Meanwhile, after their embarrassment at the parent-teacher conference, Mu Tangxue and Mama Mu kept quiet about things. None of them were brave enough to tell Papa Mu since Mu Tangxue’s grades were nothing to brag about and Mama Mu was humiliated in the meeting.
When Papa Mu asked, Mu Tangxue told him that the teacher did not actually announce which student would be receiving the recommendation. Moreover, after having eavesdropped on Mu Qiqi when she refused the recommendation, Mu Tangxue dropped hints to her father that he could help her secure it.
Even if Mu Tangxue’s grades were not particularly outstanding, her many participation awards in various competitions meant that it would not be too difficult for her to get the recommendation as long as the teacher would not play favorites. Naturally, one of the conditions for that was for Papa Mu to speak to the school.
Now, he listened to her, leisurely sipping his coffee and nodding. “I promised to attend the parent-teacher conference, but I had missed it because of work.”
“Of course I can help you with the recommendation, my good daughter. You’re the pride of the Mu family.”
Papa Mu agreed to her request, even calling his secretary so that he would definitely secure the recommendation.
Mu Tangxue quietly celebrated. “Thank you, daddy.”
Since everyone really expected that Mu Qiqi would claim the recommendation, Mu Tangxue believed that it would be taking away something that belonged to her twins if she got it.
No one would know that Mu Qiqi had refused the recommendation, and only then would she repulse others by her high-and-mighty attitude.

On the other hand, Su Zipei sneaked into Mu Qiqi’s room after her niece left. She looked through the places where girls would often hide their things, but found nothing suspicious.
However, she did find the blue diamond hairpin and Christmas mitten on Mu Qiqi’s desk, which were not especially kept from her. Naturally, she did not remember seeing those things before.
Could those be the gifts from that man?
Su Zipei did not touch them and simply left the room so that Mu Qiqi wouldn’t notice.
However, Mu Qiqi was well aware that Su Zipei would look through her room if Su Zipei really did find her leaving the house last night. Still, she chose to keep her silence, since Sheng Xiao had prepared a solution for her.
Even so, she was not going to slip out and meet him over the next few days.

In school, there were plenty of other students who were still discussing and vying for the recommendation. Nonetheless, Mu Qiqi had indeed declined it.
Papa Mu’s secretary hence made his third personal visit to Eaton, indicating that the school should fairly judge Mu Tangxue’s qualifications for the recommendation.
The class teacher did not like Mu Tangxue at all, but still fairly judged her based on her personal information.
She certainly had what it takes to secure the recommendation.
The Mu family only hoped that Eaton would not be biased against Mu Tangxue because of Mu Qiqi, since the school did try to interfere with Mu Tangxue’s entry.
That was how Papa Mu’s secretary put things to get the school to comply.
In the end, the school administration relented since the recommendation could only be cleared with assessment from the national department of education. That is why it wouldn’t matter that they recommended Mu Tangxue now.
Reluctantly, the teacher offered Mu Tangxue the recommendation, just as she placed even greater hopes in Mu Qiqi so that she would make her proud!
As such, the class teacher informed Mu Qiqi beforehand that Mu Tangxue was in the list of recommended students.
Nonetheless, Mu Qiqi was upset. However, she did refuse the recommendation and it wasn’t like she was unhappy to lose that place.
Moreover, she was dismayed because Su Zipei had found out that she was out of the house last night, and didn’t know if she could meet Xiaoxiao for the night.
In the evening after school was over, Mu Qiqi couldn’t find Old Lin’s car when she reached the front gates.
She wanted to call the chauffeur, only to have Sheng Xiao call her instead.
“The usual place. I’m waiting in my car.”
The ‘usual place’ referred to the spot where he and Mu Qiqi had previously staked out Mu Tangxue. Mu Qiqi quickly ran there and got into Sheng Xiao’s car when no one noticed.
“Xiaoxiao…where’s Uncle Lin?”
“I spoke to your aunt. We’ll be having dinner outside,” Sheng Xiao told her.
She was certainly delighted to see Sheng Xiao, since she thought that she would never meet him in nightly escapades again.
In fact, Su Zipei did ask him about the blue diamond hairpin when he spoke to her at the little mansion.
“I gave her that,” he explained, “so that she could wear it on the birthday party.”
Su Zipei tried to recall. Something like that did seem to have happened.
“Then I guess I’ve misunderstood,” Su Zipei mumbled. “Young Master Sheng, do you know about someone Mu Qiqi has ties to other than yourself?”
“No.” With that, he drove away from the little mansion and went to Eaton.
As he had thought, Su Zipei saw Mu Qiqi sneaking home.
Be that as it may, she wasn’t suspecting Sheng Xiao, even hoping that he would take her outside and avoid unusual characters.
“Where are we going to eat?” Mu Qiqi appeared very excited.
Sheng Xiao took her to the usual revolving restaurant, having reserved a private VIP room.
Mu Qiqi quickly sat beside him at once when they entered. “Hold me, Xiaoxiao…”
Sheng Xiao reached out and sat her over his thighs, and she promptly wrapped her hands tightly around him. “I’ve struggled through the day just to hug you and recharge.”
Sheng Xiao ignored her and simply started to eat.
“No, wait for me!” Mu Qiqi promptly said.
Sheng Xiao said nothing. He held her head and fed her mouth-to-mouth.
Mu Qiqi’s face was burning red, but she was enjoying that intimacy and sweetness with Sheng Xiao.
She really was getting addicted to it!
Then, Sheng Xiao lay her on the table and kissed her again until they need to catch their breaths.
He stroked her lips, saying with every intention to continue, “I wouldn’t be so merciful if you’re attending university.”
Mu Qiqi knew what he meant, and said, “Right now is fine too!”
“You really don’t know when to stop, little one!”
Sheng Xiao pulled her down by her thin waist and placed her beside him, even placing the prepared knife and fork in her hands. “Eat.”
