Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update of the most beloved marriage in history: Mr. Mu’s beloved wife!
The reunion dinner was quite harmonious.
Song Siting has also restrained herself a lot. Qi Lei actually doesn't have much prejudice. She just thinks that he is not as suitable for her daughter as Fujiwara. In fact, she still appreciates Qi Lei himself.
As for Lan Xiu, after his conversation with Dongfang Liuyun just now, the atmosphere has relaxed a lot.
The rain outside had long since stopped. After dinner, the night sky was not clear, but a faint moon could be seen hanging in the distant sky.
The air after the rain is very fresh, but also a bit cool.
Qi Lei and Lan Xiu were both called over to play cards by Dongfang Qian, and the three of them just joined in to fight the landlord.
Dongfang Qian really likes to play this game. Usually when two are short of one, Dongfang Liuyun will be pulled over to make up the number. Dongfang Liuyun is not very happy because she doesn't like this gameplay very much. Pai Gow is pretty much the same.
The night was as cool as water, and Dongfang Liuyun opened the floor-to-ceiling curtain on one side. When he walked out to the rooftop, he saw gorgeous and dazzling fireworks blooming in the sky opposite, and the sound of "pop, pop" could be heard in his ears.
The colorful fireworks illuminated the entire silent night sky very brightly, making the moon hanging on the sky even more hazy.
Dongfang Liuyun slowly came to the railing and then stopped. He leaned on the railing leisurely and looked at it, his eyes following the cold moon in the sky.
After being silent for a while, she took a deep breath, crossed her fingers, stood in obeisance, silently closed her eyes and prayed devoutly. At this time, she looked very peaceful and distant.
The cool breeze blew up the corners of her clothes. Looking at it, it looked like a curling and swaying cloud. Her indifference should also be like the wind passing through her fingers.
"Are you mourning him?"
Qi Lei's low and slightly emotional voice suddenly came from behind.
Dongfang Liuyun did not move, but maintained her previous movements and continued to mutter something silently. It was not until Qi Lei stood beside her for a while that she slowly opened her eyes.
"Who is he you are referring to?"
She turned her face, with bright eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"grandfather?"
Qi Lei asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun shook his head gently, withdrew his gaze and looked at Leng Yue in the sky.
"Grandpa passed away at a healthy age, so I have no regrets. Sooner or later, everyone will have his day like this. He just needs to live a good life there."
"Well, what are you praying for?"
Qi Lei asked.
"Suddenly I remembered a late good friend. He was a very warm person, with a typical gentle temperament of the boy next door. If you had known me a few years earlier, you might have become good friends with him. He was Lan Xiu's Brother, Lan Qi, the three of us have grown up together. He is a few years older than me, and Lan Xiu is also a little older. They are the ones who protect me on weekdays. "
Dongfang Liuyun mentioned the name very calmly.
Qi Lei didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
"If he hadn't left, I might have married him."
After a moment of silence, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly said this, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. Qi Lei couldn't actually hear anything from her tone, but it was undeniable that when he heard her say that, he felt sure Somewhat uncomfortable.
"You...you like him?"
Qi Lei asked in a low voice.
Dongfang Liuyun smiled sadly and shook his head, "No, I respect him as an elder brother. In theory, I am actually his fiancée. It is just a verbal agreement, and it cannot be taken seriously. But when he told me When he proposed, I was hesitant, but he left before I could respond. In fact, I wanted to agree to him, but I was also afraid, just like Lan Xiu is now. "
"So, life is like this most of the time. Many things are out of your control. Even if you accept your fate, you cannot admit defeat in your bones. Otherwise, people will fall. Don't give yourself any excuses."
Dongfang Liuyun sighed softly, "Okay, let's not talk about these things. Let's talk about what you and dad said."
"As for the Nanjiang project, he will leave for Myanmar in a few days, but only after I give you a betrothal gift."
Qi Lei said in a low voice.
"A betrothal gift?"
Dongfang Liuyun frowned in confusion.
"As I told you before, on the 20th of this month, I will give you a betrothal gift to my wife. The matchmaker is marrying you. I will give you a wedding that you will never forget."
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun paused and thought for a long time before asking, "Do you really want to hold a grand wedding with me?"
"certainly!"
Qi Lei responded immediately.
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly smiled, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "That's okay, but it's already August, so we can't make it in time. At the end of the year, you marry me for the winter, and someone will warm my bed."
"Haven't I been warming your bed now? And it's exclusive."
Qi Lei glanced sideways at her and stood leaning on the railing with his hands folded.
"Then it's up to you. Let's arrange it at the end of the year. If it catches the Spring Festival at that time, we can go abroad for our honeymoon. We will accompany you to the places you want to go and play the things you want to play with you."
Qi Lei absolutely obeyed her wishes on this matter.
"okay."
She responded calmly and suddenly turned her head to look at him, "Will you regret signing our marriage agreement?"
"regret?"
He muttered in a low voice, and suddenly reached out to take her hand, looking at the ring on his slender finger, and replied in a low and emotional voice, "I have never been so sure of a decision. It must be the most correct thing I have done in my life."
Looking at his deep and resolute appearance, Dongfang Liuyun chuckled, "I also feel a little lucky for the situation. You are really good. Among all the men I have met, only when I am with you can I seem to breathe."
"So, I am your decompression package?"
Qi Lei was interested.
"I said that we are people who warm each other up. You are lonely and helpless, and I am alone. Think about it, how similar are we now to our identities in the service area?"
Dongfang Liuyun's slender fingertips also casually fiddled with Qi Lei's crystal glass cufflinks, while speaking.
"You have the care of your parents and Lan Xiu, and I..."
He paused and turned his head to look at her, "I may only have you, you won't abandon me, right?"
It sounded so calm and casual, but Dongfang Liuyun could keenly detect a hint of desolation.
She took a breath, suddenly tilted her head, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "We have a lifetime..."
