Chapter 1605: Possession (3)

When they returned to the Grand Lake Villa area, the sky had already fallen silent.

The sky outside was much gloomier than usual, and the air was much hotter than before. Looking at the dark clouds shrouding the sky, the street lights in the courtyard also seemed a little lonely and dim.

Dongfang Liuyun held a glass of water and leisurely wore a light-colored nightgown as she stood outside the rooftop on the second floor. She looked at the flowerbed in the front yard below and at the man who was squatting down to fix the morning glory. His movements seemed to be quite agile, from time to time, lightning flashed across the sky. With the help of the dim light, she could clearly see the focused expression on his face.

“Crash—”

After a dazzling silver light streaked across the sky, bean-sized raindrops finally fell quickly. The busy man below could not help but curse a few times. He immediately pulled up the plastic film to cover the morning glory that had not been fixed in time, he did not care about his body that had just been drenched.

“I wasn’t wrong when I called you a single-celled organism.”

Dongfang Liuyun watched and could not help but shake her head. She put down the glass of water in her hand and went straight downstairs. She took a large umbrella at the door and left.

On the other end, Qi Lei, who was busy, heard the sound of footsteps behind him. He turned his head to take a look. When he saw Dongfang Liuyun walking towards him with an umbrella in hand, he did not stand on ceremony, “Quick! There are still a few more over there. Hurry up and fix them. They’re going to bloom soon. I’m afraid this rain will last for a while.”

“You seem to be quite qualified as a flower protector.”

She glanced at him and reached out to grab the rope by the side.

“Of course. This is a rare morning glory seed. I got a friend to bring it back from abroad and gave it to Mu Yuchen. This guy said that I don’t have the skills to grow it. Isn’t that a joke? When I was playing with the wild flowers, that rich guy was still acting cool on their school team. In terms of playing, none of them are my match!”

Qi Lei did not stop his hand as he spoke. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction. When the entire garden of morning glory flowers blooms, I’ll invite them over to take a look and show them what planting skills are!”

“Can’t you tell that I’m mocking you? With your stance, you still want others to be blinded by you? Look at yourself. What’s so special about a few morning glories?”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled and squatted down as well. She carefully fixed one of the morning glory flowers in her hand.

“When the flowers bloom, I’ll blind your eyes first and then you’ll know what I’m capable of.”

What a narrow-minded perspective. Back when he was overseas, Qi Lei had personally planted all the flowers and plants in his manor, but later on…

He did not have the mood to do so. It was only in the past one or two years that he remembered this interest. On a whim, he got his friend to bring some flowers back from overseas. He wanted to plant some rare flowers and plants around the villa, it was also great for him to look at when he was free.

“I’m actually not that interested in flowers.”

“Who would believe that? Women love flowers. Oh, right, Mrs. Qi, I seem to have not given you a gift for Qixi. I almost forgot.”

Qi Lei suddenly remembered something. He paused for a moment and looked at Dongfang Liuyun.

He saw that Dongfang Liuyun had thrown the umbrella in his hand to the side. Just like him, she was busy in the rain. Her clothes were already a little wet. Silver light flashed across the sky from time to time. The muffled sound of thunder could be heard. She was not nervous at all.

“What gift? If it’s not expensive. I won’t accept it.”

Dongfang Liuyun immediately expressed her stance. Her hands did not slow down in the slightest.

“Of course. How can the gift I, Qi Lei, give not be expensive? Otherwise, it would lower my taste if I gave it away, not to mention that you’re my wife!” Qi Lei replied in a low voice.

He looked up at the sky, “The weather isn’t good. Otherwise, it would be a good choice for us to go out to the sea at night. The sunrise on the sea is quite eye-catching.”

“You often go out to sea to watch the sunrise?” Dongfang Liuyun looked at him in surprise.

“Yes. Occasionally, on a whim, I’ll go out to watch the sunrise or go fishing.”

“You know how to swim?”

She raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Hearing this, Qi Lei glanced at her with dissatisfaction. “Don’t underestimate my ability and IQ.”

Dongfang Liuyun laughed and shrugged. “Then let’s go bungee jumping another day.”

“No!”

“Afraid?”

“That’s right. I’m afraid of pain and death. If I die, no one will remember me. I’ll be reduced to ashes. No matter how I think about it, it’s a little sad.”

He fixed the last morning glory in his hand and held up the plastic film to block the storm. Then, he picked up the umbrella beside him and covered her head.

“When the time comes, it’s not up to you anymore,” she said in a casual tone.

“Okay, hurry up. Your clothes are wet! Go back and wash them!”

Another muffled thunder sounded. The dark night sky was instantly illuminated. The thunder suddenly became sharp and ear-piercing, and the rain also became heavier. He quickly wrapped his arms around her thin shoulders.

“Yes, it’s a little cold.”

Dongfang Liuyun subconsciously shrank her body.

“Take a hot bath. I’ll go get you some water.”

“Forget it. I’m fine. I’m not too wet. I’ll just change my clothes. You should hurry up and wash up so that you don’t catch a cold.”

The couple quickly returned to the villa.

Once they returned to the room, Qi Lei immediately went into the bathroom. Dongfang Liuyun changed her clothes and boiled water to soak two cups of medicine. She drank one cup and saved one for him.

The rain was heavy, and the wind was unusually strong. Large raindrops hit the glass window crazily in front of them. The rain poured down the glass. Dongfang Liuyun stood in front of the window and watched for a while before reaching out to close the curtains, unexpectedly, the phone on the table by the side suddenly vibrated.

She frowned and turned her head to look over subconsciously.

It was an unfamiliar call. She only took a look but did not pick it up.

The phone vibrated several times in a row. In the end, Dongfang Liuyun had no choice but to mute the phone. However, after the last big shock, Lan Xiu called after a while.

Dongfang Liuyun thought about it and finally picked it up.

“Happy holidays, Lan Xiu.”

Without waiting for the person on the other side to reply, Dongfang Liuyun had already opened his mouth. “How’s the discussion going?”

“Happy Qixi, Liuyun.”

From the other end came the rather cheerful voice of Lan Xiu

“I just finished dinner with Mr. Ge and rushed back to the hotel. The collaboration shouldn’t be a big problem. In the future, there will be an assessment before the final collaboration can be confirmed.”

“Congratulations in advance.”

“It’s all thanks to you. Mr. Ge mentioned you, and he said that Fuji…”

“Got it. Help me thank him for this favor.” Dongfang Liuyun replied and immediately hung up the phone.
