Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 14

When Sheng Xiao was about to leave the little mansion after dinner, Mu Qiqi saw him off to the gates, clutching her exam papers.

"Be careful on your way back. There's no telling when you would come again after today."

Sheng Xiao had always done as he pleased, never affording others time to prepare.

Even so, Mu Qiqi was hopeful of seeing him again, just as she knew that her ˜hope' was ˜greed' in reality!

"Go back to your room. Don't study all the time, though. You'll become a nerd." With those words, Sheng Xiao turned, got into his car and drove off.

Mu Qiqi pouted and sighed. She returned to her room and studied diligently under the night lamp.

On the other hand, Sheng Xiao did not really leave. He was still inside his car, watching the glowing yellow night lamp in her room.

When Jing Yun had warned him that he was not adopting a cat or a dog, did he really think that he, the Crown Prince of Huang Yao would fail to raise a girl?

Be that as it may, it was after what Su Zipei had told him today, that he finally realized something.

He was slowly becoming the center of her life.

And after being used to his freedom, could he truly live with such a shackle?

After quietly looking for downstairs for half an hour, Sheng Xiao finally drove off.

He thought that he might need a clearer position.

Mama Mu was completely dispirited when she reached home”she didn't know whether she should tell her husband about Mu Qiqi receiving financial support.

Papa Mu scolded her when he found her returning, hanging her head in dejection. "Where have you been? Why's dinner not ready yet?"

"I'll cook right away." Mama Mu took off her jacket and hurried into the kitchen.

Mu Tangxue knew that her mother had taken a huge blow right then, and so sneaked into the kitchen and asked, "Mommy, what did Aunt Zipei say?"

"Say no more. She gave me a scolding."

So, it was not only Mu Qiqi who had turned the tables. Even Su Zipei now thought of herself as a phoenix soaring above them?

"Mommy, we should just tell Daddy, or he's going to blame you when something happens," Mu Tangxue suggested as if she was concerned.

Mama Mu was certainly afraid of taking responsibility as much as she never stood up for her own opinions. She was quickly convinced by Mu Tangxue's words to tell her husband about Mu Qiqi.

After dinner, she took the information she has to Papa Mu's study.

"Didn't I tell you no to enter my study whenever you feel like it?" Papa Mu scolded.

"I... I have something to tell you."

Mama Mu handed the information to Papa Mu, and said, "I thought Zipei would be taking care of Qiqi after she left...

I don't know what happened afterward, but she is now receiving help from a rich French national, and attending school at Eaton!"

Papa Mu was left dumbstruck by her words. He quickly read through the information and exploded, "Ridiculous. Do they think that the Mu family doesn't exist? Who would dare to interfere when I teach my own daughter a lesson?"

"Do you think we should bring Qiqi home, husband? But have you thought about your brothers trying to grab your seat?"

Papa Mu held back his rage after being reminded of the fact, and paced around the study.

"Did you find her? Is she having a good time eating from someone else's table? That ungrateful, back-stabbing thing is actually flaunting around in Eaton... If anyone knows, they would say that the Mu family couldn't even afford raising a daughter?"

"So? What should we do?" Mama Mu asked.

After thinking for a while, Papa Mu told her, "Bring her home. Have your sister look after her."
