Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 46: Why Are You Afraid If She Isn’t?

Having been just exposed by Mu Tangxue, Mu Qiqi was not so brave that she would leave the mansion

pompously at night since she was afraid that Su Zipei would notice her aunt had been very trusting

after all.

Even so, she had a maddening desire to meet Sheng Xiao.

As such, it was only after she made sure that Su Zipei was definitely asleep that she sneaked out the

door.

Even so, it was already midnight. Sheng Xiao was asleep in his car when she came out.

"Xiaoxiao..." Mu Qiqi sat beside him, watching his handsome face. "Did I kept you waiting?"

"I thought you had grown so bold that you wouldn't come out."

"I would come out even if I had to crawl but my mother spilled the beans today, and you do know that

I'm afraid Aunt Zipei would suspect something. That's why I waited until she's asleep." Mu Qiqi

explained.

"Then should we not meet at night?" Sheng Xiao said meaningful, his eyes boring into her. "You

wouldn't have to wait until midnight then."

"I want to see you." Mu Qiqi quickly answered. "I'm willing to wait even until daytime."

Having achieved what he wanted to do, Sheng Xiao couldn't help driving off a bit further but he did not

leave the mansion district. The little one still had school tomorrow, and she wouldn't be focused if she

didn't have enough rest.

"Have you thought about which academy you would go to?" Sheng Xiao asked, elegantly parking her

car. "Or do you want to leave the country?"

"I don't." Mu Qiqi quickly replied. "I just want to stay in Jianchuan."

When he heard that, Sheng Xiao could not help hold her chin and ask her evilly, "You want to stay in

Jianchuan or beside me?"

Mu Qiqi was mesmerized, and could not stop herself from saying as she gazed upon him, "I just want

to see you every day..."

Sheng Xiao smiled at that answer and extended his long fingers to stroke her lips. "You are becoming

shameless with your words."

Mu Qiqi's heart thumped faster, finding herself in the clouds just because she could be so close to the

person she loved.

That was when Sheng Xiao's face inched closer. Even his eyebrows were now visible, and Mu Qiqi felt

his lip touching her lower lip soon enough.

There was no biting this time, but that was also all there was to it.

She quickly closed her eyes, but Sheng Xiao had already pulled away. "Horrible.

Sugar babies usually take the initiative."

Mu Qiqi's cheeks burst in crimson and she promptly buried her head in his chest.

That man's teasing was simply too formidable she simply could not hold her own as a young girl.

"Xiaoxiao, I don't know which university I should go to...please guide me."

Sheng Xiao quickly asked in return, "What if I tell you stay another year in Eaton? Would you do that?"

Mu Qiqi shook her head. "I trust you. You always make the best choices for me."

Although Mu Qiqi found her own words a little unreal, Sheng Xiao felt his own importance. Even if he

did not answer her at once, he kept her hopes in his heart.

"Either way, I don't want to study in the same place as Mu Tangxue. I kept getting the feeling that we

are inseparable."

Sheng Xiao said nothing, merely keeping her head in his arms for a few minutes before letting go. "I'm

off to Italy tomorrow. Don't get bullied when I'm not around."

"I know." Mu Qiqi nodded as she let go. But when she was ready to get down from the car, Sheng Xiao

caught her and her lips were instantly touched.

He couldn't do a thing. The little one's lips were just so addicting.

Mu Qiqi reached out to hug him, reacting clumsily and twitchily.

Afraid of leaving a mark, Sheng Xiao eventually held back from going too far.

Later, after Mu Qiqi got down from the car and returned to the little mansion, she remembered the two

kisses with him for the night.

She felt as if she could faint from the bliss.

Naturally, the more blissful she felt, the more afraid she was.

What if everyone learned about their relationship someday? Would they have to be separated then?

There was nothing she could do. Born with a pessimistic personality, Mu Qiqi was afraid even in her

moment of happiness.

Meanwhile, when Sheng Xiao returned home, he called up Jing Yun when he should be resting.

He told his assistant to find the university with the best science course in Jianchuan because he did not

want to disappoint the little one.

Finding him so serious, Jing Yun replied, "Young Master, you've really fallen now."

Sheng Xiao settled into his couch and browsed through information of the different universities when he

remembered that his alma mater was ranked top nationally for the sciences. He knew Mu Qiqi's

strengths as well, which was why getting into his alma mater would not be a problem for her.

No one would have expected that the Crown Prince of Huang Yao, the Young Master Sheng who could

leave anyone shaking at the mere mention of his name, and the eighth child of the family who would

disown every living relative once his temper flared...would actually pick an ideal academy for a high

school girl who was about to take her entrance exam.

It was a sight that left Jing Yun thinking that Sheng Xiao was trapped.

However, it was only after Sheng Xiao made a series of analyses to pick subjects Mu Qiqi was adept at

that he lowered his pen and look at Jing Yun. "Yes, I've fallen. Do you have an opinion?"

"Young Master, you know that's impossible...it would only hurt Miss Qiqi."

"Why are you afraid if she isn't?" Sheng Xiao asked in return. "Jing Yun, souls that bend to fate are

ever dull."

"I'm only afraid that both of you would be wounded then, Young Master..."

"And I've told you before: I'll take the hurt and kneel if I have to. Why are you so fearful when I'm not?"

"Whatever you would say, I can no longer let go of her now...now that you know we aren't separating,

you should decide for yourself whether you support this or would continue your backstabbing. Either

way, I won't change my decision because of you."

With that, Sheng Xiao tidied the university materials and washed up.

Jing Yun felt a bad taste in his mouth. He would understand Sheng Xiao if it was any other person, but

why did it have to be Mu Qiqi?

The Mu family and the Sheng family were like oil and water. Although the grudge was less important to Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Sheng Xiao's generation, it was the opposite for their seniors.

Nonetheless, if he didn't stay by Sheng Xiao's side, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi would only have each

other when the truth comes to light.

Although he could not accept it, he decided to try tolerating Qiqi's place in Sheng Xiao's heart.

And help the young master keep things a secret from Master Sheng.

***

The truth was that Sheng Xiao knew about Jing Yun. His assistant would never betray him, and the

little one definitely could fight back against little schemes at the moment. Even so, she was young and

immature when it came to larger conspiracies.

He did not want the little one to be in danger.
