The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Chapter 165 Sharing a Pillow on Our Wedding Day! (3)

With great anticipation, Bai Yi turned his head, ready to admire Anmi's beautiful sleeping face. However, when he saw that the spot where Anmi had been sleeping was now empty, the smile on his face froze completely.

Besides him and Liu'er, who else was there on the bed?

Bai Yi sat up abruptly and quickly glanced around the room, but couldn't see An Mi. He reached out and touched the spot where An Mi had slept. It was already cold. If the empty spot hadn't been so obvious, he might have thought last night was just a dream.

Bai Yi quickly got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Uncle Ji waiting outside. When he saw Bai Yi come out, Uncle Ji's expression turned a little ugly.

"Where is An Mi?" How could Bai Yi not know why Uncle Ji's expression was so grim? He still felt that he shouldn't have been so attentive to An Mi, and that he must have misunderstood something when he came out of this room!

A bitter smile appeared on his lips. He wished it were as Uncle Ji had misunderstood, but there was clearly still Liu'er in the room!

"Your Highness, the Second Miss has been gone for quite some time," Uncle Ji said expressionlessly, glancing at Bai Yi, his brow furrowing as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, "Your Highness..."

"Uncle Ji, don't say anything. I know what I'm doing." Bai Yi interrupted him, glancing back at Liu'er who was still sleeping soundly. "Take good care of Liu'er."

Having said that, he strode towards his room, but the image of An Mi floated into his mind. She had left so early today; her intention to escape was clear to someone as astute as him. However…

Thinking of something, Bai Yi's smile grew even brighter. Escape? He gave her space, but he wouldn't allow her to run too far!

With a slight frown, Bai Yi went into his room, changed his clothes, but his heart had already flown to An Mi's side...

Bai Yi, in high spirits, tidied everything up without any delay and went to the Grand Flame City in a hurry. However, he did not find An Mi there. Thinking of today's date, Bai Yi's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly realized that he had been thinking about An Mi and had forgotten about today's important matter.

Anmi is probably already at the weaving workshop by now!

Bai Yi didn't linger for a moment. After leaving the Flourishing Flame, he headed straight for the weaving workshop...

Feng Xianglan watched Bai Yi leave Bei Ying in such a hurry, her lips pursed tightly beneath her veil. Was Bai Yi so eager to see Miss Yan?

She had been in this blazing inferno for a while now. Every day she saw Bai Yi, but all she saw was Bai Yi's tenderness towards Miss Yan. She was jealous day and night, and several times she wanted to take the initiative to get close to Bai Yi, but she was afraid of letting Bai Yi see her.

Looking at her injured hand, Feng Xianglan bit her lip even harder. Back then, Bai Yi didn't take her seriously. Now that she was disfigured and her hand was injured, she was afraid he would despise her even more. However, she liked him so much that even after so long, her heart was still full of him. These days, she had the opportunity to look at Bai Yi, and her love for him grew stronger every day.

She even thought, how wonderful it would be if she were Miss Yan!

But she knew that Bai Yi hated her, and didn't even know that she was...

Thinking of the secret buried deep in her heart, Feng Xianglan took a deep breath. Back then, she had no choice... but now, she could only try her best to keep that secret, and the real her could only remain hidden from the light of day!

Feng Xianglan clenched her fists tightly; she was unwilling to accept it!

These days, jealousy has been making her extremely miserable. She doesn't know how much longer she can endure it, but one thing she is clear about is that she cannot bear to watch the man she loves fall for another woman!

Even if she can't have it, she doesn't want to see others get it!

The image of Miss Yan appeared in Feng Xianglan's mind, and her expression turned colder.

"What are you still standing there for? There are so many guests. Today is the opening day of the weaving workshop and the silk reeling workshop. We've sent some people over to help out. You should also help greet the guests!" Yan Mengli came out from inside. Now she is the female manager of Shengshi Lieyan. Even as the manager, she is not idle. Feng Xianglan, on the other hand, is very idle!

Feng Xianglan was slightly taken aback, then forced a smile and said pitifully, "Miss Mengli, I'm not feeling well. Could I ask for a day off?"

Yan Mengli frowned and glanced at Feng Xianglan's hand. "Go, go. You're such a nuisance. You're already injured, and you still insist on coming out. Even if you stay here, you won't be of any help. You're just taking up space. Miss Yan is truly compassionate to let you stay in Shengshi Lieyan."

Feng Xianglan tightened her clenched fist, ignored Yan Mengli, turned and left Shengshi Lieyan. Once outside, she looked in the direction Bai Yi had just left: the weaving workshop.

Today is the opening day of the weaving workshop and the silk reeling workshop!

Frowning slightly, Feng Xianglan walked in a certain direction without hesitation...

Rongjincheng was bustling with activity today. The news of the eldest son of the Liu family remarrying had already spread throughout Rongjincheng some time ago. After the previous incident where the eldest son of the Liu family married An Xinhe and then divorced her on the same day, everyone was watching the show with anticipation for this marriage.

On the morning of the 12th, the entire Liu family was bustling with activity. Madam Liu, Master Liu, and Liu Zhan were extremely careful about every detail of the marriage to Miss Mei. They were well aware of the outside world's attitude towards the eldest son of the Liu family remarrying, and this time, they were determined not to be ridiculed.

Madam Liu had anticipated all the possible mistakes and had prepared countermeasures. For this happy occasion of the Liu family, she sent out wedding invitations to many people, but she did not invite Miss Yan of Shengshi Lieyan. She also did not send an invitation to the King of Bohai this time, all to ensure that nothing went wrong.

For the Liu family, they cannot afford a second blow like the last one, especially since Mei Yingxue, whom they are marrying this time, is the eldest daughter of the Mei family in Jicheng. If anything goes wrong and the Mei family is unhappy, it will become an obstacle when the Liu family seeks support and help from the Mei family in the future.

In the main hall of the Liu residence, Madam Liu personally directed the servants. She glanced at the time and frowned slightly. "It's already this late. The guests should be arriving soon. Master, this time, we should personally greet them at the door to show our sincerity, shouldn't we?"

Liu Xuan's face darkened slightly, his brow furrowing, but he quickly relaxed. "Fine!"

He knew that the Liu family was no longer what it used to be. Even if they married Mei Yingxue and received the Mei family's strong support, the Liu family's recovery would be just around the corner. However, showing goodwill to the other guests would also be beneficial to the Liu family. So he had no choice but to swallow his pride and personally go to the door to greet them.
