Ning Qianyu stared at the man in front of her. He was wearing a luxurious shirt with an elegant demeanor, revealing a noble aura, did not look like a person who would come to this noodle store for breakfast.
"What's the matter?" Mu Shengchen put down his chopsticks and looked at Ning Qianyu.
"Nothing," Ning Qianyu was slightly flustered and she lowered her head to eat the noodles as she blushed.
Ning Qianyu, you're really getting out of hand, you actually peeked at the man.
She did not notice that Mu Shengchen slightly smirked when she lowered her head.
Mu Shengchen's appearance was already the focus of attention, with the fact that he was in a wheelchair, people started to gossip at him.
"He's so handsome and charming! Unfortunately..."
"Such a charming man but he's a cripple!"
"Such a waste, sitting in a wheelchair at such a young age, I'm afraid he won't be able to get married..."
Ning Qianyu frowned as she looked at the people around her with dissatisfaction and glanced at Mu Shengchen, who was sitting opposite of her with an expressionless face as if he did not hear the gossips around him.
It was heartbreaking to see him like that.
Ning Qianyu put down the chopsticks in her hands with a loud smack, causing the people around them to soften their voices.
"Hubby, I already told you not to come to this kind of place for breakfast. People here are lack manners, what's the point of gossiping about others?!"
When the surrounding people heard Ning Qianyu's words, they immediately zipped up their mouths. As for those who said that Mu Shengchen could not get married, their faces turned ashen as if they had eaten a fly.
Mu Shengchen gazed at Ning Qianyu dotingly as the layer of ice in his eyes started to melt.
"Let's go to the Pi Hu Manor tomorrow. I've heard that they've launched a new dish, Snow Toad Congee. It's good for your skin."
Ning Qianyu originally planned to play solo, not expecting Mu Shengchen to cooperate with her. She was startled and quickly responded, "Alright," With a happy smile on her face, making the people around her felt envious.
It was already enviable for couples to love each other so much.
Pi Hu Manor was the most luxurious restaurant in City A. There were not many people who had the opportunity to go to the restaurant. Therefore, everyone's eyes were filled with jealousy and envy.
Ning Qianyu seemed to be satisfied with the reaction of the crowd. She then raised her voice and said, "Boss, bill please."
The owner immediately ran over and glanced at Ning Qianyu and Mu Shengchen with a smile on his face, then he said, "A total of 20 dollars."
Mu Shengchen froze when he was about to take out his wallet while Ning Qianyu, who was sitting opposite him, burst into laughter. The Young Master Mu had barely even stepped out of his house, other than credit cards in his wallet, there must be no cash with him.
With a smile, Ning Qianyu took out 100 dollars from her bag and passed it to the boss, "Boss, here, keep the change."
Since they were acting to be a couple who were deeply in love, they would need to act until the end.
Under the eager gazes of the crowd, Ning Qianyu happily pushed Mu Shengchen out of the noodle store.
It was unexpected for Mu Shengchen to follow Ning Qianyu down to visit her mother in the hospital. Last time, when her mother was in surgery, he had stayed with her at the hospital for a whole day and left hurriedly without informing. It was impossible that she was not disappointed with his behavior.
Ning Qianyu stole a glance at the man in the elevator and felt slightly uneasy.
The elevator door opened with a ringing sound. Ning Qianyu hesitated then pushed Mu Shengchen out of the elevator.
As they walked towards the ward, they met many familiar doctors and nurses who greeted her.
"Miss Ning, good morning!"
When they noticed Mu Shengchen, they could not help but give him another glance.
Ning Qianyu replied very naturally, "Good morning!"
When they arrived at her mother's ward, Ning Qianyu opened the door and pushed Mu Shengchen in.
"Qianyu, why are you so early today..." When she saw Mu Shengchen, who was sitting in the wheelchair, Ning Shujun's smile stiffened. She recognized the man at first glance as her daughter's husband from the marriage certificate. The only thing she could not accept was that he was handicapped.
"Mom, Shengchen is free today, so we came together to visit you," Ning Qianyu stop the wheelchair and walked towards Ning Shujun.
Ning Shujun did not respond, the entire ward filled with a strange awkward atmosphere.
Mu Shengchen did not show any reaction on the outside, but the hands clenching on the wheelchair's handles revealed his true feelings.
He originally thought that he was mentally prepared for this, yet he was still not ready.
Ning Qianyu had already predicted her mother's reaction. Therefore, she looked at her mother with pleading eyes as if she was saying since she chose Mu Shengchen, she would not regret it.
She looked at her daughter heartbreakingly, then shifted her gaze to the coat on her shoulder and looked at Mu Shengchen, who was only wearing a shirt. Just this small detail touched Ning Shujun's heart.
He really loved Qianyu! Ning Shujun sighed in her heart.
Staring at her daughter, Ning Shujun snappily said, "He specifically came to visit me and you're leaving him alone there?"
After hearing her mother's words, Ning Qianyu knew that she had accepted Mu Shengchen and felt relieved.
"Oops, I've forgotten" Ning Qianyu stuck out her tongue and pushed Mu Shengchen to Ning Shujun's bedside.
Ning Shujun sized Mu Shengchen up. Honestly, other than being a cripple, there was nothing to be picky about.
"I'm sorry, due to various reasons, I could only visit you today," Mu Shengchen's tone was filled with respect.
"Qianyu told me that you're very busy with work," Ning Shujun's probing gaze fell on Mu Shengchen.
"Yes," Mu Shengchen looked at Ning Qianyu awkwardly.
Ning Qianyu hugged Ning Shujun and said coquettishly, "Mom, you said that when he comes over, you'll scold him for me."
Mu Shengchen had seen Ning Qianyu being happy and sad before, but he had never seen Ning Qianyu acting cute, not knowing that she would have such a childish side.
"He's perfect, how could I scold him? But you, you have to take good care of Shengchen," Ning Shujun patted Ning Qianyu on her forehead and jokingly scolded her.
"Mom, but I'm your daughter. How could you be so biased? Hmph!" Ning Qianyu pouted.
"Did you just realize? Isn't it too late?" Ning Shujun rolled her eyes.
Looking at the loving atmosphere between them, Mu Shengchen felt that this was the feeling of a family he wanted.
Ning Qianyu walked Mu Shengchen out of the hospital and stopped in front of the car, "Thank you for accompanying me to visit her."
"It's what I'm supposed to do," When Mu Shengchen said that, his expression became slightly unnatural.
"You can go to work on your own thing first. I'll go back later to cook dinner," After saying that, Ning Qianyu opened the car door and helped Mu Shengchen into the car. Thinking that she was still wearing Mu Shengchen's coat, she was about to take it off, however, Mu Shengchen held her hand and stopped her, "Wear it, you're still wearing a gown inside. Ye Xi should be able to come back in time to pick you up later."
Ning Qianyu could only felt that the heat from from his hand touching hers.
"Alright," She answered as she hung her head.
Mu Shengchen let go of his hand and closed the door,just in a glimpse of an eye, the car disappear into the traffic.
Ning Qianyu touched on her wrist that Mu Shengchen was holding and returned to the ward.
"Did he leave?" Ning Shujun asked indifferently while lifting her eyelids.
"Yes. Do you want some water, mom? I'll get you some," After saying that, Ning Qianyu went to get some water, but Ning Shujun called her out, "Qianyu, come here, I've something to ask you."
