Sir, How About A Marriage?-Chapter 55 - Respect

Chapter 55: Respect

Cheng Che sighed as he looked at Song Ning. “I thought Mu Chen had married a random pretty girl at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. I was shocked when I found out you’re a Ph.D. medicine student when we returned! Now, after returning from my business trip, I found out that you’re also the award-winning actress from ten years ago! Song Ning, you’re too amazing! Tell me, do you still have any hidden identity? You’re a hidden gem!”

Song Ning felt a little embarrassed by Cheng Che’s words. Although she was not familiar with Cheng Che, Mu Chen had told her that he and Cheng Che were childhood friends. She had also learned from Mu Chen that Cheng Che was two years younger than Mu Chen. She could not help but feel she had known Mu Chen for years even though they had only gotten to know each other for half a month. Perhaps, it was due to their connections to Liang Zhen.

Mu Chen patted Cheng Che’s head and said, “You talk too much.”

Cheng Che reached out and pushed Mu Chen’s hand aside. “Mu Chen, you’re too blessed. I’m so jealous of your luck! Song Ning even changed career, but you still managed to meet her in the end!” He clicked his tongue and shook his head after he finished speaking, thinking that Mu Chen really should thank his lucky star for everything. Then, he added, “Mu Chen, touch my head again so some of your luck will rub off on me.”

Everyone could not help but laugh at Cheng Che’s words.

At this time, Pan Hao said, “Ning Xia, I can rest assured now that I know that you’re married to Mu Chen. I’m glad you became a doctor. You are one of the rarest talents I’ve ever met, but I respect your choice. It’s your life after all. As long as you’re happy, you have all my support.”

Pan Hao rose to his feet and opened his arms as he said, “Child, I wish you happiness for the rest of your life!”

Song Ning stood up and hugged Pan Hao as tears brimmed in her eyes. “Thank you, Director Pan! I’m forever indebted to you for all that you’ve taught me!”

Pan Hao was very pleased when he heard Song Ning’s words. He patted Song Ning’s shoulder and said, “I hope you mean what you said! As the saying goes, ‘Once a teacher, always a teacher.’ If you encounter any difficulties in the future…” He paused for a moment as he patted his chest before he continued to say, “You can always come to me. I’m like your family, and I’ll always be there for you!”

Then, Pan Hao looked at Mu Chen and said, “Mu Chen, you’ve always been Liang Zhen’s pride. I, now, entrust Ning Xia to you. You must treat her well; it’s what she deserves!” After he finished speaking, he reached and shook Mu Chen’s hand firmly.

Mu Chen replied gently, “Director Pan, if you encounter financial difficulties during filming in the future, you can come to me for help. Please don’t feel embarrassed. If my mother were still alive, she would’ve asked me to do the same!”

Pan Hao smiled as his eyes reddened again. “Alright! I’ll keep that in mind!”

At this moment, Song Ning opened her arms and turned to hug Yang Li who was silently crying.

Yang Li said through her tears, “Ning Xia, it’s really great to see you again! I’m so glad I’m able to see you again!”

Song Ning whispered in Yang Li’s ears, “Ms. Yang Li, good luck! I can’t be of any help to you now, but if you ever feel sick, you can come to me. However, if it is for this reason, I’d rather you not show up in front of me ever again then.”

Yang Li could not help but smile with tears streaming down her face when she heard Song Ning’s words. Song Ning was still the same as before; she did not change at all.

…

In the car, Cheng Che looked at the two people in the backseat who were holding hands through the rearview mirror as he drove. He said with a sigh, “Mu Chen, I feel like I’m dreaming…”

Mu Chen snorted coldly. “Would you like me to punch you? The pain should wake you up from your dream!”

Cheng Che hurriedly shook his head. “No, no, please don’t. That’s not what I mean. It’s just that everything changed so drastically after I returned from my business trip!”

Mu Chen no longer paid Cheng Che any attention.

When Cheng Che shifted his gaze to Song Ning, he seemed to recall something. “Song Ning, they said you immobilized Ye Xin’s two bodyguards? Are you skilled in martial arts as well? Do you know Kung Fu?”

Song Ning smiled. “I just poked their acupuncture points with needles. They were going to destroy the computer in our office, after all. The computer contains the lifeblood of our department; it contains information that all of us worked tirelessly to obtain. Everyone would be heartbroken if they really destroyed the computer. Therefore, I had no choice but to act against them. I’m probably going to be scolded by my professor tomorrow. The purpose of the needle is to save lives, not harm others like I did.”

Cheng Che grew even more enthusiastic when he heard Song Ning’s words. “You’re too amazing, Song Ning! Ye Xin’s bodyguards are all skilled fighters whom Ye Cheng spent a lot of money to hire. And yet, you subdued them with just two needles. Ye Cheng really suffered a huge loss this time.”

After Cheng Che finished speaking, he was reminded of something immediately. He said, “By the way, Mu Chen, Ye Cheng wants to invite you out for a meal. I don’t think this is the end of this matter.”
