Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 50

Amidst the bustling crowd and the clinking champagne glasses at the gala, Sheng Xiao was sitting in a corner, bored and unwilling to join the meaningless, time-wasting gathering.

When Papa Sheng saw him, he gestured at a number of single ladies to approach him. However, even if those many daughters of famed families had every intention to do so, they simply were not brave enough.

Be that as it may, there was one young lady from the Jiang family who flamboyantly walked to him, wanting to challenge the legend amongst aristocratic circles. "Young Master Sheng, do you mind if I take the seat next to yours?"

Sheng Xiao opened his eyes for a single glance at her stunning figure, but sneered. "I prefer flatness rather than mountains. By the way, Miss Jiang, could you have chanced upon the term ˜bimbo' before?"

Miss Jiang was taken aback, a fire promptly igniting beneath his eyes.

"It seems that you do not value women at all, Young Master Sheng."

"That's where you're wrong. There are some whom I value."

"And who would that be?"

Sheng Xiao smiled and rose from the couch, saying, "I'm off to do something exciting with her. Want to come with me?"

Miss Jiang was at once troubled and embarrassed. After all, no one could be as unrestrained as Sheng Xiao and be totally unafraid of stepping on someone else's toes, even if that pompous personality of his always made him the center of attention.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao went to Jing Yun, since he knew that his assistant would have checked in with Papa Sheng and informed his father that he had to leave immediately.

Right after Sheng Xiao left the hotel, he told Jing Yun, "Get down."

"Young Master, please straighten things up first before meeting Miss Qiqi. Even I would have to suffer otherwise."

Jing Yun had made an excuse for Sheng Xiao that something urgent had cropped up and required Sheng Xiao's immediate attention.

Nonetheless, Sheng Xiao said nothing and instead waved him off, gesturing for his assistant to return home.

Then, he drove to the little mansion and sent the little one a message while he waited downstairs.

Not a moment later, Mu Qiqi ran and entered the car, the fragrance of her shampoo wafting from her body and reaching Sheng Xiao's nose. Even so, that faint sweetness was much more relaxing than the expensive perfume the women in the gala had worn, and without holding back, he rested his head on her shoulder. "That's a relaxing scent. Use that shampoo from now on”you're not allowed to change it."

Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi saw his dark jacket, and knew at once that he had just left from some important event.

"Weren't you busy?"

Sheng Xiao pulled back in classic tsundere fashion. "I'm leaving then..."

"Don't go." Mu Qiqi quickly caught him. "It's so difficult for me to meet you..."

"You're not afraid of your aunt?" He cast her a sideway look.

"I am..

.but my heart can't be controlled too."

"Because it's under my control," Sheng Xiao replied.

Mu Qiqi lowered her head at those words, and mumbled, "Then what about your heart?"

Sheng Xiao pretended that he did not hear her, and leaned on her shoulder again, his eyes closed to rest. Mu Qiqi did not press him either, because she knew her affection was one-sided, and that would remain the same even if Sheng Xiao would not reciprocate.

It was a long time later when he spoke again. "Don't forget your roots and your ambition because of me."

Mu Qiqi was slightly dismayed at those words, before bringing out a small giftbox from her pocket and handed it to Sheng Xiao. "A gift for you."

"What is it?" Sheng Xiao received and opened it to find the pair of cufflinks. He looked as if he was used to it.

"I made it myself." Mu Qiqi added.

Still, even as Sheng Xiao handily put his gift into his pocket, he said instead, "Go back. Your aunt will be looking for you."
