An Jing sat down and said, "There's something I want to talk to you about—it's about how you keep bothering your brother. Should we talk in private, or shall we discuss it now?"
Gong Juese immediately smiled even more brightly, "It's not a secret at all. Everyone in this rice shop knows I've been annoying my brother lately with something, so just say it. There's no need for privacy."
An Jing broke into a sweat in an instant. So this person had even made the whole rice shop aware of the matter.
But this was also good; without a private talk, her husband could be present; and Meng Lanqing could listen in too, saving her the trouble of going to Meng Lanqing about this matter again.
