ere were ripples within them, like they were constantly whispering secrets.And then there's the resolute and straight nose bridge, possessing both the feminine charm and a hint of masculinity.The lips...Qin Jun was stunned for a moment, he looked down at the wrist she had grabbed, lost in thought.

Even through their clothes, he could feel the warmth of her hand, his heart... suddenly fluttered.

But An Xuetang quickly let him go, and didn't notice his emotional changes at all.

She was completely focused on the sounds outside, until the footsteps faded away and she let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Is anyone there" Qin Jun asked after coming back to his senses.

An Xuetang looked up at him and said, "Didn't you hear the footsteps"

He shook his head.

An Xuetang ignored him, walked out of the corner, and then said to Qin Junchen, "Thank you for telling me these things. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Wait a moment."

Seeing her about to leave, Qin Jun subconsciously called out to her.

An Xuetang tilted her head and looked at him, her tone flat. "Is there something else"

Qin Junchen didn't know what to say either, and now he showed a hint of embarrassment. An Xuetang couldn't stand such a man the most, and at this time, she spoke impatiently:

"If you haven't figured out what to say, then I'll go first. Come find me when you're ready."

An Xuetang still had something on her mind, and after speaking she was about to leave.

Qin Jun lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse, "Can we still be friends"

"......" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

An Xuetang paused her steps, glanced at him sideways, and a helpless look appeared in her eyes, "Make friends with me, are you not afraid that your mother will be uneasy even after death"

She really left after she finished speaking.

Qin Jun stared blankly at her departing figure, her words echoing endlessly in his mind.

Yes, when making friends with An Xuetang, isn't he afraid that his own mother will be restless in the afterlife

He almost forgot how much his mother disliked An Xuetang before her death. He almost forgot that his mother's death was largely due to An Xuetang's inaction when she needed help.

Well then, what about it

This woman seems to possess an inherent charm. He wants to stop himself from being attracted to her and wishes she wouldn't appear in his dreams, but unfortunately... he can't help it.

Qin Junchen was just a patient's family member to An Xuetang, she didn't take him seriously at all.

Right now, as she walked out of the narrow alley, she veered onto another one, looking to see if there was any chance of getting into the back courtyard of Canghai Merchant.

But when she went around, she found that people had surrounded the place. It seemed like they were from the Fourth Prince's men.

An Xue Tang was just thinking about how to go in and find Ding Hua to get the situation when Ding Yi appeared.

Ding Yi had seen An Xue Tang's disguise before, and An Xue Tang had taught them how to recognize her after she disguised herself. So this time, Ding Yi recognized An Xue Tang at a glance. He pulled An Xue Tang aside and spoke anxiously, "Miss, you really came."

An Xuetang frowned, "Ding Yi, what's the situation now Where's Ding Hua"

Ding Yi frowned, "Miss, something big has happened. Big Brother Ding told me to wait here for you; he guessed you would come."

"Tell me first, are the people in the bank still safe"

If the people inside were in danger, An Xuetang would definitely rush in to save them right now; there wouldn't be time to think.

"They're alright now." Ding Yi shook his head. "But after that, who knows"

An Xue Tang frowned, "What's going on Is the person inside really the Fourth Prince, Mo Yun Ze"

Ding Yi was shocked, "Miss, how did you know That person's identity hasn't been exposed."

Really!

An Xuetang pursed her lips, her thoughts becoming deeper. "Someone told me that the Fourth Prince came looking for Ah Jing That he knows this trading company belongs to Ah Jing"

"No, no, no." Ding Yi quickly explained, "The Fourth Prince didn't know this was our Prince's property. He suddenly appeared here and we don't know if he came here after hearing rumors about the Prince. But now, he has his eyes on our trading business."

"Interested in our shop" An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly. "He wants to use the shop for his own purposes"

"That's right!" Ding Yi said indignantly, "This Fourth Prince has big ambitions. He wants our trading company to become a royal merchant, making him money!"

"So what does he want to do now Just force Ding Hua to hand over the entire Hai Cang Trading Company But don't we have branches of Hai Cang Trading Company in other cities too Does he want it all"

"Our other branches in other cities he should not have gone to yet. The Cang Hai Merchant House operates discreetly, and they usually wouldn't notice us, but this time for some reason, he has set his sights on us."

If they were ordinary merchants, Cang Hai Trading Company would have dealt with them long ago, teaching them not to covet what they shouldn't.

But this time the opponent was the Fourth Prince, which was no ordinary person!

As the Fourth Prince, he is a genuine member of the royal family, a descendant of the dragon and phoenix. His noble status allows him to decide the lives and deaths of commoners with a single word, often casually. Therefore, they have to be wary of him.

At least, before informing the Fifth Prince of this matter, they must not act rashly.

An Xuetang stood there, lost in thought for a moment. Her hands clenched slightly. "How should I talk to Ding Hua now"

"Brother Ding said he couldn't make the decision on this matter, and if he really wanted to talk, he could only wait for the people behind him."

An Xuetang's pretty and moving face had not a trace of expression, "Right, did he reveal his identity himself"

As the son of a dragon and phoenix, this fourth prince was born into royalty. From birth, he stood at the pinnacle of this era. If he revealed his identity himself, would he be attempting to bully others with his power

Ding Yi shook his head. "No, we don't know who he is on the surface. Anyone working at a trading house can recognize the portraits of the royal princes, so when he appeared, we knew it was the Fourth Prince. But we have to pretend not to know his true identity publicly."

"That's easy then, I'll take care of this. You go back to the manor now and make sure Ziling stays inside. Don't let him out for anything."

If the Four Princes and his people encountered Mo Junyi, it would be troublesome.

Ding Yi also knew this, so he clasped his hands and said, "Yes," then hurried off.

An Xue Tang then lowered her head to look at her attire, then turned and left.

In a little while, she appeared at a clothing store and bought herself a men's suit.

Fortunately, she had her own handmade cosmetics with her. After buying the clothes, she found an inn, opened a room and went inside to change and put on makeup.

An elegant young gentleman was born after a quarter of an hour.

An Xuetang looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in men's attire. Her makeup was very skillfully applied to resemble a male.

She nodded in satisfaction, then smoothed her clothes and went straight out the door to Canghai Merchant Company.

The entrance of Canghai Merchant Firm was still crowded with people. An Xuetang held a fan in her hand, leisurely strolling through the crowd, and people naturally made way for her as she walked straight inside.

All eyes were on her, everyone wondering who the man was and why he dared to enter at this moment.

Four fierce-looking men guarded the entrance of Cang Hai Trading Company. They wouldn't let anyone in, aiming to prevent customers from entering.

Seeing An Xue Tang walk over, they subconsciously shouted, "Stay back, you trespassers!"That person acted alone and managed to enter the palace. He not only found your chamber with accuracy but also knew when you would be alone. Such a person must have been watching you for some time.”Mo...
