Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

“The only thing I could tell you and teach you here, is that every revenge you had before is useless against a vicious killer. I know your thinking has mature and you might not necessarily believe that I’m right, but… the reason I built something so great in Zhongteng is to prevent others from getting the chance to hurt you. I could protect you best when you’re around me, but when you’re gone to where my eyes won’t reach… I’m scared.”

Having heard Sheng Xiao’s words—especially the last part, Mu Qiqi promptly embraced him. “Xiao Xiao, I know that you’re worried about me, but I need to grow too. Moreover, I’m not fearless because you have protected me, which is why I would only work under the police’s protection, and would not try anything dangerous.”

“I can’t take Xu Che with me because everyone working at the frontlines are putting their lives on the line to solve the case. Even so, I assure you that you could reach me anytime. You are here, my love, and that is why I would never allow myself to come to any harm.”

Indeed, for Sheng Xiao’s part, if Qi’er compromised and hampered her own education, he would have the feeling that he was rearing a canary and not a living being.

Whatever!

How could he bear to refuse his little one’s wishes anyway?

“You have my permission.

“Then don’t be unhappy.”

Sheng Xiao smiled helplessly. He would spoil her even if she’s kneeling.

As a matter of fact, Mu Qiqi shared the same feelings with Sheng Xiao even though she was eight years younger than he was. She was reluctant to keep taking from Sheng Xiao, just as she hoped that her man would be happy when she was with him. She wanted to spoil him too, even if there was little that she could do for him.

“That depends on your performance tonight!”

“That’s blackmail, douche.” Mu Qiqi pouted, though her heart was filled with sweetness.

After all, despite Sheng Xiao’s power, there would be moments when he was scared when he was with her.

She could not help smiling at that very thought.

“When are you leaving?”

“Day after tomorrow. The professor has some matters to settle before that, and would be leaving in the evening.”

“Then come with me to my exclusive.”

It was the weekend anyway, and that would not affect her study time.

Mu Qiqi nodded.

There was really no helping her man.

After all the Sheng family were acting like there was something exciting ahead of them and as if Xiao Xiao would soon return to their fold, and that definitely needed some fixing.

Recently at the police academy.

While training, Lin Mu’an seemed to have provoked a transfer student—and an unordinary student at that.

He had always been law-abiding at the academy and would refrain from anything exceeding the boundary of the laws. And yet, the female transfer student was at odds with Lin Mu’an on her first day in the academy, because she ruined the model he had made after much difficulty.

He made that for little pepper!

Lin Mu’an naturally fought her, and they almost alerted their instructors.

He did not feel anything good about the transfer student, just as he had the feeling that the transfer student was deliberately targeting him.

Nonetheless, Lin Mu’an’s class was left in utter shock by the next day, because the girl went up on stage to declared that she has her eyes on Lin Mu’an and no one should compete against her.

The class was thus in an uproar

Since all of them knew that Lin Mu’an didn’t have a girlfriend, it felt like a godsent that such a fair-skinned girl would have feelings for him.

What is there to be upset about?

“I have a girlfriend.” Lin Mu’an promptly answered. “Don’t waste your time on me.”

The girl shrugged, ignoring his opinion completely.

Lin Mu’an sighed. He would just have to keep his distance from her from now on.

After all, even though he was a good bro to Lu Qianqian, he never forgot his purpose in enrolling to the academy: to protect the people around him.

To protect little pepper.

He did not look forward to any school romance, and felt that there was none who could be more important than little pepper, which was why he would have to mind his own heart.

Moreover, he suspected that everything was his grandfather’s doing: placing a girl in his class, and use her to play mind games, eventually forcing him to compromise…

Lin Mu’an would never fall for that.

That was why he warned his roommates, “I am spoken for. I hope you guys could shield me a bit because I don’t want some wildflower tangled to me, and my dearest would be sad if she knew.”

His roommates gave him an ‘OK’ sign. They certainly understood his feelings, because who would not have an object of affection?

He missed little pepper a little at that, and wondered what she was doing.

At that thought, he picked up his phone and sent Lu Qianqian a message, “I made more clay people for you when I was bored a few days ago, but someone ruined it.”

“Tsk. Who could be that kindhearted? It’s not just me though, but the clay people you make are really world-class in ugly.”

“A girl.”

Lu Qianqian sat up sharply at those words. “Are you involved in a school romance?”

“I swear by all that’s good in the world, that I just want to be a good student.” Lin Mu’an replied.

Lu Qianqian breathed a sigh in relief, even though every fiber of her being was screaming with danger.

She never thought that Lin Mu’an could get a girlfriend at the academy, which was why her heart felt stuck and extremely upset when she heard him say ‘girl’.

“Then… should I go visit you? It’s been some time since I went to your school…”

“Sure.” Lin Mu’an replied immediately.

However, Lu Qianqian suddenly felt uneasy at his reply. Who was she to Lin Mu’an? Why would he have to tell her where he was or who he was with?

Nonetheless, Lin Mu’an had offered that information on his own, which was not all too special a matter to him.

“I’ll bring the stuff you like to eat tomorrow.

After that, Lin Mu’an put away his phone and was rather relieved. But as a man capable of living and breathing at the same time, he knew that he needed to ask for help.

And the only people who could help him now was Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao.

In fact, Mu Qiqi thought that it was quite rare since she had not gotten a call from him for a long time.

“You actually remembered to call? What’s up?”

“I want to ask the Crown Prince to dig out information about a certain person.” Lin Mu’an promptly said. “I know it would be very easy for Sheng Xiao.”

He had never been that serious in Mu Qiqi’s impression of him, and so she quickly agreed.

“Just remember to treat me to a meal.”

“You rich folk. Why are you people always thinking about squeezing the poor dry?”
