Chapter 55: Even If Mu Qiqi Didn’t Want It...

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Qiqi gazed upon the man she liked to her very bones from the side, bliss overflowing in her heart.

“Oh, right,” she suddenly said. “Xiaoxiao, my class teacher told me today that the school is giving Mu Tangxue the recommendation.”

Sheng Xiao promptly turned to look at her. “You sure?”

“Yeah.”

Sheng Xiao said nothing else, but merely focused on his meal, even cutting the dishes into smaller pieces and holding it just beside her mouth.

Spoiling the little one leave him delighted in every fiber of his being.

Although she was still young and had yet to mature, and even if her admiration was a temporary form of worship, Sheng Xiao had no intention of only fooling around.

She could never escape for the rest of her life.

After dinner, Sheng Xiao went to the washroom where he called Jing Yun to contact Eaton, instructing them to cancel Mu Tangxue’s recommendation by any means necessary.

Because Mu Tangxue was not allowed to take advantage of anything, even if Mu Qiqi didn’t want it.

Then, after dinner, both Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi leaned on each other and watched the night scenery of the amusement park.

For his part, his fatigue seemed to have worn off and he was completely revitalized.

He should have been present in another high-class gala, but he appeared to prefer the little one’s company.

After all, he knew that he owned her best moment and beauty in life right now.

As darkness fell, Mu Qiqi had to return to the little mansion. Even if she couldn’t meet Xiaoxiao later, their kiss a while ago filled her with strength.

“Goodnight, Xiaoxiao...”

Sheng Xiao did not let her leave immediately. He pulled her closer by the waist and whispered seductively into her ear, “Hurry up and attend university.”

Mu Qiqi knew what that hint meant. She quickly struggled free and fled to the little mansion.

Sheng Xiao followed her, spent some time sitting around in the living room before returning home.

Only that would set Su Zipei at ease.

Back home, Sheng Xiao found his mother in his room.

She was holding the cufflinks Mu Qiqi had made him and quickly snatched it away, putting it back into its box.

“When did you learn to take things without asking, Mother?”

“Where did you get that cheap thing from? And you cherish it so much!”

“A kid gave it to me.” Sheng Xiao put the cufflinks into a drawer before turning to face his mother. “Is there something else?”

“You’ve been away every night recently, and not even your father knows where you are,” Mama Sheng replied. “Dear boy, it’s time to think about marriage.”

Sheng Xiao settled himself into the couch and leaned back. “Mom, to tell the truth...I prefer men.”

Mama Sheng was at once dumbstruck. “What nonsense are you spouting!?”

“Either way, I will marry before twenty-eight. You don’t have to keep reminding me.” Sheng Xiao added by reflex. “Happy now?”

Mama Sheng nodded in satisfaction. “That’s more like it. By the way, there’s something your father wants to talk to you and your brothers about...hurry up and go.”

Sheng Xiao nodded. It was only after Mama Sheng left that he took the cufflinks out again to study it.

His family was hoarding diamonds, and yet he preferred a broken thing like that.

It seemed that he’s a born masochist!

Back in the little mansion, Su Zipei did not ask Mu Qiqi about the night before, and Mu Qiqi naturally pretended that nothing happened.

Even so, Su Zipei wanted to ask her but was also afraid of hurting her, until two days later when Mu Qiqi revealed a giftbox from behind her back before going to school, giving it to her. “Happy birthday, Aunt Zipei!”

Su Zipei looked at her present in delight. “Thank you, Qiqi...”

“Open it! I went out late at night and only picked it after visiting many places with Qian Qian. See if you like it.”

At those words, Su Zipei suddenly remembered finding her niece coming home late three nights ago. Could that be what she had been doing?

“Was that three nights ago?”

“How did you know?” Mu Qiqi pretended to be surprised.

“I saw you come home.” Su Zipei was relieved because Mu Qiqi had gone out for her birthday present, and not to meet a man.

Moreover, she had only been out of the mansion to have dinner with Sheng Xiao. Did the mysterious man Mu Tangxue talked about even exist?

Mu Qiqi smiled and helped Su Zipei opened her present: it was a cherry blossom brooch that Su Zipei liked so much that she would not part with it.

“I would have liked it anyway since it’s your present for me.”

Mu Qiqi felt sorry to her aunt. It was because she was not brave enough to take the risk that Su Zipei might protest that she didn’t tell her about Sheng Xiao.

Beyond that, she would do anything for her.

In the morning, Su Zipei felt moved and Mu Qiqi was happy.

However, the latter found Mu Tangxue glaring at her hatefully outside the classroom. “I want to talk to you.”

“Here is fine.” Mu Qiqi did not want to give her any chance for tricks.

“Are you sure, sister?” Mu Tangxue’s glare was ice-cold and she seemed to be very upset.

Even so, Mu Qiqi nodded without any sign of weakness. “Did you think that we still have to be polite to each other?”

“Fine...” Mu Tangxue turned away as if to calm herself, before asking, “You murderer, how much trouble you still want to cause the family after killing Grandma? You didn’t want the recommendation, so why would you stop me from getting it?”

“What are you talking about?” Mu Qiqi shot back at once.

“Do you dare to say you didn’t do it? You cold-blooded murderer, our family only chased you out because you killed Grandma. Do you dare to deny that?”

Mu Tangxue was utterly hysterical. She had probably endured more than she could take, and Mu Qiqi forced her beyond it.

After all, the recommendation that was pretty much in the bag had suddenly gone just like that. Who else other than Mu Qiqi could have done that?

Since push had come to shove, they could share a moment of mutual destruction. Mu Tangxue was having a hard time back home anyway, and they should both suffer together.

The rest of their classmates had quickly gathered around them because of what Mu Tangxue had said.

“What are you looking at? Mu Qiqi is a murderer! She killed her own grandma!”

“So that’s your true face?” Mu Qiqi fired back. “Are you finally taking off your mask? So it turns out that the delicate young lady could actually scream and shout too, stare at someone else evilly and get angry? And here I thought you were never going to throw a tantrum your entire life!”

“I’ve had enough of you, Mu Qiqi.” Mu Tangxue seethed agitatedly. “By what right are you taking away something that belongs to me?”

“What belongs to you? Don’t you think you’re being too confident?”

“I don’t care. You’re a murderer, and I’ll tell the whole world that you killed Grandma!”

Mu Tangxue was completely out of control at the moment. She would expose the secret which Papa Mu went to great lengths to hide, causing havoc to deny Mu Qiqi a place at Eaton.

She really couldn’t take it anymore!
