Chapter 807: So This is What it Feels Like to be Pregnant
“There are some things that I don’t say aloud. You know who I’m doing everything for. Wait until three years from now, when the time comes, Jianchuan will be ours. On the surface, I say that I’m taking care of Sheng Bowen for you, but in reality, I don’t intend to let anyone in the Sheng family go.
“If you’re willing to contribute, then I will count you in. Of course, if you still care about old times, then I won’t force you.”
Now that things had come to this, how could he turn back?
“I’m willing.”
“Then you should get along well with Ah Yu,” Jin Bo said meaningfully. “There will be many more opportunities in the future. Young man, calm down.”
Sheng Kai nodded. Although Jin Bo still did not give him any missions, at least he wanted him to know what he was doing and why.
This way, he knew why his G.o.dfather was so afraid of the Sheng family and the Shen family. They were both stumbling blocks.
“G.o.dfather, with Sheng Xiao around, the Sheng family will not be easy to deal with…”
“Sheng Xiao is not easy to deal with, but there are others who are. In this huge Jianchuan, who doesn’t know where Sheng Xiao’s heart is? If you want to weaken his power, then you have to touch his heart. It’s just that now isn’t the time.”
Heart.
He was hinting at Mu Qiqi.
Mu Qiqi was the daughter of the Shen family. Touching this person would at least make the Sheng family and the Shen family lose their bearings.
“Ah Kai, when you do something big, you must know how to give up.”
Sheng Kai nodded secretly. “I understand. If you need help, let me know at any time.”
“It’s too late today. Go home. I know that you’ve been sleeping in the company recently. Listen to me. There can’t only be one woman. Don’t put yourself through this. There’s always someone else outside. There’s no need to be unhappy because of her.”
“I understand, G.o.dfather.”
Jin Bo was very satisfied. He patted Sheng Kai on the shoulder. “Do your best.”
As it all turns out, Mu Qiqi was the actual target…
However, Mu Qiqi had been under Sheng Xiao and she learned from him. Her personality and style of doing things were very similar to his. Did Jin Bo think that girl was easy to deal with?
No.
He had suffered too much under Mu Qiqi’s hands. Perhaps this was also why Jin Bo wanted to keep him alive.
However, Jin Bo was right. Without Mu Qiqi, Sheng Xiao would lose his heart. Without Sheng Xiao, the Shen family and the Sheng family would lose their protection.
It would be easy for them to make a move then.
..
Mu Qiqi did not know that she had become a target. When she returned home, she told Mama Sheng about the grand occasion at the hotel.
Sheng Xiao sat at the side and listened to her nonsense. However, the smile on his face could not be hidden.
Mama Sheng did not say anything. She could tell that Mu Qiqi was full of admiration for her son.
Hence, she smiled as well. “Xiao Qiqi, it’s only in your heart that he’s a treasure. That no matter what, he’s handsome.”
“So you don’t think he’s handsome.”
“He’s my son. How can he be handsome? I’ll never hate him even if he’s ugly.”
Mu Qiqi thought about it and realized that this was the reason.
Also, she had only paid attention to whether Sheng Xiao was wearing a suit or not today. She had forgotten that she had not seen Xu Che for a few days.
“Where’s Xu Che?”
“He went home to visit his family,” Sheng Xiao replied naturally. “He still has a few more days to go.”
“I’ve never heard you talk about Xu Che’s family.”
“It’s been a tiring day. Let’s go upstairs and take a shower.” With that, Sheng Xiao got up.
Mu Qiqi followed behind him, but she did not follow him into the bathroom. She only waited for Sheng Xiao to soak in the bathtub before she took a pillow and stuffed it into her stomach. She walked up to Sheng Xiao and said, “So this is what it feels like to be pregnant.”
Sheng Xiao opened his eyes and saw her messing around. His face turned black. “What trick are you playing now?”
“Didn’t Mom say that all mothers won’t hate their children? I just want to try and imagine what it would feel like.”
Sheng Xiao tugged at her arm to bring her closer to his handsome face. There was a hint of helplessness between his brows. “What exactly are you hinting at?”
“I’m not hinting at anything. I know I can’t give birth to your child yet.” Mu Qiqi took the pillow out. “I just occasionally think about what it would feel like to have your child and give birth to your baby.”
After Sheng Xiao heard this, he let go of her. “I plan to have a child after I’m thirty-five.”
“I’d be twenty-seven!” Mu Qiqi protested. “The best age for a man to have a child is at thirty-two.”
“Then I’ll have a child at thirty-two. Don’t think about it before then.” Sheng Xiao said this on purpose. For the sake of compromise, he would definitely meet in the middle.
Reality proved that he knew her well enough.
When Mu Qiqi was done being disappointed, Sheng Xiao pulled her into the bathtub with one hand. “Having a child is not as easy as you think. When you’re twenty-four years old, you’ve only just started working. It’s not suitable for you to have a child at all.”
“Don’t forget that you’re still young just because you’re envious of others.”
Mu Qiqi leaned into Sheng Xiao’s arms and nodded gently. “As long as it’s for you, I’ll do anything even if it’s crazy. Look at me, I know.”
Actually, Sheng Xiao knew that Mu Qiqi had already tested him many times for the sake of a child.
However, her situation was different from Feng Shanshan’s.
“Be good and don’t cause trouble for me.”
“When did I cause trouble for you?” Mu Qiqi defended herself. She went to and from cla.s.ses on time and went to Sanda martial art cla.s.ses during the holidays without break. There was no other student who was more obedient than her.
“I only provoked you once in the afternoon.”
The time when Sheng Xiao stood on the stage for his speech while all Mu Qiqi could think of was undressing him.
“Weren’t you pretty happy then?” Mu Qiqi drew circles on his chest. “Since you’ve released in the day, why don’t you let me sleep at night?”
“Mm.” Sheng Xiao nodded without any objections.
However, the truth was…
“Didn’t you say that you would let me sleep?”
“You sleep, and I’ll touch mine.”
He was indeed very careful in order not to have a child just yet. The scariest thing was that he knew her menstrual cycle very well. He knew exactly when she would get pregnant and when she wouldn’t.
Mu Qiqi thought to herself, how great would it be if she was really pregnant? She could rest for ten months!
..
After Sheng Xiao’s inauguration ceremony, Sheng Bowen invited Shen Yu for a drink on a cruise s.h.i.+p.
He looked really happy that his heavy burden had been taken away by Sheng Xiao.
“In a few days, I’m going to hike up a mountain. Want to come along?” Sheng Bowen asked Shen Yu. He was in a good mood. “It’d just be me. Yufei has cla.s.s and can’t leave. I’m bored so I’m looking for a partner.”
“Which mountain?” Shen Yu asked.
“There’s only Mount Yueying nearby with a nice view. Will you join me?” Sheng Bowen was in high spirits.
