Mu Chen was aware that Song Ning was capable of protecting herself. He knew an unyielding and tough woman lay beneath her calm exterior. However, he knew her protective armor was made of layers upon layers of scars. The more he got to know her, the more distressed he felt for her. He did not know what happened during the three years after she changed her name from Ning Xia to Song Ning. Since she did not say anything, he would not ask her about it. Regardless, he knew she must have gone through an excruciating transformation during that time. Similarly, those three years were excruciating for him as well. Who knew that all these things inexplicably formed an invisible magnetic field that drew them together?
At this moment, Song Ning said in a daze, "Everyone knows about our relationship now."
A trace of panic appeared in Mu Chen's heart when he heard these words. Outwardly, he just raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the matter? Don't you want them to know about us?"
Song Ning looked at him and said teasingly, "This means my juniors won't buy me snacks anymore. I can only depend on Jiahui to treat me in the future."
Mu Chen laughed, feeling relieved. He did not expect Song Ning would have such a playful side to her as well. He said, "I'll have my staff send all kinds of snacks to your office tomorrow!"
Song Ning hastily shook her head before she said with a faint smile on her face, "Please don't! Let's keep a low profile. Did you see Secretary Zhang's face today? I'm guessing he'll come to my office tomorrow to kneel and beg for mercy. He has been so careful all this while, and yet, he made such a big mistake today..."
Mu Chen nodded. "That'll teach him a lesson. There are people like him everywhere. If they're used well, they'll be an asset. Otherwise, they would only be a burden. I think Direction Lin knows this very well."
Song Ning frowned. "I don't like dealing with interpersonal relationships. That's why I can't manage the staff in the studio well."
When the car stopped at the red light, Mu Chen reached out to pat her head again. "Silly, I'm here to help you, right? Just focus on your studies. Based on Professor Li's words, I can see he admires you a lot."
Song Ning looked at Mu Chen for approval as she said, "I'm thinking of asking Professor Li to have a look at Grandma when he's off duty. After all, it might be inconvenient for Grandma to travel to the hospital."
"I agree. However, it's better that you speak to him." Mu Chen looked at Song Ning from the corners of his eyes and smiled.
Song Ning could not help but blush when she felt his gaze on her.
