Chapter 1190: Chapter 1188: Sweetheart
Finally, they managed to get Wufu invited to the gathering. Changping, feeling satisfied, went to the cleansing room to take care of business, while Guan Chuying looked at Wufu and laughed.
"A master, an official for Zhao Min, you’re really sothing!" she said. "People have to beg you, yet you’re still willing to go along."
Wufu smiled wryly, "You know I genuinely dislike socializing."
Guan Chuying knew it well. Wufu had declined several social invitations, and even when she herself sent a couple of invitations, Wufu only attended once.
"Whether you like it or not, we’re at an age where we need to think about our futures," Guan Chuying said aningfully. "Among us, we’re considered late in getting engaged. So start looking at the age of twelve or thirteen."
Therefore, to be able to connect was a kind of destiny. Once engaged, it wouldn’t be easy to move around freely.
"Oh, is Miss Guan feeling like a mustard in October because you’re having thoughts?" Wufu teased, raising her eyebrows.
Guan Chuying was taken aback, "What do you an?"
"Feeling the stirrings of spring!"
Guan Chuying blushed deeply, "Oh, stop it." She hurriedly covered her mouth and glared at her.
Wufu chuckled, "It’s about ti, you’re of marriageable age now. Has Madam Guan found anyone for you? Has the Crown Prince Zhao from the Prince’s Mansion really not caught your eye?"
Guan Chuying sighed, "That’s just talk. How could families like ours ever match with a place like the Prince’s Mansion? Mother thinks it’s better to find soone with integrity from a similar family background to avoid many troubles."
"Yes. As long as you’re clear about it. Ultimately, you’re the one who has to live with that person, and you need to be happy with it. Whether the shoes fit, only you know. Look around for your Ideal Gentleman," Wufu smiled.
Guan Chuying felt moved and asked, "What about you? Has your mother found anyone for you, Wufu?"
"Not yet," Wufu shook her head, though she had soone in mind. Thinking of Ah Jiu’s face, a smile appeared on her lips.
Guan Chuying saw through it, chuckled, and said, "Oh, look at that smile, be honest, do you have soone in your heart?"
Wufu let out a sound of agreent.
"Look at you, clearly feeling love’s stirrings!" Guan Chuying pointed at her face and said, "That smile, your face is much softer. Isn’t that because you’re thinking of soone special?"
Wufu’s face wasn’t typically soft and feminine. She took after her father, and combined with Madam Zhou’s features, her face wasn’t the gentle femininity of a young lady, but rather sowhat androgynous and distinct.
Now, with this softening, it did make her appear more charming.
Wufu wasn’t shy, shrugged, "Yes, there’s soone."
"Really? Which family is he from, what is he like? Tell us quickly."
"Talking about what?" Changping walked in and upon hearing the conversation, asked the two eagerly, "What secrets are you sharing while I was away?"
"Wufu has soone she likes!" Guan Chuying unhesitatingly revealed the secret of her friend.
"Really? Who is it?" Changping imdiately pursued further questions.
Besieged by their questioning, Wufu heard a buzzing in her ears and said, "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know. He’s far away, I’ll share when there’s a chance. As for you two, now that you’re both of marriageable age, you’ll be busy eting potential matches."
The two exchanged a glance, both blushing and feeling a bit bashful.
Young girls at the cusp of womanhood, naturally inclined towards romance, can’t help but have so anticipation for the future. Whether that future holds an Ideal Gentleman or a wolfish character, they cannot yet know. All they can hope for is a smooth and successful life.
