Chapter 1401 Not Important Anymore 4

Qi Feng spoke lightly as he raised his head and looked at Gu Lingsha.
Startled, Gu Lingsha remained silent. She opened the file slowly and started reading it in silence.
As she continued reading, her face turned pale. She could not control her tears before she got to the end of the document. The pages were soaked in her tears, and even the text became a little blurry.
After she closed the document abruptly, she clenched it, and said incoherently, “How could this be? How could it be? How is this even possible?”
“Everything you read is true, and she already admitted to it. Shasha, I know it’s very difficult for you to accept this. It’s difficult for me too. I’ve never thought that the person who kept me in this wheelchair for six years turned out to be her…Your mother, my mother-in-law. Well, you…”
Qi Feng’s feelings were all over the place. He had to admit that up until now, he did not know how he should face Doris, but he figured that he should probably be feeling resentment more than anything. However, he did not have the chance to resent her, now that Doris had already passed away. His resentment was suddenly rendered useless and had nowhere to go.
Moreover, Gu Lingsha was still his wife after all.
If this had happened in the past, Qi Feng might not have been willing to let things go. However, his recent experiences made him realize that he may not be able to live well if he had chosen to do everything his way. A good relationship with Gu Lingsha besides resolving their differences would be the best solution just like Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye. It would save them a lot of trouble.
Gu Lingsha’s eyes were dim with sorrow. She said with tears in her eyes, “I think this was how my mother’s temperament was. I’ve never lost to anyone in my life, but because of my father…He treated her in such a way that she had probably lost all hope. Mu Yuchen and the others were also pressuring her, yet Father…She simply had nowhere else to go,” Gu Lingsha said, sobbing and sniffling while she was in a daze.
Although she finally found out what happened and realized that the change she was going through was because of Doris, she still could not bring herself to resent her mother. She just felt sorry for herself and thought that fate was unfair. Why did she need to go through so many ups and downs? Why could she not be happy like Xi Xiaye, Zhuang Shurong, and the other women?
“There’s nothing we can do now. Crying won’t make anything better. Mother made a mistake, and there’s no turning back. Father is still lying in the hospital. This incident probably took a toll on him as well. Mother’s intention of holding Mu Lingshi hostage was to die together. It was actually for a final sense of possession over Hui Gu. You should understand what it meant to her. Now, stop putting so much pressure on yourself.”
“How can I not feel the pressure? Feng, I don’t even know how to face her now. Should I hate her or resent her? She made a mistake, after all. I still can’t bring myself to tell Grandmother about this, but Grandfather must’ve already heard about it, and this isn’t a trivial matter.”
“Let’s go with the flow and not overthink. If you’re tired, go back and get some sleep. Mother’s affairs are already being processed. I think the funeral should be simple. After all, Mother wouldn’t want it to be too grand.”
“Feng, I want to bring Mother’s body back to England. This place has given her too many unpleasant memories, and she had always wanted to leave here and return to England when she was still alive. I think, over the years, it was the only place she has ever truly felt happy. You should go back with me just to wind down and take a vacation. Morrison mentioned that you can stand up on your own now. This could be a good time to take a rest over there. You haven’t really met my grandparents yet, have you?”
As Gu Lingsha went on, she smiled at Qi Feng. “Actually, Grandfather and Grandmother are very kind to me. They told me that I’m very much like Mother, so I think they do actually care about her unlike what Mother said. After all…Don’t worry. If you are worried about being away for too long, it can be a short trip.”
“Let me think about it. There are too many things that I’ll have to deal with in advance if we were to leave for a period of time,” Qi Feng said helplessly.
“It’s your call. I won’t interfere. I’m very tired, so I’ll leave Mother’s affairs up to you. I want to see Father tomorrow. Would you like to go together?” Gu Lingsha said with hope in her eyes.
After he hesitated for a moment, Qi Feng reached out to the glass of cold water on the table and took a sip. He said in a deep voice, “I’ll take you to the hospital and wait for you outside.”
Gu Lingsha seemed more at ease now and she nodded quickly. Slowly, she walked past the table and made her way towards him.
…
He almost woke up late after a night of drinking.
When Su Chen woke up, it was already past seven. He would normally wake up around six o’clock, make breakfast, and sometimes clean up the house. It did not cross his mind that he would have overslept that day as the sky was still gray, and he thought it was too early.
He washed up as quickly as possible and dressed up. Ji Zitong, who was still asleep on the bed, was stirred by his movements. She looked at him with blurry eyes and saw that he was going through the documents in the bag. She said hoarsely, “What time is it? Why are you up so early? Is it already dawn?”
“It’s already past seven. I have to go to headquarters for a meeting. You can sleep in. I didn’t have time to make breakfast, so I’ve asked Secretary He to buy you some and deliver it later. Remember to have breakfast before going to work. I’m leaving now, and I’ll be back in the evening. What would you like to eat? I’ll go get groceries after I get off work…”
It seemed that this was the peaceful life they had been living as husband and wife. They had been married for almost a year now.
Su Chen did not know how much feelings he had developed for Zitong after such a long period of time together. He was afraid that he had gotten used to her existence. From seeing her when he got off work every day to eating together and even holding her in his arms every night before going to bed, she had become part and parcel of his life.
Habit was such a terrible thing.
Maybe Ji Zitong felt the same way.
They might not necessarily have had feelings when they got married, but after such a long period of time, they had proven to each other that they were very compatible…
