What About Marriage?
Chapters. 14
At this moment, Song Ning was standing at the front desk of the Jiacheng Law Firm, feeling a little nervous. She was happy to see what her mother had left behind, but she felt nervous and melancholic at the same time.
Mu Chen reached out his hand and gently patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
Song Ning turned around and looked at him with gratitude.
To distract Song Ning, Mu Chen said, “Song Ning, you still haven't given me an answer to what I said this morning.”
Song Ning asked in a daze, “What are you talking about?”
Mu Chen chuckled while combing the unraveled hair on the side of his face and tucked it behind his ears. “Did you selectively forget what I said? I said I want to be with you..”.
After hearing Mu Chen's immediate confession, Song Ning's cheeks instantly flushed red. She was so frightened by his words in the morning that she ran away and buried herself with work all morning to avoid thinking about those words. He was sure he would forget it at night. Who knew he would pick it up again?
Mu Chen glanced at his flushed ears before he said softly and solemnly, “Song Ning, at least, you don't hate me, do you? Then why don't we try to fall in love with each other? I've had no experience with relationships, and you're the same. Why don't we experience this together? We're married anyway.”
He looked at Mu Chen and refuted his words, “That's not true. I have a girlfriend.”
Mu Chen was briefly surprised by his response. When he regained his senses, he could not help but laugh wryly. It seemed like he had a tendency to focus on the wrong point. “But you have never experienced love, stupid.” Then, he rubbed his head after he finished speaking.
At this moment, a soft voice sounded in the air. “MS. Song.”
Song Ning quickly turned around. “Ya, it's me.”
He quickly followed the lawyer into the office. However, it did not take long before he returned to Mu Chen who was sitting in the rest area.
Mu Chen looked at him with a smile.
She lowered her gaze as her cheeks turned pink and said in a slightly pleading tone, “Please come to the office with me.”
Mu Chen got up and patted his head again. “Are you not happy I'm coming with you?”
Song Ning simply bit her lower lip in response.
…
In the lawyer's office.
The lawyer, surnamed Yang, was a man in his forties with a friendly smile on his face. He looked at Mu Chen before he asked Song Ning, “Ms. Song, is this your husband?”
Song Ning nodded. “Ya.”
Afterwards, Lawyer Yang started explaining with a smile on his face, “OK. Miss Song Ning, your mother, Miss Zhuang Yi, previously entrusted me with the keys to the bank vault. She instructed me to just give the keys to you when you showed up with your husband at 26 and assured me that you were living happily. I've Verified Your ID, Your marriage certificate, and Your husband. Now, I want to ask Master Mu Chen, are you happy?”
Song Ning was shocked and confused when she heard this. “Isn't that question aimed at me?”
However, Lawyer Yang maintained a smile on his face and looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen reached out to pat Song Ning's head again, trying to calm her down. Then, he replied, “Lawyer Yang, it is an honor and a blessing to be able to marry Song Ning. I am very happy, and I am willing to stay with him and protect him for the rest of my life. I'll make her the happiest woman in the world.”
Lawyer Yang beamed happily as he exclaimed, “That's great! That's fantastic! Zhuang Yi would be very happy if she were here to hear your words. Not bad, Son!”
Then, Lawyer Yang handed over the document file in his hand to Song Ning and urged her, “You should go and see what your mother left for you.” Then, he looked at Mu Chen meaningfully before he added, “From now on, our law firm will be your legal advisor for life!”
After hearing these words, Mu Chen placed his hand on Song Ning's shoulder and said confidently, “Don't worry, we will never get divorced!”
Song Ning looked at Mu Chen in surprise when she heard the determination in her words
“Let's go to the bank,” said Mu Chen gently as he lowered his head.
…
Song Ning's attention was focused on the document file in her hands so she didn't realize that she had exited the law firm with her arms wrapped around Mu Chen's arms. Once he enters the car, he opens the file and finds a unique key in it.
He only jerked back to his senses when Mu Chen bent down to tighten his seatbelt for him. She looked at him timidly, at a loss for words.
After seeing this, Mu Chen ruffled his hair and said, “You will soon know the answer to your question.”
Song Ning turned her face away from him, letting her hands fall off, before she softly said, “Your actions make me feel like a puppy.”
Mu Chen laughed out loud when he heard his words.
