Chapter 267: Is There Someone That You Like?

When Mama Sheng saw Sheng Minglan’s face, she knew right away that she did not want to be controlled. When she saw Sheng Minglan almost collapse for trying so hard to hide her feelings, she suddenly thought that it was a wise decision to let Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi get engaged early.

She used to obey the old man.

But when she saw her son like Mu Qiqi so much, she changed her mind.

So, she helped her son. If Sheng Xiao was forced into a marriage, she bet he would fight with the old man until the end.

To stop Sheng Minglan from crying, Mama Sheng brought her out of Sheng Mansion right after the meeting. She headed straight to Jing Ting, Sheng Xiao’s home.

Seeing Mama Sheng bring Fourth Sister to their house this late, Mu Qiqi guessed something bad must have happened. She quickly let them in.

“Qiqi, please let Fourth Sister stay here tonight. You should comfort her. I still need to get back to Sheng Mansion to cover up for her.”

“Leave it to me, Mom.” Mu Qiqi held Sheng Mignlan’s hands. She could feel the coldness in her palms. “Did Grandpa force you to do something again?”

“Qiqi…” Sheng Minglan plunged into Mu Qiqi’s arms. She had lost it. “I don’t understand. Why does Grandpa think that he can do anything to us? He thinks that those are his rewards. But no one wants his reward. He is too forceful. You know what? He wants me to marry an English man this time. I can’t bear with it anymore.”

Mu Qiqi did not know what to say to comfort her, so she took out a bottle of wine. She decided to get drunk with her, even though she was not good at drinking.

But Sheng Minglan wanted to get drunk. So, the two women drank a lot in the living room and got drunk together.

When Sheng Xiao got home, he frowned. He carried Mu Qiqi back to the bedroom and placed Sheng Minglan on the couch. Then, he called Jing Yun. “Come and take care of Fourth Sister. She is in Jing Ting now.”

“Young Master, I am a man and she is a woman. You should let Aunt Wu take care of Miss Minglan.” Jing Yun was still restraining himself.

“Stop talking nonsense already. I don’t believe it if you say you don’t know about Grandpa forcing her into a marriage again. It’s an English man this time. Aunt Wu can take care of her body, but can she take care of her heart? I will be upstairs tonight. I won’t go downstairs. You can do anything you deem fit. Fourth Sister is on the couch. Nobody will care if she catches a cold.”

Jing Yun knew Sheng Xiao purposely said that. But could he leave Sheng Minglan alone?

Of course not. If she was in Sheng Mansion, he would find someone for help. But since she was in Jing Ting, could he slightly let his guard down this time?

Jing Yun did not hesitate anymore and went to Jing Ting. By the time he entered the living room. Sheng Minglan was really wearing thin clothes and lying on the couch.

So, he quickly went to the guestroom to get a blanket for Sheng Minglan.

Sheng Minglan felt something and opened her eyes. When she saw Jing Yun, she looked concerned and struggled to sit up.

“Did I embarrass myself again?”

“No, you didn’t.” Jing Yun shook his head. “Young Master is upstairs taking care of Miss Qiqi and Aunt Qu has gone home. So…”

Sheng Minglan was still drowsy. Suddenly, she sat up straight and reached her hand out and touched Jing Yun’s face. “I would rather marry you than marry some English man.”

“Miss Minglan…” Jing Yun was dumbfounded.

“Are you not willing to marry me?”

“Are you aware of what you are saying?” Jing Yun’s eyes were wide open. He was trying very hard to restrain himself.

Sheng Minglan laughed and plunged into Jing Yun’s arms. “Sometimes, I really feel like simply getting a man and get married and that’s it. But, I don’t want to. I am not a puppet.”

Jing Yun hugged Sheng Minglan without any improper thoughts. He carried her into the bedroom and stayed beside her for the entire night.

Sheng Xiao sneaked downstairs. When he opened the door and saw them, he really felt like giving Jing Yun a good beating. He wondered what was in his mind that he wasted such a good chance.

Of course, he was not referring to that kind of intimacy, but he thought that it was the best chance for Jing Yun to confess his feelings to Sheng Minglan.

But he knew that Jing Yun would not say anything before he was sure that he could provide Sheng Minglan with something.

In the end, Sheng Xiao closed the door and returned to his bedroom. He wanted to teach his little one a lesson. How dare she get herself drunk when she knew that she was not good holding her liquor?

Mu Qiqi was totally unaware of the man’s anger. What she knew was that the man’s actions were not gentle at all, as if punishing her.

But afterward, Mu Qiqi felt very comfortable. Because the man cleaned her up and gave her a good massage.

“Such a tempting little one.” She was definitely not going to wake up tonight. So, he had to wait until tomorrow morning before he could lecture her.

But after midnight, Sheng Minglan woke up. When she saw Jing Yun sleeping beside her, she was startled. But soon she regained her sanity.

Jing Yun must be shocked to see her like that.

Of course, she did not remember what she said after getting herself drunk. Since she was awake now, she should go home. She should not keep on acting up.

But, when she was trying to get out of bed lightly, Jing Yun woke up.

“Miss Minglan…”

“You should just go to sleep. I will go back now.” Sheng Minglan looked at Jing Yun and said.

“I will send you back. You drank just now.” Jing Yun stood up. “You can walk into Sheng Mansion alone when we get there.”

“Then we should just leave quietly,” said Sheng Minglan. And they left Jing Ting quietly.

In fact, Sheng Xiao knew it. He sighed. It was such a good chance but Jing Yun had sent Sheng Minglan home instead. It seemed like he should not expect him to be enlightened.

Not only did he know they were leaving, he also went downstairs to stop them. “Shouldn’t you figure out a plan here? Or you just want to go back and keep on crying?”

Sheng Mignlan saw Sheng Xiao walking downstairs in his black pajamas. So she walked back into the house again.

“I don’t think you don’t want to get rid of the old man’s control.”

“But we are different…”

“We are just the same. Do you really think that Grandpa will let me marry Qi’er?” Sheng Xiao raised his chin. He knows everything. “We can just think of a solution if it is possible. Nobody needs to accept defeat.”

“What is your plan?”

“Tell me. Is there someone that you like?”

“Is that important?” Sheng Minglan frowned.

“We are discussing your marriage. So is it important? You having someone you like or not will determine the direction of our plan. And it decides the difficulty of this task,” Sheng Xiao replied.

Jing Yun looked at Sheng Minglan and Sheng Minglan looked at Sheng Xiao. And Sheng Xiao looked at the two.

“Can’t you even tell me if you have someone you like or not?” Sheng Xiao asked once more.
