Jiahui smiled and said, “Then you’ve found the right person. There’s no one more romantic than Dr. Song’s husband!”
Song Ning only smiled and did not say anything.
Fu Ting quickly asked Jiahui about the identity of Song Ning’s husband.
However, before Jiahui could reply, Song Ning interjected, “Is Miss Fu local?”
Fu Ting smiled and replied, “No, but I studied at M University. I went abroad for a few years, and when I returned to the city, I found that it has changed a lot…”
Song Ning said, “Although the city has changed a lot, the people haven’t changed. Miss Fu must have a lot of family and friends here, right?”
Fu Ting replied, “Most of my classmates from back then are scattered in different places; it’s difficult to find all of them. Fortunately, I can still make new friends. For example, all of you. I really admire all of you very much and hope that we can be friends…”
Song Ning did not reply to those words while Fu Ting continued chatting with Jiahui.
Yang Yi said teasingly, “Jiahui is very friendly, and she talks non-stop as well…”
The group of people continued chatting happily.
At the same time, Song Ning silently brought her phone out and sent a message to Mu Chen that read: Help me look up a reporter named Fu Ting. She’s from M City’s News Express.”
After a brief moment, Mu Chen replied to Song Ning’s message. She quietly read Mu Chen’s reply while she listened in to the others’ conversation. At this point, the others in the group had already made plans to go to the beach for a barbecue during the weekend.
Fu Ting asked with a smile, “Dr. Song, why don’t you join us as well?”
Song Ning replied politely, “No, I haven’t been feeling well recently. Moreover, I usually stay home with my husband during the weekends to accompany his grandmother…”
Upon hearing Song Ning’s refusal, an expression of disappointment appeared on Fu Ting’s face. Then, she said, “Come on. This is a rare chance for us to gather. It’s fine if you bring your family along…”
Jiahui was spurred on by these words. She said enthusiastically, “Ningning, let’s go and have some fun. I’ve heard of the place Fu Ting mentioned; it’s a very nice place!”
Song Ning thought about it for a moment before she said, “I’ll have to ask if my husband will be free at that time…”
Jiahui hurriedly said, “There’s no need to ask. As long as you agree to come with us, Mu Chen and Cheng Che will definitely come along…”
Song Ning glanced at Fu Ting before she finally replied, “Alright, let’s meet this weekend.”
Fu Ting smiled as though she was delighted and relieved that Song Ning finally agreed to join them.
Song Ning’s gaze deepened as she looked at Fu Ting…
…
After work, Mu Chen and Cheng Chen came to pick Song Ning and Jiahui up respectively.
Their senior brothers sighed when they saw this.
“I really didn’t expect we’ll have to give Jiahui away so soon after Song Ning got married…”
Jiahui flushed with embarrassment and chased after her seniors to playfully beat them up.
Mu Chen and Song Ning left first, leaving Cheng Che behind to wait for Song Ning.
While Mu Chen was driving, he asked, “Why did you ask about Fu Ting earlier?”
Song Ning made herself comfortable before she replied, ” As soon as she spoke earlier, I found her voice really familiar. Then, I realized she was a customer who came into the store yesterday and was adamant about getting a membership card. I just can’t help but feel she has ulterior motives. I have a feeling she came to the hospital today because of me so I decided to ask for your help to investigate her…”
Song Ning continued to say, “However, based on your report, there’s nothing suspicious about her except for the fact that she’s Ye Cheng’s girlfriend. No matter how I thought about it, our interests don’t coincide. She invited us to the beach this weekend, and Jiahui agreed on my behalf. Since I still can’t guess her intention, I didn’t continue to refuse the invitation.
Mu Chen’s car came to a stop at the red light at this moment. His hands rested on the steering wheel as he turned to look at Song Ning with a deep gaze and said, “I hope our daughter will be like you in the future; smart and calm. That way, she won’t be deceived…”
The corners’ of Song Ning’s lips curled up into a smile as she said, “Did you eat honey today? Why are your words so sweet?” After a beat, she asked, “What you do think her intention is for approaching me?”
Mu Chen turned back to look at the road; the traffic light had turned green. As he began to drive again, he said, “Fu Ting is Fu Guo’s cousin.”
