Five days after they left Wenzhou for the mercantile journey, the Eun Merchant Group’s party arrived in Xiangshan, Zhejiang Province without any issues. They decided to spend the night there.

After all, anyone could try to rob it while it was docked in the port. Baek Mu-Gun decided to take the lead on the third shift, staying in the accommodations the Eun Merchant Group prepared until it was time to rotate again.

On the other hand, Ye-Sang felt conscious of Mu-Gun as she ate. She was well aware of her own beauty, which was why she unilaterally broke up the marriage. Nevertheless, she thought Mu-Gun would at least be interested in her to some extent.

She didn’t intend to accept Mu-Gun’s attention. Well aware of his behavior...
