Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qi Feng leaned against the chair after the door closed. The chill on his face disappeared and only fatigue remained...
At times, Qi Feng had no idea what his purpose of living was.
Was he doing all of these for the sake of revenge or for his family?
Did he really have a family?
He never felt like he belonged to a family. He always received sarcasm from Wang Qin and Qi Feng treated him coldly
1He did not do anything wrong, but why did life treat him this way?
Just because he was an illegitimate child?
No matter how well he performed, he was still branded as subpar when he was beside Qi Lei.
Besides Wang Qin looking down on him, his grandparents sided with her as well, and Doris also looked down on him.
He always hid his feelings and never complained to anyone. People only saw how Qi Qiming showered him with love, thinking that he always provided him with the best, but no one knew that was the only good thing that happened to Qi Feng.
He struggled on the brink of death, and now he looked past it all.
He did not want to believe his life revolved around tragedies. He wanted to make it out, not just for benefits. After all, he just did not want to lead a boring, ordinary life...
He must not!
...
On the other hand, Qi Lei, who had been caught red-handed by Mu Yuchen, was feeling uneasy after he fled.
1What a coincidence!
He quickly finished his discussion with his client before returning to his office. The clueless Yang Sheng followed behind him.
After they got out of the elevator and was on the way back to Qi Lei’s office, Yang Sheng could not help but ask, “Master Qi, what happened? You don’t seem alright.”
Master Qi had been acting weird and kept blushing since the afternoon. He also seemed a little annoyed as though he was a young girl who just got confessed to!
“What’s wrong? I’m fine.” Qi Lei took a pause and glanced at him although his gaze did not seem very pleased.
Yang Sheng raised his eyebrows and caught up with him to probe again, “Master Qi, Master Qi, did Ms. Dongfang accept your confession? Or did you steal Ms. Dongfang’s equipment in the game again?”
He could only think of these situations that might have made him flustered. Yang Sheng had been speaking with Qi Lei more casually nowadays, and he found that his boss was actually pretty easygoing after he got to know him better.
“Yang Sheng, you’ve been relating everything I do to Dongfang Liuyun. Are you interested in her? Don’t you already have a wife? Forget about her. Disregarding the fact that she’s my woman now, do you really think you can keep her under control?”
1“Master Qi, how far have Ms. Dongfang and you gone?”
Yang Sheng particularly captured the fact that he mentioned she was “his woman”, so his eyes brightened up.
Qi Lei shot him a disgusted look. “I’m saying that in the game, women like her...”
He took a deep breath and continued, “She’s not an easy target. I have no idea what I need to catch her attention.”
“Antiques! Master Qi! Everyone knows Ms. Dongfang loves antiques!” Yang Sheng said.
“Can you become an antique yourself and let her study you? We’re just friends. We might not be that compatible.”
“Master Qi, I know you like a woman like Ms. Xiaye, but there’s only one Xi Xiaye in this world, and she already belongs to Mu Yuchen, so stop thinking about her. You can’t always cling to her, can you?” Yang Sheng gave Qi Lei a worried glance.
Qi Lei slowed down as he put his hands into his pockets, then said, “Yang Sheng, between Mu Yuchen and I, who’s better-looking? Who would a girl prefer?”
Yang Sheng was shocked by his sudden question, but he smiled. “Of course, it’s you. Chairman Mu seems boring. You’re generous and handsome. Plus, you have a humorous personality, thus I’m sure you score much better than him! It took Chairman Mu so many years to just have one scandal with Ms. Xiaye. How could he compare up to you?”
1“Are you an idiot? Do you think I don’t know you’re just flattering me?! I know myself. Mu Yuchen is pretty good...He’s handsome and talented...What’s with that look? I don’t think of him that way...”
“Manager Gu...” Yang Sheng suddenly said.
Qi Lei looked forward and instantly saw Gu Lingsha holding a document in her hand while walking towards his office.
Qi Lei halted his steps the moment he saw her, and his expression returned to its usual calmness.
She gave him a complicated glance. It was a confused, doubtful glance. Somehow, she overheard Qi Lei mentioning something about not looking at Mu Yuchen that way?
Could it be...
“What’s the matter?” Qi Lei interrupted her thoughts.
“Lei—”
Gu Lingsha felt hurt by his cold and distant attitude.
Nevertheless, he gave her a cold glance and noticed that she looked pale and exhausted. Then, he opened the door to his office.
“Come and talk inside. Yang Sheng, get me a cup of tea and a cup of coffee for Manager Gu.”
