Chapter 982: Chapter 638 Engagement? Clearing Up Misunderstandings_2

She had simply taken two more days off to recuperate at home.

During these days, Tao Minmin had tea with Master Chen at the Wuzi Pavilion, invited by him, who had also prepared her favorite tea snacks and Date Paste Crisp.

His carefulness and attitude were evident in everything he did.

After the tea, Master Chen suggested, "Miss Tao, I’ve heard that the Plum Blossoms in Qin Garden have bloomed. Shall we go view them together?"

Tao Minmin hesitated for a moment. After a few encounters, she had a good impression of Master Chen, and since they were considering marriage, going to view the blossoms seemed appropriate, so she nodded.

Master Chen smiled, stood up, and led Tao Minmin out of the Wuzi Pavilion.

Ding Xiang followed behind her young mistress at a leisurely pace.

Qin Garden was not far from there, and they arrived after a short walk.

When they entered Qin Garden, the red plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the cold, piercing wind did not deter the young men and ladies from coming to admire them.

Master Chen glanced at the plum blossoms before him, then looked back at Tao Minmin and gently warned, "Miss Tao, be careful, the path is slippery."

In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, a light snowfall had occurred last night, filling the uneven paths with snow, which had frozen into ice overnight.

Tao Minmin looked down and saw a patch of ice before her. If it weren’t for Master Chen’s warning, she would have stepped on it.

After stepping around it, she looked up at Master Chen, "Thank you for the reminder, Master Chen."

Master Chen smiled, "Miss Tao, you are too polite. Let’s continue to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Tao Minmin smiled and replied, "Sure."

Seeing Tao Minmin smile, Master Chen also smiled and led her deeper into the plum grove.

There were quite a few people viewing the plum blossoms around them. Upon approaching, someone came up to greet them.

"Isn’t that Master Chen? I heard you’ve been very busy lately, how did you find time to come view the plum blossoms?" The man glanced curiously at the lady next to Master Chen and asked, "Master Chen, who is this lady?"

Master Chen looked at Tao Minmin with a smile and introduced her, "She is the Tao family’s precious daughter, Tao Minmin. We came to view the plum blossoms together."

Then, Master Chen introduced the man to Tao Minmin, "Miss Tao, this is my good friend Qiao Tai."

Qiao Tai clasped his fist and bowed, "Greetings, Miss Tao."

Tao Minmin bowed her head slightly, "Greetings, Master Qiao."

Qiao Tai looked Tao Minmin over, and then, with a smile, turned to Master Chen, "Master Chen, why don’t we view the plum blossoms together? Master Luo and others are also here."

Master Chen glanced at Tao Minmin, seeking her opinion, "Miss Tao, what do you think?"

Tao Minmin glanced at Qiao Tai and, not wanting to make things awkward for Master Chen, said after a moment’s thought, "Alright."

Qiao Tai cheerfully said, "The plum blossoms are blooming beautifully today, and many scholars and distinguished guests have come to admire them."

"Indeed, I heard there will be heavy snow in the next few days, and there will be even more people," Master Chen looked at Tao Minmin, "Miss Tao, are you free in the coming days? If it snows, we could come and view the blossoms together."

The sight of proud plums against the snow is a beautiful winter scene.

Tao Minmin readily agreed, "Yes, that would be nice."

Master Chen smiled and continued walking.

After a while, they bumped into Master Luo and his companions, with whom Master Chen conversed.

Miss Tao stood quietly to the side, watching and not speaking.

Listening to the conversation content, Tao Minmin couldn’t help but laugh, drawing the attention of several gentlemen.

Seeing Tao Minmin laugh, Master Chen couldn’t help but compliment, "Miss Tao has a beautiful laugh."

Hearing this, Tao Minmin’s cheeks flushed, and she lowered her eyes.

Noticing her blush, Master Chen looked away with a smile towards the plum blossoms and added, "Today’s plum blossoms can’t compare to even half of Miss Tao’s beauty."

Tao Minmin looked up following Master Chen’s gaze and saw several red plum blossoms blooming on the branches, vibrant red.

Qiao Tai’s laughter rang in her ears, "Master Chen is quite the flatterer. Could it be that he’s taken a fancy to Miss Tao?"

Before Qiao Tai’s words had finished, Master Luo and the others also began to tease.

"Master Chen, are you interested in the young lady, yes?"

Tao Minmin looked at the gentlemen before her, her expression somewhat uneasy. How could they ask such questions in front of her?

Master Chen chuckled, glanced at Tao Minmin, and perhaps noticing her discomfort, softly advised them, "Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore."

Qiao Tai still teased with a laugh, "Master Chen is protecting her already? If he marries her in the future, won’t he dote on her to the skies?"

Tao Minmin looked at Master Chen and saw him lower his head with a smile, then lift it again, "Master Qiao, you are quite talkative today."

"I understand, I understand," Qiao Tai said with a knowing look.
