Although she did not want to go at first, she did not want to give the chance to Third Aunt.
So, after Third Aunt left, Mu Qiqi went to Huang Yu. “What about I tell Grandpa to bring along your daughter instead of me?”
“She is just seventeen. What use is it if she goes?” Huang Yu laughed. “But Xiao Qi, you better be honest with me. Do you have someone you like already?”
Mu Qiqi was surprised. She did not answer mainly because she knew that once they knew about her relations.h.i.+p with Sheng Xiao, they would probably think that it was shameful. Maybe they would even drive her out of the family.
“More or less.” Mu Qiqi gave an ambiguous answer. “But you cannot ask me who he is. I have grown up. I will pursue my love myself.”
“Cheeky girl.” Huang Yu did not ask anymore. Of course, she would not relate her to Sheng Xiao. Although they had crossed each other’s path at some points in their lives, people would not imagine Sheng Xiao, the crown prince of Huang Yao would actually fall in love with a young girl like Mu Qiqi.
So, Mu Qiqi escaped this time.
When she got home, Sheng Xiao was already there, wearing a black s.h.i.+rt, sitting in the living room. He was reading some doc.u.ments with concentration, but he did not ignore the person who got in.
“You are back.”
Mu Qiqi was fascinated by his serious face. She was especially fascinated by his look when he was wearing black. He seemed untouchable but was very alluring.
Mu Qiqi thought of the request made by Grandpa Shen. So, she walked and stood in front of Sheng Xiao and took away his doc.u.ments. She sat on his lap and said, “Grandpa is bringing me to a birthday party, and…”
“And what?” Sheng Xiao asked in a threatening voice.
“And… he wants to introduce me to a boyfriend!” Mu Qiqi lowered her head while drawing circles in the air with her fingers.
“So, you are going?” Sheng Xiao tilted her chin and asked.
“I…”
“Are you getting tired of your life?” Sheng Xiao lifted her up and pinned her against the wall. He punished her with his love. “Have you forgotten who your man is? Huh?”
“Why would I forget?” Mu Qiqi explained. “Xiaoxiao, I worked so hard to pursue you. Why would I look at another man?”
“Did you pursue me?” Sheng Xiao sneered. “It is I who protect you and love you! And now you are going on a blind date?”
“I did pursue you!” Mu Qiqi answered with a serious face. “I have had a crush on you for so long. Can’t you feel my deep feelings toward you?”
This time, Sheng Xiao thought it was an interesting answer. “How deep is it?”
“How can I show you? You know you are teasing me again.”
Sheng Xiao carried her and walked to the bed. He placed him on the big bed. Mu Qiqi thought that they were going to kiss. But instead, Sheng Xiao rolled her over and lifted her skirt. Then, he spanked her on her soft round bottoms.
Mu Qiqi teared up.
“You’re bullying me!”
Sheng Xiao knew she was in pain. Then, he rubbed it for her. “I just want you to remember.”
“How do you know I will not remember? I remember it well. Wherever I go, I will remember that my man is Sheng Xiao. He is an arrogant demon. But he is also a thoughtful man. He likes to tease me the best. But I still think he is captivating.”
After listening to her words, Sheng Xiao bent down and kissed her bottom.
Mu QIqi flushed and covered them with her hands. “I have not showered.
“Which part of your body haven’t I kissed?” Sheng Xiao said in disdain. He lifted Mu Qiqi up and put her into the bathtub.
“You can go to the birthday party, but…”
“I know what to do.” Mu Qiqi raised her hand and swore. “I am just getting to know more people. But I will never look at other men.”
Sheng Xiao was satisfied with her answer.
It was not because he was being liberal. But it was because the Sheng family was also listed in the guest list. He did not like to attend this kind of occasion because he thought that they were boring. But now it seemed like he needed to s.n.a.t.c.h the invitation card from the sixth son of the Sheng family.
“And one more thing, Xiaoxiao. Aunt has got married. Shouldn’t we give her a present?”
Hearing the word “we”, Sheng Xiao’s eyes softened. He nodded. He was happy that Mu Qiqi regarded them as one ent.i.ty. To Mu Qiqi, he was the head of her family. He was her husband. As for Su Zipei, he was her nephew-in-law.
“What does she like?”
“She has everything. She just hopes that we can be happy.” Mu Qiqi said, laying in the bathtub.
“Then we shall give her a peace of mind.”
“I will let you decide on it.” Mu Qiqi grabbed Sheng Xiao’s arm and laid her head on it. Soon, she fell asleep. Sheng Xiao bathed her and put her onto the bed. Then, he went to the study and asked Jing Yun to prepare the present.
It needed not to be something expensive. But it must be sincere. He believed Su Zipei would like it.
And he looked at Mu Qiqi who was in bed, sleeping soundly.
But Sheng Xiao was not in a hurry to go to bed. Because Grandpa Shen was not being reliable this time. How could he in such a hurry to get himself a grandson-in-law when Qiqi was just eighteen?
If Grandpa Shen scared him again like this, he would give him a headache…
…
It was late at night. But Rong Junhan was still struggling to find ways to bail her brother out of jail. She asked for help from her friends and relatives. But no one was willing to help her.
Rong Junhan was getting very anxious. But she did not stop. She went to see her sister-in-law.
“My daughter has divorced your brother. You are shameless to come here. The Rong family deserves all that has happened.”
The man ridiculed her. “I really wanted to light some firecrackers to celebrate. When my daughter was humiliated by your brother, what did the Rong family say? Now great, your karma has come.”
Rong Junhan had expected this to happen.
But she did not have time and energy to argue. So, she just walked out of the house. “These people don’t even change the lightbulbs at the stairs. I am afraid they are too poor to save my brother.”
After that, Rong Junhan turned on the flashlight on her phone. But something pushed her from the back. She screamed and rolled down the stairs.
This time, she was not that lucky.
What goes around comes around.
If she had not done so many evil things in the past, she would not have to go through this today.
Yu Jing soon received news that Rong Junhan was injured. Her father was just hospitalized a few days before and now Rong Junhan also suffered fractures all over her body. Yu Jing could not withstand the pressure and started crying intensely.
Mu Qiqi thought that she was overwhelmed by the updates. Rong Group was under investigation yesterday. And Rong Junhan was hospitalized because of fractures. At this rate, was there someone going into prison tomorrow?
Was it Rong Junhan being unlucky or…
She thought that her father would not have acted so fast. Maybe Rong Junhan was just being very unlucky.
On the other hand, Yu Jing had no other option now. All she could think of was Shen Lin!
Shen Lin always granted her wishes. Now she could act pitifully and ask for his sympathy again!
