Master Zhu never expected that within a few days of getting engaged, Ning Ting would come to ask for an end to the engagement. He had made an agreement with Ning Zhenru to hold a marriage ceremony for the two juniors at the end of the year.

"Master Zhu, please forgive me for making this marriage difficult."

After learning that Ning Ting was coming, Zhu Qingxia, who was hiding behind the living room and eavesdropping quietly, froze for a moment. Master Zhu was full of anger, but he still suppressed his anger and told Ning Ting,

"The marriage was decided between me and your father. Even if it needs to be cancelled, your father must explain it. What's the matter with you?"

"My marriage can only be decided by myself. My father never asked me what I think. Master Zhu, you are more knowledgeable and vast than my father. I think you know better than me what a twisted melon is not sweet... "

"I don't want to disappoint Miss Zhu in the future, and you probably don't want to see her live an unhappy life either."

Master Zhu was furious, Zhu Qingxia burst into tears, neither she nor Master Zhu understood why Ning Ting made such a sudden decision, but Ning Ting did not explain in detail, he only said;

"I can't bear the responsibility of being the son-in-law of Mr. Zhu"

"Before, it was my father's idea. I never thought about marrying Miss Zhu."

Seeing that Ning Ting's attitude was very tough at this time, Zhu Hong knew that he could not force Ning Ting to change his mind, so he began to reason.

"Ning Ting, you are a junior I admire very much, and my daughter is also very satisfied with you. Our two families are already on good terms, and your marriage is really the icing on the cake."

"I saw that you were very harmonious when you got along with Qingxia..."

"If you marry Qingxia, you will have the support of the Zhu family in everything you do in the future. I heard that you have encountered a lot of obstacles when you went out these few times. You should understand that as long as you marry my daughter, those people will treat you It’s impossible to have such an attitude, you..."

"Master Zhu, I know what you mean. It is indeed a great thing to marry Miss Zhu, but I don't want to."

Zhu Qingxia, who was hiding, finally couldn't bear it any longer. She stood up and looked at Ning Ting with tears all over her face. She asked him;

"Master Ning, why? Is it something I did wrong?"

"Miss Zhu, no, you are very nice and attractive, it's my personal reason."

"But……"

Zhu Qingxia wanted to say more, but Ning Ting shook his head at her. He didn't say any more, and once again stated to Master Zhu that he would not marry Ms. Zhu, bent down, and bowed deeply to Master Zhu.

This time, from the date of the engagement to the cancellation of the engagement by the parties, it took only a few days.

For so many years, Zhu Hong has always been praised in Huizhou, and no one dared to say a word of rejection in front of him.Unexpectedly, Ning Ting, a kid, would be so bold that he would directly annul the engagement!

"I still need to discuss this matter with your father, you should go back first."

Ning Ting bowed and stood upright. He wanted to say something more, but at that time Master Zhu shook his hand at him, and Ning Ting left immediately with a sense of humor.

Before leaving, he saw Zhu Qingxia looking at him with tears all over his face.

But he just nodded apologetically and left.

This matter was originally a private matter between the two families, but for some reason, the entire Huizhou people knew that Miss Zhu was divorced by Ning Ting.

Many people speculated that Master Ning's serious illness later had something to do with this incident.

The day Ning Ting went to withdraw the engagement happened to be the day when Ning Yu disappeared after he had a quarrel with Ning Zhenru.

At that time Ning Ting was in a hurry to find Ning Yu, and he found out that the day Ning Zhenru went to be engaged to Zhu's family turned out to be the day Ning Yu disappeared.

After that, Ning Ting was busy with various things. Ning Zhenru went to Zhu Mansion once, and when he came back in disgrace, he told Ning Ting that he had apologized to Zhu Mansion. Since then, there has been no movement in Zhu Mansion.

It wasn't until Master Ning passed away that he saw Master Zhu again among those who came to express condolences.

Ning Ting very respectfully thanked Master Zhu for coming to see his father on his last journey, but when Master Zhu left at the end, he also gave him a meaningful look.

At that time, Ning Ting didn't know what this look meant.

After Ning Zhenru's death, besides Ning Yu, Ning Ting wanted to find something wrong with the inn business he chose to do. It also changed from full of customers at the beginning to empty, almost no one went, and the loss was huge.

It is very different from Ning Zhenru's business philosophy. Ning Zhenru only wants to run a silk shop alone, but Ning Ting has always suggested that they should also be involved in other businesses besides the silk shop, but Ning Zhenru has always disagreed. He believes that investing in other business is very risky.

The business of the inn has been declining since Ning Zhenru fell ill, but Ning Ting did not tell Ning Zhenru that he was the only one supporting him. Later, when Ning Zhenru died of illness, Ning Ting also sold the inn at a loss .

After months of hard searching, Ning Ting finally managed to find Ning Yu after receiving a letter from the Lord's Mansion of Feiyu City.

The search for someone in the Ning Mansion lasted for several months, and the missing person notices posted everywhere were suddenly removed, and the Ning Mansion was still decorated with lights and festivities. Everyone knew that this person had been found.

Zhu Qingxia, who had been closed at home for several months, also learned about this incident when she was drinking afternoon tea with a few close friends in her boudoir.

After Ning Ting came to Zhu's family to divorce, Zhu Qingxia was depressed for a long time. Later, she heard that the Ning family had undergone great changes. She wanted to go to the Ning family to meet Ning Ting, but Zhu Hong finally stopped her.

