Chapter 2066: Reunion (4)
“It’s ready, they’re calculating for an auspicious day.”
Qi Lei looked forward to their wedding more than anyone else. He did not want to let Dongfang Liuyun down.
Dongfang Xue nodded. “Liuyun is the best daughter of our Dongfang family. You mustn’t let her down.”
“I know.”
…
A sumptuous lunch was quickly prepared. To Qi Lei’s surprise, Lan Xiu came over as well.
The whole family sat around the table and had a harmonious lunch.
Lan Xiu seemed to have become different from before. Seeing him this time, he seemed to have calmed down a lot.
Qi Lei had a feeling that many things had happened while he was away. For example, Fujiwara, who had returned to j.a.pan, and Dongfang Xue.
However, he did not think too much about it. As long as everyone was doing well, there was no need to ask too much.
“How are you feeling?”
After dinner, Qi Lei was watching television on the sofa in the living room. Lan Xiu, who was sitting beside him, suddenly asked with concern.
Dongfang Gan and Dongfang Xue went to the study to discuss some matters. Dongfang Liuyun went upstairs with Song Siting. Now, only the two of them were left in the living room.
“I’ve almost recovered,” Qi Lei replied indifferently.
He lowered his head to take a sip of tea and continued, “Liuyun told me about you. Thank you for your help in this crisis.”
Qi Lei’s tone was very humble. Now, there was no need for him to be calculative. After all, Dongfang Liuyun was his person, both physically and mentally. He was also the mother of his child. There was nothing that he could not let go of, at this moment, he actually admired this Lan Xiu.
At least, he was the one who had been by Dongfang Liuyun’s side all these years. He never left her. Otherwise, she must have had it tough all these years. Thinking about it, he was a little regretful that he did not meet her earlier!
“I’m just doing my job. You’re not the only one who cares about her.”
Lan Xiu looked at Qi Lei meaningfully. Although there was a threat in his tone, there was no hostility, “So, you have to treat her well from now on. Otherwise, Fujiwara and I won’t let you off.”
“Do I even need you to say that? Of course I’ll treat my woman well. Fujiwara…”
“I know what you want to ask.”
Before Qi Lei could finish, Lan Xiu interrupted him, “I don’t know what happened between them. I only know that Fujiwara went to Liuyun on New Year’s Eve. After returning to Cloud Residence, he returned to j.a.pan. It should be related to the situation at home. I think you have some idea. By the way, he asked me to give you a message.”
Lan Xiu remembered Fujiwara’s phone call.
“Hmm?”
Qi Lei was a little surprised. He had little contact with Fujiwara and did not like to be with him. When he thought of his past relations.h.i.+p with Dongfang Liuyun, he could not help but feel jealous.
“He will be watching you guys for the next few decades.”
Lan Xiu directly conveyed Fujiwara’s words.
Qi Lei was startled when he heard this. Thinking about it, it was true that these words do sound like it was said by someone like Fujiwara.
After some thought, Qi Lei replied. His tone sounded nonchalant. “A few decades is too long. Tell him find a woman to accompany him and watch over us slowly.”
Hearing this, Lan Xiu immediately smiled. “I’ll bring your words to him.”
“Since you could even take down the Dongfang Group this time, it’ll be a huge blow to their strength. Liuyun is different from before. You…”
“I’ll naturally protect her,” Qi Lei replied plainly.
Lan Xiu nodded. “You don’t have to mind about what happened between us. Liuyun and I can only be like siblings.”
Qi Lei looked up in surprise when he heard this. He gave him a meaningful glance. He was surprised that Lan Xiu would say this to him. He thought…
“I’ll respect you as much as Liuyun does,” Qi Lei replied.
A smile appeared on Lan Xiu’s gentle face, “I didn’t expect Liuyun to choose you in the end. It’s not me or Fujiwara. I think this is fate. It’s been arranged long ago. No matter how hard we try, we can’t change it. I can’t deny that she’s much happier with you than she is with us. The two of you are very compatible…”
…
“What’s making you so happy?”
On the way back to the Grand Lake Villa area, Dongfang Liuyun could not help but ask Qi Lei. He kept a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Hearing her question, Qi Lei put away the smile on his face. He coughed lightly and turned his head to look at her. “I was thinking about the conversation with Lan Xiu just now.”
“What did you two talk about? It made you so happy?”
Dongfang Liuyun furrowed her brows in confusion. She thought that the two of them would disagree with each other and be at odds with each other. Yet now they seemed to be doing well, could they have done something behind his back?
Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Liuyun’s suspicious gaze and immediately reached out to take her hand. “I didn’t say anything. I just remembered that he said that we were a good match. It’s hard to imagine that he, Lan Xiu, would say something like that.”
They were a good match?
Lan Xiu said that?
Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes flashed with surprise.
“Lan Xiu is a very good person. Actually, I’ve always hoped that the two of you could become friends.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not hide her thoughts.
“Sometimes, being friends requires some fate.”
Qi Lei held her slightly cold hand. He paused and continued, “Yang Sheng just called to say that the wedding date has been fixed. It’s on the sixth of next month. There’s still more than half a month.”
“In such a hurry? Can it work? Your Injuries?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s first reaction was his injuries. As she spoke, she sized up her injuries.
“I’m fine now. I’m recovering quickly. Zhou Zimo is ahead of us. I’m worried!”
Qi Lei did not hide it at all.
Originally, he and Dongfang Liuyun had a good plan beforehand. Zhou Zimo was ahead of them. Fortunately, Dongfang Liuyun was pregnant and there was still no news from Qin Su. Otherwise, he would be one step ahead of him!
Dongfang Liuyun gave him a side glance and said unhappily, “This marriage is not a compet.i.tion. Why are you watching other people?”
“Of course I’m watching. No one wants to be the last.”
“Would you still care about this when you can find someone that you can spend your life with? However, I feel that Zhou Zimo is quite fond of Qin Su. I think he treats Qin Au extremely well. On the other hand, Qin Su’s personality is a little calmer. Their wedding is very perfect.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not personally attend the wedding, but she heard that the wedding was perfect.
“Our wedding will be even more perfect.”
He gave her a mysterious sidelong glance.
