“Why me?” Dongfang Liuyun asked with a smile.
Hearing that, Qi Lei smiled and looked at her calmly, “Why do you think?”
Dongfang Liuyun finished reading the doc.u.ment before taking a deep breath. Seeing that he had lowered his head, she could not help but feel a faint warmth in her heart.
After thinking for a while, she said calmly, “Actually, you don’t have to do so much for me. This proposal is very beneficial to your Tai Yu Corporation.”
“You’re wrong. Tai Yu Corporation is also half yours. Moreover, you’re my greatest benefit, more than anything else…”
You are more important…
Qi Lei did not say the last few words, but Dongfang Liuyun could tell that he cared. Moreover, it seemed like she did not doubt the authenticity of his words at all.
“You…” Dongfang Liuyun muttered and took a deep breath. She could not hide the feeling of being touched, “Sometimes, I wish that you weren’t so good to me. I’m afraid that I’ll feel too guilty towards you, especially since I didn’t do anything for you.”
When she said this, Qi Lei’s eyes darkened. For some reason, the smile on his lips seemed to have a hint of desolation. “I thought that you would feel ent.i.tled to all of this.”
“I didn’t mean that. It’s just…”
Dongfang Liuyun wanted to explain, but she did not know how to do so. “I just can’t bear it. It’s hard on you alone. After all, we…”
“Otherwise, what do you think I could do? Let you do it alone? What should I be doing then?” Qi Lei said disapprovingly.
“One day, when you find that everything I do is matter-of-fact, I’ll at least feel at ease.”
Qi Lei was a little tired now. He could not help but raise his hand to rub the s.p.a.ce between his brows. “Liuyun, I think that in your heart, if you encounter a problem and need someone to help you solve it, who would be the first person to come to mind?” Qi Lei asked in a deep voice.
The first person that came to mind?
Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment. She thought about it seriously before suddenly looking at him and saying quietly, “You…”
“Me?” Qi Lei narrowed his black eyes and muttered softly. He looked at her silently as well.
Dongfang Liuyun lowered her eyes and did not nod. Instead, she said plainly, “You… In fact, I have never liked to trouble others. Ever since I was young, my father told me to solve things on my own. So, I have always been used to carrying it on my own. I didn’t have a deep understanding of the concept of helping, until I got together with you…”
“Maybe it’s because I feel that I can get too much from you, so sometimes, I really do rely on you. It’s not a good thing.”
“Why isn’t it a good thing? Isn’t it a good thing to have someone to rely on?” Qi Lei asked.
Dongfang Liuyun sighed softly. “Isn’t it better to have the courage to take charge on your own? Do you want me to be your burden?”
“You wouldn’t be a burden.” Qi Lei replied with certainty.
“Qi Lei, actually, I’ve always felt that we’re not on the same level. You’re one of those people who live a more carefree life. The things you’ve experienced have made you more profound. Time has settled you down. It should be for you to enjoy life more blissfully in the future. “As for me…”
Dongfang Liuyun had a lot of emotions in her heart at this moment. “I want to work hard to chase after your footsteps, but it seems that every time, it’s because of the things on my side that bring you endless trouble.”
“There’s no need to say the rest.”
Before Dongfang Liuyun could finish her sentence, Qi Lei had already cut her off.
“I don’t know when you, Dongfang Liuyun, have started having such a guilty conscience.” Qi Lei frowned.
“Hear me out.”
Dongfang Liuyun also frowned and glanced at him. Only then did Qi Lei slightly stop speaking.
“I already know that the thing with Lin Yuanyuan was all thanks to you. Now that things have come to this, I don’t know what to say. I just want to say that no matter what happens in the future, I hope that we can trust each other. And I, I think that I really care about you. At the very least, during the days when you weren’t around, I thought that our home felt empty. After work, I didn’t really want to come home…”
This was the first time Dongfang Liuyun had said something like this to Qi Lei, and she had always been someone who did not easily reveal her feelings, even when she was with Fujiwara, she might not have said such things. Yet when it came to Qi Lei, Dongfang Liuyun’s heart always softened.
She always subconsciously wanted to give him a response or something, but she felt somewhat helpless.
“You missed me?”
Qi Lei’s eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. He stared at Dongfang Liuyun and asked in a low voice, “When I asked you if you missed me on the phone before, you didn’t say anything.”
“It’s not like we’re young and have just started dating,” Dongfang Liuyun replied as she closed the doc.u.ment in her hand. After a moment’s thought, she suddenly said, “If you want to experience this feeling, I might be able to satisfy you.”
“Hmm?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s words surprised Qi Lei. He looked at her in confusion.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her beautiful eyebrows and said coolly, “Do you want to enjoy the feeling of being chased by me? Let me give you the feeling of being in a fresh new relationship?”
“Chased by you? You courting me?”
Qi Lei could not react in time.
Dongfang Liuyun smiled and nodded. “I’ve never chased anyone before, and I want to experience this feeling. However, President Qi, are you interested?”
“Yes! Of course I am. Being courted by you is definitely my greatest fortune.”
Qi Lei smiled cooperatively. He was looking forward to her performance.
Hearing this, the smile on Dongfang Liuyun’s face became more obvious. “Alright, I’ll let you enjoy this feeling then.”
“Well, what do you plan to do now?” Qi Lei asked with interest.
The game between the husband and wife quickly entered its prelude.
“Well…”
Dongfang Liuyun threw the doc.u.ment in her hand onto the table at the side. After thinking for a moment, she glanced at him and said softly, “Follow me!”
As she said that, he reached out and grabbed Qi Lei’s large hand.
Qi Lei followed her lead and stood up as well. Dongfang Liuyun pulled him directly to the backyard.
“What for?” Qi Lei asked in confusion.
“You’ll know later.”
Dongfang Liuyun smiled mysteriously and pulled him tightly as he sped up.
“So mysterious? What could there be in the backyard?” Qi Lei said softly.
