Chapter 871: Had I Known That Someone Was Secretly Taking Pictures, I Would Have Dressed Better
When Mu Qiqi heard the news, she had just woken up from her afternoon nap. Seeing Fifth Aunt’s expression, she guessed that something had happened.
She did not need to ask. She only needed to take out her phone to take a look. In this information age, there was nothing that she could not know.
She searched the Internet. It did not take much effort. She could see her own news at a glance. It was as exciting as it could be.
The Fifth Aunt was afraid that she would be affected by the comments online, so she quickly sat down beside her and comforted her. “Don’t mind those comments. Anyway, it’s good that you have a husband with you. These people are being random. It’s no big deal.”
Mu Qiqi threw her phone away carelessly. It was just as Sheng Xiao had said.
In this world, Sheng Xiao was the one who knew her best.
“You’re not angry?”
“I am angry,” Mu Qiqi said angrily. “Had I known that someone was secretly taking pictures, I would have dressed better. They made me look so ugly.”
Fifth Aunt was speechless.
If it were any other girl, she would have long wanted to find a place to hide. Or rather, she would have run away to a place that no one knew. A girl’s reputation was very important.
“Fifth Aunt, I’m hungry. Do you have any more of the chicken soup this morning? It’s very delicious.”
Fifth Aunt smiled and quickly got up to get the chicken soup for her.
Mu Qiqi sighed. She thought that the paparazzi nowadays were too dedicated. Just then, Sheng Xiao called.
“Master Xiao, are you master diviner? I just woke up.”
“Recently, you’ve been sleeping until around three o’clock, so I’m calling at such a time. Have you seen the news?” Sheng Xiao stood in front of the French window in his office.
“I have.” Mu Qiqi pouted. “Which paparazzi took this secretly?”
“The paparazzi can’t get in. It might be a drone,” Sheng Xiao replied. “Stinky thing, I’m asking you about how you feel about it.”
“What’s the big deal? From the day I fell in love with you when I was seventeen, I already knew what kind of person I am. Do I need to be told that?” Mu Qiqi snorted. “Why? Are you envious that I can give birth at twenty-one or that I have a husband like you? If you’re capable, you can give birth too.”
“I knew it…” Sheng Xiao curled the corners of his lips. If Song Bozhi wanted to use these things to hurt Mu Qiqi, hurt the Shen family, and keep him busy, it might not be enough.
“Alright, I’m really not worried about it. You can continue with your work. I’m going to continue my handicraft career.”
“Don’t use a knife,” Sheng Xiao specifically instructed.
“I know, I know. What a naggy old man.” With that, Mu Qiqi quickly hung up.
When Sheng Xiao heard what she called him, he immediately had the urge to strangle her to death.
On the other side, Fifth aunt brought the chicken soup and placed it in front of Mu Qiqi. She was smiling as well. “Mr. Sheng dotes on you.”
“He loves to worry. When I met him, he was twenty-six years old. Fifth Aunt, you’ve never heard his cynical tone. He made Old Master Sheng so angry that he frowns at the mouth every day. Now that he’s old, he’s no longer energetic!”
When Fifth Aunt heard this, she laughed so hard that she couldn’t stand up straight. “Then he’s matured and has a sense of family responsibility. That’s a good thing.”
“Sigh, he’s just getting old.”
With the news that Mu Qiqi was pregnant, the public was in an uproar. However, she herself was very calm. Whether other people knew about it or not did not matter to her. Anyway, she just would not go out and the Song family can just die from anger.
However, the Shen and Sheng families might inevitably be criticized by others.
This was also something Sheng Xiao was afraid of. Therefore, in the evening, Sheng Xiao planned to go to the Shen family first to know their stand.
..
The news of Mu Qiqi’s pregnancy was spreading like wildfire.
Song Qiaozhi was pulled in for questioning by the police. Because of Feng Shanshan’s kidnapping, she was somehow suspected to have been involved.
However, Song Qiaozhi had thought of an excuse a long time ago.
Who knew that after she took Feng Shanshan away that day, she would be schemed against by the middle-aged housekeeper she had hired. Later on, Feng Shanshan was locked up in the house upstairs by this swindler, and she had given the woman a spare key.
The police then went to verify Song Qiaozhi’s story. Song Jiang spent some money to pressure people, so Song Qiaozhi was fine for now and had to wait for the police to investigate further.
When she left the police station, Sheng Kai’s car was parked outside the door.
Seeing him there, she was a little surprised. “Why are you here?”
“To take you out for dinner.” Sheng Kai pulled open the car door and said, “Come on in.”
“Have you thought about what I said last night?” Song Qiaozhi asked Sheng Kai for an answer.
“Didn’t you say that I have time to think about it? Got to be prepared. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time,” Sheng Kai replied. Then, he drove away from the police station.
“Mu Qiqi is pregnant. I’m sure you’ve seen the news.” Halfway through, Song Qiaozhi suddenly said to Sheng Kai, “My brother might be using Mu Qiqi’s pregnancy to attack Sheng Xiao.”
“I don’t want to pay attention to them now. I just want to have a quiet meal,” Sheng Kai replied. “It can be considered a celebration for having finally gotten my divorce certificate and being single again.”
“Sheng Kai…”
“Actually… you can tell me your true ident.i.ty and true purpose. After all, whether you’re Song Jiang’s daughter or an undercover agent, you’re the only one by my side right now.” Sheng Kai suddenly tilted his head and looked at Song Qiaozhi seriously.
“You don’t believe what I said before?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you. At least, I do, partly. But, after I calmed down, I found many flaws in your words. For example, you just met me not long ago and told me that you’re an undercover agent of the police. If this is true, then you should have died thousands of times already. Your father is such a suspicious person.
“You said that you came here to avenge your mother and that you’ve received training. However, I feel that if that’s true and you’re back with Song Jiang, he’ll definitely investigate you thoroughly.
“Actually, Song Qiaozhi, why would I be worthy of you lying to me?”
Song Qiaozhi looked a little nervous. She even clenched her hands tightly. “Then why do you think I lied to you?”
“Let’s not talk about this tonight. We’ll talk about it later. What do you want to eat?”
Unexpectedly, Sheng Kai suddenly changed the topic. “After experiencing Gu Ziling and hovering between life and death, do you think I’ll still be that gullible?”
“If you don’t know what to eat, I’ll take you to my usual place.”
Song Qiaozhi choked for a moment and didn’t know what to say. She could only let Sheng Kai take her to a familiar restaurant.
