Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 9

"Our girl sleeps early..."

Sheng Xiao was ready to leave, but Mu Qiqi seemed to have heard the car ignition starting, and promptly switched on the lights before dashing to the window for a look.

Sheng Xiao saw her. He turned off the ignition.

In the next split second, Mu Qiqi appeared before him in her pajamas. "You're here? Did you saw my message?"

"Young lady, what phone are you using?" Sheng Xiao locked his car and entered the living room with Mu Qiqi in tow.

She was a little nervous as she watched his huge frame”her cheeks were red, her heart beating furiously.

"I learned tennis and it turns out I'm quite good at it," she said from his back. "But you must be busy”you won't be interested in me saying such things, but... I just know that you that you like to play."

Sheng Xiao turned around to look at her then. He settled onto the sofa and gestured for her to come closer.

But just as she took two steps towards him, he caught her hand and said, "You don't have to please me. I'm not from the Mu family”I won't simply throw away things that belong to me."

"I'm not... a thing!" Mu Qiqi retorted, frowning. "I'm a person."

Sheng Xiao could not help teasing her in return. "Anyway, I'll play tennis with you when I'm done with my work. There'll be punishment if you suck."

"What punishment?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Go to bed, there's still school tomorrow." Sheng Xiao released her and urged her to return upstairs. "By the way, although you definitely didn't do well in the mock exam, you should remember that your goal isn't Mu Tangxue”it's yourself."

Mu Qiqi took a deep breath even as she gazed upon Sheng Xiao's handsomely captivating face, afraid that she would forget to breathe.

"Well, I'm off to bed...

"

"Alright." Sheng Xiao nodded.

He still had to return home after visiting the girl. He was definitely going to reclaim his freedom when that geezer recovers for some skiing in New Zealand.

He could even consider bringing the girl along then.

By the time he left the small mansion, Mu Qiqi, whom he thought had gone to bed was actually hiding behind the stairs. She only returned to her room when he was gone, leaping into her large, soft bed.

She felt she had become closer to Sheng Xiao once again.

It was almost euphoric!

She was slowly bonding with her classmates, becoming cheerful and energetic in a brief three months and a leader in studies.

Quick-witted and easily understanding new things, she was also active in sports”even enduring what others could not stand for whatever she wanted to learn.

But that was not enough. For Sheng Xiao, the Mu Qiqi he wanted was one who could lift her chin when facing others and refuse anything she disliked, even strutting.

At the same time, Sheng Xiao understood well that sufficient confidence was needed so that Mu Qiqi could become that proud, but he must also be the one to grant that support.

The Mu family had hurt her too much, and she was also often worrying about what she gained or lost. It was clear from how much effort she was putting that she feared Sheng Xiao would abandon her.

Soon, it was the national mock exams once more.

This time, Mu Qiqi was ready.

With her strong fundamentals, she easily reached the top fifteen in national rankings, surpassing Mu Tangxue by a wide margin.
