Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 738: So There Really Was a Gift

When Mu Qiqi returned to her seat, Sheng Xiao tilted his head and looked at her. “Aren’t you happy today?”

“Why do you ask?” Mu Qiqi was very surprised.

“Don’t tell me that I don’t know you well. Isn’t this the type of scene you like the most?” Sheng Xiao had handsome features. When he lowered his head, he carried the light behind him, giving off a strong sense of oppression. This made Mu Qiqi feel a little overwhelmed.

“If you know I like it, then don’t say it out loud,” Mu Qiqi said in a low voice.

“Where’s my gift?”

Mu Qiqi reached out and pinched Sheng Xiao’s thigh under the table. “Now is not the time for you to ask for a gift...”

Sheng Xiao smiled calmly. He did not chase away the small hand that was harassing his leg. Instead, he continued to chat with Old Master Shen.

The lunch continued. The guests expressed their pleasure at attending the event today. After watching a good show, it made people believe that the future Huang Yao would definitely be more brilliant and outstanding than when Old Master Sheng was in charge.

..

On the other side, Gu Ziling had selfishly drove the car away, leaving Sheng Kai with no choice but to grab a taxi home.

He knew that he had disappointed Gu Ziling’s family today, but he still had to rely on her to turn things around.

Therefore, even though he had been shamed, he still returned to Gu Ziling’s home. However, even the servants at home wouldn’t look at him now.

Gu Ziling sat on the sofa and complained bitterly to her mother, “Mom, I feel that my life is really tough. Why did I marry such a man?”

Those were harsh words, but Sheng Kai could still tolerate it.

“Ziling...”

“You’ve lost your whole family’s face. You’d better wait for Grandpa’s decision when he comes back. I’m extremely disappointed in you now!” After saying that, Gu Ziling got up from the sofa and went back to the bedroom angrily.

Mama Gu glanced at Sheng Kai and shook her head helplessly. “I really don’t know why I agreed to marry Ziling to you in the first place.”

Sheng Kai did not say anything and went to the garden dejectedly.

He knew that there was no place for him in this house, but he had nowhere else to go.

He had planned everything very well. Even Mu Qiqi had said that if Gu Ziling had not gone to Hu Ran, Sheng Xiao would not have found out about this at all. But in the end? Gu Ziling had blamed him for everything. If he was not living under her roof, he would have kicked Gu Ziling away long ago.

Why was it that out of all the descendants of the Sheng family, he was the only one who lived in such a miserable state...

He was not satisfied!

..

After a busy day, Old Master Sheng wanted peace and quiet. So, after sending off all the guests, he said to Sheng Bowen and the others, “You guys go too. Go and fall in love. Let me go fishing with Old Shen.”

Sheng Bowen smiled and said, “Then we really have to go. You can follow Old Shen home.”

“Let’s go. Let’s go quickly.”

Old Master Sheng was so annoyed that he held his forehead.

He didn’t want to be like this again after his birthday.

Sheng Bowen glanced at Old Master Sheng and pulled Ren Yufei to turn around. He walked to Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi. “Eighth Brother, fancy a drink?”

“No, I want to go home.” Sheng Xiao then pulled Mu Qiqi into the car.

Why? Because a certain someone was in a hurry to get his gift.

Sheng Bowen was baffled. In the end, he could only say to Ren Yufei, “Since they’re ignoring us, we can go to the movies by ourselves. Shall we?”

“I’m fine with anything.” Ren Yufei touched her arm and smiled. “Besides, you don’t really want to drink with Qiqi at all.”

“Have I been seen through?” Sheng Bowen laughed heartily. Then, he pulled Ren Yufei into his arms and whispered in her ear, “I just want to pretend to be crazy and get some benefits.”

Ren Yufei’s face turned red, but she didn’t push Sheng Bowen away because she enjoyed the intimacy and sweetness of being in a relationship. She also longed to have an intimate kiss with this man.

“Come on, let’s go watch a movie.”

Mu Qiqi sat in the car and looked at the two of them hugging each other on the side of the road. She was extremely envious, so she turned to look at her man and said, “It’s been a long time since we hugged each other like that. We’re an old married couple now. Is there no passion left?”

A certain someone did not speak and just closed his eyes to take a nap.

“A married man... He’s starting to pay attention to his image and starting to dislike his wife.”

Sheng Xiao still did not move.

However, just as Mu Qiqi was about to continue nagging, Sheng Xiao suddenly pressed her against the back of the backrest and forcefully sealed her thin lips with his.

Just as Mu Qiqi was about to speak, Sheng Xiao bit her lower lip to stop her.

The two of them kissed like this all the way until they reached the door. Mu Qiqi’s lips were so swollen that no one else should see them.

In order not to be discovered by Mama Sheng, Mu Qiqi ran straight to the bedroom. This made Mama Sheng and Papa Sheng ask Sheng Xiao, “What’s wrong, Xiao Qi?”

“Nothing. I’m in a hurry to go to the bathroom.”

“Your father and I didn’t go today. I think we missed a good show. That kid, your second brother, is really a surprising one.”

Sheng Xiao exchanged a few words with Mama Sheng before he hurried back to the bedroom. However, there was no trace of anxiety on his face.

Mu Qiqi stuffed herself under the blanket and planned to ignore this man for the entire night because her lips were really hurting.

“A married woman... has completely forgotten the way she was willing to fly into a flame when she was secretly in love. If it were in the past, no matter how much I kissed you, you wouldn’t be angry,” Sheng Xiao sat by the bed and said this in a deliberate vengeful tone.

Mu Qiqi snorted coldly under the blanket.

Sheng Xiao shook his head and did not say anything else. He took his bathrobe and went to the bathroom.

Mu Qiqi heard nothing from outside for a long time, so she stuck her head out to take a look. She realized that the darn man had actually gone to take a shower by himself.

She took the opportunity to get her school bag. Then, she took out a small, exquisite box. Without Sheng Xiao’s eyes on her, she snuck into the study and placed the box on his desk.

Sheng Xiao had treated the cufflinks she had given him before like a treasure.

It was because she had given this man too little.

She had carved this thing herself. Although it was not as exquisite as those sold outside, it was her entire heart.

After she had quietly put the things away, she returned to the bed as if nothing had happened. She waited for the man to come out of the bathroom before she went in to take a shower.

He had a habit of staying in the study for a while every day. Today was no exception.

Sheng Xiao followed his routine and entered the study, wrapped in a black bathrobe. Sure enough, his gaze instantly landed on the small wooden box on the table.

It was similar to the big box that she had given to the old man during the day. From the outside, it looked ordinary.

Sheng Xiao’s lips curled slightly. Seems like he should have this little one drunk more often in the future...

So there really was a gift.
