Lily watched Link's car drive away from the greenhouse door, glanced down at the business card, and carefully slipped it into her pocket.

Link inspected the demonstration farm on the same day. The next day, an inspection team came. This inspection team came from the group headquarters. They mainly check the finances of the farm. On the African side, there is a much larger inspection team.

The finances on the farm side are also relatively simple. Because something like that happened to the African company, the head office sent someone to the farm to check the finances, and no one thought it was abnormal. And the members of the inspection team did not interfere with the work of the farm.

Link is also relaxed. He originally received an official invitation from the Tanzanian president during a meeting with him, inviting him to attend this year's Tanzanian National Day store. He thought that since he came, it didn't matter if he returned to the United States a few days later, and he couldn't behave so facelessly. And he accepted the invitation.

He came here for the sake of the bad things of the African company, but the president of the family officially invited him to attend the National Day ceremony, but he refused. What does he say about the importance of Tanzania by the Benehans Group, and it is not a nonsense?

He stayed at the demonstration farm, that is, he did not want to have too much contact with the Tanzanian government during these two days. Although Tanzania is developing, it is still a relatively backward country.

In such a country, when they seize the opportunity, they will want to attract investment. Link has no more plans in the country for the time being. If he stays in Dodoma, maybe the Tanzanian officials will take this opportunity to come to him with some investment projects or something. He didn't want to get tangled with them either. So, he simply hid on the farm.

The demonstration farm is in the dry season, and it is a dry season in the middle of a dry season, there is hardly much moisture in the sky, and the country of Tanzania is surrounded by grasslands and does not have many people. The sky is so blue that it's refreshing.

Link watched from the roof of the villa as the sun was about to set over the horizon. Such a sunset sun is hard to see even in the equally arid Nevada.

He was admiring the sunset when he suddenly heard Lily's voice, "Link!"

Link looked down and saw her waving to him in a white suspender group. He also waved his hand at the other party and said, "Shall I go down or will you come up?"

"I'll go up!"

Lily soon reached the rooftop and saw that the orange-red sun had touched the horizon and said, "I would have been amazed by the sunset for the first time here, but I found it as if I could see the same view almost every day." Of course, it still brings pleasure. ”

Link laughs and says, "I rarely pay attention to these things. Would you like something to drink?"

Lily glanced at an ice-soaked wine bottle on a small round table next to her and said, "That's your Blue Lagoon wine?"

Link nodded and said, "Yes, I made it myself, do you want to have some?"

"Hah, you made your own wine? I guess that's not very good. ”

"Why do you think so?" Link said with a smile as he walked over to the small round table. "Can't I make good wine?"

"Feeling. Otherwise, I wouldn't have heard of the wine you brewed for sale. If it had, I think it would definitely be the most expensive wine in the world. I think many people will be willing to pay a lot of money to buy and drink the wine made by the richest man in the world. ”

Link smiled and didn't explain why there wasn't any wine he made for sale in the world.

In fact, he brewed nine of them himself, and he didn't think of naming them: Evan, Caitlin, Allen, Hannah, and Isabel. He brewed them for his children, and they were only ready to be drunk at their weddings.

The other was the first Link No. 1, which he brewed, and then there were three more, namely No. 7 to No. 9. Eight and nine are all sparkling wines. Those were brewed in the last two years. It is not known how the sparkling wine tastes due to its short time, but the number one has been aged for six years, and the number seven is ready to drink.

This bottle is naturally number one. Although it has been aged for six years, it is still fresh because most of the screw caps have been tried, and Albert says that the wine may still be in its drinking period even after 100 years of ageing.

He unscrewed the lid, poured two glasses, and said, "This wine is the first time I have made it." It's been a couple of years, but it's not sold to the outside world. ”

Lily reached out and pinched the foot of the glass, shook it gently, and said, "I have to say that I have no research on wine." You know, most of my time is spent learning how to make fragrances. ”

She took a sip of her wine, smacked her mouth, and said, "Well, it feels good!" but she couldn't tell. ”

Link smiled and said, "It's good to feel good." He dragged a wicker chair from the round table and motioned for her to sit down. "I don't actually know how to taste wine. ”

Lily sat down, put her glass down and said, "But you have a wine that is the envy of all wineries." How many perfect wines do you already have? eleven or twelve?"

"Fourteen. Link said, shaking his glass. "I've hired a great group of winemakers. ”

"I've heard that you've got two winemakers who have made perfect marks who have been poached, but they only won silver medals last year. ”

Link smiled and said, "That's already a pretty good wine." ”

"Everybody says it's because the Blue Lagoon grapes are good enough. Lily said with a smile. "I think it might be. ”

Link laughed and said, "Then let's assume that's the case." He paused and said. "Let's talk about you. You've been learning perfumery in Europe?"

