Chapter 1622: Disappointed (3)

Hearing his question, Dongfang Liuyun fell silent. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head—

“There’s nothing to regret. Lan Xiu and I… We’re two parallel lines that won’t intersect. However, we will always be a presence that sees each other and moves forward with each other. From the very start, we both knew where we should be.”

Having said that, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly paused and thought for a moment before continuing, “On this point, Lan Xiu himself is actually much more rational than me. I shouldn’t have opened my mouth. If something changes, it’s because of my impulsiveness.”

“You’re very concerned about this Lan Xiu. You’re not worried that I’ll be jealous?” Qi Lei glanced at her and said.

“I think it’s better to let you know about these things. It’ll also prevent you from suspecting our relationship in the future. You have to understand that if there’s any relationship between me and Lan Xiu, it’ll be friendship or something that can be sublimated into kinship. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to marry me.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, a smile flashed across her face.

“From what you said, it sounds like you’re saying that I’ve taken a huge advantage by marrying you.”

“Didn’t you admit before that you and I are like a cabbage being twiddled by a pigs”

Dongfang Liuyun used his previous words to refute him.

Qi Lei was puzzled in his heart. It seemed like when he argued with her, his chances of winning were almost zero?

He was a little unhappy, but on second thought, it made sense. Anyway, he had already slept with her. Who cares? He already had her…

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of some untimely sexy images. He could not help but glance at the woman beside him. It moved down and landed on her chest…

“Watch those eyes of yours! They’re full of vulgarity!”

A cold voice sounded like a golden spear slicing through ice and snow. Qi Lei could not help but tremble slightly. He coughed lightly and quickly retracted his gaze. His handsome face began to heat up for no reason, if one paid attention, they would definitely be able to see the layer of pink on his face…

“Don’t use the word ‘vulgar’ to describe me in the future. If others know about it, my image will be tarnished,” Qi Lei lowered his voice and said. His voice was so soft that even Dongfang Liuyun could barely hear it. It was fortunate that Dongfang Liuyun’s hearing was sensitive enough.

“You worry about tarnishing your image? In some feudal countries in the Middle East, with just the look in your eyes earlier, you’d be blinded by now,” Dongfang Liuyun said bluntly.

“Your premise is all wrong. You’re my Mrs. Qi now. What’s wrong with looking at you?”

Dongfang Liuyun frowned and gave him a cold look, “This meal is on you!”

“You…”

Qi lei glanced at her. Seeing her frown, he could only cleared his throat and explain, “Don’t mind me. I’m very serious. I wasn’t thinking about anything. No, what I meant was that I was wrong. This meal is on me as an apology… Look, the moon tonight is so round…”

Miss Dongfang turned her head and looked into the night sky. There was no full moon. The lonely night sky was flickering with lightning and signs of rain…

…

A thunderstorm that had been brewing for quite some time had quietly attacked this bustling metropolis.

Su Chen really hated this damned weather, especially on such a night. Not only was the road slippery and prone to car accidents, but the lightning and thunder made people feel uneasy when they went out.

In the past few days, traffic accidents also happened frequently, and the probability of them happening was much higher than usual.

For example, tonight, just as he was about to get off work, the city bureau immediately sent an emergency mission. There was a major accident on the highway in the south of the city. A large truck was overloaded, and the speed of the car was too fast, causing the brakes to skid. The entire car flipped over, and the car behind it rear-ended, because the car was too fast, it flew off the high bridge after the collision. The driver who caused the accident died on the spot. What was even more difficult to deal with was that the car that flew off the high bridge was the son of a high-ranking official in the provincial department. This person definitely would not survive, moreover, it was a drunk driver…

After the incident, when he heard that the high-ranking official in the provincial department was filled with grief and indignation, he immediately requested for a thorough investigation of this matter. Therefore, Su Chen could only rush to the scene of the incident.

They talked about these traffic matters almost every day, reminding him of it at all times, but…

Su Chen frowned as he looked at the tragic scene of the car accident in front of him. His heart was incomparably heavy. Although he had seen many such accident scenes, numbed to the point of numbness, but every time…

“Chief Su, there was only one driver in the heavy truck, and two people each including the drivers for two cars. Five lives were lost just like that…”

Secretary He walked over to Su Chen with an umbrella in hand. His tone was extremely grave, “Chief Huang wants you to give the higher-ups an explanation. The responsibility on who needs to get this investigated…”

“Alright, there’s no need for you to say it. I know! With such a strong smell of alcohol, how did the traffic police at the intersection do their job? Recently, they had been emphasizing that they were overloading and being strict with arrests for drunk driving. Were they doing nothing? Give an explanation to the higher-ups. What kind of explanation do they want? Of course we’ll give them the explanation they deserve!”

Before Secretary He could finish his words, Su Chen’s face had already darkened and his voice had already turned cold.

When Secretary He heard this, he instantly felt a wave of grievance in his heart—

Recently, there had been a little more matters , but this was also an order from the higher-ups. Chief Su, even if you are unhappy, you cannot vent your anger on me. Even if you vent your anger on me, it would not be of any use. I would not feel good either…

However, before Secretary He could say anything, the phone in his hand suddenly rang. He hurriedly reached out to answer it. Su Chen had already reached out to take the umbrella in his hand and walked forward, swiftly giving instructions.

“Chief Su, Chief Su! Chief Huang’s call!”

Secretary He did not know how much pressure he had to endure before he dared to walk over and pass the phone to Su Chen.

Su Chen took a deep breath and took the phone. After calming himself down, he replied—

“Hello, Chief Huang?”

…

“You know, I will do my job well. Don’t worry, Chief. Let’s leave it at that for now!”

When Su Chen heard this, he replied with a slightly unhappy tone. After he hung up, he returned the phone to Secretary He.

“Chief Su, does Chief Huang have any instructions?”

Secretary He saw that Su Chen’s expression did not look too good, so he asked carefully.

Su Chen glanced at him but did not say anything. Secretary He could only silently withdraw his gaze and lower his head…

“When we get back, tell them to be on high alert. If I get embarassed at this meeting at the headquarters, be careful that when I get back, they will all be embarassed too! These people, when something happens, they only know to ask for an explanation. Why don’t they look at the cause of the accident?”

“That’s right, Chief Su. I just checked. This noble young master was stopped by the traffic police once last month. He was also drunk driving…”

“Alright, stop talking. Hurry up and get to work,” Su Chen said solemnly.
