The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 652 Rejected

Silence fell.

Not only was everyone present silent, but even the surrounding flowers, plants and trees seemed to be frozen in time, everything was still.

"I know what I said is a bit sudden..."

"Since you know it's sudden, then don't say anything."

After a moment, Zeng Chongqi finally mustered up the courage to speak again, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Meng Shisan with an expressionless face.

Zeng Chongqi's heart skipped a beat, his face turned pale in an instant, and he almost couldn't hold the Embroidered Spring Knife in his hand.

Cousin Meng clearly rejected him.

His head was buzzing until he left the shed and walked aimlessly, not noticing when he met anyone.

Ding Lan'an had just entered the manor and arrived at the Saffron Lake. He was about to walk towards the lake to take a closer look, but he didn't expect that Zeng Chongqi, who was walking towards him, not only ignored his greeting, but also walked straight towards him and bumped into him.

"Hey?" Ding Lan'an looked very confused.

The golden crow was overhead, and the light golden sunlight shone on Zeng Chongqi. The bright sunlight formed a sharp contrast with the paleness on his face.

He didn't hear anyone calling him, nor did he feel like he bumped into anyone. His head was filled with noises that he couldn't tell what they were. He also felt cold all over, without any sense of the warm sun shining on him.

Ding Lan'an turned around and caught up with Zeng Chongqi who was already several steps away. He reached out and grabbed Zeng Chongqi: "Gu Xiu? What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, he finally realized that something was wrong with his friend's rough nerves.

After getting no response, Ding Lan'an turned to look at Xiang Lin: "What happened to your young master?"

Xiang Lin wanted to say something but didn't dare to, so he just shook his head.

Ding Lan'an and Zeng Chongqi have known each other for quite some time and they know each other quite well. Whenever there is something going on, whether Zeng Chongqi asks Dachui or he asks Xiang Lin, as long as they cannot answer the question, both of them know that the matter they are asking is definitely not a trivial matter.

If it is not a small matter, then it is a big matter.

Looking back at Zeng Chongqi's miserable appearance, Ding Lan'an asked Zeng Chongqi again: "Xiang Lin dare not say, it seems that something big has happened. Let me guess first, the things that can make you look like this in the past are nothing more than official business, or being scolded by your grandfather or father. Is it the same reason today?"

Zeng Chongqi had been forcibly held by Ding Lan'an for a while and had come back to his senses to some extent. When Ding Lan'an's words entered his ears, he subconsciously shook his head.

Ding Lan'an heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this: "It's good that you can still shake your head. If it's not the case, then what's the reason? Come and tell me. I will definitely help if I can, and I will definitely find a way to help if I can't."

Xiang Lin spoke up at this time: "Mr. Ding, you can't help my son."

"Oh?" Ding Lan'an still didn't believe it, "Tell me about it!"

Xiang Lin glanced at his own son. Seeing that Zeng Chongqi did not stop him from speaking, he mustered up his courage and approached Ding Lan'an and whispered, "My son confessed his love to my cousin, and she rejected him."

"Gu Xiu actually confessed his love to your cousin? How did he do it?" Ding Lan'an asked.

Before Xiang Lin answered, he glanced at Zeng Chongqi again. Seeing that his master still did not stop him, he plucked up the courage to say, "The young master said he wanted to marry my cousin."

"Want to marry my cousin..." Ding Lan'an's mind finally came to its senses at this moment. He looked at his followers and said, "Da Chui, who is the cousin that Xiang Lin mentioned..."

Dachui had thought of it since he heard Xiang Lin mention the cousin, but his son hadn't reacted yet. He hesitated again and again, but still didn't interrupt. When asked this time, he answered truthfully: "It should be Miss Meng."

Ding Lan'an immediately looked back at Xiang Lin.

Xiang Lin nodded: "Yes." After Zeng Chongqi was stopped by Ding Lan'an and could no longer walk around, he just stood there without any emotion, his eyes fixed on the lake outside the water corridor, as if he were a man-made porcelain.

After Ding Lan'an heard clearly that the cousin Xiang Lin was talking about was Miss Meng, he realized that he and his good friend Xinyue's daughter were the same person, and he was completely stunned.

He thought back to the thoughts and emotions he had expressed to his friends before today.

...No wonder they say he can't marry Miss Meng, it turns out Gu Xiu wants to marry her himself!
Although Ding Lan'an was not rejected in person, his morale was boosted even though he thought that Meng Shisan's attitude towards him was not as good as his attitude towards Zeng Chongqi.

His chances are better when his friend is rejected.

It’s a good thing, absolutely a good thing!

Ding Lan'an just smiled foolishly when he felt an extremely cold gaze. He turned his head and happened to meet Zeng Chongqi's pair of cold eyes: "...Look, look at me, what am I doing?"

Dachui: Sir, don't feel guilty.

"Are you very happy?" Zeng Chongqi's tone was flat, without any emotion mixed in.

Dante Lan'an knew that if he just nodded, Zeng Chongqi would draw his sword and fight him on the spot, so for the sake of his friend's recent injury, he shook his head against his true thoughts and said, "No!"

His denial was very forceful.

Zeng Chongqi didn't believe it, "Don't be too happy too soon. Yaoyao rejected me, so you can't succeed."

"What do you mean by success or failure? Such harsh words..."

"You have no hope!"

It sounds unpleasant, right? Well, use another word, it means the same thing!
Ding Lan'an understood Zeng Chongqi's meaning completely. She was speechless, but her anger was rising. "Why? You were rejected by Miss Meng. You think I will be rejected too, right?"

"Is not it?"

"Why!"

Zeng Zhongqi raised his hand and slowly drew the embroidered spring knife at his waist: "Because Yaoyao is my cousin, I know her well."

"You know her, but that doesn't change the fact that she rejected you in public!" Ding Lan'an's temper was that most of the time he would rather fight than argue, but at this moment he didn't want to argue anymore.

Just quarreling was no longer enough to relieve the anger that Zeng Chongqi had provoked in him!

"Do you want to fight?" Zeng Chongqi narrowed his eyes.

Ding Lan'an showed no sign of weakness: "Who's afraid of who?"

The battle was about to break out. Xiang Lin and Da Chui held down Zeng Chongqi and Ding Lan'an's embroidered spring swords on both sides at the same time.

"No, sir. You have official business here today. Besides, your cousin over there can see you!" Xiang Lin dissuaded Zeng Chongqi.

Dachui also tried his best to dissuade Ding Lan'an: "Master, you heard that Miss Meng is here today too. She is watching not far from here. If Miss Meng sees you fighting with her cousin, she will have a worse impression of you. What should we do then?"

After all, Meng Shisan's reputation was useful. Xiang Lin and Da Chui took advantage of it and controlled the situation in an instant.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Zeng Chongqi and Ding Lan'an each snorted and turned their backs.
