Old Master Lin thought about it the whole day. He couldn’t think of any reason to doubt Lu Qianqian when faced with the evidence that Sheng Xiao had brought over.

  What was even more pathetic was that he felt that he had let down Lin Mu’an from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had trusted Lu Qianqian from the moment Sheng Xiao appeared because he believed in Sheng Xiao’s judgment.

  Thinking about the engagement ceremony that the young couple was about to hold, Old Master Lin felt that he should show a better attitude and some appreciation.

  However, ever since Lin Mu’an went home that night to talk to Old Master Lin, he never returned home. So, Old Master Lin could only go to the police academy to see his grandson in person.

  Lin Mu’an learned from Lu Qianqian that the engagement was not canceled, but for some reason, he didn’t want to see his grandfather. That was until he had no choice when Old Master Lin personally went to the police academy.

  The instructor called him out of the training class. “Lin Mu’an, step out. Someone is looking for you at the school gate. Report back in twenty minutes.”


  Lin Mu’an wore his training uniform and ran to the school gate with a puzzled look. He saw Old Master Lin sitting on a stone bench under a big tree.

  He was a little surprised.

  It was the first time Old Master Lin saw Lin Mu’an like this. In his training uniform, he looked energetic and extraordinary.

  “You…… What’s wrong?”


  “You didn’t know that you had to come back to see this bag of old bones. Of course, I had to come here personally.” Old Master Lin snorted. “You’re already an adult, yet you don’t know how to give your grandfather a way out.”


  “Grandfather……”


  “I really don’t object to the matter between you and Lu Qianqian. You don’t have to treat me like an enemy every time you see me. No matter what I do, I won’t harm you,” Old Master Lin said earnestly. “I used to think that you were just fooling around when I saw you hanging around the police academy. Now, I think differently.”


  “Grandfather…… do you mean that you believe in Qianqian?”


  “You have to thank Sheng Xiao. Bring that girl home for dinner this weekend. Don’t you want the guest list?” Old Master Lin looked at his grandson. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her anymore.”


  Lin Mu’an was stunned for a moment. He felt that happiness had hit him too suddenly.

  “Alright, go back to class. I’m going back.”


  “Thank you, Grandfather.”


  Old Master Lin’s expression didn’t express much, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up. Sometimes, as an elder, he might really be too meddlesome. In the future, it was better to let go.

  Lin Mu’an looked at Old Master Lin’s disappearing figure and felt how real everything was.

  The old man had asked him to thank Sheng Xiao.

  It seemed like there was nothing Sheng Xiao couldn’t do in this world.

  That night, Lin Mu’an told Lu Qianqian about this matter over the phone. Lu Qianqian was naturally very happy and gave Mu Qiqi a call. The internal conflict had been resolved and this was all thanks to the great CEO.

  Mu Qiqi glanced at the man who was drying his hair. After ending the call, she sat down and wrapped her arms around the man’s waist. “Master Xiao, you’re so great.”


  Sheng Xiao lowered his head to look at her head. “You’re almost crushing my stomach.What if I couldn’t do what you wanted?”


  “You must have made thorough preparations. I don’t believe that you couldn’t do it.”


  “Who was the one who suspected that the old man wouldn’t listen to me?”


  “Who was it?” Mu Qiqi raised his head and playfully looked everywhere for that “person”. She stood up and took the hair dryer from Sheng Xiao’s hand as if he was a good boy, helping him to tidy up his soft, jetblack hair.

  “The internal conflict has been resolved, but Song Bozhi will definitely use another trick……”


  “As long as Old Master Lin doesn’t suspect Qianqian, everything will be easy,” Mu Qiqi quickly replied.

  Sheng Xiao nodded and then put away the hairdryer. He was ready to get up and go to the study. “You sleep first.”


  “I’ve been sleeping before you recently. It’s been a long time since I’ve slept at the same time as you.”


  “At the same time?” Sheng Xiao turned around and pinched her chin. “Is the person you sleep with at night a ghost? Hmm?”


  “You’re so light and soft when you join me. Isn’t that exactly like a ghost……”


  Mu Qiqi had just finished speaking when Sheng Xiao’s kiss came. Mu Qiqi immediately closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of intimacy.

  Sheng Xiao saw her expression and immediately looked at her teasingly. “Do you like me kissing you that much?”


  “It’s been a long time since we’ve been this close since we knew we were pregnant.”


  “That won’t do either,” Sheng Xiao whispered into her ear. “Otherwise, if there’s a reaction later…… I won’t be able to take responsibility for it.”


  Mu Qiqi was furious. Was teasing her fun?

  “Go to sleep. I’m turning off the lights.”
……

  Ever since the Lin and Lu families announced the engagement, there had been a lot of gossip about the two families.

  After all, even though both families had good backgrounds, the fact that Lu Qianqian had a miscarriage before made this bride-to-be a target of complaints.

  After Song Bozhi returned to Jianchuan, he heard a lot of news about the engagement between the two families.

  He was a little impressed with Old Master Lin. With such an uncomfortable mood, he was still willing to be in-laws with the Lu family. Could it be that he was really not curious whether or not Lu Qianqian had another man?

  However, he was not in a hurry. This was perfect because he could give Lu Qianqian a huge present at the engagement ceremony.

  Also, he heard that Mu Qiqi had left her nest. It seemed like he had to think of a way to meet this young bride of the Sheng family. Was she as smart and crafty as she was described in the rumors?……

  Five days later, Lu Qianqian and Lin Mu’an confirmed the guest list and booked the hotel for the engagement ceremony. After that, the two of them had to go and confirm the dress selection.

  They had said that they would confirm it before, but there had been a small incident, so they changed the time. This time, Lin Mu’an wasn’t free.

  The night before, Lu Qianqian called Mu Qiqi. “Are you interested in accompanying me to try on the dress? Lin Mu’an has a class and doesn’t have time to accompany me.”


  “Of course. Absolutely,” Mu Qiqi replied. “Tell me the time and address. Xu Che will send me there directly tomorrow.”


  “Xiao Qi, it won’t be…… unsafe, right? If you get into an accident because of accompanying me, I can’t afford to pay for it.”


  “There’s nothing unsafe about it. I’m not afraid now,” Mu Qiqi replied firmly because she didn’t want to implicate anyone else, and she didn’t want to hide anymore.

  “Then, let’s meet at the wedding dress shop tomorrow morning.” After saying that, Lu Qianqian hung up and sent the address to Mu Qiqi.

  Mu Qiqi received the address, and she had a question in her heart. Would Song Bozhi try to create another coincidental encounter tomorrow?

  Master Xiao had already wrestled with this man a few times, but she hadn’t even met him once. She wanted to see just how insufferably arrogant this man was.
