Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 244
Chapter 244: Isn’t That the Crown Prince of Huang Yao?
“Then I shouldn’t have agreed to it.” Grandpa Shen harrumphed.
“Father, have you seen any of the children of the Sheng escape the fate of arranged marriage? But Sheng Xiao has managed to overcome this and get engaged with Qiqi. He has proven his ability. I am sure he has a plan when it is time to get married.”
“I am just worried that Qiqi will not be able to handle the matters when she gets married. Joining the Sheng family is like walking into a deep abyss to her.” Grandpa Shen was very worried.
“I think it is going to be rather interesting. If the worst comes to the worst, Qiqi still has us, the Shen family.”
Grandpa Shen nodded. Now that the Sheng family had agreed to their engagement, he would not worry about what might happen in the future for now. What if it were Qiqi who did not want to marry Sheng Xiao by then? Hmph.
Things progressed very fast in just one night.
When Mu Qiqi woke up, her world had changed completely.
When she walked downstairs after getting dressed, she saw Mama Sheng cooking in the open kitchen. Mu Qiqi’s face went pale. But, Mama Sheng smiled at her unexpectedly. “Xiao Qi, you are awake.”
“Aunt Sheng…”
“The elders knew about the things between you and that bastard already. How can you take it all on yourself and not tell anyone?” In Mama Sheng’s mind, she thought that Mu Qiqi had been forced by Sheng Xiao. It was her son that had done her wrong.
“Aunt Sheng, it is not Xiaoxiao’s fault.”
“Mother, I still need to go to work.” Sheng Xiao, who was sitting in the living room, said to the mother- and daughter-in-law.
“Xiao Qi, you sit first. Breakfast will be ready soon. You should have your breakfast before going to school.”
Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao, puzzled. Sheng Xiao motioned his finger and said, “Are you thinking that you are dreaming?”
“What exactly is going on?”
“I told you, I would make you my wife.” Sheng Xiao made sure Mama Sheng could not see them and kissed Mu Qiqi’s lips.
Mu Qiqi was startled.
In the meantime, she was still confused. But she did not ask anymore. It was until when the three of them were having breakfast that she knew what caused all these from the pieces of information told by Mama Sheng. However, she still felt uneasy. She waited until when Sheng Xiao sent her to school, when there was nobody else, and asked Sheng Xiao in a serious tone. “Why did you do that? Why must you make yourself the evil one?”
“What difference does it make?” Sheng Xiao asked in return. “I am always like that. I do what I feel like doing. They are used to me being lawless.”
“Xiaoxiao…”
“Nothing is more important than you. The point is, I want to marry you in the fastest way.”
“But, everyone will think badly of you.”
“Well, I am. I always tease you. Are you not having enough of my teasing? Hmm?” Sheng Xiao implied. Mu Qiqi flushed. “As long as I can marry you, I don’t care what the other people think of me. You should just prepare to be my bride.”
At that very moment, Mu Qiqi was speechless. She felt uneasy as Sheng Xiao was spoiling her too much.
“I will not forget who I am because of you. Everything is under my control. Can you rest assured now?”
“Really?” Mu Qiqi was still unconvinced.
“Instead of worrying too much, why don’t you think about what dress and jewelry you want to wear at the engagement ceremony?” Sheng Xiao stopped the car right in front of the gate of Sheng Ting University as he finished talking. “From now on, I can send you to school openly.”
As she had reached the school gate, Mu Qiqi briskly kissed Sheng Xiao in his cheek and got out of the car quickly.
But some people had already seen the man in the car.
“Is… Isn’t that the crown prince of Huang Yao?”
“The crown prince sends Qiqi to school in person?”
Mu Qiqi thought that perhaps she would be living in turmoil for the rest of her life. But her love for Sheng Xiao was enough to make her overcome everything.
They were getting engaged soon. She had never thought that she would be able to marry Sheng Xiao one day, not even in her dreams.
…
The news about their engagement soon spread throughout the Sheng family. The whole family was taken aback by the news. They did not expect that Sheng Xiao would be getting engaged with an eighteen-year-old girl because he had slept with her. More importantly, the girl was the young lady of the Shen family.
But then, the Sheng family was not that surprised anymore.
This kind of thing always happened among rich families. Many of the rich young masters get married because of pregnancies. It was just an accident to them. The two did not really like each other that much. So, when the time was right, they would get a divorce. After the woman got a generous sum of money from the divorce settlement, she would marry someone else she loved. Each would have a happy life after the divorce.
So from their understanding, they thought that Sheng Xiao had just gone a bit overboard in playing with women. He was just craving for Mu Qiqi’s youth. When Mu Qiqi loses this advantage, they would break up sooner or later.
So, the Sheng family thought all they needed to do was just sit and watch.
Only the two of them knew how serious they were in this.
But Sheng Xiao chose not to clarify anything. Otherwise, his plan would fail. The Sheng family were thinking that he was just fooling around with Mu Qiqi. But only he knew what Mu Qiqi meant to him and how important she was.
So, Sheng Xiao’s cousins who were living abroad just sent their wishes through phone calls.
They did not care much about his engagement to Mu Qiqi.
Of course, he did not mind at all.
“I will come in person to give you my blessing when you get married. By the way, there is one thing I must say. This sister-in-law is indeed very young.”
Sheng Xiao’s eyes flashed with annoyance because they were belittling Mu Qiqi. But, he was not in a hurry to show them how much he cared about her.
They would see in future.
Only Sheng Minglan called Sheng Xiao and said, “I am still in Vienna. I will be back in two days. It is your engagement, of course I must attend the ceremony.”
“Fourth Sister, remember to come back with a lot of presents.”
“Are you asking for things for your wife already? Of course I know what to do. Rest assured.”
The fourth young lady of the Sheng family was a legendary woman as well. But her story would be told in the future.
In a short time, the news about the engagement of the crown prince of Huang Yao had already spread in their social circle. Everyone was surprised by the news, especially when they knew that his bride-to-be was only eighteen years old. Everyone got excited when they talked about this. Things seemed to be getting very interesting to them.
Mu Qiqi’s background was all right since she was the young lady of the Shen family. But it was her birth that caused great debates among people.
But the outsiders did not find it strange when they saw Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi as a couple. Because to them, Sheng Xiao was a devil.
They would be baffled if some innocent young lady from a proper family wanted to marry him.
Then, should they be considered a good match for each other?
Therefore, the outsiders were in the mood of being spectators, waiting to see them break up.
