Chapter 136: Mu Qiqi Is That Good at Keeping Secrets

Since Su Zipei knew Mu Qiqi’s relationship with Sheng Xiao, Mu Qiqi seldom saw Sheng Xiao still at home when she woke up.

Normally, he would have already gone to Huang Yao.

However, it was not the case for today. When Mu Qiqi rolled over on the bed, she was surprised to see Sheng Xiao still lying beside her.

Sheng Xiao did not open his eyes when he draped his arms around Mu Qiqi and put his chin on her head.

“Why haven’t you gone to Huang Yao?”

“Not today,” replied Sheng Xiao. “Grandpa Shen called me yesterday night. He wanted to hold a gathering this coming weekend to officially announce your identity.”

“So? What does it have to do with you not going to work?”

“I am bringing you to the boutique to order a dress. There is a charity banquet I have to attend in the evening. You should come with me.” He opened his eyes and got up from bed.

When Mu Qiqi looked at him, she was almost bewitched by his strong physique again. He always liked to just wrap a towel around his waist and expose his upper body. How could she resist such temptation to check him out every time he did it?

Seeing Mu Qiqi’s face, Sheng Xiao lowered his head and looked at his own body. He put on a playful smile. “Are you satisfied with it?”

“I will go and make some sandwiches.” Mu Qiqi flushed when he asked.

Sheng Xiao looked at the direction Mu Qiqi was heading to then shook his head helplessly. They were already so intimate and familiar with each other but she was still so shy at times.

Actually, Mu Qiqi was not going to attend the charity banquet, but she was just accompanying him to get to the place.

He knew that Grandpa Mu was also going to the event. So, he thought it was a good time to let the Mu family know he was the one who always backed Mu Qiqi up.

Knowing none of this, Mu Qiqi was brought to an exclusive haute couture boutique after breakfast.

Still, Mu Qiqi was worried that she would be recognized by the staff there. But Sheng Xiao tucked her chin up and said, “Relax. Jing Yun made this arrangement. So, no one would dare to go out and talk about it.”

“I have lots of outfits already. Do I really need to get such a fancy dress just to go to the Shen family?”

Sheng Xiao draped his arm around her neck and said, “I want to buy my girlfriend some clothes. Do you have any opinion about it?”

Mu Qiqi’s heart was racing. How could she bear the feeling when Sheng Xiao flirted with her?

Sheng Xiao was busy choosing dresses for Mu Qiqi while Mu Qiqi was busy trying out the dresses in the fitting room. While they were busy with themselves, the salespersons were also busy attending to their needs.

But when Mu Qiqi was putting on a dress, she heard some people gossiping.

“Do you know that noble man outside? He is the young master of the Sheng family. But why does he have such a thin girlfriend?”

“What do you know? She is young. Eighteen years old at most.”

“You are right. It is normal for a rich man to play with a young girl. Until when he is bored with the girl or she gets pregnant, she will be dumped anyway.”

Mu Qiqi heard their conversation clearly. So, she marched out of the fitting room, passed the dress to the manager and walked to Sheng Xiao. Then, she moved forward and whispered into Sheng Xiao’s ear.

After Sheng Xiao listened to what she had said, his eyes darkened. Then, he beckoned the manager using his finger.

When the manager stood close enough, then only he said, “The two staff in the fitting room are too noisy. You better make them zip their mouths.”

The manager immediately broke out in a cold sweat. “Don’t worry, Mr. Sheng. I will make proper arrangements for them.”

Although Sheng Xiao did not say it clearly, the two would not make it through easily. After all, minding their words was the most important thing they needed to know when working in this kind of place.

“If it happens again, you should consider closing down your boutique already.”

The manager was trembling with fear. She was now just waiting for the two to leave and she was going to fire the two workers. What were these two people that they even dared to offend Sheng Xiao?

Since she got into the car, Mu Qiqi pulled a long face. “Is it fun to talk about other people’s lives?”

Sheng Xiao chuckled and patted her head. “They are in charge of the talking, then I will take charge of making them shut up.”

“But, I haven’t bought a dress yet!”

“Who said so?” Sheng Xiao said with suspense. “When you were trying out the dresses. I have already chosen one for you. After she finishes altering the dress to fit your body, she will send it to the villa.”

“You know my measurements?”

Sheng Xiao looked at her from top to bottom. “Is it difficult to know your measurements?” historical

Mu Qiqi snorted and stopped talking. They rarely went out for a date in broad daylight. So, after lunch, Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi to the hotel where the charity banquet would be held for a short rest. “The event will end at three o’clock. I will come and get you afterward.”

“I can just go home.”

“Wait for me.” Sheng Xiao was not giving Mu Qiqi any chance to reject. He put on his maroon suit and went straight to the banquet hall.

As expected, Grandpa Mu and Mu Xiao came as well.

During the banquet, Sheng Xiao only focused on accomplishing his mission for Huang Yao. He donated a few hundred thousand for charity work. He did not even try to go against the Mu family.

Grandpa Mu was curious. Had Sheng Xiao become zen?

What he did not expect was that Sheng Xiao purposely stopped his car right in front of theirs when they were leaving the hotel. And the person who got into the car with Sheng Xiao would be Mu Qiqi.

When Mr. Mu Xiao saw the girl, he pointed at her and said, “Father, isn’t she Qiqi?”

“Where is she?” Grandpa looked in the direction his son was pointing at. Mu Qiqi wore a cap to cover her face when she got into Sheng Xiao’s car. But she was still recognizable. “Yes, she really is Qiqi.”

“How did they get together?”

“Sheng Xiao and Qiqi?” The two men were confused when they got into their car. But soon enough, they understood what it was.

“Father, I think that the young master of the Sheng family must be the one who helped Qiqi all this while. We were just not aware of it,” said Mr. Mu Xiao. “Luckily, I did not mess with him last time.”

“No wonder Qiqi always got through all the crises so smoothly. Apparently, Sheng Xiao helped her from behind the scenes.”

“But the Sheng family is our enemy.”

Grandpa Shen shook his head and signaled Mr. Mu Xiao to be quiet. “Since Sheng Xiao let us know his relationship with Qiqi, it means he has nothing to be afraid of already. By the way, Mu Qiqi is not a member of the Mu family. So, who she is with has nothing to do with us. Sheng Xiao is big trouble, we better don’t go and mess with him. The Mu family is too weak to withstand another blow from him. So, let’s keep a distance from him. And from now on, don’t mention Qiqi in the Mu family.”

“Yes.”

Mu Xiao was totally aware that Mu Group was not a match to Huang Yao. Moreover, he had just taken over Mu Group. He would definitely not want to provoke Sheng Xiao.

“I never expect that Mu Qiqi is that good at keeping secrets!”

Sheng Xiao knew the two men behind them had seen him and Mu Qiqi because he intended to let them see it. Mu Qiqi was just to be a lowly ant in the Mu family. But now, she was not just the young lady of the Shen family, she was also Sheng Xiao’s woman. The Mu family would only be more regretful for what they had done and fearful of her.

Finally, his little one was going to wave goodbye to her past.
