Soon, the date of their engagement was decided, just half a month later.

Mama Sheng made a list of guests they would be inviting as fast as she could. But when she handed it to her husband and Grandpa Sheng to have a look, Grandpa Sheng crossed out quite a few of the names of famous people from the list.

It was not that they were not giving Sheng Xiao face. It was just because they thought that they did not have to make this event as grand as a wedding ceremony. If they invited everyone to the engagement but the engagement broke off, it would be embarrassing.

So, they just needed to invite just enough guests to satisfy Grandpa Shen. As they were old friends, they still needed to give the Shen family face.

Mama Sheng did not agree to this, but she was stopped by Papa Sheng before she could voice out her objection. He dragged her into their bedroom. “What do you want? How grand do you want it to be? Father has given enough face and does not pose any restriction on other things. So, you should just listen to him regarding the guest list.”

“How can I make it grand without any guests?” Mama Sheng smirked. “I will not seek your opinion on this anymore. I will just ask Sheng Xiao. I will see if he agrees to this.”

“It’s just an eighteen-year-old girl joining the Sheng family. Have we not given enough face to the Shen family? What else do you want?”

Mama Sheng did not talk to her husband anymore. Because she knew there was no way she could talk convince him.

So, she called Sheng Xiao instead. “Son, let’s meet tonight if you have time.”

Actually, Sheng Xiao knew this would happen. Because no one else apart from him really cared about Qi’er. If Grandpa Sheng were sincere, he would have met his granddaughter-in-law. But, he never mentioned this. It clearly showed that he did not care about who his fiancée was.

After Sheng Xiao read the guest list, he put it down and said, “Just do as the old man has said.”

“Son…”

“Besides, I have another guest list.” Sheng Xiao took out a guest list from his drawer. “Take a look at it first.”

Mama Sheng took the guest list. She was puzzled. But after she read it, she was delighted.

“That’s more like it. You have already thought about this, haven’t you?”

“Shouldn’t we always prepare in advance when we want to deal with those old-fashioned people?” asked Sheng Xiao. “Mother, I know that the Shengs do not take Qi’er seriously. So, it is inevitable for me to fight with them in future. You should be prepared for that.”

“I will thank God and pray to Him every day if you can treat Qiqi this way for the rest of your life.” Mama Sheng was worried that Sheng Xiao might abandon Mu Qiqi. After all, the girl had given him everything.

Sheng Xiao chuckled but he did not say anything.

“Have you invited these people?”

“Jing Yun has contacted them already. As for those who have exceptionally high social status, I contacted them personally last night. They are all my friends, so they will come.”

For all these years, Sheng Xiao had traveled all around the world, so his social network was wide. They included an American magnate, a French winery tycoon, a Denmark prince. It was unquestionable for him to be able to invite a few of these people to his engagement.

When all the guests invited by the Shen and the Sheng families gathered, who would be the one would lose face? Of course, it would be Grandpa Sheng. He just invited so few people.

“Then I will not worry about it anymore.” Mama Sheng nodded. But she stared at Sheng Xiao thoughtfully. She knew that no one in the Sheng family could defeat her son. Nothing had happened so far. But with Qiqi joining the family, it seemed like the balance was disrupted.

“Mother, don’t think too much. No matter who it is, this would happen someday.”

“No wonder you told me you will let me see my daughter-in-law in three months. You kept your word.”

Sheng Xiao cocked his brows and smiled confidently. Didn’t he always keep his word?

“Since you have chosen your new home, I will get it ready as soon as possible. Then you will be able to move in right after the engagement.”

“And I need two bodyguards.”

Mama Sheng nodded in agreement. “I will get them ready for you. I am doing this for Qiqi. It is because of her that I am willing to side with you. Don’t disappoint me.”

Why do you choose to side with Qiqi?” Sheng Xiao asked his mother curiously.

Mama Sheng thought for a while. Then, she answered. “I have a feeling that you can do anything or go against us for her.”

“That is not just your feeling. It’s true. She is my life, so don’t simply touch her.”

Mama Sheng was surprised by his answer. She did not expect that her son would have such a strong possessiveness. She was not sure if it was a good thing for Qiqi to be with him.”

Hopefully, she had done something right.

After Mama Sheng left, Sheng Xiao looked at the guest list that his mother gave him. Suddenly, he had an urge to take revenge for his little one.

That old man was keeping something from him. Did he think that he could hide his plan from him?

But he was not in a hurry. He still had plenty of time.

After the date was set, both the Sheng and Shen families started preparing for the big event.

Grandpa Shen was very satisfied with Sheng Xiao’s guest list. So, he had invited all his good friends.

He wanted to show his support for his granddaughter.

Grandpa Shen’s friends did not expect the union of the Shen and the Sheng family because of the uncle-niece relationship between Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi. But they were in fact some bizarre characters in some way, so nothing seemed to be impossible for them.

Anyway, Grandpa Shen had already given up on saving face since long ago.

…

In these few days, Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao’s engagement was not just a hot topic for gossip.

It had caused a great shock to Lin Mu’an as well.

He predicted a sad ending for the two of them because of their backgrounds. Moreover, they were hindered by their uncle-niece relationship. So, he thought that they would someday be separated. However, unexpectedly, Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao were getting engaged for real!

Being a young master in a rich family would mean that it was almost impossible to choose his spouse. It was rare for a young master to be able to marry whoever he wanted.

It was also why he wanted to keep a distance from Lu Qianqian. Because he had never thought that someone could actually break the norm.

For a few nights, he was immersed in contemplation.

He needed to figure out what he was afraid of losing and what he wanted. And Lu Qianqian’s sweaty face kept emerging in his mind. He could not help but think about her.

It made him feel sick.

It was especially when Grandpa Lin told him that he would attend Qiqi’s engagement ceremony that he had an urge to do something stupid. He called the director and asked if he had kept Lu Qianqian’s contact number. Because he had deleted her number from his phone quite some time ago.

When he got back the phone number that he lost, he lay on the couch, hugging his phone. He hesitated once more.

Because he knew that Lu Qianqian was not someone with a good temper.

She might ignore him. Or she might call him a scum or a crazy man. But, he just wanted her response.

After hesitating for so long, Lin Mu’an typed a message. Then, he erased it. But just before he deleted the last few words of his message of asking what Lu Qianqian was doing, he…
