We Are Meant To Be novel Chapter 267

As Yvonne Jiang looked up, she realized that they had arrived at one side of the garden, which was less crowded. The peonies were planted and arranged beautifully, each of which was eye-catching.

“Wow, what a variety!” She could not help but be amazed as well. Although it was a small garden, it had various types of flowers and plants there.

Upon hearing Yvonne’s words, James Feng noticed that she knew a lot about peonies. Indeed, for celebrities like her, money was like their lives. They had travelled everywhere and had a strong desire and motivation to appreciate nature’s beauty.

Besides, Yvonne worked hard for her life goals, and she was pretty knowledgeable.

James glanced at her and spoke indifferently: “Looks like I don’t need to introduce them to you since you are a better talker than I am.” Perhaps that might be the truth too.

By that, Yvonne suddenly realized that she made a mistake just now. No way, she would be showing off and might have a slip of the tongue if she bragged too much. Who knows that she could say something that offended him, and affected her happy future.

She hurriedly declined him, “I’m not. I can’t display my poor knowledge in front of my master. Besides, I am your disciple, and I will listen to all your lectures!” Afterwards, Yvonne deliberately showed her ears and continued: “I am all ears!”

Yvonne said excellent rhetoric. She wanted James to bring out the main explanation without making him feel disgusted, and at the same time, he also could not refute her.

Truthfully, it was easy for James to escape from her, but would they only talk about the peonies? He smiled indifferently while thinking about it. Perhaps, talking about the flowers was a way to go, since he did not have to overthink anything else.

However, James carefully observed his thought and realized that his knowledge about peonies was also limited, but it was not a big deal. He even knew various ancient tales about these flowers. Why wouldn’t he tell her one, then?

Besides, he knew peony was famous in Luoyang and would rely on it. He also added the story of Zetian Wu, the well-known female empress in Chinese history. She was the only female empress who proclaimed herself as an emperor. He then connected the past with the peony tale and created an exciting story!

“Haha, how do you know so much about it?” Yvonne became amused by him and laughed heartily. She had never heard of these stories, yet those seemed lively to her. Yvonne also thought that James was wise and knew all kinds of tales thoroughly, not knowing that he made up those right at the moment.

Hearing Yvonne’s praise for him, James accepted it wholly, not being his humble self. Since she took it seriously, he would just let her be. He made up that story, after all, and might not remember the whole plot if she asked about it later.

James asked her with pride when he saw Yvonne tremble with laughter, “how was it? Are you having a great time tonight?” Afterwards, James felt his thoughts begin to brew in his mind. But, whether to tell her or not, it was indeed quite a big deal.
