Chapter 2069: Wedding (1)
Qi Lei was squatting on the steps of the winding corridor in the backyard of the villa, looking at the spring scenery in front of him.
The sun was warm these days, and the peach blossoms in the backyard were blooming brilliantly. The ground was covered in pink petals, and the air was faintly filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms. When the wind blew, the petals that danced in the yard fell like rain.
He did not move, and his expression looked a little distant and peaceful.
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly realized that if this man became quiet, just the sight of his side profile was very pleasing to the eye.
After standing for a while, he walked over and put the coat on his shoulder. “The wind here is chilly.”
Feeling the sudden touch on his shoulder, Qi Lei turned around. When he saw her, he was surprised. “Why are you here?”
“Only you can come over?”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him and carefully tugged at the corner of his shirt. Qi Lei, on the other hand, continued to squat as he tilted his head to look at her.
“Mama Wang said that you went to see Dongfang Rou’er? How was it? She didn’t make you angry, did she? But you don’t look too good either.”
Qi Lei keenly sensed the sadness between her brows, so he asked the same question.
“She’s still quite arrogant, but that’s all we can do. For a crime like hers, it’s not an exaggeration to sentence her to life imprisonment.”
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, a cold smile appeared on her face. “I just feel that Uncle Ming’s death was too unjust. Previously, when I closed my eyes, all I could think about was the scene of him being killed. I was often so scared that I woke up from my dreams, and my whole body was covered in sweat…”
Qi Lei’s expression darkened when he heard that. He quickly stood up and put his arm around her shoulders. He comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’s all in the past. It’s okay, it’s okay!”
Dongfang Liuyun nodded. “I know that everything is in the past, but Uncle Ming and Grandmother won’t be able to come back to live.”
…
“Perhaps this is the fickleness of human affairs.”
She occasionally felt a little sad, especially when she saw the spring scene that was about to fade away.
Qi Lei wrapped his arms around her from behind and rubbed her belly with his large hand, “Don’t think too much. This new life is just about to start. We’ve got a long way ahead. We’ll go on living their share of life, that would be the best consolation for them.”
Dongfang Liuyun reached out to hold his hand as well and nodded. “I suddenly feel that the path before me is still very far away. Qi Lei, do you think that you’ll continue to treat me like this?”
She could not help but ask.
“I won’t answer your question. For the rest of the time, you’ll have to verify it yourself.”
Qi Lei looked at her, his dark eyes filled with her figure.
Dongfang Liuyun pursed her lips and smiled.
“We’re evenly matched now. To be honest, I’ve always felt that this is our best selves. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Qi Lei.”
Qi Lei rolled his eyes at her, disapproving. “I feel like I’ve been much weaker recently. I’m worried that it’s not going to be guidance for the rest of our lives, but that we’ll be torturing each other for the rest of our lives.”
“Is marrying me so unfair to you?”
“How could it be? Marrying me is really unfair to you!”
…
In the next few days, they were preparing for the specific wedding details. The emcee rehearsed for a long time, and Qi Lei often went over to check on the situation. The venue for the banquet was also chosen at the International Exhibition Center.
The banquet was naturally very grand and majestic. It was no different from Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye back then because the Dongfang family and the Qi family were both influential families. At the same time, they needed this wedding to shake up their reputation.
The entire banquet was actually personally organized by Qi Qiming and Song Siting. As for Qi Lei, he wanted to give Dongfang Liuyun an unforgettable wedding. After all, it was only this one time.
However, as the wedding approached, Qi Lei became busier and busier. Dongfang Liuyun had some reactions these few days, just like this morning.
She had only eaten two mouthfuls of breakfast before she rushed to the bathroom. She vomited so much that he almost vomited out the acid in her stomach. Qi Lei was so anxious that he quickly called Xi Xiaye.
Mu Yuchen had previously said that Xi Xiaye’s reaction was also very strong, so he hoped that Xi Xiaye could instil some experience into her.
Thus, that evening, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye came directly to the Grand Lake Villa area.
Mu Yuchen’s culinary skills had improved over the past two years. Qi Lei simply helped him out. The two men just busied themselves in the kitchen while Xi Xiaye and Dongfang Liuyun sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted.
“You should still eat some. You can eat whatever you want now. Back when I was pregnant with Xiao Cheng, my temper was really bad. I was really bad-tempered and often lost my temper at Mu Yuchen. Fortunately, he tolerated it. I’d lose my temper with him, and he would just pretend that he didn’t see it.”
Xi Xiaye smiled.
Dongfang Liuyun coughed lightly, and her cold face turned a rare shade of crimson as she said calmly, “I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t control myself back then and I told him to get out, don’t be an eyesore to me. I keep thinking that he won’t be of any help even if he stands by the side. I really feel annoyed when I see him. I was quite glad that I didn’t have much of a reaction, but I didn’t expect it to come now. I wasn’t like this before. I’m really good at holding it in. My temper is pretty good,” Dongfang Liuyun explained.
“Some people have bigger emotional reactions when they’re pregnant. I’m one of them. It’s fine. It’ll be better after the baby is born. Do you often go for prenatal checkups?”
Xi Xiaye was concerned.
“We’ll go tomorrow. The wedding is the day after tomorrow. We can relax a little if we look at the situation.”
“That’s good too.”
“I really hope that this child will be a daughter.”
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly touched her lower abdomen, which had a slight movement.
“Why? Do you want a daughter too?”
Xi Xiaye’s eyes flashed with a faint light. She had been thinking about this for two years. Ever since Mu Xiaocheng was born, she felt like giving birth to another daughter. Unfortunately, her health was damaged, so it would probably be very difficult for her to realize this wish.
“I don’t mind. Qi Lei wants a daughter. He said that a daughter should be closer to her father.”
“Mu Yuchen said the same thing, but he doesn’t feel any regrets with the few children we have now.”
Xi Xiaye thought about the children at home. Her expression could not help but turn gentle. “Has the wedding been prepared?”
“I’ve left it all to Qi Lei to arrange. I can’t be bothered to worry about these things. Let them men worry about their own thing.”
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she lowered her head and took a sip of his flower tea. “Let Wei’er and Xiao Rui be flower children. I haven’t seen them for a few days.”
“Qi Lei has brought this up before. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely make them dress beautifully that day.”
