Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

"Xiao... Brother Xiao."

Sheng Xiao was sitting in the living room at the moment, flipping through various TV channels.

"Wash your hands, it's time for dinner." Su Zipei stepped out from the kitchen, calling out to Mu Qiqi when she entered before returning to the kitchen.

Mu Qiqi walked to Sheng Xiao and held his hand sneakily, letting go in an instant because she was afraid that Su Zipei would notice.

"I'll go change."

Sheng Xiao gestured for her to hurry, an indulgent look lurking just beneath his eyes.

Soon, Mu Qiqi had changed and headed downstairs. Su Zipei had everything ready and Sheng Xiao was sitting at the dinner table as well.

"Thank you, Young Master Sheng. Qiqi would've definitely been given a hard time if not for you," Su Zipei told him as she sat. "Look at you spending the money and the manpower...we really don't know how to repay you."

"It's okay. Qiqi can pay me later," Sheng Xiao said simply, which sounded as if the debt could wait until Mu Qiqi started to work as an adult.

Only both himself and Mu Qiqi knew its deeper meaning, which was why Mu Qiqi blushed.

To hide her red face, she hid herself behind her bowl, pretending to be hungry and eating quickly.

"Slow down, kiddo."

Sheng Xiao turned to grin at her and began to eat nonchalantly as well, while Mu Qiqi finished her meal soon enough and quickly told the other two, "I'm finished. I'm going to study upstairs." "Young Master Sheng, please understand...you've spoiled the child!"

"Good," Sheng Xiao simply replied, although his words had another meaning. "I did say that I hope that she would strut in Jianchuan."

"That won't do. You are going to have a family eventually...

you can't stay by her side forever. Young Master Sheng, you have done enough for us and we couldn't ask for more, and I'm absolutely willing to dedicate my life to you."

Sheng Xiao did not answer. It would be right to say that he did not need a dedication in the future since that was too far ahead.

Right now, the reward he wanted was Mu Qiqi and nothing else.

Soon, Sheng Xiao finished his dinner and left as well. Since it was a little early, he returned to Huang Yao to do some work before returning outside the little mansion at around nine. Mu Qiqi sneaked out the door and into his car when she received his text.

This time, they drove off not to amusement parks or woods, but to the highest peak of Jianchuan to enjoy the night view. They had to stay in the car because it was too cold, but Mu Qiqi was extremely thrilled with the overlooking view of the city.

"Xiaoxiao..."

Sheng Xiao said nothing, and simply pulled her to himself.

She sat on him, her hands wrapping over his neck. None of them spoke as they enjoyed the intimate moment.

"Get into the faculty of engineering in Sheng Ting, and I'll have a place to stay ready for you," Sheng Xiao suddenly spoke.

"What?" Mu Qiqi heard and understood, but was in such disbelief she tried to confirm it.

"I won't repeat myself." Sheng Xiao never had such patience.

"Is...is that a promise to me?" Mu Qiqi summoned her courage to ask him. "Can I think of it that way?"

Sheng Xiao moved closer without sparing her room to escape and looked in the eyes. "Did you think that you could run?"

"I'm not running...but are we cohabiting when I attend university?"

Sheng Xiao could not help but laugh at her words, leaving her utterly enchanted.

"Cohabit? Is that what your brain thinks of all the time? Hmm?"

Mu Qiqi turned away and ignored him, feeling teased.

However, just as he pretended to let her go, she moved closer again. "Fine, I'm wrong, alright? I just can't believe no, I don't even dare to imagine how much I want to be by your side, Xiaoxiao. Even so, there are times I find that hope hard to come true.

"You're on the road to hell. What's there to fear?" he asked, poking fun at her. "You've already gone bad, and do you think keeping that in check would change the ending?"

Mu Qiqi considered it for a moment before nodding. "You're right."

A cold wind blew on her face then, stabbing into her bone.

However, the kiss from Sheng Xiao left her entire body scorched.

She simply liked him and was so utterly captivated by him that she wouldn't have any complaints even if she were to go to hell right then.

Later, Sheng Xiao took her home. If anyone had seen her lips then, they would certainly know that she had been doing something naughty. And this time, she wasn't so lucky.

When she had been sneaking inside, she didn't notice Su Zipei near the kitchen door.

It was only when she was upstairs that she faintly heard the sound of a door closing.

Her heart began to beat rapidly. Did Su Zipei find out that she left the house?

As such, she quickly called Sheng Xiao.

"Xiaoxiao, I think Aunt Zipei saw me come home. Will we be found out?"

"If you're that afraid, why come out to meet me?"

"Xiaoxiao..." she pleaded meekly.

Helpless, Sheng Xiao told her, "Go to sleep. I'll think of something."

Mu Qiqi nodded, but she was definitely not sleeping tonight. Even so, she could not think of anything by herself.

Su Zipei had been shocked to find her niece entering the house so carefully, and in turn, remembered what Mu Tangxue told her: a man often took Mu Qiqi out at night and showered her with gifts. Could her niece really be hiding something from her?

With that thought, Su Zipei quickly took out the diary pages from her bedside drawer and read them, but did not find much clues.

Mu Qiqi occasionally mentioned a boy, but as she had told her, it was about a boy from school.

But who did she sneak out to meet?

Sheng Xiao had showed up in the afternoon, so it couldn't be him.

Could Qiqi really have a sugar daddy?

Impossible!

Even so, Su Zipei knew that she wouldn't get a confession from Mu Qiqi just like that, and as such, pretended that the matter never happened at all.

Mu Qiqi herself stayed calm in the next morning as well, since Xiaoxiao instructed her not to act guilty even if she was exposed. It would be no different than admitting otherwise!

"Good morning, Aunt Zipei." Mu Qiqi did not appear any different when she left her bedroom.

"Hurry up and eat your breakfast!" Su Zipei did not interrogate her immediately.

Instead, she would check her niece's room when she was at school for any clues she could get.
