731: Marriage

Marriage

Even though they slept together, it was nothing more than two people hugging and sleeping through the night. Nothing could possibly happen, right? 2

Because of this mindset, Shen Ruojing didn't understand Rong Rong's dependency on Doctor Xu. 

She couldn't comprehend how a woman could love a man so much to the extent of giving up her own life. 

But as she held Chu Cichen and heard his heartbeat, she seemed to understand something.

"What are you thinking of?" Chu Cichen asked.

"If you were to die, I probably wouldn't follow you in death," Shen Ruojing answered bluntly.

"After all, apart from you, I have many other relatives in this world. Even if I didn't have those relatives, life is only once, and I would cherish it."

Chu Cichen twitched his lips and couldn't help but rub her nose. "Can't you wish me well?"

There were always mentions of life and death.

They then spent the night without speaking. The next day, when Shen Ruojing opened her eyes, she saw a perfect face at close range. This made her heartbeat quicken. She wanted to retreat, to be further away from Chu Cichen, but she found that he was tightly hugging her body. Hence, she could not struggle free.

Shen Ruojing. "..."

Her struggle woke Chu Cichen up. He slowly opened his eyes. After meeting Shen Ruojing's gaze, he smiled warmly and said softly, "Good morning."

His natural behavior made Shen Ruojing less embarrassed, and she greeted him back, "Good morning."

The two faced each other. 

Just when they didn't know how to proceed, there was a knock on the door. Shen Ruojing immediately looked at the door, subconsciously wanting to hide Chu Cichen under the quilt. But the person outside didn't come in.

Shen Ruojing asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Mommy!" Chu Tianye's voice came in. He then shouted from outside the door, "Mommy, wake up! The sun is shining on your butt. Do you know where Daddy is?"

Shen Ruojing glanced at Chu Cichen and coughed. "He's probably gone to work, what's up?"

"Nothing, it's just that when I knocked on Daddy's door, he didn't answer. And when I went in to check, I didn't see him. He didn't seem to come home last night," Chu Tianye reported directly. "Mommy, they say that men who don't come home at night are not good. You have to keep your eyes open and don't let Daddy bully you!"

Shen Ruojing. "..."

Chu Cichen who didn't return home at night. "..."

The corners of Shen Ruojing's mouth twitched. "I know, I"ll get up now. You go downstairs and wait for me."

"Okay." After Chu Tianye hopped away, Shen Ruojing got up. But Chu Cichen hugged her waist from behind. "Jingjing..."

The man's deep and pleasant voice made half of Shen Ruojing's body numb. But thinking that it was daytime and the children were waiting for her to have breakfast downstairs, she pushed Chu Cichen away. "You should get up quickly and not let the kids find out that you slept here. Hurry downstairs."

"...Okay."

Chu Cichen agreed on the surface, but then he turned his head and took out his phone, sending Chu Xiaomeng a message. [Xiaomeng, bring your Mommy a glass of water. She just woke up and is thirsty.]

Chu Xiaomeng. [Okay.]

After waiting for a while, when Shen Ruojing finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, she saw that the door to her room was open and Matriarch Chu with the three children were making a fuss there.

Chu Xiaomeng. "So, Daddy didn't stay out all night last night and slept in Mommy's room?"

Chu Tianye. "It seems that I"ve misunderstood Daddy!"

Chu Yu. "Daddy and Mommy slept together. Does this mean they are a normal Daddy and Mommy now?"

Chu Xiaomeng immediately looked at him. "What do you mean by a normal Daddy and Mommy?"

Chu Yu explained, "In kindergarten, many kids' parents don't sleep together. They call that divorce. Daddy and Mommy never slept together, so I thought they were divorced. Thank goodness they are not, this is great!"

Chu Tianye rolled his eyes. "Are you stupid? They're not even married yet, what divorce?"

Chu Xiaomeng couldn't help but speak, "So now that Daddy and Mommy are sleeping together, are they going to get married?"

"You're absolutely right, Xiaomeng!" Matriarch Chu, upon hearing this, immediately picked up Chu Xiaomeng. A very cheerful smile could be seen on her face. 

At Shen Ruojing's door, she immediately turned to her. "Jingjing, see if the 13th of next month is a good day. I'll get everything arranged for you and Cichen!"

Shen Ruojing. "???"

(What on earth is going on?)

She immediately glared at Chu Cichen.

Chu Cichen understood what she meant and immediately looked at Matriarch Chu. "Mother, there's no need to rush. I"m not ready yet..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Matriarch Chu got angry and directly scolded, "Cichen, are you planning to not take responsibility for Jingjing?! Let me tell you, if you dare to betray Jingjing, I will disown you as my son!"

After she said this, she looked to the side. "Little Ye, bring the family ruler!"

Chu Tianye immediately ran out and in no time brought in a ruler.

Matriarch Chu, holding the ruler, was about to strike Chu Cichen's back, a move that startled Shen Ruojing. 

She immediately stepped forward. "Auntie, what are you doing? Don't..."

Matriarch Chu. "Jingjing, step aside. I'll beat this unfilial son to death today. He actually dares to treat you wrong..."

How could Shen Ruojing step aside?

In order to prevent Chu Cichen from being hit, she had to stubbornly say. "No, auntie, he agreed, he agreed!"
