Sir, How About A Marriage?

Cheng Che’s eyes sparkled when he heard Jiahui defending him.

Song Ning patted Jiahui’s arm. “You’re so righteous. Why don’t you save Cheng Che from his suffering then?”

Jiahui asked casually, “How?”

Song Ning smiled. “You can just become his girlfriend. Won’t it resolve his problem then? You can save him from being bullied by Mu Chen every day. Even Grandma teases him and says he’s incapable of giving her another granddaughter-in-law. Jiahui, you’re so righteous; you should hurry up and save Cheng Che from his misery…”

As expected, Jiahui instinctively said, “Sure, I won’t say no to helping others…”

Song Ning immediately seized the opportunity. She grabbed Jiahui’s hand and said to Cheng Che, “Cheng Che, she’s agreed!”

Cheng Che, who was at a loss over how to respond, only smiled innocently.

Jiahui asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Why are you acting weird?”

Song Ning smiled and said, “Jiahui, you can’t go back on your words. Since you’ve agreed, you can’t back out of it. Mu Chen and I are witnesses for Cheng Chen!”

Jiahui said disapprovingly, “I’ve already agreed to it. I’m not someone who…” She paused for a moment as though realization had just dawned on her at this moment. She seemed a little dumbfounded as she said, “I agreed to what?”

Cheng Che, who was standing behind Jiahui, said in a faint voice as he suppressed the excitement he felt, “You agree to be my girlfriend.”

Jiahui turned her head to look at Cheng Che, who wore a shy and excited expression like a teenager, with her mouth agape.

Song Ning smiled and patted Jiahui’s hand. “You can’t go back on your words!”

Jiahui’s face reddened immediately as she stammered, “I… I… I promised to save Cheng Che from his suffering, but…”

Song Ning interjected, “That’s right. The best way to save him from his suffering is to become his girlfriend…” She could not help but chuckle when she saw the dazed expression on Jiahui’s face.

Jiahui shook off Song Ning’s hand and said, “I… I’m leaving now. I’m not going to talk to a group of scoundrels! I’m leaving!” With an embarrassed expression on her face, she grabbed her bag and pushed Cheng Che, who was standing in her way, aside before she rushed out.

Cheng Che looked at Jiahui’s retreating figure, not knowing what to do.

Mu Chen lightly kicked Cheng Che as he said, “What are you doing standing here? If you can’t catch her, don’t come back! Otherwise, I’ll tell Grandma about this…”

Cheng Che rubbed the spot where Mu Chen had kicked him and looked at Song Ning as though he was asking for her help. “Sister-in-law, what if Jiahui ignores me?”

Song Ning smiled. “Beg her. The more pitiful you are, the more she won’t be able to refuse you, understand?”

“Sister-in-law, you’re much wiser than my brother!” Cheng Che rushed out, not waiting for Mu Chen to kick him again.

After Cheng Che left, Song Ning sighed in relief. “Finally, there seems to be some progress. It really hasn’t been easy…”

Mu Chen smiled. “Cheng Che is a fool!”

Song Ning said in defense of Cheng Che, “He’s not a fool; he’s just innocent. Although he’s shrewd and capable in regard to his work, relationship-wise, he’s innocent and simple-minded. He’s rather similar to Jiahui in this regard. Both of them are a good match…”

Mu Chen nodded. “Grandma likes Jiahui too. Grandma will be happy if she knows about this…”

Song Ning’s eyes flashed as she asked teasingly, “So you only like me because Grandma likes me?”

Mu Chen smiled and reached out to pat Song Ning’s head. Ever since she had gotten pregnant, he felt she had gotten livelier and more playful. He secretly hoped Song Ning would give birth to a lively daughter who was as good-looking as her. He would dote on his daughter and give her the whole world.

“Am I right?” Song Ning asked, refusing to let the matter rest until she obtained an answer.

Mu Chen leaned over and sneakily kissed her on the lips before he said, “I fell in love with you at first sight. It has nothing to do with anyone…”

Song Ning was satisfied with this answer.

Mu Chen was inwardly delighted. After all, Song Ning did not act like this usually. He really liked how tender and soft she was now. With this, he placed his hand on her still-flat belly and said with a hint of eagerness, “Song Ning, I hope you give birth to a daughter…”
