The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

An Mi watched Liu Xu's retreating figure and sighed. Thinking of what Liu Xu had just said, An Mi's eyes brightened. She really hadn't expected that the seemingly weak Liu Xu would kill the eldest young master of the Mei family. And she naturally knew her purpose: by killing the eldest young master of the Mei family, she had also pushed the Liu family into the eye of the storm!

Hmph, the Liu family, this time, I'm afraid there's going to be a good show to watch!

"Cheng Ying!" An Mi called out loudly, summoning Cheng Ying, and then whispered, "Have someone send a message to the Mei family in Jicheng, saying that the eldest young master of the Mei family has died suddenly at the Liu residence!"

She wanted to see how the Liu family would face this predicament!

Upon hearing An Mi's order, Cheng Ying froze, staring at An Mi in disbelief. "Miss, this news..."

Just now, when they went to the Liu family to deliver the invitation, they saw the eldest young master of the Mei family looking energetic and aggressive. How long has it been? Dead suddenly?

"What are you still standing there for? The sooner the Mei family in Jicheng knows about this, the better. Make sure someone is on horseback and gets to Jicheng as soon as possible." Seeing Cheng Ying's stunned expression, An Mi knew that the news had come too suddenly, but she had no doubts about it.

Just now, she saw the hatred that Liu Xu had for the Liu family in Liu Xu's eyes. She could even imagine how miserable the eldest young master of the Mei family would be under Liu Xu's hatred.

Cheng Ying suddenly came to her senses and immediately understood that something must have happened that she was unaware of.

"Yes, miss, I'll take care of it right away." Cheng Ying accepted the order and immediately withdrew. The eldest young master of the Mei family died suddenly at the Liu family's house? Ha! The Mei family... she'd be happy to see something happen to the Mei family!

After Cheng Ying left, An Mi remained standing in the same spot, looking in the direction Liu Xu had gone. Liu Xu was no longer in sight. This woman had ultimately not escaped the cruel tricks of fate. What would her fate be after leaving the Liu family and Rong Jincheng?

Anmi thought about some things from her past life. In this life, many things have changed, but there are still many things that have not broken free from their original course. In her past life, Liu Xu was given to a powerful figure in the capital by Madam Liu. So, in this life, will Liu Xu be involved with the capital again?

For some reason, she always had a premonition that she and Liu Xu might meet again in the future.

"Sigh..." Fate is a thing that is sometimes really hard to explain.

"Why are you sighing?" Bai Yi's voice suddenly rang in her ears. An Mi was slightly startled. When she turned around, she saw Bai Yi's handsome face, which was very large in front of her. It was this turn of her head that made the two of them freeze instantly.

The reason was simple: Bai Yi's approach caused An Mi's lips to brush against Bai Yi's cheek as she turned her head. Whether it was Bai Yi's cheek feeling An Mi's soft lips or An Mi's lips feeling Bai Yi's resolute cheek, even with a thin veil in between, the sensation was exceptionally real, so real that both of them froze, their minds going blank for a moment.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward. An Mi snapped out of her daze, realized what was happening, and quickly took a step back, creating distance between them. However, her face instantly burned with embarrassment...

Bai Yi's deep eyes also darkened slightly. That last moment had taken him by surprise, but when he came to his senses, he found it unforgettable. Ah! Today, she had ignored him all day, and he felt particularly depressed and disappointed. But unexpectedly, fate had not let him down in the end.

Although it was an unintentional touch, it was a precious kiss to him. Immediately, Bai Yi was in a great mood. Seeing that An Mi's face was flushed even though the veil was not covering it, he had a bit of pride between his brows.

He wondered if he should strike while the iron was hot, but then he remembered something and immediately suppressed the thought. He really couldn't rush things with An Mi. He had to be prepared to spend a lifetime slowly wearing her down!

If he really pushed her too far, the result would probably be something she couldn't accept!

Frowning slightly, Bai Yi suppressed his smugness, but quickly regained his composure, acting as if nothing had happened. He asked loudly, "What are you looking at for so long? Who was that person who was talking to you just now?"

Because of the unexpected incident, Anmi's heart was thrown into disarray, but Bai Yi's normal tone gradually helped her regain her composure. It was just an accident, what's there to think about?

Pushing aside her thoughts, Anmi recalled Liu Xu, who had just left. Her brow furrowed slightly. The way Liu Xu looked at Bai Yi revealed a hidden affection, but did Bai Yi... know her feelings?

“If a woman secretly loves you…” An Mi couldn’t help but speak, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized that Liu Xu’s current situation was probably one of inferiority in front of the dignified King of Bohai. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have watched from afar like that, nor would she have suppressed her admiration so much.

As Bai Yi listened to her words, a slight ripple stirred in his heart. She secretly liked him? Who was she referring to? Her?

This guess intensified Bai Yi's joy. He thought to himself, "An Mi probably doesn't really have no feelings for me. After all, I'm excellent in every way. Is she testing me by saying this?"

Thinking of this, Bai Yi raised his handsome eyebrows. "If that woman secretly likes me, I certainly won't let her down, will I?"

Bai Yi's gaze towards An Mi became increasingly focused. He didn't tell her that this woman was only the woman named An Mi. As for others... humph, he didn't care whether other women liked him or not! He only wanted An Mi, only this woman who made him willingly fall in love with her!

An Mi looked up and met Bai Yi's gaze. Her brows furrowed unconsciously, and a hint of displeasure rose in her heart. So, no matter who liked him, he would not let the beauty down?

Without trying to figure out the reason for the sudden displeasure in her heart, An Mi looked at Bai Yi for a long time, a cold smile appearing on her lips. That's right, he is the King of Bohai, he has the right to have three wives and four concubines, and naturally he also has the right not to let down any of the beauties!

She glanced away indifferently, not looking at Bai Yi again, and strode into the garden to greet the guests…

Bai Yi stood at a distance, his handsome eyebrows furrowed into a tight line as he watched An Mi's retreating figure. He pondered the coldness and sarcasm in An Mi's eyes before she turned and left, and something felt off to him.

What... what happened? Where did I go wrong? Why did your expression change so suddenly?

Even someone as shrewd as Bai Yi was struggling to think of something. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and his handsome face was filled with regret.
