Chapter 418: Happy Times (3)

She breathed in, and with one hand propping up her head, her clear gaze looked towards the page in her hand. When she saw those diagrams, she immediately recalled the document that Qi Lei had sent over that afternoon.

“Ah, I almost forgot!” she cried out and got up.

“What is it?” He looked up to her, yet saw that she had already put on her shoes and was rushing towards the door. A while later, she brought a document back.

“This! Take a look! Qi Lei delivered it this afternoon. It’s amended based on our requests. I’m not too well-versed with this. We should get the opinion of the discussion group, so I brought it back.”

“Qi Lei? When has he become so proactive? He even sent it over personally?” he asked with a deep voice as he squinted at her.

Xi Xiaye shrugged. “Who knows? But based on this blueprint, it should be his work. I heard that he’s an outstanding student in a certain prestigious university abroad for construction, and even did his Masters in management. He sounds like he’s pretty clever.”

“You are also a graduate of a prestigious university abroad,” he simply answered, and then flipped the document open. “He’s quite talented at barely 30 and he’s already gotten quite a few awards. I do quite admire him personally. He has high potential. If he was seriously unearthed, he’d be far better than Qi Feng…”

As he mentioned Qi Feng towards the end, he subconsciously stopped talking. His movements abruptly paused too while his still eyes dimmed. After that, he did not go on either.

Xi Xiaye naturally took in all his reactions. After thinking about it, she then clung onto his arm. “But to me, no matter how excellent he may be, he’s far from being compared to you!”

“You’re really getting more and more self-aware now.” He then smiled.

“Of course, no matter how good someone else may be, they wouldn’t be mine. Only your kindness to me is real. However, he said unkind things about you in front of me, yet you said you admire him to me. Based on this alone, Mr. Mu, you trump him.”

When he heard her declare so, his gaze turned gentle. To be able to hear praises from her obviously made him very pleased.

…

The husband and wife couple patiently and meticulously went through the whole design blueprint and made notes where minor amendments were needed. When they were done, it was close to midnight. Xi Xiaye was quite tired that she almost could not keep her eyes open. Mu Yuchen had just kept the things away when she had already fallen asleep.

Mu Yuchen got up to put the documents away in the study room, then he laid back down.

“Mu Yuchen…”

He had just laid down when she subconsciously reached out to search for him. Nowadays, it was almost a routine every night. When she could not sleep soundly, she would call out to him and reach out to see if he was still by her side.

“Hmm?” He would also respond by routine naturally and without waiting for her to answer, he would pull her tightly into his embrace.

Every time at this second, his heart would melt and he could not help but feel a slight ache because he wanted to possess her even more.

He was not sure when he had actually begun to have such vulnerable and tender feelings.

On calm and warm days, he got used to her presence. Now, he unexpectedly willingly became addicted to her.

All of these wonderful things would continue on…

Meanwhile, in this dead of the same night, that in a certain luxurious villa in the Grand Lakes Area.

As usual, Qi Lei habitually stood in the breeze on the second-floor balcony in his pajamas after a shower and watched the flickering light on the lake across.

Cough cough! Cough cough!

In the cold wind, his coughs came from time to time.

This time it really was quite bad. He had not recovered after resting at home for a few days. Earlier on, he even had to be put on drips.

It was all because of that woman!

If it were not for being caught in the rain that day, he would have recovered from his cold by now. She had even tricked and tormented him, upsetting him thoroughly!

Qi Lei covered his mouth and coughed harshly a few times. He subconsciously reached into his pocket to get a handkerchief, yet he found a little metal box instead. When he took it out to look, he realized that it was the cough drops he had gotten from Xi Xiaye in the afternoon.

He gazed down at it for quite a while, then his handsome face relaxed. It was not the usual demonic charm on him. Instead, he looked much more gentle right now.

He fell silent for a while, then suddenly turned to walk towards the bedroom behind him. Taking huge strides to the side of his bed, he pulled the drawer open. Inside was a sketchbook.

It was Xi Xiaye’s sketchbook that he had picked up from the hospital the other day.

He put the little metal box inside, and then closed the drawer before he laid down comfortably on the huge bed.

However, just as he laid down, his phone vibrated. Looking at the screen, he saw that it was Assistant Yang Sheng.

He stared for a while before he answered it.

The phone call had just gotten through when Yang Sheng’s anxious voice came through.

“Master Qi, the butler at Qi Park just called. He said that the CEO is back and had a huge argument with the Madam who left the house angrily in the dead of the night. She drove by herself. Madam cut her hand when she made dinner for you the other night and it still hasn’t healed…”

When he heard this, Qi Lei instantly frowned. An incredulous look crossed his handsome face. “These arguments are common. Mother’s not a child either. What are you worried about?”

Qi Lei was quite calm since he was already used to all of these and did not find it out of the ordinary.

“But, Master Qi, it’s already past midnight right now. Madam, she…”

Yang Sheng still could not help but want to say something more—

“Don’t worry. She has an apartment in Century City. She should be there. Get someone to take a look,” Qi Lei said quite calmly. Then before Yang Sheng could respond, he hung up.

As he watched his phone screen dim, Qi Lei’s handsome face slowly curved with a sneer.

Pa!

In the darkness, a black shadow cut through the air and shot straight towards the wall across. Then, with a resounding smash, the phone that had been in his hand earlier shattered into pieces on the ground…

The brand new phone was turned to scrap.

He took a deep breath as he took the pillow beside him and covered his face with it. Immediately, intense sounds of coughs could be heard in every corner of the room!

He was done dealing with these conflicts for all these years. Initially, he thought that maybe it would get better once he moved out, but who would have thought…?
