111. The Inheritance

The next day, Qi Le An got up when the sun was high in the sky. The hangover brought him a slight headache, and his lower part was slightly uncomfortable from last night’s craziness. Thankfully, Wei Chang Feng was gentle enough. He made sweet soup for sobering and massaged Qi Le An on the waist in bed.

“How are you feeling?” asked Wei Chang Feng considerately.

Qi Le An felt that Wei Sama had two different sides in and out of bed. He said with a long face, “I don’t want to get out of bed today.”

Wei Chang Feng smiled and said, “Then just stay in bed.”

The white bed was very soft, where Qi Le An rolled around and asked, “Will you stay with me?”

Wei Chang Feng nodded, “Of course, I provide some food service. What would you like for lunch?”

“Well…” Qi Le An thought for a moment and said, “I want to eat ice cream.”

Wei Chang Feng asked, “Do you want to have loose bowels?”

Qi Le An said with a grievance, “I wouldn’t have that!”

Wei Chang Feng patted Qi Le An’s head with a smile and then turned on the TV for him, “Then I’ll go make ice cream.”

Qi Le An laughed loudly.

After Wei Chang Feng left the bedroom, Qi Le An started to look at the room. The room was clean and bright with simple but tasteful furniture, which showed the soft style of Wei Chang Feng. Qi Le An leaned against the bed and shuffled between the TV channels, thinking that Wei Chang Feng had such a residence in Hai City.

Qi Le An was paying close attention to the real estate price recently, and he sighed, thinking his plan to keep Wei Chang Feng was unattainable.

About twenty minutes later, Wei Chang Feng returned to the bedroom with a bowl of fruit plate in his hand. “Eat some fruit. We will have lunch later.”

“What are we having for lunch?” asked Qi Le An.

Wei Chang Feng fed Qi Le An with an exquisite fork, “Didn’t you say ice cream?”

Qi Le An was pissed off. ‘Why does he keep joking since he doesn’t get me ice cream?’

But after a while, when the doorbell rang downstairs, Qi Le An finally knew that Wei Chang Feng was not kidding.

“Ice cream… fondue?” Qi Le An was surprised.

Wei Chang Feng nodded with a smile, “Do you want to eat downstairs or shall I bring it up to you?”

Qi Le An had heard of ice cream fondue before, but he had never tasted it. He immediately became interested and said, “Go downstairs and eat!”

They went downstairs. The small hot pot had been placed on the dining table. On the hollow-out golden alcohol burner, there was a double-flavor pot, half of which was the white chocolate sauce and a half was the black chocolate sauce. Next to the pot, there were small dishes of various desserts and ice cream scoops, which looked appetizing.

Wei Chang Feng lit the alcohol burner, and the thick fragrance of chocolate came out soon. He carefully placed a cushion on the chair and said, “You can only eat a little. The main course is something else.”

As he spoke, the oven made a sound. Wei Chang Feng put on the oven mitt and brought out two plates of cheese-baked rice.

Qi Le An’s stomach was rumbling.

‘My God! When did Wei Sama come down to prepare these things!

And, the living room was already cleaned up. How did he manage to do that?’

Wei Chang Feng put cheese-baked rice on the wooden mat on the dining table and said, “Let it cool down a bit. What do you want to drink?”

“Red wine?” Qi Le An asked.

Wei Chang Feng smiled and turned around, throwing a few oranges into the juicer.

Eating the ice cream hot pot and the rice, Qi Le An leaned back on his chair contentedly and shouted, “I’m so happy.”

Wei Chang Feng nodded and agreed, “I am also very happy.”

Qi Le An giggled. Wei Chang Feng asked, “Do you like this place?”

Qi Le An liked the open kitchen, the long dining table, the large living room, and the sunny small garden. He nodded earnestly, “It’s awesome.”

Wei Chang Feng smiled and said, “It seems that I chose the right gift.”

Qi Le An blinked, not knowing what he meant.

A gift? What did Wei Chang Feng mean?

Wei Chang Feng took out the key with which Qi Le An opened the door yesterday and said, “I thought of a lot of things… Finally, I decided to give this place to you as a gift.”

Qi Le An was stunned.

“No… Wei Sama.”

“Listen to me first,” Wei Chang Feng interrupted Qi Le An and said gently, “This is my eighteenth birthday gift. I designed the whole house. I was thinking of living with my loved one here.”

“So don’t refuse, okay?”

Wei Chang Feng looked at Qi Le An gently.

Qi Le An swallowed his rejection, sighing. He said with a smile, “Wei Sama is really… Aren’t you afraid that I will run away later?”

Wei Chang Feng dipped the diced melons in the chocolate fondue and put some on the plate in front of Qi Le An, saying indifferently, “I’ll catch you if you run away.”

Qi Le An thought that he was planning how to keep Wei Chang Feng a short time ago, but now he was being kept by him.

After lunch, Qi Le An and Wei Chang Feng cleaned up the table and washed the dishes together. In the afternoon, it was sunny. Qi Le An was suggesting a stroll when he received a call from Chen Shan.

