Well, you couldn't blame him! This was simply too shocking!
"Sir, there's a call from the military." The butler handed a satellite phone to Lin Weihao.
Without a word, Lin Weihao stood up and strode toward the study to answer the call.
Feng Ran really wanted to follow and ask! Having to suppress a stomach full of curiosity was going to kill him!
.....
Lu Nanzhi and Lin Weihao didn't exactly part on bad terms. Although his earlier actions were presumptuous, Lin Weihao remained composed and didn't force the matter further.
Realizing his overstep, Lin Weihao actually apologized. "I'm sorry, Miss Lin. It's my first time pursuing a woman."
Before leaving, he handed her the property documents and clarified they were gifts, not bribes for marriage. "These are at your disposal. If you lack funds, you can sell them or do whatever you wish."
Then, without another word, he left on his own accord.
(A/N: I like the male lead to have some flaws. Don't worry, this won't turn into a forceful relationship. I hate that trope too!)
Looking at the extravagant documents left behind, Lu Nanzhi was left in a daze.
As rumors had said, Lin Weihao was truly unpredictable.
To clear her mind, Lu Nanzhi immersed herself in household chores.
She harvested the first batch of crops from her plot and sowed a second round of seeds in the empty spaces. Because she had been traveling for a week, she hadn't had a chance to cook any of the harvested produce.
She tried a few raw fruits, like apples, mandarins, bananas, and grapes, as well as some fresh olives and jujubes. To her surprise, not only were they fresher than anything in high-end markets, but their taste and size were also incomparable.
The vibrant fruits and vegetables seemed as if they had been kissed by morning dew, each one glistening with freshness.
As for her wheat and rice harvests, they were still in husks and would require milling later.
In the kitchen, she worked swiftly, using cabbage, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, tomatoes, and corn to prepare a few dishes: stir-fried bean sprouts with mushrooms, steamed cabbage rolls stuffed with ground beef and carrots, a fluffy tomato-and-egg omelet, and steamed corn.
After sampling her dishes, Lu Nanzhi couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. Not only were they delicious, but they also seemed to replenish her energy. She could feel her stamina recovering, and her exhaustion seemed to melt away.
Since she had some spare time, Lu Nanzhi drove to a nearby supermarket and bought out their stock of disposable Styrofoam lunch boxes. She returned home and began packaging her freshly made meals for later use.
