After a day of rest, he had finally recovered.
On Monday morning, Dongfang Liuyun woke up very early. When she woke up, she also prepared breakfast. She did not wake Qi Lei up. Instead, she simply had some and went straight to work.
As for Qi Lei, he slept until close to noon. After that, he received a call from Yang Sheng. Then, he unhurriedly got out of bed to wash up and eat breakfast.
When Yang Sheng rushed over, Qi Lei was looking at his morning glories under the corridor in the backyard. Dongfang Liuyun and the housekeeper were taking good care of them. They were growing luxuriously, and a few purple flowers were already in full bloom.
The drizzle outside continued. The Mid-autumn Festival was about to arrive. It was autumn, and the air was slightly cold. Qi Lei was dressed in light gray household clothes, and he wore a simple coat on his shoulders.
“Master Qi!”
Yang Sheng’s voice came from behind.
Qi Lei listened and pointed to the seat beside him. He was holding a cup of slightly hot water and drinking it carelessly.
“How are the arrangements?”
Qi Lei’s voice came from behind.
“According to Master Qi’s instructions, we are preparing in an orderly manner. We won’t let down Missus. Don’t worry, Master Qi. The invitation has been sent out, and the few artistes will follow the company’s arrangements,” said Yang Sheng confidently.
Only then did Qi Lei nod. “Alright, the rest is up to you. Don’t neglect the matter.”
“Yes, Master Qi. Don’t worry. We’ll handle it well,” replied Yang Sheng.
Qi Lei casually poured him a gla.s.s of water and said, “You’ll be in charge of this matter for the time being. You can temporarily put aside the company’s matters. You can make plans for the rest later.”
“Alright, Master Qi! However, the company’s matters have piled up quite a bit. You might be a little busy in the next few days. Oh, right, w.a.n.g Chun and I have already prepared the betrothal gifts for the auspicious day after the Mid-autumn Festival. We’ll definitely handle it smoothly. The gift for the Mid-autumn Festival for you to return to your father-in-law’s house, Master Qi. Hehe… We’ve also prepared it.”
Yang Sheng was a very dedicated person. He was so dedicated that Qi Lei could not help but look at him approvingly.
“a.s.sistant Yang, you’ve done your best for me. Even your Missus has praised you and suggested that I give you a raise. What do you think? What kind of treatment or reward do you want? I’m in a good mood today. Tell me and I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”
Qi Lei said generously, and then he took another sip of water.
Yang Sheng was stunned when he heard that. He thought for a long time before he said, “There’s no need for any reward. Master Qi, the treatment you gave me is already good enough. Ordinary Vice Presidents can’t even compare to it. I was thinking when you and Missus have a Young Master, and then I’ll be satisfied.”
“These words should have been said by my mother. How did it become your line?”
Qi Lei’s lips curled into a smile as he said.
Yang Sheng coughed twice before replying, “Master Qi, just take it that I’m blabbering and helping Vice President w.a.n.g remind you. Vice President w.a.n.g was waiting on this day for a very, very long time. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see it. However, I believe that she’s in heaven watching down, and if she sees that day come, she’ll definitely be very happy.”
Speaking of w.a.n.g Qin, Yang Sheng actually did not feel too good. He was very grateful for w.a.n.g Qin.
If it were not for w.a.n.g Qin back then, there would not be the Yang Sheng today. He might have been working as a laborer in some corner of the world, and be living a stressful and urgent life every day.
“I did let her miss it, so you guys have to be more mindful. Don’t follow my path. In this life, I’ve never done anything that I regret. The only thing that I regret is this.”
As Qi Lei spoke, he suddenly took a deep breath and looked up at the gray sky outside. His expression was a little gloomy.
He did not want to say anything regretful, but now..
His five fingers pierced through his fine ink-black hair, and his dark eyes reflected some melancholy.
Every time he mentioned w.a.n.g Qin, other than regret, he also felt an unbearable sadness. He could not really let go, and he still felt a little breathless
After all, he had carried w.a.n.g Qin into the hospital like that. In the end, w.a.n.g Qin had died in front of him.
The world was unpredictable. who could control the separation of life and death in the world?
People would never know what tomorrow would be waiting for them…
“Master Qi, Vice President w.a.n.g has long gone to the Elysium World. She won’t suffer the pain she suffered before. You don’t have to blame yourself so much. Vice President w.a.n.g is actually a very good person, but…”
Yang Sheng wanted to persuade Qi Lei to do something, but before he could finish, Qi Lei had already cut him off—
“It’s just that her life wasn’t good. When she joined the Qi family, she made a mistake. If she had rejected it back then, the rest wouldn’t have happened. But then again, if that’s the case, I, Qi Lei, wouldn’t be here.”
Qi Lei took a deep breath, put down the cup in his hand, and leaned back in his chair. “If I gave her another chance, she might not have chosen to marry Qi Qiming.”
“Master Qi, that might be the case. Vice President w.a.n.g loves you so much. I think she would still choose to give birth to you,” Yang Sheng disagreed.
“Alright, there’s no need to talk about these hypothetical questions anymore. It’s meaningless to say more. It’s just a topic to pa.s.s the time. Do your job well today, and I won’t mistreat you.”
Qi Lei’s interest waned as he said this. He was about to stand up straight when the phone on the table next to him started ringing.
Qi Lei leisurely took it over and looked at the caller ID. It was a very unfamiliar number…
He frowned and did not pick up.
However, just as he hung up, the phone started ringing again. At this moment, Qi Lei picked it up—
“h.e.l.lo?”
A casual voice was heard.
“h.e.l.lo, is this Mr. Qi Lei?”
The person on the other end quickly replied politely.
“Yes.”
Qi Lei responded faintly as well. He was very sure that he did not seem to know who the other party was. However, when he heard this voice, he thought it was a little familiar as if he had heard it somewhere before.
“h.e.l.lo, President Qi. I’m Lan Xiu, Dongfang Liuyun’s good friend. I’d like to meet you. Is it convenient for you now?”
Lan Xiu!
When these two words entered Qi Lei’s ears, it surprised him. He immediately froze…
