Chapter 939 - You're Still My Only Wife
Chapter 939: You’re Still My Only Wife
In the hospital, after Mu Qiqi left, the ward suddenly became quiet.
Seeing that there was someone guarding the door, Song Qiaozhi was relieved. After getting up and closing the door, she sat next to Sheng Kai’s bed.
Then, she stretched out her injured hand and tightly held Sheng Kai’s. “How can you be so stupid? I’m not worth it at all…”
“It’s… worth it.”
She raised her head in surprise, in response to the hoarse voice.
“You’re awake?”
“You’re worth it.” Sheng Kai was seriously injured, so he didn’t dare to move. However, he saw that his woman was staying by his side, so everything that happened today was worth it.
“I’ll never leave you again. Ah Kai, we’ll never be separated again in this life.” Song Qiaozhi lay on Sheng Kai’s body and cried bitterly. “When you’re better, we’ll have children. Our family will be together forever.”
Sheng Kai really wanted to raise his hand, but he didn’t have the strength.
However, his feelings were complex. He had a lot to say, but his body was too tired.
..
That night, Old Master Sheng didn’t wait for Song Qiaozhi and Sheng Kai to come home for dinner. Instead, Mu Qiqi went back to the Sheng family’s home.
“Give Second Brother and Xiao Song a call and ask them where they are. It’s already nine o’clock. Why aren’t they back yet? There should be a limit to dating.”
The old man was very anxious and irritable. It was like he had a premonition.
Mu Qiqi put down her chopsticks and pressed her hand down on the back of his skinny hand. She said seriously, “Don’t look for them. They won’t be back for dinner tonight. They’re at the hospital. However, I can promise you that in half a month, they will definitely come back to have dinner with you, and they will continue to eat with you after that.”
The old man looked at Mu Qiqi. His lips moved, but he couldn’t make a sound.
“Don’t ask why. Second Brother has to pay a price if he wants to completely cut off his connection with the Song family. But fortunately, all of this is solved.” Mu Qiqi looked relaxed. There was no trace of worry. “So, you don’t have to worry.”
“Did Eighth Brother intervene?”
Mu Qiqi nodded. There was no need to hide these things from the old man.
He sighed and picked up the bowl and chopsticks again. “In the past, I couldn’t wait for Eighth Brother to take on the big responsibility that is the Sheng family. Now that he has, my old bones can’t bear it.”
“Fortunately, Eighth Brother still has you by his side. I can rest assured.”
“What do you mean?” Mu Qiqi was unhappy. “In the future, you will be an old man who eats by himself. I won’t accompany you.”
“Qi, thank you,” the old man said sincerely. “Eighth Brother may be able to do everything, but without you in the family, he wouldn’t have become like this. He is mature and steady. He made the change for you.”
“Of course.” Mu Qiqi looked pleased. “So, you have to be nicer to me.”
After Sheng Xiao finished dealing with Zhongteng and went back to the Sheng family to pick up Mu Qiqi when she was done with the meal.
On the way back, Mu Qiqi looked at him like a little fangirl with a strong sense of infatuation.
“If you look at my clothes again, they’re going to burn,” Sheng Xiao told her as he drove.
“Just now, the old man thanked me. Although I don’t remember the grudges from before, I still feel a sense of accomplishment when I see him relying on me so much now.”
“So?”
“Your wife is a heartthrob.” Mu Qiqi could not help but laugh when she finished speaking.
Sheng Xiao did not go along with her performance. Instead, he said to her, “When we get home later, you sleep first. I’m going to the Shen family’s home.”
“Are you going to discuss something big with Dad again?”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything. After the car stopped, he kissed Mu Qiqi on the forehead and said, “You have to protect the both of you so that you can become superheroes, right? Go in.”
Mu Qiqi nodded and went into the house very carefully. Only then did Sheng Xiao go to the Shen family’s house with ease.
..
“Did you expose the old lady’s matter to Song Jiang?”
“That’s why I’m going the other way.” Sheng Xiao had come today to talk to Shen Jianchuan about this matter. “My meeting with Song Jiang today is equivalent to signing a truce. However, I have no intention of stopping the investigation on him.”
“Besides, the old lady can’t be the initiator of the whole thing.”
“Why?”Shen Jianchuan asked back.
“Because on the day she arrived at Jianchuan, I arranged for her to undergo a full-body examination. Today, I received her examination report, early stage lung cancer.”
Shen Jianchuan was silent after hearing that. After a moment, he said, “Then she needs treatment.”
“I’ve already made the arrangements,” Sheng Xiao replied.
Shen Jianchuan nodded. “The world is unpredictable. I hope the old lady can recover.”
“I promised Song Jiang that I would delete the recording on my phone. However, Song Qiaozhi and Sheng Kai still have the original version. I will give it to Tang Yan to study to find the murderer behind the string of murders. However, this matter can only be carried out in secret.”
“Song Jiang must hate you the most right now.” Shen Jianchuan pointed at Sheng Xiao. “So, you and Qiqi must be careful, especially her. She will be giving birth in a few months. I don’t want to give the Song family an opportunity to cause trouble. That is also your life. You have to hold on tight.”
“As for the other matters, leave the education industry to me. Right now, a few big brands are in the process of integrating. It’s more than enough for them to work together to fight against an Asian merchant.”
“They won’t have the opportunity.” Sheng Xiao’s tone was firm as he gave Shen Jianchuan an answer.
..
In the Banyan Courtyard, Mu Qiqi was soaking in the bathtub in her bedroom alone.
The little thing in her stomach was growing day by day. Mu Qiqi could clearly feel her appetite growing too with each passing day.
Seeing that her hands and feet had swollen up, Mu Qiqi was a little discouraged. “After giving birth, I wonder how fat I’ll be.”
“No matter how fat you get, you’re still my only wife,” Sheng Xiao leaned against the door frame and answered her while she was muttering to herself.
Mu Qiqi turned her head and saw the man. She immediately smiled. “You’re back.”
“How do you do it? Are you always so surprised to see me?” Sheng Xiao was a little puzzled.
They had only been apart for twenty minutes.
“Don’t you want to touch me, kiss me, and hug me when you see me? I thought that’s what happens when you love someone. Even when you’re in front of me, I still miss you very much. My heart is filled with you, and I feel very happy to see you every second.”
When Sheng Xiao heard this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. After taking off his clothes, he entered the bathtub with his long legs and hugged Mu Qiqi. “Can you repeat what you just said?”
