When Dongfang Liuyun left the Dongfang Group, it was already quite late.
She quickly got into the car and told Qi Lei that she was going to pick him up. The couple had arranged to have dinner outside. There was a new blockbuster coming up, and Dongfang Liuyun also wanted to watch the movie.
Dongfang Liuyun did not know that when her car drove out, Fujiwara’s car was also by the roadside. When Dongfang Liuyun’s car pa.s.sed by, she was also calling Qi Lei on her phone—
“I’m driving over. Are you done?”
Her voice was naturally very calm.
“Yes, it’s just nice. I’ll wait for you downstairs. Do you want flowers?”
In Qi Lei’s office, Qi Lei had just closed the doc.u.ments in his hand as he answered the phone.
“Do you want me to give them to you or do you want to give them to me? If you give them to me, I want the golden rose.”
Dongfang Liuyun said with a chuckle.
“Didn’t I just give you one two days ago? That thing needs to be custom-made.”
Qi Lei thought about it and said.
“Then, should I gift you one?”
“I don’t want it!”
Qi Lei answered with a frown as he took his coat and slowly stood up.
“Alright, pack up and come down. I’ll be there in about 10 minutes. What time did you book the movie tickets?”
“10 o’clock. We’ll get home just nice after watching it.”
“It’s half past six now. After dinner, it’ll be around eight o’clock. Let’s go to the nearby shopping mall and look for some clothes for you.”
Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment and said so.
“Don’t I still have a lot of clothes at home with the tags not even removed yet?”
Qi Lei did not seem very understanding at this moment.
“I’m happy to buy it. Why are you still talking so much nonsense after getting the benefits? Bring me some hot water, the weather is dry, and my throat isn’t feeling well.”
Dongfang Liuyun said this and hung up the phone without waiting for Qi Lei to reply.
Qi Lei watched the phone in his hand go dark and could only shake his head helplessly. He then walked over and made a large cup of chrysanthemum tea…
At that moment, Dongfang Liuyun’s car slowly drove over. She did not notice the black sedan parked by the side, much less Fujiwara in the car.
Fujiwara heard everything she said…
The shadow of the car brushed past his shoulders. By the time he came back to his senses and wanted to chase after her, Dongfang Liuyun’s car had already blended into the crowd of cars ahead and could no longer be found.
Fujiwara clenched his fists silently. The corner of his eyes was filled with a hidden desolation. He wanted to chase after her, but he realized that he had nowhere to go. Just like back then, when he saw her turn around resolutely, he did not even have the courage to say anything to stop her.
Just like her name, Liuyun, the flowing cloud…
Something that he could not hold onto, someone he could not have, only if she was willing to stop he could…
Of course, this was what Fujiwara had felt before. Now, he understood that no matter what, he would be happy as long as he could have her. This time, even if he had to tie her up, he wanted her to return to his side.
…
When they arrived at Tai Yu Corporation’s building, Qi Lei was already waiting at the door.
The car had just stopped when Qi Lei walked around and opened the car door. Before Dongfang Liuyun could react, the fragrance of orchids filled the air. Dongfang Liuyun was subconsciously stunned, then, a large bouquet of flowers was brought to her.
“Take it. I’ll do it.”
Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and silently reached out to take it. She lowered her head and took a whiff. A refres.h.i.+ng fragrance a.s.sailed her nostrils, making her feel refreshed. She quickly reacted and got out of the car.
Qi Lei put the thermos flask in as well. He got into the car and casually threw her a box of malva nuts.
Dongfang Liuyun did not stand on ceremony and directly took it. “You’re quite fast.”
“I’ll take it as a compliment for my efficiency.”
Qi Lei said this and helped her buckle her seatbelt before starting the car.
Dongfang Liuyun could not be bothered to answer him. She took the thermos flask and drank some water.
“What do you want to eat?”
Qi Lei asked as he steadied the car.
“Let’s do Chinese food, I don’t really like the cooking. Let’s find one near the mall.”
“Okay.”
Qi Lei obeyed her.
“The wedding photo is scheduled for the end of the month. Can you arrange it?”
Qi Lei suddenly thought of this matter.
“I’ve seen a sample of the dress. I want to wear a red wedding dress. It’ll be more festive. Anyway, you wear black. Black and red would go well together.”
Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment and replied.
“Whatever you like. It’ll look good anyway. I’ve ordered a few sets for you so that you can make it in time for the wedding photo,” replied Qi Lei.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and smiled, “If we’re not busy with the company, we can rest a few days in advance. As for the location, let’s not choose somewhere so far away. It’ll be fine as long as it’s in China. I think the seaside cottage is pretty good. The scenic spots there are pretty good. When we have time to go next time, we can use it for an artistic photo shoot. Do you agree?”
“I wanted to bring you to Greece.”
“Europe? Can it be a honeymoon trip?”
Dongfang Liuyun smiled and glanced at him indifferently.
“What do you think?”
Qi Lei glanced at her unhappily. “I promised Father that I would let him hold your hand and hand it to me. I have to keep my word.”
“You and Father are pretty close. He called you a few times, but he doesn’t call me. Dont’ you say anything bad about me in front of Father. I know you’ve fawned on him a lot in private.”
Dongfang Liuyun rolled her eyes and said.
“I worked so hard to build a good relations.h.i.+p with my father-in-law, so you should be supporting me, right?”
Dongfang Liuyun narrowed her eyes at him.
“Let me tell you something. Find a time to meet Wei’er.”
Wei’er?
Qi Wei’er?
The daughter of Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha?
Dongfang Liuyun naturally had some impression of her. She was a very delicate little girl. He had met her before, but Qi Wei’er’s condition was not very good at that time, so she did not have much contact with her.
“Does she know about her parents?” Dongfang Liuyun asked.
“Of course, she knows. When they were in trouble, Wei’er probably had some memories too. She’s quite sensible. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye have been taking care of her during this period of time. At the end of the day, she’s still a member of the Qi family. She has the right to inherit the property left behind by her father.”
Qi Lei said very calmly.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded. “Mmm, you make the arrangements. I’ll cooperate.”
“Do you feel troubled?”
Qi Lei thought about it and finally could not help but ask.
“Why would you ask that? Well, it can be considered your responsibility. I can’t judge how others do it, but I must handle my own things well, this is our principle. What did you think?”
Dongfang Liuyun replied indifferently.
