What About Marriage?
Chapters. 15
Song Ning looked at Mu Chen intently and earnestly asked, “Do you really want to be with me?”
Mu Chen nodded. “Ya!”
Song Ning lowered her eyes, causing her long lashes to spread under her eyes, as she said, “But I don't know how to be a loving partner.”
He was always busy with his affairs, working tirelessly like a trifle. Fu Le, who had always been his life, would have fun on his own when he was busy. He doesn't care what he does when he's not with her. When he has time, he will eat or watch a movie with him. It was about the summary of their relationship.
Fu Le was the man her mother had chosen for her, and Aunt Yun Yao had also vouch for her. Perhaps, it was for this reason that he did not expect such a tragedy to happen to him like it had happened to the previous generation. He felt he had screwed up too. He is not loving, or perhaps, he does not know to be compassionate, leading to the current chaos.
Mu Chen chuckled before he said convincingly, “I don't know much either. Why don't we take the time and try to fall in love with each other? Let's interact with each other in the most convenient way for us”
‘Fell in love with each other?’ Song Ning's eyes widened without feeling as awareness appeared to her. Perhaps, this was the reason he and Fu Le had split up. Then, he said firmly, “Alright! Mu Chen's. I'm willing to try this. However, if one day you decide we are not suitable, you should promise to be honest with me .. “
Mu Chen looked at her solemnly as he interrupted, “Don't worry, I won't deceive you or betray you. I promise you on behalf of my beloved Grandmother!”
Song Ning was a little surprised when she saw how serious she was. When he regained consciousness, he said, “Alright, Mu Chen. Let's date! I'm ready to be with you!”
After she put the key into the ignition, she ruffled Song Ning's hair again. “That's a promise then.”
With this, Song Ning's racing heart gradually calmed down.
…
When Song Ning and Mu Chen arrived at the bank, a staff took them to the safe and left them for privacy.
When Song Ning found the safe corresponding to the number given to her, she was stunned. He expected a small safe, but the safe in front of him was even taller than him. Confused and confused, he looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen gently took the key from his hand and opened the safe for him.
The safe opened, revealing four large camphor boxes.
Song Ning touched the copper buckle in the box as she softly said, “This is the dowry my grandmother gave my mother. In my mother's hometown, camphor trees were planted in the yard when a baby girl was born. When his daughter gets married, parents will use a mothball tree to make a mothball box to store the dowry they prepared for their daughter.”
Mu Chen asked with a hint of confusion, “Mahar? It's a very old tradition. Are people still doing that until now?”
Song Ning's gaze softened as she explained, “You were right. It's a very old tradition. When my mother was born, my grandparents had already moved to the city. However, they asked their relatives in the countryside to help them plant mothballs in the yard of their old home.”
Jiang Nan thought to herself, ‘It turns out, her grandparents were from Jiangnan. No wonder he brings the elegance and temperament of women Jiangnan.’
After a while, he urged her, “Open and see ..”
He unlocked the brass clasp and gently lifted the lid.
As the scent of camphor wood permeated the air, Song Ning saw a white dress lying inside the box. It was a wedding dress.
Mu Chen gently pushed her, “Why don't you take it and look at it?”
He nodded small in response. With Mu Chen's help, she carefully took out the wedding dress.
Mu Chen was 1.88 meters tall so it was easy for him to show his entire dress as he lifted it.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she reached out and gently stroked the wedding dress. His voice trembled as he said, “This was stitched by my mother. I know for sure because I recognize my mother's sewing technique. I don't know when he made this for me..”.
After hearing her words, she looked down and found the wedding dress to have exquisite embroidery. The embroidery thread is similar to a wedding dress. He could not identify the flower, but each flower's stamen was carefully embroidered with small pearls. As she lifted the dress higher, the gesture made the pearl glitter. Due to its similar color, it seemed like the dress itself was glittering. He could not help but sigh in admiration. How clever!
When she saw Song Ning again, a smile slowly appeared on her face as she imagined how beautiful she was in this wedding dress.
Meanwhile, Song Ning reached out and gripped the dress on her chest as she whispered, “Bu.”
