Chapter 462 - Why Would I Hold You In Disdain?

Sheng Xiao was still in his study late into the night.

When Mu Qiqi was unable to find him as she stepped out of the shower, she went to the study in her bathrobe.

When she saw that Sheng Xiao was still on the phone, she quietly wrapped her arms around the man from behind, rubbing her fragrant body freely over his bag.

Sheng Xiao promptly caught her tiny hands while holding fast to the phone, “That’s decided for tomorrow. Adapt to the situation, to whatever trick the Lu family would try to play.

Once Mu Qiqi heard that it had to do with the Lu family, she waited until Sheng Xiao hung up before asking him, “You’re not sleeping even though it’s late, because you want to help me handle the problem at the Lu family?”

“Even from a businessman’s perspective, tomorrow’s affair count as an investment. We are helping the Lu family now in hopes that they would offer a just reward in return.” Sheng Xiao said, pulling her to him and putting an arm around her.

“All businessmen are really evil. Still, wouldn’t the Lu family’s problem be a little tough?”

“Tough?” Sheng Xiao chuckled. “I could crush ten more of them, let alone a handful of troublemaking stockholders.”

Understanding her man’s ability, Mu Qiqi tugged at his sleeves in comfort. “Then take a break.”

Sheng Xiao lifted her chin and flashed a vague smile. “You want some?”

“Nope. I’m having my period...”

Considering that the date was indeed these few days, Sheng Xiao spared Mu Qiqi. It was only both of them were in bed that his warm palm reached out to gently massage Mu Qiqi’s belly.

Thanks to Aunt Wu’s help with food arrangements, Mu Qiqi rarely had trouble during her period, and basically did not experience cramps or headaches.

Of course, that was also because of the careful attention of the man beside her, who dealt with all matters regardless of importance.

“Xiaoxiao... as a CEO, don’t you think it’s beneath you to do such a thing for a girl?”

“Who are you to me?” Sheng Xiao asked in return.

“Your woman!”

“You really don’t know what’s good for you. Would I do this if it was anyone else?”

In fact, he would throw them up to the moon. It was only because she was his little one that he so willingly cherished and spoiled her.

“I know you’re powerful, but I still would like to do something for you.”

Sheng Xiao’s right hand which had been massaging her paused then, and he held her tightly. “You living like this is already the greatest thing you could do for me.”

“I could do something else for you as well...”

Puzzled, Sheng Xiao was about to ask her about it when she already moved, her body agilely sneaking downwards. All Sheng Xiao could feel was his entire body tightening... when did his little one learn such a trick?

Still, he must say... it is awesome for a man!

After an entire night of fidgeting, Lin Mu’an and Lu Qianqian barely made it through the extremely long night.

When Lu Qianqian put on makeup early in the morning, Mama Lu smiled in content. “Going to visit Mu’an?”

“I’m having lunch with him, Mommy. I’ll be right back, and I won’t miss the important matter in the afternoon.”

“Go on, don’t worry. Just make things clear with Mu’an.”

Lu Qianqian nodded. The truth was that she was worried about the bloodbath storylines that often took place in novels or TV dramas just before a confession of love. Right now, all she wanted was to explain to Lin Mu’an how she felt.

“Brain, stop thinking too much.”

Lu Qianqian then gave her mother a hug. “I’ll do my best, Mommy. I’ll watch over Dad’s work and protect the family with you.”

“Tell Mu’an I said hi.”

Lin Mu’an was actually no better in comparison. Right after the morning classes, he was already thinking and guessing whether his little pepper would come as promised, and his distracted look was seen by both his roommates and the transfer student.

When it was time for lunch break, Lin Mu’an had gone off to the hostel to change, putting on a dark blue turtleneck jumper which reflected some taste.

His roommates could not help teasing him when they saw that. “Are you going to meet Sis-in-law?”

“Oh, how envious.”

Lin Mu’an smiled as he left the hostel, and found the transfer student when he reached the gates.

From the looks of how he was dressed, it was obvious he was going to meet the second-hand goods.

“Don’t you care that she slept with someone else?”

Lin Mu’an had an expectant look on his face before, although he did pause to answer the transfer student’s question, “A person like you would never understand.”

“I would never believe that you don’t mind that at all.”

“The makings of a person’s soul would not be affected by how many men she slept with. As for you, isn’t yours quite ugly even though you’ve never been with a man?

“That is why you would never understand that love could wash away all faults and accept any past. I know that she is worth it, but you don’t have to know that because you would never understand.”

With that, Lin Mu’an headed straight towards the appointed place with Lu Qianqian.

He thought he was early.

He was also worried whether his little pepper would show up.

Nonetheless, he felt a weight off his shoulders when he found Lu Qianqian standing beside her car.

His little pepper came.

And when he reached Lu Qianqian, she extended her hands to embrace him. “I missed you.”

Stunned, Lin Mu’an suddenly felt an impulse to cry. “You’re saying...”

“I missed you last night and this morning.”

Lin Mu’an hence returned her embrace, and they both held tightly to each other.

“Did you know? I thought about so many possibilities on the way here, and my mind kept believing that I wouldn’t see you, that I can’t tell you what I needed to say. My mind also quickly jumped to conclusions when I saw you with that transfer student, but when I saw you come to me without regard for anything else, I knew you’ll let me see you.”

“Silly thing. There could be more trust between us, right?” Lin Mu’an gently poked Lu Qianqian whilst giving her a tender look. “Should I be your boyfriend? And I don’t mean a bestie, but the type that sleeps beside you or have children with...”

“Do... do you really not feel any disdain towards me?”

“Why would I hold you in disdain?” Lin Mu’an tapped her head. “Were you involved in murder or arson? While I once had the mindset of a young master, I never earnestly belittled you. Be confident, my little pepper—because you are righteous, kind, brave, a good daughter, and the CEO of a big company in the future. How would I have the guts to hold you in disdain?”

Lu Qianqian’s eyes went red but she smiled. “You’re making me very afraid, Lin Mu’an... afraid that the heavens would reclaim this cherishing towards me.”

“I’ll always be with you as long as I’m not dead.”

“Bleh... Quit it with the dying stuff—I would never let you die.” Lu Qianqian quickly muffled his mouth.
