Chapter 1967: Lucky (1)
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun’s hands stiffened. After a long while, she turned her head to look at him.
What greeted her eyes was—
His handsome side profile.
“You… why do you always worry about gains and losses? Didn’t I say that I won’t leave?”
At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun could actually catch a hint of bewilderment from this man’s words… helplessness?
“In this world, there is no true eternity. Other than death… not every couple who wants to be together can live to the end and be together forever, just like you and Fujiwara did before.”
“My relationship with him has long become a thing of the past. How are you still…”
Dongfang Liuyun frowned.
“I don’t want to talk about the past. I know you’ve always cared about my feelings.”
Qi Lei cut her off.
“Then why are you…”
“I just want more from you,” Qi Lei replied.
“I’ve always been by your side. I haven’t stopped you from what you want, have I?” Dongfang Liuyun replied, but Qi Lei did not.
Dongfang Liuyun looked at him quietly for a long time. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly reached out to hold his face, turn his head, and forced him to look at her until Qi Lei’s deep gaze met her clear eyes—
“Qi Lei, do you think I’ll fall in love with you?” She asked.
When he heard her question, Qi Lei was stunned. He did not know how to answer her question.
He thought about it seriously for a moment before he slowly shook his head—
“I don’t know.”
“Have you ever liked other women? Really liked them. I heard that you liked Xi Xiaye before, right?”
Xi Xiaye?
When she mentioned this name, Qi Lei was a little dazed and could not react in time.
It was a long time ago. At that time, he really admired and liked Xi Xiaye, but at first, he also knew that she was Mu Yuchen’s woman. He did not think about anything else.
“That’s Mu Yuchen’s woman. She’s suitable for Mu Yuchen, but not for me.”
Qi Lei gave her a side glance and replied, “You’re not going to use this old thing to stop me, are you?”
“It’s not worth it. Anyway, I’m the one with you now. As for your past interests, I don’t think much of them.”
Dongfang Liuyun was quite confident in this aspect.
Qi Lei chuckled softly and patted her shoulder. “That’s all in the past, I was young and insensible. If I’d known you earlier, I wouldn’t have been so presumptuous.”
“Are you insinuating that I’m keeping a tight rein on you?”
“How dare you! I wish you were keeping a tight rein on me, but you give me too little time. Alright, let’s go back. There’s soup in the pot, and it’s still warm. I’m a little hungry.”
Dongfang Liuyun stood up as well. “What delicious food did you make?”
“Naturally, it’s what you like to eat.”
…
That night, the couple rested very late. After they finished their work, it was already midnight. Qi Lei was very tired. By the time Dongfang Liuyun was done packing, Qi Lei had already fallen asleep.
The next morning, the couple woke up very early. Dongfang Liuyun first sent Qi Lei to Tai Yu Corporation before taking the documents to the Lan Group.
Lan Xiu did not rest well the entire night. To Dongfang Liuyun’s surprise, Fujiwara was also in Lan Xiu’s office.
When she pushed the door open and walked in, Lan Xiu and Fujiwara were sitting on the sofa talking about something. When they saw her, both of them froze for a moment.
“Sit down. It’s quite cold outside.”
Lan Xiu motioned for Dongfang Liuyun to sit down. Fujiwara quickly poured her a cup of hot water.
“Am I disturbing you?”
Dongfang Liuyun looked up at the two of them and took out the documents from his briefcase. He handed them to Lan Xiu. “I rushed it out. Don’t worry, as long as you get the proposal out, the other side will consider it.”
Qi Lei had already cleared the government’s checkpoint. Dongfang Liuyun believed that the problem this time would be solved easily.
Lan Xiu froze for a moment. He looked at the documents Dongfang Liuyun handed over and was in a daze.
Seeing that he did not accept it, Dongfang Liuyun had no choice but to put it in front of him. She calmly took the water from Fujiwara and took a sip.
“Thank you.”
She looked at Fujiwara and said this. Her tone was a little distant and calm, but Fujiwara did not feel good hearing it. His eyes could not help but darken.
“I don’t remember when you’ve begun being so polite to me.”
Fujiwara looked at her steadily and picked up his water unhurriedly to take a sip.
Dongfang Liuyun lowered her eyes. In the end, she did not reply. She only turned his head to look at Lan Xiu. Lan Xiu was flipping through the document Dongfang Liuyun had left behind. When he read till the end, his tensed expression eased up a little, he seemed to be relieved…
“That’s great. This data plan is done very well. Liuyun, you’re getting more and more amazing. I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart! Why didn’t I think of this? I was still having a headache at first, but with your data plan and Ah Ye’s efforts, I don’t think we’ll have much of a problem this time.”
Lan Xiujun smiled. “I’ve already arranged for them to discuss this tomorrow night. Liuyun, you’re the biggest contributor to the success of this collaboration.”
“Don’t praise me. You’ve put in a lot more effort than me. Besides, this was done by Qi Lei. I don’t have that much ability. When the matter is settled, you’ll owe us a meal.”
Dongfang Liuyun smiled.
The smile on Lan Xiu’s face froze when he heard this. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Fujiwara. Only then did he realize that Fujiwara’s hand holding the teacup had suddenly tightened. His fingertips were slightly white.
Qi Lei suddenly became a little depressed. For a moment, Lan Xiu did not know what to say. Fujiwara’s gloomy gaze was completely hidden behind his lowered eyes.
Dongfang Liuyun also sensed that something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, she could not help but feel heavy in her heart. She took a deep breath. “Why aren’t you saying anything? I thought we could return to how we were in the beginning.”
“You know that it’s impossible.”
Fujiwara glanced at her. “Do you have a way to return everything to how it was before?”
“No.” Dongfang Liuyun replied coldly. She met Fujiwara’s gloomy eyes and said, “I only know that if I don’t take that step forward, I will never be able to start a new life.”
“Your future is only on you and not with someone else. Why don’t you understand this until now?”
Dongfang Liuyun fixed her gaze on Fujiwara, her cold voice already carrying a hint of sternness.
“But mine is with you.”
Fujiwara also met Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze and replied word by word.
