Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Although it was Xiao Shi who said this, Jinyun did not say anything to stop him, nor did he correct him. He just smiled calmly.

Xiao Fu was silent for a moment, picked up the tea bowl in her hand, and forced a smile.

Seeing this, Anan looked at Xiaofu and asked, "Does Jinyun like anyone?"

Jinyun was silent for a moment, picked up the tea bowl in his hand, and smiled to himself.

Seeing this scene, Anan stood up and said with a smile, "You two can sit for a while. I just saw someone selling maltose outside. Jing'er likes it the most. I'll go buy some."

After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, he pushed open the door and walked out. Bai Shao followed closely behind him. After they came downstairs, he lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Girl, it's not a good idea for us to just leave like this and leave them alone, right?"

"This may be Xiaofu's last chance." Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, she has to try. Otherwise, Xiaofu will not feel at ease no matter who she marries.

Anan took Bai Shao to stroll around the roadside stalls, eating and shopping at the same time. In Jinyun's eyes upstairs, their every frown and smile were like the scorching sun in winter, beautiful and warm.

He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Fu saw all of this. She squeezed the tea bowl tightly in her hand until her knuckles turned white, then she slowly loosened her grip. Finally, she looked in the direction he was looking at and said with a smile, "Anan looks smart on the surface, but she is actually very stupid. There are some things that she can never think of, let alone understand."

He came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Fu very calmly, with a slight frown on his face.

"Her heart and eyes are full of Hongze." Xiao Fu lowered her head and smiled, "If you want to blame someone, you can only blame fate. After all, when you met her, she was already Hongze's wife."

Jinyun stared at Xiaofu's slightly childish face and chuckled, "I don't want her to know, I just want her to be safe."

This time, it was Xiao Fu's turn to frown. She didn't even notice that a sneer had appeared on her lips.

"Hongze is also my good brother who grew up with me. I am not as mean and narrow-minded as you think." Jinyun poured her a cup of tea and smiled, "Every word I say now is from the heart, and there is no falsehood."

When Xiao Fu heard this, she already understood his intention, so she made up her mind and whispered, "In this case, are you willing to marry her cousin? In this way, you can see her often and legitimately."

Banxia had been standing nearby. When she heard these words, she almost fell down. She held onto the back of her girl's chair and managed to hold on.

Jinyun looked at the little girl in front of him very seriously. They were cousins. They looked about the same, but their personalities were completely different. When she said this, she was resolute and stubborn, which made his heart twitch. Soon, he smiled again and said seriously, "This is not fair to you, Xiaofu."

"I don't care." Xiao Fu blurted out without any hesitation, "I just want to be by your side, not in your heart."

Jinyun sighed softly and smiled, "But I care."

Xiao Fu suddenly widened her eyes, her heartbeat became uncontrollable, and her breathing became rapid. She knew his feelings, but at this moment she still couldn't help but look forward to something. She stared at him and said with some difficulty: "What do you care about?"

Jinyun smiled, "You should be yourself and never be anyone's substitute."

"I said, I don't care!" Xiao Fu seemed a little irritable when she thought about what she was about to face, and she stood up suddenly and clapped her hands on the table, "Didn't you hear me?"

Jinyun shook his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Xiaofu, I can't marry you. In my opinion, you are also my sister."
