Seizing the moment, Sheng Xiao caught her chin for another long kiss, before letting her go and allowing her space to breathe.
"If you weren't a little one, I wouldn't just be meeting you at an amusement park."
Sheng Xiao had never repressed his desires in front of Mu Qiqiit was the most direct expression of interest between genders.
Even if Mu Qiqi would often find herself embarrassed, that was the Sheng Xiao she could swear a deadly oath that she loved, and it was clear that she had always been captivated by him...
As such, she moved closed for another kiss, allowing him to catch her lips and tease it however he wanted...
***
Amidst Mu Qiqi's bliss in the night, Mu Tangxue was hiding in her grandfather's house since she had no courage to return.
Grandpa Mu knew that Mu Qiqi had been chased out of the family after his longtime partner had passed away. Even so, he never seemed to react much because he had not overcome the agony from his wife's passing.
Now, things escalated with Mu Tangxue being unable to return home just because she accused Mu Qiqi, as well as Mama Mu's adding details to the story.
Therefore, Grandpa Mu's distrust against Mu Qiqi only deepened.
It was just a short time apart, but that little girl had already caused so much trouble.
Even so, was a grand family like the Mu family helpless against one girl?
Soon, Papa Mu had arrived as well, asking his own father to bring his own wife and daughter home.
Holding onto his crutch, Grandpa Mu was standing upright in the living room. "Tangxue has already told me everything as it is," he told his son. "Why are you blaming her instead of trying to shut Mu Qiqi up? She wouldn't have said the wrong thing if she wasn't bullied by Mu Qiqi in school."
"In the end, you have to take responsibility as a father!"
"Dad..." Papa Mu exclaimed helplessly.
"Tangxue is the only daughter of the Mu family.
Why aren't you caring for her? Hadn't she been bullied enough by Mu Qiqi? Instead, all you do every day is to scold herif you don't treat her right, the management rights of Mu Shi would go to your brothers!"
"I will make things right, Dad." Papa Mu lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Mu Qiqi has already left our family. She's an outsider, and as Tangxue's father, you should be taking her side. Why would you let an outsider get what she wants instead?"
In other words, Grandpa Mu was implying that every single one of Mu Tangxue's mistakes was Mu Qiqi's instead.
Because their own family could never be at fault.
Understanding what the old man meant, Papa Mu verbally promised that he would watch his own behavior and never blame Mu Tangxue again!
"And why hold back against outsiders?"
Grandpa Mu certainly hated Mu Qiqi. He loved his wife dearly, only to have Mu Qiqi kill her ever so simplyand from his stubborn point of view, he was more willing to believe Mu Tangxue since his wife loved her a lot since she was a child.
Mu Qiqi's departure from the Mu family and her subsequent enmity made things even more evident: she was an ungrateful brat from the very start, and the Mu family did not have to treat her kindly!
Therefore, he was directly telling Papa Mu that he did not need to compromise against outsiders!
