“He is awake?” Grandpa Shen’s hands were trembling. “We should go now.”
“Alright, Jinyun and I will go to the hospital now.” The sound of Second Aunt’s footsteps diminished quickly. Mu Qiqi had mixed feelings now.
“Qiqi, let’s go,” said Grandpa Shen.
Mu Qiqi shook her head and said, “Aunt Rong does not like me. It is better for me to go another day. The situation today is too messy.”
Grandpa Shen agreed. He did not know the situation in the hospital now and he was unsure whether it was too shocking or not for Shen Jianchuan to know about his daughter. So, he nodded and said, “Well, I will update you after I get to the hospital. You must be tired already. Go home and rest.”
Mu Qiqi nodded and exchanged glances with Sheng Xiao.
Grandpa Shen’s mind was too busy thinking about Shen Jianchuan. He did not notice the faces of the two.
The three of them left the mansion. Grandpa Shen was especially in a hurry because he was anxious to see his son.
On the way back home, Mu Qiqi remained silent. Everything happened too fast and she was unable to digest it.
“It is to coincidental,” Sheng Xiao mumbled.
1“What is?”
“Nothing. Let’s go to the mansion first or your aunt will be worried,” Sheng Xiao said. What he was saying was that Shen Jianchuan had not shown any sign of waking up all these years. And now he had woken up right on the day Mu Qiqi had returned to the Shen family. It was simply too coincidental.
“Xiaoxiao, I want to go home.” Mu Qiqi begged, clinging onto Sheng Xiao’s arm.
Sheng Xiao glanced at her once and made a U-turn, heading to their villa. Once they reached home, he called Su Zipei.
After knowing what had happened, Su Zipei asked Sheng Xiao to take good care of Mu Qiqi. She was not at the small mansion right now. She was with Lu Wenhua in his apartment.
Sheng Xiao kept his phone and draped his arm around Mu Qiqi’s neck. They entered the house together.
Mu Qiqi was still hugging Sheng Xiao’s arm, too unwilling to let go. Because it was the warmest harbor for her. “I am very confused about what has happened. I don’t know if I should get involved with the Shen family. But that man is my father. He lived such a hard life. I don’t want him to reject me, just like the others.”
Mu Qiqi behaved in such a way because she was traumatized by her mother’s death.
It was too hard for her to see the closest family dying in such a horrible way.
Sheng Xiao moved his hand away from Mu Qiqi’s neck and lifted her chin. He looked into her eyes and said, “You are trained by me. Of course, you will be accepted by the Shen family. It is a fact sooner or later.”
“But now that my father is awake, he will marry Aunt Rong. Then, my situation will only become more awkward.”
“What are you afraid of? Is there any other thing more shocking than exposing our relations.h.i.+p?” Sheng Xiao smiled playfully. “Qi’er, you know that you have me.”
“This is the first time you call me that way.” Mu Qiqi was touched and plunged into his arms. “I like it.”
Sheng Xiao hugged and caressed her. Then, he tilted her face up and kissed her cheek. Following that, he moved his head and sucked on her earlobe with his name.
“Don’t do it.”
“Don’t do what?” Sheng Xiao blew lightly into her ear. Mu Qiqi was aroused, and her body felt weak.
Soon, Sheng Xiao carried Mu Qiqi to the big bed. He placed her on the bed gently and carefully removed his clothes, throwing them in the middle of the room.
But when he turned to Mu Qiqi, he grabbed her dress and tore it off from the middle with force.
“I liked that dress.” Mu Qiqi protested. But, without the dress covering her body that was getting curvier, she looked very beautiful and attractive.
“Which do you prefer, me or the dress?”
Did he really need to ask?
Mu Qiqi pouted. Before she could say anything, Sheng Xiao was already sucking her lips. He explored her body with his warm palm. Her skin burnt everywhere he touched her, leaving a flame of excitement that drained her energy.
Sheng Xiao looked at Mu Qiqi who was blus.h.i.+ng. He grinned and tilted her head so that their eyes met. “What will your father think if he knows what we are doing right now?”
Sheng Xiao caught a glimpse of fear in her eyes.
But he did not wait for her to respond and entered her.
“Even so, you are the only one I want in my life. n.o.body can stop me.”
Mu Qiqi’s heart melted once again when she heard his words.
It was her who started the relations.h.i.+p with Sheng Xiao. So, she did not want to be the one who ended it.
“Xiaoxiao… Xiaoxiao…”
A pa.s.sionate lovemaking ended with the interweaving of sweat and moans of the two. Mu Qiqi was too tired to think of anything else, whether it was about the Shen family or Shen Jianchuan. As Sheng Xiao said, she should overcome each obstacle as it came. Rong Junhan might have the support of the other Shens, she had Sheng Xiao and Grandpa Shen.
…
On the other hand, Mu Tangxue stayed all night at the cemetery.
It was until the next morning that someone discovered her fainted in the cemetery and sent her to the hospital. By that time, there was a wound on her forehead that it was so deep that her skull could almost be seen. She must be too terrified and fell somewhere, knocking her head on a tree.
Once her wound was st.i.tched up, it would leave a big scar on her forehead forever. There was no way for people not to see the scar, unless she covered it with her hair.
When she woke up in the hospital, Mu Tangxue lay on the bed lifelessly. She stared into the void, not knowing where to go or the meaning of her life.
Compared with Mu Qiqi’s ruthlessness, it was Grandpa Mu’s unsympathetic att.i.tude that had killed her hope of living.
He gave her false hope and caused her despair. Perhaps, there was no way for her to win against Mu Qiqi in her whole life. She had never beaten her in anything. And it would be even impossible in the future.
And she even had a scar on her forehead now.
…
On the other hand, Grandpa Shen and the rest stayed in the hospital all night. After Shen Jianchuan woke up, he fell into a deep sleep once again. Grandpa Shen did not get to see his son being awake, so he stayed in the hospital until eight o’clock in the morning.
When Shen Jianchuan opened his eyes again, he saw his father’s worrying face. He wanted to talk but could not. He could barely whisper. “Father…”
Grandpa Shen wiped away the tears on his face and patted his son’s hand. “It is good enough that you are awake. Good enough. You should get some rest. Don’t strain your mind too much. The doctor said that you will need a long time to fully recover.”
“Great! Now that Eldest Brother is awake, Eldest Sister will not have to work so hard anymore.” Second Aunt said excitedly. “I am still waiting for your wedding ceremony.”
