Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Mu Qiqi was shocked. She was holding her phone, but she did not know how to reply to the message for now. After quite some time, she gathered her courage and replied to Sheng Xiao.

“Sure.”

If it was not Sheng Xiao who told her she should return to her real family, she would not want to get involved with a rich family again.

“Jing Yun will come and fetch you tonight. Don’t be nervous, okay?” replied Sheng Xiao.

“I am not,” replied Sheng Xiao.

You would feel nervous when you have expectations of someone. However, it was obvious that she had no expectation of the Shen family.

“I will rush over after I get my job done.”

“Okay.”

Mu Qiqi sent a one-word reply. But she was still reluctant to return to the Shen family. Because once the Shen family knew about her existence and asked her to move in with them, wouldn’t it mean that she would lose her chance to meet Sheng Xiao?

Of course, when she promised to meet Grandpa Mu, it meant that she believed that Sheng Xiao would take care of this matter for her. She was only curious about how he would solve the problem.

When Su Zipei saw her being out of sort, she quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Mu Qiqi replied, “Xiaoxiao told me that Grandpa Shen wants to meet me.”

“If Grandpa Shen wants to see you, you can just go. Qiqi, you are a member of the Shen family, this is a fact,” said Su Zipei. She had the same thought as Sheng Xiao. Although Mu Qiqi looked strong as if she did not need a family after Mama Mu died, Grandpa Mu was in fact her family. And fortunately, she still had a father.

“I know.” Mu Qiqi nodded and returned to her room.

“Is something bothering her?” Su Zipei was worried seeing Mu Qiqi being so down.

Lu Wenhua knew what was bothering Mu Qiqi. So, he explained, “If Qiqi returns to the Shen family, her relationship with Sheng Xiao would change. How can she not worry about that?”

“She does not have to worry at all. Sheng Xiao will definitely make sure things will not change when he makes such an arrangement.”

Su Zipei trusted Sheng Xiao.

In the evening, Mu Qiqi changed into an aqua blue dress and got into Jing Yun’s car.

This seemed to be the first time Mu Qiqi was alone with Jing Yun in the same space. Mu Qiqi knew it all along that Jing Yun did not really like her much. So, on the way to the hospital, they were very awkward with each other. Mu Qiqi wanted to find a topic to talk about, but she did not think Jing Yun might want to talk to her.

“Miss Qiqi, I know what you are thinking about. But since I choose to be on the young master’s side, I will help you wholeheartedly.”

“He likes you and he chooses you. He doesn’t even mind going against the whole world. So, I will not let him fight alone. I hope that you will not let him fight alone as well. This is the happiness of the two of you.”

“What do you mean?” Mu Qiqi did not quite understand him.

“You know that it is very difficult to marry into the Sheng family. Young Master Sheng does not mind you having no background and will grant you any wish, but since you are a Shen, you should act like one and stand firm in the Shen family. Then, when your relationship with him is exposed, the Sheng family will not ridicule and embarrass him. Do you understand?”

“Although, I don’t know how he will overcome this obstacle with this uncle-niece relationship of yours in the family.”

“I understand what you mean,” replied Mu Qiqi seriously. “I will do my best to stand firm in the Shen family. I can sacrifice anything to be with Xiaoxiao.”

“Remember what you said today.”

Deep in her mind, Mu Qiqi reminded herself countlessly.

Although there might be things that she was incapable of, dislike or unwilling to do, she would still try her best for Sheng Xiao’s sake. Because she knew that it was not an easy task if she wanted to be with Sheng Xiao forever. Unless, they did not want approval from anyone.

However, Xiaoxiao was an outstanding man—the crown prince of Huang Yao. Mu Qiqi did not want Sheng Xiao to lose his glory. He ought to stand at the highest and most dazzling place.

They reached the hospital shortly. Jing Yun led Mu Qiqi to Shen Jianchuan’s ward. When they entered the room, Grandpa Shen was wiping his son’s body.

“Mr. Shen, she is here.”

Grandpa Shen put down the towel and turned around. He saw Mu Qiqi.

Mu Qiqi and Mu Tangxue looked very much alike. But oddly enough, they were completely different.

Their biggest difference was their eyes. Mu Qiqi now looked confused and was at a loss. That should be the reaction for a normal person. Unlike Mu Tangxue, she cried and could call him ‘Grandpa’ straightaway.

“Old Mr. Shen,” Mu Qiqi greeted him politely with a bow. But Grandpa Shen frowned when he heard the way she addressed him.

“Your sister does not address me this way. She calls me ‘Grandpa’ so affectionately.”

“She can call you that way so easily because she is not sincere at all. I believe you will not want it anyway,” explained Mu Qiqi.

“You are such an interesting girl,” said Grandpa Shen, laughing. He pointed at her and said to Jing Yun, “I want to talk to her in private.”

“Then I shall leave,” said Jing Yun. Then, he looked at Mu Qiqi and wished her the best of luck.

Mu Qiqi remained silent and walked to the bed. Then, she looked at the thin man lying on the bed.

“He is your father, who has been living like a dead man for all these years.”

“Old Mr. Shen, I am not a sweet talker. I do not know what to say to comfort you…”

Grandpa Shen chuckled. He studied Mu Qiqi from top to bottom. When he saw the tattoo on her earlobe, he frowned with disapproval.

“Why did you get a tattoo at such a young age? It is not pretty.”

Mu Qiqi touched her earlobe and chuckled. She said, “Come to think of it, it was all because of a dream. I dreamt that Mu Tangxue pretended to be me and did all kinds of vicious things. That is why I got this tattoo, so that we can look very different.”

“You are very different from her. You are my family and she is not!” said Grandpa Shen seriously. He stared at Mu Qiqi, then he turned around and continued wiping his son’s arm.

“I can feel that you are wary of me. Can I know why?”

“I do not know you yet. Maybe I will relax more when I get to understand you.”

Grandpa Shen nodded and said, “We can meet frequently in the future. Until the time you are back in the Shen family, you will not be so rigid.”

“What should I say to you? If you can be half as cunning as Mu Tangxue, you will not be bullied to this extent!”

“But look at you now, you are very much like me when I was young.”

When Mu Qiqi was about to speak, Sheng Xiao appeared behind them.

All in all, he was worried that Mu Qiqi might not be able to handle this old man.
