The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 465 - 462 I Sacrifice for You
Qi Longbing smiled proudly, thinking by then he might even have to thank his younger brother for reminding him and helping him with so much work.
Happiness was only in an instant, but how to stretch that instant a little longer, a little further, depended on one’s own efforts.
"Haha, elder brother, what a beautiful thought. But if it makes you and Xiao Mo happier, I’d be more than willing to sacrifice for you. However, I think we should all share the burden together and work towards the progress of the Qi Imperial Court."
"Because the Qi Imperial Court is indeed too large for one person to manage effectively. To be honest, elder brother, I really admire you. You’ve managed to grow the company to its current scale, which is an unprecedented glory for the Qi Family. I am truly proud of you."
Qi Lingfeng smiled at him, his incredibly handsome face lit up with laughter. At this moment, he really felt tired, but there was this growing sensation of not being able to stop talking, as if the words just kept spilling out.
Was it because I spoke too little back then, that seeing him now unleashed years of unsaid words, a significant, cathartic relief?
"Sharing the burden is excellent, so let’s share it. From now on, we’ll both share the responsibilities of the company and work together to make the Qi Imperial Court even better," Qi Longbing laughed heartily, finally experiencing this truly exhilarating feeling.
And this feeling came from kinship, a kinship that he once didn’t care much about but now provided him the greatest support.
It was thanks to Qi Lingfeng’s selfless dedication during this time that he was able to relax and attend to his personal affairs.
Otherwise, with the company’s business to deal with, when would he have had the time to sort out his own feelings? He didn’t know whether he’d collapse if both work and a tumult of emotions overwhelmed him.
Fortunately, he had his brother supporting him from behind, which made him feel much less pressure.
"Qi Lingfeng, are you willing to share future pressures with me?" Qi Longbing asked him again, looking at him seriously. He wanted to hear an affirmative answer, which represented a long-sought-after state of mind and aspiration.
"Elder brother, what’s there to be unwilling about? You’re my elder brother, and it’s only right for me to share the burden with you. Of course, while I do that, I hope you’ll also take good care of the family. Hua Xiaomo and Candy are your dearest ones, and naturally, I hope you’ll treat them even better. I will too!"
"Elder brother, I truly hope you and Xiao Mo can be happy because the two of you have really had it tough. I’ve watched your relationship develop. No one can imagine the hardships you’ve been through."
"Treasure it well, treasure Xiao Mo. I believe you are the man who can bring her happiness, and she is the woman who can bring you happiness. Your union is the most perfect in the world. I bless you with all my sincere heart," said Qi Lingfeng with a smile.
His eyes shone brightly, and his handsome face wore a gentle smile. He was truly happy for him.
Of course, if it hadn’t been for Qi Longbing’s thoughtful care and concern during this period, Hua Xiaomo might never have learned to truly cherish him. She might have continued to suffer and be in pain. Why should two loving people torment each other? That’s not right.
They should have more understanding for each other, putting themselves in the other’s shoes to avoid feeling so heartbroken, so painful. These were the misunderstandings that had made their relationship so rocky until now.
But thankfully, those rocky times seemed to be coming to an end, ushering in a future as promising as the blossoming flowers of spring. He truly wished them well. If they could enter the halls of marriage and have a beautiful future, how blissful and fortunate that would be! Well, it was a very beautiful thought, and he would definitely work hard to bless and pray for them.
"Rest assured, all these hopes will be realized. I will be very good to Candy and to Hua Xiaomo. They are our family, and we should cherish and be good to our family," said Qi Longbing, his eyes also shining brightly.
This was the first time he had had such a deep and lengthy conversation with Qi Lingfeng, something that had never happened before, and it felt truly blissful. He hoped that in the future there would be many more moments like this, many opportunities for long talks by candlelight.
He felt their relationship had grown deeper, closer, and better. Perhaps this was an unexpected outcome even Old Master Qi had not foreseen. This made Qi Longbing think of another issue.
Qi Longbing looked at him and asked slowly, "Oh, by the way, Qi Lingfeng, can you tell me why, n years ago, you chose to cut off all contact with Old Master Qi and us? Is there a reason for it?"
Qi Lingfeng felt a momentary pang of discomfort and his face sported an awkward smile. He really didn’t want to dredge up the past, but since he was asked, he felt compelled to respond.
"Elder brother, I’ve kept this matter to myself for a very long time. I had intended not to think about it anymore, but since you’ve brought it up, I think it’s necessary to tell you," Qi Lingfeng cleared his throat, looked at him, and after a long hesitation, he slowly said.
"It concerns my mother. Perhaps, while our father was still alive, my mother had an affair with Old Master Qi. I think you can understand what I mean by that. This situation has been the most unbearable for me, a longstanding grievance I’ve suppressed deep within my heart."
"Where there’s grievance, there’s anger. So, from that moment on, I didn’t want to stay in the Qi Family anymore. I escaped, fled to a very distant place, and never wanted to return to the Qi Family."
"This may be a scenario you never expected, but it is the truth, something I witnessed with my own eyes. At the time, I felt so much pain I didn’t know what to do."
"I couldn’t imagine anything; all I felt was extreme panic and helplessness."
