Su Chen did not seem to be interested in getting promoted and getting rich. He was not cut out to be a businessman, so he could only live like this for now.
Compared to the political arena, Su Chen’s original intentions had not changed. He still preferred to stay in the army. If it were not for his family’s reasons, he would not want to come back. Now that he had a family, his heart had finally settled down for the past year or two.
“Man struggles upwards, water flows downwards. There are rules in the industry too. Don’t let down their good intentions.”
Mu Yuchen’s deep voice was heard as he looked at Su Chen with an unusually deep gaze.
Su Chen naturally knew what Mu Yuchen meant. He thought about it and nodded. “I understand, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
Mu Yuchen then lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine thoughtfully.
“I don’t think there’s much of a problem with you. Uncle Su just got promoted two years ago. Even though we don’t want to bask in the old man’s glory, who wouldn’t think about that when the time comes?” Zhou Zimo said.
“Alright, that’s enough. It’ll be good if I really get promoted, I could cover you lot too.”
As they spoke, the buddies looked at each other and smiled.
…
Dongfang Liuyun’s health had slowly recovered, almost the same as she was before her pregnancy. Apart from her complexion looking a little ruddier than before, she looked more charming than before.
Today, she was wearing a black floral dress. She looked somewhat gentle, and there was an unconcealable joy and happiness between her brows.
At this moment, she was also busy greeting the guests.
Lan Xiu just watched from the side and did not walk up.
Fujiwara had said that he would come today, but he still had not seen him. In fact, Lan Xiu was very clear that he would most likely not come either. Lan Xiu could slowly hide his intentions, but Fujiwara might not be able to. From the recent conversation, he could tell that Fujiwara was only forcing himself to not disturb Dongfang Liuyun.
His feelings for Dongfang Liuyun did not decrease, they were only temporarily stranded.
However, the fate between them was shallow. With such a a stubbornness, it was destined that there would not be a happy ending, so why should he persist?
The twins were very cute. Lan Xiu had just gone over to take a look. Seeing the joy and happiness on Dongfang Liuyun’s face, Lan Xiu’s tensed heart seemed to ease up.
This was really the best ending for them.
It did not necessarily have to be two people who understood each other the best that give each other happiness. For example, he and Dongfang Liuyun had known each other for more than 20 years, but was it not still inferior to Qi Lei’s?
Therefore, there was not really anything to take for granted in this world. It was just fate.
Lan Xiu took a deep breath. Suddenly, there was a slight bitterness in his throat. He raised his hand in a daze, wanting to take a sip of wine. However, at this moment, a familiar and cold fragrance assaulted him. He was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, suddenly, he heard the sound of wine glasses clinking. He looked in the direction of the sound and realized that Leng Xinran was pouring some wine into his empty wine glass.
“Where did you go just now? I’ve been looking for you for quite a while.”
Seeing Leng Xinran, Lan Xiu’s expression eased up a little, and he asked with concern.
“I was talking to Qin Su for a while. How much did you drink? You don’t look too great.”
Lan Xiu’s alcohol tolerance was not great. At this moment, his face was slightly red and he did not look very good.
“I’m fine. I didn’t drink much,” Lan Xiu replied.
“Go and sit down.”
Leng Xinran pointed to the sofa at the side and walked over as well. Lan Xiu followed behind her.
“Your stomach hasn’t been very good recently. Be careful. Your body is yours, you don’t even cherish it. You’ll regret it when you’re suffering.”
Lan Xiu lowered his head and took a sip. Only then did he realize that what Leng Xinran poured was warm lemonade, not wine.
“Drink some. It’ll relieve some of the alcohol.”
Leng Xinran simply handed the cup in her hand over.
Lan Xiu was stunned. After a while, he reached out to take it. He did not refuse and drank the entire cup. The light taste suppressed it, and he felt his body warm up slightly. His entire body slowly eased up.
“They’re a good match.”
Leng Xinran’s calm voice was heard. Lan Xiu slowly raised his gaze and followed her gaze. He saw Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun standing side by side in front of him. At this moment, the couple’s faces were filled with a faint smile, there was happiness between their brows.
As he looked, Lan Xiu suddenly laughed softly. “Mm, I didn’t think much of it before. However, after seeing them recently, I realized that they’re the most suitable couple.”
“Actually, there is no such thing as whether they are truly suitable or not. There is no such thing as being truly suitable. It’s just that they can tolerate each other, be humble, and cherish each other.”
As soon as Lan Xiu finished speaking, Leng Xinran said the same thing. After thinking for a moment, she continued, “You’d only feel unsuitable if the person you met isn’t enough for the other party to tolerate and care for them. I think this is the so-called cause and effect relationship.”
“Of course, it’s also a good thing that feelings happen during this process.”
…
Lan Xiu was silent for a moment. Thinking about it, it seemed like what she said made sense.
In the end, he, Lan Xiu, was not someone who could change Dongfang Liuyun and give her a sense of security.
“I hope that she can continue like this forever. After suffering so much in the past, at this moment, I hope that she can have it forever.”
As Lan Xiu said this, he suddenly thought of Lan Qi. If he was still around, could he also make Dongfang Liuyun so happy?
Lan Qi’s feelings for Dongfang Liuyun were also very deep. It was so deep that he could give up everything, including his life, for her.
Perhaps this was the reason why Dongfang Liuyun could never forget Lan Qi. Whenever she talked about him, she would feel heartbroken?
“It’s also a kind of happiness for her that you’re doing well. I believe in your friendship.”
At this point, Leng Xinran suddenly looked at Lan Xiu thoughtfully. Lan Xiu listened and was stunned for a moment. He could not react in time and looked at Leng Xinran in confusion.
However, Leng Xinran had already gently pulled the coat on her shoulder and glanced at him. Her thin figure walked past him, “Dongfang Liuyun is your good friend. I also hope that she can always be happy, but don’t forget that she and Qi Lei are husband and wife. You and I are fiancés. There are quite a few people from the media here today. You’re a smart person, Lan Xiu.”
At this moment, Lan Xiu finally understood what Leng Xinran meant. He scanned his surroundings and realized that there were people from the media aiming their cameras at them.
He took a deep breath and quickly followed her. He held Leng Xinran’s hand with one hand…
