Mu Qiqi shook her head. She disagreed with Feng Shanshans presumption. She thought it was too early for her to decide on that. She might fall for him when she sees him this evening. If that happened, she would have to swallow her words.

Whatever. Just dont tell me youve fallen in love with him then.

Well see about that. Feng Shanshan was confident.

In the evening, when Mu Qiqi reached home, the Shens were sitting in the living room. She smiled brightly. Why are you all here? We are just getting married abroad. You dont have to come.

Dont say that. Huang Yu grabbed Mu Qiqis hand. You are the pearl of the Shen family. Your grandfather and your father are very proud of you. Although the marriage certificate is only recognized abroad, you are still becoming Eighth Brothers wife. How could your birth family not come to give you blessings when you are getting married?

Second Aunt, dont be too nice to me.

Come here, Qiqi. Shen Jianchuan, who was sitting on the sofa, beckoned to her.

Mu Qiqi walked to her father and sat beside him. What is it, Father?

Shen Jianchuan took out a brocade box and placed it on Mu Qiqis lap. This is the wedding gown I have prepared for you. I hope I can see my daughter getting married in a beautiful dress.

Mu Qiqi opened the box and saw a pure white dress lying in it, along with the accessories.

Regardless of where you are getting married we will recognize the marriage. Its my biggest wish as your father to see you marry the man you love. I will have no regrets in this lifetime as long as you are happy.

Mu Qiqi put down the present and hugged Shen Jianchuan tightly. Father, you must always be healthy so that you can become a grandfather.

Silly girl. In the box, the dress is from me, the necklace is from your grandfather and the headdress is from your aunt.

Alright now, the children are leaving in a while. Lets eat while talking, Mama Sheng said as she started serving food at the table. Eighth Brother is coming home soon. We should wash our hands and get ready to dig in.

Mu Qiqi thought for a moment and went to Grandpa Shen. She said, Grandpa, I hope I did not embarrass you.

Now the people outside knew that there is a terrific forensics doctor in my family. Im so proud of you, Why would I feel embarrassed? Grandpa Shen gave Mu Qiqi a pat on her shoulder. Just be yourself. I dont care what other people say.

Mu Qiqi was overwhelmed by the love from her family that she broke into tears. Right then, Sheng Xiao came in and saw it.

He walked straight to Mu Qiqi and patted her head. Whats wrong?

Everyone is being so kind to me

You cry because they are kind to you? Are you a masochist? Sheng Xiao shook his head and brought her to the dining room. The flight has been brought forward. We will have to leave soon. Lets eat. It will be a long flight later.

Okay.

After dinner, Sheng Xiao carried the luggage out with Mu Qiqi. The rest of the family hugged them and bid them farewell.

We shall wait for your return.

Okay, Mu Qiqi replied to Mama Sheng with a smile.

The young couple was the key that connected the two families. And they were everyones concern.

Mu Qiqi got into the car with everyones blessings. In the car, she leaned against Sheng Xiaos chest. When we get married for real, I cant imagine how they will be.

Idiot, its our real wedding now.

Alright, she could not provoke a man reaching his thirties. Its their real wedding now.

You are becoming my husband soon. How do you feel?

In the darkness, Sheng Xiao lowered his head to look at Mu Qiqi. He could not say a word for a long time. Just as Mu Qiqi was about to fall asleep, he said slowly, I dont think I can wait for another two years to marry you. I want to enjoy the status of being your husband now. But at the same time, I feel that my burden has increased.

Isnt it just the same as before?

I have a sense of belonging. And I feel like I have a family for real now. Since I have a family to take care of now, I feel that my burden has increased.

Duh. Mu Qiqi lay on his lap. Why dont I get the sense of belonging? Maybe because I feel that I belonged to you since the very beginning. I have always been very intuitive. But there is one thing I agree with you. I like that you lead your life with a sense of ritual, which makes me feel that I am fully valued.

Get some sleep. I will wake you up when we arrive at the airport. Sheng Xiao held the woman in his arms. Then, he grabbed a thick fluffy blanket to cover her body.

No, I want to hug you with a sober mind.

Sheng Xiao just let her be. He got Xu Che to switch on the reading light and took out a stack of documents to review.

Mu Qiqi lay on her stomach and let Sheng Xiao use her as a table.

She was used to him being like this. And she was obsessed with such a Sheng Xiao.

Meanwhile, Feng Shanshan was helping the professor out in the forensic laboratory.

The professor glanced at her and smiled. Shanshan, you are still single, right?

Professor, are you, like Qiqi, trying to set me up with the psychology expert?

Everyone in the office has gone to see him. Arent you going? The professor reminded her. I heard that he is a very outstanding man. And his skills are good.

Professor, Ive been a bad girl in the past. Ive framed Mu Qiqi several times and I am a materialist. Those noble souls wont suit me.

The professor laughed. This is my first time hearing a girl describing herself this way. Its never too late to turn over a new leaf. As long as you have repented, you wont be unworthy of those noble souls.

Nah. Im scared. I have so many secrets. Its my biggest fear to let people know any of them. And that, is his expertise.

The expert is not interested in looking at whats inside your body.

Hearing such a blunt remark, Feng Shanshan and the professor turned their heads toward the voice. A tall and thin man was standing at the door of the forensic laboratory. He was wearing a black casual outfit and a cap. It made people feel suffocated.

Im Tang Yan, the new police officer. Im good at forensic psychology profiling. I just wanted to greet the forensic doctors. I didnt mean to eavesdrop. The door wasnt closed.

Feng Shanshan was startled. Suddenly, she was eager to see the face under the cap.

How do you do. The professor stretched out his hand for a handshake. We are just saying this for fun. I hope it doesnt bother you.

Is this a bad guy working undercover in the police station? Tang Yan sounded sarcastic.

Oh gosh. Feng Shanshan stood stiff near the sink. She could not control herself anymore.

She shouldnt have bad-mouthed people.

Oh, this is the assistant of the forensic laboratory. Shanshan is still a student. Please dont mind her, Officer Tang.
