Chapter 237 - I Need to Spoil Her No Matter What Happens

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Shen family remained quiet all the way home, especially Grandpa Shen.

He seemed much older now. He was not like his usual self. He did not appear friendly and funny. A lot of things happened recently. So, he was indeed exhausted.

“Dad, let me deal with these kinds of things from now on. Before Shen Lin goes into the army, you could ask him to go fishing with you. You could ask Qiqi to come too.”

Grandpa Shen held Shen Lin’s hand and nodded his head. “I can’t lose any of you now. I don’t have any choice with them.”

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ve learnt my lesson. I’ll be an honest and good man from now on.” Shen Lin told his grandpa.

Grandpa Shen was relieved. He went to his room and took a rest after they returned home.

At that moment, Shen Lin was throwing away Third Uncle and his family’s belongings. They should not think of coming back to the Shen family in the future.

Third Uncle knew about that incident on his way home. He also knew what was waiting for him. It was him who had promised to leave the Shen family before. Now, he could only blame his wife.

He did not want the luggage now. Firstly, he needed to find a home for him and his family. Then, he went to the hospital because Shen Ruoyi was hurt and they were bandaging her wound now.

He could only sigh when he saw his wife hugging his daughter and cry in front of him.

They were the ones who had plotted against others. They could only blame themselves.

“Mu Qiqi succeeded in getting rid of Rong Junhan. You didn’t even take a look at yourselves. I told you that we need to live in peace with them. But, what did you do? You made a mess again after only a few days. Now, they won’t have a place for us in the Shen family.”

Both mother and daughter cried bitterly. At the same time, their hatred became deeper and stronger.

Shen Ruoyi was injured. She even swore to herself in her heart that she would become an exceptional person in the future so that the Shen family would regret having wronged them. She must be able to do that.

Mu Qiqi took out Xiaoxiao’s things from the storeroom and put them back at its original place in the villa.

Sheng Xiao returned home from Huang Yao. He noticed that Mu Qiqi was not in a good mood. He then pressed her onto the wall and looked directly into her eyes. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy that the Third Uncle and his family are kicked out from the Shen family?”

“I’m certainly happy. But, I feel that I’m still quite weak. I don’t dare to admit our relationship in front of my grandpa.” Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao’s eyes and said, “I even hid your things and I was scared that the others might find out about it. I hate myself like this.

“You’re the Crown Prince from Huang Yao. But, you couldn’t reveal our relationship and you have no choice but to play this kind of childish secret love with me.”

“I like it.” Sheng Xiao lifted Mu Qiqi’s chin and smiled playfully at her. “It doesn’t matter if we reveal or hide our relationship from the others. It’s meaningful as long as I’m being with my little one. I don’t care about others.”

“Xiaoxiao…”

“That’s enough. It’s a wonderful day today. Don’t talk about sad things. Or, do you want me to punish you so that you’ll keep quiet?”

Mu Qiqi kept her mouth shut. “I haven’t taken a shower. My body is covered in grime…”

“Go and take your shower then. I’ll wait for you in bed after ten minutes.”

Mu Qiqi kept quiet and moved away from Sheng Xiao’s arms. Thus, Sheng Xiao was left with the job of tidying the things.

“I need to spoil and adore her no matter what happens since she’s the little one I love.”

At night, Grandpa Shen was upset not because of Mu Qiqi. But, he was having a difficult time because of his own daughter-in-law and granddaughter. They were cunning and wicked. Did he not teach them well?

Grandpa Shen sighed when he thought about that.

The next morning, he called Sheng Xiao. “When are you free? Come and have tea with me.”

Sheng Xiao was holding Mu Qiqi in his embrace. His eyes darkened when he heard that. “Tomorrow.”

“Then, I’ll prepare the best tea. Be punctual.”

Mu Qiqi heard her grandpa’s voice. She soon got up from bed. But, Sheng Xiao told her, “Your grandpa is still suspicious. He asked me to go and meet him to see whether he could gain any clue from me.”

“Then, you…”

“It’s not something you should worry about. Go and clean yourself up. I’ll send you to the university.” Sheng Xiao did not want to pressure his little one. He then slapped her hip early in the morning.

Mu Qiqi pouted her lips and got out of bed. Suddenly, an idea popped into her brain. She saw Sheng Xiao entering the bathroom after her. She stopped brushing her teeth and said to Sheng Xiao, “Why don’t we tell him the truth?”

“I have my own arrangement.” Sheng Xiao told Mu Qiqi.

“Then, how did you plan to deal with Grandpa?”

Actually, Grandpa Shen was always suspicious about them. So, it meant that he had somehow prepared himself for it. If that was the case, Sheng Xiao would go and meet him to see his reaction and attitude first.

Sheng Xiao lifted Mu Qiqi up and put her on the sink because he did not want her to ask him any more questions. He took her toothbrush.

“Xiaoxiao…”

“If you ask me one more time, I’ll do it to you again. I’ll let you witness how much energy I have.”

Could Mu Qiqi say that she had regretted it? It was early in the morning and she needed to go to class with a scarf around herself for fear that the others might see the marks on her.

He was indeed an annoying man…

On the other hand, it did not have much influence on the Shen family since Cen Suyun and her daughter had left them. But, Huang Yu became more filial and obedient toward Grandpa Shen. It was because she knew that Grandpa Shen would miss Shen Ruoyi when his anger subsided in the future since Shen Ruoyi grew up in the Shen family. Certainly, they would have feelings for each other.

So, she asked Shen Lin to spend more time with Grandpa Shen.

“Mom, Grandpa has asked Uncle Sheng to come over. Do you know why?”

Huang Yu shook her head when she heard Shen Lin’s question. “I don’t know either. They might have something to discuss among them.”

On the other hand, Lin Mu’an passed by the martial arts center which was frequented by Lu Qianqian. Suddenly, he thought about the moments he had spent with Lu Qianqian. Certainly, Lu Qianqian was a vicious girl. She declared not to contact him and she really did that.

Lin Mu’an said to the drive when he thought about that. “Stop here for awhile. I need to go down and take a look.”

The drive nodded his head and parked the car beside the road. Lin Mu’an could not help himself. He went to the martial arts center and he did find Lu Qianqian beating the sandbag there.

That girl was indeed cruel.

“If you don’t want to contact me, then you shouldn’t come to this martial arts center.” Lin Mu’an did not hold himself back. He folded his arms and walked toward Lu Qianqian. He leaned against the sandbag and asked her, “Do you care so much how others see you?”

“Don’t you care?” Lu Qianqian peeked at him. She was panting because she was beating the sandbag just now.

“I don’t care…”

“I care.” Lu Qianqian shoved him away. “You’re in my way.”

“I’ll continue to be your training buddy.”

“Bastard, I’m trying to avoid you. Can’t you see that?” Lu Qianqian said rather impatiently. “We don’t belong in the same world. Don’t come here next time.”

“Does this center belong to your family?”

“That’s right. This martial arts center belongs to my family.”

“Then, why don’t you give me an eighty percent discount?” Lin Mu’an was shocked. He soon tried to save his face and followed closely behind her.
