Chapter 1719: Sore Point (3)
“Father, I’m almost 30 years old, and I have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Besides, I’m the one who’s getting married, and I’m not the kind of person who would put myself through this. Don’t worry, all of you. Qi Lei treats me very well. I admire him very much. I think that spending the rest of my life with him is something worth looking forward to.”
“You can make your own decisions about these matters. We’ve never been able to control your matters, I just hope that you can successfully take over my position. Of course, if you can give me a grandchild earlier, I’ll be very happy. Father is still strong and can still hold on for a few more years. When you get used to it and the child is a little older, you’ll be in your element with the job.”
Dongfang Gan was really hooked onto the idea of a child.
He did not forget to mention it to Qi Lei during the Mid-autumn Festival.
However, Dongfang Liuyun’s expression was a little different from usual. She lowered her eyes and quietly drank the water in her gla.s.s. Then, he said, “Father, why are you bringing this up again?”
“Because Father is old and wants to see you settle down and take root as soon as possible. You’ll be happy and your mother and I will be at ease.”
“I’ve said this before, let nature take its course. If it happens, we’ll have it. If he doesn’t come, even if I wanted to give you a grandchild, that’s something I can only hope for.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not deliberately avoid this topic. In fact, she thought that having a child with Qi Lei was a pretty good thing.
“It’s best if you think that way. Qi Lei is a good person. He’s just one person, if you have a child and have a family, your home will be livelier. Also, with your personality, you have to give in to Qi Lei when appropriate.”
“Father, the way you’re speaking sounds like Qi Lei complained about me to you? Am I the kind of person who would bully him?”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at Dongfang Gan.
“It’s precisely because he didn’t say anything that I have to remind you. You have to know that not every man in this world can be as tolerant of you as your father. Moreover, marriage does need to be managed,” said Dongfang Gan in a friendly tone.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun chuckled. “In my heart, Father will always be the person I respect the most. All of you are very important to me. Your daughter actually doesn’t have much faith.”
She just hoped that everyone would be safe and that the people she cared about would be safe. That was all.
Dongfang Gan nodded gently and walked over to Dongfang Liuyun with her hands clasped behind her back. She patted her shoulder lightly, “That’s good! Alright, go home early today to rest. You and Qi Lei have to get up early and rush back tomorrow. Qi Lei even called me just now to let you go home earlier. I got off work early too, I’m going to pick up your mother. If It’s on the way, I’ll send you to Qi Lei’s place.”
Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment before nodding and getting up. “Then I’ll go back and pack my things.”
“I’ll wait for you at the entrance downstairs.”
Dongfang Gan left this sentence and walked towards the door. Ah Fei quickly came in to pack up the doc.u.ments and locked the door as fast as he could before following him.
…
“Chief Su, Master Mo is Here!”
Secretary He subconsciously slowed down his footsteps and softly reminded him. He gently knocked on the door, afraid that he would interrupt Su Chen who was engrossed in reading the doc.u.ments.
However, his deliberately lowered voice was exceptionally clear in this quiet office. Su Chen slowly raised his gaze and glanced at him before replying indifferently, “Let him in.”
“Alright, Chief Su!”
After receiving the order, secretary he quickly retreated.
A moment later, Zhou Zimo’s tall and straight figure quickly appeared at the door.
“How is it going? Have you found any news? I’ve especially come to look for you today. Don’t tell me that you haven’t settled this matter for me!”
Zhou Zimo walked over with large strides and leaned over the table to look at Su Chen.
Su Chen also raised his eyes to look at him and slowly closed the doc.u.ment in his hand, “You’re quite attentive towards this matter. Does this mean that you’ve been thinking about her all these years? Could it be that Ah Chen and I misunderstood before and the person you’re thinking about is her? And not…”
“I don’t care about others! Qin Su is my savior. I’m just purely trying to thank her, can’t I do that? I’m a person who knows how to repay kindness. Don’t implicate me in those useless nonsense!”
Zhou Zimo immediately flew into a rage.
However, Su Chen smiled calmly and narrowed his eyes with interest as he said with a smile, “Don’t deny it. I can see that this Qin Su doesn’t seem to be an ordinary existence to you. However, I’m a little curious as to why you haven’t gone to look for her all these years. It shouldn’t be difficult for you, Zhou Zimo, to find someone, right?”
“You only know one thing and not the other. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand.”
“Don’t play dumb with me. I’ll leave it at that. If you don’t explain this matter clearly today, don’t even think about getting the information from me. Ah Chen and I are still so worried about you. You haven’t even been honest with us.”
Su Chen leaned against the back of the chair and changed into a comfortable position.
“I told you, it was nothing. It was just a simple expression of grat.i.tude.”
“Who would believe you? I remember that you guys were alone together for almost an entire night. Who can guarantee… could it be that you guys…”
“Please! I’m impressed by your imagination. She was injured back then, even if I really wanted to do something, I might not be able to succeed! Moreover, her skills are so good, I might not be able to really deal with her!”
After saying this, Su Chen raised his eyebrows.
“Enough, don’t overdo it! Hurry up and give me the information.” Zhou Zimo stared at Su Chen and said.
“I can give it to you, but you have to tell me, do you have any special feelings for Qin Su?”
“I know that you all think in that direction, but you’re really thinking too much. Even if I wanted to hook up with her, she wouldn’t be willing to hook up with me!”
Zhou Zimo coughed lightly and glanced at Su Chen.
“You’ve finally revealed your wolf-like ambition. Do you think we don’t know about your sullen mood?”
Su Chen had a look of disdain on his face, but he reached out to open a drawer at the side, took out a doc.u.ment file from inside, and tossed it in front of Zhou Zimo—
“She’s a special personnel. I only did a simple check on her situation for you. If you want to know the details, you can ask your father yourself. He has more detailed information.”
“She has been transferred back to City Z. She has just been transferred back not long ago. She is now a company instructor in the Military Region.”
