1744. Chapter 1744 Meeting (Part 1)
The first glimmer of light in the morning dispelled the silent night. The morning curtain lifted, and an intoxicating golden soft light quietly appeared on the horizon. The soft light became more and more brilliant, and quietly shook on the clean and dust-free floor-to-ceiling windows. There was a vast softness on the ground in front of the window.
When Dongfang Liuyun woke up, the seat next to him was already empty.
She got up and freshened up leisurely. When she finished packing and went downstairs, the sofa in the living room was also empty. Qi Lei usually sat on the sofa reading the newspaper and waiting for her to have breakfast.
"Good morning, madam!"
Wang Ma was just preparing breakfast. When she saw Dongfang Liuyun coming down from upstairs, she said hello eagerly.
"Good morning, where is your young master?"
Dongfang Liuyun asked with his eyebrows furrowed as he walked down the stairs.
"The young master drove out early in the morning. He said he would be back soon. Madam, please have breakfast first so you don't have to wait for him."
Wang Ma said.
"Going out? What are you doing?"
Dongfang Liuyun asked with some confusion as he walked towards the dining table, silently pulled out the chair and sat down.
"I don't know. The young master didn't say anything. There must be something urgent. But he should be back soon."
Wang Ma explained while pouring milk for Dongfang Liuyun.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded, "I'll do it myself, you go ahead."
"Okay, madam!"
Only then did Wang Ma retreat.
However, when Dongfang Liuyun was halfway through, the sound of a car stopping was also heard outside. After a while, familiar footsteps also came over, as well as the voice of Wang Ma saying hello.
"get up?"
Qi Lei strode in, took off his coat, unbuttoned his cufflinks, folded his sleeves slightly, sat down opposite Dongfang Liuyun, took the wet towel beside him and simply wiped his hands. As he spoke, his eyes naturally fell on Dongfang Liuyun's clear and calm face.
Dongfang Liuyun didn't respond to him, but stretched out his hand to pour him a glass of milk and said, "Where did you go so early in the morning?"
"It's about the company. I thought it was time for you to wake up, so I rushed back."
Qi Lei explained simply.
"I thought you were going to let me go there by myself."
Dongfang Liuyun naturally did not forget the things agreed yesterday.
"When did you miss my appointment? What's more, I have to go there every week. Even if you don't go, I will go."
Qi Lei said these words calmly, then lowered his head and enjoyed his breakfast silently, with no visible expression on his handsome face.
Dongfang Liuyun looked up at him and saw that he was eating elegantly. After thinking about it, he lowered his eyes and said while cutting the food on the plate, "I know that the knot in your heart will not be tied for a while." Come on, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If you really don’t want to go, I don’t have to go. I naturally hope you can be happy and relaxed.”
After saying this, Qi Lei paused for a moment and quickly returned to you, "It's not because of this. Of course I hope you can get over it. However, with the Qi family's situation, worrying about it will only make you feel sad." It just adds a sense of desolation. At least, I will feel that way every time I calm down and think about it.”
Having said this, Qi Lei paused and thought for a moment before continuing, "You have never been to the Qi family's old house. When grandpa and grandma were still there, the house was very lively, but now... with a There is no difference in the dead manor. It is empty and quiet, and even I feel a little unnaturally scared when I walk in. I hope you don't have to get involved in everything about the Qi family. After all, it is in the past, and it is all in the past. Something unpleasant."
"You have thought about it quite a lot. Don't I also want to drag you into the Dongfang family? Aren't you involved now? And it seems that I feel very at ease. When will you be able to do it?" With this kind of awareness, I can be a qualified husband.”
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, he crossed the table with his hands and gave him the fried eggs on his plate. He ate two last night and was a little tired of them.
"I am needlessly worried. You are different from me."
Qi Lei glanced at her, but he didn't feel like accepting it as it was.
"Do you really dislike your father and hate that you are a member of the Qi family?"
Dongfang Liuyun took a sip of milk and asked lightly. He didn't look at him, but looked at the food on the plate in front of him quietly.
After asking this question, Qi Lei was silent for a while and said quietly, "It's hard to say that I used to have expectations for him, but then I became numb. To be honest, when I saw him lying in my arms covered in blood, After all, I still felt a little uncomfortable. Qi Feng also died in my arms, and I also saw my mother die in front of my eyes. After experiencing several lives and deaths, I should have been able to take it lightly. "
Thinking of these unhappy pasts, Qi Lei could not help but feel a little uncomfortable. However, even though there was still a lump of bitterness deep in his throat that he could not swallow, he could calm himself down now, unlike before... …
"Sometimes, you will suddenly feel that the world has become so quiet. There is nothing to look forward to and nothing to miss. You become a lonely person, just yourself."
Qi Lei's tone was light and no emotion could be heard.
However, Dongfang Liuyun could easily catch a sense of resignation in his eyes. Of course, that kind of resignation was not the kind of decadent resignation, but the kind of light and gentle relief. Just looking at it I don't know why, but it makes her feel a touch of sadness.
"How can I be alone? I'm not alone, and you won't be either. Let's be a companion together. I've left all my back to you. You have no expectations, but you can't let me have no expectations. Feeling. I can’t lose, and it’s your responsibility not to let me lose, do you understand?”
Dongfang Liuyun didn't do much to comfort him, so he just said this. However, hearing such words was particularly helpful to Qi Lei's ears.
Sometimes, it is not comfort that is more effective. Dongfang Liuyun always seems to be able to catch his weakness. Even he himself has to admit that perhaps, in this world, the only person who is in tune with him and who truly understands him is It's just the woman opposite Dongfang Liuyun, his legitimate wife.
Thinking of this, Qi Lei couldn't help but feel that maybe he could still have a touch of luck. If she could stay by his side and grow old with him, it would be the most beautiful thing that fate had bestowed upon him.
