“Master Qi!” Yang Sheng chased him from behind and called out anxiously.
“It’s fine. You can head back for now. Hand the docunts tomorrow.” Qi Lei left with his last ssage before disappearing into the crowd. Yang Sheng wanted to catch up, but the butler stared at him coldly, so he stopped imdiately.
Yang Sheng stood there for a while after Qi Lei left. His strained expression relaxed down after he thought about it and tried his best to calm down. Then, he took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.
Mu Yuchen was on his way to the Imperial Sky Entertainnt City when he received the phone call while Xi Xiaye was sitting in the front passenger seat.
There was so traffic on the way, so his eyes were focused on the front as he reached into his pocket for his phone. He handed it to Xi Xiaye and she gladly answered the call.
“Hello?”
Yang Sheng was familiar with her gentle voice.
“Director Xi? It’s you! Chairman Mu...”
“Assistant Yang? Are you guys back in City Z?” Xi Xiaye realized it was Yang Sheng’s voice.
“We just landed, but Master Qi was taken away by force before he could even exit the airport. Is that bad news?” Yang Sheng sounded worried.
“Qi Lei was forced to go back ho?” Xi Xiaye captured the key information and was startled as she frowned. “Give a second. Talk to Chairman Mu.”
Xi Xiaye then handed the phone back to Mu Yuchen. “It’s Qi Lei’s assistant, Yang Sheng. Talk to him.”
Mu Yuchen turned over and looked at her. Then, he parked the car on the roadside before taking the phone.
“It’s .”
“Chairman Mu...” Yang Sheng quickly told Mu Yuchen what happened.
Mu Yuchen listened quietly and soon answered, “Okay, I understand. You should head back ho for now.” He hung up on the call after that.
“What’s wrong?” Xi Xiaye asked when she noticed him frowning.
Mu Yuchen put his phone away and started the car engine again.
“Qi Qiming forced Qi Lei to go ho. It should be for Qi Feng’s sake. Qi Lei is pretty stubborn when going up against Qi Qiming. His tenacity could be both good and bad, but he’ll be at a disadvantage,” he comnted.
Xi Xiaye lowered her head and gave it so thought. She then nodded in agreent. “That’s just how he is. I rember when I first got to know him, I thought of him as a skirt-chaser, but later on, I realized he’s actually a nice person after getting to know him better. He always puts on a defensive barrier around himself, and I do pity him at tis since I see my past self in him.”
“Are you worried about him?” He turned around and looked at her pointedly. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get jealous?”
Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows. “How I wish you would! I know you won’t anyway. I’ll have you bear in mind that my marketability is still high.”
“Your marketability has always been high. Didn’t so guys try to get close to you at the few parties we attended recently?” His tone sounded different than usual as he narrowed his eyes and glanced at her.
She chuckled. “Ah-ha! You’ve been watching all along!”
“Of course!” Mu Yuchen looked at her and admitted without shying away.
“I guess I’m just that charming then. We’re arriving at Imperial Sky soon. Leave in front and you can go off. I suppose they’ve been waiting for a long ti. I’ll leave Qi Lei to you then.”
Xi Xiaye just pushed all the responsibility to him since it was a very common habit of hers to leave her troubles to Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen squinted his eyes at her and whined in an unhappy tone although he had no intention of scolding her at all, “You’re the sa as Qi Lei now, aren’t you, always relying on ? Can you be more independent?”
“Don’t you want to?” She grinned at him slyly.
He just smiled quietly as he drove towards the entrance of Imperial Sky Entertainnt City and stopped.
“Get your gloves and phone,” Xi Xiaye handed him his coat as she reminded him, “I’ll be back to fetch you later. Be mindful of how much you drink.”
Mu Yuchen took his jacket and nodded. He left a kiss on her forehead before getting out of the car. “Don’t be too late, and call if there’s anything.”
“Okay, Uncle Lan has been waiting. I’ll be going now!”
“Okay.” He finally got out of the car.
Xi Xiaye sat in the driver’s seat and started driving.
At the sa ti, at the Qi residence, Qi Qiming was sitting on the sofa in the living room with Qi Feng there as well. Only two of them were in the living room at the mont since Gu Lingsha and the servants were busy cooking in the kitchen.
“Qi Lei has been staying in Qi Kai all these years. He’s still his sa old self, but his hatred towards has grown stronger ever since his mother’s death.”
Qi Qiming looked at Qi Feng warmly although his tone sounded helpless. “I let him take over your mother’s position since her death because I hope he could pull himself together. I also wanted to keep those folks from the Wang Corporation in check.
“He never tried to understand at all. He’s as stubborn as your mother. A few days ago, he ca here and took away everything that belonged to your mother, announcing that he has nothing to do with this family anymore. He’s just the worst!”
Qi Qiming rarely told people what he thought, but he was really bothered that Qi Lei was still nowhere to be seen.
“Give the butler a call and see how it’s going.”
