The special diet was something that Mu Yuchen had asked the doctor to prescribe so that Xi Xiaye could restore her health.
Since Xi Xiaye gave birth to Mu Xiaocheng prematurely, her body suffered a lot of physical trauma after that, and the chances of getting pregnant were very slim. In fact, Xi Xiaye had vaguely noticed that deep down, even though Mu Yuchen was okay with it, she had always wanted a daughter, so she had been worrying about that.
In desperation, Mu Yuchen could only ask an experienced doctor to prescribe a special diet for her to restore her health. Her complexion was much better recently, and she was not as thin as before. She used to be so frail that it seemed like she could get blown away by the wind, but now, she had gained a little bit of weight.
“I’ve been drinking these for more than a month now. Why isn’t there any news yet? I just had my period a few days ago…Do you think we really aren’t destined to have a daughter?” Xi Xiaye frowned.
“What nonsense are you talking about? How could it happen so soon? You have two sons and one daughter now. What else are you unsatisfied with? Let’s go with the flow. Mu Xiaocheng is already your greatest achievement, so don’t be discontented.” He did not know how else to comfort her.
“Well, forget it. I can only resign to my fate. I’m already more fortunate than most people.”
“It’s best to think so. If we get a son again, we’ll see what you do.”
“Well…”
“No room for discussion. This is my biggest compromise.”
It was already late at night, and the people walking around the plaza gradually left. The plaza seemed a little lonely, but the lights were very bright. The midnight wind was not as hot as in the day, and it felt much more refreshing.
On a bench under the street light by the plaza, Dongfang Liuyun was sitting steadily as she looked at the thick stack of documents in her hand attentively. While reading through it, she held a black signing pen in her hand and was marking something on the document.
She did not know how long she had been there until she felt that her neck had gone stiff and numb. She took a breath and raised her head carefully while squeezing the back of her neck and massaging her shoulders. Finally, she closed the document in her hand and was about to leave, but just as she was about to raise her head and stand up, a bottle of water was handed right in front of her.
She stopped in surprise and raised her gaze subconsciously to see Qi Lei standing in front of her.
“It’s so late already. Why did you come?” Dongfang Liuyun was a little surprised though she did not refuse the water in Qi Lei’s hand. She said softly, “Thank you”, then took a few sips.
“I just happened to go to Mu Yuchen’s place for a small get-together, so I came here on the way back. You’re still hustling at this hour,” Qi Lei said in a deep voice as he looked at the file on her lap condescendingly.
Dongfang Liuyun also glanced down at the file on her lap and smiled. “Just like you, you can’t just sit still and be idle. Since you’re in a good mood today, let’s just play a few rounds,” she said and kept the documents in her hand into the black backpack beside her before standing up.
Qi Lei glanced at the mobile phone in his hand to look at the time. It was already midnight. He glanced at Dongfang Liuyun and smiled. “I’m interested, but maybe not today since it’s already midnight. You should go back early and get some rest. It’s bad for your health if you stay up late so often, especially since you’ve returned this time, your complexion seems worse than before.”

Dongfang Liuyun was taken aback. She pulled the backpack on her shoulders and glared at him. “We can do it some other time then.”
“Is there something on your mind?” Qi Lei asked as he seemed to be aware that she was acting a little different than usual.
Dongfang Liuyun thought about it for a moment and calmly replied, “It’s nothing. The comfortable life I’ve had is now suddenly controlled, so it’s just a little uncomfortable. Since you’re here, come take a walk with me.”
She had already walked forward as she said that. Her slender figure passed through the dim light, actually seeming scrawny and lonely. The evening breeze kept blowing and her hair was a little messy.
Qi Lei hesitated for a moment, then took off his coat and followed her before slowly draping it over her shoulders. Dongfang Liuyun paused and turned her head to look at the draped coat on her shoulders. She seemed confused as she raised her gaze and looked at him quietly.
“Put it on. It’s a bit cold now.” He put one hand into the pocket of his pants and went on.
“Thank you.”
When she saw his figure walk past her, only then did she stop refusing and pulled the coat tighter before following behind him.
“Actually, I don’t really like this city,” Dongfang Liuyun said as she looked at the lights that were still brilliant in front of her. There seemed to be a little sadness in her voice.
“Is it because it left you with bad memories?” Qi Lei asked.
“I actually don’t have much impression of this city. When I was young, I grew up in the countryside. I was brought here after I was five years old, and I studied under so much pressure. My mother always wanted me to be able to become someone capable like her, but I just want to be an ordinary person. I didn’t like the life I had to live, so naturally, I also didn’t really like this city.”
Dongfang Liuyun was never someone who easily confided her thoughts. She always kept her thoughts to herself, and when she talked about it today, she found it amusing too.
“Just don’t be cynical. Your mentality is much better than mine. I didn’t know this before, but after all that I’ve been through, I suddenly realize that this is probably what life’s like, and it’s a blessing to be able to live an ordinary life.”
Qi Lei smiled and suddenly looked at her while his black eyes flickered. “What do you think?”
“I just want to be ordinary, but there’s only so much I can do. From the very beginning, I have to understand that my future was already laid out, and it doesn’t matter if I want it or not.” Dongfang Liuyun paused for a while, and then continued, “That’s why I really understand what you went through.”
“It’s all in the past, and we can only look forward. Do you plan to take over the Dongfang Group?” Qi Lei asked with concern as he could tell the pressure she was feeling from her words.
“I’m still learning about the company and I plan to start with the marketing department.”
“You really have perseverance. It’s not easy to work in the marketing department. You’re a woman and you have to think about it thoroughly.”
As the leader of a large company himself, he certainly knew about the difficulty of each job.
“This is how I can have an actual understanding of the company’s operations. I can learn about internal matters later on.”
