Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 301: Don’t Take It for Granted!

Grandpa Sheng was expecting the staff in Huang Yao, especially those in the planning department to complain about Mu Qiqi. He thought they would be angry with her. But, to his surprise, nothing happened. On the contrary, the planning department even got the marketing department to work with them. All the preparation works were initiated in an orderly manner. How could that happen?

Grandpa Sheng found it very strange. So, when Mama Sheng came home, he summoned her to his study. He asked, “Is the preparation of the VVIP event already in progress?”

“Yes, it’s going smoothly so far,” replied Mama Sheng.

“According to Mu Qiqi’s proposal?”

“Yes, Father.” Mama Sheng nodded.

“Sheng Xiao must have gotten involved with this…”

“Mu Qiqi does everything herself. Sheng Xiao never interferes,” said Mama Sheng calmly. “Didn’t you give her the task to test her capabilities? Or are you hoping to see her criticized?”

“What are you talking about? I am just surprised that everything can go so smoothly. Well then, I shall see how it goes. Besides, I heard that Minglan has established a new company.”

Mama Sheng looked at Grandpa Sheng seriously. She asked frankly, “Father, do you think that Sheng Minglan will still care about the Sheng family? Just regarding engagement, you obviously sided with Minghui. Since you have promised to give Minglan her freedom, you should not interfere with her personal matters anymore. Or else, she may really be forced into desperation by you. Minglan has always been an obedient child. What made her cut her own wrist? Think about it. Isn’t the reason clear to you?”

Grandpa Sheng was speechless. He knew he owed Sheng Minglan too much this time.

“As for Sheng Minghui. Since she is the only granddaughter in the Sheng family now, she has become even more arrogant. She was already very proud when Minglan is here. Now, she is lawless. Father, I don’t care if you say I am nosy, I must tell you that Sheng Minghui may cause big trouble soon if she keeps behaving like this.”

Grandpa Sheng took a deep breath and nodded. “Let me think about it. You may leave now.”

He knew he could not interfere with Sheng Minglan’s matter for now. Otherwise, she might really kill herself just as Mama Sheng had said.

Reminiscing about the actions of Sheng Minghui lately, Grandpa Sheng felt sick again.

Anyway, she was the one who sowed the seeds.

…

After Sheng Minglan’s company was established, Jing Yun kept his promise and transferred to her new company from Huang Yao.

However, since the company was still new and everything needed to be taken care of, Sheng Minglan had no chance to talk to Jing Yun even though they spent their time in the office all day.

“CEO Sheng, please sign these.” Jing Yun put all the documents he had prepared in front of Sheng Minglan. “These are all the partners that have confirmed their alliance. I have negotiated the contracts with them. You just have to sign all these.”

“Let’s have dinner together after getting off work.” Sheng Minglan took the documents from Jing Yun and suggested.

“I have another business dinner tonight…”

“For our company, right?” Sheng Minglan asked.

Jing Yun answered her question with silence.

“Since that’s the case, we shall go together. The past few days, I’ve just been sitting here and waiting for the results. You haven’t given me any chance to play my part. You just get everything done and then only you send them to me. Are you in a rush to get rid of me?” Sheng Minglan sounded a bit disappointed.

“CEO Sheng, you need to make sure every step you take now is safe. Because you are no longer protected by the Sheng family, nobody will give you face.”

“I… cough…” Sheng Minglan coughed a few times just as she wanted to explain.

Seeing this, Jing Yun stopped. “I am sorry. I am too anxious. Let’s settle these tomorrow. It’s late now. I will send you home.”

“I’m just a bit tired.”

Jing Yun had burnt the midnight oil, so did Sheng Minglan. It was just that he was unaware.

“Let’s go.” Jing Yun would not let her refuse. He took her coat and dragged her to the parking lot. “Grandpa Sheng should know it by now about your new company. But, with Mama Sheng stopping him from interfering, there shouldn’t be a threat for you now as long as Miss Minghui does not come and mess with you…”

Sheng Minglan did not say anything. She sat quietly in the car. Soon, she fell asleep in the passenger seat.

Seeing Sheng Minglan sleeping so deeply, Jing Yun did not wake her up when they reached home. He simply stayed beside her quietly.

Sheng Minglan slept until midnight. When she woke up, it was already one o’clock in the morning. She was shocked as she looked at Jing Yun. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I wanted to let you have a good rest. Go inside now, I have arranged another time for a meeting with them.”

Sheng Minglan looked out of the car window. It was quiet and there were no passersby to be seen. So, she turned to Jing Yun and said, “Although I know I might look too easy, I still want to do this.”

Then, Sheng Minglan moved forward and hugged Jing Yun tightly. When Jing Yun struggled to get away from her, she threatened him. “Don’t move or I will kiss you.”

Jing Yun stayed quiet immediately.

“I feel tired these days. But I am very happy. I feel especially reassured when I see you.”

Hearing her words, Jing Yun subconsciously put his hands around her waist.

“Go up and rest.”

Sheng Minglan took a deep breath with satisfaction. Then only she pushed open the car door. “Remember to bring me along for the next business meeting.”

Jing Yun nodded. His hands felt weird. Because he could still feel Sheng Minglan’s warmth and her scent.

After that, Sheng Minglan got upstairs and Jing Yun left the apartment.

Being together with her…

It’s too dangerous. Very dangerous!

…

On the other hand, at Jing Ting.

A heated battle had just ended. Sheng Xiao was cleaning the battlefield, along with the little woman who was so tired that she could not move. He cleaned her thoroughly to make her feel comfortable.

“Did I not do well that you still want to punish me?” Mu Qiqi complained.

“You are my woman, of course you did well. But this does not stop me from finding a reason to want you…” Sheng Xiao carried her back to the bed from the bathroom. “You little one, when you are getting more and more attention, my pride will grow.”

“I’m being praised by the crown prince of Huang Yao. Alright, I shall forgive you tonight.”

“Don’t take it for granted!” Sheng Xiao chuckled and sat on the bed. He held Mu Qiqi in his arms. “Grandpa will surely make his move to mess with the event. You should be careful.”

“Do you still think that I am a naïve girl? I won’t believe his gibberish.” Mu Qiqi drew circles on his chest. “Anyway, promise me one thing if this event is a success.”

“You don’t have to wait until then. I can promise you now. I am yours after all, am I not?”

“That’s different. That is the fruit of victory,” said Mu Qiqi.

Mu Qiqi had jotted down Grandpa Sheng’s wickedness in the little notebook in her heart. Meanwhile, she was figuring out his next move.
