Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dongfang Liuyun was not courteous or pretentious as she sat down and took a glance at the dishes on the table before she said calmly, “Looks pretty good. How rare.”
“Then, give me face and eat more.” Qi Lei nudged the fruit juice he just poured towards her as he responded, “My life is simple. Every day, I just work as usual, and you roughly know what my family situation is like. I think family pressure won’t be a problem for you from my end.”
When Qi Lei said that, his tone was mixed with some coldness.
Of course, there would be no pressure since he was the only one left in the entire Qi family. Qi Qiming was still in a coma while w.a.n.g Qi, Qi Feng, and Gu Lingsha had all pa.s.sed away. Right now, he was the only one left. Sometimes, when he thought about it, he would feel quite lonely. He did not even want to step foot into the empty Qi residence anymore.
After he said that, Dongfang Liuyun’s hand that had just picked up her chopsticks paused. She thought about it, then said, “Forget about those unfortunate things. Life has just only begun again. I’m not one who likes to remember the past. If you can’t let it go, then you are just trapping yourself, and I don’t want you to be like me.”
Dongfang Liuyun then picked up his bowl to calmly serve him some soup. The two of them did not seem like husband and wife who had just registered their marriage but good friends who had been at it for many years like always. They interacted naturally and did not feel out of place.
Qi Lei took the bowl, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly got up and walked to the kitchen. Moments later, he took out a few tablets for Dongfang Liuyun. “Eat your medicine first, and then drink some soup.”
He knew that her gastritis had not been great lately, so dinner consisted mostly of light dishes.
“Thank you.” Dongfang Liuyun took it and silently swallowed it.
“No need to be so courteous anymore. I notice that you’re treating me more and more like an outsider.” Qi Lei gave her a napkin, and a hint of a smile gathered on his handsome face. “I’m a very easy-going person, so what are you nervous about?”
“Nervous?” When she caught that word, Dongfang Liuyun looked up and shot him a side glance. “How do I look nervous now?”
He smiled and did not answer, only silently lowering his head to drink the soup.
Halfway through dinner, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly said, “After dinner, let’s play for a bit, then send me home, or you can hand me your car keys too.”
“I already told Yang Sheng to prepare some clothes for you to change into. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go over since I have a whole day to help you pack tomorrow.”
Qi Lei’s straightforwardness gave Dongfang Liuyun no room to refute. She thought about it.
Why should she be all pretentious? They were married anyway!
She sighed to herself and then resigned to her fate as she quietly lowered her head to continue with her meal.
After dinner, Qi Lei washed the bowls. When he was done and went upstairs, he could already hear the sound of the game being played from inside the study, so he walked over with two gla.s.ses of water.
Inside the study, Dongfang Liuyun was already sitting comfortably on the chair at his desk while the computer was switched on.
It was not like they had experienced a moment like this before. Previously, in Dongfang Liuyun’s store, the two of them would gang up and work together for a few rounds, so right now it did not feel awkward since it was merely a change of location.
Qi Lei quickly took out his laptop, pulled out a chair, and connected a backup keyboard before he logged in as well.
…
Moments after that, the study was filled with the sound of keyboards being smashed, and sometimes they would talk to each other.
“Watch your back. That mysterious person is missing.”
“I know. You go front, and I’ll cover the back.”
“Okay, I think there’s a dense forest ahead, so be careful.”
…
It seemed as if nothing much had changed. The two of them did not seem to realize that they were newlyweds. They were immersed in the game, and even when time whizzed past midnight, they did not realize it.
Suddenly, a puzzled voice was heard and broke this silence.
“That’s weird. Why don’t I see them?”
“I think something must have happened at the labor union. A while ago, I heard that their labor union had some sticky matters to deal with. Alright, it’s late. Go offline then. I’ll prepare your bath water first.”
Qi Lei kept away his laptop and slowly stood up to walk out the door.
Dongfang Liuyun watched the figure vanish at the door, then she ma.s.saged the s.p.a.ce between her brows. She leaned back against the chair, feeling worn out, as she took a book from the side to flip through.
It was a book on modern buildings. When she flipped it open to read, a bookmark fell out.
Dongfang Liuyun caught it swiftly, but just when she slid it back in, her gaze unexpectedly brushed past a photo frame on the side.
It was quite an artistic picture of the beach during sunset. The sky and sea engulfed the back of a person, and you could tell that the back belonged to Qi Lei himself. He just looked a little lonely.
Dongfang Liuyun sighed softly. Suddenly, she bent slightly and took the frame, lowering her head to study it in detail. After a long while, a faint smile rippled across her face, then she put the frame back and continued to flip through the book in her hand.
Soon, she heard Qi Lei’s shouts from outside, so she closed the book and got up to go out.
“They forgot to send over the pajamas with the clothes, so you might have to wait a while. I’ll call them right now,” Qi Lei pointed at the large back on the bench at the end of the bed that the bodyguards had just sent over as he explained.
Dongfang Liuyun walked over and casually took out the clothes to scrutinize. He probably did not know her size, so they were all leisure clothes, but they would do.
“It’s fine. I’ll just go back and get it tomorrow. As for tonight…I’ll just put up with it for a bit,” she said, and then her gaze averted to the dark blue sleeping robe on the chair beside her.
“There’s a clean one. Wait for a bit,” Qi Lei said knowingly as he walked to the closet. After a while, he came back with a clean sleeping robe that Dongfang Liuyun accepted.
“The towel and toiletries are on the upper left side of the cupboard by the sink. Call me if there’s anything. I’ll go to the study and send them an email. Meanwhile, I’ll keep your clothes in the closet,” Qi Lei picked up those clothes as he said.
“Mmm, you go get busy then. I can handle this myself.”
Dongfang Liuyun felt odd as she held the sleeping robe in her hand tightly. She sighed to herself, then turned to walk into the bathroom beside them.
