Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 569: You Are Already Troubling Me

“It’s okay. It’s not within the scope of our job anyway.” The professor laughed. “Xiao Qiqi, you are really something. You actually met the murderer while attending a function.”

“Just a coincidence.” Mu Qiqi glanced at Sheng Xiao’s face secretly and, seeing his expression, did not dare to continue chatting with the professor. So, she hung up the phone. “This is not the way home. Where are we going now?”

“The hospital.”

Although it was only a very simple two-word answer, Mu Qiqi knew that Sheng Xiao wanted to see Grandpa Sheng.

But once they arrived at the hospital, Sheng Xiao went straight into the office of Grandpa Sheng’s doctor instead.

“Chief Sheng, I’m sorry to make you take this trip. It’s because the specialists you hired to help us have found the real cause for his two recent faintings. There is a tumor in his brain.”

Sheng Xiao looked at the CT scan image the doctor showed him.

However, he did not take it as he knew he could not read it. “Is it confirmed?”

The doctor nodded. “And there’s a possibility for it to transfer to other parts of his body. The probability of its malignancy is seventy percent.”

“Any treatment plans?”

“We’re worried that he might not be able to handle a major operation at his age. And the location of the tumor does not make the situation any better. However, I will discuss with the specialists latest by tomorrow, then I will inform you what treatment plans are possible. And then, you should make your decision as his guardian.”

Sheng Xiao’s face did not show much changes, but Mu Qiqi knew that his man was a very loving person despite his stiff face and poisonous mouth.

When Grandpa Sheng was ill, the other Shengs only thought about Huang Yao and his legacy, and only Sheng Xiao got the specialists to treat him.

They were seemingly the most mismatched grandfather and grandson. But now, Sheng Xiao was the first one to know about his illness.

Mu Qiqi grabbed Sheng Xiao’s hands to comfort him.

Sheng Xiao knew what she was thinking, so he put his hand into his pocket.

Apparently, he did not come to visit Grandpa, but to learn about his diagnosis.

“Get a treatment plan done as soon as possible, I want him to live.” Mu Qiqi could feel his seriousness when he said that.

The doctor looked at Sheng Xiao’s face and nodded. “We’ll try our best.”

Later, Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi home. But, on the way, Mu Qiqi did not talk as much as usual, which made Sheng Xiao very uncomfortable.

“What’s wrong with you today?”

“I got to know a new side of my husband today.” Mu Qiqi lay in Sheng Xiao’s arms naturally. “I always thought that you hated Grandpa from the bottom of your heart. For my sake, you fought against him and insisted on leaving the Sheng family. I always thought that there is no place for him already in your heart. But after knowing you lost your temper two days ago and seeing you here today, I know you care for your family very much. Xiaoxiao, it is not embarrassing at all to say it out loud. You act so almighty in front of the other people, but in my heart, you have emotions, and you need love and companionship.”

“Are you regretting after seeing me like this?” Sheng Xiao stroked Mu Qiqi’s hair again and again.

“Why should I? I will only love you more, because I know my man has a big heart.”

Although Sheng Xiao seemed to not be on good terms with Grandpa Sheng, Mu Qiqi knew of the softness in his heart.

Sheng Xiao hugged the little one tightly. He felt that he did not love her for nothing.

Although Grandpa Sheng was not a likeable person, and he was not planning to forgive him, he would not do anything since he knew it already. Otherwise, he would feel guilty.

Grandpa Sheng was getting bored in the hospital, so he asked Hu Ran when he could be discharged.

Right then, his doctor was making a round in his room, so he said, “Just stay for a few more days for observation or we’ll not take responsibility if you faint again.”

“You doctors only know about stealing my money. I feel alright now. Why should I stay in the hospital?”

The doctor smiled. “Old sir, just listen to me. Nothing will be wrong.”

Grandpa Sheng did not refute. Anyway, Third Brother was managing Huang Yao now, and he did not seem to have to worry about the other people in the family.

“Then I’ll stay for a few more days. If there isn’t any problem until then, you can’t stop me from leaving.”

“Old sir, just know that you have a good grandson.” The doctor hinted and left the ward, leaving behind the old man and Hu Ran in confusion.

The good grandson the doctor was referring to was obviously not Sheng Kai since he always caused a commotion every time he came to the hospital. And it was probably not Sheng Bowen because he was busy with the matters in Huang Yao these few days.

So, Grandpa Sheng guessed it might be him. But he was afraid of disappointment.

Nevertheless, for this reason, he was willing to stay for a few more days.

...

Tang Yan only came home after midnight. But Feng Shanshan was still waiting for him in the living room.

“Have you eaten?”

Tang Yan shook his head. “No time for that.”

“Then I shall reheat the food for you.”

Then, Feng Shanshan got up from the sofa and walked into the kitchen. Soon after, she served nice and hot dishes in front of Tang Yan.

“Dig in.”

Tang Yan frowned. He could not understand why she was so nice suddenly. So, sitting at the table, he simply stared at the food and did not eat it. He leaned forward at the table and asked, “Are you trying to play a trick here?”

Feng Shanshan was taken aback for a moment and sneered. “Am I?”

“Say it or I won’t eat it.”

Feng Shanshan lowered her head and opened her mouth in the end. “Look at your house. It’s so big. Living alone seems too quiet and cleaning will take a long time. And there’s no one to cook for you. Why don’t you spare me a small space to live in? I will do all the chores and cook three meals every day. What do you think? I won’t live here for free. I will do everything and pay the rent.”

Tang Yan lowered his head and kept quiet. After a while, he uttered, “No way.”

“Why?” Feng Shanshan asked. “I won’t trouble you...”

“You’re already troubling me,” said Tang Yan coldly. “I don’t like people walking here and there in front of me. It affects my thinking. Besides, I feel uncomfortable staying in my study on the days you’re here.”

Feng Shanshan did not expect Tang Yan to refuse so swiftly.

Although she felt a little frustrated, she understood where he was coming from.

She was unrelated to him anyhow. And she could not morally coerce him just because she was injured.
