Chapter Ninety-One: Finding a Stepfather

Waking up to find herself standing under the shower, with a nearly naked man in front of her, anyone in this situation would be in a state of turmoil.

Sheng Jiaoyang's mind was racing; her emotions were too complex, and she didn't know how to react. The only thing that gave her some peace of mind was that she was still dressed, although her silk pajamas were completely soaked and clung to her body—it was better than nothing.

Seeing that she was awake, Shen Zhining turned and left the bathroom.

Sheng Jiaoyang covered her face with her hands. Good heavens! Had she barged in while Shen Zhining was showering? How else could she explain Shen Zhining being naked while she was fully clothed?

After she finally dried her hair and went out, Shen Zhining was already asleep in bed. She breathed a sigh of relief and quietly slipped into her own blankets.

The next day, at breakfast, Daisy said with a grim expression that she had to go back. Her parents also said they wanted to go back with her, saying they didn't want to disturb the two young people's time together.

Just before boarding the plane, Old Master Shen called Shen Zhining aside and instructed, "Even if someone dies, it's okay. Don't hide it from us. Your grandmother and I can take care of the child after it's born. You two just live your own lives."

"..." He hadn't expected his grandfather to be like this.

Meanwhile, Daisy stood in front of Sheng Jiaoyang with an unfriendly gaze, asking sharply, "Did you touch my breasts last night?"

Sheng Jiaoyang blinked. "Did I?" Her gaze shifted downwards, landing on Daisy's well-endowed breasts. Hmm, they must feel nice...

Daisy, still somewhat remembering her drunken state, wanted to bite the woman in front of her to death. She muttered under her breath, "You're such a scoundrel!" After cursing, she turned and boarded the plane.

Sheng Jiaoyang: "..."

The impeccably polite butler, Philip, standing to the side, tried his best to suppress his laughter.

Watching the plane soar into the sky, Sheng Jiaoyang touched her burning earlobes. Had she really touched Daisy's breasts last night?

"Philip, move her things out of my room!" Shen Zhining immediately ordered Philip.

"Yes, boss." Philip quickly sent someone to move the things.

Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Shen Zhining and said, "My mission is complete, can I go home now?"

Shen Zhining's indifferent gaze swept over her, "Your mission has only just begun. It won't be over until we no longer need you."

"What if you never find a wife in your life, cough cough..." Sheng Jiaoyang quickly covered her mouth.

"Pray!" Shen Zhining said cryptically.

A cold smile appeared on his lips as he turned and went back to the villa.

So... her mission wasn't just to impersonate his girlfriend, but now she also had to help the Demon King Shen find a wife? Sheng Jiaoyang gasped. Who knew what kind of woman the Demon King Shen liked? She had never seen Shen Zhining get close to any woman before. Could it be—

the Demon King Shen actually liked men?

Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes widened, shocked by her own thought.

Regardless of whether Shen Zhining liked men or women, there were so many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry; there was bound to be one suitable for him. A glint of something unsettling shone in Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes. Without a doubt, she was now ready to become a pimp. As long as she could escape, who cared what others thought? Besides, while Shen Zhining had a bad temper, he wasn't the type to commit domestic violence. Anyone he fancied, though unlucky and constantly facing his unpredictable mood, would at least be financially secure.

It was at this moment that Sheng Jiaoyang resolved to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. The better she did, the more people she could meet, thus increasing her chances of escaping.

Standing at her front door, Sheng Jiaoyang felt as if she had been transported to another world. The recent events had left her in a state of turmoil, each day feeling like an eternity!

She opened the door and heard voices inside, which surprised her. Last week, when she contacted Xu Qing, the latter had said she had passed through a remote, impoverished mountainous area while traveling and, seeing the hardships faced by the volunteer teachers there, had the audacious idea of ​​staying to help for a while. Since it was Xu Qing's own wish, she naturally supported her and even transferred some money to Xu Qing's account for her to use as she pleased.

She's back now?

Wait a minute, why do I hear a man's voice?

