In a moment of desperation, Xi Xizhi threw herself into An Honghan's arms, pressing her two plump hands against his shoulders, and shamelessly leaning her face in, her soft lips pressing against his cheek.
Not forgetting the additional condition, Xi Xizhi's lips were squeezed and deformed, making a "pop" sound with its own effect.
When the child's chubby lips pressed down on him, An Honghan's heart fluttered for a moment. Then, he pressed down on Xi Xizhi's head with his large hand, forcing the child to maintain this position.
Even if she wanted to leave, she had no chance.
The child's lips were thick, and pressing them against his cheeks gave a strangely comfortable feeling, as if the distance between the two of them had been shortened by one point.
An Honghan liked this feeling very much. In his eyes, Xi Xizhi was Feng Yunshao, which was his property. Both of them should be the most important people to each other.
Xi Xizhi's face flushed crimson to the roots of her neck, a mixture of anger and embarrassment on her face. She covered her mouth, stammering as she glared fiercely at An Honghan, "Didn't you say you'd kiss me? Why won't you let go?!"
Xi Xizhi struggled and tried her best, but the large hand pressing down on her head remained unmoved.
Even now, Xi Xizhi could still feel that sensation, her lips and An Honghan's cheeks inextricably linked.
"Did I say that? I remember during the competition, I only said to give a deep kiss, the kind that makes a sound." An Honghan raised his eyebrows slightly, playing a word game with Xi Xizhi.
No matter how many delicacies there are in the world, in An Honghan's opinion, none of them can compare to the fun of a certain little mink.
Xi Xizhi was so angry she couldn't speak, her eyes glaring at him with a wronged expression. But no matter how she glared, it didn't intimidate him at all; instead, it carried a hint of coquettishness, making An Honghan's heart itch with desire.
It took two or three minutes before An Honghan finally released the child.
Xi Xizhi immediately shrank back to her seat, angrily keeping her distance from An Honghan.
"Do we still want to go to the money exchange?" An Honghan changed the subject.
Looking at the cartload of silver, Xi Xizhi finally felt a little better.
"Wu Jianfeng, drive the carriage to Weifu Money Exchange." An Honghan, holding the child tightly and unwilling to let go, shouted outside.
The sound immediately confused the two people outside. Wu Jianfeng turned to look at Lin En and whispered in bewilderment, "What's wrong with His Majesty? One minute he wants to go back to the palace, the next he wants to go to the bank..."
Lynn couldn't figure it out either, and only said, "We are servants, we only need to do as our masters tell us to do."
The reason Lin En was able to stay by An Honghan's side peacefully for several years was because he wasn't very curious and didn't speculate on An Honghan's thoughts like those ministers.
Who would willingly lay their thoughts bare before others? The thoughts of an emperor are the most unfathomable.
That's what Lynn did best.
"No wonder you were born a slave," Wu Jianfeng said disdainfully, raising his whip and slapping his horse's back.
The carriage sped up and headed quickly towards the money exchange.
With nothing to do, Xi Xizhi sat in the carriage counting the silver. Actually, she didn't want to count it; who wouldn't find it tiring to count such a mountain of silver? But she felt uneasy all over, especially when An Honghan was looking at her; her heart kept pounding wildly.
Now that Old Man Xu is gone, otherwise it would definitely have transformed into a little weasel and asked Old Man Xu to help check if there was something wrong with her health.
Seeing Xi Xizhi's nervous and carefree appearance, An Honghan's heart softened.
Weifu Money Exchange is the largest money exchange in the capital. Storing your silver here is absolutely reliable.
As soon as Xi Xizhi stepped inside, she saw the clerks in the money exchange busy at work.
A manager at the counter was calculating on an abacus. When he saw people arrive, he immediately revealed a shrewd smile. "Gentlemen, would you like to withdraw or deposit silver? You can't go wrong choosing our Weifu Money Exchange."
"We came here because of your bank's reputation. We want to exchange some silver for some banknotes." Xi Xizhi was shorter than the counter staff and had to look up to see the clerk.
Every money exchange charges a handling fee when exchanging banknotes. So, when someone wants to exchange banknotes, the money exchange will definitely welcome them with open arms.
The waiter, seeing the girl's extraordinary appearance, especially her clothes which were clearly made of the finest silk, smiled even more enthusiastically, "How much would you like to exchange, young lady?"
Xi Xizhi blinked in confusion, "I don't know exactly how much, but I have a cartload of silver."
"A whole truckload...?" The waiter's eyes widened in disbelief. "A whole truckload?"
How big of a deal is this?
The shop assistant quickly came out from behind the counter, looking at Xi Xizhi with a smile, "Where did you put your money, young lady? We'll definitely do this business."
The shopkeeper's words sounded more and more like those of a conman trying to swindle money from children. Xi Xizhi blinked in confusion; if this weren't truly the entrance to Weifu Money Exchange, she would have thought she had stumbled into a shady business.
"It's right outside the gate. Send someone to count it and see how many there are." Xi Xizhi pointed to the gate, where a carriage was parked.
The waiter quickly called for help, and when they lifted the carriage curtain, they found it filled with loose silver, worth at least several million taels...
Even though they had worked at the money exchange for so many years, this was the first time they had ever seen someone exchange so much silver.
The waiter stammered, "Miss, do you know how many taels of silver there are in total?"
An Honghan stood next to Xi Xizhi, his icy aura inspiring fear in those who saw him.
"That's why I'm having you count them. Hurry up, we have other things to do later." Xi Xizhi tried to put on a stern face, just like An Honghan, and said to the shop assistant.
The waiter dared not neglect these two wealthy patrons, so he nodded and bowed and immediately ordered someone to carry the silver inside.
