These past few days have been exhausting, and Shen Muqing jumped onto the bed and exclaimed: "The bed is still the most comfortable."
After a while, Shen Muqing didn't forget about Lin Xi and called her again. This time, she answered very quickly.
The voice on the other end was hoarse and weak, "Qingqing."
"Wait, Qiqi, don't tell me you've been with Yi Ci these past few days?"
How did you know?
"Where are you now?" Shen Muqing sighed. It was all fate.
"I'm at his house."
Lin Xi's voice was muffled, sounding weak and listless, "Qingqing, how have you been these past few days?"
"Me? Don't even mention it."
The two sisters' situations were not just different, they were practically identical; the phone call lasted for more than two hours.
In the end, Shen Muqing regretted her actions, saying, "Qiqi, lust is a double-edged sword. If I had known, I should have listened to you and stayed at home."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have gone for the interview at this company. It's not like I absolutely had to go to this one."
"I'm so miserable, Qiqi."
"I'm pretty miserable too."
The company Lin Xi interviewed with turned out to be Yi Ci, which was something she hadn't expected.
"Qiqi, what do you plan to do?"
After thinking for a while, the person on the other end finally spoke, "I don't know Qingqing."
"What did Yi Ci say?"
He said he would take me to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate tomorrow.
"What!!"
Startled, Shen Muqing jumped out of bed. Had things progressed this quickly? "You agreed?"
"No, he said he would give me three days to think about it."
"Didn't he have a crush on someone back in high school? Why is he still bothering you?"
Shen Muqing spoke righteously, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Did he say he wanted you to sign some kind of prenuptial agreement if he wanted to marry you?"
He said the "white moonlight" was a lie, just rumors spread by others. He didn't make me sign any agreement.
"Sigh, Qiqi, why don't you just go for him? He's handsome and rich, so we won't lose out."
Moreover, according to Shen Muqing's observation, Yi Ci's character is quite good. He didn't flirt with other women while in school, so he should be doing well now.
"And Qingqing, what about you? You're only talking about me, what are your plans?"
"Me? I'll just take it one step at a time. Who cares, let's have fun first."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Muqing lay on the bed again, her eyes closed in deep thought. As she was thinking, she suddenly felt something was wrong and opened her eyes abruptly.
The ceiling looked strange, indescribably special, but it was definitely not an ordinary ceiling.
For a month, Shen Muqing stayed at Xie Siyan's house, eating and drinking to her heart's content. She had a great time, but it was a bit tiring for her back.
That day, at the dinner table, Shen Muqing looked at Xie Siyan ingratiatingly and said, "I want to go out today. I haven't seen Qiqi in a long time."
"Okay, I'll pick you up at six tonight." Xie Siyan put a piece of beef on her plate.
"oh."
Whose curfew is 6 PM? Or is it 6 PM?
"You're not allowed to go to any disreputable places, understand?"
"Okay." Shen Muqing sensibly agreed to him. Anyway, she would just agree first and see what happened later. Once she was out there, who could control her, the Great King Shen?
When are you going?
"I don't need you to take me. Aren't you busy with work?" Shen Muqing raised her hand to refuse.
"No rush, I'll take you."
"All right."
Shen Muqing had no choice but to agree. If she didn't go along with Xie Siyan, who knew what crazy things he might do? She was afraid that she would be the one who got hurt in the end.
Xie Siyan drove Shen Muqing to the mall. When they met, Shen Muqing unbuckled her seatbelt to get out, but the car door wouldn't open.
"Xie Siyan, is your car broken? Why can't I open it?"
"Qingqing, have you forgotten something?"
Shen Muqing touched her bag and looked at her seat. "No, I didn't forget anything."
The man in the car was unhappy; his face was radiating coldness, and he seemed aggrieved.
"I really haven't forgotten anything."
Seeing the man's displeasure deepen, Shen Muqing stopped teasing him and laughed out loud, "I've never seen anyone as clingy as you."
Then she leaned over and gently bit his lips. "Is it okay now? Thank you, you clingy thing."
"Um"
Xie Siyan pulled her close, and the two exchanged breaths before letting her go.
Shen Muqing was about to get out of the car when she called out, "Qingqing, wait a minute."
"What's wrong now?"
"Use my card to buy things." Xie Siyan handed her a black card between his fingers with a cool gesture.
Shen Muqing glanced at it, "Is there a quota available?"
"No, feel free to swipe."
"Thank you..." Shen Muqing took it, then leaned close to his ear and breathed, "My dear boyfriend."
Now, Xie Siyan's eyes were unfathomable, and his voice was low.
