After Dongfang Liuyun said this, she lowered her head and continued eating her meal.
Qi Lei thought about it and did not say anything else. He also began to eat in silence.
After lunch, the couple did not go out. Instead, they went straight to the study to handle official business. Dongfang Liuyun occupied the desk while Qi Lei sat on the sofa and began to call Yang Sheng to arrange for an artist to perform, there was also the matter of modifying Dongfang Liuyun’s plans and promotions.
Qi Lei had always been involved in the activities that Dongfang Liuyun was responsible for, so it was not difficult for him to familiarize himself with them. Moreover, Qi Lei was already familiar with this area. It seemed like it was a common occurrence for him to be involved in the promotion of movies and artists, he was even more adept at modifying and dealing with it.
Dongfang Liuyun was on her way to work on her proposal. She had to hand it over to Lin Yuanyuan the next day, and she did not want that woman to use it as an excuse. After all, she was very busy right now.
Qi Lei finished his tasks very quickly, but Dongfang Liuyun lost track of time when she was busy.
After an unknown period of time, Dongfang Liuyun did not have time to react to the fragrance of the tea. An exquisite rectangular brocade box was handed to her. She was stunned for a moment and stopped what she was doing. She quickly looked up and realized that Qi Lei was standing beside her without her knowing. He was holding a brocade box in his hand and handing it to her.
“It’s a gift that you brought back. Whether you want to keep it or not, you’ll have to see for yourself.”
Qi Lei’s deep voice sounded.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes. “If it’s too cheap. I won’t accept it!”
As she spoke, she reached out and took it over. She slowly opened it.
As soon as she opened it, she could faintly feel a cool and faint fragrance permeating the air. It was refreshing, and what greeted her eyes was a faint glow of jade.
Dongfang Liuyun immediately tensed up and narrowed her eyes. When she saw what was in the brocade box clearly, her starry eyes froze for a moment. She was in a daze for a moment before she suddenly raised her head to look at Qi Lei and said in shock, “Violet Jade? This hairpin… Where did you get it?”
Dongfang Liuyun could not hide the shock in his eyes. As he spoke, he pulled open the drawer and took out a magnifying gla.s.s. He began to examine the hairpin in his hand
It was a very beautiful hairpin. Its entire body was full of top-grade violet jade. It outlined the blooming roses and the falling ta.s.sels swaying.
Dongfang Liuyun looked at it and could not help but exclaim in admiration.
“Good stuff! The water head is so good. It’s almost perfect! Where did you get it?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s face showed a rare hint of eagerness, and his eyes did not hide his liking for it.
“It’s fine as long as you like it. Don’t ask where it came from. This is brand-new. I know you like these strange things.”
Qi Lei was clearly affected by the smile on her face as he said coolly.
Dongfang Liuyun tightened her grip on the hairpin in her hand. She could not help but look up at him and beckoned with her finger. Qi Lei raised his handsome eyebrows and lowered his head obediently. Dongfang Liuyun generously reached out and hooked her neck, she quickly planted a kiss on his indifferent thin lips—
“I like the gift very much. Won’t be courteous!”
If she wanted it, she naturally wanted it. She accepted it as a matter of course.
Qi Lei was stunned for a moment. The faint warmth faded away. Her breath was still there, but he could not help but feel a slight warmth on his face.
“Next time, I’ll give you a bracelet and…”
“This is enough. If you have sufficient funds, you can show off your skills at the charity banquet. You won’t feel bad if you use the funds at a crucial point. These things are just the value of a collection. If you keep more of them, they’ll be of great use, just like this time.”
Dongfang Liuyun was a person who was easily satisfied.
“Of course. Don’t worry, I won’t embarra.s.s you.” Qi Lei smiled.
“Just put on your cold and aloof demeanor,” Dongfang Liuyun replied indifferently, then carefully put away the brocade box.
“With you by my side, others may not be able to get close to me without me needing to be cold and aloof.”
“You know that’s not what I’m talking about, but you still can’t bring a female companion with you this time.”
“You want to be my female companion?”
Qi Lei looked at her with some antic.i.p.ation.
However, she gave him a sideways glance. “I have mental mysophobia. I don’t want to face a husband who has many female companions every day. I saw a sentence in the past that made a lot of sense. I’m willing to share it with you.”
“What’s that?”
Qi Lei took the cup of tea from her hand and took a sip before returning it to her as he asked.
“A truly successful and intelligent man will be loyal to his marriage and his family because he knows very well that only in this way will he be able to fully realize his ambitions. I’ve always been disgraced by the success of my career, my relationships, and the failure of my marriage. You don’t have to refute my words. At least to me, I think what I said is right. Any reason for their relationship and marriage to be unfaithful is an excuse. In the long time they’ve been together, they’ve had countless opportunities to lay their cards on the table.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was unusually heavy and determined when she said these words.
Qi Lei did not want to defend her. He just felt that the way she looked made him feel… inexplicable!
That was what he thought before. Qi Qiming’s infidelity to w.a.n.g Qin…
The impact of his childhood made him deeply touched.
“Alright, as long as you know these things. It shouldn’t be our turn. If you’re like me, your thoughts aren’t on love. We’re not young anymore, so there’s no need to pursue the so-called true love.”
When Dongfang Liuyun said this, Qi Lei immediately raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “How do you know that there’s no need for us to pursue true love?”
“Are you referring to us?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s mind spun very quickly, and she quickly realized what Qi Lei meant.
Qi Lei did not deny it. He squinted at her with interest. “What if I say yes?”
“That’s normal. It would be dangerous if we weren’t attracted to each other or tolerant of each other. I’ve said it before. I admit that my past may not have been so bright and beautiful, but I’m a person who views loyalty as her life. Of course, these things are mutual.”
Dongfang Liuyun lowered his head and took a sip of tea. “I want to be a smart and simple person. What about you, Qi Lei?”
She rarely called him by his name. At this moment, when he heard her say this, he could not help but feel a surge of emotions in his heart.
Did he want to be a smart and simple person?
Actually, he also wanted to..
“Of course, live a simple and comfortable life.”
He replied with certainty.
Only then did Dongfang Liuyun smile happily. “That’s good. Let’s create and protect it together.”
At this moment, Qi Lei suddenly did not know what to say. He just felt that, in an instant, his heart became even braver and stronger!
