Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 490: To the Other Planets

At five o’clock, Mu Qiqi received a call from Sheng Xiao, forbidding her from going to the forensic lab. After he got off work, he would come fetch her home himself.

Mu Qiqi pondered but she could not remember what important it was today. But since Sheng Xiao requested it, she would stay on campus obediently.

There was snow these days in Jianchuan.

Mu Qiqi wrapped herself in a big camel coat, standing at the gate of Jingting, waiting for Sheng Xiao’s car.

He had overcome his habit in driving a sports car six months ago. And since then, he always kept a low profile whenever he traveled.

Seeing the man keeping quiet, Mu Qiqi asked, “Is there anything special today?”

“Aunt came to visit. Shouldn’t you be going home earlier?”

Mu Qiqi had not seen her aunt for a long time. Thinking of her baby, Mu Qiqi was getting excited. Because she liked to cuddle that child. It felt like cuddling a big fluffy ball of cotton candy.

Sheng Xiao did not tell her more than that. The couple arrived at the courtyard in just a short time. After Mu Qiqi entered through the door, she only realized that it was not just Su Zipei and her family came, the Shen family were also sitting in the living room, having a happy conversation. Looking at the happy family, Mu Qiqi felt warm.

“Qiqi.” Su Zipei called her name.

“Oh my god. Look at my cotton ball cutie, she has gained weight again.” Mu Qiqi went to Su Zipei and picked up the child from her arms.

“She is a big eater now.” Su Zipei was teaching Mu Qiqi the correct way to hold a child. She was glad to see the little girl had grown into a mature lady. “It looks like Young Master Sheng is taking good care of you.”

“Aunt, with you all by my side, how can I not be happy?”

Everyone was there, except Sheng Xiao. And Mama Sheng was busy cooking in the kitchen. She was very much happy to do it.

Soon, Sheng Xiao took off his coat and returned to the living room. When he saw Mu Qiqi was hugging the baby, he sat down beside Shen Jianchuan and Grandpa Shen.

It was until Mu Qiqi had had enough cuddling with the baby that he beckoned Mu Qiqi. “Qi’er, come here.”

Mu Qiqi looked at him, puzzled. Still, she got up and sat beside him.

Sheng Xiao took the chance to hold her hand. He rubbed her palm and said to Grandpa Sheng and Shen Jianchuan, “Grandpa, Father, the last time I took Qi’er out of Shen Mansion, I did not let her live a happy life. Moreover, I even let the Sheng family cancel the engagement. I always feel sorry for Qi’er. Today, with everyone here, I want to ask your permission to hand over Xiao Qi’er to me. I will only have her as my only woman in my whole life. Nothing will ever change.”

Everyone fell into silence. Hearing Sheng Xiao’s words, they knew he was asking her elders for her hand in marriage.

“We all can see how deep your relationship is with Qiqi. Let’s not talk about those traditions, they are superficial.” Shen Jianchuan looked at Grandpa Shen and took the place as the spokesperson. “We will be happy when you are happy. Sheng Xiao, aren’t you the one who united all of us together? So, whenever you want to do anything with Qi’er, you can just tell us. We all will go all out for it as long as it is for you two.”

“I… just want to let this little one knows how much I value her.”

“You’ve almost taken out your heart and shown it to her. If she cannot understand, she would not be my daughter.”

Shen Jianchuan was speaking for his son-in-law this time.

“Since leaving the Sheng family until the establishment of Zhongteng, and living in humiliation in the past six months, aren’t you planning for the future of this girl?

The whole family listened quietly. And Sheng Xiao was still holding Mu Qiqi’s hand.

“Instead, it was my daughter who had not done anything for you. You make me feel guilty when you value her so much.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao turned his head and looked at Mu Qiqi who was tearing up. “She needs not do anything. She just needs to stay by my side and live a happy life. To me, that is a great success already.”

“Silly son, if it was six months ago, I might still be worried. But now, I assure you. You have matured. And I believe you can protect my daughter for the rest of her life. This will be the best reward you can give to the Shen family.”

Mu Qiqi cried. She had never thought that Sheng Xiao would do this.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Weren’t it you who said that I never proposed?” Sheng Xiao asked in return.

“Are you stupid? Even my dad can see that I have never done anything for you. I will only stick with you my whole life. How can I not be willing to marry you?” Mu Qiqi plunged into Sheng Xiao’s arms.

Her words made everyone laugh.

“Previously, my father and mother were not around, and your aunt was not there as well. I thought you will have regret in your life. So now, I will make up to you.”

Mu Qiqi got out of Sheng Xiao’s arms and saw everyone was looking at her. She felt embarrassed. “Don’t look at me already, my face is all smudged.”

“So, will you marry me?”

“Yes, oh yes.” Mu Qiqi said it twice. Her heart was so touched. This man was such a fearsome man to outsiders. But at home, he was the best son, the best husband, and the best family member.

“So will you follow me to register our marriage abroad?”

“Not just abroad. I will go to the other planets with you.”

Hearing her answer, Sheng Xiao laughed. He knew he must use this trick to make this little one unable to refuse him.

“Alright, you two. Everyone is still hungry. You can slowly do whatever you want in your room later. Now, we must celebrate.” Mama Sheng and Aunt Wu served dinner. The whole family sat around the table with happy smiles.

“We should always be like this in the future, as a united family.”

They all knew that it was because of these two that the family was able to be united.

Whether it was Huang Yu or Papa Sheng, they were very emotional. Because they were once unfortunate. But now, because of Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao, they regained happiness in their lives.

The power of the younger generation was so limitless and amazing.

After dinner, they enjoyed another round of chit-chat.

And Sheng Xiao brought Xiao Qi back to their room.

“I still want to play with Aunt’s baby…”

“If you like a child so much, we can make one.” Sheng Xiao carried her into the bathroom. “I have asked Xu Che to book a flight on your birthday, we will go there and register our marriage.”

“Must it be in such a hurry?”

“I am anxious.” Sheng Xiao put Mu Qiqi on the washstand and took off her white clothes. “I can’t wait to use all the tricks that I can think of to make you my wife.”

After listening to him, Mu Qiqi moved forward and kissed him wildly. “Xiaoxiao, how can I love you so much?”

She thought that she would be witnessing Lin Mu’an and Lu Qianqian’s engagement first. But she did not know that she would get such a surprise.
