Gu Lingsha caught Qi Feng’s reaction too, and she felt her heart sink. Inhaling deeply, she calmed herself down before saying, “It’s fine, Ah Feng! I trust that with your intelligence and wisdom, taking over Qi Kai and letting those people serve you won’t be a hard thing to do. Haven’t you done that all these years too?”

Upon hearing that, a sneer flashed at the corner of Qi Feng’s lips. His gaze at Gu Lingsha suddenly seemed a little sharp and pressing, yet his tone was cold as ice. “Shasha, I’m sure you know what kind of person I am.”

“Ah Feng...”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Lingsha peered down at Qi Feng’s legs with a mixed expression as she muttered, “Do the doctors abroad have no way at all? I just don’t believe it. If even your face and your voice can be cured, there’s no way your legs can’t recover.”

“If it can be cured, do you think I’d be willing to stay on this wheelchair?” Qi Feng’s voice was cold, and you could hear that hint of hostility in it.

Gu Lingsha also felt taken aback by the hostility that he exuded. After she thought about it, she turned to her daughter sleeping restlessly in bed as her beautiful face instantly darkened. “It’s all because of Mu Yuchen. If it were not for his cruelty back then, all of this wouldn’t have happened. Lingtian already begged, and still, he wouldn’t let go of us.”

When she recalled this, Gu Lingsha could not help but tear up. She covered half her face and said in a raspy voice, “Lingtian’s gone, and you’ve become like this. Then, there’s Weiwei and that child we had no fate with while everyone still thinks Mu Yuchen’s really innocent! Lingtian died to protect me and our child. All these years I wake up almost every night from nightmares. I see Lingtian’s face covered in blood and he couldn’t say a word...I...It hurts so much...”

At this point, Gu Lingsha could not continue anymore. She covered her face with both hands and breathed heavily as she started to tremble slightly.

Qi Feng’s indifferent and gentle face flashed with gloominess. She looked silently at Gu Lingsha who was trembling slightly. For a long while, he did not say anything, but he clenched his hands that lay by his sides.

“Only we know best the pain we’ve gone through these past few years, but Mu Yuchen lives freely. I thought that he would feel a hint of guilt or a bit of uneasiness, but no, he didn’t! He’s just like before, and now, even Qi Lei’s changed too. I...” Gu Lingsha’s voice sounded a little clogged while her azure eyes could help but tear up too.

Upon hearing that, Qi Feng looked even gloomier and upset. “Has Qi Lei been in contact with Mu Yuchen all this while?”

Gu Lingsha breathed in, hesitated, and then shook his head. “Not really, but when Wang Qin was around, Qi Kai had collaborations with Glory World. Qi Lei took charge of that project. He...he seems to be interested in Mu Yuchen’s woman, Xi Xiaye. Earlier, when Uncle Qi wanted me to take over Qi Lei’s work, that woman made things tough for me. She was very protective over Qi Lei.”

When she said this, Gu Lingsha suddenly got up and walked to Qi Feng until she reached him. She stopped and suddenly gripped Qi Feng’s hand that was on the armrest as she said, “In fact, I suffered quite a few times with her. That woman’s not simple, so we have to be more careful.”

Qi Feng did not say anything, yet his eyes flickered from dark to light. His expression was so calm that you could not tell what he was feeling then.

He fell silent for a moment before he asked Gu Lingsha softly, “Are you saying Qi Lei likes Xi Xiaye?”

Gu Lingsha’s eyes flickered for a bit, then she smiled a little desolately. There was an unexpected sadness in her heart as her mind flickered with those things Qi Lei had said to her before. She felt a bitterness rise in the back of her throat.

She calmed herself down and said softly, “Qi Lei’s changed a lot these past few years, especially after Aunt Wang’s unfortunate passing. When he’s back and you meet him, you’ll understand.”

“By the sound of that, I should really get to know my younger brother properly again.” Qi Feng suddenly smiled. His silent eyes flashed as he silently pulled his hand away and held them together. He studied Qi Weier in bed, then continued, “Alright, don’t be too worried about Weiwei. She’s been doing quite well. I think when her condition stabilizes, we’ll just let her be like normal children and let her have her childhood. It’s not a good thing to coop her up at home. She’s got to go out eventually.”

“But she’s so weak. What if...” Gu Lingsha looked at Qi Feng hesitantly.

“You can’t stay by her side forever, and if she keeps being cooped up at home, she’ll become a useless person like me after that. Will you be happy to see that happen?” Qi Feng frowned and fixed his gaze on Gu Lingsha.

Gu Lingsha was dazed for a moment. She turned to look at the little one on the bed, suddenly feeling her heart clench. When she looked away and saw Qi Feng looking down calmly at his own legs, a cold light flashed in Gu Lingsha’s eyes.

“Alright, there’s no use being sad right now. Let’s just think about how to take good care of her.” He lifted a hand and gently patted the back of Gu Lingsha’s hand. Then, he turned around in his wheelchair and slowly left.

Gu Lingsha’s eyes became blurry. She looked up and breathed in deeply a few times.

When he was about to leave the room, Qi Feng suddenly said, “Visit Lingtian with me in a few days. Since he passed, I haven’t had the chance to pay respects to him.” Before Gu Lingsha could answer, he had vanished out the doorway.

Compared to City Z’s liveliness, City B seemed much quieter. Late at night, a heavy storm that had been brewing finally poured, engulfing the entire city in wetness. The warm air finally cooled down. The heavy rain continued till late at night. When it was close to midnight, it finally slowed down.

At this moment, on the pedestrian walkway of Fatong Avenue near Hua Tian Hotel in City B, the dim streetlights elongated the two tall figures’ shadows, so you could see that the duo was not walking very steadily.
