Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1917 - 1919: Enjoying the Show So Much, Huh?

Ning Ge’s background wasn’t exactly honorable. Throughout his childhood and growing up, there were always people who called him an illegitimate child, born to the second wife. Even though his mother was later legitimized, it couldn’t change the fact that he was born without a recognized status.

However, up to now, through all his growth—whether in his personal life or during his time as a spy, experiencing life and death with his brothers—he had faced setbacks, but nothing matched the present situation.

That’s right, Ning Ge felt an unprecedented sense of defeat with this stubborn woman, Song Jiaying. He had really taken a big fall and had no choice but to acknowledge it.

Just think, a woman who had already given birth to a child, why remain so stubborn? Even if she looked down on me, shouldn’t she at least think about the child? Couldn’t she provide him with a complete home, with both a father and a mother?

Just imagine that kind of family of three—how warm and cozy it would be.

When Ning Ge thought of that scenario, his heart felt hot. Yet, when he thought of Song Jiaying’s cold, icy face that pushed people away, he felt utterly deflated.

He had no idea how to get her to agree to marry him.

What was most infuriating was that Cheng Su had known all along but had kept it from him. It was truly maddening.

When Cheng Su caught Ning Ge’s gaze, she felt a bit guilty and looked away.

Cheng Yaozu and the others alike, although they were not the first to find out, they knew afterward and didn’t say anything either, as if they were accomplices. It really wasn’t decent.

Cheng Yaozu coughed and said, "Now that you’re here, how come you didn’t bring the mother and son with you? Aren’t you afraid they’ll run off?"

"I’m here to settle scores in the autumn with you," Ning Ge sneered coldly, "Each of you, watching me hit a wall, watching me bang my head, enjoying the show happily?"

"Well, I was just taking Cheng Su’s lead. She didn’t let me say anything." Cheng Yaozu immediately threw Cheng Su under the bus.

Cheng Su glared at him fiercely, then squeezed out a smile and said to Ning Ge, "I, it was a matter of integrity. If I told you, even if you two ended up together later, Song Jiaying would definitely think I was untrustworthy. How could we interact genuinely afterward? I figured, you know, the Capital is your turf, both your families have some status, you would sense something was amiss eventually, and she couldn’t hide forever. So, I didn’t say anything!"

"Just keep bluffing!" Ning Ge snorted.

Cheng Su hurriedly said, "I’m not bluffing, I really thought it through. You see, the Song family has a reputation to maintain. Given the Ning Family’s current momentum, wouldn’t they want to form an alliance? Although Song Jiaying is currently being stubborn, the Song family won’t let her stay that way forever."

"You haven’t witnessed how stubborn she is!" Ning Ge’s tone softened. "She doesn’t let me anywhere near the mother and son, like a mother beast, and won’t even let me see my son!" As he spoke, he felt a wave of grievance; he had a part in this son, so why couldn’t he see him? Not even allowed to hold him.

"If you act like you’re going to snatch the child, of course, she’d be on guard against you." Cheng Su rolled her eyes.

Ning Ge glared at her.

"Cheng Su’s right. For now, you have to sweet-talk her, treat her like a queen, put in more effort, and get her to let her guard down first," Cheng Yaozu added, "Women, after all, are always soft-hearted. See how I pursued my wife back then? I acted shamelessly, like a deadbeat, almost to the point of kneeling to lick her shoes before I got her. Old Ning, for now, don’t think about the child. Once you’ve settled the bigger issue, the little one will be easily sorted out."

Ying Xiaoya pinched him, how could he say that.
