At this moment, right below Zhongteng, a cleaning worker was sweeping the floor by the roadside. From time to time, he would look at Zhongteng’s main door.

  In the morning, he saw Mu Qiqi enter. In the evening, he saw Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao coming out from Zhongteng’s main door.

  After leaving the Lou Corporation’s inauguration ceremony, Feng Qiang tied up a cleaning worker and stripped him of his clothes. He dressed himself up as someone dirty and smelly, making it impossible for others to get close to him.

  While he was cleaning the streets around Zhongteng, he was also dining at the place where Zhongteng staff dined. Although people would despise him if they saw him, no one ever thought that this was the criminal, Feng Qiang, who was currently wanted by the police.

  “President Sheng is going to Z City for a meeting. I heard that he will bring a group of employees there. I don’t know who is lucky enough to be there. I heard that the snacks in Z City are very delicious.”


  “When is CEO Sheng going?”


  “This isn’t news. How come you didn’t know about it? The day after tomorrow morning.”


  The employees of Zhongteng were all talking about Sheng Xiao’s business trip to Z City, and they didn’t expect a cleaner to hear about it.

  In fact, the employees of Zhongteng didn’t have so much free time. However, the higher-ups requested that the news be spread no matter where the employees ate. That was why this group of people would discuss such a matter at such an occasion.

  So, Sheng Xiao was going on a business trip.

  However, it was just a business trip. Was there a need to make such a big fuss about it?

  Feng Qiang sneered. He was more willing to believe that this was a trap set up by Sheng Xiao and the police officer just to lure him in. Did they think that he, Feng Qiang, was so easily fooled?

  However, since Sheng Xiao was willing to lie to him, he might as well play with Sheng Xiao. He wanted Sheng Xiao’s little bride to be buried with his Shen Mei……

  After dinner, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi went home together. Then, they saw their lawyer waiting at home.

  Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao in confusion. However, Sheng Xiao carried her upstairs and asked the lawyer to follow them to the study to discuss.

  “President Sheng, this is the will that you asked me to draw up. Apart from the shares of Zhongteng and Huang Yao, all the movable and real estate under your name will be inherited by Madam.” The lawyer placed the will in front of Sheng Xiao.

  “What are you doing?” Mu Qiqi suddenly frowned and looked at Sheng Xiao unhappily.

  “Birth, old age, illness, and death are nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. I’ve already drawn up the will, but I haven’t gone forward with any of the official processes.” Sheng Xiao said matter-of-factly. “I believe that if I leave everything to you, my parents won’t have any objections.”


  “You don’t have any objections? Well, I do.” After saying that, Mu Qiqi turned to look at the lawyer and said loudly to him, “I want to make a will too.”


  “What do you have for me?” Sheng Xiao looked at her with amusement and asked.

  “Why wouldn’t I have any? This is in my stomach.” Mu Qiqi pointed at her stomach.

  “Don’t tell me that if you make a will, the child won’t call me Dad?” Sheng Xiao stopped her and did not allow her to be willful. “This is just in case. I could have done it behind your back, but now that I’m in front of you, can’t you just calm down and listen to what I have to say?”


  Only then did Mu Qiqi calm down. She looked at Sheng Xiao as if she wanted to see what he could say.

  “I’ve made such a big move just to show Feng Qiang. Tomorrow, the lawyer will go to the notary. Feng Qiang will naturally think that I’m going on this business trip because I’m determined to die.

  “For the sake of making it look real, I want to sign this will.”


  “Are you trying to scare me?” Mu Qiqi obviously did not accept this reason. “If you sign it, it counts! Do you think I’m stupid? If you want to sign it, fine. Write a supplementary statement. The will is only in effect for a certain period and will not count after a certain time.”


  “Otherwise, I’ll take your son and run away. It’s up to you.”


  When the lawyer heard Mu Qiqi’s tone in her threat, he immediately laughed. “CEO Sheng, why don’t you listen to Madam? Even if you want to act, there’s still room for some changes.”


  “Alright then.” Sheng Xiao nodded and wrote a supplementary statement before signing and putting his seal on it. “Are you satisfied now?”


  “Are you so sure that Feng Qiang will really fall for it?” Mu Qiqi was displeased when she saw the word ‘will’.

  This man was only in his early thirties and could still wreak havoc for at least fifty years. How was he like an old man now?

  “Master Xiao, let me tell you. I’ve already made my stance clear. Whether you live or die, I’ll follow you. When the child is born, there are so many elders like Dad, Mom, and Grandfather who love him. I’m not afraid that he won’t have parents.”


  Sheng Xiao raised his head and glanced at the lawyer. He told the lawyer to take the will and leave quickly.

  The lawyer understood and quickly packed the documents before disappearing from the Banyan Courtyard.

  Sheng Xiao then carried Mu Qiqi and placed her on his lap. “Don’t talk about following me till death so often. I have no intention of dying. You have to live until I’m a hundred years old.”


  “Then wouldn’t that make you an old monster?” Mu Qiqi shook her head. The moment she thought of that scene, she felt a chill run down her spine. “Also, what’s the point of living so long? If you’re here, I’ll be here. If you’re not here, I’ll live until I’m a hundred years old and suffer? When that happens, my children will despise me and send me to a nursing home. Let’s see if your heart aches.”


  “Idiot.” Sheng Xiao chuckled and sat on the chair with Mu Qiqi in his arms. He did not move for a long time.

  The feeling of having his wife and child in his arms was very special.

  After a long while, he finally whispered in Mu Qiqi’s ear, “When you’re twenty-two years old, I’ll immediately apply for our marriage to be official and get a marriage certificate.”


  “Who cares?” Mu Qiqi slid down from Sheng Xiao’s body.

  Sheng Xiao watched her enter the bathroom with her belly puffed out. The smile on his face became even more obvious.

  She had made up her mind to stay with him no matter what. Therefore, he could not let anything happen to himself, nor could he walk ahead of her and leave her alone to be sad.

  However, this thing had not asked him for an answer.

  If she left first, what would he do?

  He would not choose to commit suicide because the experience with this thing was enough for him to slowly reminisce for the rest of his life. Only when one was alive could one have feelings. Once one was dead, there would really be nothing left.

  He greedily wanted to live and feel more of the little things he had with her……

  Mu Qiqi, who had entered the bathroom, leaned against the wall and felt uncomfortable because she had never thought that Sheng Xiao would actually plan to make a will. They had been together for so long, and this was the first time she had imagined in excruciating detail what she would do if Master Xiao was gone.

  And thought that she might be in so much pain that she would forget to breathe.

  It will be fine.

  So what if it was Feng Qiang?

  Master Xiao had never lost before, and this time won’t be any different. He would never lose.

  Mu Qiqi felt a little better when she thought about this. Only then did she straighten her body and pick up the toothpaste that was specially made for pregnant women.

  However, she realized that her hands were actually trembling.

  Was she that scared?