“What?” It’s convenient.”

“Really…?” I’m not sure.”

“Wait. Was it a fraud?”

“Then should we meet?”

Qi Le An hung up the phone and frowned. Wei Chang Feng asked, “What’s wrong?”

Qi Le An took a deep breath and said, “Chen Shan said that a lawyer contacted him, saying he will hand over my parents’ inheritance.”

Qi Le An said with an uncertain look on his face. How could his parents have an inheritance? There was no such thing in his previous life. He didn’t believe it at first, and he thought this was a fraud, but Chen Shan had verified the identity of the lawyer, who had no problem at all.

Wei Chang Feng frowned when he heard this. He only had a general idea of Qi Le An’s family background.

“I’ll accompany you,” Wei Chang Feng said without hesitation.

Qi Le An nodded in confusion. According to Chen Shan, it was not a small sum of money. The lawyer couldn’t get in contact with Qi Le An, so he went to Chen Shan. Qi Le An thought back to his previous life… He had never seen this sum of money.

The place to meet was not far from the house. Qi Le An took a shower and changed his clothes before setting out. Wei Chang Feng personally drove Qi Le An to the meeting place. Qi Le An entered the cafe according to the address sent by Chen Shan.

Upon entering the cafe, Qi Le An saw a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses in a silver suit. He glanced at Wei Chang Feng and walked over.

Wei Chang Feng sat down not far away from him.

The cafe was very quiet and the price was very high. Every seat was covered with green plants, which made it a good place to talk about business.

The middle-aged man knew that he was Qi Le An, standing up and shaking his hand. “Hello, I’m Tang Le.”

“Hello, Mr. Tang,” Qi Le An shook his hand and said, “I’m Qi Le An.”

Lawyer Tang smiled friendly and the two of them sat down. Lawyer Tang said, “Mr. Qi, I was worried that you wouldn’t see me… The situation is like this. Your father is Qi Xiaoguo and your mother is Lu Pingjin. Is that right?”

Lawyer Tang took out an old photo from the file bag and handed it to Qi Le An.

Qi Le An glanced at it and abruptly started to tremble. “How do you have this?”

There was a couple in the photo. The man was handsome and the woman was gentle. They snuggled together and wore the most common clothes from ten years ago.

Qi Le An had a photo with his parents, who looked exactly like the couple.

“How do you have the photo of my parents?” Qi Le An asked again. His parents left very few photos behind, let alone the photo of them together. Even the photo on their tombstone was their wedding photo.

Lawyer Tang knew that Qi Le An would get emotional, so he quickly said, “Mr. Qi, please calm down. Qi Xiaoguo and Lu Pingjin left this photo to our law firm. They appointed us with a task ten years ago.”

As he spoke, Lawyer Tang took out the file and handed it to Qi Le An.

“Mr. Qi, please take a look at this.”

Qi Le An took the file and quickly flipped through it.

It was indeed a power of attorney from ten years ago, stating that after their only son Qi Le An turned 18, the law firm would hand over the property of the couple to Qi Shengli, who would decide on the division.

“This file should be handed over to your grandfather, Mr. Qi Shengli. However, Mr. Qi had already passed away, so we started looking for Mr. Qi Da Zhu. Unfortunately, the address and the phone number had been changed, so we went to your agent.”

As lawyer Tang explained, Qi Le An quickly recalled.

In his previous life, Qi Le An had always been a trainee being bullied, and the address and phone number of his uncle had never changed. If the lawyer looked for his grandfather, he would find his uncle. After the incident last year, his uncle couldn’t stand the gossiping of their neighbors, and they moved away and changed all contact information. The lawyer went to the old address and naturally couldn’t find anyone there.

At that thought, Qi Le An’s heart skipped a beat.

After two lives… Did the things that his parents left to him finally come back to his hands?

Qi Le An’s eyes turned red.

Lawyer Tang observed him closely and said, “If everything matches, Mr. Qi should take the inheritance.”

“Wait.” Qi Le An recovered from the shock and came back to his senses. He said, “You say you were entrusted by my parents ten years ago, but my parents…” They died six years ago.

Four years before their death, his parents entrusted a sum of money to the lawyer, asking to give him the money ten years later?

Why did he feel suspicious?

Qi Le An quickly turned the file to the last page and saw the stated amount of money. He was stunned.

“A million?” Qi Le An looked at lawyer Tang in disbelief.

Lawyer Tang pushed back his glasses and nodded.

“How could my parents have so much money?”

In his few memories, his parents were always busy. They worked in scientific research, and sometimes they didn’t even go home for many months. Qi Le An vaguely remembered that the finance of his family was quite good, but one million… One million yuan was the amount that ordinary people needed to work for a long time today. But his parents had one million ten years ago?

A sense of fear suddenly rose in Qi Le An’s heart.

Was the death of his parents an accident?

“Mr. Qi, apart from the money, your parents left a letter to you.”

Qi Le An abruptly looked up at lawyer Tang.
