Chapter 1761: Love Comes Unexpectedly (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Perhaps love was like this. Many things and feelings would subtly change with time. When he calmed his heart to explore, he realized that there were already some things in his heart that were taking root and sprouting.
When he married her, he did not actually think of liking her or caring about her. He just felt that he did not really care about these things anymore. Moreover, they were allies, so he could not bear to see her being rejected and feeling disappointed, also…
Hence, he spoke up in the end.
At this stage, he had actually not expected it. However, he did not feel that he could reject such a feeling. At least, during this period of time, he had at least felt a little happy and filled with antic.i.p.ation.
This time, he did not take the initiative. He quietly enjoyed the faint warmth that came from her. He allowed the soft and entwined wandering to be stranded in his territory. His nose was filled with the light and exclusive fragrance of her body, there was also the faint fragrance of tobacco from before.
He could feel her slightly cold fingers opening and the touch of his ten fingers interlocking. He could also feel the soft and warm body temperature that she came over to. That was why he could not help but stretch out his hand to hug her slender waist, he also lowered his head slightly to capture her cold lips again. He pulled her tightly into his chest…
After that, he suddenly picked her up and walked straight to the bedroom.
All of his pa.s.sion suddenly burned like fireworks under the starry night sky.
When he saw that she was so tired that she had fallen asleep under him, Qi Lei lowered his head and looked at her silently for a long time. In his heart, he asked himself, are the two of them a little closer to that legendary thing called love?
However, whether it was closer or not, he would feel satisfied at this moment because no one, be it Lan Qi, Lan Xiu, or Fujiwara, could have her like he did now.
Thinking of this, Qi Lei suddenly thought that he should quickly put the wedding on the agenda. This way, everyone in City Z would know that Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun were husband and wife?
“I will try to love you well, Dongfang Liuyun, my Mrs. Qi.”
After looking at her for a long time, he suddenly said this in a low voice. His voice was naturally very low, as though he was the only one who could hear it.
In the end, he, Second Master Qi, had never really loved someone with all his heart. In fact, he did not know if he still had love in his heart. However, if it were her, he was willing to try and pursue.
After thinking for a long time, he finally could not resist the urge to fall asleep. He hugged her and fell into a deep sleep.
However, Qi Lei naturally did not know that just as he fell asleep and the sound of even breathing rang out, Dongfang Liuyun, who had been lying next to him with her eyes closed, opened her eyes silently and turned to look at him unexpectedly, as she pulled up the blanket that slid down with one hand as she propped up her head with the other. Her messy black hair draped over her smooth shoulders.
The lights in the bedroom were a little dim, but there was an inexplicable warmth and gentleness.
After staring at his quiet sleeping expression for a while, she sighed softly and said calmly, “Me too… in this world, I’m afraid that only you have the right to let me try again. You’re so good to me, what are you worried about?”
As Dongfang Liuyun muttered softly, her heart felt a little soft, but of course, she was also a little helpless. In fact, she understood his feelings very well—
The two of them probably did not feel safe either. The more they gave, the more afraid they would be. It was not that they care about what they invest, it was the feeling of not getting what they loved that would be the most heart-wrenching.
“I won’t let you lose.”
These words were very firm. In an instant, her misty eyes were filled with determination.
After saying this, Qi Lei, who was beside her, seemed to suddenly feel something. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace. However, he did not wake up, so he naturally missed the rare words that someone said.
…
The next morning, Zhou Zimo woke up early as usual. There was an early meeting in the office today, and he had not finished reading a lot of doc.u.ments, so he went straight to the office after breakfast.
“Master, it’s Madam’s call.”
He had just returned to the office from the morning meeting when Lian Ziyao picked up the call.
Zhou Zimo frowned and placed his phone on the desk at the side. He unb.u.t.toned his cufflinks leisurely and reached out to take the phone from Lian Ziyao.
“Mother, what’s the matter?” Zhou Zimo asked directly.
“You finally picked up. I’ve been calling you all morning. Why is your phone switched off?”
Liang Jing’s dissatisfied voice was heard immediately. Zhou Zimo’s brows furrowed even tighter. After a while, he said, “I was in a meeting just now. Why did you call so early? How is Grandfather?”
Zhou Zimo was most likely concerned about Grandfather Zhou’s health. When he returned home yesterday, the old man did not even speak to him. It was obvious that he was angry with him because of the matter with his granddaughter-in-law.
It would be fine if the old man did not make a scene. If he really made a scene like this, Zhou Zimo would really be helpless against him.
“How else can he be? His anger is through the roof over you. I just gave him a checkup, his high blood pressure is acting up. You know that he’s not in a good mood right now, but you won’t give in to him.”
Liang Jing’s tone was filled with helplessness and reproach.
“I’m sorry, Mother… I didn’t mean it. Mother, you don’t have to worry about me anymore.”
Zhou Zimo was silent for a moment before he said this.
“How many times have I said this? If I stop worrying, can you find us a daughter-in-law?”
Liang Jing took a deep breath and could not help but feel a headache. “Your father and I only have one son. Do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life?”
“Mother, it’s not that I’m unwilling to cooperate with you. I have my own ideas. Give me till the end of this year. If I still haven’t found a daughter-in-law for you by the end of this year, I’ll go with your arrangements and choose a good woman to marry. That’ll be fine. Tell Grandfather that if I still can’t fulfil his wish this year, I’ll compromise.”
Zhou Zimo’s gaze darkened. He was getting sick of it, and even tired of it.
After Zhou Zimo said these, Liang Jing fell silent for a moment. It seemed like she was unable to regain her senses.
“Zimo, you…”
Liang Jing said softly.
“As you wish, I won’t make things too difficult for you. In that case, it should be alright, right?”
Zhou Zimo’s tone was very calm. Then, he hung up the phone, however—
