The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

An Mi frowned slightly. How could she not see through his provocation?

What exactly does this man want? She's just a lowly embroiderer; why would a great general like him, who is highly regarded by the Emperor and Empress, pay attention to her?

The only reason... Thinking of Bai Yi, and also the day Qing Lan was seen by this man when she went to see him, An Mi vaguely guessed what this man was thinking.

Having understood the other party's intentions, An Mi felt reassured and naturally had nothing to fear. She looked up and met Feng Yu's eyes. "General Feng isn't some ferocious demon or ghost, so what's there to be afraid of? Besides, this is the Empress's palace. Even if General Feng were a virtuous gentleman, or even if An Mi were facing a despicable villain, An Mi wouldn't be afraid. Who would dare to cause trouble in the Empress's palace? General Feng, don't you agree?"

Feng Yu's lips twitched, and his eyes, which were fixed on An Mi, suddenly twitched. What a sharp-tongued An Mi!

She shut him up with just one sentence. If he really did something to her, he would probably become the despicable person she described.

A despicable villain? Haha, the common people all say that the eldest son of the Feng family is handsome and wise, and the enemies all say that General Feng is bloodthirsty and cruel, killing without blinking an eye. But the only one who can be called a despicable villain is the one right in front of us.

"Haha..." Feng Yu suddenly burst into laughter. An Mi listened to his laughter, but her expression remained unchanged. When Feng Yu had finished laughing and stopped, his gaze towards An Mi became even more profound. "Miss An Mi is right. I am a gentleman, so you have nothing to fear."

An Mi frowned, but before Feng Yu could finish speaking, he took another step closer to her. "I wonder if Miss An Mi has ever heard the saying, 'A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman'?"

An Mi's smile froze. Her intuition told her that Feng Yu was up to no good. Sure enough, without waiting for An Mi's reply, Feng Yu said to himself, "This general has been searching for many years, but I never expected that I would find the person I want to spend my life with in the palace of our Great Jin Dynasty."

Find the person he'll spend his life with? Why is he telling her this? It was precisely because An Mi knew that Feng Yu wouldn't so easily talk about this with someone he'd only met a few times that she felt even more uneasy.

"Aren't you going to ask who that person is, Miss Anmi?" Feng Yu raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with a wicked aura.

Why would An Mi ask? An Mi smiled faintly and said loudly, "I am just a commoner, how dare I pry into General Feng's thoughts? Besides, I don't think my relationship with you is enough to know these things."

Feng Yu's eyes lit up. Was she going to run away? He'd waited for her here for so long; he wouldn't let her run away. Not asking? No, she'd just answer directly!

Feng Yu chuckled, "Since you've asked, then this general will naturally tell you..."

An Mi's lips twitched. She asked? When did she ask? This General Feng's ability to lie through his teeth is truly remarkable, so remarkable that she wished she could slap him across the face and take his life!

“That person is both far away and right before my eyes, Anmi. You are the one I have been searching for, the one I want to spend my life with. From the first moment I saw you, you seemed to be drawing my heart. Tell me, what should I do?” Feng Yu frowned, seemingly troubled and helpless. His voice was also full of seductive charm. If it were an ordinary person, they might have fallen for it.

For many women, these might be the most touching words of love spoken by this man. Feng Yu also believed that if he wanted to seduce a woman, he would be able to do so easily without any effort. However, the woman in front of him was An Mi, a woman who was extremely rational and who was already wary of him and regarded him as a snake.

An Mi just found it funny. This was probably the biggest joke she had ever heard. Did Feng Yu fall in love with her at first sight?

Haha, Feng Yu, she might have been doubting his intentions just now, but now she's certain that this man wants to seduce her!

What was his purpose in seducing her? Thinking of Bai Yi and Qing Lan, An Mi lowered her gaze, lowered her head, and remained silent, as if she had not heard Feng Yu's affectionate confession.

An Mi's reaction caused Feng Yu's expression to change, a dark look flashing across his eyes. What kind of reaction was this? Didn't she hear? No, she couldn't possibly have missed it. Was she deliberately ignoring it?

Hmph, he won't allow her to ignore him!

"Mi'er, tell me, what should this general do?" Feng Yu spoke again, his gaze fixed on An Mi. "If she were in my camp, I would definitely abduct her by force. But I am a gentleman. What do you think I should do?"

Feng Yu's acting skills impressed An Mi. She thought that if this man didn't become a general, he could consider becoming an actor. Otherwise, it would be a waste of his acting talent!

An Mi thought this to herself, but she didn't say it out loud. She could almost imagine how this man would react if she said it. He would probably want to cut her into a thousand pieces and skin her alive!

An Mi wouldn't do something as pointless as throwing an egg against a rock, but that doesn't mean she'd let Feng Yu do whatever he wanted to her.

“General Feng, I don’t believe I have such great charm that I could make you so infatuated. Perhaps you have misunderstood your feelings. If you had known me for a while longer, I believe you would hate me! This is the palace, so please don’t joke around.” An Mi spoke calmly, her voice still as still as water.

"I would never make a mistake, you can rest assured of that. I am a man of strong feelings, and once I've set my mind on you, I will not let go." Feng Yu narrowed his eyes and said firmly. This woman was still so calm and composed at this moment. If it were anyone else, since they did not want to be chosen by him, they should have been flustered or at least shown fear under his strong hints!

Hehe, it seems that the women who can catch the eye of both Bai Yi and Qing Lan are quite different!

However… thinking of something, the evil in Feng Yu’s eyes intensified. Since that’s the case, what’s wrong with him adding fuel to the fire?

"Tell me, shall I request the Emperor and Empress to grant us this marriage?"

As Feng Yu spoke, his handsome face became particularly serious, and the evil in his eyes disappeared. His tone truly seemed to be seeking An Mi's opinion.

An Mi was stunned, almost as if struck by lightning. She never expected Feng Yu to say such a thing. An Mi looked up and met Feng Yu's eyes. She knew that Feng Yu was looking for trouble with her and that he had ulterior motives, but she did not expect that he would offer such a big bargaining chip just to tease her.
