1617. Chapter 1617 It Can only Be a Pity (I)

Naturally, Dongfang Liuyun would not directly tell him what Dongfang did. However, Qi Lei was not such a simple person. After hearing what she said, he immediately turned his eyes away and squinted with a half-smile. She coughed slightly, lowered her voice, and asked——

"Your father must be very dissatisfied with me, right?"

"Then how satisfied do you expect him to be with you?"

Dongfang Liuyun met his deep gaze with disapproval.

Qi Lei paused for a moment, raised his handsome eyebrows, and nodded, "It seems the same. If it were me, I wouldn't be happy. I raised such a big daughter in vain. In the future, it won't be in vain." I?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but chuckle again. The look made Dongfang Liuyun frown. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but said, "That's natural. In my dad's eyes, you and I are just cabbages." The pig was humiliated."

"puff!"

After saying these words, Qi Lei almost stopped spitting out his rice. He coughed violently for a while and then looked at her, "A cabbage was humiliated by a pig? It doesn't matter if you are a cabbage. It's quite impressive. I can't be a pig either. You see." Have you ever seen a handsome pig like me? In the eyes of my father-in-law, all the men who marry you are pigs who take advantage of cabbage. I will not make any comments on this point."

"I've seen a lot of handsome men, and you're definitely not the most outstanding one. Put aside your sense of superiority. Dad invites you to play a few rounds at the Western Suburbs Golf Course the day after tomorrow. I've already agreed on your behalf. Besides, you can Let’s talk to him again.”

"The afternoon after tomorrow?"

Qi Lei thought for a moment, then glanced at Dongfang Liuyun with a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Qi, for your hard work in helping me maintain a good image in front of my father-in-law."

"It's good to know. I'll go up first and pack my things before I come back up. It's a mess!"

She got up and took her backpack upstairs.

"There's soup in the pot, don't you drink it?"

Qi Lei asked, staring at her back.

"What soup?"

"Tremella fungus and red dates..."

"Bring it to me later. I still have some documents to look at."

Dongfang Liuyun left these words and went upstairs.

Seeing her figure disappear at the top of the stairs, Qi Lei averted his gaze, continued to eat his food, and took the remote control to adjust the channel with one hand.

In the room, Dongfang Liuyun went straight to take a shower as soon as she returned to the bedroom. When she came out after finishing her work, Qi Lei had not come up yet. Thinking of the information that she had not finished reading in the afternoon, she could only continue to fight.

When Qi Lei walked into the study with a large bowl of soup, Dongfang Liuyun was sitting at the desk, flipping through the documents, holding a pen in his hand, and marking something on the documents from time to time.

When the light fragrance hit, Dongfang Liuyun was already aware of it, so he stopped what he was doing and looked over.

Qi Lei put the tray on the table, and she picked it up politely, took two sips, and praised it generously, "It tastes good, and the heat is okay."

"Then drink it."

After finishing these words, he reached for the paper towel on the side, wiped his hands, and glanced at the documents in front of her. They were some information from the marketing department.

"Are you really planning to start with the marketing department?"

he asked, frowning.

"Otherwise, what else do you think you can do? Otherwise, it's the Ministry of Commerce, but obviously this one is more suitable, and I don't mind being a little tired."

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

"When you work hard, I really have to call you Super Female Warrior."

"Female warrior? Just take this as a compliment to me."

She said, took a few more sips, swallowed the food in her mouth, and continued, "Didn't Dongfang Ren come to see you recently?"

"What, are you going to be a commercial espionage?"

He glanced at her with interest.

"Then do you think I have the potential to be a commercial espionage?"

As she said this, a large bowl of soup went to the bottom, "I'll put the bath water for you by the way, wash it off, and you can also help me with this."

Dongfang Liuyun moved the empty bowl in front of him, took the dinner paper and wiped his mouth.

Qi Lei narrowed his eyes at her, then looked at the bowl she put over, and after a while he said, "Remember to take your medicine, and turn off the lights and rest before eleven o'clock."

After saying that, he packed up his things and went out.

…

It's a thunderstorm, and it will be like this for the past few days. The weather was already extremely hot yesterday afternoon.

‘Boom! ’

A quick flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by the sharp sound of thunder, breaking the silence of the night.

When Qi Lei was falling into a deep sleep, he was also awakened by the sudden thunder and lightning. He opened his eyes subconsciously and suddenly realized that someone was holding his waist tightly and leaning into his arms. He spoke through the dim wall lamp. Look, I soon saw the woman shrinking back with a frown. Apparently, she was also awakened by the thunder and lightning.

Her messy hair was draped over her shoulders. It was rare to find that there was still some panic in her starry eyes that she had not yet had time to conceal. It seemed that she did not expect that he would wake up suddenly. At this moment, the whole person looked a little... misty.

"What's wrong? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

His heart softened, and he quickly hugged her into his arms and comforted her, "Thunderstorms have been frequent these days, don't worry, it's okay."

She actually put her arms around his waist and took a breath of air, "It's okay, I just woke up suddenly and was frightened."

Qi Lei listened and then reached out to turn on the bedside lamp. The bedroom suddenly became bright. He sat up and could feel the back of her nightgown was slightly soaked with his fingertips.

Seeing his action, Dongfang Liuyun was also surprised and sat up, looking at him with vague eyes.

"Get changed and I'll get you a glass of water."

After saying this, he also lifted the quilt and got out of bed directly.

Dongfang Liuyun then raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat and nodded. In the blink of an eye, he had brought her a nightgown, turned around and went out to pour her water.

When he returned to the bedroom, Dongfang Liuyun had already changed out of his soaked clothes and was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the swaying wind and rain outside. The heavy curtains were half open.

The temperature in the bedroom was okay.

"Drink a glass of water, are you so scared?"

He handed her the water and smiled.

She quickly answered it, glanced at him, drank two sips, and then said, "It's too sudden. It's fine at home. If you were outside at this time, I don't believe you are not afraid. What time is it now?"

"It's past four in the morning, almost five, and I can still sleep for two more hours."

he replied.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Come play chess with me."

"Playing chess?"

Qi Lei glanced at her in surprise, but she had already stood up, "I'm going to make a pot of tea."

Qi Lei looked at her in confusion, but seeing that she was rarely interested in this, he was naturally willing to accompany her.
