Chapter 1526 – Sick 1
They left the restaurant right after dinner.
It was already bright outside. On the sidewalk ahead, pedestrians were constantly pa.s.sing by, and the night breeze was still a little warm from the heat during the day. The plaza in front was still crowded with people who were taking strolls. The sound of people chatting and their laughter could be heard, and it was very lively. Dongfang Liuyun’s car was stopped in the parking s.p.a.ce in front.
Lan Xiu sent Dongfang Liuyun over, and they walked side by side but did not say anything.
When they reached the side of the plaza, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly slowed down and called Lan Xiu, “Lan Xiu…”
“What’s up?” he asked as he turned his head to look at her.
Dongfang Liuyun took a breath and thought for a while, then suddenly she turned her head and looked at the cute children playing in the plaza next to her, and said in a light tone, “Have you ever thought about getting married?”
“Getting married?”
Lan Xiu was startled when he heard her question, and for a while, he was still in a daze. He did not know how to answer her question. However, his eyes that were looking at Dongfang Liuyun seemed to darken.
After a long time, he still did not say anything.
Dongfang Liuyun waited for a while and did not hear his answer, so she turned around and looked at him. “Do you find this question very difficult to answer?”
“No, I just don’t know how to answer it,” he replied.
After a brief silence, Dongfang Liuyun asked another question, “If I told you that I’d marry you, would you be able to accept it?”
As Lan Xiu listened, he immediately stopped in his tracks and gaped at her in shock. He was stretching out his hand and he immediately tightened his palm. It was evident how shocked he was by her words!
In fact, he never thought that Dongfang Liuyun would mention the word “marriage”. In his eyes, she was too good and perfect. She only deserved the best. No one around them could be worthy of Dongfang Liuyun, including the powerful Fujiwara, or his kind and considerate brother.
However, she was saying such things to him now, and it made him…
“I know the answer. Thank you, Lan Xiu! I’m leaving!” Dongfang Liuyun said without any changes in her expression. She strode forward to open the car door and immediately got in.
“Liuyun!” Lan Xiu called her and wanted to catch up, but she had already started the car and was already slowly driving away towards the brightly lit street ahead.
However, at this very moment, Qi Lei was in the office of the President of Tai Yu Corporation.
After a busy day, he had finally finished the job he had been working on for the past few days. He looked at the time and realized that it was late. He got up and looked outside to see that it was already a bustling night.
“Master Qi, have a cup of warm water to warm your stomach. It’s so late, so don’t go back home to cook dinner. I’ve already asked the hotel to send dinner. They’re all light flavors, so you can have some.”
Yang Sheng was certainly very concerned about Qi Lei and dared not interrupt his thoughts because he knew about Qi Lei’s temper after working with him all this while. He did not like getting interrupted when he was busy, and things that he prepared must be done on the same day, so staying up late was something he did often.
“Just put it aside.” Qi Lei did not feel very hungry after going out for afternoon tea in the afternoon.
“Master Qi, you need to take care of your body and not exhaust yourself. Now that the company matters are getting on track and the situation has stabilized, you should relax too. By the way, Master Qi, the human resources department has approved the interview, and the new secretary meets all the requirements, but she’s a woman—”
“Change it to a guy,” Qi Lei interrupted him before he could finish speaking. He turned his head and grabbed the coat on the side with one hand as he was about to leave to go outside. When he saw the porridge in Yang Sheng’s hand, he thought about it for a while before stepping forward and taking it with one hand. He had a few mouthfuls and drank the gla.s.s of water that was next to him, then he took a napkin and wiped his mouth before walking towards the door.
“Clean up and get off work early.”
The tall and slender figure then disappeared outside the door.
“Master Qi!” Yang Sheng yelled subconsciously, but Qi Lei’s footsteps did not stop. He sighed helplessly.
Initially, he wanted to find a beautiful female secretary for Qi Lei since he knew that he did not normally have any contact with women. Business partners or people in the industry always tried to introduce their daughters to Qi Lei, but he had always shown a lack of interest, so Yang Sheng was also quite worried.
This time, he proposed to hire another secretary for Qi Lei. He actually thought that if he could find a beautiful woman with good family background, she might be able to develop an office romance with Qi Lei, but he did not expect him to repel women to this extent…
Could he still be thinking about Miss Xiaye?
As Yang Sheng thought about this, he could not help but grumble secretly…
The black car slowly drove out of the plaza in front of Tai Yu Corporation and towards the wide road ahead before disappearing out of sight after a while.
Inside the car, Qi Lei lowered the windows out of habit. The car was not going too fast, and the shadow of the car was pa.s.sing through the dim streetlights slowly as he drove straight to the city hospital.
He was indeed on his way to see Qi Qiming, who was still lying unconscious in the hospital…
However, at this time, on the avenue leading to the Grand Summer Bay Beach Villa District…
Screech!
A sharp squeal of brakes could be heard through the silence of the night, and the black shadow of the car hurriedly stopped on the side of the road.
In the driver’s seat, Dongfang Liuyun was looking pale as she pressed her stomach with one hand. She was hurriedly looking for the familiar medicine bottle by turning to the backpack beside her but could not find it after trying for a long time…
She could only feel that her mind was going blank due to the pain, and her starry eyes were also losing focus.
Her stomach had not been well. She had been traveling around these few years, and she did not eat regularly or rest well. It was no wonder that her body had suffered. If it were not for Lan Xiu’s persuasion, she would not have gone to the hospital because she was afraid to find out what sickness she had. Fortunately, after the doctor gave her a thorough examination, she was told that it was just a gastric problem, but she needed to take some medicine to get better and that she would definitely not be able to drink as much as before.
After a short rest, the pain did not ease but got worse instead. Dongfang Liuyun was breaking into a cold sweat from the pain, and she could feel every cell of her body clamoring because of the pain. Even her eyes became a little hazy. Her fingers trembled as she turned to rummage through her bag pack, and she finally found her phone…
