Qi Lei’s tone sounded quite smooth, and his black eyes also seemed very calm. He appeared to be quite credible.

“I’ll admit that I’ve played around before, but I’ve never really messed around with any women. I have high standards, so you don’t have to worry about any woman coming to your doorstep or the sudden appearance of illegitimate children.”

This was actually the first time Qi Lei had confided to others about his love life over the years.

He ended up like this because of messy relationships, hence he was more sensitive than anybody else when it came to issues like that.

Qi Feng no longer wanted to continue pursuing those issues, but because the damage was done, they left indelible wounds in his heart. He had been hurt, and he certainly would not allow himself to go down this path, or let his child go through what he had.

“You actually have the courage to tell me about all these.” Dongfang Liuyun sighed softly and frowned as she drank a cup of Chinese tea.

“I don’t want to know about your past. Our pasts came to an end when we signed our names on the marriage agreement, and what we’re about to face is the beginning of married life as a couple.”

She continued, “I’ve to say that I’m a very rational person. I believe in both realism and idealism, so being with me may be very tiring, but I’ll try my best to play the role as your wife. Since you know about my situation, I’ll try to sort out everything in two days and briefly update you about the situation in my family. By the way, Mrs. Song won’t be home for a period of time, so let’s go back and tell them about us next month on Chinese Valentine’s Day.”

She actually wanted to give each other some time to process things and become more familiar with each other, which was probably a good thing.

“I respect your opinion, so I’ll let you decide.” Qi Lei had no comment.

Dongfang Liuyun nodded. “Thank you for being accommodating. Don’t worry. Uou won’t be mistreated if you married me.”

“It’s up to me to decide if I’m mistreated or not. Actually, if we announce our marriage on the news, the stocks of our companies will most definitely skyrocket. However, I think you wouldn’t be so high-profile about it,” Qi Lei said while looking at her with a sharp gaze as if he could read her mind.

When Dongfang Liuyun heard this, she suddenly smiled, and slowly put down the teacup before standing up with the book to walk towards the opposite bookshelf. She put the book back on the bookshelf and answered, “You’re right, and that could be our showdown. I’ll be the business manager at the marketing department of the Dongfang Group soon. While it isn’t a great job, it’ll bring me benefits. We need to hide this news for now and see how it goes when I can finally get in touch with the higher levels of the organization.”

“What about the wedding?” he asked.

“If you don’t mind, I want to have it after I take over the Dongfang Group. At least, that’ll be considered a real wedding, whereby it has nothing to do with anything else but just our wedding. Of course, if you’re not satisfied, then just forget what I just said,” Dongfang Liuyun simply made her point rationally, and her eyes flashed sincerity and calmness. She looked at him quietly before continuing, “Also, I want to tell you in advance that I’m actually a little insensitive to many things, so if you have any thoughts in your head, just tell me honestly. We can talk it out to avoid unnecessary troubles. I hope that we can minimize the friction between us as much as possible and achieve the harmony of a husband and wife. Do you agree?”

“Why do I always feel that talking to you feels like a business negotiation? You’re always so straightforward. Why not be more interesting?” Qi Lei raised his eyebrows and gazed at her deeply.

“It’s better to talk things out. If you could walk on flat paths, why would you choose a rough mountain road? Don’t tell me that the rough mountain roads have beautiful sceneries because I’m old now, and I no longer have the passion of young people.”

“What do you mean old? Aren’t you only 27?” Qi Lei glared at her. “That’s a woman’s prime. I’m also afraid of walking on rough mountain roads, so I’ll leave it up to you.”

“Do I need to thank you for your thoughtfulness?” Dongfang Liuyun shot him a look.

“No need for that, Mrs. Qi! Anyway, clean up and let’s go out to take a look at our rings. I’ve made an appointment with the designer, so we can go and see what styles you like,” Qi Lei said as he put his teacup aside.

“I have all kinds of rings in my jewellery store…”

“That’s different. Let’s go, we’ll grab something to eat first,” Qi Lei grabbed the car key and got up. He walked out and left no room for negotiation.

The afternoon sun was brilliant, and the car zoomed past the hot air before stopping in front of a luxurious jewellery shop.

The husband and wife got out of the car with their sunglasses on.

“President Qi, you’re here! Miss Lisa has been waiting for you. This way please!” the front desk manager greeted him warmly.

Qi Lei nodded and held Dongfang Liuyun’s hand as they walked inside.

Lisa was a well-known French jewellery designer. Dongfang Liuyun had also heard of her before. The Dongfang Group had tried to hire her as a luxury jewellery designer for the company, but she had politely rejected them, so she now felt honored that she got to meet her in person.

She was a very elegant and poised woman who looked like she was in her 30s, but she was actually in her 50s and was well-known in the industry.

“Miss Lisa’s husband was my tutor at university. When I was about to graduate, she told me that she would personally design a pair of unique wedding rings for me. You’re the one with whom I’m sharing the moment, and I feel honored,” Qi Lei turned his head and looked at Dongfang Liuyun as he whispered into her ear.

Dongfang Liuyun followed his gaze earlier and glanced at Lisa. She nodded. “I’ve heard about her, and the Dongfang Group has tried to hire her with a high salary. She’s someone with principle and originality.”

“A master of her craft indeed. What do you think?” Qi Lei whispered before leading her in.

“Qi Lei, there you are!”

When Lisa heard their footsteps, she raised her gaze and looked over with her kind-looking eyes. Her gaze shifted and stopped on Dongfang Liuyun who was standing next to Qi Lei. However, the smile on her face seemed a little intriguing…
