Chapter 567: Why Divorce?
When he saw Hu Ran curled up on the sofa in the ward, he walked in quietly and sat down beside her.
Hu Ran suddenly woke up with a frightened expression. “You…”
“I’m worried that you will be afraid, so I’m here to stay with you.” Sheng Bowen took off his jacket and put it on Hu Ran’s shoulder. “Go to sleep, I’m here.”
Right then, Hu Ran felt her whole body warm up. Because Sheng Bowen made her feel that it was a very precious moment when a man was willing to lend her his shoulders.
Why divorce when they were already like this?
What a fool.
…
The next day, in Banyan Courtyard.
Sheng Xiao received a courier from the United States. It was the certificate of marriage registration between him and the little one. Only when they had this doc.u.ment was their registration considered successful.
“What’s this?” Mu Qiqi came close to take a look. Seeing that it was the doc.u.ment she signed, she flushed. “We’ve finally received it.”
“Why’s your face so red? Didn’t you say that we’ve been a couple since a long time ago?” Sheng Xiao couldn’t help teasing her while holding the doc.u.ment.
“I’m married at the age of twenty. It makes me look as if I want so much to get married. Of course, I will feel shameful,” said Mu Qiqi while covering her face.
“Who was the one who wanted so much to eat me at the age of seventeen?”
Mu Qiqi glared at Sheng Xiao. He might brag about this for his whole life, that she fell in love with him and pursued him first. So what?
The law didn’t forbid a girl to pursue a man.
Thinking about this, Mu Qiqi felt rather at ease. She hugged the certificate tightly. “If you bully me in the future, I will complain to Father and Mother.”
“You don’t have to. They always side with you.”
It was early in the morning, and the two had started being affectionate while standing in the yard. They could not stop kissing until Mama Sheng b.u.mped into them when walking out through the door.
“Oh my, look at these two children. It’s still early in the morning. You don’t even know how to control yourselves.”
“I’ll go to school now.” Mu Qiqi was embarra.s.sed when Mama Sheng saw them. She gave the certificate to Sheng Xiao and got into the car.
Sheng Xiao kept the certificate and followed her.
Mama Sheng smiled. She and her husband had seen enough of these. They felt glad that their son and daughter-in-law had such a good relations.h.i.+p. She had nothing to ask for anymore.
After getting into the car, Sheng Xiao became serious. “At half past five, Xu Che will pick you up. He will bring along a dress for you.”
“Okay, I won’t forget,” Mu Qiqi replied. And before he got out of the car, she gave Sheng Xiao a peck on his cheek.
She had been his wife for some time but still she was so shy.
…
After the rain in Jianchuan, the sky was clear.
After Sheng Kai had thought about it all night, he returned to his former glamorous self the next day. He decided to report to work after breakfast. He was still the vice CEO after all.
Seeing him cheer up, Gu Ziling breathed a sigh of relief. “You won’t endure it for too long.”
“We still have a long way to go. But, about getting a child, let me consider it and make preparations for it.”
“I have waited for so long. I can wait a bit more,” Gu Ziling answered. “When you go to Huang Yao, be patient with everything.”
“Since I’m ready to face it, I’m expecting all sorts of situations. Don’t worry.”
Sheng Bowen hadn’t expected that Sheng Kai would cheer up so fast and appear at the regular meeting of Huang Yao.
Because of Sheng Bowen’s personality, the dynamics of Huang Yao changed as well. He emphasized more on strengthening the foundation instead of expanding the business. His management philosophy was different from Sheng Kai’s which was adventurous and had more risks. He was more cautious and wanted stability.
And of course, Sheng Kai did not have the power to say anything as everything in Huang Yao must now be according to Sheng Bowen’s arrangements.
The VVIP Night of Huang Yao was around the corner. Thinking back about Mu Qiqi’s extraordinary planning last year, Sheng Bowen wanted to ask her if she had any new ideas for this year. Because everyone now had higher expectations for the event this year.
However, since Mu Qiqi had started her career as a forensics doctor, she was very busy. Hence, Eighth Brother might not agree to let her help.
After the regular meeting, Sheng Kai returned to his office. On the way back, he heard people criticizing him.
“How unexpected. He still has the face to come and work as the vice CEO. Huang Yao was nearly destroyed by him before.”
“Well said. Luckily, it is Third Young Master taking charge now. Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened to Huang Yao.”
Sheng Kai pretended not to hear anything. Out of his expectation, Sheng Bowen appeared behind the staff. “Don’t you have work to do? You still have the time to gossip?”
The staff paled when they saw Sheng Bowen and quickly dispersed.
However, Sheng Kai was not thankful for Sheng Bowen’s action.
“I didn’t beg you to do this.”
“I help you not because you are my brother. I will do the same for any person.” Then, the brothers walked in different ways.
Sheng Kai really hated Sheng Bowen’s arrogance. Now that he was in power, it was as if everyone would need his care. Did he think he was G.o.d who came to save the refugees?
Sooner or later, he would tell Sheng Bowen what kind of terrible consequences would be brought by excessive kindness.
…
In the afternoon, at Sheng Ting University.
Since Feng Shanshan did not come to cla.s.s, Mu Qiqi felt a bit lonely.
She wondered how she was in Tang Yan’s house.
She made her a copy of her notes since the exam was nearing. Although they were not besties, they were no longer enemies.
One could say that these two proud women were sympathetic toward each other to a certain extent.
Feng Shanshan knew that Mu Qiqi was very G.o.d-like in some areas. Once Mu Qiqi regarded someone as her friend, she would take the person seriously.
However, she was hoping more for Tang Yan to accept her suggestion, to spare her a small corner of the house.
For this, she woke up early to make breakfast. Although she did not see Tang Yan, if he left with the breakfast she prepared, it could be considered his affirmation in disguise.
She wondered if things would go smoothly if she mentioned this to him at night.
Since Feng Shanshan didn’t call her, Mu Qiqi reckoned she must be comfortable and happy now, so she didn’t pay too much attention to her. After all, she had to attend a function with Xiaoxiao tonight.
Of course, she was not expecting to see a suspicious person.
The function started at seven. So, Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao arrived at the venue at six fifty.
“We’ll just stay here briefly and leave before eight if possible.”
As Sheng Xiao kept a low profile, he did not really like such occasions. He preferred to spend time with like-minded people.
Mu Qiqi nodded and grabbed Sheng Xiao’s arm naturally. Although she was still young, her aura was very strong. She was undoubtedly the woman trained by Sheng Xiao himself.
