Chapter 1804: I Will Marry You In My Lifetime (3)

Qi Lei nodded and did not reply. Only then did w.a.n.g Chun leave.

The office immediately fell silent. There was no sound at all.

Qi Lei sat back down again with a gloomy look in his eyes. After he fell silent, he slowly reached out to open the drawer at the side. Just as he was about to take out the cigarette packet from inside, he was caught off guard. A photo frame that was flipped inside came into view.

He paused for a while before he took it out. In the photo frame was a photo of a family.

He thought about it, it seemed to be a family photo from a holiday.

In the photo were Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha, and of course, w.a.n.g Qin, Qi Qiming, and the others…

But now, many of the people in the photo were already…

Qi Lei stared at the photo for a long time. He did not look away until there was a knock on the door. Then, he took a deep breath and turned his chair around. He raised his head slightly and blinked as he looked out the window.

“Come in.” He replied calmly.

The door was soon opened. Secretary Bai Xiaowei walked in carefully and bowed very respectfully. “President Qi, President Xi from Fuhua Real Estate is here…”

Xiaye?

Qi Lei was stunned for a moment before he quickly said, “Let her in!”

Xi Xiaye actually came over to take a look around the area today. To Qi Lei’s surprise, she even brought Qi Weier over.

Qi Weier actually came over occasionally. Every time, w.a.n.g Chun would pick her up, so Qi Lei and Qi Weier were not considered estranged. Dongfang Liuyun did not seem to have had much formal contact with Qi Weier. Qi Lei was thinking about whether he should find a time to let the two of them meet properly.

Initially, Qi Feng had asked him to take care of Weier, but because of Weier’s illness, he had no choice but to ask Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye to help take care of her later on.

“Xiaye, Weier!”

Xi Xiaye and Qi Weier’s silhouettes had just appeared in front of them when Qi Lei stood up to welcome them.

Xi Xiaye was still the same as before. She was dressed in a light-colored dress. She looked beautiful and elegant, and she had the same low-key and peaceful aura that her husband, Mu Yuchen had on him.

He heard that after being together for a long time, the two of them would even have a similar aura. They were probably referring to couples like them.

Qi Weier was dressed in a very soft casual outfit. She looked very energetic, unlike before, when she was like a porcelain doll that would shatter at a touch.

“I thought you weren’t here. Weier, address your uncle.”

They were very familiar old friends, so Xi Xiaye was not so reserved. As she answered Qi Lei, she also sat down on the sofa.

“Uncle…”

Qi Weier greeted Qi Lei with a smile. She looked a little shy, but she was much better than before. At least, she dared to chat with others. Sometimes, she would even come over and stick to Qi Lei.

“Mmm, I haven’t seen you for a few days. You’ve grown a lot taller. Have you been good lately?”

Qi Lei’s large hand quickly reached out and patted her little head as he asked.

“Yes, Mother said that she’ll take us to the amus.e.m.e.nt park this weekend. Father will come too. Uncle, will you come with us?” Qi Weier asked.

“Uncle will play with you next weekend. Will you go home with Uncle tonight?” Qi Lei probed.

When Qi Weier heard this, her face instantly turned a little timid as she turned to look at Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye then smiled calmly. “Let’s find another opportunity next time. Tonight, I’m going back to the Mu Residence to visit Grandfather. Mr. Mu will go straight to the company to pick us up later. Today, I’ve specially come to visit you. How is it? Recently?”

Qi Lei let Yang Sheng bring Qi Weier in to have something to eat while he leisurely made Xi Xiaye some good tea.

“He’s still the same, isn’t he?”

“I heard about your father from Mu Yuchen some time ago. Yesterday morning, Mu Yuchen and I went to the hospital to visit a friend who was in the hospital. Aunty Liang said that his condition has stabilized and he’s still recovering, but his physical condition seems to have deteriorated a lot. He might need more rest later on.”

Xi Xiaye looked at Qi Lei as she spoke.

“It’s the same. I know that you and Mu Yuchen have been helping me look for experts overseas these past few days. I’ve also invited quite a few experts over to see how he’s doing, but everyone gave the same result, so I don’t have much hope.”

Qi Lei seemed very calm at this moment. As he said this, he took a sip of his tea and paused before continuing, “I’ve mentioned to Mu Yuchen before that I want to bring Weier back to the Qi family…”

“Bring her back to the Qi family?”

Xi Xiaye’s hand froze. She glanced at Qi Lei in surprise. “Why? Do you think we’re not good enough to Weier?”

“That’s not what I meant. She’s still a member of the Qi family. The things that Qi Feng should have will still belong to her in the future, so…” Qi Lei explained.

Xi Xiaye smiled, “I thought you were worried about something? Don’t worry. When she grows up, I won’t stop her from going anywhere. It’s just that her condition has just recovered. I think it’s better to let her have a more stable environment first. Moreover, I have two sons myself. My family is like a children’s paradise to begin with. Now, I won’t mind having one more. They’ll just be good company.”

Qi Lei was stunned when he heard this. He did not know how to reply.

Xi Xiaye was very understanding. She smiled and poured more tea into his cup, “I know what you’re thinking. We’re such close friends. Mu Yuchen treats you as a brother too. I don’t think you’ll treat us as outsiders, right? The matter between you and Dongfang Liuyun isn’t that simple either. I’ve heard some of those rumors.”

“You still have a tough battle to fight. Naturally, you don’t have the energy to take care of Weier. Why don’t you just leave it to us? I can’t help you with anything else. I can only do my part.”

“Actually, I want her to meet Liuyun properly too.”

“Liuyun is a very friendly person. Weier won’t reject her. Let’s wait for a while. Grandfather hasn’t been feeling very well recently, and we often need to go back to visit.”

“Didn’t Grandfather Mu feel much better before?”

Qi Lei could not help but frown when he heard that.

“It’s hard to say. It looks like he’s better, but he’s been doing worse mentally. After Grandmother left, Grandfather’s condition hasn’t been very good. Everyone knows that.”

“Grandmother Mu and Grandfather Mu have a deep relations.h.i.+p. They’ve been together for so many years. Grandfather Mu left so suddenly, and Grandfather Mu couldn’t help but… do you still hate Gu Qiwu?”

Qi Lei asked in a low voice.
