Chapter 414: I Have An Agreement To Offer

Mu Qiqi saw what befell trio and how they were given the stink-eye by the whole university. Perhaps that was what Huanhuan meant by settling the score for her.

Still, Mu Qiqi did not waste time on them since there has been a development in the case of the murdered family.

While the five appeared to belong to one family, DNA test made evident that they were actually from five families. However, the police had yet to receive any reports of missing persons near the locations where their bodies were found, which was why the case became even more puzzling.

That was why the trio could bite each other for all Mu Qiqi care, and she would not even have to lift a finger.

Be that as it may, while everyone stood up for Feng Shanshan, she was unmoved when her friends were in trouble.

She came to class as usual, although her lackeys seemed to have changed this time…

While Feng Shanshan was not a part of the shaming post incident and did not directly come into conflict against Mu Qiqi, Mu Qiqi had developed a mysterious sense of cautiousness around her.

Nonetheless, with the truth now revealed and the university having meted the appropriate punishment, it appeared that the incident would blow along peacefully.

After a few days, however, Mu Qiqi’s lecturer suddenly informed the class that she was pregnant and would resign to stay at home and ease her pregnancy. Even so, Mu Qiqi felt that it was too sudden and couldn’t help connecting that to the incident.

Finding it all too strange, Mu Qiqi asked Sheng Xiao when she got home, “Xiao Xiao. About my lecturer, did she…”

“That’s her own decision made out of her own guilt.” Sheng Xiao replied. “She was probably scared after hearing what the principal had to say.”

“You’ve been to my campus?”

“Nope.” Sheng Xiao answered without looking up.

“Then Xu Che has, or the issue with Huanhuan’s clique would not have been resolved so smoothly.” Mu Qiqi said, connecting the dots.

“Uh-huh.”

Sheng Xiao had never hidden how nice he was to Mu Qiqi, just as there was no need to hide the matter from his little one.

That being said, he would have to thoroughly investigate whether Feng Shanshan had links to the Sheng family.

The new lecturer arrived the next day, whereas the three girls who had bothered Mu Qiqi before had changed faculties, probably finding what they’ve done too embarrassing.

Be that as it may, Mu Qiqi’s primary focus now was the five headless corpses.

Who were they? What grudge did their murderer bear against them?

Most importantly, how far gone was the murderer’s mind that they would kill five people and piece them together like they were a family?

After class, Mu Qiqi was rushing to leave the campus only to be stopped by Feng Shanshan, who softly threatened into her ear, “I’m going to get even for my friends.”

“How, pray tell?”

“You’ll know soon…” With those words, Feng Shanshan left, brushing past Mu Qiqi’s shoulder.

Mu Qiqi, however, was not bothered by her. Even if Feng Shanshan always wanted to be number one in everything, she was too proud and would only watch as others fight her battles for her, while she kept herself proud and noble, never bothered to take action herself.

That was a comparison that would not bode well for Mu Qiqi.

After all, Mu Qiqi did not have many connections in school. Wouldn’t she be toyed to death if she was at odds against someone like her?

Heh… after all, she had nothing aside from Sheng Xiao!

***

Gu Ziling and Sheng Kai’s wedding was soon. Although the entire Sheng family was absolutely busy, the two persons in question did not even look at each other once, and had no intention of going together to find a new room or order their wedding costumes, having done everything separately.

Third Brother couldn’t help sighing when he saw that. “You two look like spouses living separately even before you marry. Why are you even marrying?”

“Eight Brother didn’t want this, so it all falls to me.” Sheng Kai answered his own brother.

“You could refuse like Eighth Brother did.”

“And get my room burnt down?” Sheng Kai smirked. “It’s actually not all that bad. At least Gu Ziling is pretty and I could work something off that.”

Third Brother shook his head, feeling considerably miserable.

Which was why he really wanted to have a drink with Sheng Xiao.

“If you really couldn’t change things, you could at least try to earn Gu Ziling’s favor again.”

Sheng Kai shook his head.

He did not know Gu Ziling’s heart before because they had not really interacted extensively before, but now that he knew, all he could do was marry her and keep her like a vase.

Or what? Could his heart really connect to hers?

Gu Ziling understood that Sheng Kai did not want to marry either, which was why she sought him out for a discussion a week before their wedding. “I understand that you don’t want to be with me and that our marriage is really too forced. That is why I intend to offer you an agreement.”

“What are you offering?”

“Since your grandfather would want me in your family one way or another just so that our families form an alliance and have some children in the process. That is why we shall get a child as soon as we could after we are wed, and have an amicable divorce when the child is a year old. The child would stay with your family and you could look for a mother, so that you don’t have to feel irritated looking at me for the rest of your life.”

Sheng Kai read through the content of their agreement but said nothing, although it was obvious that he was thinking seriously.

“I don’t need an answer now. I can give you time to consider.”

“I’m just afraid that you can’t divorce just because you asked, especially with a child in the balance.”

Such was Sheng Kai’s concern, but…

“I’ll naturally have my own way of getting free when the time comes!”

In truth, Gu Ziling’s offer was perfect for Sheng Kai too, since he didn’t want to face her for his whole life, just as he knew that it was the same for her too.

That was why he did not think for too long before agreeing with Gu Ziling.

“One year after the child was born! Only one year!”

Following the agreement, the pair did not find their wedding as unbearable as before, since they both have a mental assurance now.

“Still, Sheng Xiao wouldn’t be coming to our wedding, would he?”

“The Sheng family is now utterly under my control, and he is never coming back.” Sheng Kai answered. “I wouldn’t relent even if wants to.”

“And since you have agreed to a contract marriage, we should act more like spouses in everything and show more partnership. Let’s move to the same room tonight, since I could get pregnant earlier that way!”

Any lady should have been vague and very embarrassed when extending such an invitation to a man, but Gu Ziling did not hold back for one reason only.

That was because she only considered it a mere formality!
