Chapter 686: Truth and Lies 6
"Third Young Master, is this your secret estate?" Xia Yinian didn’t know why, but the word suddenly came to her mind."It’s my place." Feng Yan turned his head to look at her, his voice less indifferent than usual.
However, the term ’secret estate’ seemed quite appropriate.
He couldn’t help but smile softly, "It’s sort of an estate, but I never thought to keep it a secret."
"Can I go down and have a look?" The girl seemed to have forgotten that she was here to help someone.
It can’t be helped, the fault only lies in this place being too beautiful.
"Sure." Feng Yan pulled the car over.
"As long as you don’t leave this area, it won’t be dangerous," the man reminded.
"Mhm, I understand." Xia Yinian opened the car door and got out.
Just nearby there was a pond, and the water in the pond was very clear. Occasionally, a few aquatic plants would emerge from the water, different from those in ornamental ponds.
Could it be that Third Young Master raises his own fish to eat?
Thinking this, Xia Yinian walked towards the pond.
Third Young Master’s secret estate was really special; other people raised ornamental fishes, but his seemed to be prime domestic fishes.
There were several pavilions by the pond, probably built for fishing.
On the other side of the pond was a vegetable garden, filled with various types of vegetables, all neatly organized.
It surely required frequent maintenance, but looking at it now, the servants must have finished work and gone home, as Xia Yinian didn’t see anyone at a glance.
Walking further out, there were rice fields, with ripe ears of rice just beginning to turn yellow, so green and beautiful.
It was about six o’clock now, the sun was no longer harsh, but it was still hanging in the sky.
Under such sunlight, admiring the pastoral scenery really gave one a feeling of returning home at sunset.
Unexpectedly, in such a bustling city, to find such a serene place was really rare.
Xia Yinian unconsciously walked towards a small house spotted in the corner of her eye.
Watching the approaching person, Feng Yan glanced at her and started the car, leaving the area.
The two-story house was surrounded by a fence, and layers of flowers and plants encircled the house.
Walking into the small garden, Xia Yinian really didn’t want to leave.
This place, really too comfortable; if possible, she really wanted to stay and enjoy it for a few days.
Seeing no one around, Xia Yinian directly sat down in the pavilion outside the house.
From this angle, surprisingly, she didn’t see any buildings, and it felt like she was in the wilderness, truly comfortable.
The girl stretched out her hands, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of the nature around her.
Unexpectantly, when she opened her eyes again, the beautiful view was suddenly blocked.
But, this face was also delightful to look at, and compared to the natural beauty, the allure of this face seemed even greater.
She just stared at him, almost losing herself.
Not knowing how long she had watched, Xia Yinian finally blinked and snapped back to reality.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Isn’t this Third Young Master Feng’s secret estate? How come Uncle suddenly appeared here?
Gu Beicheng furrowed his brows and pulled a chair to sit right next to her.
"I just needed to handle some things here."
Xia Yinian bit her lip, seemingly pondering something.
Suddenly, she stood up and turned to look at him.
"Right, I promised to help Third Young Master with something, Uncle, I’ll go there first."
Helping was one aspect, another aspect was that she didn’t want to be alone with him.
Being alone with him was too dangerous!
