1691. Chapter 1691 I Will Protect You (I)

Zhou Zimo glanced at Su Chen disdainfully, then withdrew his gaze and silently lowered his head to pour the wine.

Mu Yuchen lowered his head and smiled, while Qi Lei peeled the shrimps.

"What should you pay attention to when giving a betrothal gift?"

After eating, Qi Lei suddenly asked.

"I'm telling you, your meal can't be that simple!"

After Qi Lei said these words, Su Chen suddenly smiled, turned to look at Mu Yuchen, and showed a victorious smile.

Mu Yuchen also raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at Qi Lei thoughtfully.

"Don't look at me like that and ask casually. If you don't want to answer, please do so."

An evil smile flashed across Qi Lei's lips, and he shrugged indifferently.

"Do you still know how to make progress by retreating?"

Su Chen saw through Qi Lei's thoughts at a glance.

"Actually, there's no secret. Isn't it just like that? It depends on what kind of people your father-in-law is. If you give him the right medicine, generally speaking, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"If you say it, you haven't said it yet. I don't expect you anymore."

Qi Lei glanced at Su Chen, and then stopped at Mu Yuchen.

Mu Yuchen looked much calmer. His dark eyes looked at Qi Lei for a while and asked, "You didn't prepare yourself?"

"I can't hide it from you."

Qi Lei responded.

"I know that Song Siting is not an easy person to deal with. Can't you get through with her?"

A flash of wisdom flashed in Mu Yuchen's eyes, and he looked at Qi Lei with interest.

"It's not like I can't pass the test. I'm just not that friendly. Forget it, let's just get over this matter and drink!"

Qi Lei took a breath and poured another glass of wine.

…

When I came out of Zhou Zimo's house, the night was already a little late.

Dongfang Liuyun had promised Qi Lei that he would go home very late, so when Qi Lei returned home, he didn't see Dongfang Liuyun yet. After thinking about it, he cooked some midnight snacks for her.

The supper had just been cooked when a car stopped outside. Qi Lei filled up the deliciously fragrant porridge, prepared a bowl, and walked out.

As soon as he put the porridge on the dining table, he heard the sound of opening the door. He raised his eyes and looked up, and sure enough he saw Dongfang Liuyun walking in.

"Why haven't you rested so late? It's almost twelve o'clock."

Dongfang Liuyun's calm voice came, and Xingmu also glanced at the wall clock on the opposite wall. The hour hand of the wall clock was almost pointing to the twelve o'clock position.

"When do you see me resting before twelve o'clock on a day? I'll cook you some supper. Eat some."

Qi Lei was considerate and filled most of the bowl for her and moved it to the opposite seat.

Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment, then directly put down the briefcase in his hand, took off his coat, washed the handles, then walked over, took a look at the porridge, and was a little surprised, and said, "Tremella lotus seeds? You I'm quite interested in doing this at night. I want to be courteous for nothing but cheating or stealing. Let's talk about it. Wherever I went to fool around tonight, I could smell the smell of alcohol when I walked by. Seafood dinner, wine, top quality, good vintage. , you are quite good at living."

After Dongfang Liuyun said these words, Qi Lei was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he came back to his senses. He quickly sniffed himself and said in surprise, "Is there any? Why can't I smell it?"

"If you can ask me, if you cheat on me in the future, how can I catch you?"

Dongfang Liuyun smiled at him mysteriously, then picked up the porridge and ate it leisurely.

"I don't even think there is anyone more beautiful and charming than you, enough to make me cheat on you."

Qi Lei squinted at her for a while before he said this. As he spoke, he reached out and took out a cigarette from the cigarette bag beside him, lit it leisurely, and took a puff casually.

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun took two sips before slowly raising his head and looking at him. After thinking about it, he said lightly, "No, in this world, there is actually no comparison between people. Do you think I am good?" , others may not think so, but I hope that what you can see now is all my fault. You should know that from the day I married you, I have never tried to hide the true Dongfang Liuyun. ”

"You are the real Dongfang Liuyun, and I am also the real Qi Lei. I know what you want to say. I have heard people say it before. The same is true for many lovers. There will always be a period of fatigue between two people. After being together for a long time, each other's shortcomings will be exposed more and more, and many things that were considered advantages before have become disadvantages. "

Before Dongfang Liuyun could finish her words, Qi Lei also cut her off.

In the light mist, when Dongfang Liuyun looked at him, she suddenly felt that his eyes seemed much deeper than before. Such depth made her feel a slight sense of oppression.

"Dongfang Liuyun, I understand now. Do you think...you feel guilty towards me?"

When Qi Lei said this, he also looked at her intently, not wanting to miss any change in the expression on her face.

Dongfang Liuyun paused and looked at him for a long time. After a while, she calmly retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes, and nodded without denying -

"Yes, I admit that my purpose is too strong, which is very unfair to you. And the marriage principles that I have always adhered to do not allow me to have such a strong purpose. I took advantage of you. Yes. I am suspected of pulling you into trouble, but we have always been good allies, good partners, and friends. Take this Nanjiang project as an example. I am actually not that confident about the future, and I am a little afraid of myself. I’ve treated you badly, and I’m even more worried that you’ll bet on the wrong thing this time in your life.”

Dongfang Liuyun said, took a breath, turned away, did not look at him, and blinked his strange eyes.

Qi Lei listened, but there was a slight smile on Jun's face. Such a smile looked very gentle. He thought for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his big hand uncontrollably, grabbing her hand that was placed on the table. The cold bare hands and the low voice sounded very emotional——

"It doesn't matter, I do it willingly. If that's really the case, then it must be because I lived too badly before and God is punishing me. If not, then God is taking care of me. Anyway, I am very happy now. Compared with the past thirty years This is a truly enjoyable time.”

She suddenly smiled and patted the back of his hand gently with her free hand, "It sounds so pitiful. Don't try to change the subject. Where did you go fooling around tonight?"

After saying that, he took back his hand and continued to eat her food.

The gloomy atmosphere just now was instantly swept away. Qi Lei raised his handsome eyebrows and said honestly, "I'm not fooling around. I'm just having dinner with Mu Yuchen and the others at Zhou Zimo's house."
