Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Sheng Xiao sent Mu Qiqi to Jing Ting on his own. Then only did he go to Huang Yao. On the way, Jing Yun reported Huang Yao’s current situation to Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao ordered Jing Yun, “Let’s deal with the most pressing matters first this afternoon.”

“Young Master, you should be concerned with the relationship between your parents as well. They are not on good terms because of you.” Jing Yun reminded Sheng Xiao.

“I got it.”

Because he knew, that was why he went to see his mother once he reached the company.

“Mom…”

“I know you will be back soon.” Mama Sheng squeezed a smile. “Now, you are the CEO of Huang Yao.”

“Dad…”

“Don’t bother,” Mama Sheng said stiffly, “I am just disappointed with him.”

“That means you still have feelings for him.”

Mama Sheng did not say anything because Sheng Xiao had pointed out the truth. So, after he left her office, Sheng Xiao called his father.

Papa Sheng had booked a ticket to leave the country that night. But after the call, he was no longer in a rush to leave.

Because Sheng Xiao was right.

Now that Huang Yao was well known in the country, they had the assets to expand their business globally. That was why all the Shengs wanted so much to come and get a slice of the pie. If Papa Sheng stayed, he would not be able to control them. So, it was better for Sheng Xiao to take over while Papa Sheng was abroad building the business overseas. By then, Papa Sheng and Sheng Xiao would be the bosses of the whole Huang Yao.

Upon hearing these, Papa Sheng felt that it made sense. He knew what his capability was.

It was better to let his son be the one in charge rather than to be forced to give Huang Yao to his brothers, wasn’t it?

So, Papa Sheng agreed to Sheng Xiao’s suggestion happily.

“You were not interested in this position before, why now?”

“Nothing particular. It’s just for fun.”

To put it bluntly, after being tricked by that old man, he learned that only when he had power, he could protect Qi’er. So, why didn’t he try to get it?

But he only wanted to keep this answer to himself.

When the staff in Huang Yao saw Sheng Xiao making his appearance in the company, they regained their motivation. All the departments became energetic once more.

Although Sixth Brother was unwilling to admit, in Huang Yao, only skills mattered.

The first thing Sheng Xiao did in the office was to take care of the most important business contracts. Sheng Xiao showed Sixth Brother all the moves, the words, and the negotiating skills he did not have to solve the problems.

Sixth Brother felt defeated and left the office. After causing so much trouble, not only did he not find his sister, but he also let Grandpa lose ten percent of his shares.

It was indeed a great loss…

Seeing Sheng Xiao got back some important collaboration with the other companies in just one afternoon, Grandpa Sheng felt relieved although he was still a bit upset. However, Mu Qiqi was still a thorn in his heart.

…

Late at night, Jing Yun was too busy with his work in Huang Yao and missed the time to pick Sheng Minglan up from work. Sheng Minglan knew that Sheng Xiao had returned to Huang Yao. So, she did not call Jing Yun and stayed in her office.

When the new assistant saw Sheng Minglan had no intention to get off work, he knocked on her door and said, “CEO Sheng, I think I will take a few days off next month.”

“Why?”

“I am getting married,” he said, “I have been courting my girlfriend for eight years. So, we are planning to get married.”

“Then… I wish you happiness.”

“You should step up as well.”

Sheng Minglan flushed and nodded.

Soon, Jing Yun reached Sheng Minglan’s office. But the sky was dark already. “I’m sorry that I’m late. Let’s have some dinner now.”

“Jing Yun, let’s go to my house tonight.” Sheng Minglan suggested awkwardly. “Although we are together now, I feel that you spend less time with me alone because you want to avoid suspicion. Are you afraid?”

Jing Yun’s face was stiff. After a while, he said, “I’m afraid that I cannot control myself.”

Sheng Minglan knew what he meant and flushed. “We are partners. Just go with your feelings. Why must you control it?”

Jing Yun kept mum. They have finally come to an agreement.

Later, the couple was in Sheng Minglan’s house. Sheng Minglan retrieved the slippers she had prepared for Jing Yun in advance and put it in front of him. “These are for you.”

Jing Yun changed out of his shoes into the slippers. And Sheng Minglan put on the apron. “I will make some food. You can rest first.”

“I’ll help.” Jing Yun took off his jacket and pulled up his sleeves. The two went into the kitchen.

The vibe was very good. It was as if they had been together for a long time. They cooperated seamlessly. It was just that when Jing Yun looked at Sheng Minglan’s back, he couldn’t help but hug her.

Sheng Minglan was startled and laughed. “So, is it that you already cannot control yourself?”

“Yes.” Jing Yun put his chin on her shoulder.

“Today, my new assistant came to ask for a leave. He is getting married.” Sheng Minglan smiled. “So, I suddenly feel like getting married as well.”

Jing Yun was stiff.

“Did I scare you? Yeah right, you shouldn’t want to marry me. But it’s just that if we want to wait for the right time, I don’t know how many years we will have to wait. That’s why I suddenly have this idea. Why don’t we just register our marriage in secret. Even if Grandpa wants to stop us, there is nothing he can do already.”

“I don’t want you to suffer. And I don’t want you to get married in secret,” said Jing Yun.

“Jing Yun, have you ever wanted to look for your family?”

Jing Yun shook his head. His memories before Sheng Minglan brought him back to the Sheng family were scattered.

“Perhaps, let me help you.”

Jing Yun did not say anything and kept on hugging Sheng Minglan. After dinner, Sheng Minglan did not let Jing Yun leave. “Just… move in with me.”

Jing Yun was totally dumbfounded this time.

Sheng Minglan saw his face and asked, “You don’t want to?”

“I just think that it’s happening too fast.”

“You’ve liked me for more than ten years already. Our progress is too slow considering this. Do you still want to waste more time? Now, I just want to stick with you. Not just the time after getting off work, I also want to be with you at night.”

How could Jing Yun reject her offer?

“I… am a neat person. I am tidy. I will be a very good… roommate,” said Jing Yun after a long silence.

In fact, he felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart. Even if he was to be sent to hell in the future, he would not complain.

As Sheng Minglan said, they had been having feelings for each other for so many years. And they had just started hugging each other now. Their progress was too slow, wasn’t it?
