Mu Qiqi stayed with the Shen family until ten in the morning. Then, she left the Shen family with some excuses. She asked Uncle Lin to send her to the hotel. At that moment, both Sheng Xiao and Lin Muan had reached the private room.

Sheng Xiao waved at her lazily as she entered the private room. Come here

On the other hand, Lin Muan smiled. Its just like what Ive thought.

Mu Qiqi took her seat beside Sheng Xiao generously. Then, she looked at Lin Muan suspiciously.

Lin Muan smiled before giving his explanation. Its for the sake of what I found during the birthday party. Actually, I wanted to meet Miss Qiqi beforehand but I felt that it might be inappropriate. So, I called the Crown Prince. I never thought that I would be able to discover his feelings for you during the party. So, I wanted to meet the two of you to prove my thoughts.

So? Sheng Xiao asked him dangerously.

I have no other intentions just that I think this is rather interesting. Its quite interesting to see the two of you as a couple.

It might not be a good thing if you know too much.

What are you talking about, Crown Prince? If you dont want me to know about it, surely youll have a thousand ways to do so. Since youre so frank with me, clearly you believe in me. Lin Muan drank his tea and appeared relaxed. So, dont worry. I also want to know whether youll be able to get married to each other at last. Just tell me if you need me to do anything for you

Do you think that youre an indispensable friend?

Of course youre not lacking friends, Crown Prince. But, surely Miss Qiqi needs a friend like me. Then, he smoothed his clothes and said to them. Lets talk about the report of the investigation yesterday. The medicine on the chair is

Just skip that. I know what it is. Mu Qiqi said frankly.

Fine. According to the CCTV footage, there were a few people who touched the chair. So, we met them and interrogated them. But, we got nothing. However, I realized one thing. It didnt escape my supervision. There was a person who did not belong there who had touched that chair too. So, I used some tricks and interrogated him. Finally, I was able to force out an explanation from him. He claimed that Major General Zhongs son asked him to do so.

Didnt Miss Qiqi have some kind of argument with the Zhong family yesterdays night?

Was it true? Who the perpetrator was? Clearly, Sheng Xiao did not believe in the authenticity of the result.

Lin Muan shrugged his shoulders. He seemed helpless too. I couldnt find any other evidence. But, Miss Qiqi became quite famous after that incident last night. Now, everyone knows how outstanding the girl from the Shen family is!

You came just criticize sneakily! Mu Qiqi glared at him.

Lin Muan raised his hands in surrender while eating. I swear that thats not what I meant. By the way, is there any other interesting lady like you around you? Why dont you introduce her to me? I want to fall in love too when I see the two of you like this

Mu Qiqi felt that Lin Muan was surely a man who had much experience with women. She would not be so daring as to introduce her friends to her if she had any.

It would be pushing her friends into the pit of hell.

But, she had not seen Qianqian for more than a few days now when they talked about friends. She was unsure whether Qianqian had recovered from what happened between her with Duan Shaoan.

She received Qianqians message when she was thinking about her. Qianqian asked her whether she was free that afternoon. Qianqian asked her whether she wanted to go shopping with her.

Mu Qiqi smiled and told Qianqian that she was having lunch at the hotel and indeed she was free that afternoon. Sometimes, best friends seem to be connected by telepathy. They could be thinking of the same thing at the same time.

Qianqian will come later. You head back to Huang Yao later on. Dont worry about me. Mu Qiqi whispered to Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao patted Mu Qiqis head with the kind of adoration which nobody else could understand, which greatly astonished Lin Muan.

Then, lets leave it that way. Ill go to the Shen family in the afternoon.

It was because he knew that the result he had gained from the investigation would not influence Sheng Xiaos own perception of that incident.

The three of them finished their lunch in a somewhat enjoyable way. Qianqian reached the hotel by then. Sheng Xiao had left and returned to Huang Yao. On the other hand, Lin Muan had left the hotel with Mu Qiqi, where they bumped into Lu Qianqian at the entrance of the hotel.

Lets go! I want to shop until I drop today! Qianqian opened the door of the car and allowed Mu Qiqi to take the shotgun seat. The two of them did not greet Lin Muan at all. They left in front of him just like that.

Li Muan had seen Lu Qianqian too. As he knew all sorts of gossip in Jianchuan, he definitely knew who Lu Qianqian was.

The miscarriage incident was rather infamous a while back. He had realized that Qianqian was just a little girl when he met her that day. Birds of a feather sure flock together. She was just as brave as Mu Qiqi. They could do things which were against the norm though he did not think that it was a good thing.

***

Why did you want to leave in a rush just now? On their way to the shopping mall, Lu Qianqian asked Mu Qiqi. Who was that man at the entrance just now? Did you abandon the Crown Prince?

Hes the young master from the Lin family. Mu Qiqi said simply. Moreover, Xiaoxiao was there with me tooI just feel that Lin Muan is surely a man who has much experience with women. So, I want to protect you subconsciously for fear that you might be harmed

Just look at my reputation now. Who would come after me? Lu Qianqian knew about the truth clearly. But, it sounded rather sad when she said that.

Havent you let go of that incident?

How could that incident be forgotten so soon? But, it did not stop Lu Qianqian from starting all over again.

They had all kinds of things to tell each other whenever they met. So, they indulged themselves in shopping the entire afternoon

Mu Qiqi had caused quite an uproar at the birthday party in the Lin family. So, Mama Sheng became rather curious toward her. That afternoon, she met Jing Yun and asked him to arrange a meeting between her and Mu Qiqi. It was because she heard that Sheng Xiao was concerned about that child too.

Jing Yun knew that he could not push it off anymore. So, he informed Sheng Xiao about it.

But, Sheng Xiao was not worried at all. He nodded his head calmly. Go ahead and arrange the meeting for her if she wants to meet Qiqi

Young Master, arent you worried at all?

About what? Sheng Xiao retorted to Jing Yun.

Worry that Miss Qiqi might expose herself or Madam might dislike her.

Well still be together whether she likes Qier or not. So, the result is not important. Regarding that other thing, do you think that Xiao Qi could not handle that?

Sheng Xiao did not worry about how Mu Qiqi might perform in front of his mother.

Since Sheng Xiao had said like that, Jing Yun did not have to worry anymore. He just needed to do his job and he could bother about other things.

But, it would be proper if they tell the Shen family about this. They could not ask Mu Qiqi to meet Mama Sheng without their knowledge as it would be quite rude.

So, Jing Yun asked Sheng Xiao whether they needed to inform the Shen family about this.

Sheng Xiao looked at him and retorted, What do you think?

Then, Ill inform Old Mr. Shen about this. Then, Ill arrange for the date, time and venue to give ample time for Miss Qiqi to prepare. We could also let her relax slightly.

After all, Sheng Xiao had promised his mother that she would be able to meet her future daughter-in-law after three months. He could fulfill his promise this way but she would be unaware of it.

It was better to let the Shen family know about it too. But, some people might not be at ease
