Chapter 847 - You Used to be Shameless, Why Are You Pretending Now?

“It’s fine if you buy the bed, but Grandpa will take care of the other things that the child needs!” Industrial designers were the ones who knew how to make things.

That was why Papa Sheng could be so bold.

“Thank you, Daddy...”

“You’re welcome. We’re all family.” Papa Sheng waved his hand and smiled.

Then, the couple went upstairs.

Sheng Xiao placed the crib next to the big bed. This way, the atmosphere of the family of three was even more obvious.

Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao from behind and buried her little face in his back. “It’s so blissful that it’s unreal...”

“You used to be shameless, but why are you pretending now?” Sheng Xiao turned around and lifted her chin. “Go wash up. It’s time for bed...”

“Do you hate me? I thought you were going to kiss me.”

Seeing her disappear at the bedroom door, the corners of Sheng Xiao’s lips slowly curled up. His heart was extremely warm.

..

Ever since Mu Qiqi had taken a leave of absence, although she had benefited from the school’s low-key management, the public had gradually started to make noise. Moreover, ever since then, very few people had seen Mu Qiqi.

Was she really seriously ill?

When Jin Bo received the news, he had no choice but to keep an eye on Mu Qiqi’s situation.

This was because he knew very well how important Mu Qiqi was to the Shen family and Sheng Xiao. The girl suddenly falling ill should not be a coincidence.

Therefore, he called Sheng Kai. “Ah Kai, Mu Qiqi is seriously ill. Have you received any news?”

“I’ve heard,” Sheng Kai replied indifferently. He was currently meeting a client outside.

“You’re a member of the Sheng family, so you must have a way to find out if this news is true. You also know that Mu Qiqi is everyone’s Achilles heel when it comes to taking down the Sheng family. Don’t let a useful chess piece disappear just like that.”

“Alright, Godfather, I’ll think of a way to find out.”

Jin Bo wanted to clear away the obstacles for Liang. The number one enemies were the Shen family and Sheng Xiao. Mu Qiqi’s existence was so important that Jin Bo naturally did not want to make a mistake.

In fact, Sheng Kai also felt that Mu Qiqi’s illness was very strange.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, if Sheng Xiao wanted to prevent Jin Bo from hiding Mu Qiqi, it would be too early. Moreover, Mu Qiqi was not a person who was willing to endure being in hiding, unless she was really sick.

Not long after the call with Jin Bo ended, Cheng Bin called again. “I plan to make a move tomorrow. Thinking about it, I don’t have anyone else to call, so I can only ask you. CEO Sheng, I still have a younger brother at home named Cheng Xia. He’s disappointing, but he and I are blood relatives after all. If my plan doesn’t succeed, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him.”

“Have you planned everything out?” Sheng Kai asked calmly.

“Yes, I can’t wait any longer...” Cheng Bin answered.

“Godfather sent some helpers to you. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

“A woman. It took a long time.” Cheng Bin snorted coldly.

Sheng Kai didn’t ask who it was because it might arouse Cheng Bin’s suspicion, but Sheng Kai now knew it was a woman.

“Go ahead. Leave your brother to me.” Sheng Kai hung up the phone.

He was hesitating, should he tell Sheng Xiao about this or not?

He was also afraid that this was a trap set up by Cheng Bin and Jin Bo to test him. After all, Sheng Xiao had offered tempting terms in order to win him back. He knew that Jin Bo was very suspicious.

The truth was as he had expected. After Cheng Bin ended the call, he told Jin Bo, “If my plan fails tomorrow, Master Jin, you can consider crippling Sheng Kai.”

“You don’t need to be suspicious of people. I’m just being careful.”

After all, no matter how much Sheng Kai hated Sheng Xiao, he was still a member of the Sheng family.

If he wanted to use people, he had to make sure that they were loyal.

“And Master Jin, did you really send Miss Song to help me?”

Jin Bo smiled mysteriously at this point. There was no doubt about it.

Song Qiao had long told Jin Bo about her plan. If Cheng Bin’s plan failed, she would act as a hero, save Feng Shanshan, gain her trust, and then make her disappear without an opportunity to investigate.

“I wish you success in your revenge tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Master Jin.”

Cheng Bin hung up the phone and gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine. After so many years of enmity, it was time to put an end to it with Tang Yan. Don’t blame him for being despicable. Compared to the time when Tang Yan was undercover, he felt that he was being much gentler.

..

The next day, it was Feng Shanshan’s prenatal check-up. Tang Yan had not gone on a business trip for several months. The chief could not stand the pressure anymore, so he said to him, “After accompanying your wife for her prenatal check-up, there’s a big case. The higher-ups are specifically asking for your help. You might be away from home for a few days.”

“Let’s talk about it after I accompany her for her prenatal check-up.”

The bigger Feng Shanshan’s stomach got, the more he did not want to return to his old life.

The chief was helpless against him. “Tang Yan, I understand you. There’s no one at home to take care of your wife, but you have to understand your own identity. In the past few months, I’ve done my best to make things convenient for you, so you have to repay me occasionally. In the past few months, well, you know the case-solving rate of our branch.”

“I can even transfer Xiao Xing to be your assistant. While you’re away, I’ll get her to take care of your wife. What do you think?”

“Wait for me to come back, Chief. There’s no time now.”

Seeing Tang Yan disappear, the chief sighed.

There was nothing he could do.

Tang Yan went to the bureau for an early meeting and drove home to pick up Feng Shanshan for her prenatal checkup.

Feng Shanshan more or less knew that Tang Yan was in a difficult position. The two of them had talked about this matter more than once.

It was just that this man was too stubborn.

Perhaps it was because the chief had done his homework, so Professor Tang eagerly rushed over before the two of them left the house. “Your aunt is on her way here. She will take good care of Shanshan. You should go deal with the chief first.”

Tang Yan was still hesitating.

“Go ahead. Are you afraid that your aunt and I won’t be able to take good care of her?”

Of course, Tang Yan didn’t mean that.

“Uncle and Aunt are both here. Both of them will accompany me to the prenatal checkup. Don’t worry. Go ahead.” Feng Shanshan didn’t think about men always being in a dilemma. She was already satisfied having him accompany her for these few months.

“Tang Yan, don’t forget that you’re also a criminal police officer.”

“Shanshan isn’t feeling very well these few days. Uncle, you should drive as slowly as possible. Or, I can get Xiao Xing to come over and send you to the hospital.”

Feng Shanshan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this.

“How many people do you want surrounding me?”

“You don’t have the right to speak now. Listen to my arrangements,” Tang Yan said firmly. “No matter what happens, call me immediately.”

“You’re the child’s father. Who else can I look for if not you? But you have to promise me that no matter what you do, you have to ensure your own safety.”
