The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

If it were an ordinary woman, being stared at so intently by such a noble and handsome man, she would probably be at a loss for what to do. But the woman in front of her was calm and composed. She knew this man's methods best. The brighter his smile was, the more dangerous it was. Once she was seduced by that smile, she might not even know how she died in the end.

How could someone as wise and serene as Anmi allow herself to get caught up in such a situation?

“People are already speculating that An Mi and the King of Bohai have a close relationship. The King of Bohai is standing so close to An Mi. If people see this, rumors will probably spread tomorrow that the second young lady of the An family will become the King of Bohai’s princess.” An Mi smiled and did not back down. Instead, she placed her hand on the man’s strong chest in front of her and tapped it lightly with her fingertips, her teasing intent was very strong.

We cannot use ordinary thinking when dealing with Bai Yi!

Sure enough, the bright smile on that beautiful face froze for a moment, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Was An Mi, like those other women, coveting the position of Princess Consort of Bohai? This thought suddenly made him displeased, and he lost interest in teasing her. He reached into her sleeve and gently tugged, pulling out an unfinished embroidery that fell into Bai Yi's hand. He then released his large hand from An Mi's waist and distanced himself from her.

An Mi frowned slightly when she saw what he was holding, but the distance between her and Bai Yi made her breathe a sigh of relief, and a hint of triumph flashed in her eyes.

Men of his stature are most wary of women coveting their wives' positions!

The perceptive Bai Yi caught the triumphant look in her eyes, and was slightly taken aback. He instantly realized that An Mi was doing this on purpose! She deliberately said those words to disgust him and lose his interest, so that she could naturally break free from his control.

Ah! How peaceful she is. Why does he always feel like he's underestimating her?

Everyone says that women who are too smart are not popular, but he actually enjoys dealing with smart women!

The displeasure that had just arisen in his heart vanished instantly. Bai Yi stroked the embroidery in his hand and said, "You still haven't answered my question. Don't you think it's a pity to give such a good work to someone else? You should have been the champion today and become the fiancée of the young master of the Liu family."

An Mi's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "The wife of the richest man's son, that's certainly an enviable status, something many people would want. But who knows that being the richest man's wife isn't so easy? I, An Mi, would never deign to be one!"

"What a disdainful attitude!" This answer made Bai Yi raise an eyebrow, and his gaze towards An Mi became even more focused. Disdain? Indeed, it was disdain. From their first meeting at the restaurant that day, he had already sensed An Mi's disdain for the position of the richest man's wife. Not only disdain, but she also seemed to harbor a strange hatred for the Liu family. Although she acted very calmly, as reserved as she was, the calmer she was, the more he could guess how intense the hatred hidden in her heart was.

Thinking about what had just happened, Bai Yi's deep eyes darkened further. From the moment she didn't hesitate to stain the white satin with blood, An Mi had been planning everything. She had feigned one thing while secretly doing another, and under everyone's watchful eyes, she had secretly embroidered another piece of embroidery. Then, she deliberately created confusion and cleverly switched the pieces. Even he had to admire An Mi's embroidery skills and meticulous thinking. And her purpose...

Bai Yi looked at An Mi thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Deliberately pushing An Xinhe to the Liu family, letting them get their hopes up for nothing. Once the Liu family finds out that An Xinhe isn't the person they're looking for, hehe, then there will be a good show to watch! An Mi, shall we discuss something?"

“Why don’t you tell me, King of Bohai?” An Mi blinked and said softly.

"Us? Discuss?" Hearing these two words from the mouth of the dignified King of Bohai surprised her. Almost subconsciously, An Mi became wary, but on the surface, everything remained as normal.

"You said we're already allies, what are you planning to do to the Liu family? Can you let me know?" Bai Yi was full of curiosity. He vaguely sensed that An Mi was going to deal with the Liu family. Ha, a weak woman actually wanted to deal with the richest man in Rongjin City. How could he not pay more attention to this?

Allies? An Mi smiled. She liked the word. After today, the King of Bohai must have some confidence in her!

However… An Mi’s bright smile was as innocent and harmless as Bai Yi’s smile just now. “Your Highness is so shrewd, An Mi will have no secrets from you. As for what An Mi wants to do to the Liu family, since we are already allies, why doesn’t Your Highness watch what An Mi does step by step? That would be more interesting. What do you think, Your Highness?”

Bai Yi frowned slightly, staring intently at An Mi. After a moment of silence, he suddenly burst into laughter, "I think you're more interesting!"

An Mi's body stiffened, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. Being stared at by Bai Yi gave her that tingling feeling on her scalp again. She tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "Your Highness is really joking."

Bai Yi saw her reaction and laughed even more enthusiastically, "A joke? It might not be a joke!"

After saying that, Bai Yi gave An Mi a meaningful look, then put the embroidery by An Xinhe that he had taken from An Mi into his pocket. He kept this item with him to guard against An Mi.

Bai Yi turned and strode away. As he turned, a slight smile played on his lips as he shook his head with a hint of self-mockery. The business world was treacherous, and he had always been wary of others, but he never bothered to be wary of women. Because now he could see through a woman's thoughts at a glance. But An Mi was different. An Mi was too reserved, too mysterious, and too shrewd and composed. He had to be careful!

After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered what An Mi had said to him in the restaurant earlier, and the smile on his lips deepened, "Uncle Ji..."

At a call, Uncle Ji, who had been waiting not far away, immediately stepped forward with the sleeping Liu'er in his arms. "What are your orders, Master?"

Bai Yi took Liu'er in his arms and looked at her innocent sleeping face. But what came to mind was An Mi's figure. His deep voice floated out, "Immediately send a message back to the capital and tell Shao Shang to cancel the cooperation with Yao Family Tea Garden."

"Master, this..." Even the usually composed Uncle Ji was astonished and his mouth dropped open. How could Master make such a decision?

"Get it done immediately. As for the penalty for breach of contract... pay it to the Yao family as stipulated in the contract!" Bai Yi's tone was resolute; once a decision was made, there was no room for argument.

This was the information An Mi had brought him. At this moment, he really wanted to take a gamble. He wanted to see if An Mi could bring him an even bigger surprise!

Yao Family Tea Garden is a highly sought-after business, with many vying to cooperate with it. Even Master Liu of Rong Jincheng had previously sought opportunities in the capital. If Your Highness cancels the cooperation with Yao Family Tea Garden, you might be giving the opportunity to other businesses!
