Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife
Chapter 29: Coming-Of-Age Gift
Sheng Xiao turned to find Mu Qiqi. "Why are you up?" He promptly asked.
"Is it really you?" Mu Qiqi got in front of Sheng Xiao in her pink pajamas, appearing very excited. "Why didn't you come in if you're here?"
"I'm heading to France immediately," Sheng Xiao told her as he wore his gloves.
"Oh. When are you coming back?"
"I'm not sure."
Mu Qiqi quickly lowered her head to hide her disappointed look, but soon looked up again. "You should hurry, then..."
"Didn't you find anything when you opened your door?" Sheng Xiao asked, returning to the living room since he was found out.
"The lights are out... I didn't see it..." Mu Qiqi said as she hurried upstairs, finding the blue gift box outside her door which she picked up and opened.
She exploded in delight when she found the hairpin embedded with a blue diamond, and hurried downstairs again to ask Sheng Xiao, "Is that for me?"
He nodded. "A gift for your coming-of-age."
Mu Qiqi realized that it was a present he had come specially to give her as she reached adulthood. She felt an impulse right then to get close to Sheng Xiao, stand on her toes and give him a soft kiss on his cheek.
Except that she did not just thinkand had put thoughts into action.
Sheng Xiao was left dumbstruck, while her own heart was thumping madly.
Perhaps afraid that he would get angry, she quickly turned and sprinted upstairs, gift in hand. "Be careful on your way, I'm going back to bed..."
Sheng Xiao reached out to touch the spot where Mu Qiqi kissed him.
Wasn't that little one being too wild?
Even so, he was not angry. He merely turned by instinct towards Su Zipei's room, and it was after he made sure that she did not wake up that he pretended nothing happened, and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi leaped excitedly into her crisp white bed after returning to her room as if she had done something untoward that mustn't be seen.
She was at once embarrassed and thrilled. Even after Sheng Xiao had driven off, her wildly beating heart would not be still.
In the very moment she held it on her palm, Mu Qiqi felt as if she had received
