Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dawn quickly tore open a corner of the sky, and the next morning slowly arrived.
It was a rare cloudy day. Dongfang Liuyun rarely slept until ten o’clock before she got out of bed. She subconsciously turned her head to look beside her, but Qi Lei was still asleep!
Last night, the husband and wife worked together again and exploded an underground pile, snagging a lot of things. Unexpectedly, they neglected a greater danger when trying to snag this narrow gain. They were chased and chased for a long time before they finally got rid of those people. When the two of them went offline, it was already past two in the morning. It was almost three in the morning when they were going to bed.
“Hey, hey, wake up. Don’t you have to go to work today?”
She rubbed her eyes that were still a little drowsy. She casually scratched her messy hair and kicked him.
Qi Lei’s reaction was to move his body but did not answer and continued to sleep.
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him, then got down from bed and pulled the blanket off of him before tossing it onto a chair. He reached for the air-conditioner remote control and turned the temperature to the lowest. Then, she walked unhurriedly to the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of water, Qi Lei wanted to sleep for a while more, but then the blanket was gone and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped. He could not help but shiver, and he instantly became much more awake. He reached out to feel for the blanket for a long time but could not find it. Then, he quickly sat up.
He realized that the temperature of the air conditioner had dropped. He wanted to look for the remote control, but he could not find it for a long time. He was puzzled for a moment before getting out of bed.
He had already realized that it was definitely the woman in the bathroom who did it on purpose!
He frowned and could only go to the wardrobe to find some clothes to change into.
When Dongfang Liuyun came out of the bathroom, Qi Lei had already changed. When he saw her walk out, he glared at her, but she shrugged innocently.
“I’m the boss. Even if I don’t go to the company for a day or two, no one will dare to fire me. Don’t worry, even if I don’t go to work, I can raise you until you’re happy and healthy for a few lifetimes.”
Dongfang Liuyun only heard these few words when his figure vanished through the bathroom door.
He was quite the talker?
The corner of Dongfang Liuyun’s mouth curved into a gentle smile. She shook her head helplessly and went downstairs.
About 10 minutes later, Qi Lei finally finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom. The temperature in the room had eased a little. Suddenly, he felt hungry and left the room.
Downstairs, Mama w.a.n.g had already prepared lunch. Dongfang Liuyun was sitting at the table in casual home clothes, she was enjoying her lunch while flipping through the morning papers.
“h.e.l.lo, Master! Come and have your lunch quickly. You missed breakfast this morning. Did you sleep very late last night?”
Mama w.a.n.g’s tone was a little ambiguous, Qi Lei just nodded. He walked over to the dining table and sat across Dongfang Liuyun.
It was a very exquisite and delicious Chinese dish. A few simple home-cooked dishes were served with rice.
Dongfang Liuyun looked like she had a huge appet.i.te. She ate a bowl of rice and looked like she had a bigger appet.i.te than Qi Lei.
After lunch was finished, the couple sat on the sofa and drank tea.
“Are you planning to go over today? It’s at Emperor Hotel, I heard that it’ll be quite grand.”
When Dongfang Liuyun poured him tea, he finally asked.
Dongfang Liuyun did not even lift her eyes as she poured him tea, instead, she replied, “Why wouldn’t I go? After all, I’m the fourth lady of the Dongfang family. If I don’t attend such an occasion, I’ll be at a disadvantage later on.”
“Do they have a deep prejudice against you?” Qi Lei asked. His deep eyes were locked on her indifferent and delicate little face.
“If they want to rise to power and become the person in charge of the Dongfang family, they’ll have to kill me first. Do you think they have a deep prejudice against me?” Dongfang Liuyun replied with a question.
She glanced at him and picked up the tea that she had just poured. She took a sip and continued, “I’ve sent the general situation of the Dongfang family members to your email. Take a good look for yourself and differentiate between friend and foe.”
“My grandmother is Dongfang Shuman, my grandfather’s second wife. Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi were both born to the previous matriarch. My grandmother gave birth to my father, Dongfang Gan. My father and my grandmother were very unhappy because of my mother. My grandmother doesn’t like my mother. So, don’t mention these things in front of them in the future. Also, I have an aunt who is my grandmother’s biological daughter. Dongfang Xue is forty years old. She’s not married, but she has a good relationship with my grandmother. She’s also an ambitious person. In these were ancient times, she’d probably have wanted to become Wu Zetian[1].”
Dongfang Liuyun briefly told him about the situation at home. Qi Lei naturally remembered it in his heart.
“Aren’t father and mother very close?” Qi Lei sensed the sadness between her brows and asked softly.
“They’re naturally very close. My father is a very good man. In this world, only he can tolerate my mother. However, my mother isn’t a good person. You’ll find out in the future.”
He could sense that Dongfang Liuyun was very reluctant to mention her mother. Then, the scene of meeting Song Siting the other day suddenly flashed in Qi Lei’s mind.
It seemed like there was some resentment between the mother and daughter.
“The Dongfang family’s matters are very complicated. If it’s possible, I don’t want to drag you down with me. For now, I can still bear the responsibility. If I need your help in the future, I hope you can help me. Just because of our relationship, is that okay?”
When she said this, her gaze was very sincere and honest as she silently looked at him.
He paused for a moment before suddenly reaching out to hold her thin and weak shoulder. A faint gentleness appeared on his smiling and clear face as he replied in a very low voice, “That’s natural, just based on your t.i.tle of Madam Qi, I should do my best.”
She then breathed in lightly and nodded happily, before she lowered her eyes and continued drinking her tea.
At this moment, Qi Lei had already put down the teacup in his hand and reached into his pocket. He quickly took out his wallet and opened it, then casually pulled out a credit card and tossed it in front of her.
She looked down and was a little surprised. She subconsciously turned her head to look at him, he had already put his wallet away.
“The last six digits of the pa.s.sword for the game account. ”
“I don’t need it. ”
“Just think of it as satisfying my manly pride and vanity. This is something that many women want. I’m also very stingy, but I gave it to you,” he answered very matter-of-factly.
