Sheng Xiao pressed Mu Qiqi down and said calmly, “If you continue to act recklessly, I’ll teach you a lesson somewhere else.”


  Mu Qiqi did not dare to act rashly. However, when she thought about the fact that they would not be able to love each other for ten months, she wondered how this man would be able to hold himself back?

  “Xiao Xiao…… it’s only the first day, and you’re already…… feeling the heat. How can you stand it for ten months?”


  “What do you want to say? Just say it.” Sheng Xiao looked at the thing with a faint smile. Did she think he could not fathom the hidden meaning in her words?

  “What if you want it? I’ve heard that when a woman is pregnant, it’s the easiest time for a man to cheat on her.”


  Sheng Xiao’s gaze slowly moved from Mu Qiqi’s small face to her chest. “As you advance in your trimesters, you’ll probably get bigger…… when the time comes.”


  “Old hooligan.” Mu Qiqi quickly covered her chest and said.

  “Are you still afraid? Hmm?”


  This time, Mu Qiqi became serious. She reached out and hugged Sheng Xiao. “I believe in my man. He’s very picky. He’s not just any good-for-nothing. He’ll take notice.”.

  “In the afternoon, I’ll go visit the Shen family.”


  It was fine if it was just the others, but the two old elders really couldn’t hide anything.

  Mu Qiqi did not have any objections. She believed that her father and grandfather would be happy for her. “Xiao Xiao, I really have your baby. It belongs to both of us.”


  “Mm.” Sheng Xiao’s tone was still indifferent.

  “I’m really happy.”


  “Idiot.”


  The child had just been placed in Mu Qiqi’s stomach, so Sheng Xiao did not have too strong a feeling. He only knew that this little thing would be even more untouchable in the future. She was his rare treasure.

  During lunch, Mama Sheng kept telling Mu Qiqi about the precautions to take during pregnancy. She knew how bold this child was, but it was a special period now, so Mu Qiqi had to be extra careful.

  Mu Qiqi kept everything in her heart. She cared more about this child than Xiao Xiao.

  After lunch, Sheng Xiao led Mu Qiqi to the Shen family home. Huang Yu and Shen Jianchuan were not home, and the old man was fishing at the fish pond as usual. When he saw the two of them, he was a little surprised.

  “Eighth Brother, is it not busy at the company? You actually came to see me at such a time.”


  “It’s not his fault. He’s here to accompany me,” Mu Qiqi said cheerfully.

  “Why aren’t you at school?” The old man twisted his body and looked at the young couple. His face suddenly looked nervous. “What happened?”


  “Nothing. You don’t have to be so nervous.” Mu Qiqi quickly waved her hand. “It’s just that you’re going to be a great-grandfather.”


  Immediately, Old Master Shen understood what Mu Qiqi meant. He put down the fishing rod and looked at Mu Qiqi’s abdomen. “You’re pregnant?”


  “Yes.” Mu Qiqi nodded.

  “Old Eight, tell me.” Old Master Shen seemed to think that Mu Qiqi’s words could not be trusted. This child liked to joke, so he asked Sheng Xiao.

  Sheng Xiao was silent, but he nodded to show that this was true.

  “This is a good thing. This is my first great-grandson……” Old Master Shen was pleased, but after a moment, he frowned again and pointed at Sheng Xiao. “Old Eight, come with me to the study.”


  Mu Qiqi was stunned. Why did this person turn hostile so quickly?

  Mu Qiqi watched the two enter the study and did not know what the old man was going to say to Xiao Xiao.

  A man’s heart was really like a needle at the bottom of the ocean……

  In the study, Old Master Shen paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was not right.

  “Eighth Brother, you’re too selfish. How old is Xiao Qi? You just let her…… let her……”


  “Grandfather, this is my fault. I didn’t protect her well.” Sheng Xiao did not explain. “But there’s one thing I can promise you. Whether she has a child or not, I won’t use anything to restrain her.”


  Old Master Shen believed this.

  He was the one who watched Sheng Xiao grow up. In the past, this child was frivolous, and everything he said and did depended on his mood. However, after all these years, after being together with Qiqi, he had become mature and grounded. Moreover, he doted on his precious grandchild.

  “I’m naturally happy that you’re having a child. I only need to emphasize one thing, and that is safety. You know that there are people eyeing our two families now. I don’t want Xiao Qi to be the one to block this calamity at this juncture.”


  “I don’t plan to announce it to the public until Qi’er gives birth to the baby. In the meantime, it’ll be as if Qi’er is ill,” Sheng Xiao replied.

  “Mm, this is the safest method at the moment. By not letting others know, it would also reduce the attention of others. You young people can make your own arrangements for this. However, don’t forget your promise to me that you won’t let Qi’er suffer any grievances.”


  “I know.”


  The two of them didn’t stay in the study for long, but this short amount of time was enough for Mu Qiqi to stretch her head out toward the study while waiting.

  After a moment, the two of them left the study. Mu Qiqi quickly went up to them. “Grandfather, are you blaming Xiao Xiao? Don’t blame him, it’s me. He thinks I’m still too young to keep this baby.”


  “You……” Elder Shen pushed her head with his finger. “You’re going to be a mother soon. You can’t be like before, doing whatever you want. Eighth Brother is spoiling you, but you have to know your limits.”


  “I know,” Mu Qiqi replied as she rubbed her head.

  “I already heard the news. Tell your father later. Take care of yourself and give birth to a healthy baby, okay?”


  “Grandfather, don’t worry.”


  When that time came, the whole family would treasure this child.

  Mu Qiqi could already picture not being able to hold her own child in the future.

  The old man humphed and returned to his own world. Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao, then she said, “I want to wait here for Dad to come back and personally tell him the news. If you have something to do at Zhongteng, go and get busy. You won’t be worried if I stay here, right?”


  “I’m free for two days solely to accompany you.”


  “I’m only worthy of you being free for two days?”


  “Don’t be so smug, little one. I’ll find a notebook and write down all the things you’ve done. After you’ve given birth, I’ll settle the scores with you one by one.” Sheng Xiao hugged her, but there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

  “I don’t believe you can bear to do that.”


  The two of them waited in Shen Jianchuan’s antique room. Half an hour later, they saw Shen Jianchuan coming back from outside.

  “Dad……”


  Shen Jianchuan glanced at the two of them and was puzzled, just like everyone else had been. A moment later, his gaze moved down to Mu Qiqi’s lower abdomen. This person was more meticulous than the old man and he knew that if it wasn’t for this situation, the two of them would not have waited for him here like this.

  “You’re going to be a mother?”


  “Why are you so wise?” Mu Qiqi immediately gave him a little praise. “We didn’t even need to speak.”


  “How long has it been?” Shen Jianchuan asked. Although he had regained his mobility, he was not as agile as the average person and his body was very thin.
