The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1412 - Disappointed 1

Chapter 1412 Disappointed 1

As they neared the end of the year, everyone seemed to be busier than usual.

For quite a few days in a row, the weather has been surprisingly good and was not as cold as before. It was sunny, and the warm sun stayed for an entire day while the temperature slowly increased too, so it eventually got very warm.

After an entire day of work, it was time for the sun to set again.

When Qi Lei walked out of the office, the sun was setting, and the horizon was showered with a layer of gentle golden, appearing warm and inviting.

When he walked down the stairs at the entrance of the office, a.s.sistant Yang Sheng, who followed from behind, suddenly brought up, “Master Qi, it’s the weekend, so you should rest tomorrow. How about we go out for a meal today? Consider it a celebration for exceeding the quota of today’s a.s.signment.”

Qi Lei stopped for a moment to look up at the setting sun and responded, “Nah, I don’t want to eat out. If you’re keen to come to my place, I’ll cook since I still have the ingredients I bought yesterday.”

“Master Qi, are you planning to open your own canteen?” Yang Sheng smiled and teased.

“Why not?” Qi Lei shot him a side look and responded.

Yang Sheng raised his brows, then smiled. “Well then, consider me lucky.”

“Get in the car.”

Qi Lei walked down the stairs and casually tossed his car keys to Yang Sheng who swiftly caught them.

Apart from being Qi Lei’s a.s.sistant recently, he had also been Qi Lei’s part-time chauffeur, but seeing Qi Lei in high spirits now and almost behaving like a different person, he felt genuinely happy. As tired as he might be, he thought it was worth it, and he prayed that w.a.n.g Qin would be able to see all of this from heaven. That way, she could truly rest in peace.

The company was still in preparation mode, but the earlier period had been doing well, and the projects in City B were on track. Qi Qiming did not make things difficult either and even helped them out with several projects. Qi Lei accepted his a.s.sistance without question and did not say anything.

Even though the company was still in preparation mode, the few large projects that they had been running made the company’s operations seem promising, so the senior figures that joined them felt genuinely happy. It was in these moments that they worked even harder, so the entire atmosphere at the company was great.

Qi Lei was still devilish as usual though he was different from before. When he needed to be strict, he would be stern, and he was more efficient with work too. Many people seemed to see a shadow of w.a.n.g Qin from years ago. The difference was that Qi Lei was more charming and mysterious compared to his mother. He even seemed to have surpa.s.sed her.

The days went by, and he lived quite calmly, but there was one thing that Qi Lei was at a loss on what to do. This moment was one such instance.

Yang Sheng had just parked not too far away from the door when he looked up and saw Qi Qiming standing right there. His secretary, w.a.n.g Chun, was beside him, and Secretary w.a.n.g seemed to be holding a large bag of ingredients…

Qi Lei could not remember how many times he had come by now.

Qi Qiming had been shamelessly coming over to leech on for meals. When he came over, the father and son would not mention Qi Feng or bring w.a.n.g Qin up. They would just eat and have tea.

Qi Lei basically would not speak to him, ignoring him, but Secretary w.a.n.g would be more proactive. When he saw that Qi Lei did not prepare utensils for Qi Qiming, he would prepare them for Qi Qiming by himself.

Qi Lei did not want to speak much to Qi Qiming since it was just another mouth, so no matter how tormenting it was, he did not care. He just hoped that he would quickly leave when he was done eating so that he could have some peace and quiet.

On the outside, he would not go against Qi Qiming. Because the new company was getting on track, it was not good for him to have any scandals, so he let him be.

“Second Master, you’re back! We’ve been waiting for you for quite a while. There’s fresh fish. CEO Qi went to a village to inspect the construction site and brought this back. It’s a wild breed, and there is some first-rate game that’s been cleaned too. Since it’s the holidays, let’s eat well tonight. CEO Qi didn’t have time to eat lunch today.”

When Secretary w.a.n.g saw Qi Lei walking over, he smiled flatteringly and b.u.t.tered up to him. His eyes flickered back and forth between Qi Qiming’s stiff expression and the unsmiling Qi Lei.

Yang Sheng carried a heavy briefcase and followed behind. When he saw w.a.n.g Chun, he expressed sympathy! They had it hard as a.s.sistants and secretaries!

Qi Lei walked over in huge strides, ignoring him. However, he looked at Qi Qiming with a side glance, not slowing down as he took out his key card and swiped it against the sensor before the door automatically opened.

Yang Sheng dared not follow after right away. He looked respectfully at Qi Qiming, smiled, and indicated for him to enter first.

The silent Qi Qiming watched as Qi Lei walked in. He felt relieved because he was afraid that he would hear some unwelcome news from him.

While when he thought about this, Qi Qiming could not help but laugh at himself. Who would have thought that Qi Qiming would experience such a day too!?

It was karma!

After he walked into the villa, Yang Sheng and Secretary w.a.n.g stayed in the living room knowingly. Apart from taking the ingredients to the kitchen, they dared not stay in the kitchen.

Qi Lei just swiftly took his coat off and revealed a gray s.h.i.+rt underneath. He elegantly unb.u.t.toned his sleeves, rolled them up, and walked into the kitchen. Qi Qiming sat on the sofa for a while, then turned hesitantly to look at the brightly lit kitchen. He seemed to struggle for a bit. Finally, he got up and walked to the kitchen.

He pushed the heavy gla.s.s door open to enter, and what greeted his sight was Qi Lei cutting the ingredients.

When he heard the footsteps from behind, Qi Lei paused for a moment, then continued what he was doing.

“Have the Qi family servants quit? Or couldn’t you find a single place to eat in the whole of City Z?” Qi Lei’s voice came through, sounding calm, but there was an unwelcome hostility.

Qi Qiming could not help but feel sad upon hearing that.

“It’s the weekend, so I’ve come to see you. How’re the preparations for the new company coming along? A while back, I heard that there was a barrier with the industry and commerce office. Chief Zhang from that office is my old friend. I can just talk to him…”

“Didn’t you just come the day before yesterday? When have you started to be so clingy now?” Qi Lei’s voice was mixed with thick sarcasm.

He did not think that Qi Qiming’s sudden concern was because he suddenly came to his conscience. Perhaps, he had some other plans. It was the end of year now, and the shareholders’ annual meeting was to be held after the New Year. Was he coming to get support for Qi Feng now?
