Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 339: Starry Sky

Cheng Che said with a hint of fear, “As expected of Grandma. Fortunately, she found a way to help us. Wisdom really does come with age…” After a moment, he looked at Mu Chen, horrified, as he asked, “Brother, this means Grandma knows as well, right?”

Mu Chen neither denied nor confirmed it. “I didn’t explicitly discuss this issue with Grandma, but Grandma had tested that woman a few times in front of me. She always…”

“Always what?” Cheng Che asked.

Mu Chen looked out of the window. “She made the baby cry this morning so I got angry at her. Grandma then said that I promised Song Ning that I would never bring my emotions from work home and vice versa and that I would never get angry at Song Ning…”

Cheng Che’s eyes widened. “Isn’t this like the first sentence in our company’s employee code?”

Mu Chen nodded. “However, Song Ning agreed that I promised her this…”

Cheng Che was rendered speechless by these words.

Mu Chen continued to say, “Grandma also said that the baby isn’t allowed to leave her side since we promised to give her a grandchild… However, that woman didn’t object to that at all…”

“Earlier, when that woman made a fuss about me returning to the bedroom, Grandma struck again. All those actions aren’t consistent with Song Ning’s personality. It seems like Grandma and I already have a tacit understanding. Cheng Che, the most important thing now is for you to look for Song Ning. Grandma and I can’t leave since we have to stay here to distract that woman and make sure she doesn’t get suspicious. That woman isn’t too smart so it’s easy for Grandma to deal with her. What we don’t know now is who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes…”

Cheng Che nodded solemnly. “I understand, Brother. Don’t worry, I’ll find sister-in-law as soon as possible.”

Mu Chen looked at Cheng Che and said, “Remember not to leave any traces behind. We’re in the open, and those people are still hidden. Since we don’t know who the enemy is, we have to be extra careful.”

Cheng Che nodded. “Don’t worry, Brother.”

…

The night was rather warm tonight.

Mu Chen sat in the glass room on the top floor, looking at the sky full of stars.

He had personally designed this room after Song Ning had gotten pregnant. At that time, he had planned to bring his daughter here to look at the stars. He had even prepared telescopes for stargazing.

At that time, the entire family had laughed at him and said that he would definitely be a slave to his daughter. If his wife was strict, he would spoil his daughter.

His small family filled him with warmth and happiness.

He looked at the room. Every piece of glass and object here had witnessed his happiness at that time.

However, now…

Mu Chen looked at the sky full of stars worriedly. ‘Song Ning, where are you? What on earth happened? What should I do?’

At this moment, Mu Chen was pulled back to his senses when the sounds of light footsteps rang in his ears. He turned around and saw his grandmother.

Mu Chen hurriedly stood up and said apologetically, “Grandma, were you looking for me? Next time, just get someone to call me. The stairs are a little high so it’s very tiring to climb them…”

Jiang Jin shook her head, a little out of breath so she did not reply to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen helped Jiang Jin to a seat before he poured her a cup of tea.

Jiang Jin waved her hand. “Pour me a glass of water. It’s so late now; I don’t want to drink tea. I have to adapt my schedule to the baby’s.”

Mu Chen felt even more apologetic upon hearing these words. “Grandma, I’m sorry to have made you suffer…”

Mu Chen kneeled on one knee so he drew level with his grandmother.

Jiang Jin reached out and patted his head gently. ?Silly child, is there a need for us to be polite with each other?”

Mu Chen lowered his gaze. “I’m an unfilial grandson. Grandma still has to worry about me until now…”

Jiang Jin smiled. “You’ll understand this when you’re my age. It’s truly a happy feeling being needed by your grandson and being able to help him. My grandson is so capable, and yet, when he’s at home, he still needs his Grandma to help him. Grandma is really happy. After all, it proves that Grandma is still useful..”
