Chapter 842: How Bad Was Your Taste in the Past
Sensing that Sheng Xiao had something to say, Feng Shanshan said, “I’ve finished eating. I should go back now or I won’t get to greet Tang Yan when he gets home later.”
“Let Fifth Aunt send you back,” Mu Qiqi stood up and said.
“No need. Things aren’t so bad that I can’t even walk.”
After saying that, Feng Shanshan left the table and walked toward the door. When Fifth Aunt saw her, she quickly followed her to see her off.
The living room was instantly silent. Sheng Xiao walked to Mu Qiqi’s side and rubbed the little thing’s head. “Don’t laugh at everyone. You look silly.”
“I’m happy.”
She was so happy that Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He never thought of himself as a person who liked to be sad. However, after being with this thing for the past few years, his emotions seemed to have long been controlled by her.
“Let’s go back to the Sheng family for dinner tonight, okay?”
“Can’t we just tell Old Master Sheng? I don’t want to cause any more trouble. The others are too chatty,” Mu Qiqi said, unable to help herself. She did not trust the rest of the Sheng family, especially Sixth Brother. “We need to find a time to inform Auntie. These are my closest family members. I want to share this good news with my closest family members.”
“I’ll arrange it.”
He was afraid that this little thing’s excitement would last for a long time.
Forget it.
How could he say that he wasn’t happy? This little one was pregnant with his child and had his blood in her belly. How could he not be happy? He had never thought that there would be a day when a family of three would be the most beautiful picture in the world. This was because the little thing that was about to be born in a few months had half of his blood and half from the woman he loved the most.
This was very magical, wasn’t it?
It turned out that falling in love would really bear fruit in the end.
More importantly, according to Fifth Aunt, a woman’s highest contribution to a man was when she was willing to give birth to his child. How much did Qi’er love him to the point that she had no regrets? Why would she be so happy for a child?
He was going to become a father.
In the past thirty years, he had never felt such a strange and proud feeling. In the future, there would be an even smaller thing that would rely on him to survive.
“What are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed in your thoughts.” Mu Qiqi poked the man’s chest as she drank her soup.
“Why don’t you stay at your aunt’s place for a night?”
“Can I?”
“I said I won’t let you go out, and you really don’t take a single step out?” Sheng Xiao’s eyes lit up when he saw her. He could not help feeling sorry.
“This concerns the safety of you, Dad, me, and the baby, the four of us. So why would I do anything to endanger us? I’ll be very obedient.”
How silly.
Sheng Xiao did not say anything else. He accompanied Mu Qiqi for lunch and then took a nap with her. In the afternoon, he held a video conference in the study. In the evening, he brought Mu Qiqi out.
Old Master Sheng did not know that the two of them would suddenly come over for dinner. He only prepared a few things that Mu Qiqi liked to eat. The Sheng family’s small kitchen had always been very nice. Mu Qiqi liked the Sheng family’s dinner.
“Eighth Brother, you’re suddenly back. Got something to share?” Old Master Sheng thought that it might be something to do with Huang Yao. Otherwise, why would they come for no reason?
“No, I’m just here to eat.” Sheng Xiao rested one hand on Mu Qiqi’s chair and answered Old Master Sheng lazily.
Old Master Sheng snorted and pointed at him. “After you’re done eating, come to the study and play chess with me.”
“Don’t cry if you lose.”
It had been many years since the grandfather and grandson pair had had such a harmonious time playing chess.
The other members of the Sheng family did not notice anything strange. After dinner, they all returned to their rooms.
In the study, Old Master Sheng looked at Sheng Xiao with anticipation. His eyes did not hide his wisdom. “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
He was his grandson after all. He had watched him grow up. Old Master Sheng knew very well what kind of temper Sheng Xiao had.
“It’s nothing. I just came to tell you that you’ve leveled up.” Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s hand as he spoke proudly to Old Master Sheng.
“Leveled up to what?” Old Master Sheng did not understand.
Mu Qiqi then patted her belly. And Old Master Sheng immediately understood. “That’s it?”
“What do you mean ‘that’s it’?” Mu Qiqi expressed her dissatisfaction with the old man’s choice of words.
“I wasn’t expecting to be able to see the birth of Eighth Brother’s child in my lifetime.” The old man was elated. “With your temper in the past, I thought you would never have children in this lifetime.”
“Keep this a secret. There’s no need for the rest of the Sheng family to know so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
The old man understood the gravity of the situation and nodded. “You’re a father now. You’re more mature and thoughtful than before. I have nothing to worry about. I’m just worried that this girl is too naughty.”
“You’re an old man. Speak with your conscience…” Mu Qiqi rolled his eyes at him.
“Now that you have a child, and the development of Huang Yao isn’t bad, my wish has been fulfilled. Even if I leave now, I have no regrets. The only thing that makes me feel bad…” Old Man Sheng smiled bitterly and didn’t speak.
Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao understood what he meant as he trailed off.
Sheng Kai had always been a thorn in Old Master Sheng’s heart and could not be eradicated.
“Eighth Brother, take good care of this girl in the future. Because of me, she has suffered a lot. In the future, whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl, my shares will belong to my little great-grandchild. No one will have a say in that.”
To be honest, did Mu Qiqi care? She did not, but this was the old man’s intention.
He had apologized to her on many occasions. The grudge between the two of them was long gone.
“Tell me, how bad was your taste in the past…”
The old man could not help but laugh.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Hurry home and get some rest.”
When they left the house, Sheng Xiao called Su Zipei. After they left the Sheng family, they went straight to the small villa.
Mu Qiqi was a little nervous when she thought about meeting her aunt. Moreover, there were many memories of her and Sheng Xiao in the small villa, especially with the few trees outside. In the past, Sheng Xiao would always wait for her down there, and the two of them would secretly go out on dates.
“After visiting your aunt, any other places you want to go?” On the way to the small villa, Sheng Xiao asked Mu Qiqi in a low voice.
“I’m a little sleepy.” Mu Qiqi leaned against the passenger seat and closed her eyes as she tried to find a comfortable position. She fell asleep before they reached the small villa.
Sheng Xiao did not disturb her. He just slowed down the car so that she could sleep more comfortably.
When they reached the small villa, Sheng Xiao carried her in. Su Zipei was shocked when she saw him. “What happened?”
“She just fell asleep,” Sheng Xiao replied in a low voice.
“That’s good. I thought… Hurry up and send her to her room. I haven’t touched it,” Su Zipei quickly greeted him.
