Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife-Novel2

Chapter 421: You’ve Hidden Long Enough, Haven’t You?

Time flew, and soon, half a year had passed.

With Sheng Kai and Gu Ziling’s union, Huang Yao rose to the next level and became an empire of diamonds famous throughout Asia in a single bound, realizing their plans to expand their domain and leaving Old Sheng very content.

With such results, the old man no longer fussed about whether it was Sheng Xiao or Sheng Kai who stood at the helm of the company. historical

However, he still held a terrible grudge against Sheng Xiao, because he felt that he was a blemish in his existence.

But no matter how he hated Sheng Xiao, Sheng Xiao had been hiding all the whole six months at the Shen residence as their NEET son-in-law, although scandals of him fighting with some rich kids would circulate from time to time.

It was as if Sheng Xiao was poisoned by Mu Qiqi, falling from being the accomplished Crown Prince to become a puddle of mud who could never be scooped up.

Meanwhile, Feng Shanshan continued to help the old man monitor Mu Qiqi.

Even so, Mu Qiqi’s daily life was monotonous. She would either be at campus, home, or the forensics lab, rarely sparing the time to even meet Lu Qianqian or Sheng Minglan.

Her life was duller than a commoner’s, who would at least go out with their classmates to dance, sing or even prowl around at the streets late at night.

That was why Feng Shanshan really thought that there was nothing worth watching Mu Qiqi for, because it was simply dull and flat.

However, when she and the Sheng family was not looking, Zhongteng was already stirring waves over the nation in the same six months.

Now, the company not only produce military necessitates—Sheng Xiao had also established a new research and development department as well as establish a huge production base to invent new weaponry, all while maintaining strong ties with the military.

Even though the company was drawing attention thanks to their meteoric rise, no one knew who was in charge.

Mu Qiqi often visited the base Sheng Xiao was so proud of, as well as going on trips across the world to observe and study, as well as forming ties with well-established characters.

They went to Norway and saw auroras on the most recent occasion, but only the Shen family was aware of that.

At the same time, Shen Jianchuan could walk normally now and Su Zipei’s baby was born.

Nonetheless, all of them live discreetly to match Sheng Xiao’s act.

***

The Sheng family was naturally even more arrogant now that they had risen to new heights.

While Gu Ziling had set an agreement with Sheng Kai before that they would have a child and she would eventually divorce him to go their separate ways, she realized that he had drawn her in after being with him for six months.

Nonetheless, there was nothing happening in her belly despite after working hard for that long.

As such, she quietly did a checkup, but the doctor revealed that she was perfectly fine, while suspecting that it was her husband who had a problem.

But how was she supposed to mention that to Sheng Kai?

It would be a wonder if he did not flip out!

On another note, when Sheng Kai returned home to find Old Sheng meeting with Feng Shanshan again, he knew that the old man’s grudge was not yet appeased.

“I really don’t know why Grandfather is still displeased after Huang Yao had progressed so much, and continue having that girl keep an eye on Mu Qiqi.”

Gu Ziling told her husband while helping him take off his suit. “It’s as if Sheng Xiao is a thorn on his side, and is still keen on retaliating even after have a year just by knowing that Sheng Xiao’s life is ruined.”

“Forget it, let him be. Let’s get downstairs to have dinner.”

Gu Ziling nodded, keeping the results of her checkup into her makeup stash.

She thought that she had perhaps been too nervous, which would hurt her chances of getting pregnant—they could keep trying for a while more instead.

As the family had dinner at their wide dining room, the old man entrusted Sheng Kai with a certain task.

“Try to ask around and find out who is in charge of Zhongteng, and whether their family has a daughter of the right age. If there are, I think It’s time for your Third Brother to settle down.

Third Brother spat out a mouthful of rice at those words.

“Grandfather, I’m already working hard to find one myself! You don’t have to rush me!”

“How would you know with their daughter is pretty or if she pleases you?”

Third Brother laughed mockingly—he already expected the old man to set his eyes on Zhongteng.

After all, who in Jianchuan hasn’t heard about that company now?

That said, Third Brother was only too certain that his Eighth Brother didn’t have a daughter.

“Of course, Grandfather, I’ll get it done soon…” Sheng Kai replied, before turning to tease Third Brother, “With Sixth Brother’s wedding coming soon, you’re the only one in the family who hasn’t started a family. Shouldn’t you be working hard now?”

‘It’s best if you people didn’t get that done,’ Third Brother retorted inwardly, ‘or the family would be in an uproar.’

Old Sheng laughed then, and told Sheng Kai, “By the way, try to get the land on the east side of the city as soon as you can. The expansion of our production installation is at hand.”

“Yes, Grandfather. I’ll get it done soon.”

“I’ve heard that Zhongteng has their eyes on that land too. Try to get acquainted with them if you get the chance.”

Though Zhongteng had indeed set their eyes on the same plot of land, Sheng Xiao did not have to be the one attending the auction.

And after learning that tidbit, Third Brother sneaked a phone call to Sheng Xiao before he went to bed.

“You’ve got the old man’s attention now. He is sending Second Brother to scout you out because he wants to know who’s in charge of Zhongteng, and whether you have a girl of the right age so that I could be your son-in-law!”

“Well, there are many girls at Zhongteng… hot employees…” Sheng Xiao replied.

“You are a bold one, Eighth Brother. How dare you check out your own employees behind my sister-in-law’s back!”

“Did you think I’m no different from you?” Sheng Xiao said and was going to hang up. “Anyway, I got it.”

“You’ve hidden long enough, haven’t you?”

“Uh-huh!” Sheng Xiao felt that it had been a wonderful life without the old man’s bothering after half a year. Of course, he did not have to fear the old man’s bothering with his position now either.

After all, he just needed to say the word if he wanted to move against Huang Yao.

And there were only too many ways to bring them down.

Mu Qiqi stepped out of the bathroom after finishing her bath. When she found Sheng Xiao’s black shirt hanging wide open over his chest as he sat on the sofa, she walked up to him, water droplets from her damp hair dripping on his reports as she took a seat. “Blow my hair.”

Lowering the reports, Sheng Xiao scooped his little one into his arms.

After half a year, her body portions had become alluring.

Her cheeks were especially well-rounded and a blossoming red after Aunt Wu had fed her supplements.

“I heard you talking in the bath. What did Third Brother talk to you about?”

Sheng Xiao chuckled when he remembered what his Third Brother said.

“What’s so funny?”
