Chapter 445: Chapter 447 Love Me Alone Forever_1

"It would be very hard for me to love someone else in my next life, or even the life after that," Nan Feng said, feeling a warm sensation spreading in her chest.

"Then love only me forever," Ye Ge hugged her tighter.

"You are the best, best, best man I’ve ever met!" Nan Feng said.

"And you are the most, most charming woman..." Ye Ge stopped midway and turned to press down on Nan Feng, a hint of mischief dancing in his handsome eyes. "I’ve heard that once we cross a certain line, you can no longer be called a girl, but a woman. My woman."

"I don’t care, because no matter what, I’m still me, and you’re still you," Nan Feng wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue playfully, then continued, "But... you really can’t press upon me any longer, I’m tired."

Ye Ge pinched her nose and then rolled off of her, using his long arm to pull her into his embrace.

"Fengfeng, will you do something for me?" Ye Ge’s voice was still gentle, but his expression was noticeably more serious.

"Yes, what is it?" Nan Feng asked.

Ye Ge pondered for a moment before he spoke, "I didn’t want to bother you with this, but it seems that it would be easier for you. I want you to infiltrate the business association in Wan Jin County and get a list of timber merchants for me."

"A list?" Nan Feng was surprised. "Wouldn’t it be easy for you to get it since you’re able to infiltrate the home of County Magistrate Zhang?"

"But the list I’m looking for is of merchants who have withdrawn from the association."

"Withdrawn?"

"Yes, those who withdrew within the last three years."

"It might be challenging given the length of time as I would have to go through the records one by one. However, I can try to find it. What are you going to use this list for? Solving a case?" Nan Feng was curious.

"Yes, there’s a case for which I need this list. I need to find clues from these people who have withdrawn," Ye Ge said as he caressed Nan Feng’s face, showing patience. He then added, "Fengfeng, you’re so smart and quick-witted. I’m sure you can find it."

Feeling elated with the praise, Nan Feng affectionately pecked Ye Ge’s cheek.

But a hint of doubt lingered in her heart.

Is it really just about solving a case?

Is it a case related to the Yamen, or is it Ye Ge’s own case?

...

Nan Feng accompanied Ye Ge until he embarked at the docks before begrudgingly returning to her branch store.

By then, it was already afternoon, and Xue Ling was frantically busy in the store. Seeing Nan Feng come back, she couldn’t help but say, "Girl, go upstairs and bring down a box of facial masks for me. We’ve run out."

Nan Feng helplessly clutched her waist, "I’m too exhausted. Why don’t you fetch it? I can manage the selling in the meantime."

Xue Ling glared at Nan Feng and grumbled while climbing the stairs, "A woman backed by a man is something else. You’ve been backed so much that your waist is sore."

Nan Feng cheerily replied, "You wouldn’t understand."

Just look at her arrogant little face.

But then Xue Ling realized something. Yeah, if her heart was tied to Dragon Three, would she understand?

Never mind, just let her stay arrogant for now.

...

At dinner, Xue Ling saw Nan Feng daydreaming and kicked her under the table, "Hey, what are you thinking about? The food’s getting cold!"

"I was thinking about hiring help," Nan Feng replied, picking up a piece of sweet and sour ribs and placing it in her bowl. As she ate, she spoke to Xue Ling, "With the branch store now getting on track and County Magistrate Zhang no longer daring to bother us, there shouldn’t be any major issues in the future. So, I’m considering hiring someone to run the store for me. But it’s hard to find trustworthy people these days. Imagine, if I hire a stranger and they run off with my stock and money after half a month, what would I do?"

The ancient times lacked nationwide ID tracking. If someone ran off with your stuff, it would be hard luck.

Xue Ling looked up at Nan Feng, "Are you going back to Ping County that soon?"
