The next day, Sang Mansion.

"What! The young master is not coming today!"

Knowing that the young master was coming to visit today, Sang Ling was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night, thinking about which clothes and jewelry to match so that she could amaze him at first glance.

So she tossed and turned all night, and the next morning at the crack of dawn, she couldn't wait to get up and pick out clothes.

I dragged my mother around and tried on more than a dozen outfits before finally finding one that she liked.

After being carefully dressed and groomed for another two hours, Sang Ling finally stood contentedly in the garden of the mansion, thinking about how to leave a good impression on the young master.

But she waited and waited, watching the sun rise in the east and then gradually set in the west.

That tall and slender figure still hadn't appeared.

Just as Sang Ling was feeling anxious, she heard someone say that a guard from Prince Jing'an's side had come to deliver a message.

She rushed forward with great joy, but was truly struck dumb upon hearing the news.

"Ah, this... May I ask, young friend, is the young master preoccupied with some official business? Or is he dissatisfied with our Sang family...?"

Sang Chengfeng also went with Sang Ling, and he was also disappointed when he heard the news.

But given his status as the crown prince, he dared not express his dissatisfaction and could only cautiously inquire about the reason.

The guard bowed politely to him before explaining.

"Besides searching for someone, the young master also has some official business to attend to during his trip to Jiangnan. This matter involves state secrets, so please forgive him, Lord Sang."

So it was because of official business?

Sang Chengfeng's brows relaxed considerably, but he was still a little apprehensive because of the other party's decisive attitude yesterday.

He coughed lightly and gave the butler beside him a wink.

The steward understood and immediately stepped forward to give the guard a large wad of silver. The guard hurriedly waved his hand to refuse and then quickly began to explain.

"Lord Sang, there is no need to worry. My young master has no problem with you or Miss Sang. He is simply busy with official duties."

The Crown Prince said that he would definitely come to propose marriage with tokens of affection in two days at most, after he had finished his official duties. At that time, you only need to prepare the tokens from back then.

Upon hearing this, Sang Chengfeng's eyes lit up instantly, even though he had been feeling a bit awkward.

"Young friend, is this really true?"

The guard smiled. "The young master told me himself, so it can't be faked."

Sang Chengfeng, who had just been frowning, suddenly smiled.

"Very well, that's good then. Thank you for making the trip, young friend."

"It's just my duty. The message has been delivered, so I'll take my leave now."

Without waiting for Sang Chengfeng's reaction, the guard turned and left.

Sang Chengfeng knew the marriage was a done deal and was overjoyed. He wasn't annoyed by this and even waved his hand to warn him to be careful.

Turning his head, he saw Sang Ling with teary eyes in the distance and couldn't help but laugh.

"My dear daughter, why are you crying?"

Upon receiving the news that the Crown Prince was not coming, Sang Ling, feeling wronged, threw herself into Li Shi's arms and didn't hear what was said afterward.

Seeing her father still smiling at her, she cried even harder.

"Father, the young master must dislike me, that's why he doesn't want to see me, and yet you're still smiling!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The young master likes you very much. He even sent his personal guards to deliver a message saying that he will come to the Sang residence to propose marriage in two days."

Upon hearing this, Sang Ling, still with tears in her eyes, was instantly stunned; she couldn't believe it.

"Dad, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you!"

Sang Chengfeng explained what the guard had reported, and Sang Ling, who was heartbroken at first, couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing the story.

"Did the Crown Prince really say that?"

"Of course it's true! You underestimate yourself. If the young master didn't like you, why would he be in such a hurry to propose marriage?"

Li was also very surprised to hear this, but seeing her daughter's shy yet happy expression, she couldn't help but feel happy for her.

"That's right, your father is right. My Lingling is an exceptionally good girl, and a renowned talented woman in the entire Jiangnan region. How could the young master not like her?"

Recalling the man's cold back as he left yesterday, Sang Ling initially thought it was because she wasn't good enough that he disliked her, and she spent the whole night reflecting on it sadly.

Today I was filled with anxiety, but now that the marriage proposal has come out, all my previous speculations have been overturned.

Sang Ling couldn't help but smile, her heart bursting with joy at her parents' teasing.

A blush, like that of a young girl, appeared on Sang Ling's cheeks. "Oh dear, Mom and Dad! Please don't tease me!"

"This isn't a joke, it's the truth! Who wouldn't like my Lingling?"

"Yes, the young master is coming to propose marriage in a couple of days, and we can't lose face. Lingling, you and your mother should go to the city these next few days and see if there's any suitable jewelry or clothes to buy. When the young master is done with his business, we can take him to the city to stroll around and cultivate their relationship."

Prince Jing'an is of noble birth, and the Sang family must seize this opportunity and not leave a bad impression on him.

"Okay~"

The thought of becoming engaged to that handsome, ethereal man made Sang Ling blush even more, and a hint of allure appeared in her eyes.

If the prince is so eager to get engaged to her, then his sudden departure yesterday must have been because he was ashamed to face her, right?

How annoying! I never expected that someone who looks so aloof and distant on the surface would be so passionate and eager on the inside.

She understood his feelings for her and would definitely be a good wife to him from now on!
