When Sheng Xiao returned home, Mu Qiqi was waiting on the bed with the lights on.

  Sheng Xiao looked at the time and went over to help her lie down. He said in a low voice, “Don’t you know that you’re pregnant? What if I don’t come back tonight?”


  “I’m just worried. You went out in the middle of the night. What if it was an ambush from the Song family?” Mu Qiqi lay down obediently. “So you saw Sheng Kai?”


  Sheng Xiao took off his coat and went to the bathroom to freshen up. He then changed into his robe and returned to the bed. “You don’t have to worry about him anymore.”


  “Why?” Mu Qiqi tilted her head to look at Sheng Xiao and asked anxiously.

  “He has his own path.” A path that did not need to be protected.

  Mu Qiqi leaned into Sheng Xiao’s arms and did not speak for a long time. After a long while, she sighed. “It seems that the old master’s wish is destined to be unfulfilled. It’s going to be a pity.”


  Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi as if he was coaxing a child. He patted her back gently and waited for her to fall asleep before he let her go.

  This was because his mind was not thinking about Old Master Sheng or Sheng Kai, but about how many people would be involved in this trip to Luo Hai and how much trouble the Song family wanted to cause……

  The next morning.

  Old Master Lin arrived at the Shen family’s home. The two old men were ready to set off together.

  However, just as their car drove out of the Shen family’s home, they saw Sheng Xiao’s Bentley parked not far away, as if he was deliberately waiting for them.

  Seeing this, Old Master Shen asked the driver to lower the window. “Eighth Brother?”


  Sheng Xiao glanced at Mu Qiqi beside him, pushed open the door, got out of the car, and walked to Old Master Shen’s car window. He bowed and said, “Grandfather, Sheng Kai is involved and being used by the Song family.”


  Old Master Shen understood what Sheng Xiao meant and nodded. “Go. I know what to do.”


  Then, Old Master Shen raised the car window.

  Old Master Lin was sitting next to Old Master Shen. When he saw this, he smiled and said, “It’s a pity that I don’t have a granddaughter. Otherwise, I would definitely fight for my grandson-in-law.”


  “You won’t have the chance in this lifetime.” The two old men left Jianchuan amidst the laughter. Shen Jianchuan was also with them.

  A moment later, Sheng Xiao returned to the car. Mu Qiqi looked at the man beside her and said, “Actually, we don’t have to wait for them. We just need to make a phone call.”


  “We’ll be separated for a few months. I’m afraid you’ll miss them.” With that, Sheng Xiao let Xu Che drive.

  There was a deeper meaning behind his words. He did not know what would happen during this trip to Luo Hai. This might be the last time Mu Qiqi would see the two of them.

  Mu Qiqi was stunned for a moment and did not say anything. She had a faint uneasy feeling in her heart.

  “Xiao Xiao, can’t we go with them?”


  “For how many months?” Sheng Xiao asked her back.

  Mu Qiqi calmed down and also felt that this was nonsense. If she and Sheng Xiao went with them, what would happen to the Sheng and Shen families? Who would care for Huang Yao and Zhongteng?

  “I was just casually mentioning it.” After Mu Qiqi said that, her right hand subconsciously touched her belly. Although there was still some time before her belly became visible, she could already experience the feeling of being connected by blood.

  For the baby, she could not take any risks.

  “Don’t think too much.” Before Mu Qiqi left the car, Sheng Xiao patted her head.

  Feeling the warmth and strength of his palm, Mu Qiqi suddenly relaxed. It was as if there was nothing in this world that this man could not solve, so why should she bother herself?

  “Then I’ll go in……” Mu Qiqi pushed the door open and got out. She soon disappeared from the main entrance of the Jianchuan branch office.

  Sheng Xiao took a few glances before he said to Xu Che, “Let’s go.”
……

  In the morning, during the flight.

  Old Master Lin and Old Master Shen were chatting in business class. Whenever the two old men talked about fighting side by side, they seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

  However, when Old Master Lin came back from the bathroom, he was bumped into by a young man.

  “Old Master Lin.”


  He looked up and saw Song Bozhi’s face. He did not seem to know who he was. Old Master Lin frowned. “You know me?”


  “Qianqian…… My fiancé’s grandfather,” Song Bozhi replied with a smile. “What a coincidence.”


  “You know Qianqian?”


  “We’re friends.” Song Bozhi then walked past Old Master Lin into the washroom.

  However, Old Master Lin noticed that the cufflinks on his sleeves were glowing.

  The cufflinks were exactly the same as the one Lin Mu’an wore home last night.

  Old Master Lin frowned and sat down beside Old Master Shen with an unpleasant expression.

  Old Master Shen was puzzled when he saw this and immediately asked, “What’s wrong? You looked so pale since you came back from the lavatory.”


  “Nothing, I might be a little airsick,” Old Master Lin replied. Of course, he wouldn’t tell Old Master Shen about this. After all, this was just a family matter and he hadn’t figured out the truth yet.

  “Then, take a rest. I’ll tell you when we reach Luo Hai.” Old Master Shen didn’t know that Song Bozhi was also on the flight, but deliberately sitting in economy class. He really thought that Old Master Lin was feeling unwell because of airsickness.

  Old Master Lin didn’t know about the enmity between the Shen family and the Song family. Furthermore, he had only heard about the recent incident with Song Bozhi, but he had never seen him before.

  Now that he had suddenly seen him, he couldn’t figure out the relationship.

  What he was most puzzled about was whether Lu Qianqian had a relationship with this man.

  Otherwise, why would he have the same cufflinks?

  Song Bozhi sat in economy class with a smile on his face. He kept fiddling with the cufflinks in his hand because he didn’t believe that the old man from the Lin family didn’t have any doubts……

  On the other side, the Lu family’s mother and daughter had no idea what was going to happen.

  Mama Lu had decided to set the date for their engagement to be on the last day of July.

  After Lu Qianqian heard this, she was a little unwilling. “Mommy, can the time go any faster?”


  “It’s true that a grown woman can’t keep her daughter. There is another time, at the beginning of July, but isn’t it too rushed?”


  “Of course not.” Lu Qianqian was very satisfied with this date.

  “Then when Old Master Lin comes back, I’ll discuss with him and set it up for you.”


  “Okay.” Lu Qianqian nodded very readily.

  Then, she informed Lin Mu’an about this matter via text message.

  When Lin Mu’an saw that, his heart was filled with sweetness. “Can’t wait that much?”


  “Of course. Aren’t you in a hurry?” Lu Qianqian asked with a smile.

  “I’m not in a hurry.” Lin Mu’an teased her on purpose. “Men are like this.”


  “Scumbag, I’m relieved to see that you’re back to your usual lively self,” Lu Qianqian said, relieved. “Because I know that you’ve always wanted Grandfather’s acknowledgment in your heart.”


  “My silly Chili, just wait for the day you wear your wedding dress for me.”
