Chapter 1822: Can’t Let Her Lose (1)

She quickly took out her phone and looked at it. It was Qi Lei who had called.

They had not contacted each other for two days, and it felt like they were separated by a few years. Dongfang Liuyun looked at the caller ID on the screen, and the hidden bitterness in her heart started to spread for no reason.

After a long silence, she picked up the phone and walked forward.

“Hello…” Dongfang Liuyun replied calmly.

At this moment, on the quiet streets City B, Qi Lei was walking slowly under the dim street lights while talking to her on the phone.

“It’s so late. Aren’t you home yet?”

Qi Lei’s sensitive voice of concern came through. It touched the silent longing in her heart. She had wanted to complain, but at this moment, it finally seemed to dissipate.

“Not yet. I came to visit Mother at the hospital. She’ll be discharged tomorrow.” Dongfang Liuyun replied. Her thin figure turned the corner and walked towards the elevator.

“It’s been hard on you. I’ll get Wang Chun to help. Liuyun… Don’t worry about the scandal. Don’t bother about it. I’ll take care of it.”

Qi Lei’s low voice was apologetic.

“Mm, you don’t have to feel pressured. I didn’t take it to heart. Just come back as soon as you’ve settled the matter. I’ve been feeling quite tired these past few days. If this matter really gets out of hand, I’m afraid I’ll have a hard time handling it. I can’t handle it. Father seems to have met with some trouble in Myanmar. Vice President Zhang needs to go over and help. The matters in the company…”

When Dongfang Liuyun spoke about these things, her tone was also filled with helplessness, but it was also more of exhaustion—

It was not that she was not capable, but it was because of her current position in the company. Many things were not something that she could decide. Moreover, Dongfang Shuman would be attending the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow. The meeting would be held in the afternoon, so she did not have any excuses to decline, she could already imagine the scene where those people would denounce her.

“It’s fine, trust me. Go to the company boldly tomorrow. I’m here for everything. You don’t have to worry about anything. Previously, I kept saying that I’ll give you a gift. If nothing goes wrong, you’ll see it tomorrow.”

Qi Lei’s deep and emotional voice carried a hint of comfort at this moment. It eased the pressure in Dongfang Liuyun’s heart.

No matter what, she should feel satisfied to be comforted like this. She, Dongfang Liuyun, was not afraid to take on the pressure. She was only worried that she would drag Dongfang Gan and the rest down.

She had always been like this. She was much more ruthless to herself than others.

“I’m not worried about this, but…”

Dongfang Liuyun wanted to say something, but she did not know what else she could say. She finally remained silent.

The two of them remained silent. After a while, Qi Lei said, “I know you’ve been working hard these past few days. When I come back, I’ll reward you well. I’ll make you live the life of a queen.”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled. “If I were a queen, I wouldn’t make you work like a cow. Remember to bring me some gifts.”

“How can I not get you some gifts? I’ve even gotten gifts for father and mother.”

Qi Lei smiled and stopped walking. He sat down on a bench under the streetlights.

Dongfang Liuyun felt a warmth in her heart—

She knew that apart from being good to her, he was also good to her family. Although Song Siting did not usually like him, he still silently cared for them most of the time. Every time he saw something good, or when he went on a business trip, he would always think about bringing gifts for them.

However, now that she thought about Song Siting’s attitude just now, she could not help but feel a pain in her heart for him. After some thought, she said, “Just bring it for me. Why do you care so much about them? They will get what they like on their own.”

It was not that she was unfilial, but this might make her feel better.

“What’s wrong? You don’t sound too happy? Did something unhappy happen with Mother again?”

Qi Lei was also keenly aware that there was something wrong with her mood.

“No, you know that we see things differently. I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Mmm. It’s okay, don’t think too much. Actually, my parents are very good to me. I didn’t feel any harmony and warmth from my family when I was young. At least when I went to Tanshan, my parents were very good to me. If it’s because of me, you don’t have to do that. Time can change many things. I believe that they will slowly accept me in the future.”

Qi Lei was a very sensitive person. Many times, he could guess that Dongfang Liuyun’s relationship with Song Siting was a little tense because of him. He would never expose it. He was just worried that she would let her imagination run wild.

When Qi Lei said this, Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes suddenly heated up. She sniffed and took a deep breath. In a hoarse voice, she said, “Is it tiring being with me?”

“Tiring? Am I?”

Qi Lei mumbled and thought about it seriously before replying, “I don’t think so. From the moment we signed, we were husband and wife. I’m your Dongfang Liuyun’s husband. You have the right to rely on me. Of course, I should also do my best for you.”

“How many women have you told such sentimental words to?”

Dongfang Liuyun could not help but feel a little touched, but she replied to him like that.

A smile appeared on Qi Lei’s face as he said disapprovingly—

“Dongfang Liuyun is unique. Other than you, who else has the ability to make me so reckless? There’s only one Dongfang Liuyun in this world. For someone like me who doesn’t have much grace and doesn’t know what to treasure, it’s only for this once that I can lose my mind. You have to watch me closely.”

When he said this, a relaxed and evil smile flashed across Qi Lei’s face. It looked rather pleasing to the eye.

“Am I that great?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s lips also contained a faint smile as she asked softly.

“I didn’t say that you’re that great. It’s just that you’re right for me.”

“You’ve said that I’m great before.” Dongfang Liuyun chuckled.

“Did I say that before? I don’t remember. Let’s use what I said now.”

Qi Lei thought for a moment before replying.

Dongfang Liuyun snorted coldly.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Get back early and remember what I said. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

“Mmm, then you should rest early and come back soon… I do miss you a little. There’s no one to warm the bed…”

Qi Lei…