"If Qingqing doesn't leave now, you might not be able to leave at all."
"Bye-Bye."
Shen Muqing quickly got out of the car; if she lingered any longer, she probably wouldn't be able to leave.
She ran into a coffee shop and sat there waiting for Lin Xi. Fortunately, she arrived soon enough.
"Qiqi, did you really get your marriage certificate?"
Before Lin Xi could even sit down, Shen Muqing took her hand. This was their first meeting since they got their marriage certificate.
"Um."
"Wow, sis, you've already gotten to the point without even dating. Is having a baby next?"
Shen Muqing gave her a thumbs up; that was incredibly swift.
"Qingqing"
"What's wrong?" Shen Muqing had a bad feeling when she saw Lin Xi's hesitant expression.
"You're going to be an aunt! Aren't you happy? Aren't you surprised?"
"Clang!" The metal spoon fell onto the coffee cup, making a jarring sound.
Shen Muqing spoke seriously: "Qiqi, I hope this is a joke."
"Qingqing, I'm sorry." Lin Xi leaned on Shen Muqing's shoulder. She was also shocked when she first heard the news, but it had already happened. She was all alone in this world. When she found out she was pregnant, she was still a little happy.
"No, why are you apologizing to me? I'm just worried you'll get taken advantage of."
"Qingqing, I want to keep this child."
Lin Xi already exuded a maternal glow, her hand gently stroking her belly.
"Qiqi, as long as you're happy, what else can I say?" Shen Muqing looked at her belly, finding it hard to believe that a small life was growing under that flat stomach. When she touched it, even though the little life hadn't taken shape yet, Shen Muqing felt someone kicking her.
"Come on, Qiqi, as his aunt, I'm going to give him a gift. I'll take you shopping."
"good."
On the third floor of the mall, Shen Muqing led Lin Xi through various maternity and baby specialty stores, saying, "Let me see which one is cute."
Lin Xi, a new mother, was very happy selecting these items, looking at this and that from time to time.
"Qingqing, look, isn't this pretty?"
"purchase!"
What about this one?
"purchase!"
It was almost six o'clock, and Shen Muqing was still reluctant to leave. It was such a wonderful shopping experience. Just thinking about how these things would be worn by the little one in her belly nine months later made Shen Muqing smile uncontrollably.
She wanted to buy some more, but Lin Xi stopped her, saying, "That's enough, Qingqing, we won't be able to wear all of these."
"All right."
Shen Muqing then stopped. Children's things are so cute, so small, they warm your heart.
"Qiqi, I have to go back now. See you next time."
She didn't want to go back yet, and said to Lin Xi with great reluctance, "Xi Xi, I don't want to be separated from you."
"Qingqing, you haven't changed at all, just like before."
Lin Xi smiled and hugged her, "It's not like we can't see each other. You can call me anytime you want to see me."
"Um."
In truth, Shen Muqing felt quite emotional. The female lead, whom he had spent so much time with, had already settled down, started a family, and even had her own child. He suddenly wished that every female lead in every world could be so happy and fulfilled.
"I'm just marveling at how fast time flies."
"Silly Qingqing."
Shen Muqing nestled in her arms, deeply inhaling the faint plum blossom scent emanating from her. "Qiqi, I really hope you can always be this happy and joyful."
"I will, and you will too. We can always be happy."
"good!"
As the time was approaching, Shen Muqing and Lin Xi came out to wait for the car, but they didn't expect Yi Ci to arrive early.
He was driving a low-key Bentley, and Song Gufeng was following behind him. Both of them were different from when they were in high school; they had matured a lot.
"Shen Muqing! Long time no see."
Song Gufeng remained as carefree as ever, saying, "Shen Muqing, you're so disloyal! You went abroad with Lin Xi without a word, and I was heartbroken for so long because of it."
"I'm sorry, Song Gufeng was in a bit of a rush at the time, and I didn't have time to tell you."
Yi Ci parked the car and got out, saying, "Long time no see."
This was clearly directed at Shen Muqing, who responded with a smile: "Long time no see."
"Qiqi, are you feeling unwell today?" Yi Ci walked to Lin Qi's side, took her hand, and said. In high school, he was arrogant and fierce, but now he exuded the charm of a husband, gentle and considerate.
It turns out that time really can change a person; Yi Ci and Xie Siyan are completely different from their former personalities.
No, I'm very happy today.
"As long as you're happy."
The two were newlyweds, their relationship was going well, and Song Gufeng leaned closer to Shen Muqing, "Are you still single?"
"I'm afraid half a person might scare you," Shen Muqing said quietly.
"No, I mean, are you still single?"
