1569. Chapter 1569 Missed (Part 3)

The light eyes with a hint of unexpected scrutiny stopped on Lan Xiu's handsome face. Such sharp and clear eyes seemed to be able to see into the deepest part of his heart, which made him feel a little at a loss. He had to turn his head and look out the window.

"It's rare to see you send flowers."

Dongfang Liuyun said this, and then took it generously, looked down, and said, "But thank you."

"As long as you like it."

Lan Xiu quickly responded and gave Ali a wink in front of him. Ali asked the driver to drive. Soon, the car slowly left the distance and drove forward.

However, at this time, behind their car——

Qi Lei stopped the car steadily, looking at the car in front of him going away, his dark eyebrows slightly frowned.

Lan Xiu?

He certainly wasn't wrong just now, Lan Xiu came to pick up Dongfang Liuyun in person...

He thought silently for a long time, and his black eyes could only pass through a gloom that he couldn't even detect. He took a deep breath, brushed his scalp with his five fingers, and had to start the car and drive forward. He took the mobile phone beside him with one hand, checked it, and didn't see any information on it, so he threw it on the passenger seat beside him.

And, at this time, in Lan Xiu's car.

Lan Xiu turned his head and looked at Dongfang Liuyun who was looking at his mobile phone, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The mobile phone has no signal, forget it, let's go back and talk it over."

Dongfang Liuyun had to give up and put the phone away.

"Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rouer's engagement ceremony is in these two days, what are your plans?"

Lan Xiu asked, looking at her meaningfully.

"Did they send you an invitation?"

As sharp as Dongfang Liuyun was, he naturally captured the key information quickly.

Hearing this, Lan Xiu smiled and glanced at her, "Your insight is still as terrifying as ever, take a look for yourself."

Lan Xiu said, and quickly reached out to Ali in front of him, and Ali quickly handed over a fiery red invitation.

Lan Xiu took it, flipped through it casually, and then handed it to Dongfang Liuyun beside him.

Dongfang Liuyun simply narrowed his eyes and did not take it, but lowered his eyes indifferently, "They played this card very well. I am so passive now because of this. But do they think I will just give in?"

"You should try to avoid their sharp edge. After all, you have just started. Only by being careful can you sail a thousand-year ship."

Lan Xiu looked at Dongfang Liuyun with some worry.

Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything, but turned his head silently and looked at the street scene outside.

Lan Xiu looked at her sideways, and seeing that she was silent, he stopped making a sound to disturb her, and the car suddenly became quiet.

When rushing to the Champs-Elysees Restaurant, it was just the rush hour, so the streets were naturally a bit congested.

Lan Xiu stopped by the company to get some documents before rushing over.

When they ordered the dishes, the sky outside had already quieted down, and it was time for the lights to come on again.

Lan Xiu poured tea for Dongfang Liuyun across from him, and said with concern, "I know you are not suitable for drinking recently, so I didn't order you. Drink some stomach-warming tea. When I celebrated my birthday last year, I happened to be abroad, and you were not there. It was a pity."

"This is not the first time. In our situation, we are mostly apart from each other, but now we are back here, and there should be many opportunities in the future."

Dongfang Liuyun tapped his fingertips lightly to express his gratitude, then took the tea, took a sip nonchalantly, and said lightly.

"I apologize to you for the unpleasantness last time. Maybe I was too serious. If..."

"I can understand your thoughts, so you don't have to apologize. You are right! It's better for us to be friends. You have been my playmate since childhood, a close friend, and a confidant. This will never change. So, I feel that I have always been so lucky."

Dongfang Liuyun didn't wait for Lan Xiu to finish his words, and then interrupted him and offered him tea.

However, Dongfang Liuyun naturally didn't know that her words made Lan Xiu's eyes darken, and there was some unspeakable pain in his heart, but he could only offer her tea and smile, "It's good that you can think so."

However, how can he say it? In fact, he...

He was a little hesitant, afraid that he could not give her the happiness she wanted, and in the end, he could only watch her sad. He couldn't let such a thing happen to her. He thought that if it could go on like this, there would be nothing bad. At least, in her heart, there was a place for him, Lan Xiu.

"I have always noticed your concern. I was not thoughtful enough before. I am afraid that I will be trapped in the Dongfang family's affairs, so I naturally don't want you to get involved. Moreover, if I think from your perspective, I can understand."

Dongfang Liuyun sighed lightly, his expression was still calm and indifferent, but Lan Xiu felt a bit of unbearable depression in his heart.

"I just don't want to lose my bottom line in the end, so I want to do my best to protect it. You know me, once it comes to the word "interest", I am also worried that I... Some things can't be avoided by not wanting to fight or rob. After so many years of wandering, you and I should know more about what it means to be helpless."

"Liuyun... don't put too much pressure on yourself. No matter what, I will always stand behind you. Just like you always stood behind me, you are not only my best friend, but also my benefactor..."

Lan Xiu's eyes were filled with deep feelings that were difficult to read, and he looked at Dongfang Liuyun without blinking.

However, at this time, Dongfang Liuyun silently lowered his head and took food. He did not see the emotions in his eyes, and responded calmly, "It's a serious word to say that I am a benefactor. Just think of us as playmates. Otherwise, for Lan Qi's sake, I should also help you with all my strength. Fortunately, you have not let everyone down. You have survived until now, and you have made it."

"No, you are my lucky star, there is no doubt about that."

"In that case, then treat me like a Buddha in the future. You know, I like to push for more."

"Of course, the Lan family's industry has always been open to you."

Lan Xiu smiled dotingly.

Dongfang Liuyun also smiled happily, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Are you allowed to bring your family along to enjoy it?"

When this was said, Lan Xiu paused for a moment, thinking that she was referring to Dongfang Qian and Song Siting, and then smiled and said, "Of course!"
