ability to judge the situation; knowing she couldn’t "devour" this big piece of meat on her own, she generously sought capable allies without regretting the division of the spoils. Such audacity isn’t common, and moreover, she was still a young girl not yet of marriageable age.

He was very curious, this girl was nothing but an ordinary farmer’s daughter. Even though she grew in knowledge under her scholar father, it was unlikely she could surpass ladies from World Families who were taught from a young age. Could she really be naturally intelligent to be like this? But one’s perspective in life is not something that can be attributed to natural intelligence alone!

Feeling the intense probing gaze staring at her, Mo Yan’s heart felt fuzzy; her mouth twitched and she glared back without politeness. "Young Master, regarding the proposal just now... I wonder what your thoughts are?"

Yan Junyu gave her an interested look, feeling like teasing her. Resting his head on his right hand, he pretended to reflect deeply for a while. Then, under Mo Yan’s expectant gaze, he leisurely said, "What you’ve written looks good, but that so-called wine named ’grape wine’, can you guarantee many people will like it? If Lord commits a large sum of silver to build a winery and the wine is brewed but ignored, it doesn’t matter to you as you don’t spend a Wen money, but Lord’s loss would be substantial! This business, it’s not worth the risk for Lord."

Mo Yan didn’t argue, but simply opened a small jar of grape wine she had placed on the table beforehand, pouring into a cup that resembled green jade. Suddenly, the entire room was pervaded with a fragrance of sweet and lingering wine.

The very moment when the grape wine bubbled out of the jar, Yan Junyu was captivated by its enchanting hue, which became all the more mysterious and dazzling when set against the green jade color of the cup. An impulsive feeling surged in his heart, a reluctance to drink away such mesmerizing beauty.

"Young Master, this jar of grape wine was personally brewed by me. You may as well taste it first and then decide," said Mo Yan.

Mo Yan hadn’t missed the fleeting change of expression on his face, feeling immensely proud.

This jar of grape wine was one of the earliest batches brewed in the Space. In real time, only six or seven months had passed, but in the Space, eighty to ninety years had gone by. It couldn’t compare to the wines consumed during the new year’s celebration that hadn’t been fostered by time and Spiritual Energy.

Yan Junyu, whose thoughts had been captured by the wine, came back to reality and looked deeply into Mo Yan’s eyes. He then picked up the cup and took a small sip, closing his eyes to savor the taste meticulously.

As the Young Master of Duke Wu’an’s Mansion, deeply favored by the two great heads of the palace, it could be said that he had tasted every world’s delicacy and fine wine, except for legendary dragon’s liver and phoenix gallbladder, or the fairy dew. Today, however, he realized that the so-called finest wines he had tasted in the past were nothing special. In terms of color, taste, or flavor, none of them compared to three parts of this cup of grape wine.

The wine was quickly finished, and Yan Junyu’s jade-like handsome face was tinted with a hint of red, his incredibly seductive peach blossom eyes shimmering with rippling light, effortlessly hooking the hearts of those around him.
