Cheng An lowered his eyes and went to pick up the teacup, "Yes."
"But why did we hear..." Jiang Fei covered her lips and smiled, "We heard that Qi Tianyang took the military exam so that he could go to the Cheng family and propose marriage?"
Cheng An paused holding the tea, and finally looked a little uncomfortable.
Su Wantang took over the conversation, her voice soft, "It turns out that Lord Cheng heard that the young master of the Qi family was in love with Xiao An, so he spread the word that if you don't have any achievements, don't even think about pursuing his daughter."
Jiang Ling smiled and nodded, saying exaggeratedly: "After that, the young master of the Qi family stayed in the mansion for two whole days. When he went out again, he seemed like a completely different person."
"I don't go to music or the theater anymore, I don't watch the dancers anymore." Zhou Huanan took over the conversation leisurely, "I don't even keep flowers, birds, insects, or fish anymore. I've really changed my life."
Jiang Ling saw Cheng An's face was already half red, and teased her with a smile: "Yesterday it was even worse. She went straight to sign up for the martial arts exam, saying she was determined to get in the top three."
She uttered a long "ouch" and jokingly said, "I don't know which beauty this is for."
Several people laughed.
Cheng An's little face turned red from laughing.
She covered her face in shame and annoyance, muttering, "How can you be like this? You only know how to make fun of me."
Jiang Ling went over and pulled her hand, saying with a smile, "I don't know when he fell in love with you, and you didn't tell us anything."
Several people also agreed, saying that she really kept it a secret.
Cheng An twirled his handkerchief, the heat still lingering on his face. He pursed his lips and said, "I don't know what's going on, but... I've been running into him lately. He always comes to see me, gives me little trinkets, and his words aren't so annoying anymore."
"Oh, I'm still confused too."
She raised her eyes and said to them, "A few days ago, after my father returned home, he told my mother to stop interacting with him. I didn't know what was going on. When my mother told me, I realized that it was... it was..."
Talking about this, she still feels embarrassed.
Cheng An bit his lip. "It was he who told Uncle Qi that he wanted to come to my house to propose marriage. I don't know why Uncle Qi was so happy, but he went to drink with my father. He hinted at this in his words and deeds. My father noticed it and was very unhappy."
Qi Tianyang has been a person with no ambition over the years, so it's no wonder that her parents are unwilling.
"My father said that in order to make him give up without damaging the relationship between the two families."
The handkerchief in Cheng An's hand was already wrinkled. "Who knew he would actually sign up for the military exam?"
She quickly drank some tea and felt her face was very hot.
Jiang Ling smiled and handed her a round fan, with a teasing look in her eyes: "Xiao An'an's face is so red that blood can drip out."
Cheng An frowned in embarrassment, "Ling'er!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Jiang Ling playfully covered her mouth, which made Cheng An angry and embarrassed, and he turned around and ignored her.
Wu Wanying came over and asked her, "So what do you think? Are you willing?"
After all, no matter what it is, you have to ask her what she thinks.
Cheng An lowered his eyes, shook his head gently, and whispered, "I don't know either. I'm very confused."
Several people advised her not to make decisions rashly and to think carefully before doing so.
Jiang Ling stopped teasing her and pulled her aside, saying, "No matter what your parents say, you still have to decide for yourself."
Seeing her frown, she soothed her, "Don't worry. After all, the martial arts exam is still some time away. You can think about it slowly. Lifelong matters cannot be rushed."
Cheng An nodded and said she understood.
Several young sisters gathered together, chatting and laughing, having a great time, and did not disperse until the evening.
Cheng An sat in the carriage, his mind starting to wander again, he felt like his thoughts were in a tangled mess.
As he was lost in thought, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Are you home yet?" she asked.
The maidservant outside the carriage whispered to her, "Miss, Master Qi has stopped the carriage."
