Chapter 266: I Am Already at My Limit With Just You Alone, Okay?

“Sheng Xiao, you are only engaged. You are not married yet!” Grandpa Sheng started to look irritated.

“I thought you would bear with it for a few more years. Apparently, you want to make things so ugly already?” Sheng Xiao leaned back on his chair and asked.

“Are you thinking that you don’t have to follow the rules now that you’ve gotten engaged to an eighteen-year-old girl?”

“She is mine. When she does something wrong, I will know what to do. I don’t need you to worry for me.”

“Can’t I even say anything?”

“No, you can’t!” Sheng Xiao answered definitely. “And you, Seventh Sister. If you try to mess with me again next time, don’t blame me if anything happens to you.”

Having said that, Sheng Xiao heard a loud thud.

Grandpa Sheng pounded on the table and pointed at Sheng Xiao. “Well, let me see if you can stay with your young wife forever and ever.”

Sheng Xiao draped his arm on Mu Qiqi’s shoulder and stared fearlessly into Grandpa Sheng’s eyes.

“You can go on with your meals.” Grandpa Sheng stood up and walked away. Seventh Sister and Fourth Uncle Sheng followed suit.

“Sheng Xiao, you should not go against Grandpa all the time. it does not bring any good to Qiqi.” Fourth Sister felt a shiver ran down her spine when thinking back about the fight.

“I am not scared.” Mu Qiqi declared.

Sheng Xiao stroked Mu Qiqi’s hair and smiled. “I will not let Qi’er suffer in any way, especially when she is with me.”

“What if Grandpa does something forcefully?”

“I have plenty of time to play with him. But he doesn’t have much time.” Sheng Xiao said firmly to Fourth Sister.

“Suit yourself.” Papa Sheng could not bear seeing his son’s behavior and left the table.

Sheng Xiao ignored him and said to Mu Qiqi. “Hurry up and eat. Then we can go home.”

“I am trying.” Mu Qiqi said, tilting her head.

There were just so many weirdos in the Sheng family. One was Grandpa Sheng, the dictator who always wanted to control everyone’s fates. And another one was Sheng Xiao, the stubborn one who liked to act impulsively. He would not let anyone force him into something he did not like. At the same time, no one could please him.

“Well then, you don’t have to come here for meals again unless it is an important occasion to save the trouble.” Mama Sheng decided. “Qiqi, don’t take Grandpa’s words personally. Remember, you have Sheng Xiao protecting you. You have nothing to worry about.”

“I know, Mom.”

Actually, Mu Qiqi was just pretending to be tough. Because she knew what kind of a man Sheng Xiao was, she did not want to be a burden to him.

She was not scared of Grandpa Sheng. But she must be resilient. She should not let anyone threaten her. Even if she had to fight in the end, she would not be alone. Because she had Xiaoxiao’s protection.

After the rushed meal, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi left the mansion. At the same time, Grandpa Sheng and Seventh Sister were looking at their car from the top floor.

“Seventh Sister, can you help me figure out a way to keep them apart? When Sheng Xiao starts to dislike that girl, I will be able to kick her out.”

“Grandpa, you should know that I will be in trouble if I touch his woman.” Seventh Sister feared Sheng Xiao.

“You have me. What are you afraid of?” Grandpa Sheng turned to her and asked, “You can make use of all the resources available and make Sheng Xiao hate that girl and break up with her as fast as possible. I feel so sick every time I see that forensic doctor. I am already so old. I don’t want to suffer because of this nauseating thing.”

“How can I not follow your order?” Seventh Sister sneered.

By the way, Mu Qiqi was at the age when she liked to seek fun. She did not think that Mu Qiqi would be able to reject a man if he kept pursuing her.

She needed to find ways to deal with Mu Qiqi from all aspects. As long as she got hold of evidence of Mu Qiqi having an affair with another man, then Sheng Xiao would know what to do about the betrayal without her telling him.

And the university was the best place where she could carry out her plan to deal with Mu Qiqi.

…

On the other hand, Mu Qiqi was imagining a great drama happening in a rich family on the way home. Whether she was willing to face it or not, Grandpa Sheng’s attitude had told her she could not escape from the challenge anymore.

“Grandpa Sheng said that there are still years to come before we can register our marriage. Is he implying that he will not let me join the Sheng family?”

“Do you think he will just threaten you with words?” Sheng Xiao sneered. “He will find ways to send me women and send you men. He always sees affection as a joke. He doesn’t believe in true love in this world. All long-term couples exist because of power and balance.”

“Send me men?” Mu Qiqi was startled. “I am already at my limit with just you alone, okay?”

“Are you provoking me, little one?”

Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. “I have finally found out the answer of where your evil genes come from. They are already in your bones since young to fight against the genes of your grandfather.”

What surprised Sheng Xiao was that Mu Qiqi did not show the slightest fear.

“Are you really not afraid at all?”

“I am not scared at all when I am sure that you will not leave me, and I will not leave you. I am just eighteen. There is nothing I can’t do or nowhere I can’t go. Because I trust you.”

In the darkness of the night, Sheng Xiao could see Mu Qiqi’s eyes sparkling. He was overwhelmed. Because her eyes looked like the brightest stars in the sky at that moment.

Everyone seemed to be looking forward to having a stable marriage. But even the relationship built on the strongest affection might crumble in the end. So, marriage was in fact a gamble.

Did Grandpa Sheng think that he could use external forces to destroy their united souls?

He could try.

Did he think that she was playful since she was young? But in fact, it was because of her young age that she could do anything for her love.

…

On the other side, Sheng Minglan felt relieved and more energetic again when Grandpa Sheng’s eyes were not focusing on her for now.

When Jing Yun saw this, he stopped frowning as well. His gloominess evaporated.

But it did not mean that Sheng Minglan would let her guard down. She was considering Jing Yun’s suggestion very seriously.

She had to make plans ahead and find a way out soon.

Perhaps Grandpa Sheng felt that he owed Sheng Minglan something since what happened last time. He was making Sheng Minglan’s marriage his first priority now.

He had been meeting an English businessman lately. He thought that English men were suitable to be husbands because they all looked very polite.

More importantly, this time, this man was willing to marry an Eastern wife. And he was quite satisfied after seeing Sheng Minglan in the photo.

In the next family meeting, when Grandpa Sheng mentioned this, Sheng Minglan who had just calmed down felt anxious again.
