After all the dishes were served on the table, Qi Lei walked towards the living room. Only then did he realize that Qi Wei’er was riding on Qi Qiming’s back while Qi Qiming was lying on the sofa with Mu Zirui tugging at the corner of Qi Qiming’s shirt, the few of them laughed happily together!
Qi Lei was stunned as he watched this scene in front of him in a daze. He could not believe it!
How could the arrogant and cold Qi Qiming do all of this?
Be a horse for the children to ride?
It was unbelievable!
“What…”
Dongfang Liuyun saw that Qi Lei did not respond for a long time, so she followed him. When she saw this scene, her eyes widened!
What was going on?
Qi Qiming was a horse for the children?
“How could Father…”
After a long while, Dongfang Liuyun chuckled. “He still has a childish heart. So, he likes children this much too? They seem to be having a good time.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s voice was heard. Only then did Qi Lei recover from his daze and take a deep breath, “Since he woke up, he changed a lot compared to before. If this was in the past, I wouldn’t even dare to think about it. After this, would his personality change too?”
“I don’t know if it will change. I just look at him now. He seems to be very happy, maybe not as depressed as before. Maybe he was forced to do a lot of things in the past. As long as he is well, there is no need to think too much.”
Dongfang Liuyun chuckled and walked in.
“Okay, stop it, Father. Your body has just recovered. You can’t play such games with the children. Xiao Rui, Wei’er, Grandfather’s body has not fully recovered. Stop it. Hurry up and clean up. Wash your hands and have dinner.”
Dongfang Liuyun carried Qi Wei’er down.
Only then did the grandfather and grandson behave themselves.
“Aunt Liuyun, what delicious food have you made for us?”
Mu Zirui blinked his bright eyes and looked at Dongfang Liuyun—
He felt that this aunt was really beautiful, on par with Xiaye at home, Uncle Qi Lei was handsome. A gentleman would be able to marry a very good-looking wife, so he had to be like his father and Uncle Qi Lei in the future. He had to be handsome too, he had to be elegant too. Then, he would be liked by beautiful and gentle girls like his mother or Aunt Liuyun.
Perhaps if his mother liked his father less, or Aunt Liuyun liked Uncle Qi Lei less, they would like him?
The more Mu Zirui thought about it, the more he felt that he felt like he was in a good mood.
“Of course, it’s all what you like to eat. Go wash your hands with the servant before coming over for dinner, hmm?”
Dongfang Liuyun reached out and patted the two of them on the head.
“Oh!”
Only then did the two children follow the servant downstairs to wash their hands.
A few minutes later, the whole family finally sat down to eat.
During the meal, Qi Qiming frequently brought the children’s favorite dishes to them and even let them eat more.
Mu Zirui and Qi Wei’er were not strangers at all. Qi Wei’er knew Qi Qiming before and was not considered a stranger. It was not difficult to get along with him.
After dinner, Dongfang Liuyun went to the second floor with the children to play games. Qi Qiming and Qi Lei were drinking flower tea in the living room downstairs.
“I heard that Wei’er had a tendency to be reserved before. It seems that she’s fine now?”
Qi Qiming looked at Qi Lei, who was watching the show, and suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Qi Lei lowered his eyes. A moment later, he glanced at him. Although his att.i.tude was still a little cold, his tone had softened a lot.
“After the accident, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye brought Wei’er to Maple Residence. Wei’er really liked Xiaye to begin with, and coincidentally, she had Xiao Rui as her companion. They gave Wei’er very considerate care and took care of her very carefully. Under their careful care, Wei’er’s condition improved and she slowly recovered. She’s recovered like a normal child now, but her body is still a little weak,” Qi Lei answered calmly.
“Mu Yuchen… the Master of the Mu family, right? Xi Xiaye…”
Qi Qiming did not seem to remember Xi Xiaye, but when he recalled the doc.u.ments he had collected before, he remembered a little.
“I see… I heard that you and Mu Yuchen are very good friends now?”
Qi Qiming had some dealings with the Mu family before this. The Qi family and the Mu family had some history before this. The relationship between the two families had broken up after the incident with Mu Zixi.
Now that he thought about it, Qi Qiming could not help but feel a little dazed.
“Yes, we’re buddies now.” Qi Lei admitted it without hiding anything.
Qi Qiming did not question anything. Instead, he took a deep breath, “It’s good that you have your own thoughts. I can’t interfere in your matters. You can make your own decisions. It’s better if you don’t show up at the casino. The waters are very deep. Fortunately, w.a.n.g Chun did not involve you too deeply.”
Qi Qiming could not help but sound tired when he brought this up.
“Didn’t Grandfather ask you to whitewash all of this when he was still alive? Why now…” Qi Lei asked with some doubt.
Qi Qiming listened and gave him a deep look, “Many things aren’t as simple as they sound? It’s not easy to whitewash just because we want to? How much blood did the Qi family have on their hands previously? It would be fine if it was just a simple whitewash, but how many enemies have we provoked over the years? Even if you want to live a peaceful life, those people might not let you off. So, you must still have a trump card in your hand.”
Qi Qiming raised his hand and rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. He said helplessly, “These years, many problems that can’t be solved are solved by these forces. Did you really think the circle s so clean? In your dreams!”
Qi Lei naturally understood Qi Qiming’s words because he had used these forces many times.
“I know this, but…”
“There’s no ‘but’. It’s better to have a trump card than no trump card. You don’t have to care about this matter. I’ll take care of it. Anyway, I’m idle at home now. I’ve slacked off a little during this period of time. The casino’s business and the auction house’s business are falling behind. I know you’re not focused on these things, but I’ve checked your wife Liuyun’s information. Her background isn’t simple. I’m afraid the De Bao House incident this time isn’t simple either, right?”
Qi Qiming had heard everything. He had also heard about the incident with Dongfang Liuyun.
“The police said that it was an accident.”
“What can the police find out? Hmph, I’ve talked to the police before. Isn’t your mother an example? I’ve asked w.a.n.g Chun to ask a detective to investigate this matter.”
Qi Qiming’s dark eyes suddenly turned cold when he said this—
