Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

As long as there was a way to get around, Grandpa Sheng would not give up. One day, Grandpa Sheng dropped a bombshell to Sheng Minglan when he asks her to go to Northern Europe with him for a few days.

Even after Sheng Xiao had told him about the news he got, Grandpa Sheng still wanted to try.

Since Grandpa Sheng could only get news from the aristocrats in Northern Europe, unlike Sheng Xiao who could get in touch with Prince Charlie easily, he thought that there would still be a possibility to succeed as long as the prince was not married yet.

Although Sheng Minglan was not too anxious about it, she was completely disappointed in Grandpa Sheng already.

As for Seventh Sister, she kept on mocking her. “I never expected that Grandpa would let you get married so far away. How can we meet each other again?”

“It’s me today and it will be you tomorrow. Nobody can escape this.” Fourth Sister did not bother to entertain her and walked away.

Seventh Sister did not look good at all after hearing this. Sheng Minglan was right. If she could not find a man with the same kind of background that she liked, Grandpa Sheng would take control of her life.

Seeing Sheng Minglan living in misery, Seventh Sister could not just sit and watch anymore.

After knowing Grandpa Sheng’s action, Sheng Xiao reassured Sheng Minglan. Because nothing would change even if they went to Northern Europe. The royal family did not want an Easterner in their family.

But, Sheng Minglan felt terrible even if it was just a visit.

All she could do at home was drink alone at night.

When Jing Yun came to know about it after getting back from Huang Yao. He felt depressed. But there was nothing he could do.

All he could do was stand in front of the door of Sheng Minglan’s room quietly.

Young Master had told him that the marriage would not happen. He trusted Sheng Xiao. But he could not bear seeing Miss Minglan getting sad.

…

Sheng Xiao went home at night and told Mu Qiqi about Grandpa Sheng and Fourth Sister’s trip. Mu Qiqi sighed helplessly. “It is not that there is a throne to be inherited in the Sheng family, why does Grandpa want to interfere with the marriage of his grandchildren so much? He’s so stubborn.”

“There is only wealth and power in his mind.” Sheng Xiao pulled Mu Qiqi into his arms and embraced his little bride. “And I have come to discover something.”

“What is it?”

“Jing Yun that blockhead seems to like Fourth Sister,” said Sheng Xiao while stroking Mu Qiqi’s hair. “He never asks anything from me. But today, he asked me to help Fourth Sister first thing in the morning.”

“Why are you so sure based on just this?”

“Of course not just this one. Jing Yun has been living with the Sheng family since young. So, he knows how to hide his feelings well because he knows his place. Sometimes, I feel that he is just like a block of ice. There are so many members in the Sheng family. And every time a Sheng gets married, he never smiles. He never cares about anyone but now he cares about her.”

“Perhaps, he is just grateful to Fourth Sister because she saved him?”

Sheng Xiao chuckled and shook his head. “You should be the one who can understand Jing Yun the best. If it is not his limit yet, he will not come to me.”

Mu Qiqi thought of when she had a crush on Xiaoxiao. Suddenly, she pitied Jing Yun.

“You have guessed it accurately.”

“What?”

“There really is a person in Jing Yun’s heart.” Sheng Xiao still remembered what Mu Qiqi said.

Mu Qiqi could not help but laugh. “If that’s the case, then the situation has become worse. Not to mention that Fourth Sister does not like Jing Yun, his feelings for her should never be made known to the Sheng family.”

“Don’t you want to help him?”

“It is more important to fish Fourth Sister out from the sea of misery now.”

Once Grandpa Sheng makes up his mind, nobody would be able to change it. So, they could just delay it for now.

Sheng Xiao kissed Mu Qiqi’s forehead lightly and said, “I will tell Jing Yun to book me an early flight to Northern Europe. I will go there before Grandpa does to put an end to his plan.

“Okay.” Mu Qiqi nodded.

“So, let’s hurry up…”

“Hurry up for what?” Mu Qiqi was confused.

“Hurry up to make love with you.”

Mu Qiqi was speechless.

…

Sheng Minglan could not sleep all night. At midnight, she walked to the courtyard, carrying a bottle of wine with her, and stared blankly into space.

There was another person who did not sleep. He was Jing Yun.

Knowing that she was in distress, Jing Yun hated himself for not having the ability to help her. All he could do was to look at her from afar, fearing that he might cause her trouble if he got too close.

But his legs would not listen to him.

Although he knew that he would step into hell, Jing Yun still approached her. “Miss Minglan, drinking too much wine is harmful.”

Sheng Minglan looked up and saw Jing Yun. She smiled. “Why haven’t you gone to sleep? It’s already very late.”

“I still have some work to take care of. I come out to clear my head and bumped into you.”

“Is Sheng Xiao too demanding? I will tell him someday…”

“Are you really that unhappy?” Jing Yun asked all of the sudden.

Sheng Minglan took a deep breath and smirked. “Sometimes, I am really envious of Sheng Xiao. He made it clear to people what his limit is since the start. So things like this will not happen to him. I am being controlled like a puppet. Do you think I will be happy? Nobody cares about happiness in this family. I am not just envious of Sheng Xiao. I am envious of you, too. You are not a Sheng. So you are not being controlled by him.”

“You are drunk.” Jing Yun took the wine glass away from her hand.

“Are you trying to deprive me of the last bit of my freedom?”

Jing Yun looked at her. Suddenly, he had a wild thought. Although Sheng Xiao was already on his way to Northern Europe. But he had an urge to do it. “What if I told you I can help you leave the Sheng family?”

“I can’t escape…”

“You can.” Jing Yun told her confidently, “I know all the businesses in Huang Yao. I know what areas it covers and where the dead ends are.”

“Why do you want to help me? If Grandpa finds out about it, you will be as good as dead.”

Jing Yun did not answer. But his eyes revealed everything.

‘Because I don’t want to see you suffer…’

“Jing Yun, I don’t need to escape. I can just get married and Grandpa will not bother about me anymore.”

“What you say seems right.” Jing Yun faked a smile to hide his sadness.

“Silly thing.” Sheng Minglan said nothing else. But she seemed to have some ideas in her mind now. She should not just sit and wait for her death. She should make a move. And in her contacts, there was someone who could help her.

It was a plan that needed some time. But after the trip to Northern Europe, she would leave the Sheng family for good.

“Then, I shall go and rest now.” Jing Yun knew that there was nothing more he could do. And he did not want to become a trouble to Sheng Minglan.

Sheng Minglan nodded. “All right, don’t work so late in the future.”

“Okay…” Jing Yun nodded obediently.

“And remember to take care of yourself more.”
