Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 554 Fried Eggs

Ye Cheng was in a very good mood as he ate the breakfast the Zhuang Ning personally cooked.

Zhuang Ning had always been indifferent and cold like ice. However, that was what Ye Cheng liked about her. She made him feel calm, peaceful, and comfortable. None of the women around him were like her. He felt like she was a gift from the heavens. It was a pity that he had to wait so long before he finally met someone like her.

As Ye Cheng ate the porridge, he asked Zhuang Ning, who was sitting across from him and eating breakfast as well, “Zhuang Ning, what’s your schedule like?”.

Zhuang Ning shook her head. “I don’t know. These things are out of my control. I guess when the drama begins to air, I’ll probably have to participate in various events for publicity.” Ye Cheng nodded. “When the time comes, I’ll make sure to attend to support you.” A faint smile could be seen on Zhuang Ning’s lips as she said, “They’re just publicity events. There’s no need for you to attend them.”

Ye Cheng fell into a momentary daze as he looked at her smile. Then, he asked, “Then, is there anything I can do for you? Can you let me do something for you? Although I’m your boyfriend, I don’t feel like it at all. At least, let me do something for you so I can have a sense of presence in your life.”

Zhuang Ning’s smile deepened. Then, she pursed her lips before she said, “Ye Cheng, what’s with these kinds of old-fashioned romantic words?”

“Old-fashioned romantic words?” Ye Cheng furrowed his brows slightly.

Zhuang Ning seemed very happy. She covered her lips with her hand. She was clearly smiling widely.

Ye Cheng was stunned. Zhuang Ning rarely smiled. The media even gave her the nickname ‘Ice Queen’.

However, Zhuang Ning was very skilled in acting. Ye Cheng had seen her acting as a lively and cute young girl before and had seen her smile then, but it was just acting. Hence, he was stunned when he saw the smile on her face. He felt as though there would only be good things in his life from this moment onward.

Finally, Zhuang Ning stopped smiling. As she ate, she casually asked, “Why did you drink so much yesterday? Did you have to attend a gathering? Or did you encounter something that upset you?”

Ye Cheng’s expression gradually turned solemn. He lowered his head to eat. He did not answer her question. Instead, he suddenly said, “Zhuang Ning, let’s get married. Will you marry me?”

After saying these words, Ye Cheng was stunned. He had blurted these words out instinctively.

Zhuang Ning was also stunned. After a moment, she picked up a plate of fried eggs and placed it in front of Ye Cheng before she slowly said, “I practiced for a long time to get this perfect fried egg. Try it and see if the yolk is runny enough.” The light in Ye Cheng’s eyes dimmed. Then, he forced a smile on his face as he asked, “Why did you specifically practice frying eggs?”

Zhuang Ning softly said, “When I was young, my mother used to fry eggs for me. At that time, my family was poor so it was a luxury to be able to eat eggs. My mother had always been careful when frying eggs for me. That was the happiest time in my life.”

“Zhuang Ning…” Ye Cheng was stunned.

The corners of Zhuang Ning’s lips lifted as she said, “Do you think I’m very happy with nothing to worry about now? In fact, without my mother by my side, I don’t feel anything at all. In any case, I’ll slowly learn every dish my mother had cooked for me so that they’ll taste exactly the same as hers.”

Zhuang Ning sighed softly before she lowered her head to continue eating.

Upon hearing these words, Ye Cheng said tentatively, “Then, bring your mother here. I’ll find a bigger place for you to move into. You can support her now. Moreover, you… you have me as well…”
