"It will allow you to open a trade route between Tianqi and Lujin before Lujin is incorporated into Tianqi's territory. To the west of Lujin, there are many items that are not available in the Central Plains."

"It will also allow you to successfully control most of the medicinal material merchants in the south in a short period of time. A surviving Duan family will be more helpful to you."

Duan Jiling looked directly into Wen Zhimiao's eyes and answered her questions seriously.

Apart from anything else, the Duan family does have considerable prestige in the south today.

Wen Zhimiao stretched lazily after hearing this: "In that case, cooperation is really necessary."

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Wen Zhimiao poured a cup of tea for Duan Jiling and also poured a cup of tea for himself.

She raised her glass and clinked it with Duan Jiling.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Duan Jiling smiled and curled the corners of his mouth towards Wen Zhimiao.

The ship was about to dock.

Duan Jiling put down the teacup in his hand: "Miaomiao really doesn't like men?"

Wen Zhimiao didn't expect her to ask this suddenly and almost choked.

“It’s not really like it.”

"So you like women?" Duan Jiling asked.

Wen Zhimiao didn't know why he thought of Shi Wanyue first.

She actually couldn't tell whether she liked Shi Wanyue or not.

Although I read a lot of novels in my previous life, reading novels is one thing, and I have never really liked anyone.

She couldn't tell whether she and Shi Wanyue had more similar interests, or more friendship as young boys, or something else.

Wen Zhimiao shook his head: "I don't know, maybe."

Duan Jiling touched his chin thoughtfully: "If Miaomiao likes girls, you can consider me."

Wen Zhimiao was really choked this time.

"This is no joke."

Duan Jiling blinked at her: "I'm not kidding."

"I just like Miaomiao." Duan Jiling sat there, swinging his feet.

Wen Zhimiao was a little embarrassed for a moment: "You may just have no one to accompany you, and I am the first one to accompany you. If you make more friends, you will find that there are many interesting people. I am just an ordinary one."

"Really? I don't believe it." Duan Jiling tilted her head and looked at her. In fact, she had contact with quite a few people, but there were very few with whom she could confide.

Wen Zhimiao looked away, too embarrassed to meet her gaze: "Really, you'll know when you get in touch with more people."

Duan Jiling laughed: "Okay, what if I still think Miaomiao is the cutest after meeting more people?"

Wen Zhimiao really didn't know how to answer her for a moment.

How would she know what to do!

It was only the second day since they met, how could they fall in love so quickly!

Wen Zhimiao drank tea uncomfortably: "No."

Duan Jiling did not continue to tease her, but just laughed: "Miaomiao is so cute."

Wen Zhimiao felt melancholy. How could she be so cute?

Seeing the boat approaching the shore, Wen Zhimiao almost ran away.

He said goodbye to Duan Jiling in a hurry and left.

She suddenly understood Yun Zhou's good intentions. She shouldn't feel sorry for girls easily, especially when she doesn't want to take responsibility.

Especially girls who lack care.

But she didn't know that Duan Jiling was also a girl who lacked care!

Who knows?

Besides, who would like someone they have just known for two days?

Duan Jiling watched Wen Zhimiao hurriedly say goodbye to her and leave, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She really wasn't kidding.

In their village, if you like someone, you will just say it directly. Isn't it the same in Central Plains?

Duan Jiling sighed, then relaxed her brows, but it seemed that she would say it directly if she didn't like someone. Miaomiao had only known her for two days, so it was normal for her to not like someone.

As long as Miaomiao doesn't have someone she likes, she still has a chance.

The boat was docked at the pleasure boat, which was still bustling even after dark.

Wen Zhimiao hurriedly left the pleasure boat under the guidance of the maid.

When they arrived outside the pleasure boat, Chu Qiu had already prepared the horses.

It didn't take much time to ride back to Prince Shun's Palace on horseback.

When Wen Zhimiao returned, the guards at the door were all dozing off.

Seeing her come back, I suddenly woke up a lot.

Wen Zhimiao originally wanted to go back to her own courtyard directly, but on the way to her courtyard, she had to pass by the courtyard where Shi Wanyue and the others lived.

Looking at the package in his hand, Wen Zhimiao thought for a moment, turned a corner and went directly to their yard.

First, I put the small gifts I bought for others in their rooms.

Then he tiptoed into Shi Wanyue's room.

Place the jade flute and other small items you bought on the table.

I originally wanted to put my things down and go back to take a shower and sleep.

But just as she walked back to the window, she heard a cold female voice behind her: "How come His Highness Yuan Zhao changed his career to become a thief?"

Wen Zhimiao muttered softly, "That's too mean."

"That scoundrel comes to deliver something." Wen Zhimiao stood at the window and retorted to Shi Wanyue stubbornly.

When Shi Wanyue heard her rebuttal, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly unconsciously, but then he suppressed it again.

She stood up, walked to the table in the moonlight, and lit the candles in the room.

The moment he turned his head to look at Wen Zhimiao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But when he thought about how she had been out playing with others all day, he couldn't help but look cold.

Shi Wanyue's eyes fell on the mask and jade flute on the table.

Wen Zhimiao took the opportunity to walk over to her and handed the flute to Shi Wanyue obediently: "Sister, aren't you looking for a good jade flute? I saw it in the ghost market and I think it suits you."

Shi Wanyue took the flute in her hand, her eyes still slightly cold: "Is the ghost market fun?"

Wen Zhimiao wanted to say it was fun, but when he saw Shi Wanyue's expression, he immediately changed his words: "It would be fun if my sister could accompany me to play."

Shi Wanyue glanced at her calmly and said, "Your Highness doesn't lack company."

Wen Zhimiao hooked her hand, couldn't help but puffed up his cheeks, and then gently shook her hand: "Sister, don't be angry~"

"I also wanted to find out the details of that place, and I didn't just go there for fun, I wanted to gain something."

Shi Wanyue turned around and stretched out her hand to pinch her chin: "Your Highness, do you have the awareness to always take care of your own safety?"

"A place like that is full of people of all kinds. You have an unknown Duan clan member by your side. If they ambush you on the island, how can you guarantee that you can return safely?"

Shi Wanyue's tone was not very good. She was usually a calm person, and it was rare for her to show her anger so obviously.

Wen Zhimiao lowered his head and whispered, "It's okay."

"Besides, before landing on the island, I asked Chu Qiu to arrange some people."

"Okay, Your Highness always has his own arrangements, and I shouldn't interfere too much in Your Highness's affairs." Shi Wanyue was really angry.

When Wen Zhimiao heard her words, his heart sank to the bottom.

She didn't expect Shi Wanyue to be so angry.
