Chapter 328: But Jing Yun Was Suffering

Since Mu Qiqi was a thorn in Grandpa Sheng’s heart, what was in his mind right now was to remove that thorn at all cost.

Although he had no chance to do anything to Mu Qiqi now, he would eventually get the chance.

He would definitely let Sheng Xiao take over Huang Yao in the future, but Mu Qiqi was not an asset to Sheng Xiao.

How could she have the ability to take care of the Sheng family?

But Grandpa Sheng had learned his lesson, so he did not cause Mu Qiqi trouble in public.

Grandpa Sheng ordered his men to gather information about people in this country who are powerful and young ladies who were like Mu Qiqi. By then, he would use everything he had to make a deal with Sheng Xiao. If Sheng Xiao wanted to succeed Huang Yao and become the man with real power in the Sheng family, he would have to marry the young lady Grandpa Sheng chooses. Otherwise, Sheng Xiao would not get a single cent from Grandpa Sheng and he would be chased out of the family.

Of course, this was his last card.

To Grandpa Sheng, he thought that the future of Huang Yao depended on him. So, it was his responsibility to find a qualified backer for Huang Yao. For this reason, all romantic relationships were just child’s play. Was there any practical use in the end?

Nope.

So, he would fight with his life to prevent Mu Qiqi from marrying into the family, even if he were to break the bond with the Shen family.

…

Sheng Xiao had returned to work in Huang Yao. So, during her vacation, Mu Qiqi planned to apply for an internship to follow her tutors to go to the autopsy site to observe and learn.

However, the tutor would normally give such opportunities to the final year students who were doing their practicums. There was almost no place for a freshman like her.

Perhaps she was the young bride of the Sheng family, the tutor finally agreed to bring along Mu Qiqi to the field with the criminal investigation team. He thought that a rich young lady like Mu Qiqi would stop going after seeing the horrible crime scene once.

After Mu Qiqi got her application approved, she received a call from Lin Mu’an. “It’s Qianqian’s birthday tomorrow. I plan to throw her a private party. Will you and the crown prince come?”

“Are you planning on giving her a surprise?” Mu Qiqi asked.

“More or less.”

“Just tell me the time and the place.” Mu Qiqi raised her brows. Qianqian was a scatterbrain. Perhaps she had forgotten her birthday.

“No, you will be in charge of bringing her here tomorrow.”

Lin Mu’an was so casual when asking for help.

“Alright, I promise I will complete the task tomorrow.”

In fact, Qianqian only had these two friends. And more importantly, Lin Mu’an cared a lot about Qianqian. At least, he was better than her bestie.

She just didn’t know whether Lin Mu’an was just a very good friend or more than that to Qianqian.

But looking back, Mu Qiqi suddenly felt that the Lin family was an obstacle impossible to pass through. So, she was quite worried about Qianqian’s situation.

…

That night, Sheng Minglan had made some space in her room for Jing Yun to keep his belongings.

However, when she opened the door to greet Jing Yun, she found that Jing Yun only had a briefcase with him and the presents she had given him behind him.

Sheng Minglan felt a bit sad. “Most people will hire a moving company when they move. Unlike you, you have so few belongings.”

“I don’t have many important things. I only bring my clothes. These are all I have,” Jing Yun explained.

“You come so easily. It seems like you will be able to leave easily as well.”

Upon hearing Sheng Minglan voicing her insecurity, Jing Yun was stunned and pointed at the door. “Should I bring all my furniture in the apartment here?”

Sheng Minglan chuckled. “You don’t value them much, come in first.”

Jing Yun was very nervous. Because he had no idea what the couples who lived together did. Or whether they should sleep together.

Although he had loved Sheng Minglan for many years, he had never thought that his dream would come true one day. So, it was his first time experiencing this. That’s why he was anxious.

“Go and bring your belongings to the bedroom.”

“Miss…”

“Don’t call me that.”

“Minglan…” Jing Yun shouted, “I…”

“If you don’t sleep in the same room with me, then what’s the purpose of you moving in?” said Sheng Minglan to Jing Yun who was behind her. Actually, her face was as red as an apple already.

Jing Yun had never experienced an intimate relationship with a woman before, so he seemed a little passive.

He lifted his luggage and walked into the bedroom. Then, he put his clothes into the wardrobe.

Looking at the big bed, his mind went blank.

It seemed like he hadn’t prepared yet.

Soon, they finished their dinner. Jing Yun took the initiative to clear the table and do the dishes. As for Sheng Minglan, she went to the bedroom to take a shower. Because she knew that Jing Yun would feel awkward.

After Jing Yun finished cleaning, Sheng Minglan was already sitting in the bedroom, drying her hair.

When Jing Yun pushed open the door and entered the bedroom, she turned around and smiled at him. “You can take your shower first. I will do some work in the study.”

“Alright.” Jing Yun was relieved.

But, when he had put on his pajamas and went out of the bathroom, Sheng Minglan was already sitting on the bed. “Are you going to do anything before going to bed? If not, we shall sleep now.”

Jing Yun shook his head. His body was stiff. But he still made it to the bedside and sat down beside Sheng Minglan.

Sheng Minglan switched off the lights and lay down.

Jing Yun followed suit. But, he did not move after lying down.

In the dark, Sheng Minglan chuckled. “Am I going to devour you? You are so nervous.”

“I’m just…not used to it.”

Sheng Minglan slowly leaned on Jing Yun’s shoulder and smiled. “Do you feel better now?”

Jing Yun slanted his head and smelled the nice scent on Sheng Minglan’s body.

Sheng Minglan took the chance to lie on Jing Yun’s chest. Jing Yun’s heart was pounding hard, but he still draped his arms around Sheng Minglan’s waist.

Sheng Minglan was satisfied and closed her eyes. Perhaps it was because of Jing Yun, she felt that she slept very well that night.

But Jing Yun was suffering…

When Sheng Minglan was lying on his chest, he did not dare to move. So, he just let his arms numb. This was a sweet burden.

The next morning, when Jing Yun woke up, he found that he was hugging Sheng Minglan in his arms very naturally. Their bodies were very close to each other. Suddenly, Jing Yun felt his body was burning. And it was particularly noticeable at one part of his body.

Sheng Minglan could feel the change in his body temperature.

So, she opened her eyes and gazed into Jing Yun’s eyes…

How could Jing Yun resist such temptation?
