After dinner, Mu Yuchen called Qi Lei upstairs while Sis w.a.n.g did the dishes.

The night was clear but there was no moon tonight. Only stars filled up the night sky. Although they seemed dim, it was peaceful and calm to look at them.

By the staircase out in the yard, Qi Lei lit up a cigarette casually. He handed his pack of cigarettes to Mu Yuchen who was leaning against the railing. Mu Yuchen nodded slightly but declined his offer.

He was not really a smoker and would just smoke one or two when he felt irritated. However, he stopped ever since Xi Xiaye got pregnant. She never liked him smoking anyway as she mentioned she was uncomfortable with the smell.

Qi Lei gave him a stare before keeping the pack back into his pocket. His gaze was not as cold as before, and he seemed much calmer right now.

He could not really imagine that such a legendary and near perfect man like Mu Yuchen would act like that at home. His imagination was very far off the mark.

The night breeze was cold, and the smoke from the cigarette was barely visible.

Qi Lei turned and looked at Mu Yuchen under the dim light. His expression was calm as he looked into a distance. He grinned a little but his eyes held a complex gaze.

Qi Lei flicked his cigarette and finally broke the silence between them. “I never would’ve imagined that this was how the great Mu Yuchen behaved at home.”

Mu Yuchen glanced back at him without saying anything.

“Are you interested to know what my impression of you is?” Qi Lei chuckled.

“Nope, you won’t think of me as a good person anyway.” Mu Yuchen gave a straightforward reply as a faint light flashed in his eyes. “Moreover, your opinion of me is worth nothing to me, so it doesn’t matter.”

Qi Lei’s expression changed. After a while, he said, “As expected of the realistic and cunning businessman! I remember Lingtian told me before that you’re a cold, cruel, and distant person. It seems like he was telling the truth. All these years, do you think that you’re innocent?”

“Innocent?” Mu Yuchen mumbled before laughing coldly, “Why would I think that I’m innocent? I’ve always admitted to what I’ve done. I don’t regret anything. If there’s a chance to rewind time, I would probably still make the same decision. You know I’d never agree sacrificing someone for the benefit of others.”

“But your selfish intent killed Lingtian and dragged both Qi Feng and Shasha into it! You’re responsible for the lives of several people. Don’t you regret it? Don’t forget that you’re Lingtian’s brother, and you’ve always been the brother he respected!” Qi Lei was getting worked up as his eyes slowly turned red.

“I’ve already told you that the car crash was just an accident. I have nothing to say if you guys insist on blaming this on me. Can you really just let someone who betrayed you in public run free?” Mu Yuchen glared at Qi Lei coldly while his tone turned sarcastic. “If you can’t do that, don’t mention this in front of me again. I know you like Gu Lingsha, but you didn’t do anything and allowed Qi Feng to do whatever he wanted. You’re a coward! Don’t you feel ridiculous judging me on whether I’m innocent or guilty?”

Qi Lei’s expression darkened after hearing his sharp words. His hand movements froze as he gave Mu Yuchen a cold stare.

“I gave them a chance and they didn’t want it. I wanted to let them be together, yet they still tried to set me up. I let them go for the sake of Lingtian.”

“Don’t speak as if you’re a saint. Can you promise that you agreed to marry Shasha without the intention to torment them? It’s all the elders’ intentions. Did you really have to do that to her?” Qi Lei could not keep calm anymore when Gu Lingsha was brought up in their conversation.

Mu Yuchen smiled. “What if I told you that Gu Lingsha said she was willing to marry me on her own accord? Would you believe me?”

“Impossible! She’s in love with Qi Feng. No one can pull them apart. I know this more than anyone else. Why do you think I didn’t fight for it then?” Qi Lei squinted at Mu Yuchen as he refuted.

“Feelings can cloud your decision. Hmph, you’re as naive as Lingtian, but well, I guess being naive is a form of happiness too…”

Mu Yuchen put on a feeble smile. He raised his hand and tossed something to Qi Lei who grabbed it. It was a hard disk, and he gave Mu Yuchen a doubtful glance.

Mu Yuchen explained in a cold tone, “These are the information we have on Gu Lingsha from the past few years. We still can’t locate Qi Feng, so stop bothering Xiaye in the future and don’t tell her about any of this. Can you promise me that?”

“If you’re innocent, why are you so worried about Xiaye knowing?” Qi Lei clenched his fists as he gave Mu Yuchen a mocking stare.

“I don’t want these past traumas to affect my current life. Furthermore, she’s bearing my child now and I don’t want her to get involved. You’d better not make a big fuss out of this. Gu Lingsha is on a world tour giving speeches at the moment, and City Z is in her schedule as well. She’ll be back here very soon. If you have any grudges, please talk to her. She knows best what happened.”

Mu Yuchen’s expression was cold, he sounded impatient as well.

Xi Xiaye was pregnant?

Qi Lei was stunned by this new information. Moments later, he looked at Mu Yuchen and said, “You… Didn’t you agree to marry Shasha because you liked her? I remember Lingtian said…”

“Liked?” Before Qi Lei could finish his sentence, Mu Yuchen interrupted him as he smiled and looked into his eyes. “I’ve no idea what that word meant in the past 30 years of my life. What do you think?”

Qi Lei saw his smile, and he felt a shiver travel down his spine. “What about now?”
