Chapter 76 - protection

After that, Song Ning felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace.

Mu Chen gently patted Song Ning’s back as he said, “Song Ning, Song Ning, don’t be afraid. I’m here…”

When Song Ning heard Mu Chen’s strong heartbeat, she focused her attention on his heartbeat. Soon enough, the feeling of drowning gradually receded.

At this moment, Ning Chun finally realized that something was wrong with Song Ning and called out, “Young Miss.”

Mu Chen looked up immediately and motioned Ning Chun to keep quiet. Then, he said softly in Song Ning’s ear, “Ningning, be good. Don’t be afraid, alright? Let’s go home.”

Song Ning inhaled deeply to calm herself down.

Ning Chun grew anxious and wanted to speak, but he was intimidated by Mu Chen’s gaze.

Mu Chen calmly asked, “Who are you? Why are you looking for my wife?”

“Wife?” Ning Chun looked at Mu Chen in shock. He, naturally, recognized Mu Chen; he knew Mu Chen was the successor of the Mu Group. The Young Miss was Mu Chen’s wife? When did this happen? When did the Young Miss marry into the Mu family? There was no wedding banquet from the Mu family. If Mu Chen were to get married, it would definitely be a huge event that would shake the entire city, right? How could there be no news at all of Mu Chen’s marriage?

Ning Chun, not being one to hold his tongue, asked, “President Mu, this young miss is the Eldest Young Miss of our family. Did you just say she’s your wife?”

Mu Chen raised an eyebrow. At this moment, he could vaguely understand why Song Ning lost control. He wondered how much did the Ning family hurt her. Did they want her to lose control whenever she met anyone from the Ning family?

After a moment, Mu Chen said, “She’s my wife, Song Ning, not the Eldest Young Miss of your family. You’ve gotten the wrong person; please don’t harass her again. Otherwise, I won’t be polite.”

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he bent down and carried Song Ning before he turned her head to face his chest, hiding her face. Then, he walked to his car and put Song Ning in the seat before driving away.

Ning Chun stood motionlessly as he watched the duo leave.

At this moment, the bodyguard behind Ning Chun quietly asked, “Uncle Chun, are we going to snatch her back?”

Ning Chun shook her head. “Let’s return.”

…

Mu Chen carefully helped Song Ning to a bottle of water as he asked, “Do you still feel unwell?”

Song Ning closed her eyes and leaned back against the seat, gently shaking her head.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen no longer spoke. He only held her hands and gently rubbed them to make them warmer.

After a moment, Song Ning called out softly, “Mu Chen…”

“Yes, I’m here,” Mu Chen replied gently.

“I can’t continue being like this. I keep torturing myself every time I see them,” Song Ning said as she looked at her hands that Mu Chen gently held.

Mu Chen remained silent. In fact, he was very worried. His heart ached for her, and he felt distressed on her behalf, but he really did not know what to do.

After a moment, Song Ning said decisively, “Can you help me look for a psychiatrist?”

“Alright,” Mu Chen hurriedly responded to her. He would find the best psychiatrist for her.

“I don’t want to see the psychiatrist in the hospital. I don’t want others to know about my past,” Song Ning added in a soft voice.

Mu Chen reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear before he said with a smile, “Alright, leave this to me. Rest. Don’t think about all those unhappy thoughts, okay?”

Song Ning nodded slightly. “Let’s go to the supermarket.”

Mu Chen was a little worried. “Let’s go to the supermarket tomorrow. We should go home and rest.”

Song Ning shook her head slightly. “No, let’s go to the supermarket. It’ll keep me occupied and stop me from thinking about those things.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen replied immediately, “Alright, let’s buy lots of things! You should start thinking about what you want to cook and the list of things to buy…”

Song Ning sat up slightly. Her complexion still did not look too good.

Mu Chen could tell she was trying her best to endure it and could not help but admire her strength. Her experience with her family had made her strong, and he knew she wanted to see a psychiatrist because she did not want to have any weakness. He really felt distressed for her, but he did not know how he could get her to open her heart so she could relax a little.

…

The Ning family.

Ning Chun rushed to Ning Zhe’s study as soon as he got him. On his way there, he met Su Tong, Ning Zhe’s current wife.

Su Tong looked behind Ning Chun briefly before she asked, “Why are you alone? Where’s the Eldest Young Miss?”

Ning Chun replied, “The Eldest Young Miss said she doesn’t have the time…”

Su Tong said airily, “How busy…”

Ning Chun did not respond to her words and only stood quietly at the side.

Su Tong looked up before she said with a smile, “Hurry up. Master be waiting for you anxiously.”

Ning Chun bowed slightly and walked upstairs.

Su Tong looked at his back with an elegant and friendly smile on her face.

As the old sayings went, ‘Blood is thicker than water’, ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder’, and ‘There’s no long-term feud between parents and their children’.

It seemed like Ning Zhe finally remembered he had a daughter. He could not even control himself and wanted to invite his daughter back for his birthday.

Su Tong scoffed softly. Ning Zhe must have forgotten that slap back then. She wondered if Ning Xia still remembered it.

At this moment, a voice rang out.

“Mom, I’m back!”

Su Tong quickly regained her senses when she heard her son’s voice. She looked up and saw her son walking in with a basketball under his arm, beaming with joy.

‘Ning Xia, if you’ve forgotten that slap, I’ll happily remind you of it again. Since you’ve left the Ning family, don’t even think about coming back again.’
