Chapter 1608 - Possession (6)

“Didn’t we discuss this before?”

Dongfang Liuyun raised her gaze and looked at him with a frown.

“Are you willing to wait until the matter is spread and have others say that your husband doesn’t have anything to offer to marry you?”

He looked at her disapprovingly and lifted his hand to pour her a cup of tea, “I don’t intend to spread the news of our marriage either. In the current situation, a private marriage is good for you. I’ve already gotten Wang Chun to handle the relevant matters. Since you’re in the Marketing Department, why don’t you take a look at the proposal of the South River Project and get to know about it? Tai Yu is currently assessing the strength of your company. You can start from this aspect and come up with some projects and data that we’re satisfied with.”

“Which aspect of projects and data do you plan to study?”

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun raised her gaze and met his gaze. Her eyes did not conceal the anticipation in them.

“That is an internal secret.”

He laughed softly and looked at her with a gaze filled with interest, “I’m looking forward to your company passing. The other two companies are comparable to your Dongfang group’s strength and may even be above yours. They are both veteran companies that have cooperated with Qi Kai before. If I were to directly offend them, it wouldn’t be very good either.”

As he spoke, he had already dipped his finger in some water and wrote down a few projects on the side. Dongfang Liuyun narrowed her eyes as he watched and very quickly memorized those few projects.

“Will you come personally for the assessment?” She asked.

“Wang Chun will bring the inspection team over. This project is very important. It has a lot of benefits to Mu Yuchen, Glory World, and Xi Xiaye. I can’t be rash. If Dongfang group really has the ability, of course, I’m willing to leave it to you.”

Dongfang Liuyun listened and then nodded. “We’ll discuss it when the time comes. Dongfang Ren has been fighting for this project all along. Many troubles are waiting for me. I’m afraid I’m not strong enough.”

“You’re already saying such discouraging words before you even enter?”

Qi Lei glanced at her.

She quietly lowered her eyes. “I don’t like these scheming situations. Scheming and scheming makes people exhausted, but there’s nothing I can do.”

As she spoke, she swallowed the half of the rice flour rolls in a few mouthfuls. Finally, she drank a few mouthfuls of tea. She pulled a tissue from the side and wiped her mouth. Then, she stood up with her backpack—

“Oh, right, I’ve already burned the document from yesterday. Although I know you might not care, I do. Also, I’ll think about the marriage. I can’t hide this matter for long because my grandmother’s birthday is coming up... forget it, I’ll tell you about this later.”

After saying this, Dongfang Liuyun walked to the drawer at the side and quickly found the car keys.

“I’m leaving. If you get off work early tonight, go to De Bao House and help me get my things. I’ll explain it to Uncle Ming.”

As soon as she said this, her figure disappeared through the door...

Qi Lei did not say anything. He silently watched her figure vanish out the door. After a while, he lowered his eyes and a rare relaxed smile appeared on his handsome face—

It was as if he was suddenly looking forward to the rest of his life.

After thinking about it, he suddenly finished the tea in his cup in a few gulps. He reached out and wiped his mouth with the napkin. Then, he took his briefcase and followed her out.

...

‘Bang’

The sound of the door closing could be heard. Dongfang Liuyun turned to see the man sitting in the front passenger seat and frowned. “Is there anything else?”

“Send me to work. It’s on the way anyway.”

He gave her a sideways glance and then turned his head to look out of the window, pretending that he did not see her dissatisfied gaze.

“There are so many cars in the garage. Can’t you drive one yourself?” Dongfang Liuyun said in puzzlement.

“You don’t want to be with me?”

When he heard this, he immediately frowned and turned to look at her—

This reaction was not right, it was not right at all!

Theoretically speaking, should she not be a little warm and cuddly at this moment?

No wonder he felt that something was not quite right. Only then did he realize that something was not right!

Her reaction was too calm!

Logically speaking...

“What do you think?”

She retorted unhappily before starting the car. “Just to be clear, I’ll be home very late at night. Do you want Yang Sheng to pick you up from work? And where are your bodyguards?”

“I’ll be busy until late too. When you’re going home, come pick me up. Call me when you get there and I’ll come down,” he replied calmly.

“How are you going to settle dinner?”

She narrowed her eyes at him before steadily driving the car out of the door. She increased the speed of the car and drove forward.

He did not answer. He simply turned his head away and closed his eyes silently. He leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

However, after a while, Qi Lei’s phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He reached out and took it out. He looked at the caller ID and saw the name flashing on it. Then, he sat up slightly—

“Zimo?”

He read it and then swiped the answer button.

“Qi Lei? It’s me, Zhou Zimo.”

The call went through, and Zhou Zimo’s voice soon came from the other end. His voice sounded a little hoarse, and there was a faint cough.

“It’s me. What’s wrong?”

Qi Lei’s eyes darkened, and he became a little vigilant. “Where have you been fooling around recently? Mu Yuchen and Su Chen have been looking for you for quite a few days. A few days ago, your mother went to the hospital and asked me about you. What have you been up to?”

Zhou Zimo had gone missing quite a few times this time. If it were between the few of them, Zhou Zimo was the one who liked to be all mysterious now. He was often elusive, so it was difficult to find him.

“Don’t say anything more, drive to the western suburbs right now. At the foot of Guangming Temple Mountain, at the intersection next to the parking lot, in the direction of the limestone path... Get lost, don’t come over... Do you hear me? Hurry up and come over. Mu Yuchen and Su Chen, these two bastards, I can’t get through them on the phone. Don’t come over... Hurry up and come over yourself. Just you. Hurry up! Otherwise, someone will bloody die!”

Zhou Zimo only had time to say the last few words. Then, Qi Lei heard a ‘Pa’ , and then there was no sound.

What was going on?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qi Lei realized that something was wrong. From Zhou Zimo’s tone just now, it seemed like he was in some kind of danger. He seemed to have heard a very fierce dog bark. Could it be...

Qi Lei frowned.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”

Qi Lei glanced at her and quickly dialed Yang Sheng’s number. He told him to immediately drive to the nearby plaza to fetch Dongfang Liuyun. Then, he turned to Dongfang Liuyun and explained, “Zhou Zimo seems to have encountered some trouble. I’ll go take a look and have Yang Sheng send you over.”
