Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 36

Beneath the bed lamp, Sheng Xiao turned the pages of Mu Qiqi's diary.

The truth was that he has butterflies in his stomach. He had never once done such a thing that he, the Crown Prince of Huang Yao, considered lowly.

Even so, a diary was a different story altogether, because it held a person's most private affairs as well as their darkest thoughts.

That was why he flipped at once to the last page and did not spare a single glance at the contents in front!

It turned out that Mu Qiqi's last entry was about holding hands at the beach.

In that single instant, each one of Mu Qiqi's thoughts were exposed to Sheng Xiao, leaving him even more assured of the little one's affection.

She liked him...and very much so.

As for the ˜he' she noted in the diary...

He recognized it while others might not have, because those were the things they had experienced together. It would have been impossible for him to not know that she was talking about him.

Still, after a single look at the last page, Sheng Xiao closed the diary, changed his clothes, and called up Jing Yun in the middle of the night.

He wanted to go to Mu Qiqi's classroom in Eaton.

Jing Yun had no idea why he was behaving like that, but he immediately notified the school principal as ordered.

Hence, Sheng Xiao entered the school without anyone noticing. He found Mu Qiqi's desk and placed the stationery and the diary under it.

Jing Yun watched as Sheng Xiao did so outside the classroom and suddenly thought that he was becoming even more doting on Mu Qiqi.

It was midnight, and yet he would take the trip just to return her diary.

"Young master, it's time to leave." Jing Yun then reminded him.

They left the classroom quietly as if nothing happened.

However, on the way back, Jing Yun could not help but ask, "Young master, you could have let me do it."

Sheng Xiao was leaning on his back seat with his eyes closed, but his voice was very cold. "But can I still trust you, Jing Yun?"

Jing Yun was stunned and could not say a word. Sheng Xiao had struck a nerve, and it was after a long time that he told him what he thought.

"Young master, we grew up together. You know me well."

"I used to, but that's not necessarily the case now!" Sheng Xiao straightened, glaring at Jing Yun from the rearview mirror.

"I know you don't like Mu Qiqi and your heart says that it is only right that I do everything for the Sheng family. That is why the one you're serving is the Sheng family and not me, and you've changed to the point that we can no longer connect."

Jing Yun was dumbstruck.

Despite Sheng Xiao's free-spirited and self-indulgent appearance, he was a person with delicate thoughts.

That was why he would return Mu Qiqi's diary personally”he no longer trusted Jing Yun. After all, what would his assistant do to her after he read what was inside?

He had only read the last page himself, and while he looked fearsome and no one should provoke him, respect towards those he cherished was ingrained in his very bones.

On that night, the master and servant were polar opposites in thought. And yet, Sheng Xiao never demanded that Jing Yun fully support Mu Qiqi because he never liked such a stance.

Loyalty that was insincere meant nothing, however one would force in their demands!

In fact, Jing Yun himself could tell that Sheng Xiao no longer valued him. After all, he had only ever been pessimistic about Mu Qiqi.

The next morning, Mu Qiqi was breaking in cold sweat when she couldn't find her diary while packing her school bag.

It was her most private belonging that would cause trouble no matter who would stumble upon it. Could she have dropped it in Xiaoxiao's car?
