Chapter 1949: I’m Courting You (3)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Every woman looks forward to having the person she liked, her husband to be someone they can look up to, a true hero.
Dongfang Liuyun was the same.
After spending so much time with Qi Lei, she was not like many women who always picked at her husband’s shortcomings. Thus, these shortcomings accumulated over time, and when they exploded, they could cover up all of his previous strengths and all of his kindness to her.
The longer she spent with Qi Lei, the more she discovered his kindness.
“I heard from Grandfather that the best thing for two people who live together is to discover the strengths and virtues of the other. Only people who respect and admire each other are more clingy. He and Grandmother were like this. Unfortunately, he left too early. Otherwise, if you sat down with him and had a good chat, you would definitely have benefited a lot.”
When Dongfang Liuyun said this, her eyes could not help but heat up. She took a deep breath and calmed down.
“I didn’t know that you had such a high opinion of me.”
Qi Lei said happily at this moment.
Dongfang Liuyun smiled happily, “Of course. Humans are emotional animals. They also have preconceived notions. The image you gave me before was indeed not great. After interacting with you, I realized that you’re actually a dazzling pearl. However, it’s a pity that I ate this pearl.”
“Can’t you use an elegant word? What’s a pity? What do you mean eaten by you?”
Qi Lei frowned.
“I’ve always been a layman! Hey, President Qi, do you feel like you’re being chased by me now?”
Dongfang Liuyun asked as her slender fingers grabbed his five fingers. With their hands clasped together, she looked up at him.
Qi Lei was stunned when he saw this. It took him quite a while to realize what this woman meant. He also remembered that she had said that she wanted to court him back.
He chuckled. “This isn’t how you pursue a man, Missus Qi.”
“This isn’t how I pursue a man? This is a trick, doesn’t it work with you?” Dongfang Liuyun’s beautiful eyes widened as she asked doubtfully.
“There’s a way that will work better. Do you want to give it a try?”
Qi Lei thought for a moment and looked at her meaningfully.
“Hmm? Tell me about it?”
Dongfang Liuyun was also a little curious.
Qi Lei coughed lightly and bent down slightly. He whispered into her ear, “Do you want to feel the power of the domineering female President?”
Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment when Qi Lei said this, but she quickly reacted. She immediately grabbed his shoulders and pressed down. Qi Lei immediately lowered his body.
Dongfang Liuyun’s slender arm quickly wrapped around his back and supported him. Before he could react, his cold and indifferent lips also fell down accurately…
The agile slithering carelessly lingered on his thin lips.
Qi Lei was in a daze—
That was not what he meant, alright?
However, it was obvious that he enjoyed this method more. Although it had damaged his manly prestige slightly, who cares? His woman was fine!
“I saw the look of enjoyment on your face and wondered if my kissing skills have improved a lot recently.”
When the two of them were breathing rapidly, Dongfang Liuyun let go of him unwillingly. She took a few breaths and said while panting.
Qi Lei initially thought that it was wonderful, but in the next moment, her words ruined the scene.
He coughed a few times and glanced at her. He steadied himself and put his arm around her shoulder. “You’re being a little presumptuous. You didn’t learn my skills of being flirtatious yet not obscene. Hitting on me is definitely a skill, continue to endure it.”
As he said that, he continued to walk forward with her in his arm.
“Flirtatious but not obscene? I really don’t believe it. Are you that hard to hit on?” Dongfang Liuyun said disapprovingly.
“Let’s wait and see. Let’s go back quickly. I’m starving. You wash the dishes tonight!”
“Why?”
“Because you said you wanted to court me. I’m precious!”
“You…”
The couple’s voice gradually drifted into the desolate rainy night. After a while, they were no longer heard.
However, they could still see their little shadows gradually moving further and further away.
The rain, one road, countless lamps…
An umbrella, two people, and one reflection…
…
This journey was quite long, but it was also very short.
The plane slowly landed. Xi Xiaye turned to look at the man beside her. The sunshade by the side had already been pulled up. The warm afterglow was quietly falling on him, yet he was still leisurely closing his eyes to rest.
Although he had been traveling with her these past few days, it was not very relaxing either. Fortunately, the gloom between his brows had finally dissipated a little.
Mu Yinan’s departure was a wound that was difficult to heal for everyone. This wound still needed time to slowly heal itself. Xi Xiaye understood, and Mu Yuchen understood as well.
During this period of time, the husband and wife had tacitly not mentioned Mu Yinan. They just wanted the old man to rest in heaven.
The people who had left had already left, and those who were still alive still needed to continue living. Hence, after returning this time, Xi Xiaye understood that the husband and wife still had a lot of things to face.
So, today was still the beginning—
She reached out and gently nudged the man beside her.
“Wake up, Mr. Mu. We’ve arrived at City Z.”
As Xi Xiaye’s calm voice fell, Mu Yuchen slowly opened his eyes and squinted outside the window. The plane had already stopped.
He quickly turned to look at her beside him and asked with concern, “Are you okay? It wasn’t too long of a flight.”
The husband and wife did not take a direct flight, the had holidayed on their journey back. The flight was only about three hours, so it was not too long.
“Not too bad. I see that you’re quite tired. Have you slept well? Drink some water.”
Xi Xiaye poured half a glass of water from the thermos flask and handed it to him.
Mu Yuchen took it and finished it in a few gulps before returning the glass, “I’m okay. I slept late last night. We need to prepare things in advance for the company meeting the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, we’ll spend the whole day with our son and the others. We’ll go back to Grandpa’s place for lunch at noon and the Mu residence at night, Hmm?”
Mu Yuchen was just like that. He always had a plan when he did things. Xi Xiaye rarely had to worry about these things when she was by his side. He would always help her arrange things very well.
She had been with him for a few years now, so she did not have much to worry about. Instead, he had taken her in. Moreover, he seemed to be treating her better and better. He was practically spoiling her to the heavens.
“It’s up to you. Anyway, my decisions revolve around you,” Xi Xiaye replied.
“Then, occasionally, you can rotate on your own too. I’m not here to tell you how to spin around my orbit.”
Mu Yuchen glanced at her and said very seriously.
“Ever since meeting you, I almost forgot how to rotate on my own. It’s your fault—”
