He noticed that Qi Longbing’s face showed not the slightest hint of guilt, as if his actions were perfectly justified.
Qi Lingfeng wasn’t angry; he just felt that this realization wasn’t so devastating to him.
Yes, because Hua Xiaomo was always ant to belong to him, Qi Longbing. He had no reason to feel guilty. So, the superfluous one here could only be , Qi Lingfeng...
Qi Longbing glanced at him, his dear younger brother, his gaze filled with an icy coldness. Perhaps he should have confronted him directly long ago. However, many rational thoughts told him not to, so he resisted the impulse to find him.
"So you knew all along. Why did you still take her abroad?" Qi Longbing’s expression turned frostier as he stared at him.
Hearing this, Qi Lingfeng smirked knowingly. He looked at his brother, casually picking up one of Qi Longbing’s pens and twirling it in his hand.
"Big brother, big brother, did you think that if I hadn’t taken her away, you could have been with her? You’re mistaken. The Old Man would never have allowed you to be with her. That’s sothing that simply cannot be changed. That’s why I wanted to take Xiao Mo abroad. Then, I was preparing to notify you... to co over..."
As Qi Lingfeng spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, a brilliant smile playing at the corners of his lips. He then chuckled aloud. "Perhaps it was fate, perhaps it was destiny. I kept waiting for your call, but you never phoned ."
"So, my wonderful wish, my hard-won idea to help you two be together, ultimately ca to nothing. It’s all your own fault! Why did you miss such a great opportunity? Do you realize? If you had just co to Arica, you could have registered to marry her."
"Then, as long as you were married in Arica and returned, the Old Man wouldn’t have said a thing. He wouldn’t have forced you to marry Pan Yutong, the heiress of Warner World. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t ant to be."
Qi Lingfeng finished speaking slowly, the smile at the corners of his lips gradually fading. He could see the fleeting mories and trains of thought appearing on his brother’s face.
Perhaps Qi Longbing truly hadn’t guessed his plan. Or, if he had, he probably would have taken a private jet to Arica to et them long ago.
"If I don’t call you, you don’t know how to call ? Is the direct line to my office—the office of President Qi—sohow inaccessible to you, the Second Young Master of the Qi Family? Qi Lingfeng, what kind of act are you putting on for here?!"
Qi Longbing suddenly cursed, furious.
This damn brat! He actually played this kind of ga with him, insisting that Qi Longbing had to call him first. Couldn’t he have called first?
They were brothers, and they certainly had their issues, but was it really so important who yielded first?
Or perhaps Qi Lingfeng never actually wanted him and Hua Xiaomo to be together. Perhaps his words now were rely to taunt him. If that was the case, Qi Lingfeng had completely miscalculated. He, Qi Longbing, would not tolerate anyone provoking him like this—absolutely no one!
If the President Qi of the past had his word as law in the business world, then the Qi Longbing of today was undoubtedly a swift, rciless blade in that arena—one no one dared to provoke. That blade would fall upon anyone who crossed him, making them bleed dry, leaving not even their bones behind.
"Big brother, there’s no use talking about this now. I’m not one to take the initiative. If you hadn’t called this ti, I probably wouldn’t have set foot in your office," Qi Lingfeng said with a smile, a faint hint of regret in his voice.
Then, Qi Lingfeng stood up, preparing to leave the office. Just as he was about to depart, Qi Longbing quickly called out to him.
"Hua Xiaomo... she’s still studying in Arica, isn’t she?" Qi Longbing asked quickly, his eyes flashing with impatience. He didn’t know what was wrong with him right now; seeing his brother, his patience was wearing increasingly thin.
Qi Lingfeng hesitated for a mont before replying, "She should still be there."
"However, if you’re going to look for her, you should do it quickly. The future is uncertain. Hua Xiaomo is a girl who’s very hard to hold onto. But, the person who manages to win her will undoubtedly be very happy." After saying this, Qi Lingfeng gave Qi Longbing a slight smile, then turned and left the president’s office without another word.
Qi Longbing watched Qi Lingfeng leave. His deep blue eyes shone with an inscrutable light. He said nothing, but his gaze grew heavy, sinking deep in thought.
After a mont, he called Yu Bao.
"Yu Bao, co to my office."
"Yes, President Qi."
A short while later, Yu Bao arrived at the president’s office.
"Book a flight to New York, Arica, imdiately. The sooner, the better," Qi Longbing ordered directly, his exceptionally handso face cast in a somber light.
"President Qi, have you decided to go to Arica to find Miss Hua?" Yu Bao looked at him, a thrill of excitent in his heart. This was the first ti in a year that Qi Longbing had ntioned Hua Xiaomo—and he had brought her up himself!
Normally, everyone knew Hua Xiaomo was a forbidden topic for him. Yu Bao never dared to ntion her casually, fearing it would displease Qi Longbing.
"Enough nonsense. Just do as I say and prepare the tickets quickly." Qi Longbing had just finished speaking when he stood up and glanced at Yu Bao. "Actually, never mind booking tickets. We’ll take the private jet. Prepare for it imdiately."
"Oh, alright then!" What else could Yu Bao say? He could see that Qi Longbing was even more anxious than he was.
Before long, Yu Bao had prepared everything and returned to Qi Longbing’s office. By then, Qi Longbing had already canceled all his etings. He had only asked his secretary to pack a simple travel bag, which was then handed to Yu Bao.
"President Qi, we can go now. The plane is ready," Yu Bao reported. Looking at Qi Longbing, dressed lightly in a white shirt and white trousers, ready for the journey, Yu Bao couldn’t help but cheer for him inwardly!
Qi Longbing didn’t say much, rely giving a simple acknowledgnt. Soon, he was in a luxury car, heading for the airport.
At the airport, his private jet was ready and waiting for him to board.
Qi Longbing and Yu Bao boarded the private jet, bound directly for New York, Arica. In no ti, they were on their way.
「New York, Arica.」
Upon arriving in New York, Arica, Qi Longbing headed straight for New York University.
Unfortunately, even after arriving at New York University, he found no trace of Hua Xiaomo.
He asked many people, but no one at the school had heard of a student nad Hua Xiaomo.
