The next afternoon, after Qi Lei finished his work, he went to see Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye off.
Qi Wei’er did not really dislike Qi Lei. At least, when Qi Lei spoke to her, she could call him ‘uncle’ timidly.
“Listen to father, mother, and grandfather over there. If you have time, you can call uncle, okay?”
In front of Maple Residence, Qi Lei squatted down and patted Qi Wei’er’s head as he said softly.
Qi Wei’er nodded timidly and replied softly, “Okay… uncle…”
“Okay, be careful. Eat and sleep on time. Don’t be too playful and don’t run around alone, okay? You have to be with Zirui and the others…”
Qi Lei was worried and reminded her again.
“Uncle Qi lei, don’t worry. She’s very well-behaved. We’ll take good care of her.”
When he saw that Qi Lei was worried, Mu Zirui finally could not help but say this.
When she heard Mu Zirui say this, Qi Wei’er turned to look at him and smiled, “Thank you, little brother...”
Mu Zirui just pouted and ran over to pull Mu Xiaocheng who was hugging Xi Xiaye’s leg.
Qi Wei’er ran over as well when she saw this.
“Alright, don’t worry about the child being with us. This time, we’ll treat it as a trip. They’ve been wanting to go on this trip. We’ll take this opportunity to satisfy their wishes.”
Xi Xiaye’s calm voice sounded as she bent down to carry Mu Xiaocheng. The smile on her face looked very gentle and satisfied. Not far away, Mu Yuchen was explaining some work matters to Li Si, the bodyguards had already put their luggage in the car and were ready.
“Mmm, shall have to trouble you two then.”
Qi Lei looked at Xi Xiaye with some grat.i.tude.
“Mu Yuchen and I really like Wei’er. Don’t worry, we’ll treat her like our own daughter. Also, Xiao Rui, we’ve never hidden their backgrounds. We also want to…”
“I know. Thank you for your care. I believe that they’ll be happy in the future.”
“Mmm, I’m willing to believe that too. Also, you just cultivate your relationship with Mrs. Qi. Mu Yuchen told me about it, I’m very happy for you. I sincerely wish you all the best,” Xi Xiaye said earnestly.
Qi lei coughed lightly and smiled, “I don’t accept verbal blessings. Go back and discuss it with Mu Yuchen, see what kind of gift you’re going to prepare for me. When Liuyun and I hold our wedding, I’ll open your gift right in front of you.”
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye chuckled, “Don’t worry. I won’t be shabby. Can I sell Mu Xiaocheng to you to be your son-in-law?”
“Mommy… bad…”
Although Mu Xiaocheng was young, he could still understand some of the words. When he heard the word ‘sell’, he could vaguely sense something…
When the tender voice came out, Qi Lei and Xi Xiaye could not help but laugh out loud. Qi Lei even reached out to pinch Mu Xiaocheng’s face and smiled, “Sure. Mu Xiaocheng will be my son-in-law. Uncle’s little princess must be very beautiful and talented. I don’t want to keep the good things for outsiders now, so I’m letting you benefit for nothing.”
“Does he understand what you’re saying? If you really want to kidnap my son, you’d better go back and work hard with Liuyun. Let’s see if we’ll hear of your daughter next year. Two or three years younger than Mu Xiaocheng, that’d be perfect.”
…
It was only two o’clock in the afternoon when he sent the family off. Qi Lei did not return to the company but went to the hospital instead.
Naturally, he went to see Qi Qiming, but this time, w.a.n.g Chun went with him.
As usual, he gave Qi Qiming a simple wipe and settled him down.
“You’ve slept for so long and escaped for so long. If you want to sleep forever, that’s up to you. It’s the Mid-autumn Festival in a few days. I want to bring Liuyun, your daughter-in-law to pay respects to my mother. I don’t plan to bring her over to see you. If you want to know what she looks like, you can wake up and take a look yourself. I’ll go over to Qi Feng and Lingsha’s as well. I know they’re probably the ones you’re worried about the most.”
“Wei’er has been raised very well by Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye.”
..
Every time Qi Lei came over, he would simply say a few words to Qi Qiming. Although his tone sounded cold, w.a.n.g Chun could always hear a glimmer of hope from within—
Second Master Qi must also be hoping that Qi Qiming would wake up, right?
Moreover, was Second Master Qi’s marriage not what you were looking forward to, President Qi?
w.a.n.g Chun looked at Qi Qiming on the hospital bed, and he could not help but feel pain in his heart. He did not know when he would wake up. If he could wake up, he believed that he and Second Master Qi would definitely be able to reconcile?
They would not be petty about the past and continue to live in peace. Second Master Qi would have children, and then President Qi becomes a loving grandfather, would that not be great?
When he was done, almost an hour had pa.s.sed. It was already late outside. After giving some instructions to the nurse, Qi Lei left the hospital unhurriedly.
“Second Master, if President Qi continues to be in this state…”
At this moment, w.a.n.g Chun seemed to be more used to calling Qi Lei ‘Second Master’. After all..
“If he wants to keep sleeping, we won’t be able to wake him up no matter how hard we try. Let him decide himself. There’s no need to contact the doctors anymore. They’ve already done more than ten tests. Every hospital has given the same conclusion. No matter how hard we try, the result will still be the same.”
Qi Lei’s tone was very calm, and his dark eyes were as calm as water.
w.a.n.g Chun listened and took a deep breath before nodding. “Yes, I’m afraid President Qi really doesn’t want to wake up on his own. The incident with the First Master must have been a huge blow to him. He knows that the First Master has lacked love since he was young, so…”
“In my eyes, he’s just Qi Feng’s father. Don’t worry, I don’t want to care about that anymore. It’s all in the past, so let it be.”
Qi Lei did not want to think about those bad memories anymore. At least, facing him like this would make him feel better. It was a pity that w.a.n.g Qin died like that, she should not have. Now Qi Feng was dead too, a life for a life?
Would w.a.n.g Qin be able to come back to life?
As Qi Lei thought about it, he could not help but look up at the gloomy sky outside and take a deep breath—
Every time he thought about these things, he could not help but feel pain in his chest. It was not because he could not let go, but because the memories left behind were too deep.
“President Qi actually cares about you a lot too…”
When w.a.n.g Chun saw Qi Lei like this, he felt very bad. To be honest, even he felt a little sorry for this child.
“Forget it, it doesn’t meaning anymore, don’t need it anymore now. I’m old enough now, no need for others to care about me.”
