Qi Lei’s expression tensed up, but his gaze softened a little.
“Your body has just recovered. Don’t worry about these things. I’ll naturally take care of it.”
Qi Lei still showed some concern for Qi Qiming.
“I’ve already recovered. Other than some fragments that I can’t remember, there’s basically no huge problems. I can handle these things with ease.”
Qi Qiming did not take these things to heart. He knew his own body best.
“The doctor said that you’ll need some time to stabilize. It’s better for you to work less during this period of time. I can handle those things. Wei’er and Xiao Rui aren’t strangers to you either. I’ll talk to Mu Yuchen and have them come over often.”
“Oh, okay…” Qi Qiming replied, but Qi Lei had already put down the teacup in his hand. He stood up slowly and walked towards the staircase. “It’s getting late, we’ll go back first. We still have to bring them to the amus.e.m.e.nt park tomorrow morning.”
When Qi Lei finished speaking, he walked up the stairs steadily.
Not long after, the couple held Mu Zirui and Qi Wei’er’s hands as they went downstairs.
“Father, you should rest early. Don’t stay up too late. We’ll come back to see you next week.”
Dongfang Liuyun looked at Qi Qiming who was standing by the side with his hands behind his back. Seeing the slight disappointment on his face, he thought about it and said, “Maybe Father can go to holy water when he’s free. The two families are quite close anyway. It’s convenient to walk around. Just send it to Driver w.a.n.g.”
Dongfang Liuyun took into account the father-son relations.h.i.+p between Qi Qiming and Qi Lei. The family banquet tonight looked pretty good. At least, the father-son relations.h.i.+p had eased up a lot over the past few days, Qi Lei no longer held such prejudice against Qi Qiming. Although they were still distant, she believed that as long as they were given some time, they would definitely have a close father-son relations.h.i.+p in the future.
Naturally, Qi Qiming could see that Dongfang Liuyun was intentionally easing up. He could not help but feel a little grateful.
“Okay, it’s getting late. You guys should go back early,” Qi Qiming said gently.
“Okay. Xiao Rui, Wei’er, say goodbye to Grandfather.”
“Goodbye, Grandfather!”
The two children quickly waved goodbye to Qi Qiming.
“Bye, come back and visit Grandfather when you’re free!”
Qi Qiming was also sad to see them leave.
…
The distance between the two villas was not too far, but perhaps it was because they were tired from playing. After getting into the car, the children leaned back in their seats and fell asleep. Dongfang Liuyun was also sitting in the back, watching the children sleep soundly, worried that they would catch a cold, he said to the man who was driving in front…
“Turn the temperature up a little. It’s a little cold.”
As he said that, he took a blanket and covered the children.
“Are you all asleep?”
Qi Lei looked behind him through the car mirror in front and asked in a low voice.
“Yes, I guess you’re tired from playing.”
Dongfang Liuyun reached out and touched Qi Wei’er’s little head, which was resting on her lap.
“Aunt Liuyun…”
At this moment, Mu Zirui’s tender voice suddenly came from the side.
Dongfang Liuyun quickly turned her head and only then did she realize that Mu Zirui was looking at her with his sparkling eyes.
“Oh? What’s wrong?”
Dongfang Liuyun helped him to fix his clothes. “Did I wake you up?”
Mu Zirui shook his head and thought for a moment before saying, “No, I didn’t fall asleep. Aunt Liuyun, Grandfather Qi looks so lonely. Father said that lonely old people would be especially serious when they play with us, just like Great Grandfather…”
“Does Xiao Rui think that Grandfather is very lonely?” Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and asked.
Mu Zirui nodded slightly. “Yes, he doesn’t seem to like talking. He’s not as lively and cheerful as Great Grandfather…”
Mu Zirui thought for a long time before finding such an adjective.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun smiled. “Lively and cheerful? Can this word be used to describe Grandfather Qi?”
Mu Zirui paused and thought carefully for a long time before replying, “It can be used. Many words can be used regardless of age.”
Dongfang Liuyun smiled softly and patted his little head, “Alright then. From now on, Xiao Rui and Wei’er will often come and visit Grandfather Qi, okay? As long as you want to come and play, you can call your Aunt or your Uncle Qi Lei. We will come and pick you up. How about it?”
Mu Zirui nodded, then suddenly lowered his voice and said softly, “Aunty Liuyun, I’ll tell you secretly that Grandfather Qi knows a lot about guns. He’s just like Great Grandfather before. He knows a lot. I want to be with him.”
“Does Xiao Rui really like guns?”
Dongfang Liuyun looked at Mu Zirui in surprise. He was so young, yet he had an incomparable love for military weapons. Could it be that when he grew up, he would really be like what Xi Xiaye had said, enter the army?
“Of course, when I grow up, I want to be a general! That way, I can protect my parents, my grandparents, and Wei’er and little brother. Of course, there’s also Uncle Qi Lei, Aunt Liuyun, and so many people…”
As Mu Zirui talked about his dream, his eyes lit up with antic.i.p.ation.
Dongfang Liuyun chuckled and patted his little head lovingly. Then, he looked at Qi Lei and smiled. “Are all children so mature this early nowadays? When I was Xiao Rui’s age, we were still playing with mud.”
“Xiao Rui, if you become a general in the future, I’ll marry my daughter to you, okay?”
Qi Lei smiled too.
This little guy really had Mu Yuchen’s aura sometimes. He was a good seedling.
“Mother won’t allow me to date, Uncle Qi Lei. Unless your daughter is very beautiful, I won’t take a fancy to her. My father said that we men should have some sort of pursuit when it comes to women!”
Mu Zirui thought for a long time before replying.
When he said this, Dongfang Liuyun paused. Qi Lei, who was in front of him, laughed softly, “Little brat, you’re talking about pursuit? Let me tell you, your Father only knows your Mother. What pursuit is he talking about? Your Uncle Qi Lei is the true killer when it comes to relations.h.i.+ps. Besides, your uncle is so handsome, and your Aunt Liuyun is one of the most beautiful women in the city. Our daughter must be quite outstanding too.”
“That might not be the case.”
“That might be the case. It’s right to be negative, but positive will always be positive.”
Qi Lei smiled.
“Enough. He’s so young, yet you’re instilling such thoughts in him? A killer of relations.h.i.+ps? You sound so proud.”
Dongfang Liuyun frowned and glared at the man in front of him.
Moreover, they did not even have a daughter yet and he was already thinking of marrying her off!
What if it was a son?
This time, Qi Lei coughed lightly and said innocently, “I didn’t mean anything by it. Even if I’m a killer in relations.h.i.+ps, didn’t I fall into your hands now?”
“Uncle Qi Lei, were you the one who chased Aunt Liuyun?” Mu Zirui asked in a gossipy manner.
