Chapter 413 Meeting Someone Privately
An Qing was stunned for a moment.
Fu Zhaoning reacted immediately.
Ding Ran must have been paying attention to An Qing's affairs in the past. He also heard about the incident involving Young Marquis Yi that caused a sensation in the capital.
Moreover, Ding Ran should also know what happened and what the result was, and know the role she played and what she did in this matter.
"Mr. Ding, you are too polite. An Qing and I hit it off right away. She calls me sister now, so there is no need to be polite."
After Fu Zhaoning finished speaking, he looked at Ding Ran with a hint of sarcasm. Ding Ran's face turned slightly red, and he looked a little embarrassed.
He always wanted to thank Fu Zhaoning.
But now after Fu Zhaoning said this, Ding Ran felt that his thoughts were seen clearly and he felt a little embarrassed.
Fu Zhaoning didn't want Ding Ran to treat An Qing as his property before their relationship was completely confirmed, so this was also a reminder.
Of course, it would be a good thing if he didn't think too much about it.
"Sit down and talk."
Seeing Ding Ran still standing, she pressed her hand slightly.
Ding Ran then sat down.
Fu Zhaoning sighed secretly. She was really kind and had tried her best to reduce her presence.
An Qing gently tugged at her sleeve under the table.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Zhaoning, I, I don't know what to say."
But she felt so embarrassed that she couldn't calm down.
"Be open and look straight ahead and ask what you want to know most," said Fu Zhaoning.
An Qing picked up the teacup and said, "Let me think about it."
But she didn't have time to think about it, because Ding Ran had already walked over with a plate of snacks and placed it on their table.
"Princess, Miss An, this is the tofu crisps my mother made. I brought it from home. You can try it first."
Having said that, he stepped back.
On the plate with a white background and a picture of a plum blossom was a bite-sized golden crisp, which looked crispy and delicious.
Although Mrs. Ding didn't come, she still prepared some things carefully.
"Thank you, Mrs. Ding. Do you often cook at home?" Fu Zhaoning asked as he picked up a piece, put it under his nose and sniffed it before putting it into his mouth.
An Qing had some psychological trauma about eating out, but fortunately Fu Zhaoning was there, so if she ate, An Qing would eat too.
Ding Ran looked at her and saw that her eyes suddenly lit up after she bit the tofu. Her expression suddenly seemed to be radiant, and he couldn't help but smile.
"You said Miss An would like to eat this. Now it seems to be true." Aunt Ding whispered to Ding Ran.
"My mother likes to cook and often prepares for herself," he said to Fu Zhaoning.
"Can Qingqing cook?" Fu Zhaoning asked An Qing.
Ding Ran quickly said, "Miss An, you don't have to cook. My mother mainly likes to cook. We actually have a cook at home."
Aunt Ding was also afraid that An Qing would misunderstand, so she hurried to help explain. "Yes, my sister-in-law is gentle and kind, and she doesn't need her daughter-in-law to set rules in front of her. Ding Ran has also been a kind and polite child since childhood."
Fu Zhaoning smiled.
An Qing whispered, "Actually, I'm a pretty good cook, but I don't cook often. I just make some snacks and candies during the New Year, and I cook noodles for my parents and brother on their birthdays."
"Miss An is filial and kind-hearted, and must be very skillful. But my eldest brother and his wife both said that if Ding Ran gets married, they hope that the couple will love each other, accompany each other, live a good life, and be happy. That's all."
"I want to ask," An Qing also mustered up the courage at this time and looked at Ding Ran, "How many concubines will you take in the future? Do you have a maid now?"
This is what she really wanted to know.
My brother said that I could just ask anything I wanted to know.
This is what she wants to know most now.
Ding Ran looked at her. "I don't take concubines, and my father only married my mother. My father always said that if our family is simpler, our life will be easier. We are happy as a family, and there is no need to bring more people home and cause more trouble. I have always thought so."
"I don't have a maid. My mother arranged a marriage for me before, but she called it off for some reason."
Aunt Ding looked at them and said, "Ding Ran doesn't like to say bad things about others, so let me do it. In fact, we can find out the truth by asking around. Our family found out that the girl has a rather aggressive temper and she fights and scolds her sister-in-law at home. Later, when they were discussing the marriage, their family said that they hoped Ding Ran would move out after marriage and not live with her parents. My eldest brother and his wife wanted to accept it, but when they heard that the girl wanted to live with her mother, they didn't agree."
"Because the girl's mother was a second wife, she had a bad relationship with the original wife's children after she got married. I didn't know all this clearly when I was talking about the marriage. I only looked at the other party's father, brother and sister-in-law and thought they were good. Later I found out that the girl was not like that, so the marriage was not agreed and was called off."
Just as An Qing was about to speak, a sharp voice came from outside.
"Ding Ran! Are you in there? Come out!"
Ding Ran's expression changed.
Aunt Ding was stunned at first, then she thought of something and her expression changed.
Before they could react, someone rushed in, bringing with him a strong fragrance that was a bit choking.
An Qing immediately let out a "huff" and his nose felt a little unbearable for a moment.
The people who rushed in were two young girls and a young man.
One of the girls was wearing a red dress and a red hairpin. She rushed in with great movement, and her hairpin swung violently, which dazzled their eyes a little.
The girl was pretty good looking, quite eye-catching, but she had a fierce look on her face and seemed a bit difficult to mess with.
Her appearance reminded Fu Zhaoning of another person, Li Zhiyao.
Although they look different, they give people a very similar feeling.
The other pair looked a bit like brother and sister, and they looked quite similar.
"Ding Ran, you are here!"
The girl in red looked at Ding Ran, and her eyes suddenly became angry.
"I heard that you came here to have a secret meeting with that little bitch, is that right? Is that why you insisted on breaking off the engagement with me?"
Ding Ran stood up suddenly and looked at An Qing nervously.
An Qing was staring at the girl in red in amazement.
"Ms. Ren, what are you talking about? The cancellation of the engagement was agreed upon by our two families, and it was you who proposed it in the first place." Ding Ran said.
"I was just saying that in anger!"
Second Aunt Ding was also angry and stood up. "Ms. Ren, you can't say that. When we were discussing the marriage, the Ding family had agreed to the conditions you mentioned. But then you listened to your mother and said that we agreed to such harsh conditions so easily. There must be something wrong. You said you wanted to cancel the engagement."
Is there such a thing?
Fu Zhaoning held An Qing's wrist and signaled her not to move for the time being.
Got to see what's going on with them.
An Qing's heart was pounding and he felt a little nervous.
"Take this opportunity to observe how Mr. Ding responds." Fu Zhaoning said to her softly.
