Was it her personal charm that won him over?
Song Ning nodded very confidently, "Yes, that must be it."
So now the question is, how can she refuse in a tactful way without hurting Xie Linzhou's pride?
Although she is a little hesitant now, she had said before that she wanted to find a husband so that their children would take her surname and carry on the family line for her parents.
Moreover, the way they are acting now is really a bit strange.
Xie Linzhou couldn't get up because of his back injury, so Song Ning sat next to him, looking down at him like a master looking at a pet.
This posture is absolutely unsuitable for confessing one's feelings.
But since Xie Linzhou had asked the question, it would seem impolite not to answer.
But how should she put it?
So Song Ning decided to change the subject.
"General, you must be tired. Go and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Before Xie Linzhou could speak, she fled the room as if she were escaping.
Xie Linzhou wasn't disappointed; instead, he laughed out loud.
In the following days, Song Ning wisely refrained from mentioning the matter, and Xie Linzhou also kept quiet, as if they had forgotten about it.
Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief, hoping only that Xie Linzhou's injuries would heal quickly so she could go home.
Song Ning stayed at the General's Mansion for more than half a month. By the time her restaurant opened, news came from outside.

She wasn't told what the specifics were, only that someone from her family had come and she should go home as soon as possible.
Song Ning knew Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan's personalities; they wouldn't write her such a letter unless it was something important.
Something really bad must have happened at home.
Song Ning couldn't stay any longer, so she told Xie Linzhou that she had to go home immediately.
Xie Linzhou immediately prepared horses and carriages, intending to personally escort her back.
Song Ning initially wanted to refuse, but then thought that going home was more important, so she didn't say anything more.
That day, the carriage departed from the General's Mansion and headed towards Tianxiang County.
