Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 27

When Sheng Xiao saw her reaction, he added, "You're being optimistic."

Mu Qiqi promptly glared at him.

"It's almost five months since you've moved here to this mansion, a time where you've changed dramatically. Could you have no intention to show those who abandoned you a good look at you now?" Sheng Xiao then asked, folding his arms.

Staring at him hopefully, Mu Qiqi said, "Of course I do."

"Then isn't that just fine? Your sister would definitely be trying every trick in the book on that day so that she would get every attention and humiliate you, so let them see with their own eyes right then how happy and blossoming Mu Qiqi had been after leaving the Mu family.

"That is my intention in agreeing to the Mu family's request, aside from them trying anything funny.

"You are my little princess”and of the Sheng family. Why should you fall short in comparison?"

For some reason, Mu Qiqi thought that she could overcome all trials and tribulations with such aspiring words from Sheng Xiao.

The truth was that she wanted to see the faces of her family when they saw how much she changed.

"Jing Yun would be coming tomorrow. He'll help you prepare for the party... and I had already told him to keep an eye on the Mu family over the next few days. Whatever they are about to buy, we will take it from them”I want anything they would give Mu Tangxue, so that it can be yours instead."

Sheng Xiao's words left Mu Qiqi's heart in an ocean of warmth.

It was only him who would do something like steal for her in this world.

The corner of her eyes reddened as she looked at him. "Suddenly, I'm hopeful..."

"Go to bed," Sheng Xiao gave her a nudge on her head. "There's still school tomorrow."

"What about you?"

"What do you care?"

Mu Qiqi reluctantly returned inside the little mansion even as she looked into Sheng Xiao's meaningful gaze.

It was clearly very cold outside, and yet...

"Xiaoxiao..."

"What is it?"

"It's still my eighteenth birthday. Even if I really want the Mu family to see how much I've changed, I would rather be with you.

I know you are busy everyday of course, but I really want to see you."

"I can't celebrate your birthday with you at the Mu family."

"That's alright... it's Christmas on the day after, would I see you then?"

"There's an event at the company," Sheng Xiao simply replied.

After all, would a family trading in diamonds miss such an important day like Christmas?

"Okay. Well, I'm off to bed." Mu Qiqi was very disappointed, but she quickly turned and closed the door so that Sheng Xiao could not see her sad face.

Was she being too optimistic?

Why was she daydreaming in such fashion?

Sheng Xiao was already being too nice to her. She shouldn't feel such discontent.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao watched as Mu Qiqi quickly left.