"It shouldn't be."
Song Gufeng blushed, "What do you mean by 'should'?"
"Shen Muqing, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time. Actually, I've wanted to since high school..."
Another car arrived, a Maybach that was both flamboyant and understated. Xie Siyan got out of the car right on time.
"Xie Siyan! Over here."
Shen Muqing saw his car and quickly waved for him to come over, then turned to ask Song Gufeng:
"What did you just say?"
Song Gufeng concealed the bitterness in his eyes well, maintaining his nonchalant tone.
“I said if no one comes to pick you up, I'll take you home.”
"No need, my people are here to pick me up."
Xie Siyan must have just gotten off work, as he nodded to Yi Ci, Lin Xi, and the others.
Yi Ci nodded in agreement, "Thank you, President."
"Mr. Yi."
The two companies have business dealings, so it was inevitable that they would greet each other.
After exchanging pleasantries, they naturally took their wives home.
Song Gufeng stood alone, his eyes filled with undisguised disappointment as he looked at Shen Muqing. He believed that he would have a chance to compete with anyone else, but it was Xie Siyan, and he had no chance of winning at all.
Because he could tell from high school that Shen Muqing and Xie Siyan liked each other, but they just didn't confess their feelings.
He smiled helplessly; love is truly a complicated thing.
In the car, Shen Muqing excitedly shared the news of Lin Xi's pregnancy with Xie Siyan.
"Xie Siyan, do you know? I'm going to be an aunt."
"So happy?"
Xie Siyan focused on driving, but his tone was indulgent.
"Of course! I used your card to buy a lot of things for my future nephew this afternoon."
"Even if you buy the whole mall, I won't say anything."
"Really? You have that much money in your account?"
Shen Muqing held his thin black card and examined it closely. Could there be billions in this unremarkable card?
"Give it a try." Xie Siyan gripped the steering wheel, a smile playing on his lips.
"I'll try again next time. What if it doesn't load?"
"If I can't get it, then I'll have to pay off my debt with my body."
Something popped into Shen Muqing's mind, and she chuckled, "Then I'll pawn you at the bar, and you can sell yourself to earn money for me to spend."
"Your looks and figure must be top-notch there."
Just then, the car came to a smooth stop in the garage. Xie Siyan's expression was unreadable. He unbuckled his seatbelt and then unbuckled Shen Muqing's seatbelt before getting out of the car.
"Xie Siyan, you're not so petty as to get angry, are you?"
Shen Muqing jogged to catch up with him. Xie Siyan's face was expressionless, and he looked angry.
"No way, are you really that bad at this?"
All the way to the front door, Xie Siyan opened it and stood there waiting for Shen Muqing. As soon as Shen Muqing entered, a fierce and breathtaking kiss began.
Xie Siyan gripped Shen Muqing's neck tightly, forcing her to look up. "Qingqing knows so much?"
"Then teach me how the male models in the bar teach you."
Clothes lay scattered on the floor, one piece at a time. "Is this how it is?"
"Still like this?"
Or is it like this?
The two of them eventually made their way into the golden cage. Shen Muqing was thrown onto the bed, and Xie Siyan immediately covered her up, silencing her before she could answer.
"Does my sister like it?"
"Um?"
"Answer me?"
Shen Muqing didn't even have time to speak before he was silenced again.
"It seems my sister isn't satisfied, so I'll just have to work even harder."
Xie Siyan, that dog, Shen Muqing cursed him in her heart.
Xie Siyan seemed to sense something, and kept smiling faintly. He took out a remote control from somewhere and made a "beep" sound.
Something opened, and Shen Muqing saw a huge mirror appear on the ceiling, reflecting the people and objects on the bed.
"Sister, do you like this gift?"
......
Three months later, Lin Xi and Yi Ci held their wedding, renting an entire island and inviting only close friends.
Shen's mother and father also returned from abroad. When Yi Ci took Lin Xi's hand from Shen's mother, Shen's mother couldn't help but shed tears. After seven years of getting along, she had long regarded Lin Xi as her own daughter.
Shen Muqing sat next to Xie Siyan, her eyes red as she looked at the newlyweds on the stage. As long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.
The man beside her noticed her emotions and asked, "Qingqing, when are we getting married?"
"It depends on your performance."
In the end, Shen Muqing became an aunt as she wished, and Lin Xi gave birth to a little princess who was just as beautiful and lovely as her. Yi Ci was overjoyed and cried outside the delivery room. Holding his daughter, his hands trembled and he dared not exert any force, for fear of hurting his daughter in his arms.
"Mission successfully completed. Please prepare to proceed to the next world."
