Chapter 1589: Meeting (3)
When they arrived at the hospital, it was already quite late at night.
Lan Xiu went directly to Dongfang Gan’s ward with Ah Li.
At this moment, Dongfang Gan’s ward was naturally very quiet. Dongfang Liuyun fixed the corner of Dongfang Gan’s blanket before turning around to leave the room. Qi Lei followed behind.
Outside the door, two bodyguards in black were guarding the door.
“You have to go to work tomorrow. It’s getting late. Why don’t you go home first?”
Dongfang Liuyun turned around and sat down on a bench at the side. She tugged at the coat on her shoulders and looked up at him silently.
He met her gaze from above and then sat down next to her. His deep voice was gentle, “I’ll accompany you.”
“I’m fine. I’m just waiting for him to wake up. The doctor said that I’m fine.”
Dongfang Liuyun crossed her hands in front of her knees. She bent down slightly and looked at the ground in front of her. “Don’t forget what I told you before. I’ll have to trouble you with this. ”
“Didn’t you say that you won’t be courteous with me?”
Qi Lei glanced at her. He seemed to be dissatisfied with her att.i.tude, “Also, about this matter, about your mother… ”
“It’s nothing important. There’s no need to tell her for the time being. She’s out on a business trip, so she might not care about our matters. But don’t worry, my father is fine. I still have to go home and take a look during Qixi Festival,” Dongfang Liuyun replied and turned to look at him.
She thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled, “What do you think? Do you regret it now? My side is really a mess. I want to break free from it all the time, but it’s useless to just break free. It’s such a large hole, we can only fill it up so that we can truly be at peace, and not have to worry about being dragged into it.”
As she spoke, her arms held her knees. Her beautiful long hair interweaved like seaweed in front of her chest. She should be used to it, so she could say these things so casually. However, in Qi Lei’s eyes, he could sense the fragility of this woman being wrapped up by her strength.
She should be the wild rose swaying in the wind on the cliff. The heart wrapped in the flower was fragile, but the outside was a protective thorn.
He knew this feeling very well himself. After some thought, he replied, “If I regret it in the future, then I’ll accept my fate.”
“Accept your fate?”
She repeated softly and said, “Do you feel negative and pessimistic?”
“No, there are many things a person can change. How can I just admit defeat? Because the person is you, I can believe in a future where happiness lives. ”
As Qi Lei said this, he suddenly lowered his eyes and slowly reached out to gently hold her slightly cold hand that laid on her knee, “At least you’ve been influencing me in positive ways. You’ve also been encouraging me, so… the reason I dared to ask you back then was also because I believe in you.”
Qi Lei spoke these words from the bottom of his heart—
Yes, when it came to the relationship between him and her, they might not have the relationship between a man and a woman, but their relationship as comrades and allies was incomparably sincere.
When she heard this, she was stunned.
Qi Lei lowered his gaze and watched the back of her fair hand. The ring’s flashing halo was abnormally beautiful. He shook it before slowly releasing it, “Alright, don’t think too much. At most, I’ll just treat it as another dungeon. I’m not afraid. Are you worried, Swift Snowy?”
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up slowly, “Wait for me. we didn’t eat anything tonight. You have gastrisitis, so you have to be careful.”
With that, the tall figure walked past her.
Dongfang Liuyun did not reject him. She was really a little hungry. She turned and watched his back as he left and said, “Get me something that can tackle my hunger. When I came over, the roasted chicken leg beside the hospital seemed pretty good, or the roasted sweet potatoes if they don’t have that.”
…
Qi Lei responded, and the tall figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
However, after Qi Lei disappeared for a while, two figures suddenly appeared on the other end of the corridor. They gradually approached, and footsteps could finally be heard behind them. Dongfang Liuyun was naturally a sensitive person, she immediately turned to look—
A tall figure came into view.
“Miss Dongfang!”
The first person to greet them was Lan Xiu’s a.s.sistant, Ah Li.
“Why are you here?”
Dongfang Liuyun was a little surprised. She raised her gaze slightly and fixed them on the two people who were walking over.
Lan Xiu walked all the way to her side before he stopped.
“I heard that Uncle Dongfang had an accident. How’s the situation now? Are you alright?”
Lan Xiu’s dark eyes were filled with deep concern and worry. He quickly looked Dongfang Liuyun up and down several times to make sure that she was alright. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief…
“Where’s uncle? How is he?” Lan Xiu asked with concern.
Dongfang Liuyun also slowly stood up then, “He’s fine. He was just drugged. Shouldn’t you be rushing to City C?”
“On the next flight. I was worried about you, so I came over to take a look,” Lan Xiu lowered his head to look at her and replied.
Dongfang Liuyun lowered her eyes, “I detected it in time, it’s just a small matter, don’t worry about it, I… ”
Before Dongfang Liuyun could finish his sentence, Lan Xiu couldn’t help but hold her delicate shoulders and gently pulled her into his embrace, “I’m sorry, Liuyun… If you’re tired, turn around and look to me, I’ve always been behind you… Can I take back what I said? Marry me… Marry Me, okay?”
Dongfang Liuyun was startled by his words, and her body subconsciously tensed up.
“I don’t care if you have feelings for me. If you don’t mind, I’m willing. Marrying you… is better than watching you and Fujiwara get together. Liuyun, I’m worried about you… ”
Lan Xiu’s low voice was hoa.r.s.e and emotional—
Dongfang Liuyun thought that if Lan Xiu had told her this back then, she would have happily agreed, but now…
Her hands, which had been stiff for a while, finally regained consciousness. She took a deep breath and could only lift her hand to pat his shoulder. She withdrew from his embrace and raised her clear eyes to look at him silently—
“No, I was too selfish before. Lan Xiu, you are a good person… Actually, I can understand your feelings. I don’t want to lose you as a friend. Therefore, continuing the way we are is our best choice.”
“Many things, or feelings, once they are revealed, or if they suddenly change, will be lost. ”
Dongfang Liuyun sighed lightly when she said this.
