Although Dongfang Liuyun was mentally prepared, she still hesitated when she was about to sign her name on the paper.
She lightly squeezed the pen in her hand and turned her head to look at Qi Lei, only to find that he was already filling in his information intently.
Dongfang Liuyun was in a daze, but somehow she started writing as well even though she was still a little lost.
She did not know whether the decision was right or wrong because she knew very well that once she signed her name on this doc.u.ment, it would mean the start of a fresh beginning and a new life…
The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated and she took it out. She saw a text message from Lan Xiu that said: “Liuyun, if you insist, I’m willing to do it.”
When Dongfang Liuyun read that, she suddenly felt a sense of bitterness in her heart. She smiled bitterly as she put the phone back. When she looked back at Qi Lei, who had already signed the doc.u.ment, she took a deep breath and combed her long hair with one hand while clenching her other hand tightly. She stopped thinking about it and quickly signed the paper without hesitation: “Dongfang Liuyun”.
The whole procedure went smoothly, and both of them were exempted from the premarital examination, which was not a difficult procedure.
When the marriage certificates were handed over to them, they were both still in disbelief, and they exchanged glances before each reaching out to take the certificate.
As she left the Civil Affairs Bureau, she could see the twilight during sunset. The warm afterglow covered the city, and on the opposite sidewalk, there were parents picking up their children from school. It was a beautiful evening indeed.
Dongfang Liuyun sucked in a breath and silently looked away as she turned her head to look at the man beside her.
Just a few minutes ago, this man had just become her legal husband. In fact, Dongfang Liuyun could not really point out how she felt, but she did not feel too bad at all.
Qi Lei opened the marriage certificate which came in the form of a little red book. He looked at it and closed it before turning his head to meet the gaze of the woman next to him.
“You take it.” Qi Lei handed the red book in his hand to her.
Dongfang Liuyun looked a little surprised but did not refuse it.
“What? Do you regret it? Are you worried that you’ll get mistreated after getting married to me?” Qi Lei asked when he noticed that she did not seem excited. He looked at her quietly with his eyebrows raised.
“I went from a single woman to a married woman in the blink of an eye. I’m just reminiscing the times as a single woman since I can’t go back now. Do you have a problem with that?” She glared at him while taking the folder in his hand and quickly kept the red book in the folder. She walked down the stairs in front of her and continued, “Well, the procedures have been completed, so from now on, you’ll be Mr. Qi, and I’ll be Mrs. Qi.”
“That was a quick adjustment!” The corners of Qi Lei’s mouth curved into a perfect arc, which rarely happened. He laughed and followed her.
“Hi, Missus!” He strode to the side of the car and stopped in front of her as he stretched out his big hand.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows when she saw this, but after staring at him, her icy expression seemed to ease a little, and she reached out with her cold bare hands to gently hold his large hand.
“Nice meeting you!” After saying that, she let go and looked away at the sky before her, and continued, “Let’s find a place to eat. There are some things that we need to discuss. It’s still early now. Why don’t you come to my place? I have plenty of ingredients in the refrigerator anyway, and this is your car, so it’s easier for you to drive back home at night.”
“You seem to have overlooked something, Miss Dongfang,” Qi Lei said in a deep voice after listening to her suggestion.
Dongfang Liuyun steadied the steering wheel and glanced at him with doubt in her eyes. “Huh?”
Glancing back at her, he then closed his eyes calmly and leaned back in the chair behind him. He said in a deep and peaceful tone, “Since we’ve already gotten the certificate and the marriage is final, when will you move to my place? What style of interior design do you like?”
Dongfang Liuyun was slightly startled when he said this, but she quickly recovered.
“Why don’t I go over tonight? I’ll ask Yang Sheng to come and pack things up tomorrow. The Maze Tomb opened today, and I heard that a remnant map of the Holy Land has been unearthed. We can’t miss the opportunity this time,” Qi Lei suggested as he looked at her in antic.i.p.ation.
“The Wind of Black h.e.l.l destroyed my set of equipment worth several million gold coins. They’ll probably go this time too, huh?” Dongfang Liuyun’s expression suddenly stiffened when she said this, and a chill flashed across her eyes.
“They certainly won’t miss this opportunity,.” The smile on Qi Lei’s face was also a little odd.
“That’s right. So, this time we’ll sneak in and wait for the opportunity to trample them to death,” Dongfang Liuyun said casually with a faint smile on her cold face.
Qi Lei grinned. “The fifth best player on the list. Do you dare think about it?”
“Why not?”
…
The setting sun went silent, and the whole world was cloaked in gray. The villa that was usually dead silent during this time actually felt lively today.
In the kitchen, Qi Lei was preparing the last dish while preparing the tableware.
In the living room, Dongfang Liuyun was standing next to the tall bookshelf while looking at the picture of the sunset in front of her. Her starry eyes were gleaming, and there were all kinds of vases and antiques on the shelves.
When Qi Lei brought out the dishes, he saw her standing in front of a blue and white porcelain bowl on the shelf. Her gaze seemed a little different as her eyes gleamed, so he explained, “These were all collected by my mother before this. Her research on antiques was one of her few hobbies, so she left a lot of treasures over the years. I don’t understand this very well, so they just seem like old items to me.”
“You naturally won’t understand that this item has a high collection value and represents the wisdom of people in the past. You’re not an artsy person, so obviously you won’t understand the potential value of these items,” Dongfang Liuyun responded indifferently without even looking at him.
“Come over here for dinner first.” Qi Lei reached out as he pulled the chair opposite him and poured some juice into the gla.s.s.
