Chapter 253: I’ll Bring Her Back to the Sheng Family

Mama Sheng arranged for a dinner for their family the night before the engagement. It was the chance for Papa Sheng to meet his daughter-in-law before the engagement for fear that they might embarrass themselves during the engagement.

In fact, her husband seemed unbothered about that upcoming engagement. It hurt Mama Sheng. So, she did not think that her husband would approve of Mu Qiqi. But, it was not important either given that she was never a woman who relied on her man.

Her husband disliked Mu Qiqi. But, it was fine. She would adore Xiao Qi just like her son.

No one could force the others to stand by their side even though that man was one’s husband.

It was seven o’clock at night.

Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi dressed up nicely. They met with Sheng Xiao’s parents in the hotel.

Certainly, Sheng Xiao gave some tips to Mu Qiqi beforehand. All Mu Qiqi had to do was to appear nice to his father. She did not have to please him intentionally. It was because Sheng Xiao knew very well what kind of a father his father was.

Soon, they went to the restaurant and took their seats. Papa Sheng started to take a closer look at Mu Qiqi. Although he was sizing her up, he did not make it more difficult for her because he needed to respect the Shen family as well.

Mu Qiqi was not afraid too. She remained calm and she carried herself with composure. She seemed quite the lady there.

Mama Sheng nodded her head in satisfaction. Although Xiao Qi had a difficult time growing up, she had acquired proper manners. She acted like a young lady from a rich family. That was also why Papa Sheng did not manage to find any fault with her the first time he met her.

So, Papa Sheng could only find fault with Sheng Xiao. “Although you’re going to be engaged soon, you need to focus on your work too. Come home with me after dinner. I still have something important to tell you.”

“I’m going to be engaged tomorrow.” Sheng Xiao did not seem to bother about his father.

“It won’t take up much of your time.” Papa Sheng sneered. But, he did not try to do anything to Mu Qiqi throughout the dinner.

Moreover, Papa Sheng was in a dilemma. He did not want to approve of Mu Qiqi but he could not do anything to her because she belonged to the Shen family. Before they ended their meal, he advised Mu Qiqi, “You’re only eighteen years old. You’re still very young but don’t tire Sheng Xiao too much. Do you understand that? Be his helpful and good wife.

“You’re at an age when you like to play and enjoy life. But, I hope that he can focus more on his work. Can you promise me that?”

Mu Qiqi was shocked for a while. She was about to reply to Papa Sheng but Sheng Xiao put his arms around her shoulders and said to Papa Sheng, “She won’t promise you anything because I’m the one who clings to her.”

Papa Sheng was slightly angry. But, he did not express his anger. He could only sigh helplessly. Then, he stepped away and left first.

“Your dad asked you to return home first. Let me send Qiqi back home.” Mama Sheng said to Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao shook his head and rejected his mom’s offer directly. “I’ll bring her home with me. Let her stay in my room. Then, we’ll return home together after I’ve done my business.”

Mama Sheng could only nod her head after she heard that. “Don’t you trust me?”

“No, it’s just that I can’t bear to be apart from her even for a minute or a second.” Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s hand and said to Mama Sheng with a smile.

Mama Sheng had no way to deal with her son. She could only give him a hand. “By the way, it’s fine if you want to go to the Sheng family. You shouldn’t be worried. But, I know that he doesn’t want you to be uncomfortable. So, I won’t tell the others that you’re coming.”

“Thank you, beautiful aunt.”

Mu Qiqi could feel that Mama Sheng treated her sincerely up until the preparation she made for the engagement and how she treated her.

So, she also treated Mama Sheng just like her own mother.

Soon, two cars reached the Sheng family. Mu Qiqi was amazed by the mansions which appeared in front of her. Although she had been to many places, she was also frightened by the grandeur of the Sheng family.

“We’ll use another road to go straight to Sheng Xiao’s room. You just rest there.” Mama Sheng opened the door of Sheng Xiao’s room and placed her there. “If you want to come out and meet the others, Mom could take you there too…”

Mom…

“It’s fine… Mom.” Mu Qiqi said rather awkwardly.

“I’ll be your mom after tomorrow. You don’t have to be nervous.” Mama Sheng said gently. Then, she helped Mu Qiqi to close the door behind her.

It was where Xiaoxiao grew up.

It was a room oozing masculinity. It gave off a tough but alluring aura. The entire room was in gray and white. However, it was not dull.

Mu Qiqi looked around in the room. After that, she sat down on his bed and waited for him.

It was clear that Xiaoxiao did not like books. There was not even a magazine in his room…

At that moment, Seventh Sister heard that Sheng Xiao had returned home. She soon told her friend, Hui Lan that good news.

“Hui Lan, it’s your last chance. Sheng Xiao is going to be engaged tomorrow. He’s lives outside now and it’s rare that for him to come home. You must grab this chance.”

“Are you sure that he’s returned home?”

“There’s light in his room.” Seventh Sister was rather excited. “You’re so beautiful and you come from a good family. You even adore him deeply. I can’t think of a reason that he might reject you. Moreover, you’re much better than the young girl who has not even grown up fully.”

Her friend thought about it for a while. She felt that it was indeed her last chance to see whether she could change Sheng Xiao’s mind. Maybe, he would not get engaged with Mu Qiqi after all.

“Then, I’ll come over now.”

“We don’t live far from each other. I’ll wait for you.”

Seventh Sister felt that her friend could grab onto that chance and try to win him over. It was because she was confident that her friend was so much better than Mu Qiqi.

But, it escaped her mind that Sheng Xiao could be with any woman he wanted, given that he was the Crown Prince of Huang Yao.

Since he picked Mu Qiqi, certainly Mu Qiqi had her own strengths.

People could not always look at the others’ strengths and weaknesses when they fall in love. She did not understand that because she was still single.

At that moment, Sheng Xiao was still in his father’s study. On the other hand, Mu Qiqi was waiting for Sheng Xiao in his room.

Mama Sheng knew that Fourth Sister liked Mu Qiqi. So, she told her that Qiqi was waiting for Sheng Xiao in his room.

Fourth Sister had just reached home. She cleaned herself up before heading to Sheng Xiao’s room. But, both Seventh Sister and her friend were standing there before Sheng Xiao’s room.

“Sheng Xiao, are you inside?” Seventh Sister knocked on the door and she tried to listen to what was going on in the room.

Mu Qiqi had just finished washing her hands. So, Seventh Sister could hear the sound of the water. She affirmed that there was indeed somebody inside the room.

“I know you’re there. Open up for me.”

Mu Qiqi made no reply. She thought that she could not escape from them. So, she planned to meet them but Seventh Sister said something to Hui Lan at that moment. “Just say whatever you want to him here. He could definitely hear you.”

“Then, I want you to turn away.” Seventh Sister’s friend blushed slightly and said to her.

“Fine, I’ll turn away.” Seventh Sister turned away and tried to cover her ears.
