Chapter 149
841%2
Behind the rows of racks hung with beans, a young man was bending over slightly, weeding in the farm field
He was tall and long-legged, wearing a brown cowboy hat, a white tank top, and blue pants. A white towel hung around his neck, and the bottoms of the pants were rolled up above his knees, revealing his strong chest, powerful arms, and well- proportioned calves.
He had healthy and s***y skin that was covered in a thin layer of sweat that flickered charmingly under the sunlight.
The strange thing was that although he was a farmer and did farm work, his actions were not rough at all. Instead, he exuded a refined and masculine aura.
Luna felt that he was just like those talented men who went to the countryside to live in. Even if he wore rough clothes and
did farm work, he could not hide his innate refined temperament.
Under her gaze, the young man stood up, one hand on the ***e handle, the other holding a towel to wipe his sweat.
The sun shone on his body from the side, outlining a beautiful, powerful, and s***y outline and gilding it with a golden glow.
Luna stared at his face, unable to look away for a moment. If this was a film set, she would definitely think that he was the male lead.
The young man seemed to have sensed her gaze. He turned around and was slightly stunned at first. He nodded slightly at her and revealed a gentle and friendly smile. Then, he retracted his gaze and continued to weed
The distance between the two of them was only about 70 feet.
Luna was confused and thought, He is so young, so his eyesight must be very good. He must have seen the movie I starred in. Even if he could not recognize me, he could tell that I was a beauty. Why didn’t he take a few more glances at me or greet
me?
After a moment of hesitation, she stepped over the 3 feet-plus-wide flower field and walked along the path between the vegetable fields.
She stopped about over 30 feet away from the young man and said loudly, “Excuse me, are you the owner of this house, Mr. Donovani
Jaden stopped weeding and turned to look at her. He said politely, “I am.”
Luna smiled and said, “Hello, I’m Luna Carter. I’m a crew member of High Mountain. I especially came to look for you today to discuss renting this area for filming.
Jaden smiled and replied, “Miss Carter, welcome. However, I’ve already replied to your crew regarding the filming. No matter who comes, I won’t agree.
Luna asked, “Why not? We can guarantee that we won’t destroy it. In other words, the things we use fiere will be restored and we can help you open up the wasteland. Why aren’t you willing to rent it to up?”
Jaden carried the hoe on his shoulder and walked around the cabbage under his feet. He walked out of the vegetable field and walked along the path. He said to Luna, “My grandparents are not in good health and are nostalgic. I can’t let them leave this place for too long, let alone take the risk that everything here might be destroyed.”
Luna opened her mouth to say something.
However, Jaden changed the topic. “You came all the way here and I rejected you. You must be feeling terrible.
“It’s eleven o’clock in the morning. It’s almost lunchtime. If you don’t mind, you can stop by my place. I’ll make you lunch.

At other times, you can walk around. Although this is the countryside, the scenery is indeed not bad.”
Luna opened her mouth, wanting to convince him on the spot.
Then, she thought, “Why am I in such a hurry? It isn’t like the crew is going to start filming immediately. I have plenty of time to convince him.
Hence, she adjusted the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose and revealed a perfect smile again. “Thank you, Mr. Donovan I’ll accept it,” she said.
Jaden smiled. He put down the hoe and asked, “What do you want to cat for the vegetables in this field?”
Luna gulped and replied, “I want to eat all of them.”
Jaden nodded, squatted down, and pulled out a large handful of soiled cabbage from the ground.
Then, he stood up and picked beans, cucumbers, eggplants, and tomatoes as he walked. He held them in his arms with one hand and was very skilled.
Luna followed behind him. She looked at her watch and asked curiously, “You didn’t look at your watch. How did you know it was eleven o’clock?”
Jaden said, “I end my farm work at this time almost every day. After a long time, I can judge based on my senses.”
Luna asked in admiration, “Why do you end your farm work at this time every day?”
She thought, ‘We usually knock off at twelve o’clock.”
Jaden said, “It’s too hot in summer. It’s almost impossible to work on the farm from 11 AM to 5 PM.”
Luna nodded and asked, “How long have you been farming here?”
Jaden replied, “If I grow vegetables full-time, it should start from six years ago.”
Luna asked, “Did you plant this flower path?”
Jaden said, “I planted it mainly, but my family will help me plant it when they’re free.”
Luna nodded and did not ask further. She continued to observe her surroundings curiously.
The two of them quickly walked to the small playground.
Many kinds of fruits were planted on both sides of the small field. They were all Luna’s favorites. The colorful fruits made her eager to eat.
There was also a large circle of roses planted. The flowers of various colors were blooming so thickly that she liked them very much.
She could not help but wonder how much time and effort he had put in to create such a beautiful place.
There was no courtyard in the small building. The door to the house was open. It was relatively wide and had a porch. There was a large pot of lush roses by the door.
A big yellow dog was napping under the rose bushes. When it heard footsteps, it opened its eyes and jumped up. It wagged its tail and barked at Jaden
The meowing sounds of cats could be heard from the flowers on the side of the wall. A parrot was calling out from the balcony, Jaden, hello!”

Luna was particularly envious and thought, Planting flowers, friars, and vegetables. Having cats, dogs, and birds. What a comfortable life!”
Jaden pushed open the door and said, “Miss Carter, please come in.”
Luna thanked him politely. Just as she was about to walk in, she heard a woman’s gentle voice behind her. “Jaden, is that you? I’m here to visit your grandparents…”