"No, I'm studying chemistry. My goal is to perfume, though. That's what graduate school learned. Lily took a half-shot from her glass and said. "I went to Paris five years ago as an exchange student, stayed in Paris to go to university, got a master's degree, and graduated last year. Then worked in Paris. ”

Link laughed, "It feels like time flies quickly. He looked at Lily's side face and said. "I think you're a great perfumer by now. ”

"No, there's still a lot to learn. Lily said as she finished her glass of wine. "Can you give me another drink?"

Link poured her another glass and reminded, "Don't drink so quickly. Red wine has more power than you think. He could tell that Lily didn't drink very often.

"I'll be careful. Lily turned to look at him and said. "I heard Cox say that you took DC to him five years ago?"

Link nodded and said, "Yes, I stopped by to see him from New York." ”

"At that time, did you know that I was also in DC?"

Link nodded.

Lily smiled, took a sip of wine, added the tip of her tongue to her lips, felt the faint sweet smell of red wine, and said, "I heard that you left that day." She said and took another sip. "We haven't seen each other in seven years. ”

Link nodded and said, "Yes." "He and Lily hadn't seen each other in seven years. Lily hadn't been seen at Hans's farm since he had established a relationship with Jessica and announced it to friends and family, and even when he went to Hans's house, Link no longer lived there. He later went to Huazhou, and he never saw him again.

"I'm guessing you must have known at the time that if you made a phone call, I would only need twenty minutes. Lily suddenly stared into his eyes and asked. "When you went to DC, didn't you want to see me or didn't you dare to see me?"

"Neither, I ......"

"You are!" Lily interrupted him quietly. "You know I love you, so you don't dare to see me!"

Link didn't know how to respond to her. He took a sip of wine and said, "Lily, you are a smart girl, you should know that at that time, we were no better." He had heard from Cox that Lily hadn't gotten out of her heart at that time, so he didn't want to meet. It's just that he didn't expect her to be haunted after so many years.

Lily looked away at the sunset, which had only one edge left, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I like to get to the bottom of it too much." You're right, at that time, it was probably best if we didn't see each other. ”

Link lowered his head for a moment before he looked up and said, "Lily, maybe I should have made it clear to you when I found out that you felt that way about me." ”

Lily smiled and said, "I know, because it's too familiar, because when I met you, I was too young." I grew up with Alice, so in your eyes, I'm like your sister. So you don't feel that way about me. ”

She turned her head to him and said, "That's what you think!" she said, slowly finishing the wine in her glass, then reaching for another glass. "I know that's what you think!"

Link nodded and said, "I thought you were just a girl's hazy affection for men. ”

"Of course not? I know I love you. I've been in love with you since the moment you pulled me back from the edge of hell. ”

Link pursed his lips and said, "It's better to think of that as a memory from your youth." ”

"It wasn't a good memory. Lily muttered. "Actually, I'd love to ask you. Is it because I'm not hot enough?" she said, puffing out her chest. "Now they're no smaller than Jessica. ”

Link looked at her childish tone, shook his head with a smile and said, "I admit it, I like Jessica for reasons why she is beautiful and has a good figure, but I love her." More than likes. ”

Lily giggled and said, "I knew!" she said with a smile and a sigh of relief. "I was wondering if you were very subtle because you were from the East. If I had been more direct and stripped naked and stuffed myself into you, would you have fallen in love with me? ”

Link laughed and said, "If you do that, you'll scare me to death." ”

"Is it because I'm not pretty enough?"

"No, you're beautiful, Lily. You've always been a pretty girl!" Link said, sipping his wine. "But not every man is the kind of woman he wants when he sees a beautiful woman. ”

"I know, like you!"

Link looked at the sunset in the sky and said with a smile, "You should know my past." I was adopted by Jeff and Barbara. Before that, I had a father, but he was gone. In my vague memory, there is only my mother. ”

He paused, took a sip of wine, and continued, "I wish I could have a happy family. Jeff and Barbara gave me what I wanted. But I want my children to be happy too. They can have a pair of parents who love each other to watch over their growth. So I had to find someone who was sure that she loved her and that she loved me and that she had a family. ”

"Jessica is the only person you have in mind?"

Link smiled and said, "No, in fact, before Jessica, there were two candidates, one of them, she didn't love me, and of course, I probably didn't really love her." On the other hand, she loves her career more than me. ”

What happened to Diane and Link, Lily heard something from Alice: "I'm sorry! But the latter is Hannah's biological mother?"

"Yes!" Link said, draining his glass. "She loved her flying career, so she chose to fly......"

He saw that Lily was about to go to the bottle again, and he stopped her and said, "It's time for dinner." Do you want to be together?"
