Sir, How About A Marriage novel Chapter 18

When they were at the door of the house, Mu Chen held Song Ning's hand and gently said, "Song Ning, don't push yourself so hard. From now on, you should trust me, rely on me, and let me help you shoulder the burden. You and Grandma just need to sit back and enjoy life."

Song Ning lowered her head and bit her lower lip before she softly replied, "I'm already used to doing things on my own and being alone. I don't know how to be a girlfriend. If... If there's something you're dissatisfied with, you can let me know, and I promise to try harder."

Mu Chen reached out and pinched her cheek, freeing her lower lip from her teeth. "Silly girl, just be yourself. I like how strong, independent, courageous, and capable you are. I also like that you're sensible, filial, naive, and innocent. I like everything about you. Remember this: I like you so there's no need for you to change, understand?"

Song Ning was on the brink of tearing up when she heard his words.

Meanwhile, Mu Chen felt a pang in his heart when he saw the pitiful expression on her face. He pulled her into his arms and said in an attempt to cheer her up, "Silly girl, don't cry. You need to understand Grandma more. Do you know that no matter the reason you cry, Grandma will definitely blame me for it? It seems like I have no choice but to curry favor with you now..."

His words successfully made Song Ning laugh.

...

When the couple finally entered the house hand in hand, they heard a commotion from the living room. It seemed very lively so they did not think much of it and thought it was just noises of laughter and conversations.

However, as the noises grew clearer, Mu Chen stiffened and abruptly came to a halt as he clenched his hands tightly. After a beat, he resumed walking.

Confused, Song Ning looked up at him and discovered his eyes that were shining with affection and gentleness just a moment ago were incredibly frosty at this moment. In fact, his entire person seemed to emit a bone-chilling aura.

At this moment, the butler walked up to the couple. "Young Master, Young Lady, you've finally returned!"

When the butler spoke, his voice grew increasingly loud, and his tone was arrogant. However, despite his tone, a hint of relief could be seen in his eyes. It was as though he wanted to announce their arrival to everyone.

Song Ning found this strange.

However, before Song Ning could ponder on the strangeness of the matter, Jiang Jin who had seen Song Ning waved and called out, "Ning, you're finally back. Hurry, come over!"
