Jaden sighed softly. “Someone took photos of the Flowery Ramp and the vegetable field and shared them online. As a result, our vegetable field became an online sensation. Now, people visit every day, and the village feels like a bustling market.
“I’ve had stainless steel landscape guardrails installed inside the fence so that tourists can enjoy the scenery without intruding on my property. Otherwise, my old house would be in chaos.”
“I feel sorry for you.” Luna rested her chin on one hand. “However, the scenery in your old house is really good.”
A look of fascination lit up her eyes. “Especially that Flowery Ramp. It gives me such a healing feeling that leads to happiness. I’ve only been gone two days, and I’m already missing it.” Her voice was gentle and soothing, almost like a poem. “When spring arrives and the rain begins to fall, it’s the perfect season for flowers to bloom. Who wouldn’t appreciate such poetic beauty? I have a strong feeling that your Flowery Ramp and vegetable fields will become famous attractions, drawing attention and no longer remaining quiet and low-key.”
Jaden smiled bitterly. “Thank you for your auspicious words. I think so too.”
“Jaden, since we can’t avoid it, why don’t we take advantage of it?” Luna thought of something and grabbed Jaden’s wrist excitedly. “Why don’t you set up a farm stay or bed-and-breakfast in the village?
“For one thing, it will give tourists a place to eat and rest. They won’t have to run around and ruin your flowers and vegetables.
“Secondly, you can sell the agricultural products produced by your farm on the spot. It will save time and effort.
“Thirdly, it can benefit the village and increase the villagers’ income.
Jaden looked at Luna’s hand that was holding his wrist. He did not retract his hand and only smiled. “I’ve thought about what you said, but these require a lot of investment.
“I just took out a loan of hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don’t have the energy to do this at the moment.”
“I can invest,” Luna said excitedly. “I can invest 2 million dollars, no, 6 million dollars.”
Jaden’s eyelids twitched a few times. “Miss Carter, please calm down.”
“I’m very calm.” Luna turned around and looked at Jaden. The hand holding his wrist subconsciously increased its strength. Of course, this strength was not enough to make Jaden feel pain. “And I am serious now.”
Before Jaden could say anything, Luna continued, “I’ve lived in Oxhorn Village for a while. I understand that place and your talent and character. I’m very confident in you and your farmland.
“Also, I’m not an investor. I’ve invested a lot in my career for so many years, and most of them were successful. Only a few failed but the loss wasn’t big. I admit that I have a good eye for investment.”
Jaden opened his mouth to say something, but Luna spoke first. “Most importantly, I really like the countryside scenery.” Luna’s eyes shone brightly. “I hope that I can become a part of it, build it, and love it. Therefore, please consider it.”
Her sincerity was too valuable. Jaden originally wanted to refuse, but he saw “love” in Luna’s eyes which was from the bottom of her heart, as well as dreams, which were precious and beautiful.
Hence, he became cautious and said solemnly, “Miss Carter, I don’t want to reject you, but I have to remind investment is risky.

“6 million dollars is not a small sum. Perhaps you will lose everything in the end. You can consider it carefully for a month or two before deciding.”

“There’s no need to think about it.” Luna let go of Jaden’s wrist and waved her hand. “There’s no need to hesitate about what I really like. I can afford to lose money.”
After saying that, she smiled casually. “6 million dollars is not even the price of a set of jewelry. So, you don’t have to worry that I’ll sleep on the streets if I suffer a loss.”.
Hearing that. Jaden stopped nagging and just smiled helplessly. “I don’t know why you trust me so much.”
Luna stretched out her index and middle fingers and looked into Jaden’s eyes. “I’ve been in the industry for so many years and have seen all kinds of people.
“You’re reliable, but most importantly, it’s your family.
“I believe that the children raised by your family are not bad people. At least, they won’t be liars.”
The last sentence completely convinced Jaden.
Jaden put on a warm smile. “If my mother finds out that I’m cheating outside, she’ll probably kill me.”
Luna chuckled. “I won’t interfere with your business this time, but I have a request.”
Jaden said, “Please speak.”
Luna said, “I hope you can prepare a room at your house for me so that I can take a break there.”
“No problem.” Jaden did not hesitate. “It’s just that the house is too old and there are many people there. If they go to the old house too, it might affect your rest.
“I’ll build you another hut and a flowery ramp as a thank-you gift.”
“Build a flower ramp for me?” Luna cried out in surprise. Her eyes shone with a dazzling light as she said almost subconsciously, “If you really build a flowery ramp for me, I might fall in love with you.” After saying that, her body stiffened and her mind went blank for a moment.
‘Oh my god, what did I say? How could I say such things so casually? I should have put a zipper on my mouth, she thought.
Jaden was also stunned for a few seconds. Then, he turned his face away unnaturally and coughed lightly. “Miss Carter, you are humorous.”
Luna came back to her senses and waved her hand to cover her blushed cheeks. She said awkwardly, “Haha, I’m just joking. I hope you won’t have nightmares.”
“Fortunately, my mental fortitude is not bad.” Jaden composed himself, picked up the chicken soup, and poured it into Luna’s cup. “Miss Carter, I wish us a happy cooperation!”
Both of them were straightforward people. After reaching an agreement, they began to discuss the details of the investment.
As Luna’s manager, Horace didn’t stop Luna when he heard about this. Instead, he even recommended himself. “Mr. Donovan, can I participate in the investment? I don’t have much, but 600 thousand dollars or so is okay. I hope you don’t think it’s too little.”
Jaden was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, “If you’ve really decided, I naturally welcome you.”
Louis somehow caught wind of the news. He brought someone along to meet Jaden and got straight to the point. “Mr. Donovan, this is the renowned investor, Tommy. We’re interested in investing in your farm stay and pastoral business.”
Jaden was speechless. He knew his pastoral scenery was beautiful and had unlimited potential, but it grew vegetables, not gold. These rich people were rushing to invest. He almost suspected that they had discovered that there was a gold mine buried under his farmland.

Even though he thought so, he still smiled and said, “Welcome to the investment. Thank you.”
