Qi Lei listened and suddenly felt a little soft in his heart. He could not help but lift his arm to wrap it around her shoulders.
The refres.h.i.+ng fragrance caressed him, making him take a deep breath in enjoyment, but he did not forget to care for her—
“Are you cold?”
“A little. I won’t be as cold if we’re closer. Today’s autumn seems to have come quite quietly. It’s already Mid-autumn Festival before we know it. At this time in the northern city, autumn was beginning to show.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Qi Lei hugged her even tighter.
“Yes, but with your physique, I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand the cold over there unless you hide at home and don’t come out. I actually quite like our capital. I went there once a few years ago and stayed there for a month. I rented a courtyard house in the alley at the end of the street. The environment was very nice and quiet. It just didn’t snow in winter.”
“Why don’t we go north for the wedding? A wedding in the snow?”
“No, it’s too cold.”
“Wear more clothes, just like how you always roll yourself up like a silkworm baby in the morning.”
“I haven’t rolled myself up like that in the past few days!”
“Really?”
“Yes!”
…
When he rushed back to the Grand Lake Villa complex, it was already past 10 o’clock at night. Fortunately, it was still a rest day tomorrow, so he did not have to rush so much.
Dongfang Gan and Song Siting sent Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun to the car outside the door.
“Liuyun, take these dishes. They’ll be ready to eat once you heat them up when you get back. Your mother has already prepared them and packed them up. You’ve been quite tired these past few days. Tomorrow’s activity is at night, so you can go there later in the morning.”
As Dongfang Gan said this, he took the food box that was well-packed from Song Siting’s hands and handed it to Dongfang Liuyun.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded, “Thank you, Father and Mother.”
“Go home early. It looks like the weather will be the same for a while. Get the servants to boil some hot soup to drive the cold away. Otherwise, it’s easy to catch a cold in this weather.”
Song Siting was also concerned. Unlike her previous att.i.tude, she was much more relaxed now.
“Okay,” Dongfang Liuyun answered simply and handed the car keys to Qi Lei beside him.
Qi Lei accepted them tacitly. He took the food box with one hand and placed it in the trunk of the car.
“We’ll go home now then. When Mother and Father are free, you should come over to visit,” said Qi Lei very politely.
“Okay. Drive carefully on the road. Remember to give us a call when you get home,” said Dongfang Gan kindly.
The two of them nodded and then got into the car.
The car soon left Dongfang Gan and Song Siting’s line of sight, gradually disappearing into the night.
…
It was almost 12 midnight when they got home and showered. Naturally, the couple did not do work. Dongfang Liuyun was lying leisurely on the sofa in the side hall, putting on a mask, when she saw Qi Lei walking over in a pyjamas, she asked kindly…
“Do you want one?”
“Enjoy yourself.”
Qi Lei glanced at her and only applied some moisturizing cream on his hand.
“I remember giving you a diamond card earlier. Why didn’t you go? Isn’t that a paradise for women? I remember Xiaye and Ji Zitong often go there.”
Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Liuyun doubtfully.
“That depends on whether I have the time too. I’ve basically been working through night and day, I haven’t been able to rest properly on the weekends either. If I really had time to relax, I wouldn’t just go to the spa, I’ll definitely take care of all of my health.”
Dongfang Liuyun narrowed her eyes at him and did not hide it at all.
“Since getting to know you, I now know what it means to not judge a book by its cover,” said Qi Lei meaningfully.
“Yang Sheng will go over to help tomorrow morning. You can go over after lunch. I’m going out tomorrow and have an appointment with a client. I’ll rush over in the evening. You should be at the venue by then, right?”
Qi Lei poured a gla.s.s of water, lowered his head, and took a sip as he said.
“Yes, I should be over there. You can go there right away. Call me when you get there, it’ll be very lively over there tomorrow, and there’ll be many people. I’m worried that I might not be able to handle it then.”
“It’s fine. I’ll get them to prepare a dress for you. If it’s suitable for the theme, will a Qipao be okay?”
Qi Lei looked at her inquisitively.
“Qipao? I don’t wear it much. Do you think it’ll be suitable for me?”
“You have a good figure. You’ll look good in anything.”
“Alright, it’s just a perfunctory thing. There’s no need to prepare. I’ll just go straight to the dress in the wardrobe tomorrow. It’s not like I’m in a hurry to go to the beauty pageant, it’s Dongfang Rou’er who won’t miss the chance to show off her beauty. I’m a married woman, so I’ll save it.”
As Dongfang Liuyun said this, she extended one of her legs towards Qi Lei’s thigh.
Qi Lei, on the other hand, began to ma.s.sage her.
“I absolutely believe in your loyalty, Madam, but I think what you said is absolutely right!”
“How dare you!”
..
And it was also in the dead of night.
In Su Chen’s villa.
The couple had gone back to the old mansion for dinner tonight. They had just rushed back to take a shower. The couple was having a delightful exercise before bed, but their phone by the bedside was vibrating non-stop.
Su Chen had no choice but to stop for a moment. He hugged Ji Zitong tightly and tried his best to calm down. Then, he reached out to grab the phone by the side and answered the call—
“Zhou Zimo, you better have something important! Otherwise, I’ll chop you up right now!”
He gritted his teeth.
On the other end, Zhou Zimo moved his phone away.
“What’s wrong? It sounds like you’re not satisfied with your desires. Would I call you at this time if it wasn’t important?” Zhou Zimo said.
“Then hurry up and say what you have to say!”
Su Chen gritted his teeth and said—
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d must have done it on purpose. He did not know how hard it was for him to endure!
He has done this several times!
Several times when he was in the middle of something, this fellow would called. Why did he not see him hara.s.sing Ah Chen like this?
“Did you eat a bomb? My ears have been deafened by you!”
Zhou Zimo rubbed his ears and said with a frown.
“I think I saw Qin Su, Su Chen…”
Zhou Zimo’s low voice sounded with a hint of confusion.
However, after Zhou Zimo said this, Su Chen’s side immediately quieted down.
“h.e.l.lo? Su Chen, are you listening? Qin Su, I said I think I saw Qin Su. Back when we were carrying out our mission, that woman who almost blinded you, Qin Su! Do you still remember? That woman who saved my life and whom I’ve been looking for for a long time, Qin Su, the very pretty one! Do you have any impression of her?”
Zhou Zimo’s tone was a little hurried as he spoke.
“Hey! Say something. Can’t you get lost later? Su Chen! Su Chen! If you’re not dead, just let me know!”
When he did not hear Su Chen’s voice for a long time, Zhou Zimo said this.
