Say It If You Like It (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were not many things to be done at the office and there was no meeting in the morning as well, so Xi Xiaye decided to bring Mu Xiaocheng along with Aunt Fang so that the latter could help her to take care of the toddler.
It was already past 10 a.m. when Xi Xiaye arrived. Her current office was previously Shen Yue’s office, and it became hers after a little bit of renovation.
It was a huge office. The floor was decorated with a thick, clean carpet, allowing Mu Xiaocheng to crawl around everywhere just like in Mu Yuchen’s office.
Aunt Fang waited in the resting lounge. She would only come over when Xi Xiaye summoned her.
It was Xiao Mei’s first time seeing Xi Xiaye bring her son over. She was tempted to play with Mu Xiaocheng since he looked so cute and handsome.
However, Mu Xiaocheng seemed a little shy. He quickly ran and fled to Xi Xiaye when Xiao Mei approached him. He grabbed Xi Xiaye’s leg and slowly stood up, making Xiao Mei smile. “CEO Xi, Young Master is pretty smart. It’s obvious to see that he’s Chairman Mu’s son. He looks just like him, but his eyes look like yours!”
“He does look like Chairman Mu, but I wonder who his naughty nature resembles. His father can barely handle him. Luckily, he’s not a crybaby.”
Xi Xiaye smiled as she put down her doc.u.ments and gently lifted Mu Xiaocheng to put him on top of her lap. Mu Xiaocheng chuckled a little before wrapping his arms around her neck.
“Naughty kids often achieve great things. I’m sure Young Master will be as successful as Chairman Mu in the future!”
“As long as he doesn’t be a troublemaker, I’ll take care of things here. You can get back to your work.”
“Yes, CEO Xi—”
Rat-a-tat!
There was a knock on the door before Xiao Mei could finish her sentence.
“Come in.”
The door opened and Xi Xiaye’s secretary entered the room. “CEO Xi, Vice President Qi from Qi Kai is here!”
Qi Lei?
Xi Xiaye paused for a moment before replying, “Let him in.”
The secretary and Xiao Mei then left the room.
Xi Xiaye brought Mu Xiaocheng over to the sofa. She then heard the sound of footsteps closing in, so she turned around and saw Qi Lei coming in.
“Why did you bring him here? Are you sure you can handle it?” Qi Lei offered to hold Mu Xiaocheng for her. “Little guy, do you still remember the handsome me? Smile for me. Come on, smile! Though you look like your father, you’re much more handsome than him, unlike his icy cold features!”
He lifted up Mu Xiaocheng, and the little guy giggled happily.
“Don’t spoil him. Even his father doesn’t always do that to him. I’ll get Aunt Fang to feed him now.”
Xiao Mei came in with some tea and Aunt Fang then carried the little guy out of the room.
“Why are you here? How have you been doing? I heard from Vice President Liu that Chenye Movies and Television is going well. Seeing how relaxed you look, it’s not too tough for you, is it?” Xi Xiaye asked.
“I’m alright. I just happened to be around the area, so I decided to visit you. About what happened recently…is everything alright?” Qi Lei took a sip of the tea and asked.
“Thank you for asking. Everything is fine. I heard that CEO Qi isn’t feeling well. What happened?”
Xi Xiaye found out from Lan Zilang that Qi Qiming had been feeling unwell. She a.s.sumed he might have been too furious about what happened at Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha’s wedding.
“He’s a little mentally unstable.”
Qi Lei lowered his head and looked at the cup of tea for a while before he continued, “Actually, he seems to be a little odd ever since my mother left. I can sense that he genuinely regrets my mother’s death. What irony.”
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. “He regrets it? Is he regretful about how he treated CEO w.a.n.g before? Or something else? From an outsider’s perspective, CEO w.a.n.g and CEO Qi were married for several decades, so I guess feelings could’ve been born from friction. I saw CEO Qi some time ago, and he seemed tired.”
“There’s no need to continue. My mother would’ve still been alive if that person even cared for her a little. Well, she isn’t coming back anymore. I’m just letting you know that the old man’s health is getting worse. He’s been pretty demotivated to care about the company lately too.” Qi Lei’s eyes darkened.
He took a deep breath and said, “Qi Feng is going to join the company in the next few days. I think I’ll be affected when he’s done familiarizing himself with the operations.”
“So, you mean, Qi Qiming is going to let Qi Kai take over Qi Kai?” Xi Xiaye was surprised.
Qi Lei continued drinking his tea and smiled. “I guess so. He already decided way before Qi Feng and Shasha got married that he wanted Qi Feng to get familiar with Qi Kai’s operations after they got married. Now that Qi Feng is by his side, he’s prepared to hand the company to Qi Feng.”
“What about you? What will happen to you once Qi Feng takes over Qi Kai?” Xi Xiaye frowned as she gave Qi Lei a worried glance. “I thought CEO Qi has been pretty nice to you lately. Does he really trust Qi Feng that much? Has he never doubted Qi Feng at all regarding the incident last time?”
“I don’t expect him to change his views about me. He’s decided all along to leave Qi Kai for Qi Feng anyway, so I don’t really care.” Qi Lei’s tone was plain while his eyes were cold and quiet, not revealing any emotions.
However, Xi Xiaye could hear a sense of helplessness and bitterness coming from him.
It was not about Qi Kai. Qi Lei never really cared about these superficial matters anyway. What really disappointed him was the difference in treatment.
