Chapter 752: Sign the Contract
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Feiran did not care about power or status. However, she had to solidify her position as the heir and become the family’s head as soon as possible to protect her parents.
Ye Feiran was also hot-blooded. She knew her father and grandfather wanted the family to return to its former glory instead of the various factions suppressing them. The Ye family could only be strong by fighting back.
Ye Feiran knew how vast and compet.i.tive the southern market was. The family could only solidify their position by selling irreplaceable products.
No one else could make wine and tofu products like the Su family could, so Ye Feiran also considered buying tofu and embroidery products from Su Binglan. While considering these things, Ye Feiran forgot she held Su Binglan’s hand.
Su Binglan knew Ye Feiran was a woman, so the former remained calm. However, Su Wenwu turned pale, wondering if Ye Feiran had feelings for Su Binglan.
Su Binglan observed her brother’s expression and smirked. She thought Su
Wenwu would realize Ye Feiran was a woman if she hinted something at him.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “You don’t have to be so polite, Feiran. We’re on the same side, after all. You can import whatever products you want from me.”
Su Binglan also considered opening a factory in the south. Then, purchasing more products would be more convenient for Ye Feiran. That way, they could reduce import costs and increase the profit margin.
Su Binglan would also open a seafood restaurant and kebab shop in the south. However, she first needed to see how business would go there. If it went well, she would open food and alcohol shops.
A few days ago, Luo Jin’an transferred a few people to Su Binglan to use. She planned to train these people well and make them managers in various shops and factories.
Ye Feiran and Su Binglan’s cooperation discussion went smoothly. The more they talked, the more they agreed with each other. Soon, they drafted and signed contracts.
Su Binglan also wrote down a few recipes for Ye Feiran. Ye Feiran was excited to work with the Su family as their cooperation was mutually beneficial. Her blood boiled when she thought about how her family would soon surpa.s.s the others in the South.
Su Binglan realized there was still much time before lunch. She told Su
Wenwu, “Give Feiran a tour of the village, won’t you?”
She noticed his expression and knew he had something to say to Ye Feiran. Therefore, she wanted to give them some alone time.
‘They shouldn’t hold back in talking to each other. They must speak their minds,’ Su Binglan thought it was a little funny.
Su Wenvvu did not know his sister’s thoughts. He only knew she wanted him to bring Ye Feiran around to understand his family’s businesses better.
However, Su Wenwu was absent-minded when he brought Ye Feiran around the village. Although he was usually talkative around her, he was silent this time.
Ye Feiran thought the tofu factory was interesting, so she kept talking to Su Wenwu about it. Still, she realized he did not speak much. She looked at Su Wenwu and noticed he looked pale and troubled.
Ye Feiran asked with concern, “Is something on your mind?”
“I’m fine.” Su Wenwu felt he could not tell her his thoughts. After all, they
were close friends, and he did not want to scare Ye Feiran away.
“Wenwu, I know you have something on your mind. Am I your sworn brother if you can’t tell me your thoughts?” Ye Feiran lowered her head and feigned disappointment.
Su Wenwu became anxious when he heard Ye Feiran’s words. He stammered,
“N-No, don’t overthink it. I-I just don’t know how to tell you.”
Ye Feiran raised her brows, saying, “It’s okay. You can speak your mind because we’re sworn brothers, right? I won’t tell anyone what you tell me.”
She looked at Su Wenwu with a trusting gaze as she spoke. Su Wenwu could not resist such a gaze, saying, “Y-You’re right. It’s just that…”
Although he was usually talkative around Ye Feiran, he could barely speak this time. He even blushed a little.
Ye Feiran stopped and blinked at Su Wenwu, asking, “What is it.”
Su Wenwu took a deep breath and said, “You know that my sister is married, right? He’s my brother-in-law, and we had dinner together last night. You…” Ye Feiran understood what he was referring to and could not help but laugh.
‘He’s such a fool sometimes.’
She remembered holding Su Binglan!s hand just now and thought nothing was wrong since the two were women. Moreover, Su Binglan did not pull away. Instead, she smiled at Ye Feiran. Su Wenwu’s eyes were full of ridicule at that time.
Meanwhile, Ye Feiran realized how clever Su Binglan was. The former thought Su Binglan had already suspected she was a woman disguised as a man long ago.
Ye Feiran suppressed her laughter and said, “Don’t worry. I’m not into women.”
Su Wenwu was shocked as he widened his eyes in surprise.
‘If she doesn’t like women, then she likes men? B-But I’m a man.’
Ye Feiran looked at Su Wenwu, conflicted. The latter was shocked and blushed for some reason. His mind was a mess as he stammered, “Y-You… l…
Ye Feiran found his reaction hilarious. She knew him well but had never seen him like that. She had to admit Su Wenwu looked adorable. “Wenwu, can I ask you something?”
Su Wenwu gulped and said, “Sure, go ahead.”
Ye Feiran stepped closer to Su Wenwu and looked at him. “Do you have someone you like?”
“No… No, I don’t.’
“Then what do you think of me?” Ye Feiran mustered all up her courage to ask him that. However, she made herself look calm. She understood Su Binglan’s intentions since the latter had guessed she was a woman.
Su Binglan had even told the two to walk around the village for some alone time. Naturally, Ye Feiran knew what Su Binglan wanted her to do.
Ah… I… l…” Su Wenwu stuttered.
Ye Feiran lowered her head and changed her tone, “Are you afraid of me?”
