Is it a big project?

They are a mysterious family, explained Sheng Xiao. Arent you having a symposium early in the morning? You should wash up and sleep already.

Mu Qiqi looked at her man taking off his clothes. She smiled. How do you know about my schedule?

I know more than what you think.

Yeah. But are you really letting me sleep so early? Mu Qiqi stared at his chest.

I know you are tired after traveling. I shall let you go this time. Sheng Xiao patted Mu Qiqis butt. Go.

How many days is your stay?

You seem to want me to leave. Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Mu Qiqi ignored him and went into the bathroom. But when she was at the door, she beckoned Sheng Xiao over with her finger. Are you really not joining me?

This little one was so seductive!

That night, it was raining in Jianchuan as well. They thought that Gu Ziling would not come back to Sheng Mansion because of the bad weather. She might stay a bit longer in Gu Mansion. However, after dinner, Gu Ziling drove back to Sheng Mansion. She still refused to look at Sheng Kai.

Is your father getting better? asked Grandpa Sheng.

He is getting better now. He even wants to go back to work. Gu Ziling answered with a smile.

Great. Later, I will let the butler send your father some high-quality herbs. I hope he will get well soon.

Thank you, Grandpa. Then, Gu Ziling looked at Sheng Kai who was still sitting at the dining table. Arent you coming?

Sheng Kai was stunned. He did not expect that Gu Ziling would speak to him.

Well then, Grandpa, we will go back to our room. Sheng Kai stood up and went into his room with Gu Ziling.

Third Brother and Hu Ran exchanged glances. They didnt think the conflict between the two would be this simple, because the secretary was fired. And according to the security guard on duty that night, the secretary was half-naked when she left Huang Yao.

With this, it was evident that Sheng Kai had an affair with the secretary. And how could Gu Ziling, a proud woman, accept such betrayal?

Sometimes, there are things that ought to be discussed behind closed doors.

Sure enough, once they were in the room, Gu Ziling asked, Later, I can cover up for you when you want to leave to meet your secretary. From today onward, we will still be a loving couple beyond this door. But once we are back into this room, I hope that you will not touch me.

Sheng Kai grabbed Gu Ziling once he heard that. Do you think you are that pure? In the past six months, you slept with me but your heart was longing for Eighth Brother. You want to become the mistress of Zhongteng so much, dont you?

I told you I like a strong man. It is only natural for me to yearn for Sheng Xiao. Besides, our relationship is a contract in the beginning. Since we have put everything on the table, I dont think there is any need for us to maintain a harmonious relationship. You can carry on your relationship with the secretary and let her carry your child. You can bring your child back and I will raise the child as my own.

Gu Ziling, do you know what you are saying?

Then let me ask you. Have you done it with her?

Sheng Kai couldnt answer when Gu Ziling asked him directly. But his silence was already an answer to Gu Ziling.

Its all set then. Im obsessed with hygiene.

Sheng Kai could not bear the tension in the room. He slammed the door and left.

Coincidentally, Grandpa Sheng saw him.

Seeing Sheng Kai leave in anger, Grandpa Sheng asked the butler to tell Gu Ziling to go to the study room.

Ziling, can you stop fighting with Second Brother?

Grandpa, he had a relationship with the secretary. How can I stop fighting? Gu Ziling asked in return.

How can you conceive a child when you keep on doing this?

Gu Ziling laughed sarcastically when she heard what he said. Grandpa, dont hope for a child anymore. Sheng Kai is infertile.

Grandpa Sheng frowned. What do you mean?

Dont you think it is weird that I dont get pregnant after we have been married for half a year? So, I conducted a test on Sheng Kai in secret. He is sick.

Is this real?

I still have the medical report, said Gu Ziling. Grandpa, what do you want me to count on? He cant even give me a child. And he even has an affair with the secretary. Anyone would be sad if she was in my position.

Grandpa Sheng was silent.

After a while, he asked, Does he know about it?

Ive kept it a secret. He should not know.

Go back and rest.

This was the conversation between Grandpa Sheng and Gu Ziling that night.

Apparently, Second Brother had a condition in that aspect. No wonder they hadnt had a child until now.

How could the successor of Huang Yao not be able to have a child? If the news were spread, it would be a great shame for, not just Sheng Kai, but the whole family. Grandpa Sheng had to find a way to help Second Brother get a child.

On the other hand, Hu Ran came back to Sheng Bowens room from the living room. Second Brother has gone to the office. He might have quarreled with that woman just now.

As expected. Sheng Bowen was sitting at his desk. The more trouble Second Sister-in-law makes, the more tormented Second Brother will be in Huang Yao. He got distracted in the meetings in these few days. The employees have started complaining. And now with the affair with the secretary, his reputation in Huang Yao is way worse than Eighth Brothers when he was in Huang Yao.

It seems like we dont even have to take action and they will fall on their own.

Hu Ran shook her head uncomfortably.

When there is a big mess in Tiffany & Co., Second Brother would be doomed for real. He is the one who dug his own grave. Sheng Bowen shut down his computer and went to the sofa, carrying his blanket. I shall sleep now. I have to go to the office early in the morning.

Hu Ran looked at him. She hesitated, but then she nodded. Okay.

She was shy to ask him to sleep on the bed.

Gu Ziling was in her room in confusion. Although she was not sure if it was a good thing to tell Grandpa Sheng the truth now or not, she would not be chased out from the family for now. Because it was Sheng Kais dark secret. If she exposed it when she got annoyed, the whole Sheng family would be put to shame.

In fact, apart from this reason, she had another plan. She wanted to let Grandpa Sheng decide on how to deal with the matter.

Once she got someone to back her up, she would be able to defend herself when Sheng Kai caused trouble.

Of course, she would not know how unexpected the solution Grandpa Sheng would come out with.

The next morning, in the Lu Mansion.

It was the second day Lu Qianqian took office. As promised, she went for the meetings in Lu Holdings. Meanwhile, Mama Lu brought along gifts to visit Grandpa Lin again.

Would he still act willfully after so much had happened?

Mama Lu let someone send the gifts into Grandpa Lins ward. But still, he refused to accept them.

But this time, he left Mama Lu a message. You dont have to send me gifts. I am waiting for Lin Muan to regret it.
