“Aren’t you afraid that the others might laugh at you, being with a delinquent like me?” Lu Qianqian stopped. She was covered with sweat. She turned to look at Lin Mu’an. Maybe, she wanted to befriend him but this friend was different from Mu Qiqi. Moreover, there was a possibility that their friendship would be ruined by the rumors. So, it was useless if she wanted to be his friend. It would only burden both of them.
Lin Mu’an looked at Lu Qianqian but he made no reply.
“If that’s the case, let’s not embarrass ourselves further. Don’t come here anymore.” Then, Lu Qianqian turned around and left.
But, Lin Mu’an did not go after her.
It was because he might not have prepared himself mentally. He never thought that befriending a person would infuriate his family.
Clearly, Lu Qianqian was sensible. If he could not endure being sneered by the others, he should give up befriending her. But, he still felt unhappy about it. Since he deleted her contact number, he should follow through with his decision without any hesitation.
Lu Qianqian hid and she saw Lin Mu’an leaving the martial arts center. Then, she told the receptionist. “If this man comes again, just give him a refund. Ask him to choose another center for his training.”
“Sure, Young Lady.” The receptionist noted Lu Qianqian’s request because the center belonged to her family.

On the other hand, Cen Suyun and her family felt that they owned nothing after leaving the Shen family. They had nothing now. They did not live poorly because of Third Uncle’s status in life. But, it was totally different from the kind of life they enjoyed in the Shen family.
They lived beyond their income before and they did not have much savings. Now, they realized that they were quite poor when they were in need of money.
Shen Ruoyi became an ordinary girl from a common family after leaving the Shen family. She could not enjoy a wealthy life now. It was even more difficult if she wanted to go overseas.
Shen Ruoyi was so upset when she thought about that. She must get himself a rich husband so that the Shen family would not look down on her again.
“Don’t daydream here. No young master from any rich family will fall for you now given our status in life unless you become someone’s mistress.”
What Cen Suyun said had shocked Shen Ruoyi greatly. It was true indeed. She could have whatever she wanted by relying on those men.
She was still young and weak. It was just the right time for her to be adored by men.
However, both Third Uncle and his wife did not know about their daughter’s whim. They did not even know that she was thinking about taking revenge on Mu Qiqi. She had almost gone mad because of this.

In fact, Mu Qiqi was not herself in university. She could not focus on her studies because Grandpa Shen had asked Xiaoxiao to go and meet him that day. She did not even know what Xiaoxiao planned to do and she was also unaware whether Grandpa Shen had found out anything now. Thus, she wanted so badly to grow up into a twenty-year-old woman overnight so that she could help to lessen the burden on Xiaoxiao’s shoulders. Then, he did not have to endure everything all by himself.
Actually, she was the one who had confessed her love to him first.
But, Xiaoxiao was the one who needed to deal with everything whether they wanted to keep their relationship a secret or reveal it to the others.
She hated herself like that. Xiaoxiao belonged to her but she was helpless when she was facing the pressure from society.
Mu Qiqi called Lu Qianqian at that moment because she needed support from others.
Lu Qianqian was helpless too after she listened to her predicament. “Qiqi, you saw my current state now. I’m a laughing stock to everyone. If I were you, I’ll be unwilling to expose it. Although you’re brave, you need to understand the danger of the rumors. They could suffocate you.
“Listen to me. Let the Crown Prince deal with it. Don’t be the one who makes your relationship public.”
Mu Qiqi made no reply after she listened to Lu Qianqian’s advice. There was a clear voice in her heart. There were many choices. She certainly would tackle each and every challenge which arose no matter how difficult it was. So, why was she worried?
Mu Qiqi hung up the phone after she became aware of it. Then, she became much relieved.
She had decided to face everything with Sheng Xiao. Therefore, there was nothing to be afraid of.
That night, Sheng Xiao could clearly feel that Mu Qiqi was in a good mood. When she was writing her report, he went to her intentionally and pressed her onto the table. “I’m thinking about dessert now given how smug you seem.”
“There’s some in the fridge. I’ll go and take it for you…”
“You’re my dessert.” Then, Sheng Xiao pulled her shirt up and smiled playfully.
Mu Qiqi was stunned for a short while. Then, she started to struggle. “Xiaoxiao… I haven’t completed my report.”
“Why do you need to write a report when you have me with you?” After that, Sheng Xiao threw Mu Qiqi’s notes away in the middle of the study. Then, he took off his shirt and pressed himself onto her.
Mu Qiqi wanted to say something else but her mouth was sealed by his kiss tightly. Sheng Xiao kissed her without leaving her any chance to talk.
They kissed each other lovingly. Then, they started to enjoy that romantic moment in the study. Suddenly, Sheng Xiao stopped in the heat of the moment. He lifted her chin and asked, “Do you still want me to stop?”
Mu Qiqi then bit the man’s shoulder once. “How mean! How could you tease like this?”
“Do you?”
“I don’t want to.” Mu Qiqi hugged his neck and said in embarrassment.
Sheng Xiao held her and they became one at last. Then, he led his little one back to the bedroom. It was because his little one would not have any more freedom that night.
A thought flashed across her mind when she was put on the large bed. “It’s over now. I definitely will fail this semester.”
It was her fault. She could not resist Sheng Xiao’s seduction.
The next morning, she woke up and saw that Sheng Xiao had helped her to complete the report. He had placed the report on the bedside cupboard. “Go to the class by yourself. I need to go to the Shen family now.”
Mu Qiqi stared at the report which was written by Sheng Xiao. She could not help but whisper in her heart. Was there anything that man was unable to do?
He had graduated from the Science and Engineering field. But he seemed more professional than her, who was a student of Forensic Science.
But, she could not help but feel quite nervous when she thought about the incident where Sheng Xiao went to the Shen family and met Grandpa Shen. She also did not know what Grandpa Shen would say to him.

It was early in the morning. Grandpa Shen had prepared the best tea by the fishing pond in the Shen family. He even prepared the fishing rod. He was waiting for Sheng Xiao to help clarify his doubts.
Sheng Xiao reached the Shen family right on time at around eight o’clock in the morning. He went through the garden and went straight to where Grandpa Shen was. It was a place where Grandpa Shen enjoyed his retirement. He then sat down on the chair which was prepared for him.
Grandpa Shen had brewed the tea well. Then, he poured a cup of tea for Sheng Xiao and put it in front of him. “How rare that you could come and meet me given that you’re the Crown Prince of Huang Yao.”
“What do you want to ask?” Sheng Xiao took up the teacup and asked Grandpa Shen nonchalantly.
