Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 20

When Sheng Xiao saw that Mu Qiqi was beside herself with excitement, he knew that she had found confidence by retaliating against Mu Tangxue.

The girl had quite the temper, and there was hope for her yet.

"I haven't had a chance to use your voice-recording pen, but I believe it definitely would prove useful in the future." Mu Qiqi drew out the pen, holding it in her palm like a treasure. "You gave that to me!"

Mu Qiqi's words touched Sheng Xiao a little.

There were millions who served him, but there wasn't one who would consecrate a pen from him like a sacred relic.

It seems that Mu Qiqi cherished every gift from him.

Sheng Xiao said nothing. He silently looked at her when Jing Yun suddenly called.

"Young Master, Boss wants to see you."

"I'll be right over." Sheng Xiao hung up immediately, and told Mu Qiqi, "Stay home and rest well. Don't think about silly things."

"Okay, you should go about your business!" Mu Qiqi quickly said.

Sheng Xiao told Old Lin to let him get off beside the road, and have Jing Yun pick him up.

Old Lin then told Mu Qiqi cheerfully, "Miss Qiqi, even if Young Master didn't say it, I could tell that he is worried about you."

Mu Qiqi lowered her head to hide a smile then, suddenly feeling that she was ever so close to Sheng Xiao.

The very air around Sheng Xiao changed when he got into Jing Yun's car.

He was a relaxed, lazy and devilish noble prince in front of Mu Qiqi, but never threatening. However, he was completely different when it was someone else.

Anyone who would step on his toes would suffer disproportional retribution.

That was why once Jing Yun mentioned that someone in his family was stirring trouble in the hospital, Sheng Xiao's face became dark and sinister.

"Young Master, the management is unhappy with the way you do things. They have been making a scene in the hospital, but Master shot him down."

"What? Are they unhappy?" Sheng Xiao said coldly.

"Your iron fist policies have stopped them from making a profit. Naturally, they are upset and are out to catch your weak point."

Sheng Xiao snorted and entered the ward, and went to his father when he found him on his sickbed. "Dad."

"Sheng Xiao, what's going on? Why did you leave halfway through a meeting?" Papa Sheng asked. "I know you are very capable, but discipline is the most important in managing a company."

"Old man, don't question my methods if you want me to handle things." Sheng Xiao promptly retorted.

"I'm waiting for you to get discharged."

Papa Sheng said nothing, but gestured for Jing Yun to follow him.

Jing Yun did so, staying right behind Sheng Xiao. "Young Master," he reminded him, "you visited the small mansion too many times lately."

"Don't really take me for a prince just because others call me Crown Prince, and count even the times I get in the toilet." Sheng Xiao shot back angrily. "It's my freedom where I would go."

"I'm just afraid that you would get trapped. You know that the Sheng family has no freedom when it comes to marriage!"

"Save those words for the other members of the Sheng family. Whoever crosses me, I'm going to have their entire family suffer." With those words, Sheng Xiao left the hospital.

Jing Yun sighed. He really could not handle Sheng Xiao.

At the same time, he hoped that Mu Qiqi's seemingly little influence would not leave Sheng Xiao irrational.

Although Sheng Xiao appeared capable when it came to relationships, his dominant style was limited to outward appearances”the truth was that he was still drawing a blank in intimacy.
