Sheng Xiao only gave Mu Qiqi the courage to fight back. But, if Mu Tangxue did not try to harm her repeatedly, Mu Qiqi would not have had to worry about all these things from a young age of eighteen.
Soon, Mu Tangxue and the lawyer left the mansion.
After they left, Su Zipei asked Mu Qiqi, “What were you talking about?”
“Aunt, don’t worry, I am never going to get bullied again.”
“But, you have given me all the shares…”
“They will be more useful in your hands. With the shares, you will not feel that you are not a good match with Uncle Lu.” Mu Qiqi smiled.
Su Zipei sighed and patted Mu Qiqi on her head. “You have changed so much these few months. I almost cannot keep up with you.”
“Aunt, I am just growing up. But, I still need help from Uncle Lu when it comes to matters of speaking for the Mu Group.”
“I will make arrangements. And as for that woman, the lawyer said she can be released on bail.”
“Aunt, I will need to trouble you for her matter. I do not wish to see her.” Mu Qiqi knew that her aunt was talking about her mother. Since she knew that the first thing her mother would do when she was out was to get a divorce from Papa Mu, she would rather just be a bystander. She never felt her mother’s love, nor did she want it now.
“Alright, I know what to do.”
Everything went smoothly. It was just that Lu Wenhua never thought that Mu Qiqi would give all the shares to Su Zipei.
Besides her relationship with Sheng Xiao, the only family member that was close to Mu Qiqi was Su Zipei. Their lives depended on each other. So, while he was touched by Mu Qiqi’s action, he was also worried that Su Zipei would be hurt when she found out about her relationship with Sheng Xiao.
As for Su Zipei, she took Lu Wenhua’s words to heart. She started to take note of her surroundings to see if there was anything wrong at night. Because of her vigilance, she discovered Mu Qiqi’s outings at night.
She did see that Mu Qiqi went out. But she did not know where she went and who she met.
The last time Mu Qiqi went out was to get some snacks and she came back after a short while.
But this time, she did not come home even until one o’clock.
Su Zipei could just give Mu Qiqi a call if she wanted to know Mu Qiqi’s whereabouts. But she kept silent this time because she knew that Mu Qiqi might come up with another excuse to fool her.
Mu Qiqi had yet to know that her secret had been discovered by Su Zipei after being hinted by Lu Wenhua.
She would never miss a night to be with Sheng Xiao. Not even when the weather was bad because that was the only time she could be with him.
After Sheng Xiao told her about what happened earlier that day, he put Mu Qiqi on the washstand. He adjusted his position between her thighs and said, “Since it’s now over, do you want to go for a trip for a few days?”
“Can I?” Mu Qiqi clinched her arms around Sheng Xiao’s neck and asked.
“I will make plans,” Sheng Xiao answered and buried his head in her neck. He kissed her earlobe, the one with his name tattooed.
Mu Qiqi pulled herself to Sheng Xiao and let him do what he desired with her body. Not long after, they moved to the bed again.
Although their first night was not complete, and Sheng Xiao was also waiting with patience, since they had already broken through the boundaries, their making out was getting more intimate and intense. They just did not go to the last step.
Lying on the bed, Sheng Xiao leaned over to Mu Qiqi and tilted her chin upward. “I have not seen you smile for a long time. Why not give me a smile now?”
“How can I smile now?” Mu Qiqi said, holding Sheng Xiao’s neck.
“Why? Are you not satisfied?” Sheng Xiao tempted her.
Mu Qiqi moved forward and kissed Sheng Xiao’s adam’s apple and then she lay down again. “I just want to be with you. But I am scared when I’ll get to know more about the Sheng family.”
“That’s not what you should be thinking about now. When the time is right, I will let you meet the Sheng family. But definitely, not now.” Sheng Xiao caressed Mu Qiqi’s cheeks and promised, “I promise, I will let you conquer them one by one.”
“Is it too early to talk about this?” Mu Qiqi did not want to think about it too early. She was just hoping for it.
Sheng Xiao leaned forward and his mouth found hers again. He bit her lips and said, “I am just telling you that you don’t have to be afraid.”
Then, the night light was turned off. In the darkness, there was only the sound of kissing, nothing else.
Sheng Xiao gave Mu Qiqi all the caress and comfort he could give. Although he knew that the pain was unavoidable, he followed the doctor’s instructions well. He progressed slowly because he cared for Mu Qiqi’s body. He helped Mu Qiqi to adjust her position every time they made out.
It would be good for her!
When it was late at night, Mu Qiqi fell asleep in Sheng Xiao’s arms. She did not want to let go of him even though it was midsummer.
Sheng Xiao was sweating, but he still let her hold on to him.
“Xiaoxiao… I feel hot!”
“Turning on the air conditioning is not good for your body. It slows down your immunity.” Although he said these, he still turned it on. He wanted Mu Qiqi to have a good night’s sleep. He liked spoiling his little thing with his love.
“I want to play with you!” Mu Qiqi said in her dream.
“You must be having dirty thoughts about me!”
But, was the matter with the Mu family settled for good? Not quite…
The next morning, after Mama Mu was released on bail, Su Zipei came to fetch her. Although she did not want to see her sister anymore, she still waited for her at the gate. After all, she had no other place to go.
“I have got you a place to stay. Since you are going to sue Papa Mu, you can still use my lawyer.”
“Zipei, I want to meet with Qiqi…”
“She doesn’t want to see you,” Su Zipei told her frankly. “She is starting university soon. She does not want to get involved with the Mu family again.”
“But I have one thing to tell her.” Mama Mu looked depressed. “I was too selfish…”
“You can tell me.”
Mama Mu looked at Su Zipei and opened her mouth. But she did not say anything. Su Zipei sensed something weird from the way she looked, but she did not ask much.
But if this secret was revealed, everything would change.
Especially Mu Qiqi’s future…
But would she get the chance to say it out? They would not know. Not after Mu Tangxue had promised her father to settle the divorce between him and her mother.
On the other hand, Su Zipei had not found out it was Sheng Xiao that Mu Qiqi went to meet at night. Could the secret remain a secret?
