Chapter 108 A Sudden Surprise

The next morning, bright sunlight streamed through the window, and Gu Yichen was still immersed in a rare deep sleep. Last night, Lu Ling'er had finally forgiven him, and the passion of their long-awaited reunion kept them awake all night. Only when the sky in the east was just beginning to turn pale did Gu Yichen, exhausted, close his eyes and drift into sleep.

During this time, Gu Yichen had spent countless sleepless nights alone, tossing and turning because Lu Ling'er had been angry and separated from him. Filled with regret and anxiety, he had become completely haggard. But last night's reconciliation and intimate contact finally brought him some comfort, and his mood gradually calmed down. Exhausted, he finally fell into a deep sleep.

However, time flew by, and noon had already passed, but the two still hadn't woken up. When Gu Yichen slowly opened his eyes, he realized how late it was, and subconsciously turned to look at Lu Ling'er beside him. Lu Ling'er had just woken up, and a hint of sleepiness still hung on her face. Gu Yichen suddenly remembered that there were elders at home, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed that the two of them, as younger generations, had slept so late.

He gently nudged Lu Ling'er and reminded her, "Ling'er, shouldn't we get up now?" Lu Ling'er rubbed her eyes and glared at Gu Yichen with dissatisfaction, as if blaming him for not controlling his desires last night. Gu Yichen smiled helplessly, thinking that this little woman was so cute, like a pissed-off kitten. He gently stroked Lu Ling'er's hair and whispered, "Ling'er, I know I was wrong, and I will pay attention next time. But now we really have to get up quickly, otherwise the elders will worry."

Lu Ling'er nodded. Though still feeling a bit resentful, she slowly rose to wash. Gu Yichen gazed at her beautiful figure, his heart filled with love and happiness. After this incident, he understood how much Lu Ling'er meant to him, and he vowed to take good care of her and never let her suffer any harm again. Gu Yichen's lips curled up slightly in a wry smile, muttering softly, "Who told you to be so charming last night? I couldn't control myself?" However, Lu Ling'er happened to overhear these words, and her cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head shyly. She wanted to retort but couldn't find the right words, so she could only silently blame Gu Yichen in her heart. Lu Ling'er raised her hand and gently hit Gu Yichen with a pouty look, glaring at him angrily, as if blaming him for not waking her up earlier. After hurriedly gathering their clothes, they headed to the main house to pay their respects to the elders.

Along the way, Gu Yichen held Lu Linger's hand tightly and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, great-grandfather and others won't blame us." When they arrived at the main house, they were surprised to find that not only the elders of the family were present, but also Ji Yun, Gu Yazhu, Ji Huaide, Ji Jinghang, Ji Junche and others were gathered together.

Furthermore, Gu Yichen's two sisters unexpectedly showed up. Most unexpectedly, Steward Ji was standing nearby with two unfamiliar men, seemingly reporting something important. A solemn and tranquil atmosphere permeated the main room, as everyone gathered in a circle, listening intently to Steward Ji's report.

Ji Yun saw Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er walk in, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He didn't mean to blame them for being late. He waved his hand gently, motioning them to come over and sit down. "Ling'er, Yichen, you've arrived just in time," Ji Yun said in a gentle yet authoritative voice. "Come over and listen to this matter and give us your opinions."

Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and sat next to the elders. Steward Ji continued, "This is Master Zheng. His manor is right next to Taoyuan Villa. It has approximately 600 acres of land, including 100 acres of wasteland, 200 acres of high-quality farmland, 100 acres of medium-quality farmland, 130 acres of low-quality farmland, and a 70-acre pond. Master Zheng plans to sell this land, and we are considering purchasing it."

Manor Master Zheng was a man in his fifties, his expression calm, but his eyes hinted at a hint of anticipation. He whispered, "My manor is adjacent to Taoyuan Villa. The terrain is flat and there's an abundant water source. If the Shen family is interested in purchasing it, the price is negotiable." His tone was earnest, as if he hoped to close the deal today.

Gu Yichen listened carefully, quickly calculating in his mind. This piece of land is indeed close to Taoyuan Villa and has a good location. If purchased, whether for farming or other development, it would be helpful for the Ji family's industrial expansion. However, the amount involved in this transaction is not small, so the decision must be made with caution.

Lu Linger gently tugged at Gu Yichen's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of this piece of land?"

Gu Yichen pondered for a moment, then whispered, "This land is in a good location. The pond near the riverbank can be used for fish farming, and the farmland is divided into upper and lower grades. If managed properly, the output should be good. However, it depends on the specific offer and conditions of Master Zheng." After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Yun and said respectfully, "Father, I think this farm does have potential for purchase, but I need to learn more about the specific details, especially the water source and soil conditions of the land, and whether it is possible to expand the irrigation system."

Ji Yun nodded, clearly agreeing with Gu Yichen's analysis. He turned to look at Steward Ji and said calmly, "Since that's the case, let's learn more about Master Zheng's conditions."

Seeing everyone's serious attitude, Master Zheng felt a little nervous. He quickly added, "Mr. Shen, if the Shen family is interested, I can personally take people to check the land conditions, and I can also ensure that there are absolutely no hidden dangers in the water source of these lands." His tone was sincere, and it was obvious that he had great expectations for this deal.

Gu Yichen was silent for a moment, and he had a plan in mind. He whispered to Lu Linger, "Let's go and see these lands together and confirm them ourselves before making a decision." Lu Linger nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere in the room gradually relaxed, and everyone began to discuss the details. The arrival of Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er made the discussion more comprehensive. During this discussion, the two also demonstrated their sense of responsibility and wisdom as the younger generation of the family, gradually integrating themselves into the core decision-making of the family.
