Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 12

Sheng Xiao's eyes were bright and hopeful as he watched Mu Qiqi, but his smile was demonic.

"Then how do you want me to think of you?"

Mu Qiqi was stunned. Sheng Xiao had directly returned her question.

"I asked first!"

"Like a sister, of course! What else could it be?" Old Lin suddenly interrupted merrily from the driver's seat.

He was driving, and as such could not tell the feelings extending from Mu Qiqi's eyes towards Sheng Xiao was familial or even friendly.

Sheng Xiao appeared aware of that, but he did not react”showing neither disgust nor delight.

Either way, that conversation ended with Old Lin's interruption.

In reality, Mu Qiqi was afraid that Sheng Xiao would notice something as much as she was afraid that he didn't notice anything. But with her girly thoughts essentially hanging all over her face, how could Sheng Xiao not get it?

Even so, Sheng Xiao was not one of morals. He only ever did things according to his mood, which was why he would never give a damn about conditions or obstacles if he had his eye on something!

Still, in the very least and for the moment, he enjoyed Mu Qiqi's dependence on himself.

Being one who lived surrounded by the finest of women, has he not seen even the flamboyant of them? And yet, he would rather stay close to her pure-whiteness.

That was why he could easily see through every one of Mu Qiqi's reactions and feelings, even if it was very unfair to her.

She was fearful and nervous, only able to keep her feelings hidden deep within herself as she tried to test the depths of Sheng Xiao's heart, little by little.

That was why her anxiety left him very entertained.

"It has been so long, but I still don't know what to call you..." Mu Qiqi said quietly after fidgeting for a long time. "And I definitely don't want to call you brother..."

"Not brother, then what?" Old Lin interrupted again.

Mu Qiqi could cry right then.

Couldn't Old Lin just stick to the driving?

Shang Xiao quietly smiled as he enjoyed the look on the young lady's face. "So, what do you want to call me? Come, tell me."

Can I call you whatever I want? Mu Qiqi thought. How about ˜Xiao Xiao'? Would you like that?

"Just call me Brother Xiao in front of others." Sheng Xiao offered.

It also meant that she could call her whatever she wanted when there was no one else around, although that subtext was lost on Mu Qiqi. However, his suggestion was the most reasonable address at the moment too.

"About just now, when Mu Tangxue came looking for me...

"

"Mu Qiqi, do you need me to repeat myself? I've told you I won't give up on what belongs to me."

Sheng Xiao's side profile was illuminated by the setting sun right then, making him appear elegant and flawless.

He looked confident, flaunting and even devilish, but that was the Sheng Xiao that left Mu Qiqi captivated, rooting himself deep inside the heart of a girl who was yet eighteen.

She was not a hundred percent sure, but she also knew that it was a very dangerous feeling.

Even so, she could not control herself...

And by how Sheng Xiao reacted, it appears that he has no intention of having her control herself either.

"No, I'm just worried that Mu Tangxue would try something."

"Well, do you think her tricks would work with me or you?"

For the moment, Mu Tangxue's tricks were really ineffective to anyone.
