Mu Qiqi was already a grown-up. It should not be a problem for her to be engaged in a romantic relationship. But if it was Sheng Xiao that Mu Qiqi had got involved with, things could get very complicated.
First, their families were enemies for generations. And now, the two had a relationship of giving and receiving help. Even if they put aside these things, after they were together, they would definitely be hindered by the Sheng family.
Mu Qiqi was still young. Lu Wenhua did not wish for her to get into a relationship so early.
Especially with Sheng Xiao!
Sheng Xiao was the crown prince of Huang Yao. He had to take over his father to become the chairman of the diamond business. This meant he had no right when it came to choosing his partner.
So, he had to confirm their relationship.
It would be great if he had got it wrong. But if he guessed it right, he had to make his stance.
Soon, it was eleven o'clock. Mu Qiqi went out of the mansion and got into Sheng Xiao's car and the couple drove away. Lu Wenhua wanted to follow them but he was afraid that Sheng Xiao would find out. So, he just kept a distance from them.
If he wanted to tell Su Zipei about this, he must have proof that Mu Qiqi was caught red-handed. But he did not want to give her a shock.
So he wanted to think carefully on how to handle this matter first.
After Sheng Xiao left, Lu Wenhua followed suit. But Lu Wenhua was discovered by the security guard whom Sheng Xiao arranged to safeguard the villa. So the guard immediately informed Sheng Xiao about him. "Young Master Sheng, Mr. Lu is following you."
After Sheng Xiao got the message, he stopped his car at the roadside.
Then, not long after, Lu Wenhua's car passed by theirs.
Mu Qiqi did not get what Sheng Xiao was doing. So she asked, "What's wrong?"
"Lu Wenhua knows that you are in my car," Sheng Xiao replied with his eyes looking down. Then he asked Mu Qiqi, "So do you want to admit it or not?"
Sheng Xiao did not care about people knowing of their relationship. But he knew Mu Qiqi cared about it. He cared for her feelings. So, he would do what she wanted. If she did not want Lu Wenhua to know, he would make sure Lu Wenhua thought that it was just a misunderstanding.
"Xiaoxiao, do you think Uncle Lu will tell my aunt?"
"Lu Wenhua is a cautious man. He will not tell your aunt until he is sure about it," Sheng Xiao said while starting the engine again.
"Then, what will happen if he knows?"
Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao with a serious face. "I am starting university soon and I am an adult. My privacy and personal life should be protected."
Mu Qiqi looked calmer as compared to before.
"I am afraid he would not think the same." Sheng Xiao gave a sly smile. "Who am I and what am I? Oh well, don't bother. And you don't have to care about it.
"
"Why?"
"Because he will come to me first." Sheng Xiao's answer was firm. Then, he drove into their new home.
Mu Qiqi suddenly thought of the shares promised by the Mu family, so she asked, "Can I give the shares to my aunt right away when I get them?"
"Are you sure you don't want to leave a little bit for yourself?"
Mu Qiqi shook her head.
"I am with you. Why do I need the shares?"
She did not want to get involved with the Mu family anymore because one day, when their relationship came to surface, she could at least deny having any relationship with the Mu family.
Sheng Xiao knew what she was thinking and pinched her cheek. "I told you that you do not have to be considerate of me. You can just get anything you want."
"I want you," Mu Qiqi answered frankly. But her sincerity was deliberately misinterpreted by Sheng Xiao.
