“I am so looking forward to seeing the girl who could win Sheng Xiao over. I want to know how special she is. So, I didn’t want to wait until the engagement ceremony.” Fourth Sister tied her hair into a bun and was wearing a long black dress. She was poise yet gentle. Mu Qiqi liked her.

“Now you have met her.”

“After getting to know Qiqi’s life story, I was not very worried already. Now that I have seen her. I am not worried at all.” Fourth Sister smiled.

“Are you worried that she might be bullied?” Sheng Xiao knew what she meant.

“Qiqi looks steady. Her eyes are firm and fearless just like you when you were young.” Fourth Sister was very good at judging people. “I already know she is well educated by you at first glance. Since that’s the case, I’m relieved. You should know that your Seventh Sister is not a kind one.”

“Then I shall see what she is planning to do.” Sheng Xiao said in a tone that would make one shudder.

“It seems like I should be looking forward to your engagement ceremony.”

After listening to the way Fourth Sister spoke, Mu Qiqi grew fonder of her. Although there were eight cousins in the Sheng family, their age gap was small.

The three of them chatted happily over dinner. Laughter could be heard coming out of the room occasionally.

Fourth Sister was a very considerate person. She knew how to make people feel good. For the entire night, she did not even mention Mu Qiqi’s young age once, not to mention calling her the little eighteen-year-old bride.

When Fourth Sister went to the ladies, Mu Qiqi couldn’t help but ask Sheng Xiao. “How old is Fourth Sister? Is she married yet?”

“She’s twenty-nine. Single. She had a fiancé before. But the man was just after her wealth. He had a mistress. So after finding out about it and breaking up with him, she remained single until now.”

Mu Qiqi nodded and stopped asking any more questions.

“By the way, Jing Yun was brought to the Sheng family by Fourth Sister. Jing Yun was ten at that time. Since he is the same age as me, he had been by my side since then.”

“I see. There are so many stories in your family.”

“But nothing is more bizarre than yours, little one.” She had won him over at the age of eighteen. This was not something anyone could do.

Then, Fourth Sister came back from the ladies. She said, “I have brought a present for you from Vienna. I will give it to you next time.”

“Fourth Sister, you don’t have to.”

“Yes, I must. It’s him who asked for it from me. So I must do it.”

Mu Qiqi did not decline anymore. The three walked out of the hotel. After a few seconds, Fourth Sister’s car sped off.

Mu Qiqi was envious of Fourth Sister. Because she heard from Sheng Xiao once that she was also a legendary person in the Sheng family.

“I think I am getting to know your family. And I get to know more about you now.” Mu Qiqi said to Sheng Xiao on the way back home.

Sheng Xiao held her small hand and they walked home. Jing Ting was just a stone’s throw away from the hotel.

Fourth Sister had chosen this place for their convenience.

“Didn’t you promise me we will be staying at the mansion? I want to have more time with Aunt before the engagement.”

“I regret saying that now…” Sheng Xiao pinned Mu Qiqi against the tree and started kissing her wildly. “I want to kiss you this way even when we are in that mansion.”

Mu Qiqi leaned against the tree and looked at the crown surrounding them. She flushed. “You are so naughty…”

Sheng Xiao was satisfied after teasing Mu Qiqi. He let go of her and they headed back to the hotel to get their car…

Sheng Xiao wanted Mu Qiqi to always be smiling in her life. But he felt sorry for her at the same time. Because she was not upset when Grandpa Sheng was not willing to meet her. Even during her engagement, she was like going to a battlefield and was forced to fight with her enemies.

However, she always chose to believe him without hesitation.

Even though she knew she would suffer.

Silly thing.

Two days later, the dress for the engagement ceremony was sent to Jing Ting, so were the bodyguards requested by Sheng Xiao from Mama Sheng. Apart from that, Mama Sheng hired a maid to serve Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi when they lived there. She was very thoughtful for making such arrangements for them.

The bodyguards were already on standby. As for the maid, Sheng Xiao told her to start coming for work after the engagement ceremony.

At that moment, Mu Qiqi was standing in the middle of the bedroom, staring at the dress blankly.

“Try it on.”

Mu Qiqi turned around and looked at the man behind her. She said, “I don’t want to let you see it now. Or else, there will be no surprise on the engagement day.”

Sheng Xiao pulled her toward him and let her sit on his lap. He nodded. “Okay. But you must try it one. If it does not fit, we need to send it for alteration.”

“Is a custom-made dress always done so fast?”

Sheng Xiao shook his head and explained. “This dress was worn once by a princess of another country. I have got a designer to modify it to make it into a unique dress. There is only one in this world. It shows your status.”

Mu Qiqi looked at the dress again. She knew how precious it was now.

“I will let Qianqian help me try it on tomorrow.”

Sheng Xiao did not force her. He pulled her close to him and kissed her. “It will be very tiring to prepare for the engagement. If it is too much for you, I will ask my mother to simplify the ceremony.”

“You don’t have to. Being your woman, am I that weak? How many people out there are looking forward to laughing at me? I will not admit defeat that easily.” Mu Qiqi had no intention of backing up. It would be their engagement soon. It would be one of the events that she would not forget in her life. She should not let some unimportant people ruin her day.

Also, who said that she would still be considered an outsider after joining the Sheng family? She would tell the whole family that in this world, only she alone suited Xiaoxiao the best.

“Are you nervous?”

“Not. After all, if there is someone trying to humiliate me on that day, Grandpa and Father will not let them go easily.”

Fourth Sister was right. Her eyes shone.

At that very moment, Sheng Xiao was obsessed with this little one.

“And you, why are you busy getting the bodyguards and the maid. Can’t we just live by ourselves? Your grandfather does not acknowledge me yet, but it does not mean that I will not get his acknowledgment ever. We still have time, don’t we?”

Having heard this, Sheng Xiao was amused and pinned his little one on the bed.

“Hey… the dress is underneath me. Shouldn’t you keep it aside first? Didn’t you say that there is only one in this world?”

…

After dinner in Sheng Mansion.

Fourth Sister wanted to go back to her room, but Seventh Sister caught up with her. “Sister, I heard that you have met the little bride?”

Fourth Sister looked at the woman’s hand and frowned slightly. But she hid her feelings well. “Yes. She is a pretty girl.”

“But Sister, Sheng Xiao does not need such a wife. You know what kind of granddaughter-in-law Grandpa is looking for. Why don’t you help me?”
