Chapter 404 - What Are You Smiling For? You Silly Thing

Though Gu Ziling was truly a lady born to an important family behaved with the bearing and elegance expected of it, she also held the arrogance of a rich daughter.

She would feel that the world had wronged her over the tiniest of distress, believing that everyone should yield to her and that it only made sense for everyone to treat her well.

At first, Sheng Kai compromised with her, but as time passed and he understood the realm within her heart, Sheng Kai decided that there was little wonder why Sheng Xiao would leave the Sheng family even if it killed him.

After all, Gu Ziling pretty much had a gap the size of a galaxy when she was compared to Mu Qiqi.

And yet, Sheng Kai was forced to marry such a woman because he did not have the courage to betray the Sheng family and Old Sheng.

Having not experienced Sheng Kai being angry, she perhaps felt that she was quite innocent there.

She does not believe that she did anything wrong since all women would choose the strongest men. In her perspective, Sheng Kai was simply flying into a rage out of humiliation.

On that night, the air in the Sheng family was solemn. Everyone was on tenterhooks, afraid that a moment of negligence would provoke the old man and get them chased out of the family without any hint of sentiment.

On the other hand, there was an unprecedented tenderness amongst Sheng Xiao’s family at Imperial Hotel.

Mama Sheng quickly tried to give Mu Qiqi a hug when she saw her, but Mu Qiqi gently pushed her away. “It’s better if you don’t touch me, Mom. I stink.”

Mama Sheng smiled but paid it no mind, “If my son could bear with it, why can’t I?”

“I’ve been helping at the forensics lab in the few days since I’ve started the semester, and I didn’t even get to register myself. It’ll be better when I return to campus.” Mu Qiqi explained.

“You’ve chosen that path. Of course I would support you…”

Papa Sheng suddenly couldn’t help feeling rather guilty when he saw how close his own wife was with Mu Qiqi.

“Qiqi… I’ve not been kind to you. Please don’t keep it at heart… from now on, I would treat you like my own daughter.”

Mu Qiqi smiled, glancing at Sheng Xiao before answering, “I’m already thankful that you could return so that Sheng Xiao wouldn’t lose his family. Let bygones be bygones—we should keep our eyes forward as a family.”

“Qiqi is right.” Mama Sheng added, although she found a chagrined look on Papa Sheng’s eyes. “After all these years, that was the first time I’ve seen your father scold that old man. I’ve even forgotten that he has a temper if he hadn’t done that.”

“And I wouldn’t have known how vast the skies out here could be if I didn’t leave.” Papa Sheng exclaimed, before turning to Sheng Xiao, “When can I start work?”

“It would best if you start as soon as possible, but your mood…”

“No worries. I would forget the unhappy things in the past by working.” Papa Sheng replied. “Allow me to prove my worth, and the day would come that I could tell the old man how I could make a name for myself even without the Sheng family.”

Mama Sheng smiled from the heart then; she finally got to see her husband’s former confident self.

Mu Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief as well when she saw how happy her in-laws were.

Everything was changing for the better.

Later, when Papa Sheng and Mama Sheng went off to the washroom, Sheng Xiao put an arm over Mu Qiqi’s neck. “Who told you to wear a lab coat here?”

“What’s wrong with me?” Mu Qiqi looked confused.

“Don’t you know?” Sheng Xiao asked her in return. “I find you exceedingly alluring every time I see you in it…”

Mu Qiqi’s face went red.

“Let me go. Your parents are coming back soon.”

When Mama Sheng returned and found such a taboo scene, she quickly turned.

Those two children really don’t know the time and place when it came to flirting.

“Mom came back…”

Still, Sheng Xiao only released Mu Qiqi after he had enough kiss and pulled her to stand.

“Are you leaving already?”

“I’m just letting you have a candlelight dinner with Dad…” Sheng Xiao said even as he strode away.

Mama Sheng smiled, shaking her head but did not follow them. She waited until her husband returned and told him, “The two young ones already left.”

Papa Sheng frowned, but Mama Sheng told him, “You know your son. He’s impatient in everything…”

But what was he impatient about? It turned out that our Chief Sheng inadvertently burnt himself with carnal desire while playing with his young wife.

When they got to the car park and got on their car, Sheng Xiao promptly caught Mu Qiqi and put her over his thighs.

“I say, you’re in quite a hurry.”

After all, Mu Qiqi could feel the warmth from his body.

She had assumed that Sheng Xiao would quickly drive her home, and was naturally surprised that he moved the car to a blindspot at the parking lot, closed the windows and went for wave after wave of kisses. “Sorry, little one,” he replied. “I can’t wait until we get home!”

It was an underground parking lot and one in a hotel at that—people were coming in and out from time to time.

Mu Qiqi was extremely nervous, afraid that she might be too loud and draw a crowd.

But Sheng Xiao, aware that she was embarrassed, deliberately stimulated her even more and drove her insane.

Her blouse was already pushed down past her neck, and she was pinned entirely on the steering wheel.

“There… there’s someone here!”

That position almost drove Mu Qiqi mad, let alone get her excited.

Hence, the pair continued their extreme intertwining pleasures at the corner for over two hours, until Mu Qiqi hang limply in Sheng Xiao’s arms, even though the scent of their excitement still lingered in their car.

“Xiao Xiao, I can’t go on… I’m spent…”

Grinning, Sheng Xiao fastened her seatbelt for her and only then sped home.

Nonetheless, Mu Qiqi fell asleep by the time they reached home. Still, her subconscious was perfectly aware of who she was holding, which was why she smiled sweetly.

Sheng Xiao’s heart melted when he saw that.

“What are you smiling for? Silly thing.”

“How nice… you didn’t lose your parents…”

Sheng Xiao stopped in his tracks at her words. In this whole wide world, only this silly thing would think of him and do everything for him with all her heart!

And now, the people he cherished has left the Sheng family. In other words, no one can stop the progress of Zhongteng from now on.

But he doesn’t know that his intention to offer his Second Brother his blessing incidentally buried the roots of disaster in Second Brother’s heart.

Regardless, he would move around Jianchuan as an impoverished live-in son-law, because he would never let Old Sheng learn about his real status.
