Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fu Le did not dare to meet Song Ning’s eyes at all. He stood there with his head lowered as though he was a child who was caught misbehaving.
Song Ning sighed inwardly before she patiently said, “Fu Le, Feng man said both of you have been together for a long time. From the day you decided to be with her, our relationship has ended.”
Fu Le looked up and took two steps forward. “I… I can break up with Feng Man…”
Song Ning took two steps back before she said, “Fu Le, can you be more responsible? What you and Feng Man do has nothing to do with me. I’m married. I got married on the date my mother and Aunt Yao selected.”
Fu Le said anxiously, “Song Ning, I know you’re angry because I didn’t keep my promise. I know I’m wrong. Let’s start over. We can register our marriage whenever you want. We can even do it now.”
Song Ning shook her head. “Fu Le, I said I’m already married. Do you understand? It’s over between both of us. We’re adults; we’re not playing house.”
After she finished speaking, she hurried down the stairs, ignoring Fu Le who was calling out to her. She shook her head. He was just like a child who had yet to grow up.
...
Since Song Ning had the afternoon off, she decided to head to the studio.
After she changed out of her work clothes, she suddenly recalled something. She hurriedly brought her phone out and called Jiahui. “Hey, where are you? Didn’t you say you want to follow me?”
Jiahui perked up immediately. “Where are we going?”
“I’m going to sell you off. Are you afraid?” Song Ning asked playfully.
“I’m not afraid! I think they’ll pay you to take me off their hands,” Jiahui replied without thinking.
Song Ning chuckled. She really liked Jiahui’s personality.
Perhaps, due to growing up in a normal family, Jiahui was bright and cheerful. However, she was not an ignorant fool.
Song Ning said, “I’ll give you five minutes to meet me at the entrance of the hospital. I’m taking you to meet a handsome man!”
“Alright! All I need is three minutes!” Jiahui replied happily.
Song Ning smiled. She fell deep into her thoughts as she waited for Jiahui.
The four seasons in M City were very distinct. Song Ning thought Jiahui was like the sun during an autumn afternoon.
Recently, she was rather happy. She had Mu Chen, Jiang Jin, Yu, her professor, Jiahui, and her classmates. Being surrounded by people who were good to her gave her a clearer goal and direction.
Just as she had said, Jiahui arrived in three minutes. She hugged Song Ning before she held Song Ning’s arm and said, “Before you sell me off, let’s think about what to eat. I’m hungry.”
Song Ning patted Jiahui’s arm and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to starve yourself for a while.”
As soon as Song Ning finished speaking, the car she had called arrived so the young women entered the car immediately.
As Jiahui looked out of the car window, she asked curiously, “My love, are you really going to sell me off? Where are we going? I’m not familiar with the direction we’re going…”
Song Ning said ambiguously, “I’m planning to trade you for lunch…”
Jiahui leaned back, clearly relaxed, as she said, “Sure, you’re my idol. If you want to trade me for a meal, I’m willing.”
Song Ning looked at Jiahui and laughed.
Jiahui immediately asked, “Are you touched? Are you touched? Are you touched?”
Song Ning nodded. “Yes, yes, I’m touched”
Jiahui leaned over to tickle Song Ning.
In just a moment, the car was filled with the sound of joyful laughter.
Even the driver was infected by their joy.
…
When they finally arrived at their destination, Jiahui looked around curiously.
Song Ning made a stop at a cafe nearby to pick up the food she had ordered in advance. Then, they went to the supermarket to get some things. When they left, they were both carrying two heavy bags each.
Jiahui followed Song Ning and asked curiously, “Why are we buying so much food, Song Ning? What are we going to do? Is this food that I’m being exchanged for?”
Song Ning smiled. “Yes! I’ll hand you over to the buyer in a while.”
Jiahui did not press for answers. She liked surprises anyway.
All of a sudden, Song Ning stopped in her tracks.
Jiahui followed suit. When she looked up, she saw she had arrived in front of a shop.
From the door to the window lattice, they were all decorated with antique decorations. The color of the storefront was a classic stone blue. There were two elegant red lanterns hanging at the side as well.
Jiahui could not help but exclaim, “Song Ning, look at how beautiful these lanterns are!”
Jiahui walked closer to one of the red lanterns and craned her neck to have a better look. She wished she could touch it.
On the other hand, Song Ning’s eyes were fixed on the oval sign next to the door. The words ‘Zhuang Ji’ were written in gold against a black background.
‘Zhuang Ji…’ Song Ning’s visions grew blurry as she looked at the oval sign. ‘Mom, are you watching? This is your ‘Zhuang Ji’!’
The design of the door was so beautiful that before she even entered the door, her heart was already won over.
She was right in entrusting Zhuang Ji to Mu Chen and Cheng Che. They were really the best people to help her with Zhuang Ji!
