The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1252 - Anger 2

1252 Anger 2

Qi Feng was never generous by natural disposition. At such a moment, he obviously would not go easy on Mu Yuchen.

Gu Lingsha was still detained at the police station. Even after so long had pa.s.sed, they could not find any reason to cleanse her of the crime. It was hard to even get her out on bail because technically she had committed a crime with clear evidence. He still not understand how it ended up being Gu Lingsha and not Xi Xiaye. In fact, according to Morrison’s plan, it was not drugs but a hallucinogen, which was obviously targeted at Xi Xiaye.

That way, he could warn Mu Yuchen and give Gu Lingsha an explanation. Also, the other goal was to stop those reporters so that Xi Xiaye would believe he owed Qi Feng a favor. Alas, he could not have expected all these plans to be ruined!

Now that he recalled what happened, Xi Xiaye seemed to have acted quite calmly throughout the whole incident. She did not seem out of place at all. Could she have had a card up her sleeve?

Were Gu Lingsha’s so-called instincts right?

If that was the case, then he really had a whole new level of respect for Xi Xiaye now. However, that woman did not seem like someone that could be pushed around either.

When he thought about this, Qi Feng could not help but feel worn out…

…

It was also during this hazy autumn day when the cool breeze rustled that Qi Lei. who had been missing for quite a few days now. stood in front of w.a.n.g Qin’s tombstone for a long time with a large bouquet of flowers in his hand. Beside him, dressed in tight black clothes and a sun hat was Dongfang Liuyun.

Qi Lei bent down and slowly put the bouquet before w.a.n.g Qin’s tombstone. He looked fondly and longingly at w.a.n.g Qin in the picture but did not say anything for a long time.

It was not sure how long had pa.s.sed, and when he still did not say anything, Dongfang Liuyun calmly stated, “Your mother’s very beautiful.”

When Qi Lei heard that, he chuckled softly and sighed. “When my mother was younger, she was quite a beauty too. Otherwise, just with old man Qi’s genes alone, they could not have had a son as handsome as me.”

Even though he was speaking conceitedly, to Dongfang Liuyun, she could catch a hint of sadness and loneliness. For some reason, she could not help but feel a hint of bleakness in her. She seemed to be able to somewhat understand how he felt because perhaps she felt the same too.

“Have you heard about my mother before?” Qi Lei suddenly turned his head and lowered his gaze to look at the calm Dongfang Liuyun.

Her gaze only fell on w.a.n.g Qin’s picture as she softly replied, “When I went to my father’s, I heard him mention that she’s a tough one in business, quite similar to how my mother is, but probably not as extreme. No matter what, I believe she was a good mother.”

“She and old man Qi didn’t love each other. She never even liked him. Two people who didn’t love each other wasted so many years together. She keeps thinking about fighting while the reason was me. I never quite understood it. I thought she was just using me as an excuse for her greed. Afterward, I realized that I’ve been wrong. I was too narrow-minded and I misunderstood her feelings for me. I’m a very bad son.”

One could hear Qi Lei blaming himself, and the loneliness in his voice…

He was not someone who was easily vulnerable in front of others, but with Dongfang Liuyun, he was quite surprised that throughout the time they spent together, he found her a really good listener. You could feel her calm aura. Perhaps, it was because of the way she did not deal with things with alarm and because of her laidback personality.

Dongfang Liuyun gently bent over and arranged the messy bouquet so that it looked tidier. “I can understand. The way you’re acting is similar to those sons of rich families. You feel that they give you too little care and you crave concern from your parents. I’ve always thought that no one is born owing anyone else anything, even if they’re your parents. If you keep craving for care from other people without knowing how to care for yourself, you will always be a child that never knows how to grow up.”

When Dongfang Liuyun said this, she did not get up either. She was half-squatting and looking up at Qi Lei.

Her words stunned him and he could not help but meet with her gaze in surprise, yet Dongfang Liuyun had already silently looked away and lowered her gaze to look at the blossoming flowers before her…

Qi Lei thought she had more to say, but after a while, she did not, so he fell silent for a while before she continued, “To me, there should be no reason to stop us from trying to advance ourselves. You’re living for yourself, not them. Those factors can only affect you, but it shouldn’t influence you. After all, many years later, it isn’t you who will be by their sides and aging with them.”

“Why do you say so?” Qi Lei looked a little shocked at her.

Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes flickered a little as she calmly smiled. “No real reason. I don’t have as many realizations as you do. I just like being practical and realistic. I’ve always only wanted to live frankly, so the outside world rarely affects me. I think that when it comes to doing what’s right, just do what you want to.”

Now, Qi Lei finally understood what she was getting at. He could not help but frown as he looked at her. “Turns out that all that talk is just meant to lecture me?”

“If you want to see it like that, you can. Remember to pay me tuition fees later on.” Dongfang Liuyun swiftly stood up.

Qi Lei then shot her a look of disdain and scoffed, “I’m not your student.”

“And I’m not a lecturer of psychology either. I teach history and archaeology,” she refuted.

“I suddenly realize that you seem to have a lot of experience in many things…” Qi Lei looked at the side profile of Dongfang Liuyun’s calm expression, and could not help but be intrigued.

“It’s not a lot of experience. I’ve just heard too many stories. Don’t forget that my profession is in archaeology. In the long vein of history, many stories are stored. Every story can move you and you can learn a lot from it. This is one of the reasons why I’m pa.s.sionate about it,” Dongfang Liuyun spoke casually.

Then, she turned and suddenly looked at Qi Lei before she continued, “You’re a genuine person. Under such circ.u.mstances, while it’s good to stick to your original aspirations, you’ll only trouble yourself which might not be a good thing either.”
