1064 Very Happy To See You Again 3
Qi Feng just watched quietly as Xi Xiaye handed Qi Weier her umbrella. He only spoke up when she started to move away, “Thank you, Ms. Xi.”
Xi Xiaye halted mid-step and looked at him getting a little drenched from the rain. She had to admit that Qi Feng was indeed attractive, especially his eyes that looked so mesmerizing. If she had not already met a wonderful man like Mr. Mu, she might have fallen for this guy instead. She decided not to say anything and picked up her bags, about to leave.
“Wait!” Qi Feng called out to her as she just took her first step.
Xi Xiaye took a pause and stopped.
“It’s my wedding with Lingsha next Sunday. You’re welcome to join us.” Qi Feng took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to her. “Since you’re here, I don’t have to deliver this to your place.”
She took a glance at the fiery red envelope, then looked into Qi Feng’s eyes as she replied coldly, “You’re not really keen on having Mr. Mu over, are you?”
Qi Feng did not answer her question. Instead, he glanced at her arms. “How are your arms?”
Xi Xiaye lowered her eyes to her arms. However, she did not reply or take the envelope from Qi Feng who still maintained his arm midair with the invitation.
“Please don’t doubt my integrity, Ms. Xi.” Qi Feng put on a mysterious smile. “It’s your decision whether to come or not, but it’s only courtesy to hand out the invitation to you.”
When Xi Xiaye noticed his smile, she took the envelope from him. Opening it, she realized that there were two invitations: one for her and the other one for Mu Yuchen. She frowned. “Thank you so much for your invitation!”
“You’re welcome. It’s a pleasure to get to know you. I suppose I should start building a good relations.h.i.+p with you in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings like with the South River project. What do you think? Ms. Xi?”
Because Qi Feng sounded like he was teasing her, Xi Xiaye felt that his way of speech was very odd. Nonetheless, she smiled and shrugged. “I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
She then walked forward and she soon disappeared amidst the rain.
Qi Feng did not move an inch as he just watched her leave, his expression a little odd while his eyes appeared empty. Panting, Qi Weier wanted to chase after her, but Qi Feng stopped her. He quickly grabbed the big umbrella and held her. “Weiwei, she’s not your mother. Stop chasing her!”
“Aunty…” Qi Weier stared blankly into the direction where Xi Xiaye left. She seemed disappointed and soon went quiet again.
“You’ll have more chances to see her again. Here, take the medicine and feel better. I’ll bring you to visit that Aunty soon, alright?”
“First Master! Here’s some water!” Morrison rushed over with two bottles of water in his hand. He had actually seen what happened earlier.
Qi Weier took the tablets from him and forced herself to swallow them. Immediately, Morrison opened the bottle of water and handed it to her. To everyone’s relief, Qi Weier seemed better after a while.
“First Master, Xi Xiaye…”
“We’ll talk inside the car!” Qi Feng interrupted Morrison and held the umbrella above Qi Weier.
Pausing momentarily, Morrison followed his order and got the chauffeur to drive the car over first. Then, he helped Qi Weier get in before helping Qi Feng.
Qi Weier quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed the black umbrella from the chauffeur as Qi Feng entered the car. Stubbornly, she held onto it tightly.
“Weiwei…” Qi Feng looked at her helplessly, but she refused to say anything.
“First Master, Ms. Weiwei…” Morrison was confused by Qi Weier’s behavior.
“She has a great impression of Xi Xiaye.” Qi Feng threw the girl a worrisome glance. “Even better than her own mother.”
While Gu Lingsha was always protective of Qi Weier, the little girl felt pretty distant from her. Although things were getting better lately, she had always felt fearful towards Gu Lingsha.
“First Master, maybe we should bring Ms. Weiwei to a psychiatrist. I’m worried that…her condition will worsen,” Morrison spoke after some consideration.
Qi Feng’s eyes darkened as he watched his daughter stare out of the window quietly while clutching the black umbrella tightly. He seemed worried too. “Contact a trustworthy doctor.”
Morrison nodded. “Don’t worry, First Master, I’ll get it done!”
“Let’s go back.” Qi Feng then closed his eyes.
“Aren’t we going to meet Second Master Qi?” Morrison asked hesitantly.
“I don’t want something similar to happen again. Things will only get worse if I try to force him to go back. His att.i.tude has been odd lately, so we should stay put and observe.”
“First Master, our plan the last time didn’t just fail to reduce his influence, but he’s helped the company settle down instead. He’s being really smart right now by avoiding all the internal conflicts and only focusing on the external projects.” Morrison was surprised.
“My brother is no pushover, especially with Mu Yuchen backing him up. He’ll be an extremely powerful weapon if we can utilize him well.” Qi Feng smiled wryly.
“That’s why we have to take control of Qi Kai as soon as possible! I’ve contacted Professor Terl who is very well known in the medical field. We can’t give up on any possible hope, so please, First Master, let him take a look at your legs.”
