Xi Xiaye stood there silently while her brows were knitted slightly. Then, she closed the document in her hand before handing it to Xiao Mei.

“We meet again, Miss Xi,” Qi Feng greeted politely as if there was no evident conflict between him and Mu Yuchen. He acted as if he were an intimate friend with Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye paused, then nodded.

When Qi Feng saw that hint of vigilance in her eyes, the curve of his lips widened. He lifted a hand to gesture for Morrison to stop, and the man consciously stood aside.

“Interested in a chat?” Even though he asked, Qi Feng had already pressed the button to move forward, so his wheelchair slowly moved closer to her.

While Xi Xiaye did not answer, Xiao Mei knowingly stopped and looked silently at her boss, afraid that Qi Feng would do something. Only after Xi Xiaye gave her a look that told her not to worry, she then felt at ease and moved quietly to the side.

“I didn’t see the two of you at the wedding. I was a little disappointed, Miss Xi.”

“We couldn’t make it, but the gifts did. Those were our kind regards since we were busy, but I’m sure you wouldn’t be thinking of the two of us because of that, were you, Master Qi?” she answered in a poised and dignified manner.

With a calm smile, he stopped what he was doing and stopped the wheelchair. “You have to put up your guard. Even though I did some things against Mu Yuchen, I have a clear distinction between what I love and what I hate. Every evil deed has its instigator, but I wouldn’t put that on you. In fact, my daughter fancies you, so at the very least, you are a good person to me.”

Upon hearing that, Xi Xiaye raised her brows in amusement at Qi Feng and was surprised when he suddenly mentioned those things.

She did not hide her dissatisfaction with Qi Feng at all and calmly voiced out her thoughts, “No, Master Qi, I know about all sorts of grudges between you and Ah Chen. I do also take on his burdens for the so-called responsibilities. In fact, I’m not a good person. I’m always wishing for threatening people like you to disappear, including Gu Lingsha and the rest.”

“Do you know about everything between me and Mu Yuchen? Has he told you all about it? Including Mu Lingtian, his marriage contract with Shasha, and why I ended up like this?” Qi Feng smiled faintly and fixed his gaze on her.

Although she did not answer, her bright eyes already answered him. Qi Feng asked in his low and raspy voice, “Miss Xiaye, do you believe in karma?” His eyes were filled with a light that flickered from dark to light, making him seem sly and unpredictable to Xi Xiaye.

She thought about it for a moment, then answered calmly, “Only if it applies to you, then I believe in it.”

“Is that so?” When Qi Feng heard that, an evil smile flitted across his handsome face. “Looks like I’m probably a heinous man to you.

“Before this, I didn’t seem to understand why Qi Lei would be so different from the way he was six years ago, but right now, I seem to get it. I heard that you’ve made things difficult for Shasha quite a few times now, hmm?” Qi Feng’s eyes were filled with probing as he looked at Xi Xiaye mysteriously.

“Are you planning on how to seek justice for her?”

“Seek justice?”

Qi Feng raised his handsome brows, then smiled to say, “Do I look like the kind of person who’d haggle over every petty thing? Besides, our relationship right now is quite subtle, isn’t it?”

Subtle relationship? Xi Xiaye squinted.

“Whether or not you want to admit it, no one can change the fact that Shasha and Mu Lingshi are sisters. Isn’t that right?” Qi Feng challenged.

Upon hearing that, a light flashed in Xi Xiaye’s eyes. She stared at Qi Feng, and her hands that fell to her sides were tensed gently.

“I don’t understand why you’re saying all of this to me.” She did not want to beat around the bush with him. Her instincts told her that the man before her was someone hard to read, and she did not like interacting with people like him, what more with Qi Feng who had so much against Mu Yuchen.

“I don’t have any intentions. I just want to make a deal with you and I wonder if you’d be interested.” Qi Feng raised his brows and smiled faintly at her.

“I’m not interested. I won’t be interested in any deals with you. If you want to pick on Lingshi’s matter, I can tell you that my position is solid, and I’ll approach it however Mu Yuchen does. If you want to talk about a deal, you should just talk to him.”

Xi Xiaye was not a fool. She did not need to show off her abilities because she trusted that Mu Yuchen would have his own plans. If she made a move rashly, it might mess his plans up.

Upon hearing her reply, Qi Feng only smiled calmly and did not say anything more. He then slowly turned around in his wheelchair.

“Xi Xiaye, I don’t have ill intentions. I knew about Gu Qiwu and Doris too. Mu Yuchen is capable, but I hope he won’t regret this decision. Perhaps, one day you’ll regret rejecting my offer of a deal today.”

Qi Feng’s raspy voice contained a faint coldness that reached her ears. Although it was a blazing hot day, Xi Xiaye could not help but shudder. The moment Xiao Mei saw that, she quickly went up to hand Xi Xiaye a coat.

“CEO Xi, put this on first. The breeze by the river’s a little cool.”

Xi XIaye silently watched Qi Feng vanish ahead. A solemn expression gathered on her face. After a while, she took the coat.

“Master, Xi Xiaye is so disrespectful! How about I get someone to give her a little lesson? That way, Mu Yuchen will also be worried. Hmph, how terribly rude of her!” Morrison’s cold voice voiced out. He had heard most of the conversation from earlier.

“No need for that. Besides, are you sure you can touch her?” Qi Feng looked up at the staircase where two black-clothed bodyguards were watching from above.

“She’s Mu Yuchen’s Achilles heel. Unless absolutely necessary, let’s not touch her. Besides, to make a move on a woman isn’t what I want. Furthermore, she’s a special woman...”

After that, Qi Feng chuckled. “Did we get any news from Professor Terl?”

“He’ll come over to treat you, Master. As long as you’re willing to go with their recovery plan, they’re very confident about helping you walk again!”
