Jun Hua looked at the busy Soujin on the side, "Did something happen with the talk about the trade?"

"They are going on longer term because they can't reach the word deal," Soujin answered. He knew that this time they have met with someone extremely capable in trading. With Yan's skill, he usually could seal a trade within hours or even minutes. This was the first time he saw his best friend talking for that long.

Jun Hua nodded her head and leaned back on the chair. Her figure was still extremely charming despite her belly have started to rise, showing the fact that there was a life inside her. She played with her finger as she thought about their meeting a few days before.

"Did they only come with three people aside from the servants?"

Soujin nodded his head. His grandfather had told him about them and everything that happened before he came back to this city. From what he heard, the three of them come with the little princess leading the small group.

Princess Xiao Meng can be categorized as one of the extremely beautiful women. With her pale white skin and petite figure, she can easily charm countless men. Of course, she cannot be compared with Jun Hua if they wanted to talk about the look. Still, Xiao Meng was taller than Jun Hua and her height made her look more mature compared with Jun Hua, who sometimes could be said as a child if she didn't properly conduct herself.

"They sure are confident," Jun Hua commented.

"They come for trading, so they must be confident that they are going to make the best deal and gained even more profit."

"She is similar with Yan."

"Too similar in my opinion," Soujin said, "Well, it made us be able to read her even easier. The one who was hard to understand is the other one."

Jun Hua nodded her head, "I know. Let me know when the trade finally over, I want to know how Yan deal with the matter."

"I heard that you already meet with Tang Xuan before, what do you know about that man?"

Sensing some traces of animosity from the man's tone, Jun Hua was rather surprised. She only met with Tang Xuan for a bit in the past because of her visit to the Yuan Kingdom. There was barely anything special happened that day.

"I met with him in Yuan Kingdom as Jun Min," Jun Hua answered. "He's quite an interesting young man. His conduct seems unpredictable and he has a deep mind. I must say that in terms of the scheme, he's pretty meticulous without any loopholes."

Even back then, she was unable to guess that she was stepping into the stage that he had prepared. His deduction about her action was spot on, allowing him to guess what she wanted to do after the incident very well. This also told her that this man was quite dangerous.

Nanglong Soujin frowned. "If he dares to do anything to you, you should report to me."

"Why would he want to do anything to me?" Jun Hua was rather speechless. "You're worrying too much. Let's just let Yan handle about the matter."

"Aside from thinking about them, how about accompanying me in my training?" Soujin offered when he noticed that Jun Hua didn't seem to be willing to talk about the matter any further. He won't allow her to train, but there was nothing wrong with her watch him training in the training hall.

Jun Hua nodded her head. In any case, she didn't have anything to do, and she felt rather bored of waiting for the matter of the trade to be finished. With her current condition, there was no way she could participate, so she needed to free her time and do other matter.

With Xia waiting for her on the side, she watched Soujin's training. His training was still as intense as before, but Jun Hua already got used with this degree. She was pretty sure that he would surely out of her range in term of martial arts.

On that evening, they received a few guests.

"Did you finally finish the deal?" Jun Hua looked towards the beaming Yan with curiosity. Since Yan already showed such an expression, he must have been successful in the trade.

Yan nodded his head proudly, "With my skill, there is no way any merchant won't bow down in front of me!"

Ming Hui put his hand on his face while secretly groaned. Why did Heaven give him such a brother? If only the one talking with them were not Jun Hua and Soujin, he would have the urge to drag Yan back to the palace to teach him manner and the way of talking.

Jun Hua smiled wryly. This emperor hadn't changed at all.

"So, what are the terms? You didn't back down just because she is a pretty girl, don't you?" Soujin asked with narrowed eyes. Yan's only weakness would be a pretty girl and he had to make sure that his best friend won't fall into a beauty trap.

"Of course not!" Yan said indignantly, "I won't fall to such a cheap trap!"

Ming Hui stared at his brother with an unbelieving gaze. Yan noticed Ming Hui's expression and his face paled when he remembered the incident years ago. If only the one who came near him was not his brother, but a real cunning woman, he would be doomed years ago. Because the one who came was only his brother, he ended up in the hospital for a month. In any case… he didn't have a good ending.

"At least, I won't fall to the same trick anymore," Yan coughed and corrected his words.

Soujin rolled his eyes, "What is the result?"

Yan quickly stopped his antics and told the other about the deal. Basically, they retained the right to the trade in this area and the number of their benefit increased by two fold compared to when the little princess had her deal with Yuan Kingdom Emperor. The numbers of goods they deliver also increase and the conversion rate increase.

"It doesn't sound half bad," Jun Hua commented.

Soujin nodded his head. As a merchant, Yan was indeed one of the best, and he knew how to maximize his benefit. On the other hand, he still needed to learn more about how to become a good leader if he wanted to get a good result.

"You talked about the trade for several days. Did you also finish your work?" Soujin suddenly asked.

Yan's face paled considerably when Soujin mentioned about work. He almost didn't touch any of them because of the trade all these times. Seeing the cold expression on the others' face, he knew that he needed to finish them all soon enough.

"Shu, since the emperor neglected his work, please make sure that he finishes the rest of them as fast as possible."

Shu acknowledged. "Understood."

Ming Hui watched his brother limp back with a tired expression, "He's truly a lazy emperor."

"It just meant his people had to work even harder," Jun Hua said bitterly.

"His people would mean us. I will return first, don't forget to have a lot of rest, Jun Hua," Ming Hui bade his farewell because he needed rest too. As for Jun Hua, she was dragged back to rest by Soujin, who wouldn't let her work at all.
