Song Wanning thought to herself that Pei Xuanzhi had good eyesight, but she still managed to pull up the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile, and replied indifferently, "How could that be?"

When Pei Xuanzhi heard Song Wanning say this, he smiled brightly. He walked ahead of Song Wanning, then turned around and walked backwards, laughing, "I was wondering, which girl in the capital wouldn't be happy to go out with me? I'm afraid you're so happy now, aren't you? Such a handsome man is accompanying you to go shopping."

Song Wanning had always been accustomed to Pei Xuanzhi's shamelessness, but after hearing his self-righteous remarks, she still glanced at him resentfully, looked around and said with a smile, "Where are those girls who want you to accompany them to the streets? Why don't I see any of them?"

Pei Xuanzhi knew Song Wanning was teasing him when he heard her say this, but he didn't get angry. He waved his hand and said, "It's far away, but it's right before our eyes."

Song Wanning was almost amused by Pei Xuanzhi's words, and just followed him into the carriage prepared by the general's mansion.

Pei Xuanzhi lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling traffic in the capital, sighing, "The scene of the capital now is very different from when I was a child. Thinking about it now, it seems a bit incredible. When I was a child, this street had a lot of food and toys, but now they are all gone."

After hearing what Pei Xuanzhi said, Song Wanning casually asked, "Is this the change you expected?"

After hearing this, Pei Xuanzhi turned around and looked at Song Wanning. There was a rare hint of seriousness in his eyes. He smiled and said, "To be honest, this is a bit unexpected, but I'm still glad that the capital is still the same capital. That's enough."

After hearing this, Song Wanning just smiled and said teasingly, "You are quite nostalgic."

"I'm more nostalgic than you think." Pei Xuanzhi smiled, half-seriously saying, "When you were little, you cheated me out of so many fruits. I remember them all. I'm just waiting to get them back one by one, slowly."

Now that Pei Xuanzhi mentioned this matter, Song Wanning felt embarrassed. Song Wanning felt her face getting a little hot for some reason. Fortunately, the general's mansion was not far from the shopping street, and it would be time to get off the car soon.

Pei Xuanzhi got off the carriage first, but stood at the other end waiting for Song Wanning.

Song Wanning also got out of the car with the help of her maid Caique. The blush on her face had not yet faded, and she half-lowered her head for fear of being teased by Pei Xuanzhi.

Pei Xuanzhi looked at Song Wanning's face and laughed, "Why are you blushing? Are you feeling embarrassed because you remembered the stupid things you did as a child?"

Song Wanning turned her face away and made an excuse for herself, "The weather is too hot."

Pei Xuanzhi now exposed Song Wanning without hesitation, laughing, "I don't think it's hot either, isn't it just right? If you feel sorry for me, just tell me. When I ask you for the debt in the future, I'll ask you for less for your uncle's sake."

"I've already said it." As soon as she finished speaking, Song Wanning turned her face away in anger and walked forward, leaving Pei Xuanzhi behind.

Pei Xuanzhi had a smile on his face. He walked briskly and looked at the hurried Song Wanning and said, "Sister Wanning, there's something dirty on your head."

"Really?" Song Wanning raised her hand and touched her hair, then turned to look at Pei Xuanzhi again, "Are there any more? Did you remove it?"

"Let me help you." Pei Xuanzhi strode forward, and before Song Wanning could react, he reached out and gently tapped Song Wanning on the forehead.

Pei Xuanzhi bent down and laughed, "Do you believe everything I say?"

Song Wanning: "..."

Song Wanning's face flushed with anger. She glared at Pei Xuanzhi and turned around to walk away. Pei Xuanzhi was left behind, laughing so hard he couldn't breathe, clutching his stomach as he chased after her. "Sister Wanning, don't be angry. I was just joking with you. Wait for me."

"I can buy it myself!" Song Wanning stomped her feet in frustration, unwilling to associate with this scoundrel anymore.

"How can that be possible?"

The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, but their interaction was seen by Yin Yichen who was sitting in the teahouse behind them.

"Childhood sweethearts… two innocent children…" Yin Yichen closed his eyes slightly. A few days ago, Wei Fu had said that Song Wanning and Pei Xuanzhi were very close, but Yin Yichen was still unsure, thinking he was exaggerating. After all, Song Wanning had always been indifferent to everyone, so where had he ever seen her being affectionate with anyone outside? But now, he had seen it through to the fullest.

Song Wanning usually remained indifferent to him, seemingly unfazed by the weight of a mountain, only offering a few sarcastic remarks when angry. In front of him, Song Wanning always appeared calm and composed, as if she was certain of victory. Although she was a good partner, a partner chosen by Yin Yichen himself, now it seemed that she was not very approachable.

But Yin Yichen hadn't expected that in front of Pei Xuanzhi, Song Wanning would laugh, swear, and jeer. Those cute little girlish expressions had never, and would never, be revealed in front of him. She would never show him such a lively and moving expression.

Wei Fu looked at his master's extremely ugly expression and swallowed his saliva, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Yin Yichen held the cup in his hand, his face growing colder and colder as he said in a cold voice, "I was told that instead of working to make money for me, you're out wandering around."

Seeing this, Wei Fu hurriedly asked Yin Yichen's opinion in a low voice, "Sir, what should we do now? Should we ruin Miss Ning's marriage as well?"

"What do you mean by ruining a relationship?" Yin Yichen snorted coldly and said with a smile, "I, Yin, never do anything to ruin someone's relationship."

Wei Fu felt ashamed when he heard this. Yin Yichen's previous visit to the Shangshu Mansion was to ruin someone's marriage, but Wei Fu didn't dare to say this. He thought the Prime Minister was worried about not getting his money back, so he whispered, "I see Miss Ning hasn't forgotten about her business. I heard she's just waiting to see the tea farm and then get the tea from the tea merchant."

"Master, I have to admit that this current Mr. Pei is much better than the previous Mr. Zhao. I heard that the Pei family started out as imperial merchants, and I'm afraid they are extremely wealthy. If Miss Ning really marries him, she will enjoy endless wealth and glory in this life, and she will also be able to take your business to a higher level."

After hearing what Wei Fu said, Yin Yichen's expression turned even uglier. He slammed his palm on the table, stood up, and said coldly, "Do you think I'm short of those few taels of silver?"

After Yin Yichen finished speaking, he stormed out of the room.

Wei Fu stood there for a moment, scratching his head. "If it's not about making money, then why does she get angry when she sees Miss Ning not busy with business but looking at her husband?"
