Qiu Hua seemed a little absent-minded. Song Ning asked, "Young Master Qiu, is something the matter? If so, go ahead and don't worry about me."
Qiu Hua immediately smiled and adopted a gentle and polite demeanor: "It's alright, it's nothing serious."
"That's good."
The two sat by the window drinking tea. Song Ning glanced outside, then looked at Qiu Hua across the room, who was looking down at something.
Song Ning's expression suddenly turned serious: "Young Master Qiu, we've known each other for a while now, shouldn't we... talk about our engagement?"
Qiu Hua visibly stiffened, his smile faltering slightly: "Didn't Miss Song say last time..."
Song Ning immediately smiled sheepishly: "Young Master Qiu, I am, after all, a young lady, and it's not easy to say such things outright, but... I think you should understand."
After Song Ning finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly.
Qiu Hua glanced out the window every now and then, then gave a polite but not awkward smile: "Oh, Miss Song is right, she is right."
"Young Master Qiu should know the intentions of our two families. My mother is very satisfied with you, and Master Qiu and Madam Qiu have also treated me very well. So... what are your thoughts on me?"
Qiu Hua never expected that the person who had been indifferent to him before would be so proactive today.
As if he had thought of something, he immediately became frank: "Miss Song is a well-known intelligent girl in Tianxiang County, and I naturally admire her."
Song Ning smiled even more deeply and suddenly grabbed his hand: "If that's the case, then let's settle things as soon as possible."
Qiu Hua was baffled by Song Ning's actions and immediately said, "There's no rush. My mother said you're still young and we should wait until you're fifteen."
“I understand the reasoning, but Young Master Qiu is exceptionally talented. If we don’t settle things quickly, I’m afraid someone will snatch you away.”
Song Ning was disgusted by what she had just said, but she gritted her teeth and still maintained a deeply affectionate expression.
It's just acting, who's afraid of who?
Since the Qiu family wants to marry her as their daughter-in-law, she will give them the opportunity, but they must not regret it later.
"this......"
Song Ning lowered her head in disappointment: "Is Young Master Qiu unwilling?"
"...Not really...it's just..."
What is it? It's just that I don't like her.
He didn't like her, but he still pretended to be affectionate. When he saw that she was serious, he didn't want to pretend anymore.
Anyone who dares to scheme against her will be dealt with leniently by her; if she lets them off easy, she'll change her surname to Song.
"Could it be that Young Master Qiu already has someone he likes? If so, I will go and explain it to Madam Qiu right away."
After saying that, she got up to leave, but Qiu Hua quickly grabbed her wrist in a hurry: "Wait, it's not what you think."
Song Ning lowered her head and smiled, then looked as if she was about to cry: "Young Master Qiu, you don't need to be like this. If you really have someone you like, I naturally won't bother you."
"No, I... I don't have anyone I like."
"Really?" Song Ning looked at him with delight.
"real."
It has to be said that Qiu Hua is a true master of acting.
Even after she'd said all that, she remained so calm.
Next, Song Ning deliberately said some ambiguous things, raising her voice as if she were speaking specifically for others to hear.
When she came out of Laifu Restaurant, Qiu Hua saw her off. Mr. and Mrs. Qiu were in a good mood today and talked with her for a long time.
Finally, standing at the door, she repeatedly reminded Qiu Hua to take good care of her and send her home.
He smiled and said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Qiu, then came downstairs with Qiu Hua.
Just as she reached the corner of the stairs, someone came down from behind her. She didn't know how he walked; he just shoved her aside.
Fortunately, Qiu Hua was next to her and caught her, preventing her from falling.
Song Ning immediately became angry and grabbed the man: "Stop!"
"You think you can just hit someone and leave? Apologize!"
Song Ning spoke in an unfriendly tone, her eyes fixed on the person who had bumped into her.
A boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, fair-skinned, slender, and very handsome.
"You look presentable, yet you have such poor manners. How did your family raise you? You have no upbringing at all!"
Qiu Hua quickly pulled her back and gently advised, "Miss Song, since you didn't fall, you should just let it go."
"Why should we let it go! He bumped into me. If you hadn't been there, I would have fallen. He bumped into me and didn't even apologize before trying to walk away. Dream on!"
The boy looked defiant and had a fierce look in his eyes, but he was actually not intimidating at all.
Song Ning could easily take on two of these pretty boys by himself.
"Young Master Qiu, we're going to be married in the future. You can't help outsiders bully me, can you?"
Qiu Hua's expression immediately turned sour, and he quickly explained, "How could that be? There are still quite a few guests here. If things get out of hand, it might have a bad influence."
She finally spoke a sensible sentence, but this is Laifu Restaurant, which belongs to the Qiu family, not the Song family.
“I’m not the kind of person who’s unreasonable. Here’s what we’ll do: make him apologize to me. Otherwise, this isn’t over.”
Song Ning's reputation in Tianxiang County was almost universally known.
If one didn't have some skill and courage, how could one accomplish such a great thing?
Mr. and Mrs. Qiu upstairs had already heard the commotion, but they ignored it, wanting to see how Song Ning would handle it.
The couple didn't find Song Ning's domineering behavior out of line at all; on the contrary, they thought it was good that way, because it would help her keep her husband in check.
