Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The car window was open. Qi Lei closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair to rest. w.a.n.g Chun, who was in front of him, did not speak again. Occasionally, he would look at him carefully through the rearview mirror in front of him.
After an unknown period of time, Qi Lei suddenly felt a chill creeping in. Immediately after, he felt a slight chill on his face. He could not help but raise his hand to touch the chill, only then did he realize that his fingertips were already wet.
He hurriedly opened his eyes and looked outside. Only then did he realize that it was raining outside. The drizzle quickly wet the streets, and the entire sky was immersed in gloom.
The cool wind kept sneaking in through the car window with the rain. After a while, Qi Lei felt that his face was more than half wet, but he was not as tired as before. At this moment, he seemed to be somewhat awake.
He quietly rolled up the car window. After a while, the driver’s voice came from the front—
“Master Qi, we’ve arrived at the Dongfang Group.”
As he spoke, he slowly stopped the car. He was at the roadside by the square in front of the Dongfang Group.
The car behind them quickly stopped as well. Yang Sheng and two bodyguards in black came down to open the car door. Yang Sheng was holding a large, black umbrella in his hand.
“You guys go back first. I’ll be fine alone here.”
Qi Lei got out of the car and reached out to grab the umbrella in Yang Sheng’s hand as he spoke.
“But, Master Qi, at this time…”
“It’s fine. I’ll go back with her. We’ve been busy for a long time, you should rest well for the next two days, it’s just in time for the weekend. If there’s nothing much in the next two days, don’t come looking for me either.”
After Qi Lei said this, he walked towards the magnificent Dongfang Group building ahead.
Yang Sheng watched Qi Lei’s figure pa.s.s through the square before him. After a while, he sighed helplessly and got into the car. After a while, the three cars slowly disappeared into the vast rain.
Meanwhile, in Dongfang Liuyun’s office.
Dongfang Liuyun quietly packed up the doc.u.ments and put them into her briefcase. Then, she carried her briefcase and left the office.
When she walked out of the Dongfang Group building, it was a little cold outside because of the rain. She was only wearing a light muslin dress. She could not help but shiver, she covered her head with the briefcase and strode into the rain.
The car was parked at the square by the entrance.
Dongfang Liuyun rushed to the side of the car and opened the door. Just as she was about to get in, she b.u.mped into the car door. The doc.u.ments in her hand fell to the ground!
Dongfang Liuyun could not help but curse in her heart. She had no choice but to bend down in the rain to pick up the doc.u.ments that were scattered on the ground.
The wind and rain were naturally very strong. The doc.u.ments that were put away were already wet. She could not help but find that she was a little unlucky!
It was not easy to fix up those doc.u.ments. When she returned, she was afraid that she would have to re-print and re-annotate them.
She gathered them together somewhat helplessly. At this moment, a large hand also quickly collected the scattered pieces of paper. Dongfang Liuyun also felt that the wind and rain that had been attacking her just now seemed to have suddenly stopped.
She was stunned for a moment. It was not until she saw the circle of light on the ring on the large hand and vaguely smelled the strangely familiar fresh fragrance in the air that she realized something. She suddenly raised her head and realized, the person who had suddenly appeared in front of her…
Qi Lei?
He looked travel-worn. He held a large, black umbrella in one hand and had already swiftly collected all the pieces of paper that had fallen to the ground with the other.
“How… How is it you?”
Dongfang Liuyun was naturally a little surprised. Did he not say that he would only be back in a few days?
“It’s me. Why so late? Did the Dongfang Group impose an oppressive policy on you?”
Qi Lei’s sensitively low voice sounded as he slowly straightened his back.
Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment before she stood up as well. Her eyes were as bright as the stars.
He handed the umbrella to Dongfang Liuyun and kept the doc.u.ments in his hands.
Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything. She just raised her head and looked at him silently—
Sometimes, she had to admit that when this man gets serious, he was indeed very attractive.
His long eyelashes, his handsome yet n.o.ble face…
Sensing that she was looking at him, he glanced over. Seeing her calm look, he could not help but smile faintly. “Why? I haven’t been away for too long, you look as if you don’t recognize me anymore?”
Hearing that, Dongfang Liuyun smiled and said in a calm voice, “I’m just surprised. You seem to have become more tanned, you’re not as handsome as before.”
Qi Lei was stunned. He could not help but touch his handsome face and asked foolishly, “Really? It’s impossible for me to get a tan. I’m rarely exposed under such scorching sun!”
Dongfang Liuyun pursed her lips and laughed softly. She turned her head away. Her laughter sounded very pleasant.
Qi Lei finally reacted. He lowered his head to look at her. After thinking for a while, he finally could not help but reach out and pull her into his embrace. He hugged her firmly and quietly felt her breath.
When the warmth of the man’s body reached her, it dispelled some of the coolness on Dongfang Liuyun’s body. She froze for a while before her hand that was suspended in mid-air slowly hugged him.
“It doesn’t matter even if I’m really tanned, right? You won’t not like me, right?”
His low voice could be heard by her ear.
Dongfang Liuyun froze when she heard this. She was silent for a moment before she replied, “Of course. You can’t return the goods anyway.”
When he heard that, he pulled her away slightly. He lowered his head and looked down at her. Soon, he caught the sincerity in her eyes. At that moment, he could not help but hold her wrist and kiss her.
Dongfang Liuyun closed her eyes and accepted it naturally.
It was not a good time to have a little taste. Qi Lei only had time to have a little taste before letting go of her.
“Get in. I haven’t had dinner yet. You’re treating tonight. I’ve already made a reservation at Sky Restaurant No. 1.”
“Did you come all the way back just to let me honor this meal?”
Dongfang Liuyun went around the car and sat in the pa.s.senger seat.
“My wife is smart. She can see through my thoughts with one look.”
Qi Lei was not stingy with his compliments. Then, he quietly got into the car, closed the door, fastened his seatbelt, and started the car.
