Nurse Ping and Old Shang were both there standing beside her coach When they sighted her, they hurried over with twinkles in their eyes

Old Shang laughed: “Miss, did you ? Do they also have a Godly bearing like wang Qilang?”

Nurse Ping gave him a poke and then proceeded with her own question “Miss, were you able to ask for the wang house’s help? We are both fro, and they had furtherhbors are better than distant relatives You can ask Sir wang to persuade your uncle It’d be best if wang Wulang asked for your hand”

Chen Rong was sitting in the host’s seat Hearing this question, her docile face gave a smile as she softly answered, “Who says I don’t read?”
