“What’s the bet?” Mu Qiqi propped herself up and looked at Sheng Xiao. “Why don’t you call me ‘Daddy’ on behalf of your son?”


  Sheng Xiao sat up straight and lifted Mu Qiqi’s chin with a half-smile on his face. “I’m waiting for you to call me ‘Daddy’.……”


  Mu Qiqi’s face suddenly turned red. “Shameless man.”


  Women were always wary of capricious things. Old Master Lin had always cared about his face. Moreover, he had already gone back on his word once. There was no guarantee that he would not go back on his word a second time.

  When Sheng Xiao heard Mu Qiqi’s soft words, the hand that was holding her chin suddenly tightened.

  “Don’t seduce me. Behave yourself, alright?”


  Mu Qiqi met Sheng Xiao’s eyes and knew that he was thinking about the word ‘shameless’. She immediately laughed out loud. “Old Man, I’m not even three months pregnant and you can’t take it anymore?”


  Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s chin and rubbed her thin lips back and forth. “After three months, I don’t have to hold it in anymore.”


  Alright, Mu Qiqi had to admit that her heart that he had turned the tables on her with her joke. She was losing her mind……

  It was nighttime. Lin Mu’an was planning to go home as per their previous agreement. He wanted to give the old man a head’s up first because after thinking about it, he was worried about the old man’s heart.

  However, when he returned home, Lin Mu’an only saw his aunt.

  “Are you looking for your grandfather?” Aunt Lin put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at her nephew. “He went out to meet his friends in the evening and hasn’t returned yet. Sometimes, he forgets the time.”


  “Aunt……” Lin Mu’an sat down beside his aunt because he knew that she was the person who understood the old man the most in this world. “What if something happens at the engagement party tomorrow and the old man loses face?”


  Aunt Lin turned her head toward her nephew. “The worst case scenario is that the old man can’t stand the stimulation and ends up in the hospital.”


  “Auntie.”


  “I’m just teasing you,” Aunt Lin said with a smile. “Your grandfather is stubborn, has a temper, and is especially inflexible. However, don’t underestimate him because of that. Since you’re getting engaged tomorrow, there’s nothing to worry about. Young people have to go through some hardships before they realize that some things aren’t easy to come by.”


  Lin Mu’an was relieved. “Thank you, Auntie.”


  “What are you thanking me for? You being happy is my wish as an Auntie.”


  Lin Mu’an looked at the time. It was nine o’clock at night. If the old man didn’t come home by ten o’clock, he would drive out to pick him up……

  At this moment, at the Golden Residence Teahouse in Jianchuan.

  Old Master Lin had been drinking tea and playing chess with a few old friends. However, Song Bozhi had spent a lot of effort to appear at the door of the old man’s private room.

  “Old Master Lin, we meet again.”


  When he saw Song Bozhi, he knew that this person had wild motives.

  Before the young couple got engaged, or rather, when they got engaged, there would definitely be some big trouble. He didn’t expect that his guess would really be correct.

  Old Master Lin knew that he couldn’t avoid tonight’s incident, so he said to Song Bozhi, “If you have time, let’s have a cup of tea together.”


  “Sure, it’s better to meet by chance. I’ve long wanted to treat you to tea.” Song Bozhi made a welcoming gesture.

  Old Master Lin said a few words to his good friend before he went to the private room next door with Song Bozhi.

  After the two of them sat down, Song Bozhi poured tea for Old Master Lin in a gentlemanly manner.

  Old Master Lin looked at the cup of tea in front of him and couldn’t help but laugh. “CEO Song, what news do you have to pass on to an old man like me?”


  “Old Master Lin, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t have any news to pass on, and I’m not trying to ruin Qianqian and Young Master Lin’s engagement party,” Song Bozhi replied calmly.

  “Then what?”


  Trying to curry favor for no reason?

  “Qianqian and I are separated by fate, so it’s not worth mentioning. However, there’s something I need to say. If Qianqian and the young master find out that they have a child after their engagement in the future, I hope that you can spare the child’s life. If it’s the offspring of the Song family, I’ll naturally bring it back to where it rightfully belongs and not cause any trouble for the Lin family.”


  Old Master Lin had to admit that Song Bozhi’s words had ignited the flames of his suspicion.

  However, he would not be fooled.

  “That girl from the Lu family might not have been a good person in the past, but ever since she got together with my brat, she hasn’t had the time to be fickle. So, I don’t really understand what you mean.” Old Master Lin suppressed the anger in his heart as he maintained his composure on the surface.

  “How do you know that she doesn’t have any?”


  “Do you have evidence?”


  “Evidence…… Of course I do, but I don’t want to take it out today.” Song Bozhi sipped his tea gently, his smile flawless.

  Old Master Lin instantly felt his blood pressure rise, and his heart beat fast.

  When Song Bozhi saw that Grandpa Lin’s expression wasn’t right, he naturally knew to stop when things were still alright. “Thank you for the tea today, old sir. We…… will meet again another time.”


  Old Master Lin didn’t say anything because he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

  Listening to his words, it seemed like he was bound to cause trouble tomorrow.

  However, before he could even catch his breath, Song Bozhi had already disappeared from the entrance of the private room.

  Following that, a waiter from the teahouse noticed Old Master Lin and leaned on the table uncomfortably. “Old Man, are you alright?”


  “Please get me some medicine and make a call for me.”
……

  It was already 9:45p.m. when Lin Mu’an received the call.

  He had planned to go out. He didn’t expect the old man to call him.

  Soon, Lin Mu’an arrived at the entrance of the teahouse. When he saw the old man’s ashen face, he immediately realized that something bad had happened.

  The old man got into the car and didn’t say anything. Even after entering the house, he didn’t say a word.

  “Grandfather, if you’re unhappy, just say it.” Lin Mu’an followed behind him and placed the car keys on the coffee table.

  The old man turned around and glared at Lin Mu’an. “Are you sure you’re the only one?”


  “Grandfather…… did you meet someone you shouldn’t have?” Lin Mu’an instantly got confirmation that someone was stirring up trouble with the old man.

  “Stay out of it.”


  “Grandfather, I don’t want to argue with you over this again,” Lin Mu’an answered seriously. “I believe in my woman.”


  The old man took a deep breath and finally nodded. “I hope you won’t regret it.”


  Lin Mu’an didn’t know what the old man meant when he said that, but he guessed that the old man must have met the b*stard from the Song family when he went out.

  “Also, if anything embarrassing happens in the family in the future, don’t blame me for turning against you.”


  Lin Mu’an knew the severity of the matter when he heard this. He knelt in front of the old man with a plop.

  “Grandfather, someone will definitely come to cause trouble tomorrow. If I embarrass you, it means that I’m unfilial.”
