After a long silence, he seemed to be asking someone, or perhaps talking to himself, "Does anyone care?"

"Yes!" Hong Wu squatted down and held his hands tightly with both hands, her eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful eyes rippling with water waves, "Luo Fan, I care, I care!

"Even if no one in this world cares about you, you still have me. I will always be by your side until the world ends."

Shen Luofan looked at her, patted her hand with relief, and then pulled his hand away from her palm.

Hongwu lowered her eyes and looked at her empty palms. She moved the corners of her mouth, feeling sad.

Lu Xiuyuan, who witnessed all this, seemed to have a subtle expression. He stepped forward to pull Xia Younan up and said to Shen Luofan, "My wife is right. How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?

"Luo Fan, you have superb medical skills. As long as you want, there must be a way to slowly recover."

Shen Luofan did not respond. He paused for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, the income of the clinic has been good in the past six months. Let me show you the account book."

"I'll go back to Yizhai to get the account book." Hongwu said as she stood up.

Lu Xiuyuan stopped them and said indifferently: "No need, I trust you two, there is no need to reconcile the accounts. You two take care of yourself, the king and my wife will leave first, and we will come to see you when we have time."

"Yes, we look forward to seeing you off, Your Highness." The two men did not stay for long and nodded respectfully to see him off.

Lu Xiuyuan took Xia Younan's hand and left Jishidiang. Later, through Lu Xiuyuan's narration, Xia Younan learned about the life stories of Shen Luofan and Hong Wu.

The two were from Zhujing Country, and their families were wealthy merchants. Shen Luofan was the young master of that family, and Hongwu was Shen Luofan's childhood sweetheart, a little maid.

Five years ago, their family was hated by a business rival, who bribed bandits to massacre the entire Shen family, but fortunately the two managed to escape.

Later, he was hunted down by his enemies and was eventually forced into a desperate situation. Shen Luofan fell off a cliff and broke his leg.

Just when their enemies were about to take their lives, Lu Xiuyuan passed by and saved them.

Afterwards, he remained a good person to the end, avenged them, brought them back to Beijing, and gave them each a shop to look after and settle down.

The two of them were grateful and naturally became his confidants and were very loyal to him.

The two men were born into a family of merchants and had been influenced by their family since childhood, so they had extraordinary business skills. After taking over Yizhai and Jishitang, they quickly expanded the scale of the stores and the profits continued to roll in.

As for the relationship between the two, although they are master and servant, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Hong Wu likes Shen Luofan.

It seems that the falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is merciless.

After listening to his story, Xia Younan couldn't help but sigh: "It's really unpredictable, Mr. Shen is really miserable."

"Yeah." Lu Xiuyuan responded, and after pondering for a moment, he looked at Xia Younan and moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something but found it difficult to speak.

Xia Younan was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

Lu Xiuyuan held her hand tightly, hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Can you please not be so gentle to other men in the future?"

Xia Younan was stunned, and recalled what he had said to comfort Shen Luofan just now. He couldn't help but grin and looked at Lu Xiuyuan with ill intentions, "Your Highness, are you the legendary...jealous?"

"That's right!" Lu Xiuyuan admitted unexpectedly readily, with a little grievance on his face, "I'm more than just jealous. I'm almost dying of jealousy. I thought you were only gentle to me..."

Xia Younan was amused by him and chuckled, but she still coaxed him softly: "Okay, I just said a few more words because I saw that he was in a wheelchair at such a young age. Why are you jealous? Isn't it okay for me to not do that in the future?"

Lu Xiuyuan finally let go, turned his head and pecked her cheek quickly, and before she could yell, he pulled her away and said, "My dear wife, you are so good. Your husband will take you to eat something delicious."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't really coax her and took her to a snack street.

The street is wide and long, with no end in sight. All kinds of delicious snacks are lined up on both sides, one next to the other.

The streets are crowded with people, all holding a variety of food in their hands. The fragrant smell makes people salivate.

Xia Younan's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, and he swallowed his saliva with his mouth closed, just like a little wolf seeing its prey.

Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing, he let go of her hand, took out a card from his waist and handed it to her, saying: "Go ahead, little hungry wolf, take whatever you want to eat on this street.

"After you get your things, show this card to the stall owner and you can leave without paying."

Xia Younan took the card and found that it was a special piece of hard paper. There was no writing on it, only a special pattern.

Xia Younan didn't understand, so he held up the piece of paper and asked, "What is this? Why can I show this to the stall owner and not have to pay?"

Lu Xiuyuan replied: "It's a kind of secret code. There are many kinds of things here and the prices are not expensive. It's too troublesome to pay back and forth. So I asked Su Yu to tell them that they don't need to pay for any card with this pattern."

"Tell them?" Xia Younan was stunned, his head buzzing. He pointed to the prosperous street in front of him and asked in disbelief, "You don't have any business here, do you?"

Lu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not that there are some, but all of them."

"All..." Xia Younan was almost speechless.

"Well, not only these shops and stalls, this whole street is mine, even the land under our feet is mine."

"This..." Looking at the bustling street in front of him, Xia Younan was dumbfounded.

Wow, the whole street? It all belongs to Lu Xiuyuan? Is he kidding?

Seeing her stunned expression, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing and joked, "What's there to be surprised about? This is just the beginning."

"Only?" Xia Younan turned his head to look at him, "Besides Yizhai Jishiditang and this street in front of you, do you have any other business?"

Lu Xiuyuan did not hide anything from her and told her all his past one by one: "I have a total of 101 businesses in Lingjiang Country, including banks, jewelry stores, clothing stores, clinics, land and housing development, etc.

"There are thirty-six of them in the capital, and you're so surprised when we only see the third one."

Xia Younan was completely speechless, staring at him in a daze, with only two words in his mind: "Rich man!!"

Damn it, she really underestimated this fool. Before, when she looked at the account book of the palace, she thought that this young prince had no power, no influence, and no money. She never expected that he was actually a business tycoon.

The three companies she saw were all top-notch in scale, so there was no need to mention the others.

One hundred and first place! Tsk tsk…

Lu Xiuyuan hugged her slender waist and whispered in her ear: "My boss lady, just follow me obediently, and all my property will be yours."
