Chapter 1192: Ideal Partner (1)

Dongfang Liuyun’s delicate lashes fluttered, but she did not move much as she continued to quietly flip through the book before her.

Soon, a courteous voice was heard.

“Miss Dongfang, flowers for you. Please sign for it!”

 Flowers?

Raising her brows, Dongfang Liuyun then looked up to see the flower delivery person already walking over.

It was a huge bouquet of brilliantly red roses. Every one of the flowers was in full bloom, practically blocking the view of the delivery person.

Dongfang Liuyun looked at the large bouquet of roses before her in shock. Without even taking it, she squinted at the delivery person and asked calmly, “Who sent it?”

“Miss Dongfang, it’s from Mr. Fujiwara…”

Fujiwara?

A lukewarm smile flashed across Dongfang Liuyun’s lips. She took it and swiftly signed for it, then the young man quickly left De Bao.

Bam!

Almost in the next second, a fiery red arc appeared and flew out the window. Immediately, a cry was heard.

“Argh—”

When she heard the familiar voice, Dongfang Liuyun frowned and got up to look towards the window. She then realized that the person standing outside was—

Qi Lei!

Dressed in a tailored suit, he was holding the bouquet that she had just thrown out. He did not have an umbrella in hand, so the misty drizzle drenched his shoulders.

…

“Why are you here?”

Dongfang Liuyun continued to sit on the rattan chair while she looked up at Qi Lei before her.

Qi Lei shrugged, his handsome face flashing with a smile. He glanced down at the rose bouquet in his arms as he smiled and said, “Wow, you’re quite popular, aren’t you? Which man sent this? Is he broke, sending such tacky flowers?”

Dongfang Liuyun shot him a side look, but she kept quiet.

“Don’t be unhappy now. I’m being honest. Take me for example. If I were to send flowers, I’d only give women roses made of gold!” Qi Lei smiled and said.

“I haven’t gone home for a few months now, so I don’t know anything about my mother. If you’ve come because of Gu Qiwu’s court case, then I’m sorry. I really can’t comment.”

Dongfang Liuyun was an observant person. Obviously, she knew about Gu Qiwu and Doris. In fact, her mother was Gu Qiwu’s lawyer. With the court session happening soon, some people began to be worried as well.

When Qi Lei heard her statement, he raised his brows and grinned. “You’re really smooth. How did you know my intentions?”

“Instead of worrying about other people, you should be worrying about yourself.”

Dongfang Liuyun set her book aside, got up, and walked to the small side table. “Tea or coffee?”

“Pu’er tea. That Pu’er from the last time was pretty good.”

Qi Lei sat down on the chair and picked up the book that she had just put down. He flipped through it as he asked, “Do you know about my matters?”

Even though Dongfang Liuyun was not a large-scale business person like Qi Lei, she still knew some things. When she had gone to the library yesterday, she saw Yang Sheng returning some books for Qi Lei. Yang Sheng had a good impression of Dongfang Liuyun. He hoped that she could be someone Qi Lei fancied and he knew that becoming Missus Qi would not be something one could achieve within a day or two.

So, whenever he bumped into Dongfang Liuyun, he would take the initiative to tell her about Qi Lei’s matters. He would avoid the important things and dwell on the trivial ones. What about Dongfang Liuyun? She was a smart one, so she could immediately decipher what he meant.

“I know a little,” Dongfang Liuyun answered calmly as she steeped the tea.

“I didn’t think that you’d be so competitive in games and always want to beat others, but in real life, you’re quite honest and dutiful. The way you’re doing it, it’s easy for people to take advantage of you unless you’re like me. Learn about archaeology. Dealing with historical relics and dead things is better than fighting with these live people,” Dongfang Liuyun said. Soon, she brought over two cups of tea.

When Qi Lei heard that, his handsome face froze. He hesitated, then he slowly reached out to get the tea. After he carefully took a sip, he responded, “Isn’t it good to know one’s place?”

“It’s good but you’ll be easily taken advantage of. If you were in those dramas with power struggles in the palace, you wouldn’t survive to see the second episode.”

Dongfang Liuyun casually sat down and smiled faintly at him.

“Do I look like such a foolish person to you?”

Qi Lei was not pleased to hear that, and his eyes were filled with unhappiness.

Dongfang Liuyun raised her brows as the curve on her lips widened. She lowered her head to drink some tea, then set aside the cup and slowly got up. She walked to the bookshelf on the side and tidied up the slightly messy books.

“I’ve heard about your esteemed father and mother. I admire your mother’s bravery very much. I had the honor of meeting her once or twice before this. She’s a very responsible woman. You should be grateful to have a mother like her.”

“You knew my mother too?”

Now, Qi Lei was really amazed.

“I didn’t know she was your mother before this. I just suddenly thought of it afterward. She met my mother before, and I just bumped into them, so I do remember her a little. You should look for a good wife like her. Maybe you won’t have to go through such a tough time then…” Dongfang Liuyun suddenly lamented and voiced out her thoughts towards the end of her sharing.

Upon hearing that, Qi Lei laughed out loud and just said, “I’m a whole man. Do I need a woman to put up a front for me?”

Dongfang Liuyun calmly put the book back onto the shelf, as she responded, “It’s not about putting up a front. You’re just not vicious, so you won’t be able to stand your ground. Humans have always found it hard to change.”

Qi Lei examined Dongfang Liuyun for a while and could not help but ask, “I’m not vicious and won’t be able to stand my ground? Miss Dongfang, what does your ideal partner look like?”

“Mine? She looks frigid, and even though she’s really good at games, there’s a hint of apathy from inside her bones, one that can’t be warmed. When you spoke to her, she just feels indifferent.”

He was talking about a woman like Dongfang Liuyun!

No wonder she was called Liuyun like the flowing clouds!

It was too fitting for the person that she was.

When Dongfang Liuyun heard that, she did not even pause what she was doing as she answered calmly, “I’m afraid I really can’t answer you about that, but he definitely doesn’t look like a man like you.”

“Why?”

Qi Lei was even more curious now as his eyes fixed on Dongfang Liuyun. Because of her answer, he found it even more peculiar!

Any man who heard this would feel the same, would he not?

Why?

Dongfang Liuyun then slowly stopped what she was doing…

“Because only those who are strong enough can be with me…”
