Chapter 275: Is Sheng Xiao Your First Love?
“You deem him your everything. Is Sheng Xiao your first love?”
“That’s right, Fourth Sister. How about your first love? Can you tell me about it?” Mu Qiqi took the chance and asked. “I knew about your past relationship with that scum. So that doesn’t count.”
“But I had been only in that one relationship.” Sheng Minglan suddenly giggled.
“You lie…” Mu Qiqi disagreed. “Where on earth does a girl not have a few princes charming when she is young?”
Sheng Minglan hugged the wine bottle and thought hard. Finally, she thought of the first night she met Jing Yun. “Can you guess how I felt when I first met Jing Yun?”
‘She suddenly mentioned Jing Yun?’ It piqued Mu Qiqi’s interest.
“I had never seen such a beautiful boy, not even Sheng Xiao could compare with him. Sheng Xiao eventually grew up into a handsome man, but Jing Yun has been handsome since young.”
“I think that’s the reason I brought him to the Sheng family. Because he was too good looking…” Sheng Minglan giggled. Then, she could not think of any other men.
“Memories are always so perfect and beautiful. That’s why you can still remember it clearly.”
Sheng Minglan reminisced about the encounter and smiled again unknowingly. When Mu Qiqi saw it, she knew Fourth Sister had feelings for Jing Yun. It was just that she did not realize it.
Soon, the two women got drunk.
Sheng Xiao went to the living room after taking his shower. He helplessly shook his head. “You little one could indeed pick the good wine. All these are worth a few million.”
Then, he brought Mu Qiqi back to the bedroom and called Jing Yun. “Fourth Sister is in Jing Ting. She is drunk. Come and look after her.”
“Young Master…”
“I have another little one drunk in my arms. You get it?”
Jing Yun had no choice but to go to Jing Ting. When he reached Jing Ting, he picked Sheng Minglan up and brought her to the guest room.
Suddenly, Sheng Minglan opened her eyes and saw the beautiful boy before her eyes. She reached her hands out and stroked Jing Yun’s face. “You still look as good as before.”
Jing Yun was shocked. He did not understand what Sheng Minglan was saying, so he just covered her with the blanket and stayed beside her.
At upstairs, Sheng Xiao was helping the drunkard to wash up. Although he was the one who sent her to the undercover mission, he felt guilty when the little one threw up. “I won’t let you drink anymore.”
Mu Qiqi murmured something and lay heavily in Sheng Xiao’s arms. Because she was too drunk, she fell into a deep sleep very quickly.
Sheng Xiao did not do anything. He just went to the living room to clean up the mess…
It was until the break of day that Sheng Minglan woke up in the room. Jing Yun was still beside her. Sheng Minglan was moved by his action.
Slowly, Jing Yun opened his eyes. When he saw Sheng Minglan sitting at the side of the bed quietly, he bent down and helped her wear her shoes. “Miss Minglan, how are you feeling?”
“You don’t have to look after me all night. It is very safe here in Jing Ting.”
“You would want to go home if you woke up. And you can’t drive after drinking.” Jing Yun found the perfect excuse for himself.
“If it happens again, you should sleep in the other room. Sleeping on your stomach here is very uncomfortable.”
“Yes,” replied Jing Yun. He saw the gold card in Sheng Minglan’s pocket. She had accepted it.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved. The two planned to leave Jing Ting quietly. But what they did not expect was that the maid was already there, making breakfast.
When Aunt Wu saw them coming out from the guest room, she looked puzzled. She must have misunderstood the situation.
“Mr. Jing, is she your girlfriend?”
When Jing Yun was about to explain, Sheng Xiao came down in his formal suit. “Aunt Wu, please prepare two more servings.”
“Yes, Mr. Sheng.”
Sheng Xiao purposely did not give Jing Yun the chance to explain. Seeing this, Sheng Minglan glared at Sheng Xiao. “Why do you always ask Jing Yun to come here and look after me?”
“I don’t want to let other people come to Jing Ting. Besides, Jing Yun is an honest man.” Sheng Xiao shrugged, considering it an answer to Sheng Minglan. “You should have your breakfast here before going home. Aunt Wu has served it anyway.”
Sheng Minglan flushed and went to the dining table with Sheng Xiao and Jing Yun.
“Your maid must have misunderstood our relationship…”
“Just let it be. What can you explain to her?” Sheng Xiao looked at Sheng Minglan. “Besides, she is not a busybody. And she doesn’t like to gossip.”
Sheng Minglan stopped talking. She did not know why, but she had no courage to look at Jing Yun’s face now.
The atmosphere was awkward despite the fact that they used to be very comfortable with each other.
Just because of the intimacy last night, Sheng Minglan suddenly felt there was a need for her to keep a distance from Jing Yun.
Sheng Minglan glanced at them. And coincidentally, Jing Yun received a call from Papa Sheng. Grandpa Sheng had decided to let Mu Qiqi handle the banquet for the VVIPs of Huang Yao. So, the first thing in the morning Papa Sheng did was to pass on the order.
When Jing Yun heard it, he frowned. There were so many people in the Sheng family, not to mention they had a planning department in the company. There was no chance Mu Qiqi would get involved in this. But Grandpa Sheng was actually letting Mu Qiqi be the person-in-charge?
“There is trouble, Young Master.”
Sheng Xiao glanced at Jing Yun. His eyes flashed.
Then, he learned what Papa Sheng said in the call from Jing Yun.
“What is Grandpa’s motive?” Sheng Minglan was confused. “What is he trying to do, getting Xiao Qi in hot soup?”
“Superficially, he seems to be evaluating Qi’er capabilities. But in fact, he is trying to tell Qi’er to back off. Because if she fails, she will no longer have the face to stay in the Sheng family. Do you think Seventh Sister will give up the chance to humiliate her?”
Sheng Xiao snorted.
“Then what should we do? Grandpa had already made his order…”
“Just do it then,” said Sheng Xiao calmly.
“But Xiao Qi has no experience at all.”
“Fourth Sister, you don’t know Qi’er yet. Do you think someone who can learn physics and chemistry for fun like her is not capable and talented?” Sheng Xiao asked. “What’s the problem with having no experience? I can teach her.”
“If she succeeds after having you to teach her, Grandpa Sheng will just credit you because you are the crown prince of Huang Yao. Xiao Qi will still not be acknowledged.”
But in fact, it was not as simple as they thought. Grandpa Sheng was planning to give the credit to Sheng Minghui.
Only if Mu Qiqi really planned a wonderful banquet for the VVIPs.
“I will know what to do by then.”
