He should have realized it! As a matter of fact, he knew about all the uneasiness he felt in his heart. He did not understand it. Although he had already tried his best to achieve his wishes, no matter what he did, everything just backfired!

Why was his luck so bad?

Qi Feng seemed a little mentally fatigued at the moment. His eyes were dull and vacant, but his tensed face did not change much. He kept his eyes looking downward in silence as he just let Qi Qiming peer at him while he did not seem to have much reaction.

After quite some time, Qi Feng still had not spoken. The atmosphere in the study seemed quite depressed to the point that it left everybody in it almost breathless.

“Why don’t you speak up? What are you thinking deep down now?” Qi Qiming asked in his bold voice. His piercing gaze had never shifted away from Qi Feng’s good-looking face. However, it seemed that he had failed to capture anything of value.

A moment later, Qi Feng raised his eyes quietly, and they seemed composed. “Since you’ve made up your mind, what I think doesn’t seem to matter much anyway. Just go with your idea.”

His tone was calm, and there were no surges in his tone at all.

“Ah Feng, I know you’ll feel dissatisfied, but I also hope that you’ll understand my intentions. Your mum and I have been fighting each other for our whole life. I understand this feeling all too well. No matter what, you shouldn’t be pointing guns at your own people,” Qi Qiming sighed while he advised his son.

While listening to that, Qi Feng raised the corners of his lips and sneered. He leaned back onto the sofa as he lifted his eyes and stared into the ceiling.

“Father, what do your so-called’ own people’ mean? When your own people are helping your competitor to plot against you, and when your own people cut off your wings step by step just like your opponent, are those who you mean by my’own people’?”

If Qi Lei considered him as his so-called’ own people’, he would have appeared. Then, Qi Qiming would not have had to come and talk to him about this.

Qi Feng’s cold tone pierced through the air, and a smirk of disdain appeared on his face. There was also a hint of self-mockery in his tone. “I guess my relationship with him is somewhat crystal clear to you. Frankly speaking, I’m only an outsider in this family. What I wish to pursue always seems to be so far out of reach. I’m sure that I’m nowhere near comparable to him. After all, he’s more official and proper than I’m in every way.”

Qi Feng’s words put a frown on Qi Qiming’s face in an instant. “But you should know that the Qi family and I have never treated you shabbily. We’re a lot harsher on Xiao Lei.”

“Plus, don’t you have any explanation for me about the incident with Qi Lei from before? Why would Doris go for Xiao Lei? They’ve never had any grudges. Ah Feng, I hope that you can come clear about some of the matters.”

Qi Qiming’s flickering eyes were studying Qi Feng’s posture. However, his son chuckled nonchalantly. “What is there to explain? What do you expect me to say, Father?”

“Since you have doubts deep down, just do what you should do. I admit that the conflicts between Qi Lei and I are abysmal. While he won’t take me as his elder brother, I might not call him my younger brother willingly either. Isn’t he planning to checkmate me during the opening of Tai Yu Corporation?”

While Qi Feng was halfway through his sentence, he smiled scornfully all of a sudden. “I don’t think I have the brains to think to that extent, Father. You can do whatever you want. I don’t have much to say about it. I may not even have the ability to worry about those matters. As you can see, I’m still a cripple now.”

Having heard that, Qi Qiming’s expression changed drastically, but as he was about to say something, Qi Feng had already struggled to get onto his feet. “It’s late, and I’m tired. I’ll take my leave now. Rest earlier, Father.”

Qi Feng did not seem to want to talk much. With those few words, he staggered out of the room on his crutches.

Qi Qiming turned his head and glanced at Qi Feng’s somewhat lean and lonely figure, then he shouted with a frown, “Ah Feng!” However, Qi Feng did not slow his pace down, and his silhouette disappeared out of the doorway.

Qi Qiming’s creased his eyebrows even more…

…

The night had gotten later, but it was getting more and more boisterous outside. The sound of fireworks exploding could be heard non-stop as florid and magnificent light streams could be seen from a distance in the dark sky. Such a night was destined to be a sleepless night, and anybody would be able to feel the celebratory mood in the air just by standing under the sky and enjoying the view with their heads held high.

On a gorgeous and hopeful night like this, those who usually went to bed early would usually be filled with anticipation, and sleep would normally be difficult to come by. For example, Wei Wei, who was used to sleeping early, slept very late tonight.

Gu Lingsha watched the fireworks with her for a long while until she got a little sleepy. After tucking her to bed, she felt a little exhausted at that moment given that she had been busy all day, so she hurried back to her room.

After taking a warm shower and going back to her bedroom, she saw Qi Feng leaning against the bedhead with his eyes closed while resting.

He did not look well, and his eyebrows were wrinkled as his hand supported his forehead. His appearance looked a little pale. It seemed that he was enduring some pain.

Gu Lingsha’s expression changed slightly, and she rushed towards him, then asked anxiously, “Ah Feng, is everything alright? Are you ill, huh? Is there anything that hurts? Why is your face so pasty?”

Concerned, she extended her hand to test his body temperature, and all she felt was a cool touch on her fingertips.

Qi Feng pushed her hand away and took a deep breath. His hoarse voice sounded a little frail as he requested, “It’s no big deal. Bring me my medicine. It’s the one on the grid of the bookshelf to the right of my study. ”

“Another headache?” Gu Lingsha suggested in a worried tone, “Have you been under too much pressure recently? You’re always getting headaches lately. Professor Terl said that you should get more rest. Can’t those difficult matters be tackled at a future date?”

As she spoke, she went out searching for his medicine. She also poured him a glass of water when she was back.

Qi Feng consumed the medicine. Then, he inhaled sharply, slowly closed his eyes, and continued resting.

“Was it something Father said? Otherwise, why would you be like this all of a sudden? I already noticed that something was off with your father during the dinner. What happened?” she could not help but ask.

“DO you think he was a little moody tonight?” Qi Feng asked faintly.

Gu Lingsha paused and thought about it for a second, then stared at him in silence. “Is it because of Qi Lei?” She was cautious with her words while looking at his gloomy expression.

Immediately, Qi Feng sneered while opening his eyes. Then, he took a glimpse at her. “Did you just guess that too?”

Gu Lingsha’s expression stiffened.
