Sir, How About A Marriage novel Chapter 17

When they were in the midst of putting the items back into the boxes, Song Ning picked a white silk kerchief out of the third box. It was embroidered with delicate pines and cranes on one of its corners.

Mu Chen leaned over to have a look before he exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

After looking at him, Song Ning flipped the silk kerchief around.

Mu Chen was stunned when he saw the back of the silk kerchief. There was a different version of the pines and cranes on the other side of the kerchief. He asked in surprise, "Double-sided embroidery?"

Song Ning nodded with an expression filled with pride. "Wasn't my mother amazing?"

"Yes! This is a work of art!" Mu Chen sighed in admiration.

After a moment, Song Ning put the silk kerchief into her bag.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen shook his head and asked, "Are you going to use it? Are you really fine with using this masterpiece?"

She asked with a smile, "Do you think Grandma will be happy to receive this as a gift? Will she obediently receive the treatment if we give her this?"

Mu Chen was surprised by her words. He did not expect her to care about his grandmother so much. Even at such a moment, she was thinking about his grandmother. When he regained his senses, he nodded and said, "Grandma will like it very, very much."

Then, Song Ning urged him to clean up the mess quickly so they could return home earlier to see his grandmother.

After Mu Chen put the last box back into the safe, he sighed. "If you give such an expensive gift to Grandma, she'll start treating you like her granddaughter and treat me like I'm adopted."

Song Ning chuckled when she heard him teasing her.

...

During their journey home, Mu Chen asked Song Ning as he drove, "What are your plans for the future?"

Song Ning leaned back in her seat and looked at scenery flashing past through the window before she said, "I'll be graduating in a year, so during this time, I'll be relatively busy. I have to work on my graduation thesis and visit the hospital with my professor. I've been struggling to maintain my mother's small studio as well due to my workload. However, after seeing what she left for me today, I'm even more determined to keep the studio running regardless of how difficult it would be. That place was my mother's blood, sweat, and tears."

After a moment, he said, "Take me to the studio tomorrow. Maybe there's something I can do to help..."
