Chapter 206: Mu Qiqi Was Sheng Xiao’s Masterpiece

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

But what if Mu Qiqi could not keep her secret and let Grandpa Shen know about it? If he knew about it, everything would be over. So, Shen Ruoyi decided not to tell Mu Qiqi that she liked Sheng Xiao.

After all, she could find another chance. But if Mu Qiqi got to know and threatened her with her secret, she would become the one being controlled.

Also, Mu Qiqi was not someone who could be persuaded. She wondered who taught her to be like that. She was very similar to Sheng Xiao in that aspect.

This was because she did not know that Mu Qiqi was Sheng Xiao’s masterpiece.

…

After Grandpa Shen left, Su Zipei immediately informed Mu Qiqi about him coming to the mansion.

Although they managed to keep the secret this time, there might be a second time Grandpa Shen came without prior notice.

With the fact that Shen Ruoyi liked Sheng Xiao, Mu Qiqi felt rather annoyed.

Sheng Xiao looked at Mu Qiqi who was lying beside him in silence. He put down the ointment and pinched her nose. “What are you thinking about?”

“I have a feeling that our relationship might be found out soon. If Shen Ruoyi likes you, it is impossible for me to get along with her. That is just so wrong. I don’t want to act like a fool. And although Grandpa did not find out about this, he might realize that I am not living in the mansion one day.”

“So, are you feeling guilty about living together with me?” Sheng Xiao asked.

“I am just worried that our secret might be exposed soon! What do we do by then?” Mu Qiqi asked helplessly. She was at a loss.

No matter what happens or how it turns out to be in the end, nobody can replace you.” Sheng Xiao declared his love to Mu Qiqi. “Nobody can stop you from being my loved one.”

“So, you just do whatever you feel is right. Don’t hesitate.”

“Alright.” Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao tightly. She buried her head in his chest. “I trust you. I like you the most, Xiaoxiao.”

Since his little one was bothered by Shen Ruoyi, he should solve this problem as soon as possible. And he would not use the old tactics because they would not work on Shen Ruoyi.

There must be a way to do it once and for all!

Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi, rubbing her back that was getting better. After some time, Mu Qiqi said, “I am going to draw the line with Shen Ruoyi tomorrow. You are mine.”

In the dark, Sheng Xiao smiled and kissed Mu Qiqi’s ear. He also felt like he was in hell when he was with Mu Qiqi. But he could use up all his energy to stay with her.

…

The next morning, since it was a weekend, Mu Qiqi went to Shen Mansion with the presents she had prepared for Shen Ruoyi. Another reason she went there was to cover up for the lie last night.

“Why do you come here so early? You should take a good rest when you feel unwell,” said Grandpa Shen.

“I want to see Sister Ruoyi so I come. By the way, you came to see me last night, but I was already asleep. I am sorry for troubling you.”

“Go and see your sister.” Grandpa Shen was happy when he saw the presents and thought that they would become good sisters. But Mu Qiqi was only here to return her favor last time.

Shen Ruoyi was puzzled when Mu Qiqi gave her the presents. “I gave you the presents because it was our first meeting. You need not give me anything in return. We are sisters.”

“Sister Ruoyi, I know my personality is not very likeable. But I do not want to hide things from people. I feel burdened for getting so many expensive presents from you. so, I think I must give you something so that I will feel relieved.”

“Then, okay. But Qiqi, you didn’t misunderstand what happened last night, right? I really did not know the chair…”

“It has nothing to do with that.”

Shen Ruoyi looked at Mu Qiqi carefully. She felt that Mu Qiqi was drawing a line with her. But she nodded. “It’s good that you don’t.”

“Then, I will go fishing with Grandpa.”

Shen Ruoyi smiled at Mu Qiqi. She did not force her to stay. After Mu Qiqi left, Shen Ruoyi knew that her hard work was wasted. Mu Qiqi was more than an unlikeable person. She was a hedgehog, untouchable.

Third Aunt saw her daughter look sick as soon as she got into her room. When she knew that Mu Qiqi was returning the gifts, she said, “Why must you trouble yourself in pleasing that bastard child? You shouldn’t have wasted your time on that worthless person.”

“You should just use up the whole pack of that thing and ruin her whole face.”

“Mom, you know nothing.” Since Mu Qiqi did not accept her, she would stop wasting her time on Mu Qiqi.

Although Sheng Xiao treated Mu Qiqi nicely, she knew that they did not spend much time together. Of course, this was what Third Aunt had told her. Because Jing Yun told them that Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi were not close to each other.

…

Grandpa Shen grinned when he saw Mu Qiqi coming to him. “Qiqi, tell me honestly. Are you suspecting that it was your sister who did that to you yesterday?”

“Grandpa, I have no power in the Shen family. Although Second Aunt and Second Uncle have accepted me, I am still an outsider to some other people.” Mu Qiqi told Grandpa Shen frankly.

“You can just ignore your third aunt.”

“Grandpa, if I did something that makes you sad one day, will you still acknowledge me as your granddaughter?” Mu Qiqi was looking at the fishing rod. She was trying to figure out his train of thought.

“You are just like your father. Acting impulsively. You don’t care much about the norms and do not like to be restricted by them. I just hope that you will not regret what you do.”

After getting his answer, Mu Qiqi laughed in relief. Was he letting her get into trouble?

“Let me accompany you.”

“Don’t bother. You are not a person who can sit still. Let Shen Lin fish with me.”

Shen Lin walked to the fishpond from not far away. He had been standing there for quite some time. He could hear some words vaguely from their conversation so he could make sense of what they were talking about. “You are not an outsider to me, Qiqi. I admit that I am not very useful, but when you need a strong fist, you can tell me. If you let me choose between you and Shen Ruoyi, I will definitely choose you.”

“I have finally found your lovely side. Tell me when you enroll in the army, I will send you there.”

“That is still a long time. It will be in the spring next year. But I am training my body now.”

Shen Lin now looked more manly. Mu Qiqi was glad of his changes.

After that, she got a call from Sheng Xiao. He told her that he was bringing her out for lunch. It was Lin Mu’an who had invited them for lunch. Did he know about their relationship?
