Grandpa Shen remained quiet. At that moment, a white car drove into the parking lot in the Shen family. The others turned their attention to the car and realized that it was Shen Jianchuan. He returned to the Shen family under a nurse’s company.
Grandpa Shen’s hands started to tremble when he saw that. “Why did you come home?”
“I’m worried that you might make it more difficult for Xiao Qi.” Shen Jianchuan said to Grandpa Shen.
“Even you…”
“Dad, you could accept it when I was rebellious before. Why can’t you do the same now when it’s my daughter?” Shen Jianchuan asked Grandpa Shen. “Don’t you think that she resembles me just because she’s like this?”
“You’re a man but she’s only a girl. Do you know that she’s only eighteen years old and she’s staying with…What will society say about her? Her reputation will certainly be ruined whether she marries Sheng Xiao or not.” Grandpa Shen pointed at Mu Qiqi and said loudly.
“Did I do it for my own sake? I’m quite old now. Why do I care about those things?
“I just don’t want her to lead a miserable life like you.”
Grandpa Shen’s eyes became teary when he said that.
“Dad…I’m sure you’re aware of Sheng Xiao’s capabilities. He saved her before. He even takes good care of her. Now, he wants to marry Qiqi. Clearly, he loves your granddaughter deeply. No one else could take care of your granddaughter so good like him. He even adores her completely.
“What about reputation? You lead your own life for your own sake. Why do you need to care about what others say? Who will remember them as time goes by?” Shen Jianchuan held Grandpa Shen’s hand and said.
“You’re on their side…”
“What we have to do now is try to accept the fact as it has happened. They love each other deeply. They won’t break up no matter what you say to them. Do you still remember how I was before? If they are not meant for each other, they will break up sooner or later and you don’t have to do anything about it.
“Then, Qiqi could take responsibility for herself even though her reputation is ruined since she’ll be an adult by then.
“Regarding the Shen family…”
“I’m an honest man. I lead my life properly.” Grandpa Shen sneered.
Shen Jianchuan laughed when he heard that. “If that’s the case, why do you still want to stop them from doing what they want?”
An uncle, a niece…
Grandpa Shen was quite upset when he thought about those words. He could not bring himself to accept it. But, he was afraid that he might lose Mu Qiqi and Shen Jianchuan at the end. It happened before. He had pushed his son too hard so that he had fallen into a trap set up by Rong Junhan. He even spent most of his life lying in bed.
Now, did he want to hurt his granddaughter?
“I’ll pretend that nothing has happened. Don’t you ever show off your relationship in front of me. Moreover, you need to take responsibility for yourselves no matter what happens in the future.”
After that, Grandpa Shen turned around and returned to his room.
He could not get over that incident no matter what.
On the other hand, Mu Qiqi went over to Shen Jianchuan and squatted down beside him. “Why did you leave the hospital?”
“It’s because your grandpa always listens to me.” Shen Jianchuan said to his daughter.
Mu Qiqi burst into laughter. But, it was mixed with tears. “Dad…”
“Silly daughter. You’ve had a hard time when you were young. I didn’t get to take good care of you before. Now, I’ll help you no matter what kind of happiness you yearn for. Just let me deal with your grandpa. You can just…go where Sheng Xiao is.”
Sheng Xiao looked at the father and daughter. Then, he walked toward Shen Jianchuan and said proudly, “I’ll admit that I’m still the one who adores her the most.”
“It’s easy if you want to be approved here. But, what about the Sheng family?” Shen Jianchuan gave Sheng Xiao a meaningful look. “My daughter will not be bullied here in the Shen family. But, what if she is humiliated in the Sheng family? Then, I’ll never allow her to be with you again.”
“I’ll accept your challenge. We’ll see whether she will be happier in the Sheng family than she is in the Shen family.”
Shen Jianchuan said nothing more. He just wanted to put Mu Qiqi’s hand in Sheng Xiao’s grasp. But, he still could not move at the time being.
Sheng Xiao understood him. He took Mu Qiqi’s hand from him. “Let’s go…”
“Go home now. I’ll try to talk some sense into your grandpa tonight.
“Regarding the Sheng family, you need to give us your answer as to how the arrangement will be as soon as possible. I can’t let my daughter stay with you without a proper status.”
Sheng Xiao made no reply. But, he took his steps firmly. He led Mu Qiqi away from her father. It was the kind of promise between men, taking his daughter away.
That night, the entire Shen family had mixed feelings.
Although Grandpa Shen did not approve of their relationship, he did not raise any objections either.
After that, Shen Jianchuan entered Grandpa Shen’s study. Grandpa Shen was still angry and he was reluctant to face his son.
“It’s been many years now since I entered your study.”
Grandpa Shen could not be angry anymore when he heard what his son had said. He took a deep breath. “Do you blame me?”
Shen Jianchuan shook his head. “I don’t blame you for what happened to me. But, I might blame you if you continue to stand between Qiqi and Sheng Xiao.”
‘You…”
“They aren’t related by blood. Moreover, Qiqi has grown up now. Why can’t she be with Sheng Xiao? Is it over the line when my daughter is with the most powerful man? Is she claiming ties with a man of a higher social position? Why can’t my daughter be with the Crown Prince?”
“Men nowadays are disloyal, especially those men who share the same background as Sheng Xiao. I’m afraid that he might be playing with her feelings. Then, what will happen to Qiqi?”
“What do you mean? Qiqi is the young lady of the Shen family. She can enjoy the beauty of love when she’s with Sheng Xiao. If they break up one day, she still belongs to the Shen family and she’s still my daughter. Although I’m disabled now, I can still help her lead her life with dignity. Do you believe that?”
Gradually, Grandpa Shen started to be persuaded by his son. What to do now given that it has already happened?
“Let’s see how the Sheng family reacts first.”
“Do you have to think about it?” Shen Jianchuan said as he knew very well that the Sheng family would never give their approval. But, it was not something which they could resolve. They could only see how Sheng Xiao reacted and from then they would know whether he loved Qiqi truly. “Based on Sheng Xiao’s capabilities, Qiqi will never be bullied no matter where she goes as long as he truly loves her.”
“But, the Sheng family is no ordinary family!” Grandpa Shen sneered softly. “Moreover, there are a lot of people in the Sheng family. There are even a lot of people who are yearning to be the Crown Prince’s wife. Do you think that they will let Xiao Qi marry him?”
“Isn’t your granddaughter a smart girl?”

At that moment, Sheng Xiao was going home with Mu Qiqi. But, Mu Qiqi was shocked by what Sheng Xiao said to her. “Marry? Are you serious?”
“Why? Don’t you want to marry me?” Sheng Xiao smiled with a look of utmost adoration toward his little one.
“I’m not old enough to register for marriage…”
“But, I plan to reveal your identity…”
