Chapter 1471. Shareholders“ Meeting 3
No one would have expected it to come to this stage.
His reminiscence of the time when he was young and frivolous only brought about melancholy. If he had known that his fate was destined to be bumpy, Qi Lei might not have chosen to live the lifestyle he had back then. Alas, many things were beyond his control, and what was done was done. The past was the past, and he could not change anything about it. However, he might be able to do something about the future.
“Mu Yuchen always told me that in the past. If only I had met him sooner, maybe it wouldn’t have been as difficult as it was for each of us. Or maybe we wouldn’t have wasted so much time back then…”Xi Xiaye said softly before she paused suddenly. She then turned towards him, shooting him a faint glance, and continued, “I also think that if both of us had met each other earlier, it actually would’ve been much better. I was the same as you back then. I often felt lonely, especially during my time abroad.”
“Was I as lucky as you were? I think I was unfortunate.” The corners of Qi Lei’s lips twitched, and he gave her a wry smile.
Xi Xiaye smiled in agreement when she heard him, “How come? But luck is reserved for people who are optimistic and courageous. As for your luck, it’s probably just not here yet. You’re only 30 years old, and that’s young. I just about ran into Mr. Mu when he was at your age.”
“He should already be more than 30 years old back then. Do you want some?” As Qi Lei spoke, he took the meal box on the side out and started eating it.
He was extremely hungry as he had only eaten the porridge that Yang Sheng had delivered in the morning and had not eaten anything since then.
Xi Xiaye shook her head. “Nah, you can have it yourself. I’m not hungry. Get some rest later. The nurses are watching him, and I’ll be here for a while, so it’ll be fine.”
“Ha, I won’t be courteous when it comes to you,” Qi Lei said before starting to indulge in the soup.
