“So, you’ve become a Casanova now? I remember those cruel things you said to Shasha. Didn’t you declare that you’d never fall in love with anybody else in this life?”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Qi Feng’s cold tone and his eyes were as deep as the ocean, clouded with a darkness that no one could see.
However, Mu Yuchen was extremely calm. He glanced at him disapprovingly. “How could I possibly be a Casanova when I can’t even compare with you? If you hadn’t touched her heart, why would she have chosen you? There’s no relationship between Gu Lingsha and I. I’ve never acknowledged her as my fiancée, so you don’t have to say that to provoke me.”
“You’re a master manipulator that even Qi Lei has become a pawn in your game. I’ve underestimated you. I’m very upset, especially with you.” Qi Feng sighed as he looked at the gloomy sky before him and smiled . “Actually, the results today didn’t come as a surprise when I think about it. My life has always been rough and I’ve worked hard. Since I was little, I knew I needed to fight for what I want. I ‘m not like you who comes from a noble family. My mother was just an unknown actress. If I want to be at the top, I can only fight for it myself. I have to work hard, especially to go against someone like Wang Qin.
“At the time, I’ve always thought that the old man would pass on before Wang Qin since he was a little older than her. He was also always worried about things, and she would often take her anger out on him. When that time came, I would lose his protection and be like an ant that Wang Qin could squish to death anytime she wanted. However, she unexpectedly passed away first.”
When Qi Feng said this, Mu Yuchen turned his head slowly and glared at him, “Isn’t that what you wanted? You’ve always wished death upon Wang Qin. You’re upset because of your less privileged background. You always think about ways to prove yourself and ways to keep Qi Lei at your feet. You even feel resentful that the world is being unfair to you, don’t you?”
“You seem to be a psychic. You know everything that I’m thinking about and what I want to do.” Qi Feng did not conceal his thoughts either. He smiled generously. “I can see that you understand me quite well, and I’m honored.”
“I wouldn’t say I understand because no one knows you better than yourself. It’s not wrong to fight for what you want, but using any means to achieve your goal is wrong, including even hurting your own brother and father. So, based on just this fact alone, it shows that I really don’t understand you.” There was a chill in Mu Yuchen’s cold voice, which made Qi Feng a little uncomfortable.
“So, what do you want to do with me?”
“Wang Qin’s incident was part of your plan, wasn’t it?”
After a brief silence, they spoke at the same time. They then exchanged glances, and they could not discern each other’s emotions.
Obviously, no one answered either question, but they both knew the answer.
After a while, Mu Yuchen asked, “Have you ever considered Qi Lei your brother?”
Qi Feng smiled coldly when he heard this. He glanced at Mu Yuchen before suddenly turning around and walking away.
“Why don’t you ask Qi Lei if he sees me as his brother? We made a bet, so did he think he’s really won? I’ve always been a lone ranger and I don’t need any brothers. If I really lose someday and never have the chance to look back again, maybe I’ll think about the word ‘brother’ then.” His hoarse voice echoed in the evening breeze, and in the blink of an eye, his lonely figure disappeared around the corner in front.
Mu Yuchen kept quiet as he glanced at the empty corner. His eyes darkened and he was about to turn around, but he could hear footsteps behind him.
When Xi Xiaye walked out of the door, she happened to see Qi Feng passing by. She saw him in deep thought, so she could not help asking, “What’s wrong? What did that person tell you?”
She was carrying Mu Zirui on her back as the little guy had injured his knee and she felt bad for him.
Mu Yuchen turned around when he heard her calm voice. He looked at his wife and son who were already standing behind him. After a while, he broke into a smile. “Nothing’s wrong, alright?”
He then stretched out his hand to take Mu Zirui from Xi Xiaye’s back. “Come, let me carry you.”
Mu Zirui nodded obediently and quickly got down from Xi Xiaye’s back. When he accidentally grazed his wound on the leg, he inhaled sharply. “Dad, I can walk on my own.”
“You’re in so much pain you looked like you almost cried. Can you really walk on your own? Sometimes, it’s okay for us to spoil you,” Mu Yuchen said seriously. When he said that, he bent down slightly. Mu Zirui hesitated for a moment and then slowly lay down on Mu Yuchen’s back. Mu Yuchen picked him up easily and turned to look at his wife beside him. When he saw her following them, he proceeded to walk forward in long strides.
“Father, didn’t you say that boys can’t be spoiled by their parents? Father, when will you and Mother give birth to a baby sister? My younger brother will probably be a cool guy in the future. If we could have another sister, it’d be perfect.”
“You can dream on. Who knows for sure that it’s going to be a younger sister if I gave birth? Look at you. You even know how to be a hero and save a beauty at this tender age. Does it hurt?”
Mu Yuchen was dumbfounded. How would the little guy even knew that having a younger brother and sister would make things perfect?
“The hero saves the beauty? Are you talking about Qi Weier?” Mu Zirui asked as he looked at Mu Yuchen wide-eyed while wrapping his arms around his neck.
“Who else would it be?” Mu Yuchen replied.
“That’s impossible! Even if I want to be a hero and save the beauty, she can’t be it! Grandpa said that I’ll have a lot of choices in the future, so I don’t have to worry. Uncle Zhou, Uncle Qi, and Uncle Su Chen’s daughters can all be considered in the future.”
‘Ahem! ‘
Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye who had been silent for a long time started coughing lightly when Mu Zirui said that. The couple exchanged glances, and they broke out in a cold sweat.
Mu Zirui was still so young and he already had a goal like this. If Su Chen and Zhou Zimo knew, they would surely teach this kid a lesson!
