Chapter 1548: Thank You (3)

He was planning on having an idle day, but Yang Sheng had called him first thing in the morning to remind him about the contract signing. Since he could not delay it, he gave up on any idea of rest.

He actually thought it felt quite surreal. In the blink of an eye, he was married.

However, when he thought about the person he was going to spend his life with, something in him shifted and he could not quite tell if it was bewilderment of excitement. He just knew that it felt quite good.

He did not get to have lunch. After work was done, Qi Lei drove back to the Grand Lake Villa area.

While it was lunch rush hour at this moment, the sun was quite ferocious outside and the air was stifling hot. Only the occasional gust of wind could bring a hint of cool.

Inside the Grand Lake Villa area, Dongfang Liuyun was leisurely lying on the sofa by the window with a book in her hand. She was casually flipping through it. On the table by the side, there was a cup of steaming freshly brewed tea.

She woke up quite late, so it was almost noon after she had breakfast. She was planning to return to her place at the Beach Villa District, but then she remembered that she did not have her own car. Qi Lei did have many cars in his garage and they were all good cars. From the looks of it, this fellow should be a car lover. Given his number plate alone, you could see that he was quite a show-off.

She wanted to call him to inform him, but when she thought about what he wrote on the note, she decided against it.

She was a very rational person. While Qi Lei was quite accommodating toward her, she was clear that she should also reciprocate with an equal level of respect. Perhaps, they should find a chance to sit down and properly communicate, not for anything else but for their life together ahead.

Dongfang Liuyun was an efficient person. Of course, many times, her efficiency came from her being good at planning. Whenever there was a problem, she would resolve it or just turn over a new leaf.

At this stage, if she were to continue life with Qi Lei, sitting down to talk about it would be very important as it was about their life from hereon. Dongfang Liuyun hated inconvenience. Many times, having two people sit down to talk about things could avoid unnecessary trouble or jealousy.

…

When Qi Lei walked into the living room, he surveyed his surroundings subconsciously and soon caught that little figure on the sofa.

He thought about it, then leisurely unbuttoned his sleeves and walked over.

At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun was lying on the sofa and the opened book was covering her face.

It was a book about architecture. Qi Lei obviously recognized that it was a book he had been looking through quite often recently, and he remembered that he kept it on the table by the sofa.

Her breathing was even. She had probably fallen asleep while reading. When Qi Lei walked closer, she did not quite react, but by the looks of her poster, she seemed to be at ease without any awkwardness.

Could it be because they were quite familiar with each other?

He did not feel awkward around her either. Everything had felt so natural. Even though everyone practically recognized Swift Snowy as Eastern Gust’s wife in the game, they were now not in a game after all. This was reality.

Qi Lei looked down at her for quite a while. He hesitated for a moment, then finally lifted a hand to pick up the book on her face, but her slightly cold hand was one step ahead of him. She took the book and slowly opened up her eyes. When she saw that he had suddenly appeared, she propped herself up to sit.

“You’re back?”

Qi Lei nodded as he pulled his hand back and casually rolled up his sleeves. “Did you not have lunch? Have you had your meds?”

His concerned tone sounded quite natural.

“It’s fine. I woke up quite late, so I’m not very hungry either,” Dongfang Liuyun replied calmly and poured him a cup of tea to hand to him. “I just took the tea leaves from your tea cupboard. This season is quite suitable for drinking some green tea, and it tastes pretty good.”

“I asked someone to get these tea leaves gathered at spring from its place of origin. You sure know your stuff.”

His lips flashed a smile and he did not reject her as he reached out for it. He lowered his head to take a sip and then sat down on the sofa beside her. “I thought that you’d be missing when I got back, so I’m feeling a little lucky.”

“You’ve known me for quite a while. Even though you don’t know me very well, I think you roughly know the kind of person that I am. Apart from the so-called feelings as a foundation, we are considered two people who’ve known each other for quite a while. Were you worried that I’d scam you?”

When Dongfang Liuyun said this, her brows raised slightly too, and then she looked at Qi Lei in amusement.

Qi Lei’s eyes shifted from the teacup and looked silently towards her. He fell silent for a moment then said, “Yes, compared to many others who have lightning weddings, we don’t seem to quite fit the term. After all, we’ve known each other for more than a month or two. That’s why I dared to ask you. You’re great. I’m worried that if I missed this chance, I wouldn’t have another, so…”

So, he decided to just marry her first and work it out later. Someone like him might not have the mood to handle women, so Dongfang Liuyun was a very good choice for him. They were similar in many values and interests, and they had each other for games too.

She was similar in game and in reality, and he admired all that she was. Of course, he would not say all these things to Dongfang Liuyun though.

“You’re pretty good with words. I took a look at some information on you. I know that you’re a top student in a famous school abroad in architecture. You’ve been overachieving since you were young, and you don’t have a good relationship with your family. You didn’t return home right away after graduation. Instead, you started your own company with friends abroad. You’re one of the larger shareholders. All these years, your scandals were endless. You’re quite a famous player in the upper-class society circle, so you don’t have a great reputation.”

Dongfang Liuyun looked at him calmly as she put a bookmark from the side into the book before closing it.

Upon hearing that, a devilish light flashed in his eyes as he silently looked at her before he chuckled and said, “Have you been paying that much attention to me? You wouldn’t have been thinking about me for a long time, have you? Since I asked, did you decide to seize the opportunity, and are you secretly happy that the heavens helped you?”

When he said that, a faint smile flashed on Dongfang Liuyun’s gently pursed lips. Her calm tone had a rare tone of happiness to it. “Your information is no secret. You’re famous in the circle.”

“But all those aren’t true. I, Qi Lei, am definitely a man of honor and a good person. I’d never be so unprincipled as to go around womanizing…”
