Chapter 828. Further and Further Away (2)
“Qi Lei, I’m sorry. I didn’t think that would happen to Aunty Wang either,” Gu Lingsha spoke, the hint of sorrow unable to be concealed in her voice.
However, before Gu Lingsha could finish, Qi Lei had already spoken up to cut her short, “My mother’s already gone. Can you all stop bringing this up every time? I already said I’m fine. I’m fine! I’m doing great! If I wasn’t fine, would I have come back to work?”
When Qi Lei said this, his silent eyes gleamed with gloom.
“I’m sorry, Qi Lei. Don’t be angry! I was just… I was just concerned about you! Since you’re fine, that’s great! You look like you’ve become much thinner. I hope that you’ll take good care of yourself,” said Gu Lingsha, helplessly lowering her voice as she turned pale.
Qi Lei did not take another look at her. He turned around and walked away, leaving only an apathetic shadow behind with Gu Lingsha.
Gu Lingsha just stood where she was in a daze. She could not quite react to Qi Lei’s sudden change in attitude, and she found his indifference hard to believe. She thought about it for a long while, and then sadly lowered her gaze.
Qi Lei returned to his office casually. Yang Sheng was already in the office arranging the documents. When he saw Qi Lei, his worries finally subsided a little. He quickly went up to greet him, “Master Qi, I was worried that you’d be late!”
Qi Lei took his coat off and tossed it onto the table as he leisurely sat in his chair. He turned around and looked outside the window behind him as he said calmly, “Am I the kind of superior who’s always late to you?”
His direct words stunned Yang Sheng who could not help but think to himself, Master Qi, you are late every day! You were only two minutes earlier today.
