Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 150 - Hope

Chapter 150: Hope

Song Ning could naturally sense Mu Chen’s emotions. She found it amusing that he was acting like a child. However, her heart was filled with warmth. There was a person in her life now who loved her so much whom she could also rely on. Such happiness was something she had never expected for herself. If she had married Fu Le, they would probably treat each other perfunctorily for the rest of their lives.

For a long time, Song Ning did not believe in love nor marriage. She subconsciously created a barrier around her heart in order to avoid getting hurt. She even thought it was best for husbands and wives to get along like friends. However, Mu Chen opened up a completely new world to her. He peeled off her shell layer by layer, allowing her to feel warmth, happiness, security. He patiently waited for her to trust him. All in all, she was really grateful to him.

When Song Ning woke up in the middle of the night, she felt a thin layer of sweat on her body. She tried to move and felt Mu Chen’s legs pressing down on her. It was as though he was afraid she would run away and would hold her in his arms before he could peacefully go to sleep.

She reached out for her phone to look at the time. After putting the phone down, she turned, with great difficulty, to face Mu Chen.

His breathing was even, and he looked as though he was sleeping very soundly.

Although the light was dim, she could see his eyebrows and eyes clearly. His facial features were really eye-catching and exquisite. His eyebrows were high, and his eyes were deep set. His nose bridge was high, and his lips were plump. He resembled his mother, Liang Zhen.

She had never seen Mu Chen’s father before, but based on the other members of the Mu family whom she had met, it seemed like he did not take after the Mu family, appearance-wise.

Rumor had it that Mu Chen’s cold expression matched his cold heart. He was ruthless in his business dealings and did not show mercy to anyone, not even his family; this included his father. Therefore, apart from Cheng Che, there was no one else he was close to.

In front of Jiang Jin, he was an obedient grandson who was sometimes used as a punching bag; in front of Cheng Che, he was a perfect elder brother. Only in front of her, he would occasionally act childishly.

Song Ning could not help but chuckle when she thought about this. She reached out and gently traced his eyes brows, thinking that this was the man who would accompany her for the rest of her life.

Currently, her previous view on marriage had changed. She believed that she would grow old with Mu Chen. She knew clearly in her heart that she loved him.

Her fingers tracing his eyebrows slid down to his nose bridge and gently made their way to his lips. She was suddenly overcome by the urge to kiss him.

She leaned forward gently, drawing closer to his lip, but she suddenly came to a stop. She felt her face burn from embarrassment. She was not one to take the initiative to do something like that.

She was still hesitating when suddenly she felt the world turn upside down. In just a moment, she was pressed under Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s kisses were urgent and long.

She tentatively slid her hands around his neck and held onto him, slightly raising her face to meet his kiss.

Mu Chen paused briefly when she took the initiative to raise her face to meet his kiss. Then, his kisses fell on her again. They were more passionate than before. It was as though he could not bear to let her go and wanted her to cling to him forever.

Song Ning indulged him and did not reject him as she usually would. It was as though she was rewarding and comforting him.

This change in Song Ning’s attitude stirred Mu Chen up even more.

Song Ning completely surrendered herself to him, allowing him to take, give, and receive.

Ever since they had gotten married, this was Mu Chen’s most freeing moment. All the grievances he felt over the past few days were swept away at this moment.

After some time had passed, Mu Chen caressed Song Ning’s tender skin as he held her in his arms. He kissed her gently on the crown of her head and her forehead. “Song Ning, I love you.”

Song Ning replied drowsily in a soft voice, “Alright.”

Dissatisfied with her reply, he repeated his words, “Song Ning, I love you.”

“Alright,” Song Ning replied, clearly drowsy and exhausted.

With that, Mu Chen lowered his head and nipped her neck.

She immediately hissed in pain and reached out to gently hit his back.

Following that, he whispered in her ear, “Song Ning, I love you.”

Song Ning closed her eyes and said with a smile, “Mu Chen, I love you too.”

Finally satisfied, Mu Chen smiled and tightened his hold around her.

Song Ning reached out wrapped an arm around his neck as well.

The couple listened to each other’s heartbeat and breathing as they fell asleep, feeling content.

…

In the morning.

Sister Yu was accompanying Jiang Jin during breakfast. From time to time, she would glance at the staircase. However, after a long time, there were still no movements.

Jiang Jin smiled knowingly as she asked, “Do you think our family will have a new addition this time next year?”

Sister Yu was briefly stunned. When she regained her senses, she smiled happily. “Of course. When I think about that, my heart is filled with happiness. Old Madam, we must take care of our bodies so when the time comes, we’ll have the strength to take care of the child!”

Jiang Jin grinned. “You’re right! It’d be even better if we have more than one child! I want to live until I’m 100!”
