Chapter 1415 Lost Without You 1
“Tell the kitchen staff that they don’t have to reheat the dishes.”
Qi Feng walked towards the front stairs after saying that. As he walked up the steps, he appeared to be struggling, but he continued walking determinedly. Morrison did not dare to step forward.
“Master, you…” Morrison murmured.
Qi Feng did not respond either as his thin figure slowly made his way further up the stairs and eventually disappeared from sight…
When Gu Lingsha walked in, she saw what was happening, so she frowned. Her eyes darkened as she looked at the empty stairs. “What happened?”
Morrison took a deep breath, unable to hide his worries, so he said, “Maybe Mr. Qi’s matters made him feel uncomfortable…”
Gu Lingsha listened and she could vaguely feel that something was wrong. Her brows were knitted. “What’s the matter? Explain.”
“President Qi went to Grand Lake Villa. I heard that he goes there quite often these days and stays for dinner. Tonight was no different. The young master waited all night, and the food was reheated twice already, but we haven’t seen Mr. Qi yet. I’m afraid that Young Master won’t be in the mood to eat now,”
As Morrison said that, he took another deep breath. “Missus, please console the young master. I’ve noticed that his condition hasn’t been very good lately, and it’s a critical time for his legs to recover now. It would be best to make sure that nothing goes wrong.”
Gu Lingsha’s eyes darkened, and she calmed herself down before nodding. “Ask the kitchen to make some century egg and meat porridge.”
Gu Lingsha then made her way upstairs.
Meanwhile, Qi Feng was using all his strength to push the door and he was already sweating profusely. His whole body felt a little weak. While he used the door frame as support with one hand, he was about to step inside the room. Unfortunately , his legs did not have enough strength and he leaned forward.
Bang!
There was a loud sound, and he immediately felt a sharp pain.
“Ah Feng!”
As soon as Gu Lingsha rushed up and saw him, she was extremely worried. She hurriedly went forward and helped him up.
However, Qi Feng gritted his teeth and pushed her away with a sullen face. Then, he stood up painstakingly with one hand holding the cold door frame as support. He looked a little pale, and she could tell that he was in pain, but …
“Ah Feng! Are you injured? Does it hurt? The doctor said that you just need to exercise moderately and you can’t just rush it. Look at you. Your face is so pale!” Gu Lingsha’s azure blue eyes were full of pity as she said that. She walked over and held his arm. “Let me help you. You should rest well.”
However, Qi Feng freed himself from her grip and pushed her away while he said hoa.r.s.ely, “No, I’ll do it myself!”
Gu Lingsha stiffened after being pushed away. Seeing how he gritted his teeth and put on a tough face, she could feel her heart aching. After hesitating for a while, she stood by him silently and carefully reached out her hands to protect him.
She had always known what Qi Feng’s temper was like. When he got stubborn, no one could do anything about it just like when he was silently enduring the pain in his legs without mentioning it to anyone at all.
However, the more this happened, the sorrier she felt for him.
It felt as if a century had pa.s.sed when Qi Feng finally returned to the sofa in the room, looking exhausted. He was gasping for air as his clothes were drenched, and his forehead was also beaded with sweat.
Gu Lingsha quickly prepared a warm towel for him and wiped the sweat off his forehead. She carefully ma.s.saged his legs. “How do you feel? Is it painful? Do you need Professor Terl to come over and took a look? If it hurts too much, a painkiller will help. You’ve been exercising too much these days. Remember that too much of anything is bad, Ah Feng!”
“It’s okay. I know my own body.” Qi Feng took a deep breath and bent over to pick up the gla.s.s of water on the table in front of him. However, his complexion did not look very good.
“Don’t try to be tough. Morrison already told me about what happened. Maybe Father just wanted to savor his relationship with Qi Lei. After all, Qi Lei is still his son. With regards to Aunt w.a.n.g, Father has issues that he just can’t fix, so how he reacted is natural. Don’t think too much. I think Dad…” Gu Lingsha tried to persuade him while she quietly looked at Qi Feng.
Qi Feng clenched the cup in his hands. After a long time, he lowered his gaze and sneered, “You don’t understand, Shasha…I know Father better than anybody else. It was different before, but now… I don’t want to hurt anymore, and I don’t want you all to hurt either.”
“Ah Feng, don’t worry. Qi Kai will be yours. We have put so much effort into the business. We’ll have to wait for the shareholders’ meeting next year since Father’s health hasn’t been great lately. Since Aunt w.a.n.g pa.s.sed away, he was already struggling to find the strength to do things. Moreover, wasn’t it his intention to give you more experience by making all the arrangements before? Now that Qi Lei has left the Qi Kai Group, what’re you still worried about? Father has always loved you very much,” Gu Lingsha comforted Qi Feng, but the smile on his face slowly faded and turned into a mocking smile…
He did not want to explain any further to her. Even if he did, she probably would not understand it. If there was really no other way, then he had no choice…
Qi Feng’s gaze flickered over Gu Lingsha, and as he looked at her, he felt dazed. He wanted to say something, but he did not know what…
As it went deeper into the night, the cold wind was howling outside while the lights and shadows danced.
In the study on the second floor of Maple Residence. Xi Xiaye had finished reading another doc.u.ment. She subconsciously looked up at the clock on the side of the wall, and it was already 11 o’clock at night, but she still had not seen the man she was waiting for. She had made several phone calls to him, but he did not answer either. If she had not called Li Si just now to find out that he was still working overtime at the office, she might have been. ..
Whoosh!
The wind outside was getting louder. Xi Xiaye frowned and looked out of the French windows only to see that it was pitch-black outside. She could vaguely see faint silver flashes of light, thus she quickly got up to take a look and realized that it was hazy outside…
She hesitated for a while but could not stop thinking about it. She hurriedly left the study, took her coat off the rack, and grabbed her car keys before she hurried down the stairs.
