Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 53

"Xiao...Brother Xiao."

Sheng Xiao was sitting in the living room at the moment, flipping through various TV channels.

"Wash your hands, it's time for dinner." Su Zipei stepped out from the kitchen, calling out to Mu Qiqi when she entered before returning to the kitchen.

Mu Qiqi walked to Sheng Xiao and held his hand sneakily, letting go in an instant because she was afraid that Su Zipei would notice.

"I'll go change."

Sheng Xiao gestured for her to hurry, an indulgent look lurking just beneath his eyes.

Soon, Mu Qiqi had changed and headed downstairs. Su Zipei had everything ready and Sheng Xiao was sitting at the dinner table as well.

"Thank you, Young Master Sheng. Qiqi would've definitely been given a hard time if not for you," Su Zipei told him as she sat. "Look at you”spending the money and the manpower...we really don't know how to repay you."

"It's okay. Qiqi can pay me later," Sheng Xiao said simply, which sounded as if the debt could wait until Mu Qiqi started to work as an adult.

Only both himself and Mu Qiqi knew its deeper meaning, which was why Mu Qiqi blushed.

To hide her red face, she hid herself behind her bowl, pretending to be hungry and eating quickly.

"Slow down, kiddo."

Sheng Xiao turned to grin at her and began to eat nonchalantly as well, while Mu Qiqi finished her meal soon enough and quickly told the other two, "I'm finished. I'm going to study upstairs."

"Young Master Sheng, please understand...you've spoiled the child!"

"Good," Sheng Xiao simply replied, although his words had another meaning. "I did say that I hope that she would strut in Jianchuan."

"That won't do. You are going to have a family eventually...

you can't stay by her side forever. Young Master Sheng, you have done enough for us and we couldn't ask for more, and I'm absolutely willing to dedicate my life to you."

Sheng Xiao did not answer. It would be right to say that he did not need a dedication in the future since that was too far ahead.

Right now, the reward he wanted was Mu Qiqi and nothing else.

Soon, Sheng Xiao finished his dinner and left as well. Since it was a little early, he returned to Huang Yao to do some work before returning outside the little mansion at around nine.

Mu Qiqi sneaked out the door and into his car when she received his text.

This time, they drove off not to amusement parks or woods, but to the highest peak of Jianchuan to enjoy the night view.

They had to stay in the car because it was too cold, but Mu Qiqi was extremely thrilled with the overlooking view of the city.

"Xiaoxiao..."

Sheng Xiao said nothing, and simply pulled her to himself.

She sat on him, her hands wrapping over his neck. None of them spoke as they enjoyed the intimate moment.

"Get into the faculty of engineering in Sheng Ting, and I'll have a place to stay ready for you," Sheng Xiao suddenly spoke.

"What?" Mu Qiqi heard and understood, but was in such disbelief she tried to confirm it.

"I won't repeat myself." Sheng Xiao never had such patience.

"Is...is that a promise to me?" Mu Qiqi summoned her courage to ask him. "Can I think of it that way?"

Sheng Xiao moved closer without sparing her room to escape and looked in the eyes. "Did you think that you could run?"

"I'm not running...but are we cohabiting when I attend university?"

Sheng Xiao could not help but laugh at her words, leaving her utterly enchanted.
