1574. Chapter 1574 Something Is Happening (Part 3)
After a dreamless night and feeling uncomfortable, Dongfang Liuyun slept a little more lightly than before, so he woke up early in the morning, changed into gray casual clothes, and went downstairs directly after washing up. Wang Ma and the others have just gotten up.
They and the servants lived in a small bungalow next to the villa. Qi Lei didn't like having people waiting on him at home, so the housekeeper made special arrangements.
However, when he came down, he happened to see Wang Ma preparing to make breakfast. Dongfang Liuyun told her that he would come, and Wang Ma also left the kitchen with a smile.
When Qi Lei woke up, the woman beside him was naturally gone. He quickly got up to wash up and put on clean casual clothes, and then walked downstairs leisurely.
"Good morning!"
Dongfang Liuyun, who was preparing breakfast and pouring juice into the cup, didn't look back when he heard the movement on the stairs, but spoke directly.
"Why do you get up so early? Just leave these things to Wang Ma."
Qi Lei walked down the stairs and walked over in a few strides. He took the juice from her hand and took a deep look at her. He saw that her face was no longer as pale as last night and was as calm and indifferent as ever. , and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I went out to buy groceries. I heard in the front yard just now that students are on summer vacation. Mother Wang's grandson is in the country. She's on vacation now. Why not let her go back to visit. Anyway, we don't need anyone at home. It would be nice to come back after the summer vacation.”
Dongfang Liuyun turned his head, looked at him with starry eyes, and said.
His eyes calmed for a moment and he nodded happily, "It's up to you. I'll tell the housekeeper later."
As he spoke, he also sat down.
"Remember to give her some rewards. I heard that she has been with your mother for a long time."
Dongfang Liuyun poured him another glass of juice and then sat down opposite him.
"You know how to be considerate of them?"
As if he noticed something, he raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at her sideways.
"Have you noticed? I think friendship is mutual when people get along with each other. Not to mention that I will have to live with you for many years in the future. I will not fail to do the benefits that I can get with just a little effort."
Dongfang Liuyun didn't hide his thoughts at all, but he answered very calmly. As he spoke, he handed Qi Lei the half bowl of millet porridge he had just filled.
Qi Lei naturally took it very rudely, looked down at the porridge in the bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and said without looking at her, "It's good. I've polished myself into a businessman's mind and face." , but I strongly agree with what you said.”
"You mean, I'm fit to be a shameless businessman like you?"
"No, you are only suitable to be an inscrutable and top-notch businessman. It's people like me who should be talking shamelessly."
Facing the scrutinizing look she cast, Qi Lei answered without hesitation. She glanced sideways at him, curved the corner of her mouth, and then lowered her head to enjoy her breakfast.
"What are you going to do today?"
When he was about to end, he suddenly raised his head and looked at her and asked.
Dongfang Liuyun didn't pause for a moment, but replied calmly, "Tomorrow is a big day, so I have to prepare some gifts."
"Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rouer's engagement party?"
Qi Lei's mind quickly flashed through the red invitation she had read last night.
"Well, of course. I have to go back and take a look."
"Things at home seem to be really worrying you."
Qi Lei seemed to be deeply moved, but he glanced at her meaningfully.
At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment, and after a moment, she smiled, "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, otherwise what do you think? Especially for a big family like ours, but... I’ve been living like this since I was a kid, so I’m used to it. Anyway, I’ll give you a rough overview of the relationship between the Dongfang family and send it to your computer tonight.”
Qi Lei nodded, hesitated, and said, "There is almost nothing going on in my family. You know it all, except..."
Later, I wanted to say something else, but now that I think about it, it seems that there is no need for that. After a pause, I didn't continue talking. Dongfang Liuyun also raised his eyes and looked at him, thinking about it for a moment. , replied, "I can generally understand your situation. In fact, you are living a very quiet life now. Marrying me may not be a good choice for you. It is undeniable that your conditions are enough to challenge Met a lot of nice women.”
"So, just think you've earned it."
Qi Lei smiled, stretched out his hand to pull a piece of paper on the side, wiped his mouth gracefully, and looked at her with a deep look, "Besides, I am not a woman who should have tasted the taste. I’ve tasted them all, and if it’s you, I wouldn’t mind working a little harder, because…”
"Because we were partners and allies before, and I know you don't love me either. I don't know that we are forcefully getting together like this now. It has nothing to do with love, and I don't know if it is right. But, some Things always need to be practiced, so since we have chosen, we can only take a gamble. "
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath, and suddenly picked up the cup. His eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he continued, "Don't worry, I am not a hypocritical woman. Since I dare to marry you, I have made all preparations in my heart. If you don't blindly pursue something love, I think I will be very suitable for you."
She raised the cup in her hand and toasted him.
However, hearing her say this, Qi Lei was a little surprised, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her became a little unfathomable-
If you don't blindly pursue something love?
Then, if...
"What if I really pursue love? Can't you give it to me?"
He thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, his eyes were also tightly locked on her pair of faint starry eyes, not wanting to miss a trace of changing emotions in her eyes.
Dongfang Liuyun was stunned when he asked this question. He was silent for a long time before he put down the cup in his hand and lowered his eyes silently. After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at him with frankness in his eyes, "Because I don't know if I still have this thing. I feel that if I can't even give it to myself, how can I give it to others?"
"Besides, we... are allies, a husband-and-wife relationship of comrades-in-arms, which is actually a good choice, but it's a bit unfair to you."
