Grandpa Lin glanced at him and nodded. “Speak your mind.”

Lin Mu’an walked closer to Grandpa Lin and sat on the couch. He seemed to be not looking very good. Of course, that was all acting. “I heard rumors saying that Miss Shen is hospitalized because of a man. But that family does not seem to be having the same thought as her, so…”

“Grandpa, come to think of it. Grandpa Shen wanted me to get closer with Miss Qiqi on the day we celebrated your birthday. But now, it has become Miss Ruoyi. Don’t you feel something is off?”

“I do not wish that your friendship with Grandpa Shen will be affected because of this. But this is something I must tell you or I will feel uneasy.”

Grandpa Lin thought in silence. He did not refute his grandson. Lin Mu’an was always a thoughtful and thorough one in handling matters. Also, he never went against him in this kind of thing. He was always complimented by the families of the young ladies after he met them.

So, if Lin Mu’an felt embarrassed, then he needed to dig deeper into Shen Ruoyi and find out the truth.

“Is this news reliable?”

“Of course, Grandpa. You know, if it is not true, I will not tell you in such a hurry…”

“Don’t say anything more. Although I am close with Old Shen, you are the pride of the Lin family. I will not let you be someone else’s backup boyfriend. As for the matter of the Shen family, don’t worry about it anymore. If you don’t want to meet Miss Shen again, you can just ignore her.”

“Thank you, Grandpa!”

Lin Mu’an chose his words wisely to hint to his grandfather. But Grandpa Lin understood his point without any difficulty. His diplomatic skills gained through years of working with the officials was indeed well polished.

Although Lin Mu’an might not be as excellent as the crown prince, he was not a person that could just be the backup boyfriend for someone else. What was Shen Ruoyi even thinking of all day long?

…

While the conversation between the grandfather and the grandson was taking place, Mu Qiqi told Lu Qianqian about what had happened in the Shen family.

After Qianqian heard the story, she felt speechless toward Cen Suyun and her daughter. “Are you saying that after Shen Ruoyi has given up on the crown prince, she thought of Lin Mu’an, and is targeting him now?”

“It seems like she is.”

“No wonder Lin Mu’an was in such a hurry to meet the crown prince. He probably wanted to look for a way to get rid of her.” Lu Qianqian sighed. “How badly does she want to get married that she can even get a backup in such a short time? Lin Mu’an must be annoyed…”

“I am not sure about this.”

“This is so interesting.” Lu Qianqian did not realize that so much had happened to Mu Qiqi while she was immersed in her own sadness. “Are this mother and daughter still looking for chances to trouble you and reveal your secret?”

“Yes…”

“All I can say is that they are too brave! Oh, I really want to know how Lin Mu’an managed to get rid of that woman.”

So, everyone had understood the whole situation clearly and Cen Suyun and her daughter were the only ones with wishful thinking.

“You are close to Lin Mu’an. Why don’t you ask him in person?”

“Hush, don’t tease me like that!” Lu Qianqian pushed Mu Qianqian playfully.

Later, Mu Qiqi returned to the villa. Her coursemate who was following her was in fact a persistent one. Mu Qiqi and Lu Qianqian chatted in the café for so long, and she could even bear it.

When Mu Qiqi entered the villa, she sneaked to the security guard and asked for Mu Qiqi’s door number.

But, the guard did not tell her.

So, she secretly shoved a pile of cash into his pocket…

Finally, she got the answer she wanted. “That girl had moved into the villa for quite a while now. She was living with a man. But I did not know them.”

“They always come home separately. If you want to know who her man is, you can come and take a look some other day.”

“As for the door number, I cannot tell you.”

“I have enough information already.” The coursemate was satisfied with what she got. Because that was what Cen Suyuan and her daughter wanted.

“Mu Qiqi is really living with a man!” Cen Suyun was excited. “What a shame that we do not know who that man is yet.”

“Mother, now that Mu Qiqi is still not aware of this, we will be able to find out sooner or later. Don’t worry.” Shen Ruoyi reminded her. “We should be patient.”

“By the way, you went to meet Young Master Lin today. How was it?”

“He was not at home.” Shen Ruoyi answered nonchalantly while removing her makeup.

“If he was not at home, why didn’t you go to where he was?”

“I will go again tomorrow,” said Shen Ruoyi.

After hearing that reply, Cen Suyun was satisfied. “That’s much better.”

…

At night, the weather was getting cooler, but Mu Qiqi was still walking around barefooted at home. When Sheng Xiao saw it, he put her on his shoulder and walked into their bedroom.

“Xiaoxiao…”

“Are you purposely making me worry by walking around barefooted? Have you forgotten the pain on your bottom?” Sheng Xiao helped her sit on the bed and knelt before her, putting the slippers on her feet.

When Mu Qiqi heard him mentioning about her bottom, she quickly covered them and said, “Don’t you always spank me. I am already an adult.”

“It doesn’t matter how old you are, you are always my little one. And since the day you were by my side, I’ve been assuming the role of a father and brother to you. And now only you come and argue with me, saying that you are an adult?”

“I must spank you when I need to teach you a lesson.”

“I will remember to wear my slippers next time. Can you please let me go this time, Crown Prince?”

“Acting cute again.” Sheng Xiao pinched her nose. He stood up and turned around, wanting to walk out of the bedroom.

Right at that moment, Mu Qiqi snatched the chance and jumped onto his back. “Cen Suyun and her daughter know that I am living with a man here. They will surely come here again to find out who this man is.”

“Why don’t I make an appearance in front of them?” Sheng Xiao purposely teased Mu Qiqi. “I want to let them know that I do want you instead of her daughter.”

“Not now.”

Sheng Xiao smiled. He knew why his little one did not want to publicize their relationship. She always wanted to grow up faster and become a more outstanding person before it happened. She wanted to minimize the chances of Sheng Xiao being criticized by the other people. It will be better for him this way.

“I don’t care if my reputation is not good. My birth is already something that people laugh at anyway. But I care about you. I don’t know what I should do to make people stop gossiping…”

Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He carried Mu Qiqi to the study. He just let her clung onto him like a koala.

“Do you love me that much?” Sheng Xiao lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms.

Mu Qiqi was already half asleep, but she still replied to Sheng Xiao. “I love you. I love you very much.”

Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He embraced his little one in his arms tightly.

Did the love from an eighteen-year-old make people feel light, as if it was nothing precious?

But Sheng Xiao believed in Mu Qiqi’s love. It was because she was eighteen years old that her love was plain, pure, and sincere.

It was the best moment of her life.
