Dongfang Liuyun raised her beautiful eyebrows and was stunned for a while. She then bent over and took the card. After a while, she smiled—
“Is this the meaning of handing over the financial power? I have to tell you that I don’t really know how to manage money, and my ability to squander is not weaker than any woman.”
She was telling the truth, she often wandered between antique auctions or various antique stores money was naturally easy to spend. As long as it was something she liked, she really did not care about the price, this was also the reason why she had always been short of money.
However, if she sold her collection of antiques, then…
“In your dreams. There won’t be any left after you use it up,” he narrowed his eyes at her and said. He did not tell her how much he had stored in there.
This time, Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him and unceremoniously put it away. “Alright, I got it. You go on with your work. I’ll tidy up the study and it’s about time to set off.”
“Mmm, do you want to drive there yourself or do you want me to come and pick you up?”
He planned to go over and take a look. After all, he might need to get in touch with the Dongfang family.
“No need. You do your thing, I’ll drive over myself. Oh right, you can’t bring a woman companion. I’ve read the gossip about you, the women around you are too ugly and pretentious. I really don’t understand what kind of taste you have that you actually seem to enjoy it so much.”
Dongfang Liuyun poured tea for him as she turned and gave him a sideways glance.
“Why don’t I bring you along in the future?” Qi Lei gave her a meaningful glance.
“That will only lower my status. Before that, unless you become a lover, Second Master Qi, and turn over a new leaf to fall madly in love with Dongfang Liuyun and turn into a National Good Husband. I guarantee that the two of us will become the new model couple in City Z.”
“Only a r.e.t.a.r.ded person would show love like that! That’s not how a veteran in love shows love.”
Qi Lei narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a faint smile.
“Really? Then how does a veteran in love show love?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes lit up as she looked at Qi Lei with some antic.i.p.ation.
“Do you really want to know?”
He turned his body slightly and his long arms lazily wrapped around her shoulders. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at her indifferently. The corner of his mouth contained a smile that was filled with evil.
She closed her eyes and nodded lightly.
He smiled and suddenly lowered his head, quietly staring into her starry eyes. Before she could react, his indifferent thin lips had already pressed down on her
On her smooth forehead, followed by the crimson lines of her lips…
Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment, then slowly closed her eyes. In the air she inhaled, all she could feel was his aura.
In just a split second, he stepped back and pulled her into his warm embrace. He hugged her gently and did not say anything.
Dongfang Liuyun quietly allowed him to hug her. After a while, she raised her hand and patted his back. Her clear voice was a little hoa.r.s.e. “It feels good…”
“Mmm,” he responded and slowly let go of her. He grabbed the car keys on the table with one hand, got up, and left.
The steady footsteps faded into the distance and finally disappeared outside the door. Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and turned to look at the empty door. Then, she looked at the credit card on the table in front of her. There on her exquisite and beautiful face was a rare hint of gentleness…
..
Qi Lei left home. He did not go straight to the company, instead, he went to the hospital.
Qi Qiming was still unconscious. Qi Lei did not know if he wanted to continue lying down like this…
The attending physician, Liang Jing, briefly explained Qi Qiming’s recent situation to Qi Lei before leaving the ward.
Qi Lei stood silently by the bed. He looked quietly at Qi Qiming, who was still unconscious on the bed. After a while, he slowly undid his cufflinks, rolled up his sleeves, and took out a basin of clean water to wipe down Qi Qiming’s body.
He actually did this twice a week. He could only spare two days a week to visit him.
He did it very seriously. More than half an hour had pa.s.sed when he was done. Yang Sheng, who was waiting outside, was a little anxious. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Lei come out.
“Master Qi, it’s almost time for the meeting at three in the afternoon. Let’s hurry over.”
Yang Sheng came up with a heavy briefcase.
Qi Lei nodded. He took the napkin from the bodyguard and wiped his hands while walking forward.
“Oh right, Master Qi, Master Mu asked you to go through the information on the South River Project. If there are no problems, sign it and give it to him. He even asked me what you’ve been doing recently since it’s been a long time since he’s seen you.”
Yang Sheng followed behind him as he spoke.
“Isn’t he being pestered by the children at home? ”
Qi Lei recalled what Yang Sheng had said before about Xi Xiaye going on a business trip and Mu Yuchen taking care of the children.
“Haha, that’s right, Master Qi. It’s really hard to imagine a person like Master Mu personally taking care of a few children. A few days ago, the reporters even took pictures of Master Mu bringing the children to play at the amus.e.m.e.nt park. After that, Li Si suppressed it, so this matter didn’t cause too much of a stir,” Yang Sheng smiled and said.
“He’s willing to endure it. Actually, I didn’t really understand him before. Later on, I seemed to have realized some things from him. At least his att.i.tude makes me admire him very much,” said Qi Lei very calmly.
“Master Qi, from now on, you’ll be like this with Miss Dongfang— oh, no, it’s Missus. Missus is very good and very smart. She’s a good match for you, Master Qi,” said Yang Sheng.
As Qi Lei listened, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned his gaze away and narrowed his eyes at Yang Sheng, who had caught up with him. Yang Sheng was shocked.
“Do you think I’m a good match for her? ”
As he listened, Yang Sheng eased up a little. He nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. “Yes, very much so!”
“Which eyes of yours see that I’m a good match for her?”
“Both my eyes, Master Qi! Only someone like you, Master Qi, would be compatible with a powerful woman like Miss Dongfang.”
“You mean that she’s too good and I’m almost not compatible with her too?”
Qi Lei glanced at Yang Sheng and continued walking forward.
“Of course not! Both of you are compatible. Most importantly, Master Qi, you willingly chose Miss Dongfang. This shows that you feel the same way,” explained Yang Sheng.
Qi Lei took a shallow breath. “It doesn’t matter if you’re compatible or not. The key is to get along with each other. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you… ”
“Why wouldn’t I understand? I’m a married man too! ”
Yang Sheng was unhappy…
