The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife Chapter 1053

1053 All“s Fair In War 1
He then went upstairs right away.
Yang Sheng looked at the empty staircase and put on a wry smile. He put the briefcase away before taking off his coat to clean up the mess before him and then continued to cook.
Qi Lei removed his necktie the moment he entered his room. He got himself a glass of water and took several sips as he sat down in his chair and switched the computer on. He stared at an avatar icon right after he logged in, but the icon was grayed out.
“Still not online yet?” Qi Lei mumbled to himself. He waited for a little longer, and as though they had some kind of connection with each other, the icon lit up after a second. Immediately, Qi Lei put his cup aside and clicked on the chatbox icon as he swiftly typed.
Eastern Gust: “My dear, you’re back!”
An angry emoji was sent right back!
Swift Snowy: “Shut up! I’m not your wife! I’ll end you if you keep spreading such rumors!”
Eastern Gust: “Don’t be so mad. Everyone in the server knows that you’re my wife. You can go far just by saying that you’re my woman. Ranking the top in the server means nothing because I’ll finish him later!”
Swift Snowy: “Please, please don’t joke around anymore. I’m a guy. I’m actually a guy! Any girl would suit you better than me!”
Eastern Gust: “It’s okay. I like you, Swift Snowy. Your gender doesn’t matter.”
Swift Snowy: “Damn…you sure have a wide sexual palette, huh? But I can’t be your wife!”
Eastern Gust: “You have to. With the two of us…hey, where are you going?”
Qi Lei gave chase when Swift Snowy ran away!
Swift Snowy was an interesting person. As he interacted with the characters in the game, Qi Lei was able to get a grasp of her personality. Straightforward and decisive, she was a low-profile, top-skilled player on their server. The server rumors said that she was the most beautiful woman!
Qi Lei was very interested in her and even sent people to investigate her in real life. He then found out that this person was actually a woman who owned an antique shop and had received a doctorate degree in archeology at a young age. She was young, and most importantly, a stunner, a really pretty one at that!
Some people in the group seemed to have cracked the password into her profile and saw her photo! Others said she returned home not too long after her graduation. Qi Lei tried to sniff her out before and discovered that she might be taking up the position as a part-time lecturer at University A in City Z. People also mentioned that she was an expert at computers and might actually be a hacker!
It was a first for Qi Lei to show so much interest towards a woman. Swift Snowy’s mysterious nature, both in-game and in real life piqued his curiosity. He would be finding out her antique shop’s address in two days, and he could not wait to meet her.
Despite inviting her out countless times, she rejected him every time, so he felt more and more defeated! He believed that his charm could bowl over this woman.
After a while of chasing, the avatar icon grayed out. She was avoiding him just as she had been recently!
Second Master Qi almost smashed his keyboard!
Yang Sheng knocked on the door and did not hear a reply. Instead, he only heard the game music from inside along with some loud clacking on the keyboard, so he then walked in.
He noticed Qi Lei sat in front of the computer with a darkened expression. He looked like he was mad at something.
Assuming that Qi Lei was still angry about what happened with Gu Lingsha just now, he said, “Master Qi, Manager Gu just panicked because of the work urgency. Maybe we can discuss with Manager Wang and see how we can sort this out, but I do think Director Xi will agree to help if you talk to her.”
Qi Lei did not reply after Yang Sheng spoke. Since he still seemed dissatisfied, Yang Sheng then continued, “We can only comply after you’ve made a promise, or else the stakeholders will kick a fuss later. Should I contact Director Xi right away?”
“I don’t care about that! Go and investigate this person for me. I want her information as soon as possible!” Qi Lei then handed a piece of paper to Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng was stunned for a moment, but he took the piece of paper and his eyes widened. “Swift Snowy? Master Qi, do you want to find out about her?”
“Yes! I want to know exactly who she is!” Qi Lei suddenly stood up.
Yang Sheng quickly nodded. “Yes, I’ll send someone to work on it right away!”
They then went downstairs for dinner. After a quick dinner, they started preparing the documents needed for tomorrow’s meeting. When Yang Sheng left, it was already 11 p.m.
Qi Lei took a quick shower, then he recalled his conversation with Gu Lingsha when he sat down on his bed. He was silent in thought for a while before dialing a number.
Xi Xiaye was making amendments to the proposal submitted by the Planning Department when she received his call. She answered it without looking at the caller ID.
“Xiaye, it’s me!” Qi Lei’s voice startled Xi Xiaye a little, and the man opposite her glanced over as well.
“Qi Lei? Why are you still up?” Xi Xiaye replied.
Qi Lei ran his fingers through his hair. “I found Gu Lingsha outside my house when I returned home just now.”
Xi Xiaye could guess what he wanted to tell her. “Did she want you to talk to me?”
“It’s not just her. Qi Qiming and the other stakeholders would’ve left this mess to me anyway. I can guess what you’re trying to do, but I won’t cooperate if I don’t get any benefits, so I’ll leave that up to you.” Qi Lei burst out in his iconic wicked laugh, making Xi Xiaye smile.
“You’re getting more and more cunning now.”
“That’s what businessmen do! When’s a good time to go and meet you?” Qi Lei got down to business.
