Mu Chen stood quietly next to Song Ning and held her hands.
Song Ning looked at him and smiled.
Mu Chen quietly asked, "Is there anything else you need help with?"
Song Ning smiled. "I'm waiting for you and Cheng Che to paste a few couplets. They need to be pasted quite high up so I'll need both of your heights to do it..."
Mu Chen smiled. "Okay."
Song Ning called out to Cheng Che and asked for his help to paste the couplets as well. Once they were done pasting the couplets, they could start eating.
Everyone busied themselves with their respective tasks, covering up awkwardness with their laughter.
Jiang Jin could barely hide her happiness. Her eyes would follow her son, Mu Qing, and her grandson, Mu Chen. Her days were not long, and she had to cherish rare moments such as this one.
Meanwhile, Song Ning secretly observed Liang Zhou. She hoped Liang Zhou would not say anything inappropriate to ruin the atmosphere and destroy Jiang Jin's happiness. However, so far, Liang Zhou had only quietly stayed next to Mu Qing's side and did not approach Jiang Jin; Liang Zhou seemed rather afraid of Jiang Jin.
On the other hand, Mu Chen seemed especially clingy toward Song Ning today. He disregarded everyone and kept a firm hold on her hand. She did not shrug his hand away; she knew he was very vulnerable right now and must be thinking about his mother.
The atmosphere turned even livelier during dinner.
Jiang Jin picked a few dishes for her son and grandson since she knew their preferences. She looked extremely happy just watching them eat.
