Chapter 94: Young Master Sheng Cares Too Much for Qiqi

Mu Qiqi felt relieved after hearing this. She lied in his arms, closed her eyes and said, “Do I need to choose other people when I have you?”

“Does it still hurt?” Sheng Xiao asked.

“It still does when I move,” Mu Qiqi answered honestly.

Sheng Xiao got up and got dressed immediately.

Mu Qiqi became puzzled. When she was about to ask, he had already picked up the car key from the bedside table. “I am going out, you sleep first.”

“Xiaoxiao…” When Mu Qiqi got up, Sheng Xiao was already gone.

Mu Qiqi did not know where he was going, so her thoughts ran wild. But within half an hour, Sheng Xiao was back already. He was holding some medication in his hand.

“Xiaoxiao…”

Sheng Xiao washed his hands clean and walked to the bedside. Then, he lifted Mu Qiqi’s blanket.

Mu Qiqi was shocked and wanted to get up. But, Sheng Xiao stopped her just in time.

“This can help ease your pain.”

“I can do it myself…”

“Can you see it?” Sheng Xiao asked.

Mu Qiqi flushed. She never expected that Sheng Xiao would do such a thing for her, although their relationship was very intimate. For someone of such high status like Sheng Xiao, he could easily ignore her feelings and do what he wanted. But, he was always being considerate.

Mu Qiqi lay on the bed and let him be. After a while, she felt him lying down beside her. She squeezed into his arms. Her heart was filled with satisfaction.

“Xiaoxiao, you are the best!”

“Useless!” Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi tightly. Although he sounded harsh, his hands were stroking her gently, coaxing her to sleep.

Their first time did not work out well. But still, it was not bad.

However, one thing they weren’t aware of was that Lu Wenhua saw them going out together in the middle of the night. He had started to get suspicious. But when he saw Mu Qiqi the next day, he did not reveal her secret immediately. He needed to confirm if they were having a relationship first or were they just going out for an important matter?

“Thanks to you, I feel much better,” Su Zipei thanked Lu Wenhua. Her gaze had softened.

She had never been cherished and taken care of this way by a man when she was married to that scumbag. So, it would totally be a lie if she was not touched.

“I am glad to hear that,” Lu Wenhua said. Then, he asked Su Zipei, “Are Qiqi and Young Master Sheng close?”

“Young Master Sheng was our lifesaver so Qiqi had been very dependent on him. And he takes very good care of us,” Su Zipei said and smiled. “Sheng Xiao, he was not like how people had described him. He just has a strong charisma, that’s all.”

“Are Qiqi and Sheng Xiao very close in private?”

“No.” Su Zipei shook her head. “He is always very busy so he does not come here very often. Why are you asking this so suddenly?”

“Nothing. I just feel that Young Master Sheng cares too much for Qiqi.” Lu Wenhua had only seen it once, so he would not tell Su Zipei before he was sure about it.

It would be best if things were different from what he thought. But, if the two were really having forbidden feelings towards each other, things could get very complicated. Not to mention Su Zipei’s reaction when she found out about this, Sheng Xiao’s intention of helping Mu Qiqi would become obscure.

So, Lu Wenhua decided to investigate.

…

The Mu Family was having a real headache now. The conditions proposed by Mu Qiqi had indeed crossed the line of these people.

Papa Mu was certainly hoping to get Mu Qiqi’s help without having to make any sacrifices. But, deep in his heart, he knew it was impossible.

Now that the Mu Group was facing a crisis, the other brothers were getting more aggressive towards him. Ever since he had taken over the business, he had never been this upset.

And after getting beaten up many times these past few days, Mu Tangxue knew that she would not be able to get back her father’s attention if she did not make a move. So, when night came, she thought of ways to get back her father’s love. After all, she had no one to turn to besides the Mu Group.

After devising a plan, only then she dared to step out of her room. She walked into her father’s study with cautious steps.

Papa Mu saw her at the door and shouted, “What are you doing here?”

“Daddy, I am here to help you.” Mu Tangxue continued, “If you still think of me as your daughter, I am willing to give my sister the five percent shares Grandfather gave me to appease her.”

“Do you think you can still hold on to the shares?”

“Daddy, not just this matter, I can help you to take care of the divorce between you and Mother. I promise she will not get a single cent from you.”

Papa Mu looked at Mu Tangxue with surprise. He did not expect that an eighteen-year-old girl would be able to say such a thing. He laughed out loud, but he became serious after the laugh.

He knew perfectly well that he’d underestimated his two daughters this time. His perceptions of them were totally wrong. Maybe Mu Tangxue had not shown him her ability yet.

Thinking of this, Papa Mu nodded and beckoned Mu Tangxue, “Xue’er, come here…”

Mu Tangxue walked towards her father. He stood up and patted her shoulder. “If you can help me solve these two problems, I will not be angry with you anymore. Everything will return to the way it was before. You will still remain as my precious daughter.”

“Leave it to me, Daddy.”

With Mu Tangxue’s and the old man’s shares, he would be able to solve the problem without losing anything himself. Why not give it a go?

“But… I will not be able to study in the future.”

“You cannot go to school but the authorities did not say you cannot get private tutors to come to our house. Isn’t it true that you cannot take the exam for five years? You can learn first and after five years, you can still get your qualifications. You will not miss anything.”

It turned out that it was so easy to reach a consensus.

Mu Tangxue thought of the humiliation and hatred Mu Qiqi directed towards her.

It was alright to let Mu Qiqi take all the glory for now. When the time was right, she could just get everything back from her.

“As for your mother, are you sure you can handle her matter?”

“Trust me, Daddy.” Mu Tangxue said, “After the lesson last time, I will not do anything stupid again.”

“It’s good that you know now.”

So, when it came to the shares, the Mu family had made their decision. They contacted Su Zipei without wasting time and she told Lu Wenhua their decision.

But Lu Wenhua was standing right outside of the villa. He now knew that Mu Qiqi went out with Sheng Xiao every night.
