"Then, when shall we tell Qiqi the truth?"
It was what he was most unwilling to face. It was because his little girl had endured and suffered much. It was enough...
"I'll talk to her when the time comes." Sheng Xiao said to Su Zipei. "I don't want to conceal the truth from her. She claims that she's an adult now. She should have the right to know.
"Moreover, I believe that my woman possesses that kind of endurance."
Su Zipei nodded her head when she heard that. "After going through so much in her life, Qiqi needs neither our consolation nor worry. She knows how to tackle it herself."
"It's easy to reveal the truth to Mu Tangxue unintentionally. I'll pretend that I'm going to investigate the past and go to meet Mr. Mu Xiao. Then, I'll tell him about it unintentionally. I'm sure he will tell the Mu family about it.
"When it's the time, I'll go and meet him immediately!
"It's not convenient for me to meet the Mu family. So, all I have is you," Sheng Xiao said to Su Zipei. "At least, we still can't let them know that I'm the one who's been backing Qiqi. When it's the right time and we're sure that the Mu family can do nothing else to harm her, then I'll go and meet them."
"I understand." Su Zipei nodded her head. "Then, I'll wait for your news. Young Master Sheng, Qiqi's birth and background are quite complicated. How about the two of you? What about your future?"
Are you talking about the Sheng family?" Suddenly, Sheng Xiao looked toward the door of the study and remained cold. "I'll plan everything out for Qiqi. You don't have to worry about it!"
"Young Master Sheng, I'll do anything as long as it can help you and Qiqi. You just have to ask...
"Qiqi is my only family now. If I don't help her, who should I help?"
Sheng Xiao knew how Su Zipei treated Mu Qiqi. She always treated her as her own daughter.
"If that's what you want, lead a good life."
Mu Qiqi had all kinds of thoughts when she sat in the living room. What was there to hide from her?
Surely, it was not a good thing since they needed to conceal it from her.
Soon, Sheng Xiao and Su Zipei left the study. Sheng Xiao then waved at Mu Qiqi. "Come let's go home now..."
Mu Qiqi nodded her head and followed close behind Sheng Xiao. When they got into the car, Sheng Xiao asked Mu Qiqi, "Have you ever thought about the possibility that you don't belong to the Mu family?"
Mu Qiqi was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, she nodded her head. "I've never regarded myself as one of them."
"I'm serious!"
Mu Qiqi felt that what Sheng Xiao was going to say was not as simple as that. So, she replied seriously, "Yes. I always thought that I was the odd one out in the Mu family since young. It's because they are good at pretending and acting, especially Mu Tangxue. But, why aren't I the same family as them, given that I look just like Mu Tangxue?"
Sheng Xiao remained quiet. But, his face remained cold and dark. Mu Qiqi felt that he was holding himself back.
Mu Qiqi waited for him to say something more but Sheng Xiao remained quiet.
Until they reached their new home...
Sheng Xiao led Mu Qiqi to the study. Then, he placed the DNA report in front of her. "Read it yourself."
"Whose DNA reports are these?" Mu Qiqi tore off the envelope and asked Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao took off his shirt and his brown upper body was revealed. Then, he sat down beside Mu Qiqi and hugged her as she was opening the yellow envelope.
Mu Qiqi could smell Sheng Xiao now. It was a nice scent and it distracted her.
