Chapter 917: Concerned For Him (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After walking through the chilly rain, he thought it would be fine after taking a hot shower and drinking some ginger tea, but he started feeling uncomfortable late at night. By the morning, his head felt heavy and Mu Yuchen’s voice was hoarse when Qi Lei met him.

“Are you sure you’re alright? You better go to the hospital!” Qi Lei noticed Mu Yuchen’s face was pale and he looked exhausted.

Mu Yuchen leaned back against the sofa as he raised his hand and stopped Qi Lei, sounding really weak. “There’s no need. I’ll be heading back after we’re done here. It’s just a little cold. I’m okay.”

He picked up the document on the table and flipped through it as he spoke, “We’ve gone through most of the details with CEO Li last night, so I’ll leave this to you to discuss with him. CEO Li is a passionate man, and he’s very interested in the show business industry. Vice President Liu is handling this section of Glory World at the moment, so you can approach him if you need anything. I’ll inform him.”

Qi Lei grabbed Mu Yuchen a glass of warm water. “Mmm, I’m fine with everything. I’ll be staying here for another two days. I’ve told Yang Sheng to let me handle the recruitment, hence the suitable arrangements will be made.”

Nodding, Mu Yuchen asked as he flipped through the documents again without even looking at Qi Lei, “Do you need me to do something about Qi Feng?”

With a pause, he glanced at Qi Lei and noticed his expression darken as his mind replayed the scenes of him acting absurdly last night. His quiet eyes dimmed.

Qi Lei knew what Mu Yuchen was thinking about, so he then said, “You better forget about what happened last night. I’ll kill you if any news that tampers with my reputation gets out! We had fun at CEO Li’s place until late at night, and then we went back to our hotel room. Nothing else happened.”

He somehow remembered what he did last night when he woke up this morning, and he deeply regretted what he had done. Even he had no idea that his drunken self was capable of such a feat.

Ever since Wang Qin’s death, apart from the first few days, he did not touch any alcohol because he was unwilling to reveal his true emotions before others, so he just put on a casual, carefree front.

The only family he had was gone. Who else should he be showing his vulnerable side to?

Mu Yuchen glanced at Qi Lei before continued reading the document again. “I don’t remember what happened last night. Anyway, there will be a huge war waiting for you in City Z. Will you be alright?”

“Can you do anything if I’m not? I suppose Qi Feng’s hatred towards you is much worse than it is towards me. Don’t let what happened the last time repeat again. I understand Qi Feng too well. He hides his blade in between his gentle smiles. He’s a tough opponent. Moreover, this part of him is really excellent!” Qi Lei pointed at his head.

Mu Yuchen smiled. “There are things that we just can’t avoid, and he assumes that I owe him. Didn’t you think so too a while ago? With Lingtian’s death, Gu Lingsha, and Qi Feng’s misfortune, aren’t I the worst?” Without looking at Qi Lei, he sounded relaxed, but his eyes reading through the document darkened.

Qi Lei was stunned for a moment. He tapped into his memories before putting on a bitter smile. “Yes, I do admit that I hated you because Shasha was still pretty important to me.”

“Hmm?’

Qi Lei hardly mentioned Gu Lingsha in front of Mu Yuchen, but he did know she was an important person to him. Back then, Qi Lei’s relationship with Wang Qin worsened because of her as well, but it felt like Qi Lei had not really been affected by Gu Lingsha lately.

As he drank some water, Qi Lei’s eyes seemed to be gazing in the distance. He scratched his head a little and sighed. “I guess I was too young. It’s all in the past. I was too naive. I didn’t care if she was good or bad since I was head over heels for her. It’s like a student finding his teacher attractive, but knowing there’s no future between them, only pleasant memories are left. I’m sure you’d understand,” he explained.

Mu Yuchen shook his head as he put on a genuine smile. “Nope, I don’t understand.” Then, he took another sip of water and then continued, “I have to say that I have no idea about relationships, especially between a man and a woman, be it friendship or love. I have been sick of women all these years. I only knew a little more when I finally met Xiaye.”

Frowning, Qi Lei stared at Mu Yuchen in surprise, “Are you serious?! I don’t believe you! That doesn’t make sense!”

“What doesn’t make sense? I’m just a normal person. I don’t like trouble, and I don’t like mistakes. I only need one woman. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the energy to take care of the mess. I’m sure you know what I mean.” Mu Yuchen gave Qi Lei a meaningful glance.

Qi Lei’s expression froze. Moments later, he replied with a bitter smile, “That makes sense. I understand it way too well. I know my old man had flings with at least four or five women.”
