Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 587 Warmth

Song Ning, naturally, understood Cheng Che’s concern. She said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. Grandma won’t let irrelevant people anger her. She’ll only feel distressed for you.”

Jiahui pinched Cheng Che’s hand softly before she said, “You should worry about yourself. If Grandma finds out you were distracted and got into an accident, you’ll definitely be scolded! This is what will make her angry.”

Cheng Che did not respond to the two women, Instead, he looked at Mu Chen anxiously.

Mu Chen raised both his hands in a surrendering gesture as he said, “Alright, alright, I’ll go home and see Grandma. Take good care of yourself and get well soon. Otherwise, your period of recuperation would be counted as unpaid leave.”

Cheng Che smiled, finally feeling at ease. His brother knew him the best. Song Ning patted Jiahui’s shoulder and said, “Then, you stay here with him. I’m going back to work.” Then, she said to Cheng Che, “Don’t let your imaginations run wild. Learn to be shameless, and let your brother protect you.”

Then, Song Ning held Mu Chen’s hand before they both left the room.

Cheng Che’s eyes were wet with tears.

Jiahui pinched his hand again and asked, “What’s going on? Do you want to talk to me?”

Cheng Che sniffed before he pulled Jiahui’s hand to his face and called out sadly, “Jiahui…”

Jiahui did not rush him to speak. She let him calm down.

Cheng Che was not like those typical wealthy young men. Even Mu Chen had the temper of a Young Master, but Cheng Che had always been as gentle as jade. He always looked at things from other people’s perspectives, putting others before himself.

When Cheng Che moved slightly, he frowned. He felt slightly dizzy.

“You feel dizzy, right? Although the CT scan showed no concussion, you did hit your head, after all. Don’t worry. It’ll be fine in two days,” Jiahui explained when she saw the frown on his face. Then, she grabbed an apple and began to peel it for him.

Such a warm scene made Cheng Che relax. Then, he said softly, “Jiahui, when I was four years old, I already knew I was an unwanted child.”

When the apple peel dropped, Jiahui reached out to catch it before putting it back on the plate.

After a moment, Cheng Che continued to say, “At that time, Aunt Liang Zhen was still alive. I was treated the same as Brother Chen. They never treated me differently and loved us the same. Whether it was Grandma, Aunt Liang Zhen, or Brother Chen, all of them treated me sincerely.”

“Did you ever wonder why you didn’t have a father and a mother?” Jiahui asked.

“Yes. I asked Grandma and Aunt Liang Zhen about it. At that time, they told me that my mother had to leave because she was sick, but she was watching from the sky like the stars. They said that my mother entrusted me to them so I have to be good and grow up quickly. Only then would my mother be happy. They said it so many times that I even know it by heart.”

“What about your father?” Jiahui fed him a piece of the apple she peeled.

“Since Brother Chen’s father was busy and hardly home, I thought all fathers were the same. Hence, I didn’t ask much and didn’t feel his absence. Moreover, I had Brother Chen. That’s enough.”

“Then, when did you first find out about it?” Jiahui could not help but praise the Mu family’s sincerity and the way they raised Cheng Che.

“I got into a fight once. That child called me an unwanted bast*rd. After that, I asked one of the helpers at home about it. That helper was scolded that day so she vented her anger on me. She said I was an unwanted child; she said my mother died, my grandmother left me here, and I didn’t have a father.” Cheng Che’s expression was gloomy.

The words were extremely cruel to a child.
