Chapter 990: Chapter 641 Expressing Intentions, Visiting to Propose Marriage

Tao Minmin was also puzzled, "What letter? I didn’t see any letter that you wrote."

Upon hearing this, Top Scholar Song was momentarily stunned.

By the side, Tao Minmin’s father heard about the letter and had a bad premonition, could it be that letter?

Tao Minmin, as if realizing something, turned her head to look at her father, "Father, do you know about the letter?"

Tao Minmin’s father looked at his daughter with a bit of guilt, "A letter was indeed delivered the day before yesterday, but I was busy discussing the engagement at the time. I thought it was from a previous suitor, so I didn’t give it to you."

No sooner had Tao Minmin’s father finished speaking than Wang Family tugged at his arm, "Have you lost your mind? Hiding a letter meant for your daughter."

Tao Minmin looked at her unreliable father. Had she had that letter, maybe she wouldn’t be getting engaged to young master Chen now, and all this trouble would have been avoided.

She extended her hand in front of her father, "Father, where’s the letter?"

"I’ll go get it for you," said her father as he quickly went to fetch the letter from the house.

When the letter was brought, Tao Minmin’s father was incredibly remorseful, "Minmin, here’s the letter. I haven’t even looked at it."

Seeing the letter, Tao Minmin couldn’t wait to grab it. The seal had not been broken. She tore open the seal, took out the letter and opened it, all in a moment’s time.

The letter was short and it explained why he had not come that day. Moreover, Top Scholar Song had also invited her to dine as an apology.

Missed opportunities... missed opportunities...

She couldn’t help but loudly criticize in her heart, father, you almost ruined my chance at marriage.

Although dining together didn’t signify much, it was still a tiny bit of progress.

Top Scholar Song watched Tao Minmin open the letter and only then realized she had not kept the appointment because she had not seen the letter.

After reading the letter, Tao Minmin looked up at Top Scholar Song with full anticipation, "Top Scholar Song, is it still alright to have that meal?"

Top Scholar Song was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "I haven’t had lunch yet."

"I haven’t eaten yet either; let’s go together then. We’ll go to Fujiang Restaurant, the food and drink there are great. I’ll treat you to thank you for exposing that scoundrel today," said Tao Minmin.

Top Scholar Song shook his head in refusal, "No, no, if I said I’ll treat, then it’s my treat. Shall we go now?"

"Right now. I didn’t have breakfast this morning and only had a few bites of lunch. I’m really hungry," said Tao Minmin with an urgent tone, almost pulling Top Scholar Song out the door.

Top Scholar Song agreed, and the two of them left.

It was only after the pair vanished from the doorway that Tao Minmin’s parents snapped back to reality.

"Master, what’s all this about?"

Tao Minmin’s father said, "Doesn’t Minmin like Top Scholar Song?"

"Top Scholar Song..." Wang Family paused, speculating, "Could it be that Top Scholar Song has thoughts towards Minmin?"

Tao Minmin’s father replied, "How would I know? I’ve heard that Top Scholar Song is extremely learned and humble, well-respected by the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Perhaps inviting Minmin for a meal is just a matter of courtesy?"

"But Minmin looked so happy..." Wang Family sighed, "Let’s leave it to Minmin; we can’t just marry her off to anyone. The character of the husband’s family is very important."

Tao Minmin’s father nodded repeatedly, "Madam is right."

Tao Minmin was riding in Top Scholar Song’s horse carriage, which, although not large, was spacious enough for two people.

Tao Minmin was initially excited because she didn’t need to get engaged to young master Chen and her frustration had lifted.

But now she felt nervous, sitting in the same horse carriage as Top Scholar Song.

Top Scholar Song also didn’t know what to say, and both fell silent.

It wasn’t until they arrived at Fujiang Restaurant that the tension began to fade.

Tao Minmin often dined at Fujiang Restaurant; she knew the owner well and requested a quiet private room.

Once Tao Minmin and Top Scholar Song sat down opposite each other, they began to order food.

"Miss Tao, order whatever you like. Don’t be shy," said Top Scholar Song.

Tao Minmin wouldn’t be shy. She was a regular customer, and although she hadn’t visited during her years in the palace, her parents often did.

"Then what would you like to eat?" she asked.

After a moment of thought, Top Scholar Song said, "I prefer something light."

Upon hearing this, Tao Minmin felt a tiny bit of disappointment because she had a somewhat heavy palate and loved spicy food. She hadn’t had hotpot in such a long time.

It seemed their compatibility was reduced a little.

However, she quickly thought of the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess loved spicy food, but His Highness did not, similar to Top Scholar Song, who preferred lighter flavors.

So, did she still have a tiny chance?

Seeing her holding the menu silently, Top Scholar Song asked in confusion, "Miss Tao, what’s the matter?"

Tao Minmin snapped back to reality, "I’m fine, I’ll order now."
