Mu Chen rose to his feet and gently hugged Song Ning. "Ning, you're no longer Ning Xia. You're now Song Ning, the medical student. You're also Mrs. Mu. We have our own home now. I love you and so does Grandma. The others are irrelevant. Don't torture yourself and be sad anymore, okay? My heart aches when I see you like this."
Song Ning lifted her hands and wrapped them around Mu Chen's waist as tears streamed down her face.
Mu Chen gently stroked her head, letting her vent her emotions to her heart's content. He did not dare to imagine how she had gotten through those years. Her calmness and independence were all gained from her hardships. Although she had erected a wall around her heart, she was not as strong as people imagined her to be. When faced with the core issue, she would collapse completely.
After calming down, Song Ning told him the story of her parents.
