Chapter 1635 - How Could I Lose It? (4)

Any man would be afraid of his woman saying this, not to mention Second Master Qi!

His unconvinced tone naturally carried a hint of dissatisfaction. However, as he spoke, he carried her out of the room with ease.

Fencing?

Upon hearing his words, Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes immediately lit up. She was a little surprised, “You like fencing?”

He glanced at her and said in a low voice, “What do you think? When I was in university, I was the champion of fencing for several consecutive years. Actually, I have always admired the warrior spirit since I was young. Every man has a heroic dream in his heart, and I’m no exception. If I could choose, I hoped that I could become a carefree swordsman. I can be happy in the world of martial arts, of gratitude and grudges.”

“Swordsman?”

Dongfang Liuyun muttered softly and smiled, “I can see that the in-game you are actually quite similar to the real you. To be a top-notch swordsman requires very strong mental resilience. Moreover, the so-called world of martial arts doesn’t exist anymore. The world of business is like a battlefield, the so-called world you want isn’t as free and unrestrained as the legends say anymore.”

“I realized that you always like to say things that ruin my spirits.” Qi Lei frowned.

He placed her on the soft bed and laid her on top of him. His passionate kiss carried a punitive nature...

...

‘Bang—’

Another empty bottle fell to the ground. The enclosed space was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

Lan Xiu did not remember how many glasses he had drunk, but it was not like what others said, that getting drunk could solve a thousand worries. He was becoming more and more sober. At least, he had never felt as sober as he did now.

He still could not believe it.

Why did Liuyun marry Qi Lei just like that?

“President Lan, don’t drink anymore. You can’t drink anymore either. Be careful of your health!”

Ah Li could not stand it anymore and reached out to grab the bottle in his hand. His heart was extremely gloomy, “Miss Dongfang’s feelings for you have never been ordinary. That Qi Lei just came out of nowhere. If you really love Miss Dongfang and can’t lose her, then take her back now! Miss Dongfang would definitely not want to see you like this.”

Lan Xiu broke free from Ah Li’s support and looked at him coldly. He coughed violently a few times before saying in a hoarse voice, “What’s unusual? If I never had it, how could I lose it? Get out, I want to be alone for a while.”

Lan Xiu placed his hands on the table and took a deep breath. He tried his best to suppress the surging waves in his chest.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“President Lan...”

“Get out! Get out, get out!” Lan Xiu could not help but point at the door and look at Ah Li coldly.

“I’m leaving, I’m leaving! President Lan, don’t be angry. Miss Dongfang cares about you. Since you really like her, you should get her back from him. President Lan, it’s been so many years. Anyone can see that you have deep feelings for her. She must also know...”

“Get out!”

It would have been better if Ah Li did not say that, but as soon as he said it, Lan Xiu’s face turned even paler!

Ah Li was startled by this shout. He then looked at Lan Xiu worriedly and silently retreated.

‘Bang!’

The sound of the door closing was heard. Following that, everything on the table was swept to the ground by Lan Xiu, and the ground was soon in a mess—

She does not love me. She does not love me. She does not love me at all...

Those were the only words that echoed in Lan Xiu’s mind!

No matter how close he was to her, she still did not love him.

How could he make her, Dongfang Liuyun, fall in love with her?

There was no other way!

This realization came from the depths of his mind, causing the pain in his heart to intensify. He suddenly regretted why he hesitated in the first place. He clearly wanted to her, but...

He had to admit that sometimes, fate was like this. Once you missed out on it, you could not start over again.

In the past, because he knew that she and Fujiwara had a memorable relationship, he had always thought that they would eventually end up together. That was why he had willingly restrained all of his feelings and waited by her side, he would rather be her best friend for the rest of his life. However, he did not expect that she and Fujiwara were not fated to be together in the end.

As for Lan Qi, that gentle man, his elder brother whom he respected, he also had deep feelings for her and loved her more than himself. So, if it was him, he, Lan Xiu, would still be willing to quietly fulfill her wishes and hide all of his feelings, but...

This time, it was not them. Dongfang Liuyun did not love Qi Lei at all. How could he, Lan Xiu, be willing to accept it?

This time, he could not let go anymore. He had to muster up the courage to pursue her until she...

If she has fallen in love with Qi Lei, he will let go!

Taking a deep breath, Lan Xiu, who had struggled for a few days, finally made this decision. He had to protect her until she found happiness with him or happiness with Qi Lei, but would he really do it?

Lan Xiu himself could not answer it...

...

The thunderstorm that had been going on for a few days finally stopped after yesterday’s unusually violent storm. The next morning, there were still raindrops outside, but the sky had cleared up. The wind was a little cold, and the ground was gradually drying up.

When Dongfang Liuyun entered the office, Secretary Ding Xiaoling had already come in with a large pile of documents.

“Manager Yun, these are all the relevant information about the launch of the new product that you asked for. Manager Rou from the Public Relations department asked someone to send them over. Oh right, Manager Rou also specially reminded you that this matter is of great importance and asked you to submit a satisfactory answer sheet to the company. The final result of this event planning will become your assessment result. If we can’t produce satisfactory results, then the HR department will handle things impartially.”

Ding Xiaoling’s face darkened slightly as she relayed Dongfang Rou’er’s words to Dongfang Liuyun. Dongfang Liuyun immediately frowned when she heard her—

“She’ll act impartially if the results are unsatisfactory?”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled coldly, “What do you mean? She wants to remove me from my position?”

“Even if she can’t remove Manager Yun from your position, it’s most likely just to embarrass you,” Ding Xiaoling explained, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction between her brows—

Unexpectedly, this Dongfang Rou’er was really getting more and more impudent! Does she really think that the entire Dongfang Group is her territory?

“She’s using my words against me.” Dongfang Liuyun smiled disdainfully.

Only then did she slowly stretch out her hand to take the document. After casually flipping through it a few times, she tossed it back to Ding Xiaoling, “Take it back to their Public Relations department. Tell them to get the previous person in charge of this event from the Public Relations department to come over and give us a general account of the situation. Also, see how far they have progressed. Let them set on the time and we’ll have a meeting.”
