When Dongfang Liuyun finished speaking, a hint of surprise appeared in Qi Lei’s eyes. He said—

“What about me? I didn’t know that you had a father complex too?”

Dongfang Liuyun nodded without denying it, “Father is actually very protective of me. He’s probably the person who cares about me the most in this world, so I naturally care about him too. “You might not know much about the Dongfang family up until now. Father is the son of Grandfather and Grandmother, but he hasn’t received much care since he was young.”

Dongfang Liuyun rarely talked about Dongfang Gan’s matters. When she talked about it now, his eyes were filled with emotion—

“Father was born abroad. After that, Grandmother and Grandfather returned to China to manage the family business, and Father was left abroad. You know about the company, once things get busy they get busy. Father only saw them a few times a year, so he had a lonely childhood. When he grew up and studied abroad, he didn’t necessarily become cheerful. He didn’t have many friends, but he was very smart. Grandfather said that Father was most like him.”

Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes were a little dazed. Qi Lei very considerately handed her a gla.s.s of water. She silently took it and lowered her head to take a sip, “Grandfather only let him return to City Z when he grew up and became successful in his studies. I don’t know how Father spent those years either. When it comes to loneliness, his experience is more profound. He told me that no matter how unfortunate an experience is, it can’t be an excuse for you to stop moving forward.”

“Yes, humans are always making unreasonable requests and rarely thinking about what they would given up.”

Qi Lei’s lips curled into a helpless smile as he went along with her words. “You think it’s only right and proper, that’s why with Mother you’re always so…”

“I guess you guessed it. That’s right. I haven’t done anything for her. Although I’m a little annoyed by her actions, she’s still my mother. Besides, I’ve always felt that we’re on the same side after all. We can’t easily erase the same thing in our bones. The reason why I’m indifferent is because the feelings hidden deep in my heart haven’t been awakened. I won’t use pessimistic eyes to see the world, that would make us feel better.”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled calmly and glanced at Qi Lei.

Qi Lei paused for a moment and suddenly looked up at her. After thinking for a moment, he said—

“Did w.a.n.g Chun and Yang Sheng say something to you?”

Dongfang Liuyun lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before speaking, “The hospital said that Father’s bodily functions have stabilized. The results of the examination over the past few days showed that his brain waves have slowly returned to normal. If nothing unexpected happens, he will wake up soon… have you thought about how to face him?”

This matter…

The moment Dongfang Liuyun’s voice fell, Qi Lei’s movements froze. He lowered his eyes and did not say anything for a long time. Finally, he stood up quietly.

“It’s late. Rest early.”

With that, his tall figure moved toward the door.

Dongfang Liuyun could only watch as his figure disappeared outside the door.

Then…

Two days later, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye went overseas. Of course, this time, it was just the two of them. Mu Xiaocheng and the others were left in City Z with Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan taking care of them.

Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi also returned to City B.

They went to a reunion filled with sorrow. When they returned to City B, Mu Lingshi fell ill. In just 10 days, she lost a lot of weight. Zhuang Shurong was extremely worried. She wanted to go over to take a look, but when she was about to leave, she caught a cold because of the sudden drop in weather, so Mu Tangchuan was naturally worried about her going over.

Qi Lei happened to be rushing over to City B to inspect the progress of the project. When he found out that Mu Lingshi was in the hospital, he also came over to take a look.

Mu Lingshi did not have much contact with Qi Lei. Most of her memories were from when Mu Lingtian was still around. Second Master Qi was just a friend of Mu Lingtian. However, she now knew that Qi Lei and her big brother, Mu Yuchen, her sister-in-law, Xi Xiaye, were pretty good friends. Even Su Chen and Zhou Zimo had a very close relationship with him.

Naturally, she was very surprised that he came to visit her.

On the hospital bed, Mu Lingshi propped herself up and sat up. She looked at Qi Lei who was standing by the bed and quickly said, “Sit down, Second Master Qi…”

Qi Lei placed the flower in his hand on the table beside him. His handsome face was very calm, “Just call me Qi Lei. I can see that you’re very surprised by my arrival. Actually, Ah Mo and I are very good friends. There’s no need to be so polite between us.”

As he said this, Qi Lei pulled a chair to sit down.

“Sorry, I’m a little surprised. After all, this is City B.”

Mu Lingshi had lost a lot of weight. Her chin was sharp and her face was pale. She was in a very bad state.

Qi Lei did not have to doubt that Mu Yinan’s departure was a huge blow to her.

“I just happened to come here to inspect the progress of the project. I saw that Ah Mo was not in a good condition, so I asked him. I knew about you, so I came to take a look.”

Qi Lei poured her a cup of warm water and handed it to her. Mu Lingshi accepted it obediently.

“Thank you. It’s nothing much. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days. I really…”

“Ah Chen and I are considered brothers, so you don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. No matter what, it’s only right for me to come over and take a look. Mu Yuchen told me about you before. That day at Grandfather Mu’s tombstone, he even mentioned you by chance. He’s very worried about you too.”

Qi Lei’s calm voice rang out as he quietly watched Mu Lingshi.

“I was too disappointing. I’m let Big Brother down, but I’m really sad. I want to cheer up too, but I…”

As Mu Lingshi said this, she felt a bitter taste rise in her throat again, and her eyes started to heat up again.

“Alright, don’t think too much. You didn’t expect these things either. Just take it as Grandfather Mu and Grandmother Mu just reuniting over there. You should feel happy for their reunion after such a long time. Sometimes, it’s not a bad thing to leave. Grandfather Mu said that he’s very content with his life, so why are you so sad?”

“Perhaps this is fate. I can’t help but think that I’ll never see them again…”

Mu Lingshi sniffled and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

“Life and death are determined by fate. Those who are alive should live a happier life. This is the best consolation for the deceased. Your son is very cute, and Uncle Gu is also a little haggard.”
