What About Marriage?
Chapters. 22
At this moment, Mu Chen got up. Then, he said as he rolled up his sleeves, “Please teach me. I will help you..”.
Jiang Jin and Yu could only stare at Mu Chen in astonishment.
Hearing this, Jiang Jin and Yu could only stare at Mu Chen.
Yu stuttered, “But Young Master, k-you ..”
Yu did not finish his sentence. He thought to himself, ‘But you know nothing about cooking!’
“Yu, come here!” Jiang Jin hurriedly said and gestured for Yu to sit next to him in an attempt to stop Yu from speaking.
Yu walked over hesitantly as he said restlessly, “Young Master has never cooked before!”
Jiang Jin pointed at Mu Chen who was washing vegetables under Song Ning's guidance and said, “He's doing it now, right? There is a first time for everything. I'm sure you he enjoys his cooking time with him. Why are you trying to stop him? I finally experienced what it feels like to have a harmonious family.”
After instructing Mu Chen to do some tasks, Song Ning advised gently, “Don't invite your relatives home again. Grandma was really angry before. Because of his health, it is not good for him to be emotional.”
“Good.” Mu Chen nodded.
Song Ning hesitated a little before she asked, “Will I offend them for making you trouble?”
Mu Chen turned on the faucet and washed the vegetables while saying, “They are a problematic group so you are innocent. Every now and then, they would come here to make trouble. My grandmother and I are used to it. However, since they would affect Grandma's health, they would not be allowed to visit again. They asked for this.” Her voice was gentle when she spoke to him; it was a striking difference from the way she had spoken to her previous relatives.
Song Ning asked curiously, “Why are they so afraid of you? You still look handsome even with a frown on your face.”
His hand stopped for a moment. Then, he sighed helplessly and asked, “Do you praise me?”
He smiled faintly and nodded.
Mu Chen asked in reply, “Then, why did you make them angry earlier? Are you not afraid of them? My aunt is famous for cunning.”
Song Ning cut the vegetables quickly as she explained, “That's because they bully you and Grandma. How can they bully the homeowners they visit? I just can't stand.”
After hearing this, Mu Chen solemnly stated, “Song Ning, I will protect you and Grandma in the future.”
Song Ning looked at him and replied, “Alright, if I deal with them next time, I will ask for your help.”
…
After dinner, Mu Chen asked Yu to accompany Grandma for a walk as she planned to bring Song Ning back to her house to move her belongings.
Jiang Jin was happy and instructed Master Jiang to help Song Ning move all of her items.
Although Mu Chen knew his grandmother wanted Song Ning to be with him every day, he did not want to make Song Ning here go against his wishes. He wanted to give her time to slowly adapt to life here. Therefore, he convinced his grandmother to let him return to Song Ning's house without Mr. Jiang.
For this, Song Ning felt grateful to him.
…
Song Ning's house was in the old city. His house had two small bedrooms and one living room; it was comfortable and tidy.
Photos of Song Ning and her mother lined up in the TV closet in the living room.
Song Ning's mother looked like a very gentle woman, and Song Ning was very similar to her mother.
At this time, Song Ning opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water. As he handed it to Mu Chen, he said, “I will clear this place up first. Make yourself to him.”
Mu Chen studied the house. There are two rooms; a bedroom and a study room. He scanned his surroundings, trying to gather information about the pieces of Song Ning's life. Immediately after, his eyes were fixed on a set of books on the shelf.
Sitting conspicuously between the books was a beautifully wrapped book. The book's back contained its name and author; yi Yao by Liang Zhen.
Mu Chen traced the title of the book gently with his finger.
At this moment, Song Ning's voice sounded from behind her. “Have you read this book?”
Without turning her head, she asked gently in return, “You've read this book?”
A faint smile appeared on Song Ning's face as she reached out and took the photo album, which was placed next to the book, out. “This book changed my life.”
He opened the album, showing the stage photos.
Back then, Yi Yao was adapted into a film. The writer also worked as a screenwriter for the film. It is said that the main actress was handpicked by the writer. After the movie was released, it was a huge sensation. It won many awards that year. As a result, the lead actress also became the youngest award-winning actress.
