Chapter 539: It is Only Right and Proper That I Kiss My Wife
“Mrs. Sheng, you talk too much.” Sheng Xiao tilted her chin and kissed her deeply.
Those few words were enough to sound sensual to Mu Qiqi’s ears. She still could not claim herself to be Mrs. Sheng.
“Happy wedding, and, happy birthday, my little bride.”
…
The news about the problems in Tiffany & Co. were only circulating in the industry in the beginning. The entrepreneurs had a very keen sense.
However, Sheng Kai was still indifferent toward the matter. He was sitting in his office and had just ended his phone call with the person-in-charge in Tiffany & Co.. He was told that it was the result of the internal organization reshuffling.
Hence, he insisted on trusting his judgment.
It was just that some people had voiced out their concerns about this matter in the weekly meeting. However, Sheng Kai refused to listen at all. On the contrary, the one who had been the fiercest one was unusually quiet today.
Sheng Kai laughed coldly and asked Sheng Bowen to stay on after the meeting. “Have you become a mute? Now that Sheng Xiao is not around, can n.o.body give you any ideas already?”
“To you, what I say is not important at all. So why must I ask for trouble? You still believe that Tiffany & Co. is still fine anyway.”
“I’ve gotten you a new secretary. Your previous one made a few mistakes in my matters.”
“Whatever,” said Sheng Kai.
Although he was not a very wise man, he could still understand his motive in monitoring him. However, it was better that he acted openly rather than doing dirty tricks behind the curtain.
It was only when Third Brother went out of the meeting room did Sheng Kai stare at Sheng Bowen’s seat and mumbled, “I wonder what Grandpa is thinking. Third Brother has no talent in managing a company at all.”
If Third Brother didn’t, then who did?
Him?
…
In Houston Hotel, United States.
At night, Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi to the hot spring on the top floor to enjoy the night view of the whole city.
They were the only two in the hot spring. Seeing the red candles and rose petals, Mu Qiqi believed that the man must have put in a lot of effort in setting up the place.
“Is this our first wedding night?” Mu Qiqi turned her head and leaned against Sheng Xiao’s chest.
Sheng Xiao turned her around and embraced her. “What do you think?”
“No, I can’t reach the bottom of the pool. I’m drowning.”
“Put your legs around my waist,” Sheng Xiao whispered.
Mu Qiqi looked around and felt shy. “We are in the open s.p.a.ce high up in the sky. Aren’t you afraid that someone might be shooting a video here?”
“It is only right and proper that I kiss my wife.” After that, Sheng Xiao’s well-defined face got closer and closer. Meanwhile, the fireworks were shooting up in the air.
However, Mu Qiqi was too busy looking at the beautiful fireworks. She was brought out of the pool by the man and they were headed to the hotel’s bridal suite.
“You should get a good sleep tomorrow. We will return to Jianchuan tomorrow.”
“Why must I sleep tomorrow?” Mu Qiqi asked in puzzlement while putting her hands around Sheng Xiao’s neck.
“Because I don’t plan to let you sleep tonight.”
So, she had got married without much consideration. She was married to the man she loved and was obsessed with the most. From now on, she had a new ident.i.ty, Mrs. Sheng.
…
The incident about Lu Qianqian taking care of her youngest uncle gained admiration from many entrepreneurs. They had not expected such a pet.i.te lady to have been able to actually manage a huge company. She was quite a bold character.
Everyone was now saying that the little girl was not someone you could mess with.
Now, there should be no one who would talk about Lu Qianqian’s past love affair with that sc.u.mbag anymore. They were surprised by her amazing capability in managing a company.
After getting to know about these things and hearing people praise that girl from time to time, Old Lin suddenly felt that he had not tried to understand Lu Qianqian seriously. He only thought that she was a ridiculous girl and was just like an inappropriate wench.
Although he still had not changed his opinion about her, he at least saw some of her strengths.
After staying in the hospital for a long period, his condition was still not under control. Moreover, he was showing other symptoms. They were signs of diabetes.
Sometimes, this old man was pitiful yet hateful. But somehow, he was not as stubborn as Old Sheng. He was sincere toward Lin Mu’an at the very least. Otherwise, Lin Mu’an would not be able to threaten him with self-mutilation.
Which was why Lu Qianqian was willing to do some things for him. She was doing it in hopes that Old Lin would not be so repulsive of her in the future.
And when she did, she even hid it from Lin Mu’an, knowing that he would not allow her to do such things.
At night, Lu Qianqian texted Lin Mu’an on her bed. “After Father is gone, Mommy seems very lonely. I want to encourage her to pursue a new happiness, but I’m sure she cannot let go of Father yet.”
“Give her an obedient pet then. She will have a companion when you go to work.”
“You’re right.” Lu Qianqian thought carefully. “After all, it will still be years before we have babies.”
“Are you wanting to have children with me already?” Lin Mu’an added a smirk emoji in his message.
“Shut up.”
“Alright, wait until my vacation days and I will come and eat you up,” Lin Mu’an said shamelessly.
Lu Qianqian wanted to tell him about the worsening condition of Grandpa Lin. However, she did not mention it in the end as she did not want to burden him. She should just wait for the diagnosis of the specialist she hired from abroad first.
“Honestly, I’m already missing you now. I used to sleep with you in my arms. Now that I have returned to the dormitory, hearing the snoring of the men, I feel rather irritated.”
“Stop it. Just go to sleep. Don’t you have training tomorrow?”
Lin Mu’an smirked stupidly at the phone. Then, he slept hugging his phone in his arms.
Who let him have a lover and a family anyway?
…
That very night, the problems about Tiffany & Co. exploded. The new person-in-charge had run away with his mistress. Now, the police were hunting for him everywhere. With this, the veil he used to cover up the problems of Tiffany & Co. was torn apart. The ugly truth surfaced, and the jewelry empire was now full of holes.
People in the jewelry industry received the news one after another, including people in Jianchuan.
However, n.o.body told this to Sheng Kai. It was only until the next day did Sheng Bowen mention it casually during breakfast. “Right, I forgot to tell you this. Yesterday at midnight, I heard the news that the executive chairman of Tiffany & Co. had run away. He is currently being hunted by the police.”
Hearing this, Sheng Kai looked at Sheng Bowen in shock. “What did you say?”
“You heard me.”
Sheng Kai was dumbfounded. He took out his mobile and called the secretary of Tiffany & Co.. However, the other party told him that it was a mess in the company now. n.o.body could take control of the company.
Later, Sheng Kai smashed his phone and questioned Sheng Bowen. “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”