Sheng Jiaoyang walked into the living room and saw Xu Qing and a man sitting on a sofa looking through a photo album. She heard Xu Qing saying, "This was taken when Jiaojiao was five years old, this was taken when Jiaojiao was in elementary school, this is..."

"I'm back!" Sheng Jiaoyang called out.

Xu Qing turned around, saw Sheng Jiaoyang, and stood up in surprise, saying, "Jiaojiao, why are you back?"

At this moment, the man also stood up and turned around.

He was a rather young-looking man, probably only in his early thirties, looking even more youthful and energetic than Shen Zhining.

"Hello, Jiaojiao," the man greeted Sheng Jiaoyang in his broken Mandarin.

"Hello! May I ask who you are?" Although she was asking the man, Sheng Jiaoyang was actually looking at Xu Qing.

“My Chinese name is Li Weiqi.”

“He’s a friend I met on a tour.”

Xu Qing and the man said almost simultaneously, then they smiled at each other.

Sheng Jiaoyang’s eyes lit up; there was something going on!

“Didn’t you say you were going to stay in the mountains to help?” Sheng Jiaoyang asked.

Xu Qing said, “That was my original plan, but Weiqi said I couldn’t help much on my own. He said he could set up an educational fund, uniting many wealthy people to help these poor children in the mountains go to school.”

Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at Li Weiqi, thinking, "Quite an idea!" But to say that Li Weiqi wasn't interested in Xu Qing would be a lie... well, she's surnamed Xu now, not Sheng.

"That's a good idea." She walked over and sat down on another sofa, casually sharing her views and experience on establishing a charity foundation.

Li Weiqi listened with increasing astonishment, looking at Sheng Jiaoyang with a peculiar gaze. Qing's daughter was so intelligent, possessing such profound insights into establishing a foundation. She seemed like a proud little princess on the surface, yet she had such depth inside—truly, appearances can be deceiving!

Xu Qing sat to the side, smiling as she watched the two chat, though she didn't understand a word. After they finished, she asked, "Jiaojiao, shouldn't you be in school for military training right now?"

"Uh," Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, she didn't lie, "I'm preparing to go abroad to participate in a fashion week runway show these next few days, so I've asked for leave."

"Runway show? Jiaojiao, are you a model now?" Li Weiqi was even more surprised.

"Jiaojiao is amazing! She recently participated in a supermodel competition and won the championship!" Xu Qing said with great pride. Li

Weiqi nodded. Putting everything else aside, this young girl's knowledge was truly eye-opening. He also knew that Xu Jiaojiao was not yet eighteen this year.

"Do you want to come abroad with me for a few days?" Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Xu Qing.

"I..." Xu Qing turned to look at Li Weiqi.

Li Weiqi smiled, "Then you and Jiaojiao go play, I'll go back and prepare."

After Li Weiqi left, Sheng Jiaoyang asked Xu Qing, "Are you planning to find me a stepfather?"

Xu Qing choked on her own saliva, her face flushed with embarrassment, and said, "Impossible, Weiqi is just a friend. He's so young, there will be very good young girls to match him."

"Your thinking is wrong. There are quite a few age-gap relationships these days, some with an age difference of more than ten years. He's thirty-three this year, and you're only forty, only seven years apart, what's impossible about that?"

"Don't talk nonsense, we're really just ordinary friends. He, he doesn't like me..."

"How do you know he doesn't like you?" Sheng Jiaoyang interrupted her.

Xu Qing was stunned, and stammered, "I'm so old, how could he like me? It's impossible."

In the end, it's still because of a lack of confidence! Sheng Jiaoyang silently looked at Xu Qing for a while, thinking that he should find a beautiful girl to give her a makeover. Many times, a large part of a person's confidence comes from their appearance. First, change her appearance, as for inner confidence, that will have to be cultivated slowly.

Sheng Jiaoyang was a woman of action; she quickly booked the plane tickets and took Xu Qing on a flight abroad.
