What About Marriage?
Chapters. 7
Everyone enjoys themselves during the meal. It seems like a saying, ‘The path to one's heart is through his stomach,’ is true.
Song Ning analyzed Jiang Jin's physical condition and formulated the recipe according to Jiang Jin's eating habits.
Jiang Jin was looking forward to eating a delicious meal and would help his recovery.
Seeing this, Yu was impressed by Song Ning and admired her.
Even Jiang Jin's attitude towards Mu Chen had increased. He instructed the housekeeper to redecorate Mu Chen's room.
…
After Mu Chen and Song Ning finally managed to persuade Jiang Jin to sleep, the two heaved a sigh of relief.
Mu Chen's bedroom is connected to the study room and occupies two-thirds of the second floor. He handed the bedroom to Song Ning and planned to sleep in the study. They just have to share the bathroom.
At this moment, Song Ning had already taken a bath and changed her pajamas. He was sitting on a balcony connected to the bedroom, looking at the night sky. It helped him calm down when he recalled the ups and downs today. After which, he subconsciously glanced at the phone.
A day had passed, however, the phone did not ring.
Fu Le did not bother looking for him at all. As it turns out, it is very easy for some people to end a relationship.
He had known Fu Le for over twenty years. They were childhood sweethearts, and he once thought he would be his life partner. He always believed in her as he believed in himself.
But life is full of surprises.
Feng Man is his Junior High classmate. Back when they were students, they didn't interact with each other at all. After all, Song Ning was often absent and rarely showed up at school.
After that, the two continued their studies at N Medical University. Feng Man studied nursing while he studied medicine so they were in different departments.
After Feng Man graduated, his family spent money and used all their connections to give him a job as a nurse at the First Hospital.
On the other hand, Song Ning became a doctoral student, and she had studied with her professors and tutors. So, they often meet each other at work. After meeting each other many times, the two gradually drew closer.
It didn't take long before Feng Man met Fu Le who frequented Song Ning back then. Gradually, the three of them began to spend more time together. Every time Fu Le brought something to Feng Man, he would also bring something extra to Feng Man.
Song Ning was often busy so Feng Man often accompanied Fu Le whenever he visited Song Ning. Just like that, slowly but surely, they no longer spent any time as a trio. The trio turned into a duo; fu Le and Feng Man.
Before today, Song Ning had always thought she and Fu Le would be together forever, and Feng Man would be her best friend for life. In the end, Fu Le and Feng Man became a couple, and he became an outsider.
Originally, he deeply held Fu Le in his heart, but now, Fu Le had left him, leaving a bloody void.
She's confused. A long time ago, her mother and Yun Yao wished the two of them could be together. They'll be disappointed with this.
ding!
At this moment, his phone rang.
Song Ning instinctively picked up the phone to take a look. Apparently, Feng Man sent a message on WeChat.
He clicked the notification to read the message, but it turned out that it was an intimate image of Fu Le and Feng Man kissing.
His fingers trembled as he clicked on the voice message below the image.
“Ning, I've met Fu Le's father and grandmother. I promised them that when Fu Le and I got married, I would quit my job and become a housewife. The Fu family is rich and powerful so they don't need a career woman like you. I'm the type of woman they want Fu Le to marry, do you understand? I hope you won't see Fu Le again from now on. She's my fiancee now!”
Song Ning's grip on the phone loosened when she was struck with pain in her heart.
The phone slipped out of his grasp and fell to the ground.
He did not know when Mu Chen had arrived, but he, wearing a bathrobe, picked up his phone for him before he sat down next to him. Then, she started drying her hair when she asked, “Do you need my help?”
He had clearly heard Feng Man's voice message.
“Please me?” Song Ning was confused.
Mu Chen pondered his words for a moment before he said, “I don't mind beating it up to help you vent your anger.”
Song Ning chuckled and said, “No, it's not worth it.”
Mu Chen raised his brows, stunned. He's too calm anyway. Does he not care about that man at all? Or does he still have feelings for the man?
He looked at her as he turned his gaze back to the night sky. Seeing how lonely he was, he couldn't help but pity him.
Those who have just broken up are the most vulnerable.
