“Of course he chased me.”

Without waiting for Qi Lei to speak, Dongfang Liuyun spoke.

“Who said that? Back then, you were the one who went straight to talks of marriage, didn’t I agree to it?”

Qi Lei’s deep voice was heard.

“Is that really the case?”

Dongfang Liuyun glanced at Qi Lei. This time, Qi lei coughed lightly and did not reply.

Mu Zirui shrugged. It was obvious that he already knew the answer.

...

When they returned to Grand Lake Villa district, it was already a little late. Dongfang Liuyun quickly brought Qi Wei’er upstairs to take a shower. Mu Zirui also found his room under Qi Lei’s guidance.

When he was done with his work, he coaxed the two children to sleep. It was already 11 o’clock in the night. When Qi Lei came out of the bathroom in a refreshed state, Dongfang Liuyun was no longer in the bedroom. It was obvious that she was in the study.

Qi Lei dried his jet-black hair and walked towards the study.

As expected, he saw Dongfang Liuyun, who was focused on her work at the desk.

“It’s so late. You should rest early. I have to accompany the children for a day tomorrow.”

Qi Lei walked over silently and stopped beside her.

“Let’s settle these matters first. It’s about time. If Father doesn’t come back soon, the situation here might be out of control. Aunt wants to come back too. Grandmother asked me to find a position for her in the company, I haven’t decided where to place her yet. I can’t have no real power, and I can’t let her have too much power. Also, I can’t let her have any dissatisfaction in her heart.”

Dongfang Liuyun had a headache over these things.

“Aunt?” Qi Lei muttered softly, and the words ‘Dongfang Xue’ flashed through his mind.

Dongfang Shuman and Elder Dongfang’s other daughter after their son, Dongfang Gan, was also Elder Dongfang’s youngest daughter. Dongfang Liuyun had roughly described her situation, and she seemed to be quite ambitious.

“I wanted to arrange for her to be in the Administrative Department. I wanted to consult my father’s opinion, but my father’s phone has been switched off for the past two days, which makes me feel a little uneasy. Usually, when he’s out on business, my father often turns off his phone, but this time, I find that things are a little strange because he has been away for too long.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she could not help but hold her forehead.

“Don’t worry. If anything happens, we’ll definitely know in time. He’s probably in the mountains investigating the situation at the mine. Didn’t he say a few days ago that he would be back in a few days? He’ll rush back to attend our wedding.”

Qi Lei walked over and poured her a cup of warm water as he comforted her.

Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes flickered as she took a deep breath. “This is the only way to comfort myself. After Uncle Ming’s accident, I feel more and more uneasy, like I feel stifled.”

“You’re just putting too much pressure on yourself.”

Qi Lei reprimanded her in a low voice. “Give yourself a good vacation to relax. If the strings in your heart are too tight, you’ll naturally feel uncomfortable and repressed.”

“It’s not that. It’s just an indescribable feeling. You know, it’s sometimes difficult to explain a woman’s sixth sense.”

Dongfang Liuyun eased up a little and began typing again.

Qi Lei moved the water over and slowly stood behind her. He followed her gaze and looked at the laptop screen in front of him. He saw that it was the feasibility analysis for the implementation of the City East’s plan.

“Wang Chun seems to have received many copies of this plan before. Their common problems are all here. The later maintenance problems, as well as here, the environmental problems, and the consumers’ receptors. The analysis isn’t comprehensive enough.”

Qi Lei pointed at the few contents on the screen.

“These few? I also have some opinions that I don’t quite agree with about the consumers’ receptors. There’s also this, the environmental problems, and that’s the old city area, so...”

Dongfang Liuyun frowned.

“Don’t worry. We can change the way it’s done, look here.”

Qi Lei bent down slightly and typed a few lines on the cursor. Dongfang Liuyun quietly stared at the screen. Seeing that he was busy, she began to be slightly absent-minded. She quietly raised her eyes to look at him, it was his focused handsome face.

A light and pleasant smell filled the air. Dongfang Liuyun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and her face began to heat up.

“Stay away from me.”

Behind him, Dongfang Liuyun could not bear it any longer and frowned. Looking at his appearance...

He was wearing a dark blue nightgown. The collar was wide open and she could see his chest clearly. He had just finished bathing and there was a fresh and soothing fragrance on his body. As she smelled it, she felt that she could not remain calm.

When Dongfang Liuyun said this, Qi Lei was surprised. He retracted his gaze and looked down at her slightly. Only then did he realize that she was leaning against the back of the chair and looking at him with a slightly red face.

Qi Lei was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He immediately teased, “Why? Does Missus Qi think that I look very appetizing now?”

“You’re not allowed to wear such revealing clothes in the future. It’ll affect the appearance of the city.”

Dongfang Liuyun simply reached out to tuck his slightly open chest away and shot him a glance.

Hearing that, Qi Lei immediately laughed out loud and reached out to grab her hand.

“We’re at home now, and in the room. I’m not even in my birthday suit, already so reserved. Why is your face so red?”

Qi Lei held the table with one hand and looked down at her. His gaze actually made her feel a little pressured.

“Who told you to dress like that? You’re up to no good! You’re not one who’s reserved, when someone claimed to be a romantic in the car just now. Someone’s quite good at pretending,” Dongfang Liuyun said with a slightly sullen face.

Qi Lei chuckled. “I can tell that you can’t resist my charm. Why can’t I be reserved and introverted? Although I used to be flirtatious, I never acted rashly. I’m not greedy. My standards are very high.”

Qi Lei looked at her disapprovingly.

“You’ve had a few girlfriends before. In the true sense of the word, which woman do you like the most?”

After hesitating for a moment, Dongfang Liuyun finally could not help but ask.

When she asked this question, even Dongfang Liuyun herself felt surprised—

She did not expect that she would ask such a question!

She was a little curious about his previous relationships.

If it had been asked in the past, she would never have dared to think that she would ask this question.

This question of hers...

Qi Lei looked at her meaningfully and did not answer for a moment.

He heard that a lot of relationships would be ruined ex-girlfriends, she probably was not such a woman, right?

It was not a big deal. He had almost forgotten what those exes even looked like!
