Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
During the banquet, the guests asked about the wedding date of Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi. However, Grandpa Sheng avoided the questions cleverly. He said, “Qiqi is still young. When the time is right, it will happen, naturally.”
At that moment, Mu Qiqi hated herself for being young. She was so helplessly young that she could not become a lawful couple with Xiaoxiao yet.
Sheng Xiao who was sitting beside Mu Qiqi held her hand to comfort her. His hand was telling her to just let Grandpa Sheng’s words go in one ear and out the other. She did not have to take his words personally.
Mu Qiqi smiled at him. Although she was a bit upset, she was not scared.
After the banquet, the guests left. Then Shens and the Shengs bid each other farewell. Shen Jianchuan should return to the hospital after being outside for a whole day
Mu Qiqi walked to Sheng Jianchuan and held his hands. “I am still your daughter. Nothing will ever change that.”
“Silly child.” Shen Jianchuan was reluctant to let go of his daughter, but he did not show his sadness. He did not want to burden Mu Qiqi.
Grandpa Shen pushed Shen Jianchuan in the wheelchair out of the hotel and left.
“You must be tired already. Go back and rest. And Qiqi, find some time and come to Sheng Mansion. I have something to tell you.” Grandpa Sheng said before leaving.
Mu Qiqi nodded and said, “Yes. Safe journey, Grandpa.”
“Let’s go back to Jing Ting.” After seeing everyone leave, Sheng Xiao brought his little bride home.
It was just after reaching home, Sheng Xiao pinned Mu Qiqi beneath him in the passenger seat. “Do you know how alluring you are to me all day?”
“Haven’t you eaten enough this evening?”
Mu Qiqi looked at her man helplessly. Why was he always so energetic?
“Do you think I will have enough?” Having said that, Sheng Xiao carried Mu Qiqi out of the car and rushed into the bedroom.
It was until when they were both lying on the bed, Sheng Xiao interlocked his fingers with Mu Qiqi’s. “Shouldn’t you change the way you address me since we are already engaged?”
Mu Qiqi flushed. Her cheeks felt hot. “Then, how do you want me to address you?”
“Can’t you guess?” Sheng Xiao tilted her chin and looked into her eyes intensely. “If it is not because of your age, you are already my wife. And how does a wife call her husband?”
His hands were enchanted, making Mu Qiqi unable to think. She could only let him control her.
“Xiaoxiao…”
“Wrong.” Sheng Xiao smiled playfully. He pecked on her skin gently.
“Hub…by.”
“Again.” Sheng Xiao’s pupils dilated.
“Hubby…” Mu Qiqi felt awkward calling him that. But she could not resist the temptation of that man. He was just so addictive, like drugs.
“Remember, I am your husband. Your hubby.”
Having said that, the two were already intertwining together in bed. Mu Qiqi moaned in satisfaction. She had never expected to get married at eighteen. More importantly, this man was Sheng Xiao.
Since the day she started to have a crush on him, Mu Qiqi felt that she had fallen in love with the man she should not love. So, in this life, she would only live in hell.
However, she even dragged him along into it. So, she could never escape now.
It’s just that they were already having their wedding night. By the time they really get married, could they still feel the same sensation?
…
This night was a night of romance as well as a night of cruelty. To the new couple, it was of course a happy night, but to Sheng Minglan, she felt as if she was being roasted in an oven. Grandpa Sheng did not just tell her the matter during the engagement ceremony, he had even told the whole family after getting home.
The Shengs were envious of her. They felt that Grandpa Sheng had found her a good marriage. But to her, Grandpa Sheng was cruel as if he had stabbed her heart.
Jing Yun was in the living room. Listening to Grandpa Sheng’s plan, he felt as awful as Sheng Minglan.
He used to fantasize about the man Sheng Minglan would marry. But he had never imagined her marrying to a place so far from him.
After getting back into her room, Sheng Minglan called Sheng Xiao immediately although she knew it was not a good time to bother him.
In Jing Ting.
Sheng Xiao had just brought his little one to the bathroom and his phone rang. “Fourth Sister?”
“I don’t want to go to Northern Europe. But Grandpa seems to take it seriously now. If you manage to make that man refuse the marriage, I will be very grateful.”
“The marriage of a prince is not a simple matter. Even though Grandpa is dominant, he cannot impose the marriage on the prince. Rest assured, Fourth Sister.”
“What use is it for me to rest assured? It is a prince today, what about tomorrow?” Fourth Sister sounded very depressed. “Sometimes, I feel that being a Sheng is too taxing.”
“If you really do not want Grandpa to meddle in your marriage, we can find a way to get away with it.”
“You should just help me to sort Prince Charlie out for now.”
After ending the phone call, Sheng Xiao immediately made a call to the prince. Then, he confirmed that the royal family had no intention of having an Eastern woman as their princess.
“What’s wrong with Fourth Sister?” Mu Qiqi asked in concern after seeing Sheng Xiao make two phone calls in succession.
“Grandpa wants to manipulate Fourth Sister’s marriage but Fourth Sister is unwilling to give in. You should invite Fourth Sister here more often. Sometimes, living in Sheng Mansion is like living in a prison.”
Mu Qiqi nodded. She pulled Sheng Xiao near to her and kissed his lips.
“Can you call me that again before going back to sleep?”
“Hubby…”
Sheng Xiao was highly satisfied. Then, he got into the bathtub with Mu Qiqi to drain away his tiredness.
It’s just that Sheng Xiao did not expect to see Jing Yun beg him first thing in the morning when Jing Yun saw him.
“Miss Minglan seems depressed. Can you help her out, Young Master?”
Sheng Xiao was taken aback and looked at Jing Yun. “This is the first time you ask help from me for someone else.”
“Miss Minglan saved me…”
“Is that so? Jing Yun, you know how Qi’er and I got together. She has used this excuse too many times.” Sheng Xiao sneered.
“But it is a fact.” Jing Yun looked straight into Sheng Xiao’s eyes. The two stared at each other.
After a while, Sheng Xiao nodded. “She called me last night. The prince does not have that intention at all. There is nothing for you to worry about anymore.”
“But you should understand this, Jing Yun. Fourth Sister’s life is manipulated by that old man. Even if it is not the prince from Northern Europe, it may be an American tycoon next time.”
“That has nothing to do with me,” said Jing Yun honestly. He could not control it either.
Miss Minglan would eventually get married. But Jing Yun hoped that she could marry someone she liked.
