“Maybe next time. I have to go back and pack up. I’m going on a long journey tomorrow.” After Zhou Huaiming finished speaking, he politely nodded, turned around, and hurriedly left.
When Heir An saw this, he looked at Mingyu. “Look. He’s not interested in you. You should give up.”
Mingyu looked at Zhou Huaiming’s back and chased after him.
She had finally met someone she liked. How could she give up so easily?
“Hey, wait…” Seeing this, Heir An was shocked and quickly reached out to grab her.
However, Mingyu ran too fast, and he grabbed onto nothing.
In order to give them time to talk and not to arouse suspicion, he could only walk over slowly.
On the other end, just as Zhou Huaiming was about to board the carriage, he was stopped by Mingyu. “Do you have someone you like?”
Zhou Huaiming looked at her reckless actions and was stunned for a moment. He smiled and avoided her hand. “What? The princess wants to matchmake me too?”
“I guess so. What do you think of me?” After Mingyu finished asking, although her face was red, she still stared at him.
“Ahem.” Zhou Huaiming coughed dryly. “Princess, you’re not inferior to a man; you’re a heroine through and through. However, I am much older than you. It is not suitable.”
“Do you think I’m old?”
“No, no, I…” Before he could finish, Mingyu spoke again, “You’re not young anymore. If you want to find someone of the same age, you can only find a widow.
“I think you’re quite suitable. Give me a reply as soon as possible.”
“Ahem, my sister has always been straightforward since she was young.
Brother Zhou, please don’t take offense.” Heir An added and ushered Mingyu into a restaurant.
Zhou Huaiming was flustered and helpless at Mingyu’s words, and he also felt a little excited for some reason.
When he turned around and entered the carriage, he saw his attendant snickering at the side. He huffed, “Drive properly. Don’t let anyone know about what happened today. Otherwise, don’t blame me for selling you.”
“General, don’t worry. I won’t say anything.
“However, General is indeed not young anymore. You should really consider marriage. Otherwise, the butler will have to worry about refusing your marriage.”
“Why don’t I give you that job?”
“Don’t, I won’t say anymore.” The attendant immediately untied the reins. After he got in the carriage, he started driving back.
Zhou Huaiming sat in the carriage, his mind elsewhere.
Firstly, he had never had someone confess to him so openly before, so he was pleasantly surprised.
Another reason was that he was not sure what his feelings for Mingyu were.
In his impression, Mingyu was someone lively, daring to say and do things. She was always in a hurry and had a carefree personality.
She had always protected those she liked and never hesitated to speak out against those who did not get along with her.
To be honest, he liked her personality. At least when he was with her, he did not have to keep guessing and live so tiredly constantly.
However, that was all. He knew nothing else.
Or rather, he had never thought that the two of them would be husband and wife one day.
For a moment, he really couldn’t make up his mind.
After returning to the residence, he thought about it for a night and felt that Mingyu was someone he could get along with.
But thinking of the retired Emperor, he still replied with an ambiguous letter.
After receiving the letter, Heir An was delighted.
Zhou Huaiming had thought about it all night and did not reject it. This meant that there was still a chance.
When he returned home, he told Mingyu about this. “You can take a look at the portraits Mother sent you. If there is someone suitable, you don’t have to wait for him..”
