Chapter 236: Meeting
Song Ning walked into Jiang Jin’s ward with food in hand and a smile on her face.
After Song Ning placed the food on the table, Jiang Jin inhaled deeply and happily called out, “Yu, come and eat. The food smells so good. The food Ning Ning cooked is the best.”
Sister Yu rushed over to help Jiang Jian, and Song Ning handed a set of cutlery to her. She asked curiously, “Young Madam, why are you so happy today?”
Jiang Jin looked at Song Ning before she said, “She’s happy every day. I think my grandchild will be a cheerful child. The child definitely won’t have an expressionless face like their father.”
Song Ning could not help but laugh when she heard these words. Jiang Jin always spared no effort in criticizing Mu Chen. After a while, she said, “Grandma, I made food for Cheng Che as well…”
Jiang Jin nodded as she drank the soup. “Mm, he must be exhausted recently. Did Mu Chen send the food to him? Is he really willing to give the food his wife made to someone else?”
Song Ning smiled. As expected, the person who understood Mu Chen most was still his grandmother. Then, she said, “Grandmother, Jiahui sent the food to him…”
Jiang Jin was visibly energized upon hearing these words. She put down the spoon in her hand and asked excitedly, “Really? Ningning, are you serious? Cheng Che, no, I mean, did Jiabui agree to be his girlfriend?”
Song Ning shook her head gently before she said with a smile, “Jiahui is a blockhead; how can she be so easily enlightened? Cheng Che has been so busy recently that no one has seen him at all. All I did was arrange for a chance for them to meet. As for whether anything will come out of it, it depends on them. I can only help them up to here…”
Jiang Jin nodded and said with a smile, “Cheng Che is a silly boy. If he can’t even seize the chance here, even the G.o.ds won’t be able to help him. Jiahui is really slow as well. Well… all we can do is wait for the good news.”
Sister Yu nodded. “That’s right. Let’s wait for the good news.”
…
Jiahui looked around curiously after she entered the Mu Group’s building. The environment she was most familiar with since she was young was the hospital and the people dressed in familiar white coats. She had never entered the world of the business elites.
The Mu family’s chauffeur dutifully led her to the elevator and swiped the access card before sending her to the top floor where Cheng Che’s office was located alone.
Jiahui carried the food container and walked out of the elevator. She strolled along the corridor, poking her head into rooms with open doors. This was a novel experience for her after all.
Cheng Che had barely slept for two to three hours when dawn broke. At this time, he was still lying on the couch. His hair was disheveled, and his black-rimmed gla.s.ses were still sitting on the bridge of his nose. When he looked up, he fell into a daze when he saw a young girl dressed in a pastel yellow woolen skirt and a beige coat walking toward him from the corridor. The girl was holding a thermal container that he was very familiar with. Was the container not from the Mu family?
Cheng Che rubbed his eyes. ‘Am I hallucinating from exhaustion? Why am I seeing Jiahui?’
This was the first time Jiahui had seen Cheng Che in this state. Every time they met in the past, he was always neatly dressed without a hair out of place. Whether he was dressed in formal or casual attire, he was always stylish and neat. However, the person in front of her right now was dressed in rumpled clothing, and his gla.s.ses hung askew on his face. She found his current appearance adorable, silly, and funny.
With one hand holding onto the food container, she instinctively reached out to touch his gla.s.ses, wanting to check if they were real gla.s.ses or if they were just for aesthetic purposes.
Cheng Che instinctively leaned back and called out hesitantly, “Jiahui?”
Jiahui nodded and smiled. “Cheng Che, you look so funny. You look like a college student who’d stayed up all night studying for an exam… No, actually you look like you just stepped out of an anime series…”
