The truth was that she had been hoping that Sheng Xiao would react to the matter.
However, he did not react and did not seem to particular mind her liking someone else.
"Xiaoxiao, thanks for coming to see me tonight. You should hurry home and rest..." Mu Qiqi turned and was about to get out of the car, but Sheng Xiao pulled her back.
"Did I say that you could leave? Hmmm?"
"Is there something else?" Mu Qiqi asked.
"Didn't you remember promising me that you won't get caught up in puppy love earlier?" Sheng Xiao said, suddenly digging out old promises. "Don't you think you've broke your promise?"
"Xiaoxiao...I...that..."
"Things never end well for anyone who lies to me." Sheng Xiao started the car then, stepping on the accelerator and taking Mu Qiqi away from the little mansion.
Mu Qiqi thought that Sheng Xiao was angry, and quickly explained, "Xiaoxiao...I didn't do that on purpose...don't get upset..."
Sheng Xiao ignored her and floored the pedal instead. Soon, they arrived at Eaton's main gates, and he parked the car on a junction where they could clearly see the entrance.
"That's..."
Sheng Xiao simply lifted her chin and said, "You're sleeping with me here tonight.
"
Mu Qiqi's cheeks went red, but she did not understand his meaning.
"By the way, is that someone you like really from school?" Sheng Xiao asked teasingly. "I thought you've always liked someone else."
Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao, afraid to even twitch because Sheng Xiao was using some strength.
She felt upset, but she still wouldn't dare to reveal who she liked because that would trouble Sheng Xiao.
When he saw that there were trails of tears over her cheeks, Sheng Xiao suddenly moved and gave her a soft kiss on the tip of her nose. "What are you crying about, little one?"
It was a peck as soft as a swan's feather, and yet Mu Qiqi's heart suddenly felt overflowing with energy. Hence, blushing, she mustered her courage and asked, "Xiaoxiao...could it be...you know..."
"Shut up and come here." Sheng Xiao stopped her from venturing further, and merely pulled her hands into his clothes.
Mu Qiqi looked at his exquisite looks from across the shortest of gaps, captivated.
"It's difficult to not know, what with that look of yours as if you want to devour me."
Mu Qiqi promptly smiled and then sighed. "Did you know how much I worried that you would misunderstand? Did you think my IQ is 250 like yours?"
Still, she now had peace of mind.
So Xiaoxiao knew everything, but he was not distancing himself and even willing to let her get so close.
Was she dreaming?
"Stop thinking nonsense and stop these guessing games. Just tell me when anything happens, immediately and no matter how big or small. Get it?"
Mu Qiqi quickly nodded; her hands and heart felt warm now.
"But are we here to stake out Mu Qiqi?"
