Chapter 1463 - Crisis 3



Chapter 1463 Crisis 3

As Yang Sheng nodded in response, he turned his head to look at Qi Lei who had stopped in front of the glass window and was silently looking at Qi Qiming in the room.

After thinking about it for a moment, he quietly turned around and followed behind Wang Chun as they left together.

Qi Lei stood in front of the glass window in a daze. After hesitating for a long time, he finally walked towards the door and opened it before entering the room and standing next to Qi Qiming’s bed.

It had never crossed his mind that Qi Qiming would go through something like this.

His impression of his father had always been paranoia to him. For many years, he could only seem to recall unpleasant memories when he thought about Qi Qiming. Qi Lei knew that if he had a choice, he would definitely not have chosen this man to be his father.

However, many things seemed to be destined and there was no way to change it, especially blood relationships. Qi Lei could only accept the fact that they were related.

His mother, Wang Qin, was an arrogant and fearless person. He used to have a bad impression of her, and it was not until her sudden death that he suddenly realized that many things did not seem to matter as much anymore.

As they said, happiness was not about having everything. Instead, it was to care less. Therefore, he had always been accepting and tolerant to the point where he had nowhere else to go, so…

Qi Lei convinced himself that even if it had nothing to do with grievances, he was just trying to fulfill his duty as a son since there would probably be many people watching and judging him. Thinking this way made him feel better.

After taking a deep breath, he pulled a chair out and sat down slowly as he quietly looked at Qi Qiming. Yang Sheng, who just came back with some hot supper, hesitated for a long time as he waited outside. He finally knocked gently on the door.

It was certain that a night like this would be a restless night, and Qi Lei was not the only one who could not fall asleep.

At the Maple Residence, the lights in the entire house had dimmed. Even the wall lamp by the window that used to be on all the time was off. Occasionally, there would be light coming in from the reflection of the street lights in the front yard.

Xi Xiaye lay on her side, then tossed and turned until she wriggled out of the arms of the man behind her.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you feel well?” he asked because he noticed that she had been on edge the whole night and she had not eaten well during dinner either.

“It’s okay. I just feel uneasy and I’m afraid that something’s going to happen.” Xi Xiaye sighed. She would not normally feel this way, except for the time when her grandmother, Liang Fuhua, had passed away. She had also felt the same disquietude in her heart.

Mu Yuchen slowly reached out to turn on the bedside lamp when he heard her lament. The bright light immediately lit up the entire bedroom. He sat up straight and turned to look at the woman next to him. He saw that she had also opened her eyes and sat up.

“Are you still worried about Qi Lei?” His deep voice expressed concern, and his eyes were as deep as the ocean. When Xi Xiaye turned her head to look at him, she was immediately drawn to him.

In fact, she had never been able to resist him when he looked at her like that.

“I can’t explain it, but I feel a little uneasy and it doesn’t feel good,” Xi Xiaye said while brushing her hair with her lean fingers.

“Why are you worrying so much? Just let it be,” Mu Yuchen said to her disapprovingly. He pulled the blanket off his body and tied his messy bathrobe. Then, he left the room and returned with a glass of water shortly after that.

“Have some water.” He sat down next to her and passed her the glass of water in his hand.

Xi Xiaye inhaled and took the glass before taking a few sips distractedly. “Maybe it’s because the year has just begun and there are already so many problems. I feel like I can’t cope, especially in the past two days. I’ve been feeling a little burned out.”

“Didn’t Dr. Zhong say that you’re under too much pressure? What are you stressed about? Uncle Lan and the others are already taking care of everything at the company. Don’t you think your man is capable of handling things?” he seemed a little upset.

She raised her hand to drink up the water in the glass and returned it back to him.

“Do you want more?” he asked calmly.

Xi Xiaye shook her head and lay down on the bed. She looked at him and said calmly, “You worked really hard today, and thank goodness you did in time. Otherwise, Qi Lei would have suffered even more. Mr. Mu, I actually feel like my life experience is quite similar to Qi Lei’s, but I think I’m more fortunate than him. Do you feel sorry for him? You seemed to be really concerned about him.”

“Who else do you think was the reason behind this if not you?” Mu Yuchen pointed out as he glanced at her. He calmed down and continued, “You know, Qi Lei and I were sort of enemies, so why would I be concerned about him?”

“So, do you mean…you did it because of me?” The corners of Xiaye’s mouth curved into a smile as she glanced at him.

“Why else would I do that? I don’t like trouble, and I’m not one who can just befriend my enemies. Moreover, there are plenty of other good people in the world, and he’s not the only one. Understand? “he told her with a glare.

Xi Xiaye chuckled after he said that, and her slender arms gently wrapped around his shoulders. She leaned towards him and her silky hair that fell over her shoulders fell right in front of him.

“Okay, I know, I know. You treat me well, and my decision to choose you right from the beginning wasn’t in vain, right? I made the right decision, haven’t I?”

His expression seemed more relaxed now. He wrapped his long arms around her and let her lie down on his thigh as he ran his fingers through her soft silky hair. “I told you from the very start that I will never let you suffer if you marry me.”

“We don’t know that yet. When we get old, will you still treat me the same way as you do now? You can only prove it by doing so.”

“Then…should I just hire a female secretary tomorrow?” he glanced at her and said.

“Don’t you dare!” She glared at him with her cold eyes before he could go on. “I’ll get the Human Resources Department to fire her immediately! Do you still want a female secretary?”

“Well, you’re always worried about me otherwise.”

“Can’t I just be dramatic? You’re so popular that every time you go out alone, I feel so much pressure that I have to be around you to feel secure!”
