Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Ning’s fingers that were holding the microphone turned white.
Mu Chen hugged her and kissed her gently on the forehead. He said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
The audience on and off the stage was in an uproar.
The fans below the stage all cried out and cheered for her when they saw Mu Chen’s deep affection for her. This was what love looked like.

Song Ning’s face turned slightly red. She gently pulled away from Mu Chen’s embrace but allowed him to hold her other hand. Then, she slowly said, “Everyone, please take a look at this dress I’m wearing. We named this the Xiu He dress. A designer from Zhuang Ji based this design on the work of Zhuang Ji’s founder, Zhuang Yi.”
She continued to say, “Zhuang Yi is my mother, and Zhuang Ji was founded by her and her good friend, Yun Yao. However, before I completed my undergraduate course, they left me one after another.”
She inhaled deeply before she said again, “Zhuang Ji has been criticized lately. Today, I’ll use this opportunity to clarify everything. The founder of Zhuang Ji is my mother, and the trademark is registered under my name. I am the sole owner of Zhuang Ji. No one, including Miss Yun Yao’s son, has the right to demand Zhuang Ji’s ownership from me.”
“Regarding Miss Yun Yao’s son’s ridiculous demand, you can speak to my lawyers. When my mother and aunt were around, they had written down the terms and conditions, and they were kept at Da Ming Law Firm. The lawyer in charge, Lawyer Yang, is better than I am at explaining all these legal matters. If any of you have doubts, you can refer to him. I hope the media will stop coming up with preposterous and baseless headlines. Otherwise, I’ll take legal actions.”
“As for the Ning family, during Zhuang Ji’s opening, my husband and I held a press conference. After that, all kinds of versions of the press conference were printed. Let me repeat myself: My name is Song Ning. According to the principal idea of Liao Fan’s four lessons, one shouldn’t be bound by fate, but by one’s actions. Ning Xia is part of my past, and I can’t change my past. However, Song Ning is my present and future. I have nothing to do with the Ning family,” Song Ning said calmly.
Song Ning’s refusal to acknowledge caused everyone present to fall silent. What happened for her to do such a thing? The Ning family lived in Cloudy Peak and was one of the top ten wealthy families in M City. The Ning family might even be in the top five in terms of wealth. The head of the Ning family, Ning Zhe, was her biological father and he had repeatedly expressed his intention to acknowledge her, but she still rejected him. To reject such a person, Song Ning must possess a lot of courage and determination.
Perhaps, Song Ning’s courage came from her in-laws. After all, the Mu family was even wealthier and more influential than the Ning family. With the Mu family as her support, it was no wonder she could confidently reject her father.
At this moment, a reporter asked loudly, “Miss Song, you refuse to return to the Ning family; is it because you’re now married into the Mu family?”

The question was undoubtedly rude.
Nevertheless, Song Ning was not angry. However, she was at a loss for words.
At this time, Mu Chen reached for the microphone before he asked Song Ning, “Can I answer this question?”
Everyone was impressed by Mu Chen’s act of protecting his wife. Although the question was rude, it was not too bad. However, it was enough for him to step forward to defend her. It seemed like he could bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.
Mu Chen said, “When I met Song Ning, she was just an ordinary student who’s in need of help with Zhuang Ji. I had no idea about her identity at all. Since I have experience running a business, she has asked for my help with Zhuang Ji. She wanted to save her mother’s legacy. Our relationship has nothing to do with our family backgrounds; our relationship is based on love. I promise to listen to Song Ning and respect her choices for the rest of my life. Now that we’re married, our home is a place of peace for us. It has nothing to do with our respective families…”
Mu Chen’s reply was very impactful; it was even more impactful than Song Ning’s earlier words.
That was right; the duo was so capable. Was there a need for them to rely on their families? Even if Mu Chen did not have the Mu family at his back, his skills were enough for him to make a name for himself. As for Song Ning, during the years without the Ning family, she managed to enter M University and studied to become a doctor! Most importantly, was there anyone as in love as the duo in this world?
The male host sighed. “Did the two of you save the universe in your previous lives? To be able to find such partners, I’m really envious…”
Mu Chen and Song Ning looked at each other and smiled.
Following that, a warm applause sounded from below.
At this time, the people on stage began to hug Song Ning one after another. All of them greeted her with her new name.
Song Ning choked, trying to hold back her tears that were brimming in her eyes and hanging from her eyelashes.
