After Song Ning dialed Jiahui’s number, it rang for a long time before a mechanical female voice rang from the other end of the line.

“The number you’ve dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”

Song Ning frowned. ‘Where did she leave her phone?’

At this moment, Mu Lang looked Song Ning and shook her hand as he said, “Call Uncle! Call Uncle!”

Song Ning lowered her head and looked at her son; she could not help but smile. After dialing Cheng Che’s number, she handed the phone to Mu Lang and asked, “Baby, do you want to talk to Uncle?”

Mu Lang put the phone against his ear, clearly familiar with the phone.

“Sister-in-law?” Cheng Che’s voice rang from the other end of the line.

“Uncle, I want Aunty!” Mu Lang said with his childish voice.

“Baby, what do you mean?” Cheng Che asked.

“Ask Aunty to buy apples for Mu Lang!” Mu Lang said.

Cheng Che smiled before he said, “Aunty isn’t coming over to the house today. If you want apples, I’ll bring you to buy apples later, okay? I’m already home.”

Following that, the sounds of footsteps promptly rang in the air. Soon enough, Cheng Che and Mu Chen walked in.

“Daddy!”

After Song Ning put Mu Lang down, he ran over to Mu Chen with his short legs. He had completely forgotten that he had just complained to his mother about his father saying he was a little overweight.

Mu Chen picked his son up and kissed the side of his son’s head. “Why do you want Aunty to buy you apples?”

Mu Lang had completely forgotten about the apples once he saw his father. Upon hearing his father’s words, he looked behind Mu Chen and said, “Aunty?”

Cheng Che instinctively turned to look back as well. Then, he reached out to stroke Mu Lang’s head and said, “Aunty isn’t here. I thought she was here. You really scared me.”

Mu Chen slapped Cheng Che’s hand away playfully before he said, “Did you do something wrong? Why would you be scared if Jiahui were here?”

Cheng Che rolled his eyes and said, “Hey, hey, don’t say these kinds of words! Why are you always trying to cause trouble for me?” Then, he turned to Song Ning, who was standing at the side, and said, “Sister-in-law, I really don’t think he acts like my brother. Why don’t you be my sister, and he’ll be my brother–in-law from now on?”

Song Ning smiled. It had been a while since the brother bantered playfully like this.

Mu Chen said unhappily, “Keep dreaming! If I were your brother-in-law, I’d be bullied to death by you.”

Cheng Che said righteously, “That’s right! I want a brother-in-law who’d let me do whatever I want; a brother-in-law who’s easy to bully. What do you think, Sister?”

Cheng Che deliberately emphasized the word ‘sister’.

Mu Chen rolled his eyes as he continued walking with his son in his arms. His son had just reminded him again that he wanted to eat an apple.

Meanwhile, Song Ning asked Cheng Che, “Did Jiahui call you? I just called her, but she didn’t pick up the call.”

Cheng Che said, “No. She’s going back to see her parents today. Maybe she was eating so she didn’t hear the phone ring. It’s really hard to contact her. When I call her, she hardly picks up. I can only wait for her to call me.”

Cheng Che complained a little.

Song Ning smiled. “Your timing is just bad. When we’re working, how can we answer calls? It’s fine when we’re off work.”

Cheng Che said sullenly, “Sister-in-law, tell Grandma to pick another date for us. I want to get married as soon as possible.”

Song Ning said with a smile, “It’s only half a year away. We still have a lot of things to prepare. What’s the rush?”

Cheng Che frowned. “I don’t feel at ease. I just want to quickly marry her and live a happy life with her. At that time, my life will be complete.”

Cheng Che was very relaxed in front of Song Ning. He always felt a sense of security when he was with her. Sometimes, he wondered if they were siblings in their previous lives.

Song Ning knew what Cheng Che was worried about so she said to comfort him, “Don’t worry. Jiahui will never leave you. She’s someone who’s very loyal. She knows your feelings and trusts you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to be with you.”
