Gu Lingsha's expression froze, then she quickly replied, "Ah Feng, you know my mother is just being straightforward. She doesn't care about my father and my feelings either, but I do know that she actually cares and isn't really against you."

"No worries. I'm used to it already. They are right anyway. I'm disabled." Qi Lei put on a cold smile as he averted his gaze away.

She turned over and looked at his side profile, noticing how lonely his smile looked. Gu Lingsha felt horrible. "Didn't Morrison already contact a doctor for you? There's still a chance. Even if your legs remain the way they are, you're still better than others, and I'll always stay by your side." She meant it sincerely and her tone was gentle.

Qi Feng paused when she put her hands over his shoulder and he smiled warmly.

Gu Lingsha felt touched when she saw his smile. Her grip on his shoulder tightened slightly as she watched the ongoing fireworks. "Ah Feng, I really wish that we could stay like this forever."

"Forever? Do you really think that anything lasts forever in this world?" He suddenly looked at her deep in the eyes.

Gu Lingsha nodded and smiled. "Of course! I believe we'll last forever."

Qi Feng raised his eyebrows. "If you had told me this six years ago, I would've been overjoyed and married you right away, but it seems that things are falling into place. We are still married after having gone through so much."

Gu Lingsha felt a little odd, but it did not sound wrong. "So, we're blessed, huh?"

Qi Feng smiled without a reply.

Above them, on the balcony of the study room, Gu Qiwu was standing by the side with Doris before him. She wore a long pale gold dress that night.

Doris was casually looking at the fireworks. Although she seemed normal on the outside, something was hidden in her eyes.

"Doris, maybe you should go easier on Qi Feng and Shasha. The news of their marriage has already been announced, and they are officially a married couple." Gu Qiwu frowned as he tried to convince her.

"That's your business. I'm only expressing to you what I think about them. I can't do anything if all of you insist on it anyway. I'll never accept Qi Weier. She's incapable of growing up to be a healthy person. Gu Qiwu, I'm thinking about what will happen in the future. I don't want our daughter to put so much effort in for nothing." Doris squinted her eyes as she stared at him.

However, Gu Qiwu's expression remained unchanged. He closed his eyes and tried to hide the cold light that flashed in his eyes.

Doris extended a hand to him and grabbed his hand. "I'd love to see if Qi Feng will wager the Hui Gu Corporation like what you did back then. Be honest with me. Do you ever regret it?"

"Why would I? Doris, marrying you is the best decision I've ever made!" Gu Qiwu insisted in a serious tone.

"I don't want to doubt you, but you're a smart man. You're no longer the man that proposed to me, and you're hiding something from me? Why?" She gave him a cold, sharp gaze. Gu Qiwu actually felt a little uneasy when she looked at him like that.

"You're overthinking. I've been busy lately and traveling between cities. Didn't I get everything you like prepared for you?" he replied calmly.

"I'm no fool. You sent someone to keep an eye on me during my stay in the UK, didn't you? Do you really think that I had no idea?" Doris laughed. "I don't care what you're plotting, but I suggest that you make a decision after you give them enough consideration. I think you won't want to see us becoming like Qi Qiming and Wang Qin."

Gu Qiwu's eyes darkened slightly before he put on a smile. "You did the same thing to me too, didn't you?"

"Do you think that I'm not good enough for you?"

Gu Qiwu's voice was cold as he squinted at her and said, "Patience and feelings will run out one day, Doris. Know your limits. It's easier for women who know when to stop to find happiness. I care about you, but that doesn't mean that I'll do everything as you say. Qi Feng and Shasha's wedding will go on whether you approve of them or not, and you'll be there for it!"

His patience had run out. After saying that to Doris, he then went back inside.

Doris's eyes darkened suddenly.



As Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha were absorbed in the fireworks, Butler Fang came over and spoke to Qi Feng, "Master Feng, Madam wants to see you in the study room!"

"Mother? What does she want?" Gu Lingsha suddenly felt uneasy.

Qi Feng thought for a little while and then replied, "Okay, I'll head over right away."

"I'll go with you!" Gu Lingsha was anxious, so she started wheeling his wheelchair.

However, the butler was one step ahead of Gu Lingsha. "Ms. Lingsha, Madam said she wants to meet with Master Feng in private. She told you to wait in the living room. I'll send Master Feng over!"

Stunned, she looked at Qi Feng hesitantly.

Qi Feng patted her hand. "Don't worry. It'll be fine. I have something to discuss with her as well. This is going to be crucial for our future, including Weiwei's as well. I know you won't want to have a wedding without Mother's blessings."
