On the main street, Lord Zhao looked around as if he were a local official secretly conducting an investigation.

Lanxi found her expression amusing: "My dear Dan, you came here to have fun, why do you look so serious? You scared that vendor just now."

Lord Zhao said helplessly, "Alas, there aren't many women around here, and I feel uneasy."

Lanxi said, "Sister, don't worry. Sihai Yixiu is the first, but it is by no means the only one. We will help those girls with ideas to realize their dreams."

Lord Zhao nodded: "Alright, by the way, I'd like to invest in your Four Seas Embroidery project. If you need money, just let me know."

Lanxi exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's wonderful! We're short of money right now. This shop is doing really well, but the storefront is a bit cramped and the location isn't ideal. We were thinking of opening another branch, but we were worried about the money. And here it is!"

Lord Zhao reached out and gently pinched her nose: "You, you always know how to try to get something out of me."

Mu Anxiang, who had been following behind, didn't say anything, just quietly followed. Unconsciously, his gaze was drawn to Lan Xi.

I had never noticed before, nor had I looked closely, but Lanxi truly possesses an exceptionally beautiful face. Even the most beautiful courtesan in Yichun Garden cannot compare to her in the slightest when it comes to her alluring demeanor.

He hadn't seen Lanxi smile so happily in a long time. Her pure eyes were like those of a child who had received candy, so eye-catching and so captivating.

Perhaps, before she married into the Great Qi, she always seemed like a child who never grew up, carefree and willful.

"Hey, Mu Anxiang, don't you have any sense? Here you go."

As she spoke, Lanxi, who was walking ahead, stuffed a bag she was carrying into Mu Anxiang's arms.

"Oh, okay."

The thing in his arms was already being held tightly, and Mu Anxiang belatedly responded.

There seemed to be some kind of snack stall not far ahead. She excitedly took Zhao Daren's arm and ran over. When she turned back to look at Mu Anxiang, she saw a smiling face. Her soft voice urged, "Hurry up, let's go."

Mu Anxiang was infected by Lan Xi's smile, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. He quickened his pace and took a few steps before realizing: When did I become so obedient?

Upon closer inspection, it appeared they were making some kind of pancake, which is considered a local specialty of Daqi.

Lanxi bought a serving, picked it up with chopsticks, and put it to Mu Anxiang's lips, saying, "I'll give you the first bite. Thank you for helping us carry things all day. I'm really happy."

Mu Anxiang never expected that Lanxi would give him the first bite of food she bought, and that she would feed him by hand.

He opened his mouth blankly, and the scalding hot pancake was stuffed into his mouth. His eyes were fixed on Lan Xi's bright, star-like eyes, and he swallowed it whole without tasting it.

Lanxi looked at him expectantly: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Mu Anxiang said blankly, "It's delicious."

Only after Lanxi turned around did he belatedly realize that his throat felt like it was burning.

"Hiss~"

When Lord Zhao heard the sound, he turned around and saw that the dignified prince was now covered with things on his hands, arms, and even neck, like a tree branch.

"Oh, Lanxi, quickly help the prince with those things."

Lanxi also realized what was happening: "Oh, okay."

She jogged back and took the two oil paper packages from Mu Anxiang's hands.

The woman's smooth fingertips gently brushed against Mu Anxiang's hand. Mu Anxiang was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had been electrocuted. This was a feeling he had never experienced before. To be honest, he had never felt this way when women were clinging to him. But now, Lan Xi had only touched the back of his hand with her fingertips, and he was about to lose control!
