Chapter 117
Qi Shaobai, I've thought of what you can perform!
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Qi and Qi Shaobai turned to look at her simultaneously.
Qi Shaobai: What?
Could it be that he has talents even he himself doesn't know about?
A meaningful smile spread across Sheng Mumu's face as she narrowed her eyes and raised her eyebrows. "You can perform Tai Chi Sword with Granny."
"I can perform with Little One?" Madam Qi's eyes lit up as she abruptly turned to look at her great grandson. "Really?"
Qi Shaobai froze as if struck by acupuncture. "......"
He looked at Sheng Mumu, then at Granny Qi.
Although his mind screamed "no" ten thousand times, he couldn't utter half a "no".
He couldn't bear to see the hopeful expression on Granny's face dashed.
Sheng Mumu also looked at him expectantly, blinking as she awaited his response.
A smile slowly spread across Qi Shaobai's stiff, aloof face. He enunciated word for word:
"Excellent suggestion."
Granny giggled as she hurriedly took out her phone.
She eagerly showed off to her fellow seniors in the elderly university group chat that she would be performing with her great grandson.
Sheng Mumu briskly got up and swiftly asked an attendant to fetch a pen.
She quickly filled out the registration form and handed it back to Qi Shaobai.
Qi Shaobai: ......

Who could have thought that just a few minutes ago when he was worrying about what to perform, someone would help fill out the form for him just like that?
This stepmother is truly considerate...
In fact, Sheng Mumu had an ulterior motive for this suggestion.
According to the plot in the book, Granny didn't have more than a year left to live.
These past two days, she always felt like something was stuck in her heart. Every time she was with Granny, she would involuntarily think of this.
In addition to chatting and keeping Granny company, she had subtly brought up accompanying Granny to get a checkup several times, but was always gently rejected by Granny with a laugh.
She couldn't forcibly trick her into going, she could only wait for Qi Mo to return.
She knew Qi Mo had already made an appointment with the doctor beforehand.
When he returned, there would surely be a way to bring the stubborn old lady to get examined.
Granny currently looked quite hale and hearty.
But because she harbored this concern, Sheng Mumu inevitably felt sad.
What if... what if this wonderful Granny didn't escape that ordained disaster? What then?
Little Qi who was so close to Granny would surely be heartbroken.
Granny patted the back of her hand blissfully then suddenly narrowed her eyes as her tone changed.
"I'd be even happier if I could see you and Big One have a little baby."
As she finished speaking, Sheng Mumu's body froze imperceptibly. "......"
Oh my.
The nagging about having a baby from mother-in-law had just ended, now it was starting from granny.
What was worse was,
Granny's nagging was more powerful.
It was hard to refuse and even harder to fool her.
Granny sensitively noticed her hesitation. She suddenly grabbed her hand with a solemn expression, frowning as she asked:
"Mumu, is everything alright between you and Big One?"
Sheng Mumu blankly nodded. "Everything's fine."
Granny's worry didn't diminish but rather increased. "Then why after being married so long, you still don't have plans for a child?"
Sheng Mumu: "......"
Granny pressed her, "Mumu, is it because Qi Mo is too busy with work and doesn't have time to accompany you, so your relationship has faded?"
Sheng Mumu quickly shook her head. "It hasn't faded."
Granny looked incredulous, with an "is that so, I don't believe it" expression.
Just then, the front gate of the villa slowly opened.
A black Rolls-Royce Phantom appeared at the entrance.
The car steadily parked by the garden fountain.
Before little Wang could get out to open the door,
the man in the backseat had already pushed the door open himself.
The man who hadn't been seen for days appeared before them.
The lazy afternoon sunlight shone between the man's heroic and compelling brows, unable to conceal his innate edge.
He casually glanced to the side, and his gaze that was inherently a bit cold happened to meet hers.
Their eyes locked in midair. Sheng Mumu's eyes tightened.
A relieved expression appeared on her fair and clear face.
Her eyes curved into a delighted arc.
Almost in an instant, she thought of how to dispel Granny's doubts and put on an affectionate married couple act.
She beamed radiantly, opening her slender fair arms to welcome her returning husband.
Unexpectedly embracing the man who had just stepped out of the car.
Her voice was soft and sweet.
"Dear, you're back!"