This time she heard from her sisters that Ning Ting's missing brother had been found. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to see Ning Yu.

Maybe it was because Ning Ting mentioned about this younger brother every time he was alone with her, or maybe it was because she had been hearing from her sisters and father about Ning Ting's crazy actions in order to find this younger brother in recent months.

Or maybe, she always sensed something different from Ning Ting's expression when talking about Ning Yu, so she was very curious.

Zhu Qingxia went out for the first time in these months and came to Ningfu.

She knew that Ning Ting was not here at this time, so she came here to visit.

After waiting for a long time, Zhu Qingxia finally saw the late Ning Yu. This young man was wearing a snow-white cloak and a jade belt inlaid with the same color on his forehead. He was thin and wearing a long white gown. Because of his young age, his delicate face is indistinguishable from male and female, but there is still a heroic look between his brows.When Ning Yu saw the unfamiliar Zhu Qingxia, he smiled politely at her.

Zhu Qingxia is wearing a light pink apron and a white fan-pleated long skirt today, she looks beautiful with a little makeup.Seeing Ning Yu walk in, Zhu Qingxia stood up and gave him a slight salute.

The two sat down, Ning Yu took off his cloak, a servant served a cup of tea for Ning Yu, and a new cup for Zhu Qingxia.

At first, they didn't speak, Zhu Qingxia took a sip of tea before slowly speaking.

"Second Young Master Ning, I come from Zhu Mansion."

"Although you and I have never met, I have always known news about you."

"This time I heard that you have returned home, so I took the liberty to come to visit."

"My name is Zhu Qingxia."

Ning Yu was a bit confused, they had never met, why did this girl Zhu come to visit him?Ning Yu was full of doubts, but still greeted Zhu Qingxia with a smile;

"Hi, Miss Zhu, my name is Ning Yu."

"Second Young Master Ning may feel confused, but in fact, I came today to verify one thing."

"what's up?"

Zhu Qingxia didn't answer directly, but she began to talk about her encounter with Ning Ting and the days when Ning Ting was invited to Zhu Mansion.

Listening to Zhu Qingxia's words, Ning Yu suddenly remembered something. He had an impression of the Begonia Garden. His favorite flower was the Begonia, and Ning Ting would bring him back the most beautiful Begonia flower every year.

Ning Ting has always been very busy since studying and doing business with Ning Zhen Confucianism, but he always finds time to spend time with Ning Yu, and often accompany him to eat snacks on the street or go to the countryside to draw pictures.

"Young Master Ning is an upright person and has great artistic talent. I remember one time when he came to Zhu Mansion, I was drawing a picture, and he pointed out the shortcomings for me."

Ning Yu thought, it seems like my brother never said anything bad about his paintings, he only praised him.

"Young Master Ning often mentions you, Second Young Master, to me."

"He said that Mr. Ning is very good at making cakes, and he is also afraid of thunder. When there was thunder when you were a child, you would run to him and dare not sleep alone."

"Ah... why did my brother even tell you this, really..."

Ning Yu blushed a little, Miss Zhu Shuli also smiled when talking about Ning Yu's childhood fun, Ning Yu was shy and embarrassed.

"Speaking of which, Second Young Master Ning, we almost became uncles and sisters-in-law."

The two were talking happily, and when the atmosphere became very good, Zhu Qingxia suddenly threw out such a sentence.

Ning Yu stared at him blankly, uncle?She and her brother...

Zhu Qingxia continued on her own. She said that Ning Zhenru went to their Zhufu to propose a marriage, and that Master Ning had expectations for this marriage. Master Ning thinks this marriage is really a match made in heaven.

"But my brother never told me..."

"It's because the Second Young Master Ning disappeared suddenly, how could the First Young Master Ning think about the love of his children, he..."

"He even came to withdraw."

While talking, Zhu Qingxia choked up, and a stream of crystal clear tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Ning Yu was surprised, he didn't expect so many things to happen during his absence, he was shocked by his father's arrangement for his elder brother's life, and also shocked by his elder brother's divorce.

Speaking of Ning Yu's disappearance, Ms. Zhu said a few more words about Ning Ting's sale of the shop and the announcement of missing persons, which made Ning Yu stunned.

After a while, he came back to his senses;

"Miss Zhu, what do you want to say when you tell me this?"

Ning Yu is not stupid, he and Zhu Qingxia have never met, but she told him, what did she want to do during the time when he disappeared because of him?

"Second Young Master Ning, please don't get me wrong, I'm here today just to meet you."

"see me?"

"Yes, see you."

Meet the younger brother whom Ning Ting held in his palm and tried to get back at any cost.

The two were silent for a while,

"By the way, Second Young Master Ning, I've been talking about it for so long. This is the Yunpian Cake I brought you. I heard that Young Master Ning said that you like this kind of cake very much. I asked someone to buy it."

Ning Yu, who was still frowning and thinking alone, heard Zhu Qingxia open his mouth to break the embarrassment, and mentioned Yunpian Cake, and looked over in an instant.

Zhu Qingxia saw Ning Yu with shining eyes, smiled slightly, and pushed the delicate oiled paper bag at hand forward.

"Thank you, Miss Zhu, but... I have nothing to repay you, why don't you stay and have a meal."

"My brother will be back soon."

"Then Qingxia would be more obedient than respectful."
