Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

“Aren’t you being too sensitive? Mis Qiqi has been busy handling her sister lately, where would she get the time for that?” Old Lin explained.

“It’ll be nice if she didn’t. I just hope that’s she’s not committing herself to a relationship too early.” Su Zipei said a little worriedly.

“Are you going to tell our young master then? Qiqi always listens to him.”

At the moment, Su Zipei believed that Qiqi was being worshipful towards Sheng Xiao as a brotherlike existence instead of romantically. It sets her at ease that Sheng Xiao was never interested in Qiqi, because Sheng Xiao’s type were those women who were hot and direct from what she could see.

And certainly not a young maiden like Qiqi!

“You’re right. I have to warn Young Master Sheng.”

It was a matter that should not be delayed. With that thought, Su Zipei woke Sheng Xiao from his dreamland early in the morning.

He took the call while holding back his rage.

“I’m sorry, Young Master Sheng. Did I wake you up?”

“Something happened to Qiqi?” Sheng Xiao sat up on his crisp white bed, exposing his sexily muscular upper body.

“Not really, but I have something I need to discuss with you.”

“Do tell.”

“I suspect she’s caught in puppy love.” Su Zipei told him seriously.

Sheng Xiao’s darkened at that. “Why would you say that?” he asked.

“She’s quite worried about her figure and has just started keeping a diary. Aren’t those things what young girls normally do when they fall in love?” Su Zipei said, revealing her suspicions.

“I know that she admires you very much—I know that without her telling me that, but that’s also why I hope you could persuade her to stay focused on her studies. She had just left the Mu family after all, and she must remain hardworking to control her life from now on.”

Sheng Xiao smiled quietly. “The young lady really has much on her mind!”

“Doesn’t she?”

“I’ll keep an eye on her. Relax.”

“I will.” Su Zipei breathed a sigh of relief when she received his answer, although she remained simply unaware that the biggest threat was just on the other side of the call.

***

Why would Su Zipei believe that Mu Qiqi admired someone in school?

That was because she had been unaware that Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao were meeting many times outside her knowledge. Indeed, she did not even know that Sheng Xiao was frequenting Old Lin’s car.

When Sheng Xiao hung up, he was chuckling quietly.

He was in a very good mood for some reason, even if he was actually woken from his sleep.

The young lady was really thinking too much—worried about her figure? It seems that she had not really found out about his tastes.

He never liked hot chicks after all!

But coming to think of it, was he really her object of affection?

Sheng Xiao’s mood was dampened at the very thought.

If he found out that Mu Qiqi was being close to some boy, he would probably…

With that very thought, he tidied himself up, put on his clothes and left.

After all, he could use the excuse that his car has broken down for a few days. He got Old Lin to pick him up, allowing Mu Qiqi to see the man he wished to meet in the car.

The man who was the source of all her courage.

“Your car is still being repaired?” Mu Qiqi laughed.

Sheng Xiao ignored that however, and asked seriously, “Mu Qiqi. Do you remember why you’re attending Eaton?”

“Of course I do.”

The reality was that Sheng Xiao did not want to ask about that, but there was no way he could turn his back on Su Zipei so simply either.

In the end, he just wanted to know whether Mu Qiqi’s was attracted to him.

“What is it?”

“I’m just afraid that you would be having a puppy love moment.” Sheng Xiao said, his tone suddenly strict. “The Mu family is keeping a tight watch on you—you should put away any such thoughts as soon as possible.”

When she heard that, Mu Qiqi quickly lowered her head as if her secret was exposed.

Was she not supposed to have puppy love at all? Or was that just limited to the school?

“There’s no one I like in school,” Mu Qiqi told Sheng Xiao firmly. “So, you can relax.”

“Alright.” Sheng Xiao nodded, satisfied since that was the answer he wanted.

For her own part, Mu Qiqi was being a little petty as well.

She answered according to Sheng Xiao’s question—that she was not in love with someone at school.

That certainly did not mean that she does not have feelings for someone outside of school.

“Miss Qiqi, Young Master is asking for your own good. Even Miss Su is worried about you.”

Mu Qiqi suddenly remembered that she had asked Su Zipei about her figure.

Could it be that her aunt told everyone else?

“Are you blushing?” Sheng Xiao was immediately interested when he saw her changing expression. “What’s there to blush about your figure?”

Just as she thought!

“Uh, we’re there! I’m getting off!” Mu Qiqi quickly opened the car door and hurried towards the school gates.

When he saw that, Old Lin told Sheng Xiao, “Look, Miss Qiqi isn’t in love. Miss Su and you were thinking too much.”

Mu Qiqi did not actually think that; he knew better than anyone else.

“Drive.”

Even so, he was worried.

What if the day comes that Mu Qiqi could no longer hide her feelings, and everyone around them could see it.

What would he do then?

Moreover, he himself was not sure that he was actually only enjoying the admiration of a young girl towards her.

Having not developed such feelings towards any woman before, how could he tell things apart?

***

As her heart thumped and she made a beeline for her classroom, Mu Qiqi did not know that Sheng Xiao’s heart was in turmoil as well.

She noticed that Mu Tangxue had arrived earlier than she did.

When her tablemate saw her, she pulled her aside. “That sister of yours is really good at being liked. She bought everyone breakfast early in the morning, even getting their tastes right… they would probably be in her pocket inf this continues.”

“Then why don’t you accept her bribe?” Mu Qiqi asked her in return.

“We share a desk. What would happen to you if I don’t take your side?”

Mu Qiqi grinned and clapped her on her shoulder. “I knew you’ve been nice to me. I will remember that.”

“Still, why are your two so different? And isn’t she clearly having a go at you? She bought breakfast for everyone except you… she’s so cunning it must have been horrible for you!”

“So what? She would eventually learn that there are things I can do that she couldn’t. Mu Qiqi turned and glared at Mu Tangxue very provokingly.
