Chapter 96: Passion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Song Ning woke up early in the morning, she felt her bones aching. It was as though someone had disassembled her bones before reassembling them. She inadvertently thought about the lab skeleton in the office that would creak whenever she moved its joints. After a moment, yesterday’s memories gradually returned to her.
‘Mu Chen, he…’
Yesterday, when they returned to the Mu family house, he had shown off the rings to his grandmother. As a result, his grandmother chased him, trying to beat him up. After all, it was a surprise she had prepared for them, and he had destroyed the surprise she had meticulously prepared for them. His grandmother kept asking how he had discovered the surprise.
After that, she and Mu Chen coaxed Jiang Jin by making promises such as never separating from each other and supporting each other for the rest of their lives.
Mu Chen seemed stimulated and moved after coaxing his grandmother, and when they went to bed… everything happened naturally.
.
Song Ning’s face flushed red when she recalled what happened yesterday night, and her body felt hot. She tried to lift the blanket and leave the bed when an arm snaked around her waist and pulled her back into bed.
After Mu Chen pulled Song Ning into his embrace, he said, “Song Ning, I love you.” His voice carried a hint of laziness of someone who had just woken up in the morning.
Before she could reply to him, his lips had already reached hers. He trapped her in his arms and deepened the kiss. She felt like it was difficult to breathe.
Mu Chen’s hand moved over her exposed skin, causing her to tremble.
With whatever remaining rationality she had left, she pushed Mu Chen’s hand away, panting heavily as she did so.
“No, w-we can’t. It’s time for us to get up…” Song Ning said, not realizing how coquettish and inviting her voice sounded.
How could Mu Chen who was already burning with desire resist her soft and sweet voice?
…
When Song Ning finally got out of bed, her legs felt weak and soft like jelly. On the other hand, the culprit had already gotten out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looked refreshed and satiated, like a panther that had eaten its fill.
Upon seeing this, Song Ning could not help but kick him with her bare feet.
Mu Chen only chuckled and kissed her forehead. “Today, we’ll bring Granma to Zhuang Ji. I’ve already told Cheng Che to make the necessary preparations.”
Song Ning glared at him before she hurriedly entered the bathroom.
After Song Ning closed the door behind, Mu Chen sighed in relief. At this moment, he finally felt like he had entered her heart. Previously, she had sealed her heart off. It had not been easy to enter her heart. If he had gotten too close to her too fast, she would have put up her guards. However, if he was too distant… Well, the outcome was obvious. Fortunately, his efforts had paid off.
He wanted her to trust him and rely on him. He did not want her to be lonely and face everything on her own.
He was lucky that Song Ning had always been honest, to herself and others. She did not deny and admit her feelings for Mu Chen once she had discovered them. She had finally taken the first step toward him.
Thinking about all these things, Mu Chen was beside himself with happiness.
...
Although it seemed like Zhuang Ji was located downtown, in fact, it was located not far from the central business district of M City. Bustling high-rise buildings towered behind it in the distance. In contrast, there was a quiet valley in front of the store. The contradiction made it a rather charming location.
Even Cheng Che had said many times that the location of Zhuang Ji was excellent.
The exterior of Zhuang Ji had a retro design. No matter from which direction one was coming, the store would immediately attract one’s attraction.
The first floor was fully open. On one side was the exhibition hall, and on the other side was the workroom.
Song Ning held Jiang Jin’s hand as they looked at the exhibits in the display cabinet. She said excitedly, “Grandma, look! This is my mother’s works from her past competitions. W-where did Cheng Che find them? I-it must have cost a lot of money!”
Mu Chen who was standing behind them reached out and pinched her cheek gently. “It’s your husband that found them. Your husband, you hear me? Not Cheng Che.”
Song Ning could not help but blush.
Jiang Jin looked at them happily. “Silly child, money isn’t important. The value of these worlds can no longer be measured with money. In fact, we’re lucky we’re able to obtain them with money.”
Song Ning said with a sigh, “If my mother could see these, I wonder how happy she’d be…”
Jiang Jin patted her hand and said reassuringly, “Silly child… Although your mother is no longer around, these things she left behind contain the essence of her life. You should feel proud of your mother…”
Song Ning nodded. Following that, she turned to Mu Chen and said, “Thank you…”
Mu Chen smiled but did not say anything.
Jiang Jin said, “Why should I thank him? You’re his wife. This is what he should do.”
Warmth suffused Song Ning’s heart. Jiang Jin would always stand on her side.
Jiang Jin held Song Ning’s hand and put them in Mu Chen’s hand before she said, “No matter what your parents’ relationship was like, you have to remember you’re you; you’re not your parents. You and Mu Chen have to treat each other sincerely and be happy!”
Mu Chen and Song Ning nodded in unison upon hearing Jiang Jin’s words.
