Chapter 451 My Honor is Yours
After Chen Zhan Ning was sure that Zhou Rong didn't mind his background, he would ask Nini out to play whenever he was free and buy her all kinds of delicious food and beautiful clothes.
Chen Zhan Ning would also help with the housework under Nini's name before going home.
Nini always thought that Chen Zhan Ning's kindness to her was the care of a brother for his sister. She didn't think about anything else and continued to live her carefree life.
Nini didn't have that intention, so Zhou Rong naturally didn't give any advice, and let Chen Zhan Ning figure out a way to break the situation...
Nini has not yet agreed to be his partner. Chen Zhan Ning does not want his family to interfere too much, so he has not mentioned the topic to Xu Man and does not allow Chen Xiaowei to disclose it.
Before Chen Xiaowei returned to the army, she told Chen Zhan Ning that if he failed to get the girl within a year, he should not blame her for taking action.
Chen Zhanning ignored Chen Xiaowei and told her to return to the army, work with peace of mind, take good care of the children, and not to worry about other things. He had his own way...
On July 7, Jiangcheng held the annual Crossing the River Festival, and Chen Zhan Ning signed up to participate.
Nini took a day off to watch Chen Zhan Ning's competition.
Chen Zhan Ning won third place in the individual race and the government rewarded him with a medal, a certificate, a washbasin and a towel.
After Chen Zhan Ning attended the award ceremony, Nini hurried over to congratulate him: "Brother Zhan Ning, you are awesome, you are our pride!"
Chen Zhan Ning pinned his medal on Nini's chest and said with a smile: "My honor is also yours."
Nini: "You got this with great difficulty. You should keep it as a souvenir, not give it to me."
Chen Zhanning: "You are the most important person to me. Let alone a small medal, even my life can be entrusted to you."
Nini was stunned, her face flushed and she said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Chen Zhan Ning: "I know. I have wanted to tell you what I just said for a long time, but I felt that it would be insincere to say it dryly, so I participated in this river crossing race. I want to win a medal for you and prove my feelings to you with honor."
Nini bit her lower lip and asked awkwardly, "Aren't we brother and sister?"
Chen Zhanning: "Yes, but now I don't want to be your brother. Can you be my partner?"
Nini: "...I, my mind is a little confused, please let me calm down."
Chen Zhanning: "Okay, I'll take you home."
Along the way, Nini remained silent, and Chen Zhan Ning did not force her, giving her enough time to think.
When Zhou Rong got home from get off work, Nini slowly walked up to him, handed him the medal that Chen Zhan Ning had given her, and whispered, "Mom, Zhan Ning won third place today, and he gave me his medal."
Zhou Rong responded calmly: "Yeah."
Nini: "...He also asked me to be his girlfriend."
Zhou Rong: "Did you agree?"
Nini: "Not yet. This happened a little suddenly. I'm in a mess. I want to hear your opinion."
Zhou Rong: "How do you feel about him?"
Nini: "Being with him, I feel very secure and at ease. I don't have to worry about being schemed against. I can eat whatever I want, go wherever I want, and say whatever I want without any psychological burden.
If I don’t see him for a few days, I’ll be wondering what he’s doing, but once I see him, I’ll be very happy.”
Zhou Rong: "Don't you have the answer? What are you struggling with?"
Nini: "I used to treat him as a brother, but now I have to treat him as a boyfriend. The change is too big and it always feels unreal. In addition, I am worried that the identities of Aunt Man and Grandma Xue will affect you and your family."
Zhou Rong: "If I cared about your Aunt Man and the others' identities, I would have cut off ties with them long ago. Why would I write to them so often and allow you to interact with Zhan Ning?
We are all ordinary people. We should keep three parts of greed and lust to avoid being out of tune with the secular world; keep seven parts of seriousness to live a down-to-earth life; and leave the rest to God.
Since you have feelings for Zhan Ning, if you want to have a relationship, then go ahead and have a relationship. If you want to get married, tell me in advance. Don't worry about other things. It's none of your business.
Your mother, I am not a weak person! "
Nini: “Thank you, Mom!”
With Zhou Rong's support, Nini went to find Chen Zhan Ning the next day.
"I have many shortcomings. They have been with me for many years and I can't change them. If you are willing to accept them, we can date for a while. If we get along well, we can continue. If not, we can go our separate ways."
Chen Zhan Ning smiled: "No problem!"
After the two of them officially started dating, Chen Zhan Ning visited Zhou Rong's house more frequently.
Xu Man and his colleagues live in the garrison. It is inconvenient for Chen Zhan Ning to commute to get off work, so he usually lives in the unit dormitory.
Every day he would pick up Nini from get off work, help Zhou Rong's family prepare meals, clean the house, and then return to his dormitory.
In recent years, there are no more large meetings, and Jiang Wenjuan and her friends can chat with others in the alley like normal people.
Jiang Wenjuan saw Chen Zhanning running to Zhou Rong's house every day. When she got off work, she hurried over and asked gossipingly, "Your son-in-law is pretty good. He's good-looking and hardworking. He comes to do housework every day. When will you invite us to the wedding?"
Zhou Rong: "I don't know about this either. It depends on what the man wants."
Chen Zhan Ning, who was setting up the table in the living room, couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
On the weekend, Chen Zhan Ning went back home and told Xu Man that he and Nini were dating, hoping that she would go to Zhou Rong's house to propose.
Xu Man was stunned for a long while before she reacted and asked uncertainly, "You said you and Nini are dating and planning to get married?"
Chen Zhanning: “Yeah.”
Xu Man: "Does your Aunt Rong know about this?"
Chen Zhan Ning: "I know. I asked for her opinion before pursuing Nini."
Xu Man: "She didn't object? Or did you use my relationship with her to force her to agree?"
Chen Zhan Ning: "Mom, your son is not that bad, and Aunt Rong is more reasonable than you think. I told her that I like Nini, and she let me pursue her on my own."
Xu Man felt that things were not that simple. Although she and Zhou Rong were good friends, Zhou Rong had been in officialdom for a long time and it was impossible for him not to care about fame and fortune.
Even if Zhou Rong himself doesn't care, he will not ignore the thoughts and future of his family.
Xu Man was worried that Chen Zhan Ning was not telling the truth, so she went to Zhou Rong's unit to find her the next day.
Zhou Rong poured Xu Man a cup of tea and asked with a smile, "Why are you free to come and see me today?"
Xu Man: "Zhan Ning came home yesterday and said that he and Nini were dating and wanted to get married, so he asked me to propose."
Zhou Rong jokingly said, "So you are here to propose marriage today? But you come empty-handed, isn't that inappropriate?"
Xu Man: "...You really don't mind our identities?"
Zhou Rong: "Your words really hurt my heart. I have been dating you for so many years, risking my life. Now you ask me if I mind your identity. Does that mean I was wrong before?"
Xu Man: “…”
