Chapter 1633: How Could I Lose It? (2)

The stinging sensation of obstructed breathing!

This was the first time he had experienced such a profound and painstaking experience—

His heart, which was riddled with holes, had just healed a little, but it was soon pierced by this news. The only words he could still see in the bottom of his heart were those words that he could not face—

Serves him right, stupid, getting married, losing..

He once again tasted the pain in his heart, each time getting deeper and deeper.

He raised his head slightly and took a deep breath. With some difficulty, he blinked his slightly hot eyes. His ten fingers were clasped tightly together, propping up his forehead. After a long while, he turned to look out the window.

The air suddenly became somewhat stifled. Dongfang Liuyun did not speak, only silently looked at him.

Lan Xiu did not know how long he had been silent. He only felt that his entire body was numb. He suppressed the bitterness in his throat and turned his head. What greeted him was her eyes that were as indifferent as the wind…

“I didn’t expect for things to turn out this way. I once thought that the person you would marry in the end would be Fujiwara. If it was him, I wouldn’t find it so hard to accept. After all, many people think that you should get together. However, I never thought that it would be Qi Lei? Liuyun, why him? I don’t remember you having such a deep friendship or relationship with him. If you could consider him, why did you…”

“Don’t say anymore, Lan Xiu. If I had really considered too many reasons back then, I’m afraid that Qi Lei wouldn’t be the one I chose today. This is good too. I can start a new life. I hope that everything in the past can end here. We’re still very good friends.”

Without waiting for Lan Xiu to finish, Dongfang Liuyun interrupted him.

“Besides, Qi Lei treats me very well. I’m looking forward to the future at least.”

Lan Xiu looked at Dongfang Liuyun quietly. He could not bear to hear it, and he did not want to hear it either. He took a deep breath and finally got up. He turned around and left…

He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself…

Dongfang Liuyun could only silently watch as Lan Xiu disappeared out the door. She did not try to stop him or go after him.

Western Suburbs, golf course.

Under the umbrella, Dongfang Gan and Qi Lei were laying side by side in the rattan chair.

“Liuyun doesn’t want me to meet you like this, but I still think it’s necessary to talk to you.”

Dongfang Gan turned his gaze to Qi Lei, who had a hand behind his head and was looking at the meadow in front of him.

“I know. She’s very protective of me.” Qi Lei replied calmly. “She’s a good woman, father. I really want to marry her. In this life, she’ll be the first and the last person I want to marry. I’ll treat her well for the rest of my life.”

“Yes, I believe you can do it. Liuyun isn’t an ordinary child. She’s been very sensible since she was young. When other children clamor to go out to play, she’s mostly studying. She always strives to be better. But even so, she doesn’t care if others think highly of her. She’s always been like this. She lives as she pleases, but she’s also very tired.”

Dongfang Gan’s words were profound. Qi Lei turned to look at him, thinking that he would continue. However, Dongfang Gan did not continue. He slowly got up and stood with his hands behind his back.

“You are also a very ambitious person. I hope that handing my daughter over to you like this, all I will see is a fulfilled and happy daughter in the years to come. Although I am very reluctant to part with my only daughter, and I love her too much to part with her, I don’t even want to marry her off. However, I can’t be with her forever. So, you, Qi Lei, must take good care of her. Even if you hurt yourself, you can’t hurt her. Can you do that?”

Dongfang Gan’s tone was a little downcast, and the way he looked at Qi Lei was unusually serious.

Qi Lei stood up and nodded solemnly, “I’ll protect her with my own life.”

Dongfang Gan nodded in relief, “Alright, remember what you said. Go back. It’s late. Don’t worry too much about your mother. I’ll try my best to convince her.”

“Thank you, father.”

…

When they returned home, the sky had darkened.

Dongfang Liuyun had just walked into the living room when she smelled the alluring aroma of food from afar. She changed out of her shoes and walked in. As expected, she saw a few dishes on the dining table, and the bowls and chopsticks were ready.

She pulled out a chair and sat down. She reached for a wet towel and wiped her hands. Without waiting for the busy man in the kitchen, she filled two bowls with soup and began to eat with her chopsticks.

“Just in time. Are you hungry?”

When Qi Lei walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of rice, he saw the woman sitting at the table eating with relish.

Dongfang Liuyun looked up from the bowl, glanced at him, and swallowed the food in her mouth. “I didn’t make it in time for lunch, so I made do with a few snacks. The dishes tonight are quite delicious, but you’ve put in a little too much ginger in the soup.”

“You can ask someone to send some easily digestible food, such as some porridge,” Qi Lei replied and handed one of the bowls of rice to her. He sat down, picked up the soup in front of him, and drank it in a few gulps.

“Let’s talk about it later. I’ve been well taken care of recently. I feel much better. What did you talk to father about today?”

“Let’s go to the hospital for a checkup this weekend.” Qi Lei responded and filled the bowl with soup before continuing, “We didn’t talk about anything. He just wants us to live a good life.”

“That simple?” She narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously.

“How complicated did you think it could be?” Qi Lei did not think much of it.

“Let me tell you something,” Dongfang Liuyun picked up a dish and said.

“Hmm?” Qi Lei did not even lift his eyelids as he continued to drink his soup.

“This afternoon, Lan Xiu came to look for me. He found out about our marriage.”

Dongfang Liuyun paused and opened her mouth to eat a mouthful of food. Qi Lei, who was across from him, was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked up at her, “And then? How did he react? Does he want to kill me?”

Qi Lei was not a fool. It was obvious that Lan Xiu liked Dongfang Liuyun. He just did not know what he was thinking at that time. Since he liked her, he should have went for it, right?

Why did he reject her then?

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun rolled her eyes at him. “How else do you think he’d react? I was thinking that perhaps it would be good for the both of you to find time to meet.”
