Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 215: I’m Afraid…

Shen Jianchuan was indeed smart and observant. He knew how to make valid assumptions. Moreover, his assumption was right.

Mu Qiqi lowered her head after listening to what her father said. She asked her father, “Dad… Did you know? When I was at the most helpless time in my life, Xiaoxiao was the one who helped me. He gave me a new home. Slowly and gradually, he taught me how to fight back in this world. So, I couldn’t help falling in love with him.

“I thought about it before. Am I an ungrateful girl? Is that the way I repay his kindness? I fell in love with him. But, I know clearly that there are a lot of obstacles if we want to be together. I know about it indeed. I tried suppressing it before. I’ve thought about all of it before. But, I couldn’t hold back my feelings anymore when I got to know how Xiaoxiao thinks about me and how deeply he adores me.”

Mu Qiqi even cried when she talked about it. She could not help it. “Then, I got to learn about my birth and my identity. But, it’s impossible to be apart from Xiaoxiao anymore.”

Shen Jianchuan wanted to help her to wipe away her tears. She was his daughter whom he loved the most.

“Silly girl. You can tell me if you’re stressed because of it. I know what it feels like if you want to be together with a person forever. Are you afraid that I might interfere with that?”

“I’m afraid…” Mu Qiqi replied honestly. “It’s because of his rank in our family.”

“It’s nothing for me as long as he treats you well. If he is sincere toward you and he promises never to let you go, I’ll try my best to help you gain your happiness!”

“Dad…” Mu Qiqi threw herself into Shen Jianchuan’s embrace and started crying.

“So, can you tell me more about the incident which involves Shen Ruoyi?”

Mu Qiqi was done crying. She looked up at Shen Jianchuan and replied, “Xiaoxiao planned that. He knows that Shen Ruoyi has feelings for him. So, he thought of a way to arrange for her to work in Huang Yao. Then, they would prepare a few scenes for her so that she would give Sheng Xiao up. Don’t worry. Shen Ruoyi will never get to meet Sheng Xiao given the department she is going to work in.”

“If he dares to hurt you, I’ll definitely kill him!”

“He won’t! I’m the one who is indebted all the time. He adores me deeply but I could give him nothing.”

“Silly girl, you can make him happy! He’s the crown prince of Huang Yao. Surely, he has everything he wants. What he lacks is the happiness which only you could give him.”

That night, the father had a long chat with his daughter. Moreover, Shen Jianchuan could understand why Mu Qiqi had feelings for Sheng Xiao. At first, he did not believe the kind of love which happened at eighteen years old. But, he saw how determined his daughter was that day. Maybe, there would be a miracle after all.

Furthermore, he had a whole new impression of Sheng Xiao.

He was a man who owned a diamond empire. He could have any kind of woman he wanted. But, he fell in love with a young girl.

Sometimes, fate works in mysterious ways.

“Dad, thank you for supporting me. I’ll be less guilty.”

“Silly girl!”

They looked at each other and smiled. They felt that they were closer to each other now. After talking about some serious topics, Shen Jianchuan made a few jokes. He was responsible for making Qiqi happy.

His most important mission in the future was to make his daughter happy. He was responsible for protecting her.

Mu Qiqi felt kind of helpless when she left the hospital. She did not even notice it when Sheng Xiao honked several times times. So, Sheng Xiao got down from the car directly and walked toward her. He pulled Mu Qiqi into the black car.

“What are you daydreaming about?”

“My dad knows about our relationship long ago.” Mu Qiqi looked up and said to Sheng Xiao. “He didn’t blame me but he encouraged me to pursue my own happiness.”

“Your dad is surely a strange person. Moreover, he adores his daughter deeply. It’s not strange if he supports you!”

Sheng Xiao peeked at her and smiled.

“You seem not surprised at all given that he knows about us.”

“He’ll know about it sooner and later.” Then, Sheng Xiao started his car and brought his little one home.

Mu Qiqi could not help but sigh. It was how smart people dealt with things in the world. Everything was left unsaid but they understood it well.

“Shen Ruoyi will report to Huang Yao tomorrow.”

“Oh!” Mu Qiqi made a short reply and she said nothing else.

“Is that all?”

“It’s not like she’s going there and enjoying her life. Why should I have a bigger response?” Mu Qiqi retorted to Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao grabbed her and smiled softly. It was true indeed. Mu Qiqi did not have to show much reaction. But, it might be a little overboard given how he was going to resolve the issue with Shen Ruoyi. He just wanted Mu Qiqi to witness that.

Shen Ruoyi was excited the whole night because of it. However Cen Suyun felt that her daughter was certainly looking for trouble.

The next morning, Shen Ruoyi woke up early and got ready. Then, she reported to Huang Yao on time. At the same time, Shen Ruoyi heard a lot of people, claiming that they had met the Crown Prince. However, nobody knew where he really was.

Shen Ruoyi became rather excited as soon as she heard Sheng Xiao’s name. So, she felt it was worthwhile coming to Huang Yao even though she did not get to meet Sheng Xiao for an entire day.

Sheng Xiao reached the office by using the special lift. He could not help but ask Jing Yun about Shen Ruoyi.

“She has reported to work. Now, an employee is showing her around.”

Sheng Xiao smiled and looked like a demon all of a sudden. “Show her something great today.”

“Fine. I’ll go and make the appropriate arrangements.”

But, how would Shen Ruoyi react if she knew that everything was fake in future?

The HR manager was showing Shen Ruoyi around. But, he said to her mysteriously after he received a call. “I’ll reveal a secret to you since you’re a new colleague. The department which you’re going to enter is the most popular department for the crown prince. I heard that the crown prince likes the girls in your department the best…”

“What… does it mean? Didn’t the Crown Prince dislike women?”

“Yes, he doesn’t like women. But, he’s an insane person. Didn’t you know that? He likes playing games… The girls were always admitted to the hospital after playing the games with him.”

Shen Ruoyi did not believe him. Surely, that man was not Sheng Xiao.

She did not believe the rumors in the company. But, that department created that kind of atmosphere just to welcome her.

“I know you don’t trust me yet. Wait till you see it for yourself. Then, you’ll believe what I’ve said. Some girls even lost their fingers when they left the crown prince’s office and their hands were stained with blood…”

Shen Ruoyi was not influenced by them. She just felt that they were just fear-mongering.

Sheng Xiao had always been always so elegant and captivating to her. Although the rumors say he’s a demon, she still wanted to be with him. It was because Sheng Xiao was too outstanding.

“You’ll find about it in the future. Don’t say I didn’t warn you beforehand.”
