Chapter 67 - First Kiss
After taking a shower, Mu Chen dried his hair as he walked out of the bathroom. When he saw Song Ning sitting on the sofa in her pajamas in a daze, he took a seat next to her and asked, "What"s wrong?"
Song Ning sighed softly. "Grandma is really good to me. I thought she"d be angry that I hid my ident.i.ty and disdained my past. However, she only felt sorry for the pain I suffered." She lowered her gaze as she continued to say, "Both of you are really good to me..."
Mu Chen placed the towel down and cupped her chin before he gently said, "Silly girl, you"re Grandma"s granddaughter-in-law; you"re just like her granddaughter. It"s only normal that she treats you well. As for me, you"re my lawfully wedded wife. How can I not treat you well?"
Song Ning"s face turned red. She moved her head slightly, avoiding Mu Chen"s touch.
Mu Chen moved closer to her on the sofa before he said, "By the way, we"re a legitimate couple. Shouldn"t we do what a couple should do?"
Song Ning was taken aback by Mu Chen"s words. She instinctively moved aside, and her face turned even redder.
Mu Chen reached out with his long arm and pulled her closer. "Don"t hide. We agreed to be in a relations.h.i.+p. It"s only normal for us to do things that couples do…"
Song Ning"s body stiffened. Even her neck was red at this moment.
Mu Chen wavered for a moment before he lowered his head to kiss her. Her lips were soft and sweet; they carried the coolness and taste of the peppermint mouthwash.
Due to her nervousness, Song Ning"s body was frozen stiff. She could only grab onto Mu Chen"s pajama top tightly.
Mu Chen reached out and held the back of her head, pulling her into his embrace. He was not satisfied with just kissing her; he wanted her, her being, and her heart.
Song Ning struggled slightly as she cried out softly.
He swallowed her cry between his lips and teeth and took the opportunity to invade her mouth.
Both of them were inexperienced. While Song Ning was frozen stiff, Mu Chen let his instincts guide him. Only Song Ning could awaken the desires in the depths of his heart.
Song Ning went through a huge change during her most beautiful years, resulting in her calm and indifferent demeanor. During the time she dated Fu Le, they would hold hands, at most, while they watched a movie. They had never been particularly close.
As for Mu Chen, Ye Cheng"s concern was not without reason. Mu Chen had never been interested in watching any adult movies with their former roommates. Even if he watched them, he did not have any reaction at all. As a result, their roommates even questioned his s.e.xual orientation and ability.
At that time, Mu Chen had said the women did not pique his interest. Whether it was the women in the movies or the women around him, none of them piqued his interest. However, Song Ning did.
At this moment, Mu Chen was filled with the urge to make Song Ning his. His hand slowly reached up the hem of her pajama top; he felt her tremble slightly when his hand grazed her skin.
Song Ning nervously grabbed his hand and pushed him away with all her strength before she said in a low voice, "No…"
"Okay." Mu Chen"s voice was hoa.r.s.e. He was having a difficult time trying to resrain himself.
"Don"t move. Let me hug You. Be good." Mu Chen continued to hold Song Ning in his arms. He was so greedy for her that he could not bear to let her go. However, he knew the time was not right, and he did not want to scare Song Ning.
Song Ning obediently let him hug her as her heartbeat slowly returned to normal.
Mu Chen suddenly stood up and carried her horizontally, causing her to cry out in surprise. After placing her on the bed, he planted a soft kiss on her forehead and hurriedly said, "Good night."
Following that, he turned around and shut himself in the bathroom.
Song Ning covered herself with the blanket. Her body was warm, and she was red like a cooked shrimp.
…
At the breakfast table.
Jiang Jin"s eyes darted back and forth between Mu Chen and Song Ning"s faces.
Jiang Jin"s gaze made Song Ning uncomfortable; even Mu Chen felt uneasy.
Mu Chen put his chopsticks down and asked Song Ning, "Is there something on my face?"
Song Ning shook her head in confusion.
Mu Chen looked at Jiang Jin. "Grandma, if you have something to say, just say it. Don"t stare at me like that. I won"t understand what you"re trying to say."
Jiang Jin raised her chopsticks as if she wanted to stab him. Then, she paused for a moment before she laughed evilly and said in a hushed voice to him, "Kid, is it possible for me to have a great-grandson soon?"
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment. When he regained his senses, he chuckled and shook his head. "You"ll have to wait a little longer."
Jiang Jin patted him. "Then, you"ll have to work harder!"
Mu Chen only smiled and nodded.
Although Song Ning could not hear the pair of grandmother and grandson"s hushed conversation, she had a feeling it had something to do with her. She looked at Mu Chen quizzically, but he only handed her a gla.s.s of milk and said, "Finish your food. I"ll send you to work."
Jiang Jin and Yu exchanged a smile when they saw the couple"s interaction; both of them were delighted.
…
When Song Ning arrived at the hospital, she threw herself into her work and study.
At times like this, she was usually silent. When her cla.s.smates were chatting and laughing with the professor, she would organize the information she needed and send it to everyone in the group.
Her cla.s.smate smiled and said with a sigh, "How fortunate for us to have a cla.s.smate like Song Ning. We don"t even need to take notes.. The notes she shares with us are so detailed."
