Chapter 67: Mistakenly Becoming a Mistress
"No, it's not a wedding ring. I wanted to give it to my mother as a birthday present. The ring my father gave her years ago was lost, and I have never been able to buy one that satisfies her." Li Rongsen answered her in detail.
An Yan nodded slightly, thinking that this is how it is.
Li Rongsen said, "The way you dress today suits you quite well."
"It's Sheng Mingjie again. He clearly wants to make fun of me. I won't let him off next time." An Yan snorted lightly, then took out the materials she had prepared and said, "Look at this. I just want to choose a good place among these three mountains to build a large courtyard for my master and my father to live in peace and contentment."
"You have a good plan." Li Rongsen picked it up and looked at it.
An Yan asked him again: "If you are willing to help me design, please give me a price."
"Why talk about money? Mr. Hua has helped me a lot, and I should thank him." Li Rongsen would never take An Yan's money.
But An Yan said, "Let's put it this way. We still have to negotiate the price. I can afford it."
"I know you can afford it, but I design based on my taste. I won't agree to something just because you have money." Li Rongsen said to her with a smile, and then said, "Would you like to go and see the backyard? I designed it to look like a field and mountains."
"Okay." An Yan nodded and followed Li Rongsen to appreciate it.
It really has a pastoral atmosphere, just the type An Yan likes.
Li Rongsen was standing behind An Yan. Suddenly, he smelled a fragrance coming towards him and asked her, "Did you wear perfume?"
"Sheng Mingjie did give me a bottle, but I don't like the smell of perfume." An Yan said frankly.
"I was just thinking, there doesn't seem to be any perfume that smells like herbs." Li Rongsen said as he gestured for her to move forward. "I know your three mountains are very large, so you can plan them and plant some fruit trees."
"I was just thinking about that. Peach orchards, pear orchards, and loquat orchards are all good choices. That way, we won't have to worry about running out of fruit to eat."
Li Rongsen nodded, thinking that although she was usually indifferent and serious, she actually had a childlike innocence.
"Tomorrow, I'll sort out all my requirements and some ideas and tell you. Please help me figure out the best design."
"You can tell me whatever you think of. Design requires a lot of communication to produce a product that completely satisfies the client." Li Rongsen originally did not have this habit, but this time was an exception.
"That's not necessary. Your opinion should be the main focus. This way, there will be more room for creativity and we can produce the best work." An Yan knew that when it came to design, too many restrictions would be detrimental to achieving a perfect work.
"Okay, I'll do my best."
"You just said you won't charge me for the design fee, so I won't charge you for the ring I designed for you either." An Yan had just thought of this, so that no one owed anything to anyone.
Li Rongsen said, "That's not a good idea. That diamond is not cheap."
"I know your design fee is far more than the price of a diamond." An Yan signaled him not to be polite and just accept it with peace of mind.
"Go back. I asked them to make snacks and tea."
An Yan checked the time on her phone and said, "Alright, we still need to discuss which area to mark out for building a yard."
Li Rongsen nodded, and went back to the main hall with An Yan, and ordered the people below to bring up all the food.
The TV in the main living room was on and broadcasting the news.
Li Rongsen didn't even think about turning it off, while An Yan picked up the blueprint and took a look at it before handing it to him, saying, "I think this area is pretty good. Let's make an appointment next time and go over and take a look together."
"It is necessary. We must measure it on site, otherwise it will not be accurate." Li Rongsen nodded and drew a circle there.
An Yan added, "This other place is also good. It's between two mountains, but it's a little smaller. I think it's a little small, but there are only two of them living there, and a place that's too big would seem too lonely."
"Do they need to build something special?" Li Rongsen asked.
"What is the special thing?" An Yan was a little confused.
"It's Taoism, Buddhism and the like." Li Rongsen reminded her.
An Yan suddenly realized and said, "Then I have to ask."
At this time, Li Rongsen seemed to hear a familiar voice. He instinctively looked for the source of the voice and found that it came from the TV.
And An Yan also looked up to watch TV.
It was Wang Lina who was being interviewed.
She wore sunglasses and looked a bit down. She said, "I don't know what happened. There must be a misunderstanding. Rong Sen and I are still engaged. He won't do anything to let me down."
"But he has been photographed having dinner with other women." a reporter asked her.
Wang Lina continued to defend Li Rongsen, saying, "Eating is a normal thing. Everyone has friends of the opposite sex. Don't make random assumptions. I believe Rongsen has his reasons. Besides, I know that girl. She's already engaged, so it's impossible for her to have other thoughts."
"You are talking about Mu Anyan. She is engaged to the Li family, right?" another reporter asked her.
"How would I know? You should go ask the person involved." Wang Lina was about to leave after she said that, but she couldn't because she was kept stopped by reporters.
At this time, someone asked her: "So the current situation is that Mr. Li has not yet broken off the engagement with you, right?"
"Have you seen the report saying that we have broken off our engagement?" Wang Lina asked back.
Someone else asked: "If Mr. Li really cheated on you, would you forgive him?"
"I don't want to answer any more questions. Please move aside." Wang Lina said as she was about to leave, but at this time the sunglasses on her face were pushed off by the person next to her.
The flash lights kept shining on her.
The pair of beautiful eyes under the sunglasses were red, as if they were swollen after crying.
Everyone was speculating that Li Rongsen had really done something wrong to Wang Lina.
Li Rongsen turned off the TV and said, "This is really baffling." He then said to An Yan, "They will definitely make a big fuss about it. I'm a man so it doesn't matter, but you're a woman. It's really too much to misunderstand you as a mistress."
"They have their mouths on their faces. No matter what they say, as long as I have a clear conscience, that's all." An Yan really didn't care. She took a sip of tea and then said, "It's almost time. I should go back too."
"I'll take you there." Li Rongsen blurted out, but then he said, "Forget it, I'll let Nison come and take you there."
"What's the difference between you sending me there and Nissen coming to send me there? It will still be attributed to you. I can go back by myself." An Yan said and left.
She walked to the intersection and hailed a taxi. The driver was a woman, and she said, "You look familiar to me."
"What's wrong? Have you seen me?"
"Are you the mistress, the woman who came between Wang Lina and Li Rongsen?" The female driver's tone had become very bad.
An Yan said: "What's it to you?"
"Hmph, what I hate most is mistresses. Mistresses deserve to die." The female driver gritted her teeth.
An Yan said: "You don't even understand the facts. Who are you hating here? It's really inexplicable."
"I've never seen a mistress as crazy as you. Since you dare to be a mistress, you should expect to be condemned by everyone." The female driver was so excited that she drove the car towards the downtown area.
