Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qi Qiming stared at Qi Lei for a while before replying, “I agree to your terms, but you have to wait until my retirement before you receive the stocks.”
Qi Lei laughed coldly. “Sure, I’ll add another extra condition then. I won’t stay at the Qi residence. Only the two of us will know about the agreement. I’ll get it certified in secret and no one else will know about it. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what I might do!”
It was tragic that the blood-related father and son would need to have an agreement like this for the sake of profits. Qi Lei found it ironic, but there was nothing he could do about it.
“Alright then, I’ll be alone here tomorrow before 8 a.m., so you can come at that time. I’ll be discharged at around 10 a.m. After the checkup, I want you to come and pick me up. The reporters might be present as well, so be prepared,” Qi Qiming replied.
Qi Lei put on a cold smile, then he left the room without saying anything else.
Qi Qiming watched his son’s back as he left, not having a very good feeling about things as he let out a deep sigh.
…
As Qi Lei was walking towards the elevator, he noticed Mu Yuchen at the end of the corridor, talking on the phone with someone.
Mu Yuchen turned his head around when he heard the sound of footsteps coming near. He gave Qi Lei a curt nod when he saw him. As Qi Lei shrugged and stopped beside him, he swiftly ended his phone call.
“Why are you here at this time?” Mu Yuchen gave him a doubtful glance as he asked.
“I came to visit Xiaye and I also had something to discuss with my old man. I didn’t see you inside the room just now, and Xiaye was asleep. I just asked the doctor about her condition. It’s great that she turned out fine.” Qi Lei rested his arms on the opened window while the night breeze brushed his cheeks.
“She’s fine. She’ll be able to go back home after her condition has stabilized. Don’t worry about her. You seem to be glowing as if something good just happened to you.” Mu Yuchen was able to discern something different with Qi Lei.
“Fortunately, I was able to set up an agreement with Qi Qiming though I’m surprised that he changed his att.i.tude, but that’s not important now. I only care about the results in the end. By the way, I have something to tell you. I’m not sure if it’s bad news.” Qi Lei squinted his eyes at Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen raised his eyebrows, giving him a signal to continue.
“The Qis and the Gus are going to establish a marriage relationship. Qi Qiming has already asked Gu Qiwu to come here to discuss it. This was what you were trying to hide from me before, wasn’t it?” Qi Lei said.
As expected, Mu Yuchen was unfazed by this information at all because he knew it all along!
Qi Lei smirked. “I’m not sure if I should be impressed by your calmness, or if I should praise your ability of foresight. Alright, I should be heading back now. I’ll be back here tomorrow morning to speak with Qi Qiming again. He’s getting discharged tomorrow and I have to put up an act with him. Naturally, Qi Feng will come as well. My hunch tells me that the two of you will meet again very soon. You haven’t met ever since he came back, right?”
“I don’t want to see him though.” Mu Yuchen did not try to hide his disgust towards Qi Feng. His expression turned stony and Qi Lei sensed a chilly vibe from him.
Qi Lei ran his fingers through his hair and then nodded. “Okay, you will meet whether you like it or not. Don’t forget about Xiaye’s misfortune. That Morrison a.s.sistant of his is getting on my nerves. He’s the one that got Xiaye injured. If something happens to him, it will be the same as Qi Feng taking a hit at himself. I’ll head off now. Bye!” Qi Lei turned around and left.
Mu Yuchen raised his eyebrows slightly as he called after Qi Lei, “Hey, I’m not someone with a violent past. I don’t use force.”
“I don’t believe you. I know what you did to Yue Lingsi!”
Mu Yuchen was stunned for a moment when he heard Qi Lei. He then walked towards Xi Xiaye’s room with a grin.
…
Mu Yuchen kept on smiling when he entered the room. Xi Xiaye noticed it and could not hold back her urge to ask, “Did something good happen? You look happy. Why don’t you share some good news with me?”
He hid his smile and coughed slightly before replying, “Nothing really. I just thought that Qi Lei can actually be humorous.”
Xi Xiaye smiled. “He looks like a street thug, but he’s pretty fun to work with unlike you. Your humor cells are really lacking!”
“Am I not humorous?” he asked.
Xi Xiaye gave him a firm nod.
“I’m a man of beauty. Humor is only needed as a spice in life. You didn’t like him before, did you?” Mu Yuchen said shamelessly.
Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him as she sat up. “Mr. Mu, I miss our son. My wounds are already healing. Can I leave the hospital tomorrow? Only my palms hurt now though I’ll be more careful about them.”
“I’ll ask Grandmother to bring him here tomorrow, but the doctor will have the final say on whether you’ll be discharged or not. ” Mu Yuchen ignored her pitiful expression.
Xi Xiaye looked defeated. “Never mind then. He’s too young. I don’t really want him to come here. I’ll ask the doctor tomorrow. I don’t like the smell of the antiseptic here. Wasn’t Sis w.a.n.g a nurse before? I’ll be fine with her taking care of me. Please, Mr. Mu?”
She grabbed his arm and begged like a little girl asking for some candy. Mu Yuchen was defenseless against her, so he patted her head and said, “We’ll listen to what the doctor says. Let’s do it if he says yes.”
