As Song Wanning was thinking, Yin Yichen, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the carriage, had already opened his eyes. He seemed to treat the carriage as his own home, half leaning against the cushions and wearing a gorgeous suit, looking really ethereal.
Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and smiled faintly, "Wanning, you're out?"
Song Wanning was no longer surprised by Yin Yichen's reaction speed. She simply got into the carriage and said, "The Prime Minister's news is truly the fastest in the capital. I've only been away for two hours, and he already knows about it. He even came to my carriage at the General's Mansion so quickly."
"If you really want to know, you will definitely find out." Yin Yichen's smile did not fade. "I originally wanted to say something, but Wan Ning only comes out once every few days, and I have been waiting for her for a long time."
Seeing Yin Yichen, who was known for his sharp tongue, actually say such sweet words, Song Wanning couldn't help but feel a little amused. Thinking of this, she laughed out loud and said, "It seems that this is difficult for the Prime Minister."
The carriage was driving through the streets of the capital, and two people were sitting in the carriage. Yin Yichen was originally sitting on the cushion opposite Song Wanning, but as the carriage stopped and started, Yin Yichen actually moved from that end to Song Wanning's side.
Suddenly someone sat down next to her. Song Wanning felt a little uneasy. After a pause, she looked at Yin Yichen and asked, "What is the Prime Minister doing?"
Yin Yichen pulled at his sleeves, pretending to be blind. "I think the wind is too strong over there. It's really uncomfortable to sit here."
Seeing this, Song Wanning had no choice but to reply, "I'm not afraid of the wind. I'll go over and sit."
Song Wanning was about to stand up when Yin Yichen grabbed her hand. She only heard Yin Yichen whisper, "I'm afraid of the wind. Wanning, sit next to me and block the wind for me."
Song Wanning had always been accustomed to Yin Yichen's thick skin, so she didn't bother to argue with him. There was even some heat in the carriage, not even a breeze.
Unfortunately, seeing Song Wanning like this, Yin Yichen held her hand tightly and did not let go, instead interlocking their fingers. The two of them pressed tightly together, and the warm breath came directly through their clothes, which made Song Wanning feel a little shy.
Song Wanning remembered that at Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, Liu Yuyuan asked her if she was going out to have a private meeting with the Prime Minister. Now it seemed that it was indeed a private meeting.
Song Wanning blushed a little when she thought of this. She sighed and looked at Yin Yichen helplessly, "The Prime Minister must be not busy with official duties these days. He actually has time to accompany me to look at the goods."
"Not busy." Yin Yichen chuckled. "Nothing is better than seeing Wan Ning. Besides, isn't Wan Ning looking forward to my visit?"
When Song Wanning heard Yin Yichen say this, her face turned even redder. She glanced at Yin Yichen and retorted, "Who's looking forward to your coming?"
"The driver has been replaced. I guess you found someone else yourself so that the people in the General's Mansion wouldn't know your whereabouts and wouldn't go back to complain. Otherwise, why did you replace him?" Yin Yichen said softly with a smile in his eyes, "Am I wrong?"
Song Wanning lowered her head slightly and didn't look into Yin Yichen's eyes, but she didn't refute.
Her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked even more charming in the hot carriage, which made Yin Yichen feel itchy. "Ningning, just wait for me to set up the plan, and then I will bring the imperial decree to marry you."
After hearing what he said, Song Wanning was a little panicked. "Imperial edict?"
Yin Yichen has always been meticulous in his work, and he takes everything into consideration. "Now that the general doesn't want me to marry you, I can only use courtesy first and then force. Once everything is ready, you must marry me no matter what."
Song Wanning knew in her heart that Yin Yichen was a reliable person. If he said he could do it, he would definitely do it. Song Wanning only hummed softly, "Then I'll wait for you."
Yin Yichen now looked at Song Wanning's slightly lowered head, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. He also lowered his head. Just as he was about to touch Song Wanning's delicate lips, he heard Cai Que's voice coming from outside, "Miss, we're here."
Song Wanning came back to her senses in a daze and said "OK".
She turned and pushed Yin Yichen away, walking out of the carriage, but she didn't expect to see Yin Yichen's furious look.
Song Wanning felt a little amused, but she still suppressed her laughter and got out of the carriage.
Who would have thought that just as Song Wanning reached the ground, Yin Yichen came out from inside. Cai Que, who was standing next to Song Wanning, was stunned and asked in surprise, "Miss, what is this?"
Song Wanning hadn't expected Yin Yichen to come down so directly without any pretense. Unaware for a moment, she had let him take advantage of her situation. Holding her forehead, Song Wanning explained, "As an ally, the Prime Minister should also come and check on the business, so he took our carriage along."
Before the panic in Caique's eyes faded away, she saw Yin Yichen openly holding Song Wanning's hand.
Song Wanning tried to break free but failed, and hurriedly said to Yin Yichen, "Prime Minister, we are outside now. If others see us, will our reputations be ruined?"
Yin Yichen turned a deaf ear to Song Wanning's words and remained unmoved. "If that's the case, I will marry you openly."
Song Wanning had no choice now and had to bite the bullet and follow Yin Yichen forward. Fortunately, when they were about to enter the yard, Yin Yichen finally let go of his hand.
Song Wanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went to check the tea in the warehouse with several tea workers hired in the house.
The leading steward smiled brightly when he saw Song Wanning, "Boss, this piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing is truly a Feng Shui treasure land. Not to mention storing this tea for one or two years, even seven or eight years won't be a problem."
Song Wanning knew that the steward was just talking nonsense, but she still said softly, "In that case, please take more care of it, steward."
Song Wanning said this, and then she looked over the tea leaves in storage. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, Song Wanning gave a few more instructions on daily matters, and then she and Yin Yichen walked back together.
Song Wanning was about to get on the carriage when she looked at Yin Yichen and said, "Prime Minister, would you like to go back to the city with us?"
Yin Yichen didn't answer the question, but looked at Yin Yichen and said, "It's getting dark today. I know there's a mountain outside Beijing where you can watch the sunset beautifully. Wan Ning, would you like to go with me?"
Song Wanning glanced at the sky and said, "Prime Minister, at this time, by the time we arrive, the sun will probably have already set."
"If you don't want to take the carriage, take my horse." Yin Yichen said, pointing to a strong horse led by a servant not far away, and smiled softly, "This horse is called Luo Lun, and he is a very fast horse. Riding him, it will take about the same time to get to the general's mansion as taking the carriage."
"Let's go together, Wan Ning."
