Sir, How About A Marriage

Jiahui quickly moved her chair to Song Ning's side. "Wow! Song Ning, this dress is too beautiful! The embroidery on it is too exquisite! Who made this?"

Song Ning looked at the computer screen and said softly, "My mother. These are all my mother's works."

"Really? It's too amazing! Is this the first time you've seen these photos? Why do I feel like you're also amazed by it as though you're seeing them for the first time?"Jiahui reached out and patted Song Ning's head.

Song Ning nodded. "Yes, this is the first time I'm seeing them. These three were my mother's works from her previous international competition. They won a golden award so the organizers kept them for display purposes. They weren't in China so I didn't have the chance to see them. The other two were donated by my mother to a charity. I heard they were kept as collectibles."

"I know, I know. There's one in Grandma Mu's study as well. Grandma Mu showed it to us. Your mother was really amazing!"Jiahui exclaimed.

"It's said that only Grandma's piece was auctioned off. The rest were all kept."

Jiahui thought for a moment before she asked, "Song Ning, what does your mother's studio do? Only embroidery?"

Song Ning shook her head. "Ms. Yun Yao does fashion design. My mother's embroidery and her clothes complement each other. Both of them had won many awards."

"I don't think I've heard of them though." Jiahui tilted her head slightly to the side in confusion.

"That's because they only took custom orders. Almost all of them were handmade. Hence, it takes a long time and not many pieces are produced. Despite the small quality, they're all very high quality," Song Ning explained.

"Wow, does this mean the current Zhuang Ji will follow this route as well? If that's the case, I'll place an order, but you'll have to give me a discount, considering we're friends," Jiahui said as she wrapped her arms around Song Ning's shoulders.

Song Ning smiled and replied, "If you're going to ask for a discount, you're better off asking for it from Sister An Ran. She will be the backbone of Zhuang Ji in the future."

"However, you're the boss. Cousin will definitely listen to you. Therefore, it's more effective for me to ask you," Jiahui said coyly. She looked up at this moment and saw someone standing silently at the entrance. She exclaimed in shock, "Who are you?"

Song Ning instinctively looked up.

The person standing at the door smiled warmly. He was rather handsome.

However, Song Ning and Jiahui who had been around Mu Chen and Cheng Che were already immune to handsomeness.

He placed one hand in the pocket of his suit before he walked in and greeted them with a smile, "Hello, beautiful ladies!"

Jiahui rose to her feet and asked warily, "Who are you looking for?"

Song Ning stood behind Jiahui, silently supporting her.

The man asked politely, "Is Miss Song Ning here?"

Jiahui turned to look at Song Ning with a face full of questions.

Song Ning was puzzled as well. "I'm Song Ning."

The man sized Song Ning up before he said, "Indeed, you're beautiful."

Jiahui asked indignantly, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The man ignored Jiahui and handed Song Ning a business card before he said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Ye Cheng, Ye Xin's brother.

Song Ning did not accept the business card and looked at him silently.

Ye Cheng did not mind. He placed the business card on Song Ning's desk before he smiled and said, "I think you should've guessed the purpose of my visit by now. I hope you can leave Mu Chen. My sister and Mu Chen are childhood sweethearts and have been in love for a long time. Previously, they had a small misunderstanding. That's how Mu Chen ended up with you. I can tell from a glance that you're a good girl. You must've been deceived by Mu Chen. However, it doesn't matter. There's still time for you to put a stop to your mistake. I'll make sure my sister compensates you generously. In fact, you can name a price..."

Song Ning and Jiahui looked at Ye Cheng, dumbfounded.

Ye Cheng continued to say with a faint smile on his face, "If you break up with Mu Chen, I'll start pursuing you. I'm not inferior to Mu Chen at all. Miss Song Ning, you won't suffer a loss at all even if you leave Mu Chen. What do you think?"

Song Ning smiled. Then, she casually picked up her phone and dialed a string of numbers.. It only rang once before the call connected.

"Song Ning?"

Song Ning turned on the speaker. "Mu Chen, someone called Ye Cheng is here."

Mu Chen's voice tense immediately. "Why is he looking for you?"

Song Ning looked at Ye Cheng whose expression had changed drastically. She replied indifferently, "He said you and his sister are childhood sweethearts and that both of you only have a small misunderstanding. He wants me to leave you, and stop my loss. He said that all I have to do is name a price, and his sister will compensate me. Apart from that, he said..."

"He said what?" Mu Chen's voice was filled with killing intent at this moment.
