Since Su Zipei knew Mu Qiqi's relationship with Sheng Xiao, Mu Qiqi seldom saw Sheng Xiao still at home when she woke up.
Normally, he would have already gone to Huang Yao.
However, it was not the case for today. When Mu Qiqi rolled over on the bed, she was surprised to see Sheng Xiao still lying beside her.
Sheng Xiao did not open his eyes when he draped his arms around Mu Qiqi and put his chin on her head.
"Why haven't you gone to Huang Yao?"
"Not today," replied Sheng Xiao. "Grandpa Shen called me yesterday night. He wanted to hold a gathering this coming weekend to officially announce your identity."
"So? What does it have to do with you not going to work?"
"I am bringing you to the boutique to order a dress. There is a charity banquet I have to attend in the evening. You should come with me." He opened his eyes and got up from bed.
When Mu Qiqi looked at him, she was almost bewitched by his strong physique again. He always liked to just wrap a towel around his waist and expose his upper body. How could she resist such temptation to check him out every time he did it?
Seeing Mu Qiqi's face, Sheng Xiao lowered his head and looked at his own body. He put on a playful smile. "Are you satisfied with it?"
"I will go and make some sandwiches." Mu Qiqi flushed when he asked.
Sheng Xiao looked at the direction Mu Qiqi was heading to then shook his head helplessly. They were already so intimate and familiar with each other but she was still so shy at times.
Actually, Mu Qiqi was not going to attend the charity banquet, but she was just accompanying him to get to the place.
He knew that Grandpa Mu was also going to the event. So, he thought it was a good time to let the Mu family know he was the one who always backed Mu Qiqi up.
Knowing none of this, Mu Qiqi was brought to an exclusive haute couture boutique after breakfast.
Still, Mu Qiqi was worried that she would be recognized by the staff there. But Sheng Xiao tucked her chin up and said, "Relax. Jing Yun made this arrangement. So, no one would dare to go out and talk about it."
"I have lots of outfits already. Do I really need to get such a fancy dress just to go to the Shen family?"
Sheng Xiao draped his arm around her neck and said, "I want to buy my girlfriend some clothes. Do you have any opinion about it?"
Mu Qiqi's heart was racing. How could she bear the feeling when Sheng Xiao flirted with her?
Sheng Xiao was busy choosing dresses for Mu Qiqi while Mu Qiqi was busy trying out the dresses in the fitting room. While they were busy with themselves, the salespersons were also busy attending to their needs.
But when Mu Qiqi was putting on a dress, she heard some people gossiping.
"Do you know that noble man outside? He is the young master of the Sheng family. But why does he have such a thin girlfriend?"
"What do you know? She is young. Eighteen years old at most."
"You are right.
It is normal for a rich man to play with a young girl. Until when he is bored with the girl or she gets pregnant, she will be dumped anyway."
Mu Qiqi heard their conversation clearly. So, she marched out of the fitting room, passed the dress to the manager and walked to Sheng Xiao. Then, she moved forward and whispered into Sheng Xiao's ear.
After Sheng Xiao listened to what she had said, his eyes darkened. Then, he beckoned the manager using his finger.
When the manager stood close enough, then only he said, "The two staff in the fitting room are too noisy. You better make them zip their mouths."
The manager immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "Don't worry, Mr. Sheng. I will make proper arrangements for them."
