Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Anan stood in the corridor, waiting for Bai Shao to shake off the snow on her body and take off her cloak. He rubbed his cold but sweaty hands and followed Jiu Ling into the inner room, feeling inexplicably uneasy and expectant.

I thought that even if we met again in this life, we would just smile at each other and tacitly pretend not to know each other.

But now I have to dress up and ask for something...

Suddenly I looked up and saw a man sitting at a low table with a jar of wine on it. The candlelight was dim, and it was like a dream.

He was hiding in the inner room and saw her coming in through the carved screen. Her little face was red from the cold, and her water-red clothes made her skin look even whiter and more delicate. The messy hair on her forehead did not look disheveled at all, but rather added a bit of charm. A strange surge of heat immediately surged in his heart and his hand trembled slightly.

Jiuling frowned and ordered Baishao to follow him out, and closed the door.

Anan stood there for a long time, and after thinking over and over again, he finally made up his mind. Then he slowly walked over to the low table and knelt down.

Until this moment, she didn't know how to speak. When she looked up, she saw a strange smile that was very frivolous.

Jin Liu has feminine appearance, and this smile of his has a kind of enchantment that bewitches everyone. However, his eyes are always on Anan, and his smile is both shallow and rude, and has ill intentions.

Anan shuddered and glanced around the house with his inky black eyes. The door to the inner room was locked, and there was no one else in the room except Jin Liu. He suddenly felt that the wind and snow outside had also entered the house and sprinkled in his heart, making him feel numb with cold.

"Are you Annan?" Jin Liu asked lazily, supporting himself with one hand.

Anan had a bad look on his face, didn't say anything, just stared at him.

"I originally thought that the wife the old man arranged for me would come from a newly rich family. Even if she was pretty, she was just a spendthrift and a pretentious woman. But today, after seeing her, I found that she is as beautiful as ice and jade, with a radiant look, just like a plum blossom blooming in the snow!" Jin Liu's hands were a little pale, but as slender and white as green onions, without any flaws. Even Anan felt inferior to him.

At this moment, he bent his index finger and tapped it on the table again and again, with a sly smile on his face: "Great, great! Since you're here today, you can stay and serve me!"

Anan smiled coldly at him: "I heard that Sixth Master always jokes and jokes but behaves properly. I never knew he is actually a scoundrel."

Jin Liu was stunned and asked blankly: "Do you know me?"

"When a newly rich family tries to make a living in the imperial city, they must be careful in every way, so as not to offend the nobles and end their livelihood." Anan's tone became increasingly cold. "It's just the usual business of relying on others for a living, it's not worth mentioning."

Jin Liu originally just wanted to be funny, but he never thought that Anan's thoughts were so clear and generous. She had already found out his identity before coming over, and she was not timid at all. She even retorted. He immediately realized that she might have known Yunyu's true identity! But that fool had been kept in the dark and was still distressed and entangled.

Thinking that the situation might get completely out of control in the next second, Jin Liu felt a little regretful and silently glanced at the room behind him.

This small movement was immediately caught by Anan. She looked back deeply, and all the excitement and heat in her heart completely cooled down, and her voice became cold: "I know that I am not virtuous and talented, my status is not prominent, and I have no old relationship to rely on. If Lord Hong does not want to show up to meet me, I have nothing to say."

After saying this, Jin Liu felt his mouth dry and he could only smile awkwardly: "Miss, you really misunderstood, Hongze is not..."
