Mu Qiqi was so excited her entire person seemed to have been soaked within a pink bubble. She was in a hurry to get downstairs, only calming down and becoming quiet when she entered the Ferris Wheel.

After all, Sheng Xiao was sitting right beside her.

He was so handsome when looked upon from the side...

There were people who did not actually have what it takes to approach Sheng Xiao, and yet she was having a merry time beside him. It certainly left Mu Qiqi having the illusion that she was special to Sheng Xiao.

“Such a nice view now, is it?” Sheng Xiao had his eyes closed at first, but simply asked since she could not escape Mu Qiqi’s burning gaze.

“It is!” Mu Qiqi exclaimed, pointing at the scenery outside. “To think that the night view of Jianchuan is so beautiful.”

Sheng Xiao sneered, but did not expose her. “Bumpkin.”

Mu Qiqi’s smile was very carefree. At the very least, she had never felt such happiness and bliss when she was with the Mu family.

She valued her time in the Ferris wheel, hoping that their time there could last a little longer...

But the best moments are always so brief.

“Let’s go home.”

They had been out for some time, not to mention that Mu Qiqi needed her strength tomorrow to confront Mu Tangxue. As such, Sheng Xiao did not allow her to remain away from home for too long.

Even if Mu Qiqi felt a little sad, she told herself to be satisfied with what she had. She should be glad with what she has, because what if her remaining happiness was taken away because she wanted too much?

When Su Zipei found Qiqi completely different from how she had been when she left, she realized how important Sheng Xiao was to a niece and so smiled at the young man. “Thank you, Young Master Sheng... for accompanying when she’s sad.”

Sheng Xiao said nothing, instead turning to leave dashingly. Still, it was only when he got into his sports car that he felt his quickened heartbeats.

Was it so easy to be captivated?

Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi was sprawled over her window, finally feeling sad when she saw Sheng Xiao leave before settling on to her small bed.

She wanted to spend more time alone with Sheng Xiao.

However, wasn’t that a wild wish?

That being said, he allowed her to call him Xiaoxiao...

He allowed it!

Mu Qiqi’s heart was beating very quickly and she turned on her phone by reflex. Nonetheless, she became serious when she saw Qianqian’s message.

She must rest as much as she can right now for her showdown against Mu Tangxue tomorrow.

Sheng Xiao found Mama Sheng at the living room when he reached home.

She quickly greeted his son with a smile when she saw his figure. “Come here, let’s talk for a bit.”

Sheng Xiao glanced at her and then at the various photographs on the table in front of her, instantly coming to an understanding. “What is it this time, Mom?”

“I know my son wouldn’t even spare goddesses so much as a glance, but you are twenty-six this year... Isn’t it time you start a family?” Mama Sheng tugged at him, getting him to sit. “Everyone else in the Sheng family is expecting their second child at your age... isn’t it time that you reconsider?”

Sheng Xiao looked at the pictures of refined young ladies from good families for a moment before turning back to her mother. “Mom, don’t let me see these things from now on. You know my temper very well.”

“But...” ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

“Let me put it this way, Mom. I would agree to it if Dad could compel me to marry.”

Mama Sheng promptly smiled, but that was before Sheng Xiao added, “However, I’m going to restrain and torment, even lay my hands on her. Don’t blame me for not warning you when I return the corpse.”

Mama Sheng’s smile froze.

“I’m off to bed—I still have things to do tomorrow. Goodnight, Mom.” With that, Sheng Xiao rose from his seat and hurried back to his room, moving so quickly she could not stop him.

It was because he knew the making of his own family that he would make his thoughts clear beforehand.

Moreover, he was even less interested in women after Mu Qiqi had entered her life.

He had his hands full with that young lady!

Mu Qiqi woke up early the next morning.

However, Su Zipei was still slightly worried although her niece was calmly having her breakfast. “About school...”

“Relax, Aunt Zipei. I’ll handle things at school.” Mu Qiqi smiled.

“Will things really be alright?”

“I can handle it.” Mu Qiqi repeated confidently.

The sun in her heart had kept her fearless against the darkness. With that very thought, Mu Qiqi’s fingers tightened over her pen—her only belonging that had been given by Sheng Xiao.

It was as if his warmth lingered over it.

“Well... be careful. Just give Young Master Sheng a call if there’s anything you can’t deal with.”

Su Zipei certainly had reason to worry.

There was no telling what else Mu Tangxue had cooked up to bring the other students to her side in the two days Mu Qiqi was away. If Mu Qiqi was to suffer school violence once again, Su Zipei could imagine that the confidence she gained through so much effort would crumble and go completely to waste.

Mu Qiqi knew that her aunt was worried, but could only smile composedly.

That was exactly why she must prove that she could handle herself with her own actions.

Soon, Mu Qiqi got on old Lin’s car and reached Eaton in no time at all.

Be that as it may, word had traveled very fast since it was a sensational gossip to the students. Naturally, they did not even restrain themselves from pointing and gesturing when they saw her.

“Look, it’s Mu Qiqi—Van Gogh’s very own explosive dropout.”

“That’s her... she must have been cheating to get her grades before.”

“I heard that she was friends with thugs. There’s even rumors that she had an abortion.”

“How disgusting.”

“She doesn’t deserve to stay here in Eaton.”

Mu Qiqi was aware that everyone around her had misunderstood her, cursing her and humiliating her.

Even so, she was no longer afraid like she was in the past. When she ran into Mu Tangxue in class, she remained ever determined and there were no signs that she was yield to her like before.

“Ah, Sis. You’re back.

“Yes, I’m back...” Mu Qiqi nodded slightly. “Coming so close, aren’t you afraid that I’ll bully you?”

“Save yourself from your own troubles, Sis. The rumors are just horrible... the whole class hates you now, I’m really worried for you.” 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Mu Qiqi laughed and returned to her seat, where her tablemate Qianqian asked, “What did that scheming sister of yours say?”

“She’s waiting for me to bow to her!” Mu Qiqi replied. “Because when everyone else in class start to keep their distance, I can only ask for her help...”

“I’m having goosebumps just thinking about it.” Qianqain shivered, clutching her own shoulders. “But how are you going to explain things to our class?”

“Wait and see my show.” Mu Qiqi smiled confidently.
