Chapter 450: Chapter 450 Do You Want to Stay Tonight (3)_1

"Mm." Mo Heng simply responded and did not speak.

Feng Wei glanced up at him, "Young Master..." Aren’t you angry? Just yesterday, you instructed me to keep an eye on her and not to let Pei Qin do anything improper that would bring shame upon you. Today, Pei Qin has agreed to Shen Songming’s marriage proposal.

"Mm." Mo Heng only responded and continued practicing his calligraphy.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Feng Wei hesitated, but since he originally did not think highly of Pei Qin, he said no more.

The next day, Pei Qin continued to pick corn.

Shen Songming followed along too.

It was simply too hot working inside the cornfield, and the corn leaves could even cut you. Pei Qin suggested that they chop down the corn and lay it on the ground before picking it. This way, they wouldn’t miss any, and although it was still very hot, at least they wouldn’t get cut.

Chen Gua and the others, seeing the noble air of Shen Songming, even dressed in a coarse cloth shirt and following along, with hands that clearly had never done manual labor, let Chen Gua accompany him.

But Shen Songming wanted to stick with Pei Qin. Disdainfully shooing Chen Gua away, he moved closer to Pei Qin.

After working all day, an exhausted Shen Songming could barely stand, "Thankfully, I’ve been working out these past two years, or I might have suffered heatstroke."

"It’s not even that hot, what heatstroke?" Pei Qin said as she tossed him a melon.

Shen Songming caught it with a snicker, "Let’s share this one!" He cut it in half, ate one half, and gave the other to Pei Qin.

Pei Qin bit into the melon, talking to him, "You should head back home now! These two issues have to be resolved first."

"I don’t want to leave! I’ve only been here a few days!" Shen Songming protested, as he hadn’t been able to spend much time with her yet.

"Then you’ll just have to wait," Pei Qin glanced at him askance.

But Shen Songming was even less willing to wait. He wanted to resolve the issues quickly and come over to finalize the engagement. If it weren’t for the fact that eloping would tarnish Pei Qin’s reputation, Shen Songming wished he could get married to her right away and have his "assurance" pill.

"Don’t want to leave, don’t want to leave, don’t want to leave..." he muttered discontentedly.

Pei Qin couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.

Shen Songming moved closer, trying to take advantage, but with Lu Hai, firm as a pillar, standing nearby, he hadn’t found a chance in three days. This infuriated Shen Songming to the point where he called out Lu Hai and Lu Hao, determined to give them a good lesson on how to be unobtrusive, incognito guards!

Meanwhile, Pei Qin also called for Shuang Xi, "After you return to Capital Jingcheng, give this letter to Shen Songming."

Shuang Xi intuitively sensed something was up with the letter and hesitated to take it, "Miss Pei! I really dare not accept it! You should give it to the young master directly!" The young master was already suspecting his loyalty, if there was something outrageous in this letter, he could directly roll up his sleeping mat and leave.

"Take it." Pei Qin ordered directly.

With a long face, Shuang Xi inquired, "Miss Pei... You... You really intend to marry our young master, right!?"

"Of course!" Pei Qin nodded.

Relieved by her serious expression, Shuang Xi thought about the expected requests concerning engagement and marriage, and hesitantly accepted the letter. He then verified with Pei Qin once more, "You really mean what you say, and no matter what difficulties arise, you will marry our young master, right!?"

"Yes, I’ll marry! If he marries me, I’ll marry!" Pei Qin affirmed with wide-open eyes.

Shuang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "The young master has set his heart on marrying Miss Pei." He had avoided the concubines at home and even stopped visiting the flower boats in Andong Wei.

Pei Qin watched him walk away with the letter and pursed her lips.

When Mo Heng heard of this, he smiled faintly.
