Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Lu Qianqian felt that he was right after she heard that. She replayed the video and watched it several times. At last, she realized that Jing Yun was looking at a place with a sad face.

 “Why didn’t you record the entire scene?”

 “It’s easy. I’ll go and get the CCTV footage from the hotel if I want to know what he was looking at. But, I feel that it’s none of my business.” Lin Mu’an had never liked to dig into others’ secrets.

 “That’s true.” Lu Qianqian could understand how Jing Yun wanted to hide his secret from everyone. “You enjoy yourself there. I’m satisfied now after I’ve seen how beautiful Qiqi is.”

 “Where’re you going in the afternoon? I’ll come and accompany you.” Suddenly, an idea sparked in his mind. “Grandpa is drunk today. He wouldn’t notice if I’m gone.”

 “I’m being bullied by my couch.” Lu Qianqian scoffed. “I’m practicing fencing.”

 “Tell me the address. I’ll come right away…”

 Li Mu’an sneaked away from the engagement ceremony when his grandpa was falling asleep. There were a lot of beautiful young ladies but he did not even bother about them. On the contrary, he was more willing to be with Lu Qianqian even though she would be soaked in sweat.

 It was around three or four in the afternoon. Sheng Xiao left the hotel room energetically. He took over from Fourth Sister and greeted his special guest.

 Sheng Xiao could not help but ask after noticing how much the prince enjoyed talking with his cousin. “Do you like Asian women?”

 “Your elder sister… is a beautiful and graceful woman.”

 “Do you want to deepen your relationship with her?”

 Charlie shrugged. Then, he patted Sheng Xiao’s shoulders. “I’m heading back to my country. I hope that I’ll be able to meet you at your wedding ceremony in the future. Your little bride is rather cute.”

 “If you’re interested in her, you could contact me anytime you like.” Sheng Xiao accompanied him to the helicopter. He even shook hands with the prince.

 “It’s interesting getting to know you. I’m eager to meet you again.”

 Sheng Xiao smiled and waved goodbye at him. If the prince liked Fourth Sister, it would certainly be a wonderful marriage for them. Hence, Sheng Xiao soon asked Fourth Sister after Charlie had taken his leave, “Are you interested in becoming the princess of Northern Europe?”

 Fourth Sister patted his hand. “I’m not interested.”

 “I thought that there’s something going on between the two of you…”

 “Do you want me to live so far away from you?”

 Sheng Xiao shrugged. A faint smile crept onto his handsome face. “Do you think that Grandpa is unaware of what happened just now? I’m afraid that you’ll be his next target.”

 “I did this for your sake.” Fourth Sister stared at Sheng Xiao. “Where’s Qiqi?”

 “She’s still sleeping. Moreover, Grandpa is coming our way. Do you think that he’s going to talk about Charlie with you?”

 Sheng Xiao gestured to her with his chin. Fourth Sister looked over and saw that Grandpa Sheng was indeed looking at her.

 “Minglan, come here.”

 Fourth Sister looked at Sheng Xiao helplessly. Then, she went toward Grandpa Sheng and they stepped away to another place to have a little chat.

 Grandpa Sheng was sure that it was going to be real soon. He had planned out everything in his mind now. “I’ll ask somebody to get more information about the prince without Sheng Xiao’s knowledge. You just get prepared to be the princess.”

 “Grandpa, do you want me to live so far away from you?”

 “It’s not a big deal. Besides that, you’re not young now.”

 As a member of the Sheng family, Fourth Sister knew that she could not decide upon her own marriage. Although Sheng Xiao was engaged to Qiqi now, it was still unknown whether Qiqi could be married to him at the end. Who dared to resist Grandpa Sheng?

 It would mean falling to hell and abandoning all the wealth which belonged to the Sheng family. Furthermore, they needed to bow down to fate and endured being suppressed by the Sheng family for the rest of their lives.

 Fourth Sister remained speechless. But, she was unhappy about it. Her eyes even became teary. Jing Yun was sad too when he saw that. At that moment, he held the handkerchief in his hand but he was unsure as to how to give it to her.

 Sheng Xiao realized that Fourth Sister did not have that kind of notion. So, he would not bring it up in front of Charlie. If not, Grandpa Sheng would try his best to achieve his aim.

 Grandpa Sheng spent his whole life to control the others’ lives but he never could do the same with Sheng Xiao.

 After that, Sheng Xiao went to the hotel room and woke his little one up. He even received a call from Su Zipei there. She told him that she was unable to attend the ceremony given that the doctor had advised her to rest in bed.

 Sheng Xiao consoled her that the entire ceremony had been recorded and he could send it to her later on. Hence, she would not feel regretful about not attending.

 Mu Qiqi was sleeping soundly in the hotel room. Her arms were bare. Sheng Xiao lifted her up from among the blankets and helped her to put on the dress. “It’ll soon be the time for the dinner party. I’ll ask the others to help you to touch-up your makeup.”

 “It’s your fault.” Mu Qiqi threw a few punches on his chest. He knew that it was their big day. How could he make her do that? It seemed like he could not wait until night fell.

 “If you don’t want to walk, I could lift you up and put you in my arms for the rest of the night.”

 After Mu Qiqi heard that, she soon became much more energetic. She got up immediately. “I want to wash my face and touch-up my makeup.”

 “Certainly, I have all kinds of ways to deal with you…”

 Sheng Xiao smiled and pinched Mu Qiqi’s nose. Then, he got up and allowed the makeup artist to enter the hotel room.

 In that instant, Fourth Sister was having a breakdown in the room alone because she was being manipulated and forced into a marriage by Grandpa. She was drinking wine in the room all by herself.

 Jing Yun had learned about that. He swiftly went to her room and knocked on the door. “Miss Sheng…”

 Fourth Sister opened the door after a long while. She smiled when she saw Jing Yun before her. “It’s you, Jing Yun…Come in.”

 “I…I think that it’s best if I stay outside of your room.” Jing Yun said so for fear that the others might misunderstand Fourth Sister. “Women shouldn’t be drinking too much alcohol. It’s harmful.”

 “Who cares?” Fourth Sister laughed in spite of herself. Then, she said, “Go and do your stuff. I’ll come later on.”

 “Fine.”

 After that, Jing Yun closed the door for her but he did not leave the room. It was because he knew how dangerous it was for a woman who was drunk in the hotel. So, he remained standing there in front of the hotel room, guarding Fourth Sister’s safety. It appeared like he was a nobody whom no one cared about. It was because he did not know how he could help Fourth Sister and he had no way to stop her from marrying anybody.

 Sometimes, he wished that he was as brave as Sheng Xiao and he could do whatever he wanted. But, he knew how bad it would be. He would hurt others in the end.

 After around forty minutes, Fourth Sister opened the door and saw Jing Yun still standing there. She frowned, “Why are you still standing here?”

 “I’m worried. There’re a lot of guests tonight. You’re the young lady from the Sheng family too. So, it’s fine even if I guarded your safety here.”

 Fourth Sister took a deep breath and nodded her head. “I’m quite pathetic, aren’t I?”

 “No, you’re still very beautiful.”

 Suddenly, Fourth Sister blushed slightly. She went to stand before Jing Yun.

 Jing Yun led her to a safe place before leaving her. It was because others might misunderstand them.

 Moreover, Fourth Sister had mixed feelings when she realized how sensible and considerate Jing Yun was.

 The kid she brought home was indeed kind.

 At that moment, she did not realize what kind of feelings Jing Yun had for her because Jing Yun had done his best to suppress it.
