Sir, How About A Marriage? Chapter 247 - Waking Up

Chapter 247: Waking Up

Ning Zhe scoffed. “Forced? Ning Chun, it seems like you know no excuse can exonerate them so you found this c.r.a.ppy word as an excuse?”

Ning Chun did not know how to respond.

Ning Zhe let out a long sigh. “When you reach my age, you’ll know what it feels like to be truly helpless. Look at me. Although I know their wild ambitions, so what? I can’t do anything to them now. I might even have to let things slide in the end because I have no other choice…”

Ning Chun did not dare to speak.

“In the end, Ning Xia is the lucky one. It looks like I’ll still have to rely on her and her child…”

Ning Chun asked tentatively, “Then, what about Ye Xin?”

Ning Zhe fell silent immediately.

Ning Chun regretted his blunder and did not dare to bring it up again. He was about to change the topic when…

“Ye Cheng is in charge of the Ye family. He’ll not expose something that’ll be detrimental to him and the family. His career is flouris.h.i.+ng now so he definitely won’t want any negative news impacting his career. He’ll definitely suppress this secret. As for if it’ll be a success, it’ll have to depend on his ability. We’ll just pretend we don’t know. It was an accident in the first place; I didn’t expect it either…”

Not for the first time, Ning Chun did not know what to say.

Ning Zhe sighed. “It’s just that Ning Xia will definitely hate me even more. That child is as stubborn as her mother. They don’t understand that men sometimes have to put on a show and make hard decisions as well…” His voice grew solemn as he continued to say, “Chun, you have to keep an eye on Mu Chen on my behalf. Knowing Ning Xia, if Mu Chen makes a mistake, she’d rather die than take the easy road. In the future, when I’m not around, you have to continue keeping watch over them. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Master. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep a close on Mu Chen; I won’t give him the chance to betray the Young Miss at all,” Ning Chun solemnly promised.

Ning Zhe sighed softly. “I’ve lived so long, and I’ve been through h.e.l.l. I have so many feelings in my heart. Sometimes, I wonder what it’d be like if Zhuang Yi and I manage to grow old together…”

Ning Chun did not dare to comment.

Ning Zhe said softly, “Ning Xia married Mu Chen; such a good marriage will definitely bring the Ning family to the next level… That… That child… If he were alive, he should be in middle school now. With his sister around, he would have a carefree life…”

Alas, there was no medicine for regret in this world, and there was no second chance at life.

…

Ye Xin’s eyes fluttered open. Over the past few days, she heard a lot of noises. All sorts of people were saying all sorts of things by her ear; it was extremely annoying.

She did not know what was wrong today, but it was abnormally quiet. When she opened her eyes and saw that no one was around, she thought to herself, ‘No wonder.’

She slowly moved and felt her four limbs. Her two hands were fine, but she could not feel her left leg. Apart from that, her body seemed to be fine as well. She used her elbow and struggled to sit up; she wanted a drink of water. The ward was s.p.a.cious, but not a single person was around to help her.

In the end, she had to press the bell by her bedside.

A young nurse, who looked like she was still an intern, rushed in immediately and fetched her a gla.s.s of water at her request.

After drinking the water, Ye Xin said, “Thank you.”

The young nurse looked at her with a hint of pity. “Isn’t your family here? I heard the people staying on this floor are from wealthy families. Why are you alone? The other rooms are always filled with people…”

Ye Xin felt as though her sore spot had just been poked. She said, “My family happened to go out…”

The young nurse nodded, clearly skeptical. “Then, do you need anything else?”

Ye Xin reached out and touched her hair. It was alright; it was very smooth and tidy. Then, she asked, “Can you push me out for a walk?”

The young nurse quickly waved her hand, “That won’t do. Your family isn’t around…”

Ye Xin thought for a moment before she said, “Then, help me into that wheelchair. I feel really uncomfortable lying here…”
