Chapter 1168: Doubt and Suspicion (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qi Feng did not want any infighting to happen, so he tried to calm the situation down.
Gu Lingsha was really sensitive lately. Perhaps, she was really upset about Gu Qiwu and Doris.
“Unreasonable? Ah Feng, how could you say that? Have you ever tried to help me out in any way since my parents were in conflict? You know that I’m having a tough time, and then now there’s Mu Lingshi to worry about. Don’t you know what’s awaiting me?” Gu Lingsha bit her lip, her eyes betraying her panic.
“You’ve misunderstood, Manager Gu. First Master has nothing to do with Xi Xiaye and was about to visit Mr. Gu for a discussion…” Morrison could not stand it any longer, so he decided to speak up.
Gu Lingsha stared at him coldly. He instantly kept quiet and moved aside. Then, he swiftly and quietly left the office.
Only Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha were left inside the room.
“I don’t mind putting in the effort if I can get them to reconcile, but do you think it’s possible now that things have turned out this way?” Qi Feng’s eyes turned hard. “Could you accept it if you were them? Do you really think you can help them not be suspicious and unreasonable with each other?”
Gu Lingsha’s expression froze when she saw his unhappy glance. She took a deep breath and said, “Ah Feng, I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m just worried that Xi Xiaye has some other intentions by suddenly giving you flowers like this. It’s odd. I’m worried that she might try to brainwash you like Qi Lei. The conflict between Mu Yuchen and I can’t be solved with just a few words. Now that you still can’t walk, and with Weiwei like that, plus Lingtian…”
“If you understand that her effort is futile, then why worry? Do you really think I’d forget our purpose here?” Qi Feng asked as he left the doc.u.ment on the table. “You’ve not been doing well recently. The psychiatrist will be counseling Weiwei at home. You should stay with her and take a break from work. Father doesn’t seem to be in a good mood too, but I can’t really take time to visit because of work.”
Qi Feng looked at Gu Lingsha with his earnest eyes. “Just stop worrying and focus on being Mrs. Qi. Other women aren’t important, so you don’t have to be suspicious at all. Yes, Weiwei likes Xi Xiaye, but you just have to spend more time with her and let her depend on you. No matter how much of a failure I am, I don’t want my wife to suffer.”
Her anger calmed down a little., “Alright, but…if Xi Xiaye sends you anything else in the future, you have to turn it down! Just who does she think she is?”
1He nodded.
Gu Lingsha grabbed the doc.u.ment on the table and headed out, trampling on the white chrysanthemums she just threw on the floor on the way out.
…
“First Master!” Morrison quickly came into the office after Gu Lingsha left. “Are you alright?”
Morrison understood Gu Lingsha’s att.i.tude pretty well. She was very suspicious of others, so he gave Qi Feng a worried glance.
As Qi Feng waved his hand, Morrison went over and pushed towards the working table.
“She’s not the same person as before now. She panicked after experiencing those stuff. She’s still a woman after all…” Qi Feng sounded helpless.
“First Master, the issue between Mr. Gu and Madam Gu is enough to keep her anxious. With Ms. Weiwei like that too, it’s been pretty tough for her. However, she truly loves you. She’s still been by your side after all these years, hasn’t she?”
Although Morrison was not very fond of Gu Lingsha, he did not want their relationship to end.
“I’ve known Lingsha for over 20 years. She’s the only one I’ve been with. I’ve always wanted her to become my wife. If she can continue like this, the position as Mrs. Qi will naturally be hers. However, her performance has been disappointing lately. She becomes really irrational every time things involve Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye. I’m sure you’ve heard about what happened. If not for Weiwei, she might have actually gotten married to Mu Yuchen,” Qi Feng said in a depressed tone while his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
“So, Master, you think that Manager Gu…she might actually have intended to marry Mu Yuchen at that time?” Morrison had been working alongside Qi Feng for many years, thus he could somewhat guess what he was thinking.
Qi Feng did not answer and just closed his eyes. “Mu Yuchen is influential after all, and I personally admire him a lot. However, it’s just in the past. We can’t go back ever again. Shasha has always been my woman. Moreover, Mu Yuchen has Xi Xiaye now.
“Mu Yuchen is indeed capable. He’s one of the most powerful people in City Z, so it won’t be easy for us to go against him. Su Chen and Zhou Zimo will be troublesome to deal with as well. There’s also Second Master…I’m a bit worried about him, especially with CEO Qi’s att.i.tude recently.”
“Did something happen to Qi Lei lately?”
“Not really. He’s been going to work on time and then staying at home after work. He hardly leaves his house. Ever since w.a.n.g Qin died, his personality has suddenly changed. I suppose w.a.n.g Qin’s death left a huge impact on him and CEO Qi as well.”
“I have my own thoughts about Qi Lei. As for Mu Yuchen, I’ll make sure that he’ll have it rough later on. Give Gu Qiwu a call. I need to have a talk with him.”
“Yes, First Master! I’ll contact him right away.” Morrison nodded before leaving the room.
