Quick Wear: The Short-lived Female Supporting Character Does Not Want to Be a Heartthrob

Ling Hao served himself a bowl of soup as well, "Yes, it contains the unique kudzu root from your place."

"Besides, the method of making soup is the same as yours." After taking a few sips, Ling Hao nodded and frowned a little: "The taste is indeed unique. This is the first time I have eaten it like this in my life."

Seeing the other party frowning, obviously not accepting it for a moment, Wan Ning smiled: "You are not from the south, so naturally you don't understand the way we eat there."

It turned out that this dish was invented by Ling Hao when he went to the Su family and heard from Mrs. Su that Su Wanning particularly liked this stew with a strong medicinal flavor when she was a child.

He kept it in mind, so before this meal he specifically asked the restaurant to prepare this soup.

Ling Hao also smiled and shook his head: "Indeed, but after drinking it, I think the taste is not bad."

There were mostly sweet and sour dishes on the table, with very few spicy dishes, just to cater to Wan Ning's appetite.

The two of them had a very pleasant meal. After the dishes were cleared away, Wan Ning rinsed his mouth and washed his hands. Fruits and herbal tea were then placed on the table.

With a full stomach, her mouth naturally became idle. Wan Ning looked at the handsome man next to her and asked him curiously, "Mr. Ling, why did you ask my parents for marriage?"

Hearing Wan Ning's question, Ling Hao turned his head and cleared his throat: "To be honest, I admired the girl so much that I fell in love with her at first sight and I fell in love with her again."

"You know my identity?"

Ling Hao nodded: "Ling has not married yet, so of course I can ask for the girl's hand in marriage. And Miss Su is also unmarried, so of course we can talk about marriage."

Wan Ning looked at Ling Hao carefully. His smooth, fair face was cold and handsome with clear edges and corners, thick eyebrows, deep eyes, a straight nose, and a mouth that seemed to always be smiling.

Nodding, Wan Ning looked into his eyes again: "I will be the only husband in my future. I cannot have concubines, mistresses, or wives."

Understanding Wan Ning's meaning, Ling Hao immediately raised his hand and swore: "I promise that I will only love Miss Su from now on. If I break my promise, I will not have a happy ending."

"Besides, I still...have never been served by anyone."

At the end, Ling Hao's voice was still very low, and his face turned red after he finished speaking.

Wan Ning really heard it clearly, after all, there were only two of them in the room.

Wan Ning pretended to drink tea, but in fact he was grinning with the corners of his mouth curled up.

But she put down the cup and said calmly, "You are a marquis after all. Your status and position are there. Why don't you have anyone to serve you?"

"I'm telling the truth, Miss Su."

Ling Hao hurriedly explained to Wan Ning: "I used to only care about my studies. After passing the imperial examination, I was busy with official duties every day and had no time to care about these things. Later, I was promoted to the Academy of Scholars and often accompanied the emperor. The place I went to most was the imperial palace."

Hearing Ling Hao mention the palace, Wan Ning looked around: "Can I ask you a question?"

"My guards are guarding outside the door, Miss Su, you can talk freely."

"How about the imperial concubine in the palace?"

Because a few days after these palace concubines were driven to the Huguo Temple, Emperor Yu Zeyin announced to everyone that Zhang Mengyu was named a noble concubine.

Wan Ning wanted to know what the ministers in the court thought about this matter?

Thinking that Wan Ning was still thinking about the emperor in the palace, Ling Hao's tone lost its previous relaxed and cheerful tone: "That imperial concubine is really a strange person. Many of her views and opinions are very different from ours. Sometimes, the words she says afterwards make us think deeply and admire her."

Wan Ning didn't notice his unhappiness and continued to listen to him.

"Miss Su, you don't know that after I rescued you from the lake, I used her method to revive you."

"what way?"

Hearing Wan Ning's question, Ling Hao recalled his behavior that day and felt that something was wrong. He had offended Miss Su.

"That is, the method of transferring air from mouth to mouth."

"Ah," Wan Ning immediately touched his mouth, "Mouth to mouth?"

Did this person really do this? Zhang Mengyu, does this have such a big impact on others?

She was unconscious at the time and didn't know how she was rescued. However, if you really want to save a drowning person, the steps are the same.

Unexpectedly, Ling Hao on the opposite side saw Wan Ning's surprised look, and was afraid that she would think he was frivolous, so he quickly explained the method explained by the imperial concubine.

Afterwards, he solemnly stood up and bowed to Wan Ning to apologize.

Of course, Wan Ning would not be so stingy, and he also stood up to return the greeting: "Mr. Ling is also trying to save me, it's okay."

Seeing Wan Ning understood, Ling Hao felt relieved.

After the two of them sat back on the chairs, Ling Hao said, "That day, I met the girl, so I must be responsible for her. This is also the second reason why Ling wants to marry her."

After today's contact and chat, Wan Ning felt that Ling Hao was a pretty good person, and she was willing to give both parties a chance to get to know each other better.

While drinking tea, Ling Hao talked about his family situation.

It turned out that his family was conferred the title of Marquis in his grandfather's generation for his meritorious service, and the title was passed down to him. He was the only male in the Ling family, and he became famous in the imperial examination, so the old marquis asked for the title early on, and Ling Hao became the Marquis of Ning.

His parents are still alive, and he has two older sisters, but they got married early. It seems that the relationship between the people in his family is quite simple.

After dinner and some tea, Wan Ning was about to go back, and Ling Hao personally sent Wan Ning to the villa.

On the way back to the city, Wan Ning told Ling Hao that he wanted to buy the old minister's house.

Ling Hao nodded in agreement, telling Wan Ning not to worry, he would take care of the rest.

Two days later, the title deed of the house was delivered to Wan Ning, along with a carriage and a driver.

Now that he has his own house, and with two more people and a horse, Wan Ning feels a little embarrassed to continue living in the villa.

So she planned to take a closer look at the house, see what needed repairs, and clean it inside and out.

After saying something to Hao Lianxin, Wan Ning took a carriage to Yedu City.

After entering, Wan Ning just got off the carriage and saw a middle-aged man waiting at the door: "Miss Su, this is Zhang Yan."

Wan Ning nodded, "What is this?"

Zhang Yan immediately explained: "My Lord Marquis told me that you will come over in the next few days and asked me to wait here."

Wan Ning frowned. Could Ling Hao have guessed what she was thinking exactly?

Zhang Yan was heard saying, "I know a few people in the pawnbroker business. If you want to hire a few housekeepers, maids, etc., they can take over the cleaning of the house."

Judging from his dress and the way he spoke, Wan Ning guessed that he should be a manager or something like that.

This solved Wan Ning's worries. Wan Ning nodded and said, "Okay, then please let Manager Liu go in with me and we can talk in detail."
