Dongfang Liuyun was also a light sleeper. The moment he moved, she was awakened.
She subconsciously rubbed his eyes and reached out to Qi Lei. Only then did she realize that Qi Lei was staring at her.
“You’re awake? How do you feel? Why did you suddenly get a fever?”
Dongfang Liuyun asked as she reached out to touch his forehead. When she felt that his temperature was normal, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s not that big of a deal, did you need to send me to this d.a.m.ned place overnight?”
It was a reprimand, but there was not a trace of reproach in his tone. There was a rare gentleness in his dark eyes.
“You had such a high fever, I was worried about you. Do you feel better?” Dongfang Liuyun asked with concern. He did not care about her messy hair that was draped over her shoulders. Without care for her image at all, she even scratched her head as she leaned over.
“I’m much better now, I’m fine. When I’m too tired and am in the cold a little, I’d end up like this, I’m already used to it. Get the doctor to bandage me up, and we can go home.”
Qi Lei’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e. His large hands helped her comb her disheveled hair.
Dongfang Liuyun looked up at his IV liquid, it was almost done.
“I’ll call the nurse then.”
Dongfang Liuyun then got up and went to look for the nurse.
After an entire night, it was almost dawn when the husband and wife finally left the hospital.
The sky had just turned gray, and it was not bright yet. However, the cleaners outside had already started to get busy. They looked out of the car window. It was a long distance away, they could see the diligent cleaners sweeping a layer of fallen leaves on the ground with a long broom.
“Rest a while if you’re tired. You won’t be able to go to work today anyway.”
Dongfang Liuyun, who was driving steadily, suddenly glanced at Qi Lei beside her. Seeing that he was looking out of the window without moving, she said this.
“Autumn came quietly this year. If I didn’t see the morning scene and the fallen leaves, I wouldn’t have noticed it.”
“Yes, that’s natural. It’s the Yang Festival soon. Three-quarters of the year is over. Sometimes, when I think about these, I’ll understand what it means when they say time and tide waits for no man.”
Dongfang Liuyun replied calmly, “I’m almost thirty.”
“Isn’t it still early? You look like a twenty-year-old.”
Qi Lei looked at her and said quietly.
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly smiled. “I’m old.”
“I’m not young either.”
Qi Lei thought about it and replied.
The smile on Dongfang Liuyun’s lips widened. “I’m not worried that I’ll age, but I’m worried that your potential value is too high.”
Qi Lei smiled when he heard that. “No matter how it may be, it can’t be compared to you.”
“That’s true. You’re mine now. If your potential value is higher, I’ll benefit as well. Do you agree?”
She teased with a smile.
Qi Lei nodded without hesitation and replied quietly, “I agree very much.”
Dongfang Liuyun laughed and could not help but pat the back of his hand. “Want to have a private chat?”
“Hmm?”
Qi Lei looked at her in surprise.
“Do you think you’re a one-woman woman?”
“Of course I am.”
Qi Lei immediately replied with an honest look in his eyes. “What about you?”
“What do you think?” Dongfang Liuyun asked back.
“I don’t know,” replied Qi Lei.
“Some sacrifices need to depend on the person. Whether it’s worth it or not, at least you’re willing to do it. It’s very easy to make such an oath, but in the end, there are only a few people who can keep it. Between us, let’s not talk about these things. To be able to live in peace until old age is already considered lucky.”
Dongfang Liuyun had already retracted her gaze and was silently looking forward. As she spoke, she paused for a moment before continuing, “Grandmother already knows about us. I don’t know what’s going to happen after that either. Based on my understanding of her, it’s very likely that she’ll be staying here for a period of time. Our relationship is also a very polite, grandmother and granddaughter relationship. She’s a very serious and powerful person. She values the interests of her family above everything else.”
Dongfang Liuyun told Qi Lei about Dongfang Shuman.
“Grandmother is Grandfather’s second wife. She’s very capable and very methodological. On this point, even Grandfather praised her a lot. In terms of scheming, even I’m not her match. She’s always opposed to my parents being together. Back then, because of this matter, she broke off her relationship with Father. It was Grandfather who dealt with it, and it took him a lot of effort to ease things up.”
“She still doesn’t like Mother because she thinks that Mother will only be a burden to Father. Also, you know that Mother’s personality is indeed quite unlikable. The way she does things is also hard to accept, so it’s not strange for her to see it that way.”
Hearing Dongfang Liuyun say this, Qi Lei could roughly guess what she was thinking.
Song Siting’s personality, and this Dongfang Shuman..
“Are you worried that she’ll oppose us as well?” Qi Lei asked.
“Of course I’m a little worried. It’s slightly troublesome to get involved in the matter of inheritance rights, but now that we’re already here, it’s useless no matter how much she objects. She just wants to put some effort into me.”
Dongfang Liuyun naturally would not be worried about this. It was not something she insisted on. No matter how much she asked, she would not be moved.
“Since that’s the case, there’s no need to feel too pressured. Rest well for the next two days. Don’t worry, everything will be mine. The Dongfang Group will definitely be yours.”
When Qi Lei said this, his gaze was a little complicated. He had an unfathomable look on his face.
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him, but he had already closed his eyes. He leaned back in his chair tiredly.
In the end, Dongfang Liuyun did not ask any more questions. She just increased the speed of the car.
…
It was daybreak. For someone who was used to waking up early, such a bright day was a good time for morning training.
In a quiet corner of the backyard of the Cloud Residence.
Fujiwara was as usual, holding a sharp sword and displaying his moves smoothly.
His swordsmanship was excellent.
Dongfang Liuyun once said that Fujiwara’s blood seemed to have a warrior’s spirit. Apart from his pa.s.sion for sword and knife martial arts, his personality was also extremely cold and reserved. If it was in the ancient times, Fujiwara would have been a top swordsman.
However, top swordsmen were often lonely, and it seemed that they were destined to be lonely.
Fujiwara never believed what Dongfang Liuyun said. In the years that he lost her, he continued to do this every day, rain or shine. Because only at this time could he, Fujiwara, think of her in a quieter manner.
Fujiwara did not know how he had survived all these years. Sometimes, he almost thought that he was dead. However, Dongfang Liuyun did not seem to be the same…
