The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife Chapter 1717 - Sore Point (1)

Chapter 1717: Sore Point (1)

When they went back, it was already quite late. It was almost midnight.
The husband and wife did not speak. It was Qi Lei who drove.
The road at midnight was very quiet. Lanterns hung on the trees by the road leading to the Grand Lake Villa district. They lit up and formed a row. The cool midnight breeze blew lightly, and the lanterns swayed. It was quite beautiful.
The clouds and mist in the sky had disappeared at some point, revealing a full moon. The moonlight was brilliant, illuminating the ground with a layer of pure and holy light. The night seemed particularly cold.
The moon is perfectly round on the day after mid-autumn day…
When the couple got down the car, they subconsciously raised their heads to look at the distant sky above them. They watched it silently for a long time. When they retracted their gazes, they looked at each other and smiled.
“Do you remember Su Shi’s poem, Water Melody?” She suddenly asked softly.
Qi Lei thought for a moment and said uncertainly, “I do remember the content of the poem. It’s a model poem from middle school. The start of it is something about the autumn of Bing Chen year, remembering Zi You? Zi You is Su Zhe, right?”
“Yes, the mood of this poem is very good and it fits the situation very well. The students at the moment also had a deep impression of this poem. Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that it suits us now. But it’s us, not you, and not just me.”
As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Qi Lei. A faint smile suddenly appeared on her elegant face. “I remember the first time we met…”
Her faint voice drifted in the desolate night breeze. Qi Lei waited for a long time, but he did not hear what she said next. He only heard her take a deep breath—
“The fate between us is not shallow, but I’m also a little glad that you took the first step. A lot of times, fate is like that. If you hadn’t been curious about who ‘Swift Snowy’ was and didn’t want to find out, you and I might have been on different sides now.”
“Therefore, the heavens still favor us. Forget about those unhappy things. We’ve got to look forward, not backwards. Over the years, I have hurt many people. Many others have hurt me. Many others have chosen to forgive me. I have also chosen to forgive many people. We cannot really judge the so-called right and wrong, so we can only start from the bottom line in our hearts.”
“I don’t know all the things that have happened between you and your father, but I have heard about your experience, so I can more or less understand it. I won’t ask you to forgive him and embrace him, but I just want to say that you’re his son. This is an objective fact, and it’s your duty as a son to do your best. This isn’t a question of whether it’s worth it or not. It’s a very traditional middle-of-the-road mentality.”
“Just like the conflict between me and Ms. Song. Although I don’t agree with her on many points of view, and I’m very unhappy with her way of doing things, I still have to respect her. In order to avoid too much friction with her, I’d rather go home less.”
“Be a good son. There are many things you can do that will make you feel better than not doing it. Don’t give yourself the chance to regret it, like with your mother.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not continue after that.
Qi Lei’s expression was a little uncertain.
After a while, Dongfang Liuyun reached out to pull him. “Alright, don’t think too much. If you don’t like hearing these, just pretend I didn’t say anything. I don’t have the right to make you change your mind…”
Before Dongfang Liuyun could finish, Qi Lei cut her off. “It’s not just that. He doesn’t want to wake up. Even if I wanted to… There’s nothing I can do.”
After saying this, Qi Lei walked ahead.
Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment. She watched as his figure disappeared through the dim street lights and into the door in front of him. It took her a while to come back to her senses. After some thought, she finally took a deep breath and followed him in.
The house was quiet. Mama Wang and the others had already gone to bed.
Qi Lei went straight upstairs while Dongfang Liuyun washed her hands. She realized that Mama Wang’s chicken soup was still warm in the kitchen, so she finished two bowls of it herself. Then, she got another bowl for Qi Lei before going upstairs at a leisurely pace.
When she returned upstairs, Qi Lei was showering. When he came out of the bathroom with a towel to wipe his half-dry hair, it was already nearly 10 minutes later.
He saw Dongfang Liuyun sitting on the sofa watching television, so he sat down as well.
“The chicken soup tastes good. It’s still warm. Drink some,” said Dongfang Liuyun.
Qi Lei stopped what he was doing and looked over as well. However, his gaze soon stopped on her. He was silent for a long time before he asked in a low voice, “After I’m done, I’ll bring you to the hospital to see him. He’s not quite conscious. The doctor said that all the functions of his body have been restored. The reason why he hasn’t regained consciousness is probably because he subconsciously doesn’t want to wake up.”
“I’ve asked some experts to diagnose him. Everyone’s conclusion is almost the same. This makes me feel… you know, he has never liked or even hated me as his son. Qi Feng’s death is directly related to me. I think that he might not be willing to face me when he’s awake. The way that he is now isn’t too bad.”
…
Dongfang Liuyun was silent for a long time when she heard this. She did not say anything. She just took the soup that was still warm on the table with one hand and the towel in his hand with the other, she began to help him dry himself.
Qi Lei also took it. He lowered his head and drank two mouthfuls silently.
“It’s not what you think, I believe. I think he would be very happy to see you today.”
Dongfang Liuyun thought for a long time before she said this—
Although she had never known how to comfort others, now…
“Do you have that much confidence in him?”
Qi Lei turned to look at her silently.
Dongfang Liuyun shook her head and said happily, “It’s not that I have confidence in him. It’s that I have confidence in you. I think that anyone who isn’t too stupid can see that you’re actually a very good person. Moreover, that person is your father. If he didn’t have any expectations for you, he wouldn’t have done his best to support you in starting up Tai Yu Corporation. Also, if he really wanted to hand Qi Kai over to Qi Feng, why was Qi Feng only a small Director when he died? And you’re the mighty Vice President of Qi Kai?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s words left Qi Lei speechless. To be honest, he could not see through Qi Qiming’s motive back then.
Until now, he could not answer Dongfang Liuyun’s question.
Qi Qiming was probably the only one who knew these answers. No one else could see through him…
