In this short scene, we learn that the quarrel between Ding and Ganymede was merely a quarrel between the two of them, and that the break-up was only put into motion in a fit of anger. Ding is late for work because he has not had a good night's sleep since his daughter's birth, and he is envious of her love life. He tells her that he has come to see her to ask her to marry him, but she refuses, saying that she will not accept his proposal.
