Chapter 1100: Grand Wedding! (3)

The day went by quickly, and night soon arrived.

Inside Qi Lei’s private villa in the Grand Lake Villa area, Qi Lei closed his notebook while he had a bad feeling about what was going to happen.

He looked through the messages from Li Si. They were all about Mu Zi and Qi Qiming…

It looked like his mother, Wang Qin, had once suspected that Qi Qiming and Mu Zi had a past, or that they were hiding something. Could she have thought Lingtian and Mu Lingshi were Qi Qiming and Mu Zi’s children?

Qi Lei suddenly felt bitter. Wang Qin had done everything she could to keep Qi Qiming in check, yet he had still disappointed her in the end.

After everything that he had gone through, only he knew what he cared about the most right now.

…

He felt extremely irritable and decided to go out, so he grabbed his coat and put it over his shoulders. He took his car keys and then headed out.

Qi Lei drove along the busy night street and soon arrived at De Feng Avenue.

It was a quiet place. Somehow, he had driven there and remembered that Dongfang Liuyun’s shop was just around the corner, but he did not head over as he thought she had probably gone back home already. He then decided to go to the hawker center they went to the last time.

Business was brisk as usual. Qi Lei could smell the grilled fish and barbeque the moment he got out of his car along with the sound of chatter.

Qi Lei locked his car and walked over. He found an empty table and sat down.

“Hmm? Aren’t you Ms. Dongfang’s friend?”

The owner recognized Qi Lei. After all, he was pretty handsome and had a different air around him, so he instantly recognized him.

Qi Lei remembered that the owner’s surname was Wei. While he did not sound like a local, he was warm and nice.

“Hello, Boss Wei! Give me a grilled fish, one fried noodles, and two dishes to go along with some alcohol. Get me a dozen ice beers.” Qi Lei smiled and gave his order.

“Sure, coming right up!”

The owner soon brought the beer over.

Qi Lei grabbed a glass and filled it up. He felt much better after several drinks.

It was the weekend, and many people had gathered around and having lively conversations. However, happiness belonged to them, not him.

Qi Lei shot the people around him an envious glance. They should be students from a nearby university. School break was not over yet, and there was another two weeks before it reopened. Most of these students stayed on campus and worked part-time.

As the students were chatting, Qi Lei listened closely and somehow lost his senses. He did not even realize the beer was overflowing from his glass as he continued to pour into it.

At that moment, he caught the scent of a familiar smell. Suddenly, his bottle of beer was snatched away as a voice reached his ears.

“Owner, give me another bowl and a pair of chopsticks.”

Qi Lei quickly looked over and saw Dongfang Liuyun sitting down across him. Surprised, he put on a smile. “Why are you here?”

Dongfang Liuyun took a swig directly from the bottle before looking at him. “I should be the one asking you. Why are you here?”

The owner quickly gave her a bowl and chopsticks before she started enjoying the food. It felt like they were really close friends.

“I was just bored and wanted to go somewhere. Somehow, I ended up here.”

Qi Lei got her a glass and filled it up with beer for her.

“You obviously look like you have a lot on your mind. You’re still young, so why are you so troubled? You’re going to get old faster this way.”

Dongfang Liuyun swallowed her food and looked at him. She then glanced over at the group of students Qi Lei had been watching moments ago. “They are from the polytechnic college nearby. Many students stay on campus rather than go home during the break. Some work part-time around here, and some go on adventures.”

As Dongfang Liuyun was reminded of her own past, she emptied the full glass of beer Qi Lei had just served her.

He suddenly gained interest when he heard her words. “Have you worked part-time before?”

“Of course! My family stopped providing for me after I started university, so I had to earn my school fees and living expenses. My mother is a very strict woman who wanted me to become as independent as her. At times, my father would take pity on me and hand me some money although he would get punished if she found out!”

Dongfang Liuyun seemed to be in a good mood today. Despite sounding a little annoyed, she was also glad about what her mother did, and she had a smile on her face.

“Is your father her slave?”

Punishment?

Qi Lei thought it would only happen in dramas. It was not usual in real life, was it?

“What’s so weird about that? My father is much older than my mother. He’s over 60 and my mother is only around 50 years old. Well, it’s not really a secret, I guess.”

Qi Lei then realized that the Dongfang couple were pretty low-profile, but it was no secret that Mr. Dongfang obeyed everything his wife said. It had all shown up in Yang Sheng’s investigation report.

“Your parents are everyone’s role models,” Qi Lei said with a chuckle.
