"There's one more problem. Xiaoxiao, I don't know how to cook." Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao helplessly.
"Just cook some noodles." Sheng Xiao got up from the sofa and looked into the refrigerator. He then took out some ingredients.
Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao who had rolled up his sleeves and busied himself in the kitchen. She had no choice but to stay beside him and help him around. It was just like a veteran cook showing a novice cook what to do around the kitchen.
Displeasure was written all over Sheng Xiao's face. Although his noodles did not look good, Mu Qiqi felt that it was quite enough for her.
Sheng Xiao said one thing to her when he served the noodles. "No one dares to ask me to cook except you, my little darling."
Mu Qiqi took a bite and spat it out without any hesitation. Sheng Xiao folded his arms. He stared at her coldly. "How dare you spit out the noodles!"
Mu Qiqi thought for a while. Then, she got down from her seat and went over to where Sheng Xiao was sitting. She put some noodles in her mouth. Then, she held Sheng Xiao's face in her hands. Before Sheng Xiao could make any response, she fed him the noodles with her mouth.
They shared the noodles in their kiss.
Mu Qiqi's face flushed. She smiled happily. "The noodles won't be disgusting if we eat it this way."
"Mu Qiqi, you're so naughty now." Sheng Xiao enjoyed being loved and cared for by Mu Qiqi like that. The noodles became quite sweet no matter how disgusting it was before.
"You're the one who taught me that!"
Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi. Then, he pointed at the noodles in front of him. "Continue what you started.."
It was well past midnight. Mu Qiqi's uncle came out from the casino. He was surrounded by three men in black. They were asking him to return the money.
The man did not know what had happened. But, he soon fell down on his knees and begged them for their forgiveness when he saw the axes in their hands. "No. I don't owe you money. I never asked for a loan!"
"How dare you say that! Then, tell me, what's this?" The man took out the loan receipt he signed in the morning. "It's clearly stated here. You're going to return a million dollars to us after midnight.
It's going to be two million dollars if you're late one day. If you're still unable to pay the loan, you're going to have to give up both of your hands and legs to compensate for it. You're the one who signed this. How dare you deny it now!"
The man looked at the receipt and soon he remembered the guarantee letter which Sheng Xiao had asked him to sign earlier on.
No wonder Sheng Xiao had been so generous with him. It was all but a trap.
He had to return a million dollars for loaning ten thousand dollars!
The man was frightened when he saw the axes in their hands. He then begged for forgiveness, "I signed a guarantee letter this morning, not a loan receipt..."
"It seems like you want to give up a hand and a leg now. I'm telling you now, we'll be able to find you no matter where you go as long as it's in Jianchuan. So, don't you dare try to run away from paying the loan!"
"No! How about this? I'll pay you the money tomorrow morning. You need to give me some time to collect the money, isn't it?" The man quickly pacified them.
"Fine, we'll be waiting for you in front of your house tomorrow morning at six o'clock. If you dare to run away, you'll spend the rest of your life in bed."
Then, the men left with their axes. By now, Mu Qiqi's uncle's legs were trembling vigorously.
The bastard knew that it was useless lingering there for he knew very well that he had been framed. What he should do now was run away from there while he still had some money with him.
The next morning, Sheng Xiao received a call from Jing Yun. "That bastard has disappeared from Jianchuan. He is gone for real this time!"
"Don't ever let him come back!" Sheng Xiao ended the call when he finished talking.
He must eliminate every threat against Mu Qiqi.
