Chapter 46 - Family (2/2)

“Why would I regret this? I’ve planned this for a long time.” Mu Chen shrugged indifferently.

Even Yu and Mr. Jiang who were standing at the side could not help but smile.

Song Ning discreetly kicked Mu Chen’s leg under the table.

He responded by reaching out and holding her hand as he looked at her blushing face from the corners of his eyes. He thought to himself, ‘Song Ning, all you need to do is wait while I present the entire world to you.’

…

A few hours later, Mu Chen and Ye Xin made the headlines.

On Mu Chen’s side, he was pictured holding hands with a slender woman as they walked out of a cake shop. They were also photographed driving back to the Four Seasons Cloudy Peak. Although the paparazzi did not have a clear shot of the woman’s face, based on the couple’s body language, it was obvious the couple had a good relationship.

Meanwhile, on Ye Xin’s side, she, Mu Chen’s rumored girlfriend, was photographed with Mrs. Mu in the same car while they were on the way to the mall. At that time, Mrs. Mu had alighted from the car and confirmed two things to the paparazzi present on the scene:

First, Mu Chen had already registered his marriage. However, since the other party was still a student, the wedding banquet would be postponed for the time being.

Second, Mu Chen and Ye Xin were never lovers. Apart from that, Mu Chen had only regarded Ye Xin as a little sister.

These articles caused a huge uproar on the Internet.

Everyone’s attention was on the mysterious woman by Mu Chen’s side.

…

Mu Chen sighed before he glanced at Song Ning. She had her glasses on at this moment as she did her research on her computer.

Song Ning did not have the habit of reading news online, and she seemed to live in another world. Therefore, she was unaware that she had become the topic of discussion for many people on the Internet.

Mu Chen fell into a daze as he looked at Song Ning. He was deeply attracted to her diligent personality. When she was an actress, she did her best and reached the pinnacle of her career after her first film. When she resolutely retired at the height of her fame, she did not turn back at all. She did not even look at the entertainment news at all.

As a student, she was just as diligent, always doing her best. He had heard that she had been receiving a special scholarship every year. Professor Li Sen was filled with praise for her, but she did not let herself get complacent. She continued to work tirelessly to better herself. She was always hungry for knowledge, absorbing them like a sponge.

Apart from that, she was incredibly calm and decisive. It might seem cold how she seemed able to advance and retreat with no hesitation at all, but he knew she had erected a thick barrier around herself. He knew it was her way of protecting herself. It had become instinctive for her to keep her guard up.
