"What's got you so wound up?"
Mrs. Qi had her suspicions, but she kept a poker face.
After all, since it involved a young woman's reputation, she needed to be particularly cautious.
Liu Qinghe was feeling quite anxious at the moment too.
Even though he had rehearsed his words on the way over, facing Mrs. Qi Sr., it was like something glued his mouth shut.
Not only could he not speak, but even opening his mouth was a struggle.
Mrs. Qi watched him try several times to say something, but not a word came out. She was getting really anxious, and finally couldn't hold it in anymore: "Qinghe, say something already, what does your mother want you to ask me? Seeing you stammer like this is just going to worry an old lady to death!"
"Auntie, I, I..."
Liu Qinghe took a deep breath, finally summoning the courage to dive right in, and said softly, "My mother wanted me to ask if you would mind a daughter-in-law who has been engaged before?"
"What?"
