People were scared of Sheng Xiao. He would not be influenced by anything when he wanted to do something. He would just follow his heart. And he never repeated his ways in taking revenge. This made people unable to predict his move. And more importantly, he would remember everything people did to him.
Seeing Sheng Xiao side with Mu Qiqi, Major General Zhong immediately backed out. He had to think about his son’s future even if he could have not thought about his own.
The consequences of going against Sheng Xiao would be very ugly. He did not wish to see his son being hung up somewhere in a mountain four thousand meters above sea level, unable to call for help.
Sheng Xiao had done that to many people.
Major General Zhong wanted to leave without being noticed. But Sheng Xiao saw him turning around. So, he called him. “Major General Zhong, if I know your son being rude to Mu Qiqi in a public place, his mouth… Then your son will suffer.”
“There are five people all together. Are you going to deal with each of them?”
“They are just five. I can just use some extra money to do so. I have tons.”
Major General Zhong’s face turned pale but he was helpless in front of Sheng Xiao. So, he had no choice but to leave quietly.
“Hmph, those people are really afraid of the strong but like to bully the weak.” Grandpa Shen snorted. “I am old now. I have lost my glory in the old days.”
“That is because they underestimate you.”
Grandpa Shen did not think much about their relationship. To him, Sheng Xiao was Mu Qiqi’s savior. So, it would be natural for Sheng Xiao to have the desire to protect Mu Qiqi.
“Then I will let you handle this.”
Grandpa Shen smiled and pushed Mu Qiqi toward Sheng Xiao. “Don’t cause too much trouble for Uncle Sheng.”
Sheng Xiao cocked his brows while looking at Mu Qiqi. When she was about to say something, Shen Ruoyi approached them. “Uncle Xiao, do you still remember me?”
Sheng Xiao glanced at Shen Ruoyi and asked her in a nonchalant tone. “Who are you?”
“I am…”
“Never mind. I don’t need to know who you are. Remembering names is troublesome. Qiqi, follow me.” Sheng Xiao did not let Shen Ruoyi finish her sentence and left with Mu Qiqi straightaway. With Sheng Xiao by Mu Qiqi’s side, everyone was focusing on them once again.
3“The crown prince of the Sheng family seems to be quite close to the daughter of the Shen with a different surname.”
“No wonder she is so arrogant. She has the crown prince backing her up.”
Why did the young masters fear Sheng Xiao? Because he never let anyone go, not even his closest family, when he got irritated. He would drive them to the brink of death with all sorts of torture.
So, he was a well-known demon to the outsiders.
Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi to the buffet counter and got her some food. Because she told him in a text message saying she had not eaten anything since then, so the first thing Sheng Xiao wanted to do when he came here was to feed her.
“Xiaoxiao, I think you are the reason Shen Ruoyi is trying to get close to me! She likes you!” Mu Qiqi’s eyes were fixated on the man beside her while she was holding the plate.
Sheng Xiao looked at Mu Qiqi. Was she being jealous?
“Let me tell you one more time. I do not know her,” Sheng Xiao said frankly. “She is just an unimportant person.”
“But she was trying to get close to you by getting close to me!”
“But I know you will not allow her to.” Sheng Xiao smiled confidently. This made Mu Qiqi have an urge to punch him.
Mu Qiqi glared at him. This man was so awful sometimes.
“Don’t worry. No one in this world can beat you, okay?” After teasing Mu Qiqi, he grinned and made an additional remark to comfort her.
Mu Qiqi smiled. She took some food and sat at a table. Sheng Xiao sat beside her. He put his right hand on the backrest of Mu Qiqi’s chair, telling the whole world that she was in his protection, warning them not to go near her. After seeing this, no one would dare to mess with Mu Qiqi again.
Not far away, Shen Ruoyi looked at Mu Qiqi with envy. She was very envious of Qiqi that her eyes had turned red.
For so many years, she could only look at Sheng Xiao from afar. She never had the chance to get close to him like Mu Qiqi was now. She dreamt about it, craved for it.
But Sheng Xiao did not remember her at all.
Not a single bit!
So, getting close to Mu Qiqi was her only way to get close to Sheng Xiao. When she lowered her head, she suddenly thought of the item in her clutch bag.
She was nervous. She had never done a thing so unpleasant before. But she did not want to lose the chance.
She was struggling with her indecisiveness.
Mu Qiqi indulged in her food. She felt better now. Then, Grandpa Shen approached them and said to Mu Qiqi, “Qiqi, come with me. I want to introduce you to the grandson of Grandpa Lin.”
Mu Qiqi was dumbfounded. She turned her head and glanced at Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao was not showing any expression on his face. But Mu Qiqi sensed that he was suppressing himself. So, Mu Qiqi smiled awkwardly at Grandpa Shen and said, “Grandpa, I am still hungry. And I don’t think I can give him a good impression today.”
“They will not mind. Hurry and get up.”
“Grandpa, I really do not want to get to know this young master of the Lin family. Can you let it pass this time?” Mu Qiqi felt helpless. Then she told him bluntly, “I have a boyfriend.”
“You must be lying.” Grandpa Shen stared at her. “Even if it is true, he is just still a boyfriend. You are not married to him yet. I just want you to get a new friend. What are you afraid of?”
“But I am…” She was afraid of the man beside her. He might devour her whole.
Shen Ruoyi came and supported Grandpa Shen’s idea. She said, “Young Master Lin is a handsome man. You will like him.”
“But I think Sister suits him better. Grandpa, please don’t force me, okay?”
Grandpa Shen sighed helplessly. He pointed his finger at Mu Qiqi. “You are a foolish girl.”
“Being stupid is good sometimes,” Mu Qiqi implied.
“Bring your boyfriend home on another day. I want to see him!” Grandpa Shen left in disappointment.
Mu Qiqi saw Young Master Lin among the crowd. She was not all that interested in him.
But Shen Ruoyi was not giving up yet. She continued to persuade her. “Qiqi, Mu’an is a good man. You will like him. You should not reject Grandpa’s good intention.”
“Sister Ruoyi, I have a boyfriend,” Mu Qiqi answered patiently.
Shen Ruoyi carried on anyway. “You will understand Grandpa in the future.”
After a while, Lin Mu’an approached Mu Qiqi. He put his hand on his chest and said, “This is my first time being rejected by a girl. Miss Qiqi, you really make me sad.”
