“He’s very good to you.”
Watching Qi Lei’s figure disappear at the staircase, Lan Xiu finally spoke softly.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun nodded slightly, and a gentle look appeared on her beautiful face, “Yes, he’s very good to me, so you don’t have to worry about me. Lan Xiu, you should also think about yourself. After all, a lifetime is long. Being alone would make you feel more and more lonely later on. Right now, we’re still of suitable age. It’s not forced, just a matter of putting in some effort. If it’s suitable, then don’t be stingy with your feelings.”
“This is the thing you’ve been telling me the most recently. Looks like your marriage with Qi Lei has changed some of your views. I remember that you didn’t seem to have any expectations for things like marriage before.”
Lan Xiu clenched his cup slightly and looked at Dongfang Liuyun quietly.
“After experiencing some things, it’s inevitable for people to change their view of things. I think you’ll feel the as I do in the future. Lan Xiu, stubbornness is the shackle that binds us. I hope that you can treat yourself better.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was filled with sincerity and blessings. “In the years to come, I hope that you can find a kind and beautiful woman to accompany you for life and be my sister-in-law.”
When Lan Xiu heard this, his eyes darkened. Then, he smiled. “Sister-in-law? I wonder how long we’ll have to wait.”
“It won’t be too long. When fate arrives, you won’t be able to resist it even if you wanted to, like me.”
Lan Xiu chuckled and did not answer…
…
In the study room upstairs, Qi Lei sent the revised report to Mu Yuchen’s email. Not long after, Mu Yuchen quickly called him back.
Mu Yuchen was also appropriately concerned about some things at Dongfang Liuyun’s De Bao House.
“It’s fine. I can handle it.”
Qi Lei replied to Mu Yuchen with a low voice, “Right, about Xi Xinyi’s return…”
“She’s changed quite a lot. Xiaye asked me to thank you on her behalf.”
“I didn’t do anything. It’s just a deal with you. Just let her thank you properly. Zimo has been busy preparing for the wedding recently. If you can spare some time, you can help me and Su Chen to go over and take care of it. I’m a little busy these days.”
Qi Lei recalled the matter of going to the Qin family with Zhou Zimo a few days ago.
“Don’t worry. The wedding will be held at the Zhou family’s old residence. When the time comes, just ask someone from Imperial Sky to go over and help. Zhou Zimo is smarter than you in such matters. Naturally, he wouldn’t let Qin Su Down.”
“You mean to say that I’ve let Liuyun down?”
Qi Lei raised his eyebrows.
“I didn’t mean that. Xiaye asked me when you plan to give Liuyun a wedding?”
Mu Yuchen’s faint laughter came over. Qi Lei then coughed lightly—
“It’s not up to me to decide. I want to do it as soon as possible. The date has already been set. It’ll be on the ninth day of the first lunar month after the New Year. The wedding will be held directly in the seaside town. The cathedral there and the scenery are all pretty good.”
Speaking of the wedding, Qi Lei was actually looking forward to it. He himself had been planning it for a long time!
He had decided!
He, Qi Lei, wanted to give her Dongfang Liuyun an unforgettable wedding!
“I thought you’d take her overseas.”
Mu Yuchen smiled. As he spoke, he leaned against the desk behind him and looked at the French window in front of him. He could not help but think of his and Xi Xiaye’s wedding back then…
“I don’t want her to be too tired out. When the time comes, you and Su Chen will have to come up with plans for me.”
“Will there be a reward?”
“I’ll treat you to a drink.”
…
When Dongfang Liuyun pushed the door open and walked in, Qi Lei had just hung up. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he slowly turned around. When he saw the woman walk in, he asked, “Has she gone back?”
Dongfang Liuyun had already finished bathing. She had changed into a clean nightgown, and her beautiful hair was draped over her shoulders. She was holding a cup of warm milk in her hand.
“She went back a long time ago. She just came to see me. Who did you call?”
Dongfang Liuyun handed the milk in his hand over. Qi Lei took it without hesitation and drank a few mouthfuls. “Mu Yuchen, he knows about De Bao House too.”
When he said this, Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes went silent for a moment, and a look of disappointment appeared between her brows again.
“This matter can’t be hidden anyway. I still have to go over to the police tomorrow.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was also a little disappointed.
“I’ll go with you.”
As Qi Lei said this, he finished the milk in his glass in a few sips. He put the glass aside and reached out to her.
Dongfang Liuyun also reached out to his palm. Qi Lei quickly pulled her into his embrace and hugged her. His soft voice rang in her ears. “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine, I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”
The emotional comforting voice made Dongfang Liuyun’s heart ache for some reason. The emotions that she had been holding back for a long time started to crumble. She quickly reached out to wrap her arms around his waist, “Mmm… I’m really a little… I still find it a little hard to believe. I even think of Lan Qi…”
“You just can’t let go of it. There are many things that you just have to let go of. After going through so much, haven’t you calmed down a little?”
Qi Lei reached out and touched her head.
Dongfang Liuyun looked up at him. The light in her twinkling eyes looked a little weak. “Do you really think I’m as strong as I look?”
“Is that so? Is it because of me?”
Qi Lei lowered his head and looked at her.
Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze froze for a moment. After a moment, she finally understood the meaning behind his words…
It seemed like it was indeed a little like this. In the past, it did not seem so difficult for her to shoulder all of this. At least, she would not imagine that now, after hearing his caring and comforting words, she would feel so heartbroken that she wanted to cry.
Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Liuyun said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Do you… think that I’m a burden?”
“A burden?”
When Qi Lei heard her words, his handsome brows immediately raised. He lowered his head to look at her for a long time before pressing her tightly against his chest. He said emotionally, “What burden? If it wasn’t for you, my life would also be a burden. Why would I think that you’re a burden?”
Dongfang Liuyun chuckled when she heard him. “Don’t talk about yourself like that. But if you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t have known that I was so great.”
“Good! Of course you’re great. The woman that I, Qi Lei, fancy is naturally the best woman in the world.” Qi Lei smiled and agreed. He hugged her even tighter and rubbed her head with his large hand.
“Is that so?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s heart felt warm. She struggled slightly and put her arms around his shoulders as she met his dark eyes.
“Of course,” Qi Lei said softly…
