Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 48

Right now, Mu Tangxue could hardly get anything out of Mu Qiqi.

Even if the reality was that she had lost, Mu Qiqi would simply watch and become a laughing stock for her twin. At worse, she would bring her down with herself.

Meanwhile, the class welcomed Mu Tangxue's return with full disdain, since those who tattled would only ever earn hate.

"Qiqi, I'll let you in on a secret: There are quite a few others in school thinking about ways they would repay Mu Tangxue," Qian Qian whispered to Mu Qiqi. "It would be quite the show...White Lotus Mu's days are numbered."

However, Mu Qiqi was unable to enjoy in the cheer of that victory. After all, she was worried that her aunt would read her diary back home.

Moreover, Mu Tangxue had seemed to expect that she would be pranked on, since she was used to seeing others play practical jokes on Mu Qiqi herself. Therefore, she never left her seat and remained there until the end of school.

Once the bell rang, Mu Qiqi dashed to Old Lin's car and sent a message to Sheng Xiao overseas on the way back.

[XIaoxiao...Mu Tangxue has given my diary to Aunt Zipei...I'm afraid she'll know my secrets...]

Nonetheless, there was no reply from Sheng Xiao since he was having a video conference.

Without anyone to talk to, Mu Qiqi sent another message.

[Aunt Zipei must find it hard to accept!]

Then, holding her phone and summoning her courage, Mu Qiqi waited until she saw Su Zipei at the mansion gates before going up to meet her.

"You're home? Come, eat." Su Zipei gestured for her to put down her bag.

Mu Qiqi could not tell anything from her aunt's reaction. "Aunt Zipei..."

"What is it?" she asked.

Mu Qiqi shook her head since she was not brave enough to ask. Even so, since Su Zipei was not being especially weird, she quickly shrank like a tortoise.

"Nothing..."

After their meal, Mu Qiqi went upstairs and sneaked into Su Zipei's room while her aunt cleaned up the kitchen.

She was going to check whether the diary pages were there as Mu Tangxue told her, and found it at Su Zipei's bedside drawer.

However, she couldn't simply take them away”she quickly returned to her own room and wrote several new pages before tearing them apart and piecing them together again with cellophane tape. Then, she switched them for the ones in the bedside drawer when Su Zipei was bathing.

She had no idea whether Su Zipei had read them, but she would feel better to have those pages that wrote about Sheng Xiao with her.

She carefully protected her relationship with Sheng Xiao because liking him was immoral from Su Zipei's point of view.

She might have the courage to tell her aunt that she liked him when she eventually entered university, but she only felt an ever-present guilt now.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao still had not replied. Mu Qiqi's mood was naturally in a mess.

Nonetheless, it was when she was about to fall asleep that he finally replied.

[If you're afraid, why continue?]

Mu Qiqi held her phone, feeling distaste at those words.

[I'm only afraid. I want to continue, even if it means splitting heads and spilling blood.]
