Doris was looking through the guest list on the sofa inside the study room.
Knock knock!
The butler’s voice reached her ears right after a few knocks on the door. “Madam, Master Feng is here!”
“Come in!” Doris replied and the butler opened the door. He wheeled Qi Feng to her side before stopping.
“Leave us be.”
The butler soon left them, and Doris looked deep into Qi Feng’s eyes.
Not a word was exchanged between them. The room became eerily quiet after the butler left while Qi Feng remained stationary as Doris stared at him. He did not show any expression on his face.
“What do you want to discuss with me, Mother?” Qi Feng finally initiated the conversation.
Doris folded her arms and crossed her legs. “What else do you think there is to talk about?”
Qi Feng took a glance at the guest list on the table and ignored her question. “We’ve already sent out the invitations. Father has looked through the guest list several times already. Do you have any issues in it?”
Qi Feng was calm as he maintained an expressionless face. Doris would acknowledge his talents if it were not for his disabled legs. All these years, he had not given up on himself and had been improving. As he became more mature after the painful experience, he became much more observant.
Doris could not see through his poker face at all. “Qi Feng, I’m sure you know that I don’t agree to your marriage with Lingsha,” she said directly.
Qi Feng nodded. “I know. You’ve always preferred Mu Yuchen over me. That has never changed.”
Doris was surprised by his straightforwardness. She nodded without hesitation. “You’re right. I’ll admit that much.”
“However, time has changed things and Mu Yuchen has married Xi Xiaye. After everything I’ve gone through with Shasha, Mu Yuchen is responsible for what happened to us to a certain extent. Do you agree with that?” Qi Feng said with his deep voice as he spoke in a calm manner, “You should also understand why things have turned out like this. Plus, you should bear responsibility as well, shouldn’t you?”
Doris’s expression changed for a moment as her eyes became stagnant.
“It happened so suddenly, and I didn’t have much time to think about it, but I’ve been keeping something in mind all this while. I’ve been looking for a chance to talk to you about it.” Qi Feng put on a smile.
“What do you want to talk about? I don’t think we have anything else to discuss. I called you up here because I want my daughter to be happy. So you really think you can give that to her?” Doris gave him a meaningful glance.
Qi Feng’s expression darkened, but his smile widened. “Happiness requires two people to work on i. We’ve been together for quite some years, and we already have a daughter. The wedding will happen no matter what, and I hope that you can give us your blessings. That alone is a huge form of happiness to Shasha, me, and Weiwei!”
“There was no need for you to ask for my permission at all,” Doris said coldly.
“No, it is necessary. Let’s go back to what we were discussing earlier. I’ve been looking forward to talking to you about Shasha and Weiwei.”
Qi Feng paused. “I hope you can accept Weiwei. Because of this, there’ve been some disagreements between you and Shasha, but it’s not something we want.
“You know very well about Shasha’s condition. We might only have one daughter for the rest of our lives. She’s fine intellectually. She’s just physically weak and has some mild symptoms of autism. I’m sure she’ll be like any other healthy child after we spend more time with her.”
Qi Feng was really concerned about his daughter. In fact, he could deeply relate to Weiwei’s condition as he was in a similar condition.
“I’ve said that keeping this child will be your worst decision ever. Shasha’s body wouldn’t have turned out like this otherwise,” Doris replied coldly, obviously displeased.
“However, aren’t you responsible for Weiwei as well? I’m not a fool. Uncle Gu and you tried so hard to make Mu Yuchen stay because you guys were plotting something, weren’t you? Too bad the two of you underestimated Mu Yuchen. Who would’ve expected him to leave on the first night while Lingtian remained?” Qi Feng put on a sly grin and his eyes seemed cold.
Doris’s expression changed once she heard Qi Feng’s words but soon returned to normal. “I have a question. How come you went over so coincidentally? If it weren’t for you, that person might’ve been Mu Lingtian instead of you!”
Qi Feng laughed, his voice filled with a bone-chilling bitterness as he said, “It’s fate! Do you think your plan was perfect?”
“You guys had no idea when Mu Yuchen left the Gu residence. All of us underestimated him! Lingtian called me that night and said Shasha was in a bad mood, so he told me to come over and accompany her. Shasha was already unhappy with the marriage contract, but Uncle Gu and you insisted. The intention was very clear. Who knew the gift you’d been preparing for so long would be delivered to me instead?”
“Why was it you instead of Mu Lingtian?” Doris asked.
Doris had no idea what actually happened back then because they already started taking action and moved everyone away after Mu Yuchen agreed to stay. They intended to wait it out and readily accept the predicted outcome.
