Qi Lei suddenly put down the glass in his hand and took a cigarette packet from the side. He took one out and lit it before handing the cigarette packet to Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen glanced at him, then took it as well. He took one out and lit it too.
“Don’t worry about it. They’re all doing pretty well. I finally understand what you said to me before. I’ve been lonely for so many years, now that I suddenly have someone to accompany me, always appearing in my world and occupying my thoughts, this doesn’t feel too bad.”
Qi Lei puffed out his cigarette and said plainly.
Mu Yuchen could see something in his deep eyes. Then, he chuckled. “I never thought that you, Qi Lei, would say something like this one day.”
“I’m not a saint either, aren’t you the same? Since you’re here today, I just happen to have a question to ask you. You’ve heard of the Fujiwara family in Japan, right?”
Qi Lei flicked the cigarette ash between his fingers and asked casually.
“Fujiwara family clan?”
Mu Yuchen’s hand paused for a moment. He frowned and looked at Qi Lei. “You mean the Fujiwara family?”
Qi Lei nodded. “The one with some background.”
Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened. He thought about it for a moment and then said, “Did you offend them? Their background isn’t simple. You’d better not have too much contact with them.”
Qi Lei listened and lowered his eyes calmly. His eyes were indifferent, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking about.
“Why are you suddenly asking about them?”
Mu Yuchen asked when he saw that he did not speak.
This time, Qi Lei suddenly put out the cigarette between his fingers in the ashtray beside him. Then, he picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp before pouring another glass.
“It’s nothing. I’m just asking around. I think we’ll have some dealings in the future.”
Qi Lei replied calmly.
When he heard this, Mu Yuchen’s brows furrowed even more tightly as he stared at Qi Lei—
“Since you know that their background isn’t simple, I advise you not to provoke them. If It’s business, why don’t you tell me? Maybe I can help out a little. You’re not someone who doesn’t know how to be on guard. We have to be more careful when coming in contact with complicated big family clans like these, like your wife, Dongfang Liuyun’s Dongfang family clan too. All dealings should be done by keeping a close eye on them and planning well.”
Mu Yuchen had always been a conservative person. He was cautious in his actions. Usually, if he was not confident, he would not act rashly.
“I know, I know what to do.”
Qi Lei was a little worried. When that time came, he would not be able to help himself.
“As long as you know what to do. I went to the hospital yesterday and went to see your father. His condition seems to be the same. Do you want to get him checked overseas?”
“No need. Those who don’t want to wake up can’t be woken up no matter what. If he wants to sleep, then let him. I know you’re a wine collector. Coincidentally, a friend brought me a batch of good-tasting whiskey from France a while ago. I’ve already gotten Yang Sheng to send it to your car. In a few days, when the weather cools down a little, I’ll go over to your house for a barbecue. How’s Wei’er?”
Qi Lei did not forget Qi Wei’er of course.
“She’s fine. Xiaye’s taking good care of her. She’s about the same as those other children now, don’t worry.”
“I’m really sorry to trouble you. If it’s possible, I’d like to bring her back. After all…”
Qi Lei thought about it again and again. He felt that Qi Wei’er might be more suitable being with him.
“I can still afford to raise this niece. She’s very good with Xiao Rui and Xiao Cheng. Xiaye treats her like her own daughter.”
“I’m very grateful to the both of you, but she’s still a member of the Qi family.”
“Who said that we’re just the Qi family and the Mu Family? If you have a daughter with Dongfang Liuyun, I’ll definitely leave one of my two sons for your daughter.”
Mu Yuchen’s lips curled into a smile as he spoke meaningfully.
When Qi Lei heard this, his eyes lit up. He thought about it and then said, “Wouldn’t that be letting your son off too easily?”
“It’s fine if it’s the other way around. There’s nothing wrong with cementing our close ties even more.”
“How’s Xiaye’s health?”
Qi Lei knew about Xi Xiaye’s condition from Mu Yuchen.
“She insisted. Up until now, I still don’t know how her health is. I’m going along with her.”
Mu Yuchen’s helpless tone contained a hint of gentleness.
“I wish that your wish can be realized soon and you can have a daughter then.”
Qi Lei smiled and raised his glass to toast Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen smiled and nodded. He put out the cigarette between his fingers and raised his glass as well. The two of them clinked glasses and then finished the glass of wine in one gulp…
…
“Aunty, the snacks in this coffee shop are pretty good, especially this matcha pastry. You can try it.”
“Really? I’ll try it then.”
“Okay, this is not bad too. If Aunty likes it, I’ll ask them to pack one for you and bring it back later.”
“I’ll try it. Mmm, the taste is not bad. The texture is very good.”
“This red bean cake is not bad too. Aunty, why don’t you try it too?”
“Okay, Zimo, you’re too polite.”
“No, I just feel that we hit it off quite well. I should have gotten Qin Su to introduce us before. It’s such a pity that I didn’t visit you and Uncle.”
“It doesn’t matter. You can come to our home next week during the Yang Festival. Qin Su will be on vacation, and your uncle will be home too. I’ll make you some delicious food. What do you like to eat?”
In the elegant and high-end cafe, Qin Su leaned against the back of her chair and looked at Mei Xiaoyue and Zhou Zimo, who were discussing fervently on the side. There was no expression on her cold face.
It had been more than half the afternoon.
The three of them had finished their lunch and went shopping. They had gone through several high-end long streets, and now they were here for afternoon tea. Of course, it was all Zhou Zimo’s suggestion. This mother, Mei Xiaoyue, was naturally on good terms with him, she did not care about Qin Su’s opinion at all.
Along the way, Zhou Zimo was talking to Mei Xiaoyue, while Qin Su did not say anything. She seemed to have become a bodyguard. However, Zhou Zimo did not ignore her. When he was talking to Mei Xiaoyue, his eyes subconsciously caught her figure, just like now.
When he recommended snacks to Mei Xiaoyue, he naturally put two pieces on the plate in front of Qin Su. “Try it?”
Qin Su glanced at him and narrowed her eyes at the food on the plate. “I don’t like desserts.”
“Don’t you eat some of the desserts at home? It’s quite delicious. Since Zimo put it on your plate, you should try it.”
As soon as Qin Su said that, Mei Xiaoyue immediately exposed her. Qin Su immediately frowned and looked at Mei Xiaoyue—
