Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 36: She Likes Him Very Much.

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Beneath the bed lamp, Sheng Xiao turned the pages of Mu Qiqi’s diary.

The truth was that he has butterflies in his stomach. He had never once done such a thing that he, the Crown Prince of Huang Yao, considered lowly.

Even so, a diary was a different story altogether, because it held a person’s most private affairs as well as their darkest thoughts.

That was why he flipped at once to the last page and did not spare a single glance at the contents in front!

It turned out that Mu Qiqi’s last entry was about holding hands at the beach.

In that single instant, each one of Mu Qiqi’s thoughts were exposed to Sheng Xiao, leaving him even more assured of the little one’s affection.

She liked him...and very much so.

As for the ‘he’ she noted in the diary...

He recognized it while others might not have, because those were the things they had experienced together. It would have been impossible for him to not know that she was talking about him.

Still, after a single look at the last page, Sheng Xiao closed the diary, changed his clothes, and called up Jing Yun in the middle of the night.

He wanted to go to Mu Qiqi’s classroom in Eaton.

Jing Yun had no idea why he was behaving like that, but he immediately notified the school principal as ordered.

Hence, Sheng Xiao entered the school without anyone noticing. He found Mu Qiqi’s desk and placed the stationery and the diary under it.

Jing Yun watched as Sheng Xiao did so outside the classroom and suddenly thought that he was becoming even more doting on Mu Qiqi.

It was midnight, and yet he would take the trip just to return her diary.

“Young master, it’s time to leave.” Jing Yun then reminded him.

They left the classroom quietly as if nothing happened.

However, on the way back, Jing Yun could not help but ask, “Young master, you could have let me do it.”

Sheng Xiao was leaning on his back seat with his eyes closed, but his voice was very cold. “But can I still trust you, Jing Yun?”

Jing Yun was stunned and could not say a word. Sheng Xiao had struck a nerve, and it was after a long time that he told him what he thought.

“Young master, we grew up together. You know me well.”

“I used to, but that’s not necessarily the case now!” Sheng Xiao straightened, glaring at Jing Yun from the rearview mirror. “I know you don’t like Mu Qiqi and your heart says that it is only right that I do everything for the Sheng family. That is why the one you’re serving is the Sheng family and not me, and you’ve changed to the point that we can no longer connect.”

Jing Yun was dumbstruck.

Despite Sheng Xiao’s free-spirited and self-indulgent appearance, he was a person with delicate thoughts.

That was why he would return Mu Qiqi’s diary personally—he no longer trusted Jing Yun. After all, what would his assistant do to her after he read what was inside?

He had only read the last page himself, and while he looked fearsome and no one should provoke him, respect towards those he cherished was ingrained in his very bones.

On that night, the master and servant were polar opposites in thought. And yet, Sheng Xiao never demanded that Jing Yun fully support Mu Qiqi because he never liked such a stance.

Loyalty that was insincere meant nothing, however one would force in their demands!

In fact, Jing Yun himself could tell that Sheng Xiao no longer valued him. After all, he had only ever been pessimistic about Mu Qiqi.

The next morning, Mu Qiqi was breaking in cold sweat when she couldn’t find her diary while packing her school bag.

It was her most private belonging that would cause trouble no matter who would stumble upon it. Could she have dropped it in Xiaoxiao’s car?

She might even have forgotten to place it in her bag!

Still, it was best not to ask Xiaoxiao.

She had no appetite for breakfast at all, and simply held her phone and left straight for school.

When Qian Qian found her fumbling madly through her own desk, she asked, “What happened? Did you drop something?”

“My diary.” Mu Qiqi said.

“Well, look thoroughly.” Qian Qian quickly helped her and took out everything inside her desk.

“Lucky me!” Mu Qiqi breathed a huge sigh of relief when she found the brown diary tucked safely in the drawer.

“At least you got it back now.”

Fortunately, no one—especially Xiaoxiao—saw it. She would not know how to face him if he had.

That was when Mu Qiqi thought that she should not write a diary from now on. What if someone stumbled upon it? Wouldn’t her secrets be known to everyone?

Since classes had yet to start, Mu Qiqi simply tore it into pieces and dumped what remained of it into the trash can.

She thought that Mu Tangxue would be absent again, given how humiliated she was on her own birthday.

However, her twin arrived just before lessons began, looking ever miserable and enfolding herself tightly in layers.

“Just look at her. Does she think she’s not going to be a laughing stock just because she keeps herself all wrapped up? Talk about burying herself in the sand...”

Mu Qiqi nudged Qian Qian so that she wouldn’t talk too loudly. “I wouldn’t provoke her unless necessary. You could just watch the show.”

Qian Qian nodded, but did not notice the look on Mu Tangxue’s face.

She was actually ill. All she did for the day was have a lie down in class looking sickly, skipping P.E. class.

Not even Mu Qiqi was interested in bullying her in that state. Even so, she had the feeling that Mu Tangxue was definitely not going to let go after what had happened during the birthday party. But what could she be planning?

When school ended, Mama Mu was at the school gates personally to bring Mu Tangxue home.

Mu Qiqi saw her own mother from afar but simply walked past her, pretending as if she did not know her.

The other students were no longer too concerned about Mu Qiqi and her relationship with the Mu family. Gossiping for a brief time about such things was totally enough.

Naturally, some of them would occasionally mention that birthday as a joke, since Qian Qian and their other classmates did take photos of Mu Qiqi’s scandalous moment.

However, all those things had nothing to do with Mu Qiqi.

Even after she got home, all she thought about was whether Xiaoxiao was going to meet her tonight again.

After all, he did come to see her for two days.

That being said, out of those two days, one was her birthday while the other was Christmas. He was mostly busy on normal days.

It was late at night when Mu Qiqi sent Sheng Xiao a message on her own since she heard nothing from him.

[Are you asleep?]

Sheng Xiao’s reply took no more than a beat.

[You should sleep. I’m overseas.]

Though Mu Qiqi disappointed, Sheng Xiao did tell her about that. How could his life revolve around hers when he was that busy?

“Well...you should rest early too.” With the message sent, Mu Qiqi leapt into bed with the Christmas mittens Sheng Xiao had given her and dozed off in less than a moment.

She certainly didn’t expect the huge surprise waiting for her tomorrow.
