Chapter 1721: Reunited (2)
Dongfang Gan turned his gaze and glanced at Dongfang Liuyun before nodding—
“Father didn’t mean anything else, nor did he force you to make up your mind. Your mother always said that you wouldn’t be happy if you married someone you don’t love. In fact, Fujiwara is the most suitable for you in all aspects. After all, you had a very sincere and pure relationship with him in the past. But you and Qi Lei didn’t have any basis for a relationship.”
Dongfang Gan suddenly took a deep breath and sighed. “You have to know that a marriage like this is very dangerous, especially for people who don’t know how to manage it.”
“Don’t say anymore, Father… I’m sorry that I made you guys worry about me… I admit that I loved Fujiwara very deeply. Back then our relationship was intense, but I only had so many feelings for him, there’s none left after I used them up. How many people in the world end up marrying the person they love the most? And how many people get married purely because of love?”
“Father, you’ve been through it before, and I’m not naive. I’ll tell you the truth. I really haven’t fallen in love with Qi Lei yet, but I think that it’s only a matter of time. His tacit understanding and care aren’t something any man can give me. Tacit understanding is very important. I’ve never felt any pressure when I’m with him. I don’t know why, but I’m more and more willing to believe that he’s the one who can support the sky behind me and allow me to soar fearlessly…”
Dongfang Liuyun did not hide her feelings for Qi Lei at all. Her sincere and confident manner made Dongfang Gan feel much more at ease.
Dongfang Gan thought about it for a long time before saying softly, “That’s good! Actually, there’s no need to hide the matter between you and Fujiwara from him. He’ll find out sooner or later. As soon as the news of your marriage with Qi Lei is announced, many unfavorable comments will appear. You know how it goes, so you have to be mentally prepared. I also hope that Qi Lei can…”
“There’s even worse news. Fujiwara will return to City Z on the ninth of September to pay respects to his ancestors. Of course, he plans to stay in City Z for a long time. You have to be mentally prepared. He was delayed because he was injured previously. This time, the Fujiwara family has sent many bodyguards to protect him. He…”
Dongfang Gan’s words caused Dongfang Liuyun to suddenly fall silent. She did not say anything. She just turned to look out of the car window. She extended her hand and pressed down the car window. She allowed the faint night breeze to brush past her face. Her loose hair was soon messed up.
The car slowly drove into the auxiliary road in front of Tai Yu Corporation.
“Just park here. I’ll wait for him downstairs. You can park right in front, Father!”
Dongfang Liuyun averted her gaze.
“Mmm, remember to take the things. Come home early tomorrow morning, Father will cook something delicious for you. What do you want to eat? Qi Lei seems to prefer lighter flavors.”
“Anything is fine, but no seafood feast. I’ve been eating too much lately. I lost my composure today. Don’t take it to heart, Father, and don’t tell Madam Song. Alright, I’m getting out of the car. Open the trunk!”
Dongfang Liuyun said this before getting out of the car as well.
Dongfang Gan shook his head helplessly and opened the trunk as well.
Dongfang Liuyun picked up her things and waved at him, indicating for him to start the car. He had no choice but to start the car…
…
Dongfang Liuyun looked at the tall building that towered into the clouds in front of her. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to put away the phone in her hand. She took out a pair of sungla.s.ses from her pocket and put them on. Then, she walked forward.
“Miss, may I know who you are looking for?”
The receptionist at the front desk quickly came up and stopped Dongfang Liuyun.
“h.e.l.lo!”
Dongfang Liuyun said politely, “I’m looking for your President Qi. It’s almost time to get off work, right?”
Another person who wanted to ask their president out. Recently, there had been many wanting to ask Presdeint Qi out!
The receptionist looked at Dongfang Liuyun up and down vigilantly. Although she was quite amazed by her beauty, their President Qi was not someone who one could meet just because they wanted to. However, they still had to have basic etiquette.
“May I ask if you have an appointment?” The receptionist asked.
“Appointment?”
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly remembered the last time she came over, it seemed to be the same, so she said, “I don’t have an appointment, but you can call your President Qi and tell him that there’s a Miss Dongfang waiting for him downstairs. My phone is out of battery, sorry to trouble you!”
The receptionist was skeptical, but she still returned to the front desk and called Qi Lei’s secretary’s office. The person at the top only asked her to serve the guest before hanging up in a hurry.
In less than 10 minutes, they saw their President Qi walk out of the private elevator in a hurry. He walked very quickly and soon arrived beside Dongfang Liuyun, who was standing beside the floor-to-ceiling vase.
The receptionist was shocked!
In the past, the women who came to ask President Qi out were sent away before they could even meet him. But now, President Qi came down personally to get her, and he seemed to be in a hurry!
Many people who saw this could not help but secretly guess the woman’s ident.i.ty!
…
“Why didn’t you call me first?”
Qi Lei strode over and quickly put his arm around her shoulders.
“My phone is out of battery! Father just drove over to pick up mother and dropped me off. You should be getting off work soon, right?”
Dongfang Liuyun waved the phone in her hand. Qi Lei also reached out to take a bunch of bags from her and handed them to the bodyguard behind her.
“Mmm, it’s almost time. Yang Sheng just needs to send down the doc.u.ments he packed. Let’s go.”
As he spoke, he held Dongfang Liuyun and walked out.
The car was already parked outside. As soon as they got into the car, Yang Sheng had already caught up with them with his briefcase.
“Missus!”
Naturally, he greeted her politely before pa.s.sing the briefcase to Liuyun, who was sitting in the pa.s.senger seat.
“a.s.sistant Yang, come over early tomorrow. Have breakfast at our place.”
Qi Lei did not forget to remind Yang Sheng.
“Okay, Master Qi! I promise that everything will be done properly. I will confirm it again! Please don’t worry, Missus!” Yang Sheng said with a smile.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded and said happily, “Okay, it’s been hard on you. Go back early.”
“Okay, thank you, Missus! See you tomorrow!”
“See you!”
With that, Qi Lei started the car, and it soon left everyone’s sight.
At this moment, the receptionist from before came forward and asked—
“a.s.sistant Yang, the woman just now was…”
Yang Sheng glanced at them and replied, “She’s the President’s wife that you have all been curious about! In the future, be more polite when you see the Missus!”
