Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Initially, she had hoped to marry Jin Sheng as soon as possible, but the situation was different now.
Jin Sheng was not bad, he had a good family background, and he was a decent person, but…
Dongfang Rou’er took a deep breath and blinked. She seemed to have recalled something, and her eyes dimmed slightly. She allowed Jin Sheng to hug her. After a while, she reached out to hug Jin Sheng.
“Thank you, Ah Sheng. I will try my best to be your wife, but…”
“Don’t worry, I will support you with all my strength.”
Before Dongfang Rou’er could finish her sentence, Jin Sheng cut her off, “I will treat you sincerely!”
“Let’s talk about the future in the future. Now…”
Dongfang Rou’er withdrew from his embrace and looked up at him, “You are very clear about the relationship between me and Dongfang Liuyun. If you want to let go, I will give you a chance. However, if you insist on being with me, then please mind your own heart. Because, you can only stand on my side. I have never hidden my grudges against Dongfang Liuyun in front of you. I am also not a kind person. Ah Sheng, I’m not asking you to love me to the bone. However, if you choose me, then, can you please look at Dongfang Liuyun less?”
“I know you suspected me at the first instance for what happened tonight. However, I can swear to the heavens that this really had nothing to do with me. I didn’t do it, it had nothing to do with me at all. To be honest, Ah Sheng, I’m quite disappointed. I don’t know if you’re worried about Fourth Sister, but no matter what, in this matter, I…”
Having said that, Dongfang Rou’er did not continue speaking. Instead, she eased up a little, then broke free from Jin Sheng and walked down the stairs.
This time, Jin Sheng did not continue to chase after her. Instead, he stopped where he was and silently watched Dongfang Rou’er’s figure disappear into the twilight in front of him. His gaze suddenly became somewhat absent-minded.
He stood there for quite a while and did not move a single step until he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. There was a faint, serene aura in the slightly cold wind. It was somewhat familiar.
He quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw Dongfang Liuyun walking down the stairs with a cell phone in her hand. She was probably calling Dongfang Gan—
“Okay, I got it. I’m fine. Don’t worry. You should rest early too. Goodnight, Father!”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Seeing Jin Sheng who stopped in front of her, Dongfang Liuyun frowned and put away her phone. She did not stop walking.
“Are… are you okay?”
After some thought, Jin Sheng still asked. The look in his eyes when he looked at Dongfang Liuyun was not as dim as before.
Dongfang Liuyun always thought that Jin Sheng seemed to be a little contradictory and not what he seemed to be. She did not like having deeper connections with such a person.
“Yes, thank you for your concern.”
With that, her slender figure also walked past.
“Liuyun!”
For some reason, Jin Sheng could not help but call out to her as he watched her walk past him. He subconsciously clenched his fists.
“Why? You’ve never been willing to give me a reason, what about Fujiwara? Why didn’t he marry you? Why? Did you…”
“You haven’t clarified on this yet? Who told you that I must marry Fujiwara? Sometimes, being too rigid with the so-called reason will make your life more tiring, because this answer won’t change anything. Dongfang Rou’er is very suitable for you. Putting aside the unhappiness between us, from the perspective of an older sister, I still hope that you can treat her well. If you’re smart enough, you won’t be at a disadvantage.”
Dongfang Liuyun said these words and turned around to look at him.
“You shouldn’t be so foolish as to rush to the front, right?”
As she asked this question, Dongfang Liuyun did not wait for Jin Sheng’s answer, because the answer was not important to her.
Her slender figure soon disappeared into the waning lights in front of her.
Jin Sheng’s eyes darkened. He pondered upon Dongfang Liuyun’s words and a cold smile quickly flashed across his handsome face—
Dongfang Rou’er?
She was indeed not bad, but how could he be willing to be abandoned by you, Dongfang Liuyun?
…
When Dongfang Liuyun followed Qi Lei’s directions and went over, she quickly found Qi Lei standing under the streetlights by the roadside. There was no one around him.
Yang Sheng and his bodyguards were dismissed by Qi Lei. At this moment, he was standing quietly by himself. The sight of that slanted shadow on the ground looked a little lonely.
The wind at night was naturally quite cold, and there was a faint sense of moisture in the air.
Qi Lei had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding his phone. He seemed to be thinking about something. He did not realize even when Dongfang Liuyun walked closer. It was only when she stopped and a familiar aura brushed past that he snapped back.
“What are you thinking about? Why didn’t you go home first? The winds here is a little chilly and it’s easy to catch a cold.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s calm voice sounded. It seemed to contain a faint warmth.
He turned his head and realized that she was already standing beside him. There was a hint of gentleness in her eyes that were as silent as stars. He lifted his hand and pa.s.sed through the slightly cold air to grab her by the shoulders, his emotional voice was very gentle—
“I wanted to wait for you.”
Dongfang Liuyun fell silent for a moment when she heard that. Then, she nodded gently and looked up at him quietly. “Thank you for tonight. I’m very grateful that you can understand my thoughts and support me silently instead of…”
Qi Lei smiled and seemed to understand. “I was worried that you would blame me for not rushing out to save the damsel in distress.”
“If you rushed out, I would have… Remember, Dongfang Liuyun will never need you, Qi Lei, to rush in front for her. Instead, she needs you to help her hold up a blue sky that allows her to fly freely. Even if there are ten thousand excuses, the flying bird still cannot lose the courage to fight against the blue sky and travel through the clouds to welcome the wind and rain.”
“So, thank you for understanding me, Qi Lei.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s words were very calm, and there was a gentleness in her tone that was not present in the past. “Putting aside the situation before us, do you know what kind of partner I’ve always hoped for?”
“The relationship I hope for is nothing more than ‘you’re making a scene and he’s smiling’. I’m not trying to tie someone down, or make some soul-stirring vow of eternal love.”
Qi Lei did not say anything. He just chuckled softly, bent down, and lowered his head slightly to kiss her soft and indifferent lips.
Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quick enough to reach out and wrap her arms around him, cooperating with his peaceful request…
