Chapter 912 - Dumbfounded?

At eleven o’clock at night, Sheng Xiao took a shower and went to bed. When he saw the empty seat beside him, he could not help making fun of himself for what he was feeling.

Usually, when he went to bed, he would be pestered, hugged, and groped. Today, there was no one beside him.

If he was a normal person, he would not be able to feel such a difference.

Forget it. Sheng Xiao lay down on his own, but no matter how he tossed and turned, he could not fall asleep.

Similarly, Mu Qiqi, who was at the Lu family’s home, felt the same right after Lu Qianqian fell asleep. What happened to being part of the Lu family? However, it was not Sheng Xiao who was lying next to her, so she could not touch him at any time. Her heart itched for him and she missed him dearly.

So, in the middle of the night, she sent Sheng Xiao a text message.

“Xiao Xiao... Are you asleep?”

Sheng Xiao looked at her text. Who cares about you? You’re the one who wanted to sleep elsewhere.

A second text came.

“Alright, then I’m going to sleep too.”

Sheng Xiao glanced at her text again before he replied, “What time is it? You’re still holding your phone.”

“I... Well, actually, I want to go home. Why don’t you come pick me up?”

“I don’t want to get up,” Sheng Xiao answered directly.

Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. She didn’t believe that this man could get used to sleeping without her. Where did he learn to be so arrogant?

“Then, I’ll take a taxi myself.”

He was silent for three seconds before replying unhurriedly, “Get dressed and wait for me at the Lu family’s home entrance.”

Mu Qiqi got out of bed quietly. Although Lu Qianqian was indeed excited about the engagement party the next day, she didn’t appear so since she fell asleep. Even when Mu Qiqi left the room, she didn’t wake up.

Twenty minutes later, a black Bentley stopped at the doorstep of the Lu family’s home.

Mu Qiqi saw her man and blushed a little. “It’s not because I miss you. I miss the bed.”

“Then, shall I move the bed over for you?” Sheng Xiao looked at her and was rather displeased.

Mu Qiqi made a little sound but did not say anything. After returning home, she laid on the bed as she wished. Only then did she feel satisfied, especially with Sheng Xiao beside her. That sense of security immediately made her sleepy.

Out of habit, Mu Qiqi subconsciously reached out to hug Sheng Xiao’s waist. Usually when he was angry, he would sulk. Now, he lowered his head to look at the hand on his waist and immediately felt that he was strange. A thirty-year-old man was actually controlled by such a thing.

“Without you, I wouldn’t be able to sleep well anywhere.”

Mu Qiqi mumbled in her sleep.

After he heard this, he turned and reached out to pull the pregnant woman into his arms. He hugged her in peace.

..

The next morning, the sky turned blue.

Lu Qianqian got up to put on her makeup, but Mu Qiqi was nowhere to be seen on the bed. After searching around the house, Lu Qianqian panicked and finally saw the note on the dressing table.

“This pregnant woman can’t sleep. Went home to sleep. Will come back tomorrow morning.”

Lu Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief and laughed. This person was so ambitious last night that she wanted to sleep with her, but in the end? She couldn’t leave her CEO’s side at all.

After that, Lu Qianqian welcomed the makeup artist into the house. Mama Lu also got up early to prepare for her daughter’s engagement party.

However, during the makeup process, Lu Qianqian thought that the Song family might cause trouble today, so she gave her mother a warning in advance.

“Mommy, that person surnamed Song might embarrass you and Grandfather Lin at the engagement party. At that time, no matter what you see, don’t be angry, because we will take care of it, okay?”

“Got it.” Mama Lu nodded, but her eyes turned red as she thought of her husband.

If he hadn’t left so quickly, he would have been able to see their daughter in her wedding dress.

“Mommy...”

“Okay, I got it. Today is your big day.” Mama Lu turned around to wipe away her tears.

Lu Qianqian knew that she was sad. She couldn’t bear to say anything else to her anymore, so she changed the topic. “Mommy, I’m a little hungry. Before I go out, I want to eat your breakfast.”

“I’ll go now.”

Lu Qianqian then looked at herself in the mirror. She... was the bride-to-be today. All the bigwigs in Jianchuan would be coming over to celebrate for her. However, she also knew that she would definitely be put in a difficult position and hurt today, even though she didn’t understand why she had to be treated like this. However, deep down in her heart, she never blamed Mu Qiqi.

At 8:30 a.m., the Lin family’s car arrived at the Lu family’s home.

Lin Mu’an was dressed in a pure black handmade gown that wrapped around his muscular body. Due to frequent training, his figure looked tall and slender. And due to frequent exposure to the sun and rain, the man’s face seemed to have been sharpened. Even his skin tone looked even more masculine.

Lu Qianqian stood on the second floor and watched. She was mesmerized by this man in that formal attire.

“Mommy, I’m here to pick Qianqian up.” Lin Mu’an walked to Mama Lu and bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

Mama Lu walked upstairs and held Lu Qianqian’s hand. When Lin Mu’an saw that she was wearing the gown that he had personally customized, his eyes turned slightly red.

Lu Qianqian was like a fairy in a painting. Her dark hair was slightly curly and draped lazily over her shoulders. Her makeup wasn’t glamorous, but she looked very elegant. The makeup artist didn’t do her hair up because she was already at a bright and youthful age. She was already at her most beautiful, so she didn’t need to give her the aura of a young woman which was what she already had.

Lin Mu’an stared at her until Lu Qianqian walked up to him. “Are you dumbfounded?”

“You’re too good-looking.” Lin Mu’an couldn’t think of any out-of-this-world adjectives. The only word left in his mind was ‘good-looking’.

“You’re also very handsome.” Lu Qianqian reached out and helped him tidy up his bow tie.

“Then... let’s set off now.”

Lin Mu’an held Lu Qianqian’s hand. He was so nervous that he was sweating a little.

..

The ceremony was held on a lawn by the sea.

At this moment, they were already in a sea of white roses. The roses that had just been flown in in the morning were exuding vitality.

Soon, Old Master Lin, Aunt Lin, and Mama Lu appeared at the entrance of the hotel to welcome their respective guests.

Jianchuan’s media naturally wouldn’t let such a grand engagement ceremony go. Lin Mu’an had already communicated with the media that no one was allowed to divulge any information about today’s shoot during the ceremony. Otherwise, they would not be allowed to enter and they would be held accountable by the law.

Because of their identities, there was actually no need for such a grand ceremony. They were on their guard because they wanted to stop Song Bozhi.

At the same time, everyone knew that if the Song family wanted to cause trouble, no one would be able to stop them.

However, Lu Qianqian wasn’t afraid. No matter what the Song family wanted to do today, they would come after her. She definitely wouldn’t let that scum down.
