Chapter 1617: Can Only Be A Regret (1)

Dongfang Liuyun naturally would not tell him Dongfang Gan’s exact words. However, Qi Lei was not a fool either. When he heard her say this, he immediately turned his gaze away and narrowed his eyes at her with a faint smile. He coughed lightly and lowered his voice, he asked—

“Your father must be very dissatisfied with me, right?”

“How satisfied do you expect him to be with you then?”

Dongfang Liuyun met his deep gaze with disapproval.

Qi Lei’s movements paused for a moment. He raised his handsome eyebrows and nodded, “That seems to be the case. If it were me, I wouldn’t be happy either. I’d raised my daughter for nothing. In the end, I benefited for nothing?”

As he spoke, he could not help but chuckle again. That look made Dongfang Liuyun frown. After thinking for a while, she could not help but say, “Of course. In my father’s eyes, you and I are akin to a cabbage being twiddled by a pig[1].”

“Pfft!”

After these words were said, Qi Lei almost spat out his rice. He coughed violently for a while before looking at her, “A cabbage twiddled by a pig? It doesn’t matter if you’re a cabbage. You have a good image. But I can’t be a pig, have you ever seen pigs as handsome as me? To father-in-law, all the men who marry you are pigs who twiddled his cabbage. I won’t say anything about that.”

“I’ve seen many handsome men. You’re definitely not the most outstanding one. Take back your sense of superiority. The day after tomorrow afternoon, father will ask you to play a few rounds at the western suburbs golf course. I’ve already agreed on your behalf. You can also have a good talk with him yourself.”

“Afternoon the day after tomorrow?”

Qi Lei thought about it for a moment before glancing at Dongfang Liuyun with a smile, “Thank you, Mrs. Qi, for helping me maintain a good image in front of my father-in-law.”

“It’s good that you know. I’ll go up first. Come up after you’ve tidied up. It’s a mess!”

She got up and took her backpack upstairs.

“There’s soup in the pot. Aren’t you going to drink it?” Qi Lei stared at her back and asked.

“What soup?”

“White fungus and red dates…”

“Bring them up to me later. I still have some documents to read.”

Dongfang Liuyun left this sentence and went upstairs.

Seeing her figure disappear at the stairs, Qi Lei retracted his gaze and continued eating his food. He took the remote control with one hand to change the channel.

In the room, once Dongfang Liuyun returned to the bedroom, she immediately went to take a shower. When she was done with her work, Qi Lei had not come up yet. Thinking of the documents that she had not finished reading in the afternoon, she could only continue to work through them.

When Qi Lei walked into the study with a big bowl of soup, Dongfang Liuyun was sitting in front of the desk, flipping through the documents. She held a pen in her hand and occasionally wrote something on the documents.

Dongfang Liuyun had already sensed him with the faint fragrance on him, so she stopped what she was doing and looked over.

Qi Lei placed the tray on the table. She did not stand on ceremony and picked it up. After taking two sips, she complimented him generously, “It tastes good. The heat control is not bad either.”

“Finish it then.”

After he said these words, he reached out and pulled a napkin from the side. He wiped his hands and glanced at the documents in front of her. It was some information from the Marketing Department.

“You really plan to start from the Marketing Department?” He frowned and asked.

“What else do you think we can do? It could also be the Commerce Department, but obviously this is more suitable, so I don’t mind being a little tired.”

Dongfang Liuyun stopped what she was doing and followed his gaze.

“When you go all out, you really should be called a super female warrior.”

“Female warrior? I’ll take it as a compliment.”

She took a few more sips and swallowed the food in her mouth. Then, she continued, “Has Dongfang Ren not visited you recently?”

“Why? Are you going to be a corporate spy?” He glanced at her with interest.

“Do you think I have the potential to be a corporate spy?”

As she said this, the bowl of soup was emptied. “I’ve put aside the bath water for you. Take a bath. And you can help me with this too.”

Dongfang Liuyun moved the empty bowl in front of him as she took the napkin and wiped her mouth.

Qi Lei narrowed his eyes at her and looked at the bowl she put over. After a while, he said, “Remember to take your medicine. Turn off the lights and rest before 11.”

As he said that, he packed his things and left.

…

There was a thunderstorm. It would be like this for the next few days. Yesterday afternoon’s weather was already unusually hot.

Boom—

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the sharp sound of thunder that broke the silence of the night.

Just as Qi Lei was in a deep sleep, he was awakened by the sudden lightning. He opened his eyes subconsciously and suddenly realized that someone was holding onto his waist tightly. He looked into his embrace with the help of the dim wall lamp, soon, he saw the woman who was frowning and curling up close to him. Clearly, she was also awakened by the lightning.

Her messy hair draped over her shoulders. It was rare to see that there was still some undisguised fear in her eyes. She did not seem to expect him to suddenly wake up. At this moment, she looked a little dazed.

“What’s wrong? Don’t be afraid, Don’t be afraid…”

His heart softened. He quickly pulled her into his arms and comforted her, “There have been frequent thunderstorms these past few days. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

She wrapped her arms around his waist and took a deep breath, “I’m fine. I was just suddenly woken up. I was scared for a moment.”

Qi Lei listened and then reached out to turn on the bedside lamp. The bedroom was instantly lit up. He propped himself up to sit. His fingertips could feel that the back of her nightgown was slightly soaked.

Dongfang Liuyun was surprised by his action. She sat up as well and looked at him with a slightly dazed gaze.

“Change your clothes. I’ll get you a glass of water.”

With that, he lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

Dongfang Liuyun raised her hand to wipe away her cold sweat and nodded. In a blink of an eye, he had already brought her a robe and went out to get her water.

When he returned to the bedroom, Dongfang Liuyun had already changed out of her soaked clothes. She was sitting by the French window, watching the swaying wind and rain outside. The heavy curtains that hung down were also half opened.

The temperature in the bedroom was still okay.

“Drink a glass of water. Were you very scared?” He handed her a glass of water and smiled.

She quickly took it, glanced at him, and drank two mouthfuls before saying, “It’s too sudden. It’s still okay at home. If you were outside at this time, I’m sure you’d be scared too. What time is it now?”

“It’s past four in the morning, almost five. I can sleep for another two hours,” he replied.

“I’m not sleeping anymore. Play chess with me.”

“Chess?”

Qi Lei looked at her in surprise, while she had already stood up, “I’ll go make a pot of tea.”

Qi Lei looked at her in a daze. However, seeing that she was in such a rare mood for it, he was naturally happy to accompany her.
