Chapter 585: Go and Duplicate the Keys
“Xiaoxiao...” Mu Qiqi sat up. “I fell asleep...”
Sheng Xiao put down his phone and stared at her. “You didn’t just fall asleep, eh?”
“I didn’t mean it. I promised you...”
“You have been sleep-talking all this while. If other people came in and heard you, they would think that my woman is a weirdo.” Sheng Xiao stood up and put on his jacket.
“What did I say?” Mu Qiqi stood up, and only then did she realize she had been sitting in his place.
“Idiot.” Sheng Xiao sneered and wrapped her with a jacket. “We’ll eat out tonight.”
“Okay.” Mu Qiqi nodded and stole the chance to hug Sheng Xiao. “I came running down from a two-thousand-meter-tall hill. I was not late on purpose.”
“Why don’t I get Xu Che to ask people to install a cable car system on the hill?”
“You don’t have to.” Mu Qiqi laughed. “I won’t go there again. I’m so hungry. Take me to dinner, hubby.”
“Really? You don’t need it?”
“Yes!” Mu Qiqi was unsure whether she should laugh or cry. Although she knew that her man was very rich, he should not be too casual with his money.
...
Meanwhile, Tang Yan rang the doorbell. After waiting for quite some time, there was still no response. It was then that he saw a note on the door.
“I’ve gone to the police station. Call me if you need me. I sent you a message but you didn’t reply, so I guessed you must be busy.”
She was sick yet she went to the police station.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking of this, Tang Yan drove to the police station and found Feng Shanshan in the forensics laboratory.
“Why did you come back?” The professor could not understand why Tang Yan came back.
“I can’t sleep so I came to see if I can help.” Tang Yan gave a smart answer.
“Nothing much you can help with. After this experiment, Shanshan and I will get off work. You can send her back. It’s me who asked her to come.”
“Okay,” Tang Yan replied in a dull voice and left the territory of the forensic doctors.
Although Feng Shanshan was very busy, she still saw the man’s tired face. And yet, he came looking for her. This nearly made her laugh.
After ten minutes, the experiment ended.
Feng Shanshan changed her clothes and left the forensics laboratory. Then, she walked toward Tang Yan and said, “Let’s go.”
“Go and duplicate the keys.” Tang Yan got up from the chair, looking a little cool.
“If you think it’s troublesome, I won’t bring the keys out and hide them in my house. You can go get them yourself.”
“Is it so hard to duplicate them?” Tang Yan asked.
“I don’t want to, because I will still have to return them in the future.”
Tang Yan stopped talking and walked in front of Feng Shanshan.
After they got home, Tang Yan headed straight into his study, leaving Feng Shanshan alone in the cold living room.
So, she built a fire immediately.
That night, they did not talk to each other. Tang Yan did not leave the study. And when he left, he did not wake Feng Shanshan up. Everything was the same as usual.
Although they were familiar with each other’s body, they did not want to have feelings for each other. It’s the choice Feng Shanshan made herself.
After Tang Yan left, Feng Shanshan made herself a hearty breakfast. She knew Tang Yan was not used to having breakfast in the morning. He was still young to handle it, but could he still do so as he aged?
So, she brought the extra food to the police station.
“You brought breakfast? Can you eat it when looking at the corpses?” The professor couldn’t help laughing.
“Forget it if you don’t want to eat!” said Feng Shanshan.
“I’m just joking. I’ve had my breakfast. I’ll give it to Tang Yan. That boy never eats breakfast. Let him try your cooking.”
“Whatever.”
If Mu Qiqi was there, she would surely laugh at her. However, she was very sure that Mu Qiqi was not coming today, since she had promised to attend self-defense classes with Sheng Xiao.
Mu Qiqi was loved and cared for by so many people. There were so many of them protecting her. Why would she need to learn self-defense skills?
She probably needed it the most.
However, she could understand Sheng Xiao’s concern. Mu Qiqi was his sweetheart after all and she was working in such a tiring and dangerous environment. It’s acceptable for him wanting to improve Mu Qiqi’s physical fitness.
“I’m going to stuff it into that boy’s mouth now.” The professor went out in a hurry and returned with a smile all the way back. “Shanshan, your cooking is good.”
“Who wants him to eat it anyway?” Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes, not allowing anyone to sense anything between her and Tang Yan.
“He’s finished the food anyway.” The professor laughed happily.
Feng Shanshan did not say anything and started working.
...
Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi had finally met her coach.
Her man even came in person to monitor her. He was making sure that she learned properly, not giving her any chance to goof off.
“So, what are we learning today?”
“We’ll learn wrestling and Sanda, and then Judo. Sanda is mainly for controlling your enemy and Judo is for defending yourself. Once you learn these, you will have no problem handling most people.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMu Qiqi listened to the coach and nodded. “I can do anything.”
She needed to get stronger so that Sheng Xiao would not worry.
“So, we will learn the basics today.”
“Coach, do you know how to arrest people?” Mu Qiqi asked.
“It’s the best to learn restraint techniques from the professionals in the institute. And it takes a long time to master because it requires good control of wrist strength. The police normally use them to restrain the enemy in one move. It’s not practical for you,” the coach answered.
“I shall follow your plan.”
Mu Qiqi was no doubt a person with high endurance. She did not look anything like a wimpy lady at all. When she was being thrown and trampled on, she got even more fired up. This made Sheng Xiao feel very distressed, but he refrained himself from pitying her.
Sometimes, he wished for her to be strong, but sometimes, he hoped she would remain the seventeen-year-old Mu Qiqi who hid behind him all the time.
Perhaps, only people who were deeply in love could understand these complicated feelings.
This morning, Mu Qiqi was thrown here and there by the coach. In the midst of it all, she realized that she liked this kind of sport.
What about Sheng Xiao? After going back to Zhongteng, he told the secretary, “From now on, leave the morning slots on the weekends empty.”
“Yes, Chief.”
Only when he experienced it himself would he understand the pain Mu Qiqi felt when she was being punched or thrown by someone else.
No matter what kind of training she needed, he would need them too.
Jing Yun left him after being with him for over ten years. Xu Che would leave him one day too. historical
...
In the hospital, in the afternoon.
Grandpa Sheng was lying on the bed. He was in good spirits, so he suggested to the doctor to let him go home. He felt bored staying in the hospital.
However, the doctor did not approve and told him to stay in the hospital for another two weeks in order to fully recover.
Knowing that it was Sheng Xiao’s order, he stopped arguing.
However, this gave Sheng Kai ample time to approach the butler!
