âIt was nothing, just a little chit-chat.â
âDid he say he wants to take you back to the Prince of Yuâs residence?â
âHe did, but I wonât go back.â
âNingning, do youâ¦like the Prince of Yu?â
âMaster Wenren, youâ¦â
âCall me Thirteen,â Wenren Zong said, âEven if you donât accept my marriage proposal, we can still be friends. No need to be too formal. Can I call you Ningning?â
âNo, you canât.â
âNingning, you didnât answer my question.â
Jiang Ning was somewhat speechless.
Why did the men here not know how to listen to others?
âMaster Thirteen, actually we are really not that familiar.â
âI know.â Wenren Zong glanced at her, âIf you donât like it, Iâll just call you Miss Jiang Seventh.â
âJust call me Jiang Seventh. Master, please stop following me.â Jiang Ning said, âLook at me, Iâm not suitable for marrying again. Youâre young and talented, with a bright future ahead of you. Donât waste your time on someone like me.â Wenren Zong did not speak.
They walked silently for a while, and ahead, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan went into a jewelry shop.
Wenren Zong stopped the wheelchair at the entrance of the jewelry shop: âSeventh Miss, would you like to go in and take a look?â
âI wonât go.â
âI thought girls like shiny jewelry.â
âI like it too, but itâs too noisy.â Jiang Ning propped up her cheek lazily and said, âI donât like to pick things when I go shopping. I prefer when others bring things to me.â
Wenren Zong laughed: âAh Qi, youâre very interesting.â
âJust so-so.â
âThe books you mentioned today were also interesting.â
âOh, thatâs Outlaws of the Marsh, which tells the story of a group of heroes forced to rebel. Itâs really interesting. If you like it, Iâll write it down for you when I have time. As for Pan Jinlianâs part, itâs just a small episode. It was just for fun, for everyone to have a laugh. Donât worry about it.â
âNo, I think you told it very well, lively and vivid.â
âThank you, Master, for the compliment.â Jiang Ning covered a yawn with her sleeve.
Wenren Zong was silent for a while, and said, âAh Qi, I feel that I like you a little.â
Jiang Ning looked at him.
âI really enjoy being with you, and everything you say is interesting. When I canât see you, I want to see you. Thatâs why I always follow you. Itâs not because I have nothing better to do.â
Wenren Zong spoke very seriously.
But for someone as solemn as him, saying such words seemed a bit out of place.
Jiang Ning laughed, âMaster, youâre just finding it fresh.â
âAh Qi, will you go back to the Prince of Yuâs residence?â
âOf course not.â
âThen marry me.â Wenren Zong looked at her seriously, âIâve thought about it, and being with you every day for decades to come would be very interesting.â
Jiang Ning said, âAsk me that question again. The one before.â
ââ¦Will you go back to the Prince of Yuâs residence?â
âYes.â
Wenren Zongâs expression was a little dumbfounded.
Jiang Ning burst out laughing.
Poking fun at a bookworm was still quite interesting.
At this point, Jiang Yan turned back and called out, âSeventh Sister, come here. Thereâs a pair of shoes that are really nice here, but they donât have our size. Come and try them on.â
Jiang Ning responded, excused herself to Wenren Zong, and pushed herself into the shop.
Wenren Zong watched her back, feeling somewhat lost.
Jiang Yan was holding an extremely exquisite embroidered shoe, adorned with gold thread patterns and inlaid with pink pearls that shimmered with iridescence, truly magnificent.
Jiang Ning really liked it, and reached out to take it, but it was snatched away by another hand.
It was Princess Lingâan.
She sneered, âDoes a cripple need shoes?â
