When he heard this, Su Chen could not help but ma.s.sage the s.p.a.ce between his brows, “That’s true. Qi Qiming is too unpredictable. No one can guess what he’s trying to do.”

Then, he sat up and took a cigarette box from the table. He pulled one out and handed it to Mu Yuchen while he lit one up for himself too. With his eyebrows knotted, he puffed before he continued to sigh, “Actually, I think that Qi Lei isn’t as simple as he seems. What do you think?”

Su Chen looked up at Mu Yuchen’s indifferent expression, an oddly cold light flickering in his eyes.

Mu Yuchen set the cigarette in his hand aside, and then casually stood up before he walked over to the alcohol cabinet and poured them two gla.s.ses of whiskey.

“He’s just watching from the sides while they fight among themselves. Everything is the work of Qi Qiming and w.a.n.g Qin. Despite Qi Feng retreating behind the scenes and let Qi Qiming control the entire chess game, say if he wanted to take over Qi Kai, he’d have to make a move. Otherwise, how could he convince the ma.s.ses? Qi Lei’s different. If Qi Lei wanted to take over Qi Kai, others would just find it rightful, but when it comes to Qi Feng…”

“Mmm, I agree. No matter what Qi Feng does, as long as Qi Lei’s around, he’s still just an illegitimate child, so if he wants to take over Qi Kai, he’d have to put in more work because w.a.n.g Qin would never support him and would just give up on her son! Sigh, I’m just sad that I don’t have a mother to fight for me!” Su Chen shrugged helplessly as he accepted the drink Mu Yuchen handed, and gulped it all down.

…

Mu Yuchen and Su Chen prepared lunch. When it was almost served, Mu Yuchen went upstairs unhurriedly.

At the bedroom door, before he walked in, he could vaguely hear coughing from inside, so he quickly pushed the door open and saw that she was walking out from the bathroom with her messy and soft hair. She looked extremely pale and frail from the illness while her spirits were low.

She walked to the bedside and sat down limply, not having an ounce of energy to move.

She had really suffered. Her fever only broke in the morning, and now her throat hurt really badly. She also had a bad headache, and could not breathe properly. This cold was really torturing.

“Have some water and take your medicine.”

A low tone of concern suddenly brushed past her ears. She opened her dazed eyes and saw that a cup of water was extended to her. When she shifted her gaze up a little, she saw the pills that lay in his broad hand.

She was defeated as she looked up weakly at him. When she saw the love and concern in his eyes, she could not help but speak in her weak, raspy voice, “I feel miserable. Cough… My throat hurts so much and my whole body aches. I feel so weak. Cough…”

Her voice sounded extremely hoa.r.s.e. Before she could finish her sentences, she could not help but start coughing again.

“I told you to work out and toughen up more, but you were lazy. Rest well for the next few days. I’ll let Grandpa know. Come have your medicine first.” He handed her the medication.

She then took it from him, frowned and swallowed the pills.

He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. Then, he reached out with his long fingers and swiftly arranged her slightly messy hair for her. “Su Chen’s here. He brought some game meat, but I don’t think you’ll be able to taste them. I’ve prepared some plain porridge for you. Do you feel very sick? I’ll bring you to the hospital for a check-up after the meal.”

“Oh, I don’t want to go to the hospital… I’ll just sleep again and I’ll feel better when I wake up,” she responded in her raspy voice. Then, she drank a few more gulps of water before she put the cup back. She whined helplessly in distress, “I feel so miserable… This illness felt like it came so suddenly…”

He sighed helplessly and set the cup on the table. Gazing down at her, after a while, he reached out to touch her forehead again and only eased back a little when everything felt alright again. “Okay, later on, I’ll give you a back ma.s.sage. Perhaps you’ll feel more relaxed. Go downstairs and have some food first.”

When she heard, she suddenly stared at him in shock. “Do you know how to?”

He just looked back at her casually. “Mmm, when we were in the army back then, we had a lot of training. Sometimes, Su Chen, Zhou Zimo, and I would take turns with each other. It feels quite good.”

She then nodded and propped herself limply as she tried to get up in a daze.

He reached out to hold her by the waist. “Be careful.”

Then, he was about to bend over and carry her up when she stopped him with one hand clutching onto the side of clothes. “I’ll just walk. I’m not that weak…”

When the two of them went downstairs, Su Chen had already prepared the cutlery. Seeing Xi Xiaye’s sickly condition, he immediately frowned and asked in concern, “Are you okay? You don’t look that great.”

Xi Xiaye nodded gratefully and smiled wryly. “I’m fine. It’s just a little cold and fever. I’ll feel better in a few days.”

“If you really can’t, it’s better to get checked at the hospital.”

Xi Xiaye nodded. When she remembered her man telling her about Su Chen’s stories, she could not help but take a second glimpse at him. She felt that apart from his imposing and sharp manner, seeing him help to serve the dishes really made him look like a kind, domestic man.

She silently looked at Su Chen be busy for a while before she turned. Her twinkling eyes looked up to the man beside her while he looked back thoughtfully at her. With one hand holding her frail shoulders, he said in a low voice by her ear, “He’s only slightly inferior to your man.”

Xi Xiaye could not help but laugh gently. “Are you praising him or yourself?”

“I’m just telling the truth.” He suddenly smiled and walked over with his arms around her shoulder, pulling a chair out chivalrously.

“I’d be a fool to believe you!” Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him.

As she was about to sit down, Su Chen’s voice was suddenly heard. “Oh, right, Xiaye, someone sent a registered letter over earlier. It was yours, but I signed the acknowledgment receipt for you. I put it on the coffee table.”

A registered letter?

Xi Xiaye was momentarily stunned. She thought about it for a while before walking to the living room. Indeed, there was a letter on the coffee table.

She was puzzled and hesitated for a moment before picking the letter up to open.

There was nothing written on the letter except just a simple sentence:

Meet at the old place in three days at 4 p.m.

It was someone with whom Xi Xiaye was very familiar — Detective Zhang who had disappeared for a long time without any news of him at all!

Previously, Xi Xiaye had asked him to also investigate the Qi family. Unexpectedly, she did not hear from him for a rather long time after that. Now that she finally received this letter, it more or less took her by shock.
