She whispered something into Qi Qiming’s ear. Qi Lei did not hear her clearly, nor did he move closer to her. Instead, he stood silently and watched her.
After for a while, Dongfang Liuyun straightened her back.
“The doctor said that he might not wake up. The previous incident had hit him too hard, and he might not be able to withstand it. That’s why he might have subconsciously chosen not to wake up. Even I myself find that the hope of him waking up is slim, especially now that his body is recovering day by day.”
“There are some things that once you choose to evade it, you’ll become addicted. The pressure you bear is too great, so naturally, it can drive one crazy. I think that he might…”
“He might not be as strong as you think. It’s not some pity or excuse. I just feel a little sad for him. I’ve heard from Wang Chun that he’s been suffering ever since Mother left. He’s been relying on sleeping pills to get through every night. When my mother was still alive, she also made things difficult for other women who tried to climb up the ranks, but he didn’t stop her…”
Dongfang Liuyun did not wait for Qi Lei to finish his sentence. She cut him off and stared quietly at Qi Qiming who was lying on the bed, “I’m afraid that even he himself couldn’t understand such feelings. It must have been a most painful time for him, he didn’t know how to cherish her while she was still alive. Only when she passed on did he understand his own feelings. He can’t get it back now no matter what…”
“What’s the use of that?”
Qi Lei glanced at Dongfang Liuyun and said disapprovingly, “I just don’t care about the person in front of me. The so-called expectations and hope are all things in the future. Nothing is more important than this moment.”
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and nodded. She silently looked at Qi Qiming on the hospital bed and did not say anything.
They were all so insecure. Forget about the future, what they had was the present.
“Alright, we’ve met him. It’s about time for us to go back.”
Qi Lei eased up a little. He glanced at Dongfang Liuyun and finally looked at the person lying on the hospital bed. Then, he walked out of the ward.
Dongfang Liuyun did not follow him immediately. Instead, she turned to look at him. She realized that his lonely figure had disappeared outside the door, but she could not help but feel her heart sink.
At this moment, Yang Sheng, who was waiting outside the ward, saw Qi Lei walk out. He immediately went up to him—
“Master Qi, how is it? is President Qi’s condition getting better? Doctor Liang said just now…”
Before Yang Sheng could finish, Qi Lei raised his hand to stop him. “It’s still the same. Remember to instruct the nurses on what they need to pay attention to.”
“Yes, Master Qi!”
Yang Sheng answered in a low voice and looked at Qi Lei. He wanted to say something, but Qi Lei had already walked over indifferently towards the long corridor in front of him. However, he did not see Dongfang Liuyun follow him out.
Yang Sheng was stunned for a while. He looked at Qi Lei’s receding figure. After a while, he retreated and carefully pushed open the half-closed door. Only then did he see Dongfang Liuyun walking towards the door at a leisurely pace.
“Missus!”
Yang Sheng took the initiative to go up and called out softly.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded and turned her body to look at the corridor ahead. She did not see Qi lei, so she frowned and asked, “Where’s your Master?”
“Master has probably gone straight to the car. Missus, you should go too. Master Qi looks like…”
Yang Sheng said in a low voice. His eyes were filled with worry.
“I got it. I’ll go and take a look.”
Dongfang Liuyun left this sentence and followed after him.
In the hospital parking lot, Qi Lei stood silently by the car. He looked up slightly at the tall hospital building opposite him. His gaze was quite calm.
When Dongfang Liuyun walked over, he quietly averted his gaze. He turned his gaze to look at her and reached out to open the car door. “We’ve seen him, let’s go back now.”
Dongfang Liuyun nodded and quickly sat inside.
‘Bam!’
The car door closed and Qi Lei started the car.
“Let me bring you back to the old mansion for a walk.”
As the car drove out of the parking lot, Qi Lei suddenly said this.
Dongfang Liuyun fell silent and did not say anything.
“The information on your left is the background information of the Qi family after they have roughly cleaned up all these years. In the early years, the Qi family was also quite complicated. My grandfather actually had a younger brother, but he died later on. My grandfather was very decisive in handling matters. He was very successful in the underworld. Back then, in order to avenge his dead younger brother, he also… Grandfather watched my mother grow up. It wasn’t a matter of a day or two that he wanted my mother to marry old man Qi. Of course, he has good taste. It’s just that old man Qi himself didn’t know how to cherish it.”
Qi Lei said simply as he steadied the car.
Dongfang Liuyun had already taken the document from the side and was silently flipping through it.
It did give a general introduction of the Qi family’s situation. Of course, there was also some information about Qi Feng and Wang Qin’s background.
Dongfang Liuyun only had to go through it once before she understood the general situation. She could not help but turn her head to look at Dongfang Liuyun. Naturally, Dongfang Liuyun was focused on driving.
“I can see that your childhood may not have been very good, living in such a family. I am a little luckier than you. At least in terms of my parents’ feelings and family, the influence they brought to me was positive. It’s just that since I was young, I knew what I had to face. I always had to be outstanding in every aspect, which is why I felt worn out and stressed.”
“But you still maintained a good state of mind. I remember Father saying that life is like a pressure cooker, I was really afraid that I was going to cook myself.”
Qi Lei recalled some of Dongfang Gan’s words.
Dongfang Liuyun chuckled, “I’m talking about you. I’ve always been in a good state of mind. My Father has never been too worried about me. On the other hand, Ms. Song often feels too stressed, making it hard for her to catch her breath. Last year, she had to rest at home for a long time because her stomach wasn’t feeling well.”
Dongfang Liuyun explained silently.
“Mother’s health doesn’t seem to be very good. It’s best if we find an opportunity to take her for a comprehensive physical examination. How about this? I’ll get Yang Sheng to make an appointment. You can go with Mother next weekend.”
Qi Lei recalled song siting’s condition from before. It did not seem to be very good.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun fell silent. She did not reply and instead turned to look out of the car window.
“What’s wrong?”
Sensing her silence, Qi Lei spoke softly.
“I can’t persuade her. I advise you not to worry about this. She’s not the kind of person who would appreciate our kind intentions.”
