Sir, How About A Marriage

Mu Chen clenched his hands tightly, unable to vent his pain.

Upon seeing this, Song Ning moved to his side and hugged him.

Mu Chen rested his head against her chest as he said sorrowfully, "The person my father wanted to marry back then was my aunt. However, my aunt broke off the engagement and eloped with another man. In order to preserve their reputation, my maternal grandfather and grandmother decided to marry my mother off in her sister's place instead since they were twins. My mother did not want to deceive the Mu family and came clean about her identity to Grandma and my father despite the Liang family's wish."

"After the pain subsided, my father forgave my mother, and Grandma accepted her. To be honest, if there weren't any feelings between my parents at that time, they would not have given birth to me. My mother was stubborn, especially when it came to love and marriage."

"After marrying into the Mu family, my mother severed her ties with her family. She said when they used her as sister's replacement, essentially selling her off, she had already decided to sever ties with them. Therefore, she had no one to rely on since then and devoted herself wholeheartedly to Grandma, my father, and the Mu family."

"However, in the end, my father still betrayed her. What made it worse was he betrayed her with my aunt who put her in this predicament in the first place. How could my mother endure something like this? Her life was ruined by her parents, her sister, and her husband. In the end, even Grandma and I couldn't pull her away from the edge; she could no longer hold on. For a period, she found meaning in Yi Yao at the point when she was so badly hurt that she was barely holding on. Unfortunately, in the end, it was not enough; she no longer had the strength nor courage to hold on..."

This was the first time Mu Chen had spoken so much in a breath.

Song Ning could only hug him and pat him gently. She understood the pain he was suffering. Alas, although she could empathize with him, it was impossible for her to share his pain. All she could do was stay by his side and love him unconditionally. She would give him all her love to heal his wounds and fill the hole in his heart.

Mu Chen said tiredly, "Song Ning,
