"No?"
After hearing what Yin Yichen said, Song Wanning only raised her eyebrows in surprise and chuckled, "Sir, you and I are just allies. If I really want to get married, what can you do to me? Will you warn me and make me give up like before?"
Yin Yichen paused, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face. He turned around, coughed twice, and said, "Since you are my ally, you should make money for me and stop thinking about getting married every day."
Song Wanning leaned against the carriage, and her graceful voice drifted into Yin Yichen's ears, "Getting married won't stop me from making money. If I want to get married, no one can stop me."
Yin Yichen listened to Song Wanning's words and thought she was determined to marry Pei Xuanzhi. Now he couldn't remain calm any longer. He stared at Song Wanning's face and asked in a deep voice, "Are you really going to marry him? Do you like him?"
Seeing Yin Yichen's expression, Song Wanning slowly replied, "What does it matter whether you like it or not? People don't live in this world by liking to eat."
Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning's expression, and his tense nerves relaxed. He leisurely said his own conclusion, "You don't like him."
Song Wanning really didn't like her ally's extended hand, so she just said coldly, "What does it have to do with the Prime Minister whether I like him or not? I'm already seventeen, and my father and elder brother are worried about me. It really doesn't matter to me who I marry. If I don't marry him, I can't find anyone better. Does that mean the Prime Minister wants to marry me?"
After hearing what Song Wanning said, Yin Yichen blurted out, "So what if I marry you?"
This time it was Song Wanning's turn to be stunned for a moment. She sat up straighter, put away her sharpness, and said slowly, "My Lord, please stop joking."
Yin Yichen now holds a high position among the ministers, second only to the emperor and above all others. Although he has yet to marry, his marriage plans are closely watched by many. Not to mention his extraordinary appearance, his family background and talent are also first-rate. With a distinguished family background and a child of destiny, he is now worthy of marrying a princess.
"I'm not kidding, this is real." The prime minister, who was always straightforward, now had a suspicious blush on his face. He raised his hand and coughed twice, saying, "I don't want you to marry him, I will marry you."
Song Wanning's heart was in turmoil. She really didn't understand what Yin Yichen meant, but she still said to him, "The Prime Minister just told me not to marry someone I don't like. How come you are willing to marry someone you don't like now?"
Yin Yichen now looked at Song Wanning again and asked in a deep voice, "How do you know I don't like it?"
Yin Yichen looked serious and didn't seem to be lying.
Song Wanning was speechless. She still remembered her eldest brother Song Lan questioning her. She had sworn she didn't know Yin Yichen. Back then, she was certain Yin Yichen was only interested in her earning power. Their alliance was a significant helper for Song Wanning. Who could have imagined that something like this would happen now? If it got out, how would she explain it to Song Lan and Song Jing?
Song Wanning felt a headache, and after thinking for a while, she finally spoke out what was in her heart. She lowered her head and dared not look at the Prime Minister's face again, "Sir, our status is vastly different. As a remarried woman, I really don't dare to dream of the Prime Minister. Please find another beautiful woman."
Yin Yichen sneered and looked at Song Wanning, saying, "You said that because you're afraid of danger in the Prime Minister's Mansion and don't want to put yourself in danger. You sounded very high-sounding and found a perfect excuse for yourself."
Song Wanning had always known that Yin Yichen was a man who never gave face to others. Normally, Song Wanning could still retort a few words, but now she was even more unwilling to give in. "Prime Minister Yin, since you know my identity and the danger involved, and since you know I don't want to, just stay away from me so that I don't have to hide from you."
Seeing Yin Yichen remained silent, Song Wanning continued, "In that case, this alliance probably doesn't need to continue. Just wait for me to return and settle the accounts. I'll have someone send the banknotes, including the principal and interest, to the Prime Minister's residence. Your Excellency, take care of yourself."
As Song Wanning spoke, she moved towards the curtain of the carriage, as if she wanted to ask the coachman to stop and let Yin Yichen get off.
Yin Yichen couldn't let her get what she wanted, so he immediately pulled her arm and pulled her back. Who would have thought that Song Wanning would throw herself directly on Yin Yichen with such force, and kissed him firmly on the chin.
In order to get up, Song Wanning reached out for a fulcrum and subconsciously supported Yin Yichen's legs. When she reacted, she quickly let go. She raised her head and was about to speak, but she happened to see Yin Yichen's dark and deep eyes.
Song Wanning was stunned. She and Yin Yichen only knew each other because of business, but Yin Yichen kept saying that he liked her... How could he say he liked her after just a brief acquaintance?
Before Song Wanning could come to her senses, Yin Yichen had already held her face and leaned forward, kissing her delicate lips.
The kiss was very light, and the soft touch lasted only a moment before breaking apart. Yin Yichen turned and held Song Wanning in his arms, saying in a very low voice, "Since you kissed me, you must be responsible for me."
"You..." Song Wanning's face flushed red and she tried hard to push Yin Yichen away.
Song Wanning couldn't push him away, but Yin Yichen let go of Song Wanning himself and said lightly, "Wait for me to marry you."
After Yin Yichen finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, disappearing into the street without giving Song Wanning a chance to respond.
Song Wanning also lifted the curtain to take a look. Fortunately, Yin Yichen's movements were very quiet, and the driver in front didn't notice anything, which made Song Wanning feel relieved. However, Cai Que, who was sitting next to the driver, was shocked and widened her eyes. She pointed in the direction where Yin Yichen disappeared, and then pointed at Song Wanning, "Miss, this..."
Song Wanning now sat back in the carriage. Yin Yichen was so powerful that if she wanted to escape, it would be harder than climbing to the sky. Song Wanning sighed and lay down on the cushions of the carriage with a broken jar.
For some reason, when she closed her eyes, all that appeared in her mind was Yin Yichen's face.
When they arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, Song Wanning and Cai Que went to inspect the house. The house was located on a high ground, unlike the low-lying land next to it. Shengjing was hot and rainy at the moment, but the house here seemed dry.
Song Wanning immediately made the decision and looked at Caique and said, "Wait until I go back and draw a blueprint and modify this house according to the blueprint. From now on, all the tea we buy will be sent here for storage."
"I understand, girl." Cai Que responded and left the house with Song Wanning.
Cai Que looked at Song Wanning and whispered, "Miss, we are doing business in partnership with Prime Minister Yin. If the master and the second master knew about it, I'm afraid they would be angry. What should we do?"
Song Wanning felt a surge of despair. How could doing business be so simple these days?
