Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 33

Sheng Xiao wasn't looking at Mu Qiqi's eyes. However, his warm palms were covering her smaller hands.

Mu Qiqi said nothing. Afraid of shattering that moment of bliss, she could only lower her head awkwardly to look somewhere else.

Xiaoxiao was holding her hand! Xiaoxiao was holding her hand!

Sheng Xiao did not say a word either, and the two of them hence stayed still for over a dozen minutes”he eventually released her hands when someone came by and asked them to move their car.

Mu Qiqi was naturally sad that her hands were suddenly empty, but she still could feel his warmth...

As they drove off, Sheng Xiao asked, "Are you warm now?"

"Huh? Oh, yes," Mu Qiqi quickly answered. "Much warmer..."

"Well, where should we go now?"

She asked that because there were few who didn't know him, and he frequently caught everyone's attention wherever he went.

Word would eventually spread everywhere else if he brought her to some public place, and as such, he could only take her to the beach.

Where it was absolutely freezing.

When Sheng Xiao saw her cheeks that were red and stiff from the cold, he could only bring her home. Still, that puzzled Mu Qiqi.

"Are we going home, Xiaoxiao?"

He stopped the car inside the little mansion's garden, and simply stayed silent beside Mu Qiqi without answering her.

It left her even more confused with his behavior tonight.

"Xiaoxiao, are you alright?"

Who is Sheng Xiao?

The great Crown Prince of Huang Yao who could make a killing out of nowhere in commerce.

And yet, he was completely uncomfortable right now, in front of a young lady.

After all, his emotions were always tangled when it came to Mu Qiqi.

He wanted to claim that little thing without regard for anything, and yet was worried that he would burden her. He was fine with everything, be it to kneel or fight, whereas Mu Qiqi's everyday life was basically running on thin ice.

That was because she was only eighteen now, and things were yet to be settled with the Mu family. She would definitely not have peace should a protesting troop from the Sheng family be added to the mix.

He felt very restrained by that.

Sheng Xiao admitted defeat after going twenty-six years not knowing what restraint even was, suddenly feeling as if he had a weakness for Mu Qiqi!

Mu Qiqi was a little scared when she saw his gloomy face. Did she make him unhappy somehow?

"Xiaoxiao?"

Once again, Sheng Xiao did not answer. Instead, he drew a box from his glove compartment and threw it at her, his attitude reverting to his usual demonic prince form.

"For you."

"What?" Mu Qiqi opened the box to find a white mobile phone”it was the latest and best model there was. "A phone?"

"A replacement for that outdated thing you can only text with." Sheng Xiao said demandingly.

"I've saved my number in it."

Mu Qiqi nodded and held it in her arms. "Okay, Xiaoxiao."

"Go back. Your aunt would come looking for you." Sheng Xiao said, even as he reminded himself to keep calm, and that he had to hold back even if he would rather hang around longer with her.

Mu Qiqi nodded. She was a little disappointed, but she listened to him.

She had really assumed that Sheng Xiao would bring her to do something bad. Even if she clearly knew that he wouldn't, she was a little hopeful.

As she opened the car door and turned to leave, she suddenly turned back.

"Xiaoxiao..." She said. "I know I would sound pretentious, but I have to say it...there's a new me because of you, so thank you for giving me a second life."

"Yeah, whatever." Sheng Xiao replied impatiently.
