Dongfang Gan did not say anything after Dongfang Liuyun said this. Instead, he looked at her meaningfully and glanced at Qi Lei who was beside him. He realized that Qi Lei’s deep gaze was fixed on Dongfang Liuyun.
Dongfang Gan was very sensitive. He could catch a hint of gentleness in that gaze.
Dongfang Gan was stunned. His gaze moved back and forth between the husband and wife for a moment before he looked at his daughter quietly. He suddenly realized that there was a hint of relief between Dongfang Liuyun’s brows. There was a hint of joy.
He had to admit that Dongfang Liuyun seemed to be happier than before after he married her.
“I didn’t ask Qi Lei for anything. I just told him that I’m going to hand my daughter over to him and let him take good care of her.”
Dongfang Gan only said that after that.
“Don’t worry, Father. I will.”
Qi Lei’s lips curled into a smile as he gave Dongfang Liuyun a sideways glance.
Dongfang Liuyun just shrugged. “If I don’t behave myself, even if you let a bunch of dogs watch over me it wouldn’t work, let alone a pair of eyes like his.”
“Qi Lei, don’t give her the chance to leave you then.” Dongfang Gan smiled.
“Yes!” Qi lei chuckled and replied.
…
“What’s wrong? Did you have a bad conversation with Liuyun again?”
While Dongfang Liuyun and Qi Lei were going upstairs, Dongfang Gan asked Song Siting, who had a terrible expression on her face.
When Song Siting heard this, she could not help but sigh—
“I can’t communicate with her. She doesn’t want to listen to my explanation at all. Every time I bring up these things, she will… now that things have developed to this point, what else can I say? Moreover, you have followed her wishes, what else can I say?”
Song Siting raised her hand to rub her slightly aching temples. “I’m worried to death. These things have always been… forget it, let’s just think about how to deal with your mother’s side.”
“Let them deal with these things on their own. In any case, there’s no need for you to come forward. If Liuyun insists on doing something, no one can stop her. This point is very clear to me. Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you.” Dongfang Gan consoled her.
“You seem quite at ease, what if mother makes things difficult for Liuyun?”
“Aren’t you just worried that it will affect Liuyun’s image in the company? My position can only be accepted by my daughter. Don’t forget, before Father left, he made a will. When he let Mother take charge of the Dongfang Group, he also specified that he would hand over 20% of the shares of the Dongfang Group to Liuyun as the dowry for Liuyun’s marriage. Of course, this is an internal secret. Not many people know about it.”
Dongfang Gan paused for a moment before continuing, “Other than Liuyun, no one else has more inheritance rights than her. This is also Father’s wish.”
When Song Siting heard this, she eased up a little, “Father is extremely good to Liuyun, so good that even they are jealous. Although this is good, it makes Liuyun a lot more weary than the average person. That’s why I hope that Liuyun will work harder and not disappoint her grandfather’s expectations. It’ll also prevent some people from wanting to see a joke.”
“In a family like this, having more siblings may not necessarily be a good thing, especially when it involves benefits. That’s why when I think about Qi Lei now, I actually think that Liuyun marrying him is quite good as well. It can avoid a lot of unnecessary disputes and trouble. On this point, Fujiwara might not be able to do the same,” said Dongfang Gan in a lowered voice.
When she heard this, Song Siting was suddenly startled. She thought about it carefully and seemed to think that Dongfang Gan’s words made sense.
“When I’m not around, you have to be careful too. Bring more people with you when you go out. Whether it’s your job or because of family matters, there are hidden dangers. When I’m not by your side, I’m worried that you’ll…”
“Don’t worry, it’s been so many years. Of course, I know how to protect myself. You, on the other hand, have to be more careful this time. Bring a few more bodyguards with you. If you see something wrong, don’t get too close. Nothing is more important than your life. I don’t want what happened last time to happen again. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you! Do you hear me?”
Song Siting’s tone was very firm, and her eyes were full of worry.
“Don’t worry!”
…
It was a rare cloudy day in the afternoon. The wind in the air was quite cool. It was not as hot as before, but the weather now was much more refres.h.i.+ng.
In front of a clean little restaurant on the roadside of the city that led to Jiefang South Road.
A military jeep quickly drove across the flat and wide road, and soon stopped at the Lin’s parking s.p.a.ce under the trees on the roadside of the little restaurant.
Soon, the door of the jeep was opened and a small military-green figure quickly got out of the driver’s seat.
After slamming the door and locking the car, Qin Su strode towards the restaurant.
She had just come out of the Military District and had been busy all morning. She did not even have time to eat lunch. At this moment, she was planning to find a place to eat.
The dishes in this Li’s restaurant were all delicious. Qin Su was also a regular customer here.
“One serving of winter melon soup and one serving of honey BBQ pork. Hurry up.”
Qin Su pushed the door open and walked in as she said to the lady boss in front of the cas.h.i.+er.
“Okay, Officer Qin, it’s you!”
Qin Su nodded slightly, took off her hat, and walked inside. She found a seat by the window and sat down.
The lady boss quickly poured a gla.s.s of water.
“Wait a moment, Officer Qin, it’s almost ready!”
Qin Su nodded and took the water. She took a simple sip and took out her phone from her pocket. She looked at the time and realized it was almost 2:30 in the afternoon.
No wonder she was so hungry.
The food was served in a short while. Qin Su put down her phone and focused on eating.
Of course, Qin Su did not know that her every move had been caught by a pair of eyes.
Outside the gla.s.s window, a black luxury car was parked by the roadside.
Zhou Zimo was sitting in the back seat. He was wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses on his handsome face. He was looking through the gla.s.s window at the woman who was eating elegantly with her head lowered.
As expected, there was not much of a change from before. However, her temperament seemed a little colder than before. Perhaps, she was also a little more reserved too.
Zhou Zimo thought for a long time. Finally, he reached out his hand to open the car door and slowly got out of the car.
“Drive back to the company first. I’ll get back myself later!”
After leaving this sentence for the driver, he walked away.
…
He had imagined the scene of their reunion, but he had never thought that it would be in such a calm and natural manner!
He had also imagined how she would react when she saw him again, he wondered if she would remember him.
Zhou Zimo did not know how long he stood there before he picked up his steps and walked over—
