Ace of Clubs!

Not only did Dongfang Liuyun feel a wave of powerlessness, she rubbed the space between her brows and looked at Qi Lei suspiciously. She asked, “I said that the one with the smaller number is the one who does it all, right?”

Qi Lei answered her with a look of indifference.

Only then did Miss Dongfang sigh weakly to herself. She stood up silently and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing her figure walk past, Qi Lei turned to look at her. His black eyes were filled with a rare evil smile—

Girl, fighting with him was a classic case of courting death!

About half an hour later, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He subconsciously turned to look. As expected, Dongfang Liuyun had already brought food out of the kitchen—

“Come wash your hands and eat,” she said simply.

“So fast! What delicious food did you cook?”

Qi Lei quickly got up and walked to the dining table. He took the wet towel from her hand and wiped his hands as he looked at the food on the dining table..

It was actually just simple noodles, vegetables, ham, sausages, and some ingredients. He immediately frowned and glanced at her, “Why this?”

Dongfang Liuyun did not think much of it. She looked back at him and sat down calmly. She picked up her chopsticks calmly, “What’s so strange about it? Noodles and meat both smell quite enticing. Just make do with it. Didn’t you say that the days of pampered young masters are long gone?”

After saying this, she scooped up the noodles and blew on it before stuffing it into her mouth.

Qi Lei was speechless. He took a deep breath and sat down unwillingly. He had thought that there would be delicious home-cooked dishes tonight. This woman’s cooking was actually pretty good, previously, she was the one who had done almost everything at De Bao House. At the time, he had thought it was hard to believe that a Missy like her could actually cook. However, after they got married, she...

Qi Lei picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Just as he picked up the noodles, he looked up at her who was quietly eating. He looked down at her bowl and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he reached out to grab the chopsticks in her hand and stood up—n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Forget it. Wait for a while. You have a weak stomach. In the future, it’s better to eat less of this stuff. Wait here, I’ll cook.”

As soon as he finished, he directly put the two large bowls of noodles into the tray and strode into the kitchen.

Dongfang Liuyun could not react for a moment. She looked at her empty hands and after a long while, she raised her gaze to look out of the gray window. Finally, her gaze stopped at the empty kitchen door...

After a while, she could vaguely hear the sounds of work coming from the kitchen.

Dongfang Liuyun paused. Finally, she picked up the water beside her and drank a few mouthfuls. Then, she got up and followed after him.

In the kitchen, Qi Lei had already washed the rice, put it in the pot, and started the porridge. He was busy washing the ingredients and cutting them up.

Standing behind him and watching him busy himself, he looked like a good, domestic man.

She looked at him silently for a while before saying, “Forgive my laziness, because I was really not in the mood to cook.”

She thought for a long time before explaining.

Qi Lei was stunned when he heard that. He could not help but look up at her, “I understand. I won’t blame you. I didn’t marry you to cook for me.”

His gaze was very magnanimous, and there was a hint of a smile on his handsome face.

She paused for a moment and leaned against the door. She bent her leg and had her arms cross her chest leisurely. There was a rare glimmer of softness in her beautiful eyes. The scenes from last night flashed through her mind, and she could not help but sigh, “I’m glad that you didn’t hesitate. When you jumped in, weren’t you worried that something might happen to you?”

At that moment, Dongfang Liuyun could not help but ask.

When he heard her say that, Qi Lei’s hand froze for a moment. Then, he continued to get busy. “Are you trying to express your gratitude?”

His back was facing her, and the light in his dark eyes was faint. He did not seem to have any emotions.

“Of course there are some. Every woman wants her husband to be like an unrivaled hero. He always appears when she needs him the most. Moreover, aren’t the female and male protagonists always like this on television or in novels? Although the plot is arranged in such a coincidental way, everyone likes to watch it. It’s just a view of the hope in everyone’s heart, isn’t it?” Dongfang Liuyun lowered her voice and said faintly.

“You say these theories like those dialectical materialism methods that analyze the problem before answering the question. Naturally, I can’t beat you. But, listen, it seems to make sense.”

“That’s a political course, my major is archaeology.”

She smiled and walked over to him.

..

After dinner, the sky outside had already fallen silent. In the distant sky, there were only a few lonely stars.

They did not have a good rest last night, and it was another day of torment today. After the couple finished bathing, they did not have the mood to play games, so they went straight to bed to rest. However, before they went to sleep, Qi Lei did not forget to bring her a cup of ginger brown sugar water.

Dongfang Liuyun also accepted it.

...

They slept through the night until it was close to noon the next day. When they woke up, Qi Lei had already gone to work. However, he called her later to tell her that he would be back later that night. Tomorrow was Qixi, which happened to be in time for the weekend, he might be a little busy later.

Dongfang Liuyun did not go out the entire day. She only stayed at home to familiarize herself with Dongfang Group’s information.

In a blink of an eye, the day passed just like that.

As the night deepened, the shadows of the lanterns became clearer and clearer.

Tanshan Villa District, Dongfang Gan’s study room.

Dongfang Gan was flipping through the information in his hands when he was suddenly startled by a knock on the door. He frowned as he glanced at the door and replied unhurriedly, “Come in!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was immediately pushed open. Ah Fei walked in with a heavy expression.

“President!”

Ah Fei walked all the way to the desk and called out to Dongfang Gan with a grave tone. Even Dongfang Gan could hear something strange in that tone. He hurriedly raised his head from the document and looked at him—

“What’s going on? That expression? Have you investigated everything that happened yesterday?” Dongfang Gan asked in a low voice.

Ah Fei’s expression was even darker. He took a deep breath and lowered his voice, “President, it’s not about what happened last night, but it might be more shocking than what happened last night. It’s related to Miss.”

“What’s going on?”

At the mention of Dongfang Liuyun, Dongfang Gan immediately frowned. His eyes could not help but show some worry.

“President, according to your instructions, I investigated Miss’s matter. I found that Miss Liuyun has registered her marriage a few days ago, and...”
