Chapter 1805: I Will Marry You In My Lifetime (4)
She had almost forgotten about this.
Hatred?
What hatred was there to talk about now?
Ah Mo, Lings.h.i.+, and their children were still living over there. I heard that they had been living quite harmoniously recently. When she went over with Mu Yuchen some time ago, she saw that they were also living quite peacefully.
This was probably what Grandmother wanted to see the most, right?
Xi Xiaye thought about it for a long time before she shook her head. “Those things are all in the past. As long as everyone is doing well, nothing else matters anymore. Now, it’s you. It keeps feeling like you’re always just two steps away from happiness.”
“Me? I don’t mind. Things are pretty good now, I’m content.” Qi Lei replied.
“How’s Xi Xinyi doing in America? I haven’t heard from her for quite some time. Recently, Father has been busy, so I haven’t spoken to her.”
This time, Xi Xiaye took the initiative to ask about Xi Xinyi.
Ever since that time she left, she had never returned. She did not know how she was doing with Han Yifeng and the child.
“Xi Xinyi?”
Qi Lei mumbled softly. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “If you didn’t ask me, I would’ve forgotten. I wanted to tell you about her before.”
“She’s doing very well over there. She’s already the CEO there now. The company has already increased the funding for the project with Han Yifeng. Although the two of them have not let bygones be bygones, I heard that they can work on the project together very harmoniously. Oh right, Han Yifeng didn’t stop her from visiting their son every month. This should be considered good news.”
Qi Lei knew more about Xi Xinyi’s situation. After all, Xi Xinyi was still the executive manager sent out by Taiyu Corporation. As the boss, he knew quite a bit about the situation.
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye nodded gently. “Mmm, if that’s the case, then I’m relieved. Regarding her matter, I’ll let you…”
“You’re still being polite with me? Her abilities are actually not bad. It’s just that she was too narrow-minded before. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen to such a state. However, fortunately, she met you and Mu Yuchen.”
When Qi Lei said this, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes darkened a little. He thought about it and sighed. “Sometimes, I can’t help but envy her. If only I could be as lucky as her…”
“You can’t compare, Qi Lei. You have your own fate and your own path. We just want to live a peaceful and comfortable life. That’s all that matters. Now, it seems like victory is within our grasp.”
Xi Xiaye’s eyes darkened as she quietly looked at Qi Lei, “Do you know that every time I see you, I’d find that you’ve changed a little more than last time? I think Liuyun must be someone that you really care about. Every time I talk about her, your emotions seem to change a little.”
“I’ve already married her, how can I not care?”
Qi Lei smiled faintly as if he was thinking about something. His dark eyes became a little absent-minded, “She’s very good. It’s just that sometimes, it feels a little unreal. The feelings that I never knew before have all been tasted by her. Xiaye, do you think Liuyun and I can truly love each other and be together for a lifetime?”
When Qi Lei asked this, he also silently looked at Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. She slowly raised her gaze to look at Qi Lei. Unexpectedly, it was very easy for her to catch that faint emotion that could not be concealed in his eyes. She was finally shocked—
It was very obvious that he had already fallen in love with… Dongfang Liuyun?
Love was such a wondrous thing. It could be subtly influenced and acc.u.mulated more and more as they interacted with each other.
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and then nodded. She looked at him calmly and replied, “Of course, since the two of you are so compatible, you’ll definitely be able to truly love each other and be together for a lifetime.”
When he heard this, Qi Lei suddenly smiled and said happily, “Is that so? Do you think so too? Can we truly love each other and be together for a lifetime?”
Xi Xiaye nodded vigorously, but her eyes started to heat up for some reason. Even she herself did not know why. Perhaps it was because when she saw him at this moment, he inadvertently revealed a unique loneliness?
The smile on Qi Lei’s face widened as he said softly, “I think so too. Thank you, Xiaye…”
Tears welled up in Xi Xiaye’s eyes. She could only turn her head away and take a few breaths before she managed to calm down…
…
When she left Qi Lei’s office, Xi Xiaye’s eyes were still a little red. Fortunately, she wore sungla.s.ses, so no one could tell.
But Qi Weier, who was holding her hand, was unusually sensitive. When she walked into Qi Lei’s private elevator, Qi Weier suddenly asked—
“Mother, why are you crying?”
“Is Mother crying?” Xi Xiaye asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice.
“Father said that you’ve been crying a lot lately, Mother…,” said Qi Weier.
Xi Xiaye then sniffed and smiled bitterly, “Don’t listen to your father’s nonsense. Mother’s just has sand in my eyes. Wei’er, your Uncle Qi Lei is a very good person. When you grow up, you have to protect him like how you protect Father and Mother, understand?”
“Uncle is an adult. He doesn’t need Weier to protect him…”
“No, Weier. He’s your family. He’s your father’s younger brother, just like you and Xiaocheng’s younger brother. You definitely won’t let others bully your younger brother, right?”
“Yes, I won’t let others bully my younger brother. But, Mother, they all said that my parents used to be bad people…”
“How can that be? They’re your biological parents. They still love Weier very much. When you grow up in the future, you can search for the answers yourself. Now, you’re in charge of growing up, okay?”
When she heard this, Qi Weier nodded as if she did not understand. She looked up at Xi Xiaye seriously, “Mother, when I grow up, I’ll be like Xiao Rui. I’ll do my best to protect you and Father. Oh, and Uncle. I won’t let the bad people bully you guys.”
Xi Xiaye smiled and nodded. She reached out to pat her head. “Okay, I’ll wait for you to protect me.”
…
Persistent!
She almost forgot that Zhou Zimo was such a persistent person.
After a few days, he actually did not feel tormented because he knew very well that no matter what Qin Su’s final answer was, it would not stop him.
At this moment, in a comfortable and luxurious office.
Zhou Zimo was sitting in a chair in front of his desk, holding a photo in his hand and looking at it…
In the photo, it was a woman standing in the sea of chrysanthemums, looking up into the distance. The woman was wearing a straight military-green autumn uniform, and there was a rare hint of warmth on her ice-cold face. She was surrounded by a sea of blooming flowers…
