It was already an hour later when dinner was ready.
Dongfang Liuyun had just begun serving, and Yang Sheng was also very diligent in helping to prepare the bowls and chopsticks.
“I’ll go up and ask him to come down for dinner. Let’s have some wine, it’s in the wine cabinet, bring a bottle of red wine over,” said Dongfang Liuyun.
“Yes, Missus.”
Yang Sheng replied. Dongfang Liuyun then went upstairs.
The bedroom was empty. Dongfang Liuyun turned around and walked towards the study. Just as she pushed the door open, she could smell a faint smell of smoke. She looked around and soon found the figure in the rattan chair under the floor-to-ceiling curtains by the window.
The phone on the low table beside him was still on. There was a call coming in, but Qi Lei had turned it off.
Dongfang Liuyun walked over quietly and realized that the man in the rattan chair had fallen asleep. His breathing was heavy, and he was obviously tired. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he did not sleep well.
Dongfang Liuyun was silent for a while, and her heart tightened for some reason. After thinking for a while, she decided not to wake him up. Instead, she took a blanket from the sofa and quietly covered him with it.
Perhaps she had moved too brashly, when she pulled her hand back, it woke him up. Her slender wrist was immediately held in his hand. When she looked at him, she met his pitch-black and slightly dazed gaze.
“What’s wrong? Did I wake you up?”
Dongfang Liuyun did not struggle and let him hold it.
Qi Lei raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows. His voice was a little hoarse and filled with a hint of fatigue. “It’s alright. I fell asleep as soon as my head felt heavy. What time is it?”
“I just made dinner. Yang Sheng is waiting downstairs. Wash your face and come down quickly. Are you okay? You look a little pale.”
Dongfang Liuyun asked worriedly.
“I’m fine. I haven’t rested well in the past few days, so that’s just how it is. I just need to rest earlier tonight.”
Qi Lei propped himself up on the chair and slowly stood up.
“Mm, let’s go down and eat first.”
She helped him pull on his slightly wrinkled shirt and followed closely behind him.
Downstairs, Yang Sheng had prepared the bowls and chopsticks. When the couple came down, they began eating.
Yang Sheng’s appetite was very good. Qi Lei did not eat much, but he drank two or three glasses of wine.
“Finish the rice in the bowl. Don’t drink so much.”
Just as he was about to pour the fourth cup, Dongfang Liuyun had already moved the half-filled bowl of rice in front of him to replace his empty bowl.
Hearing this, Qi Lei glanced at her from the side. He did not say anything before silently picking up his chopsticks.
“Has my culinary skills deteriorated?”
She asked softly as she served herself another half-filled bowl of rice.
“No.”
“Missus’ culinary skills are not bad. At least, it’s much better than mine. Master Qi, you have to eat more.”
Yang Sheng spoke just in time.
“Go back quickly after you finish eating. It’s the Yang Festival soon. Rest well for a few days.”
Qi Lei instructed.
“I know, Master Qi!”
“Get Wang Chun to come over tomorrow.”
After dinner, Qi lei called Yang Sheng upstairs. Not long after, Yang Sheng went back too.
Dongfang Liuyun was done tidying up. When she returned to the bedroom, Qi Lei had already finished bathing and laid down on the bed. The lights in the bedroom were a little dim. It was just a wall lamp by the French window.
Dongfang Liuyun subconsciously lowered her movements. Without turning on the lights, she went to the bathroom.
Qi Lei was also in a deep sleep. After an unknown period of time, he felt the blanket beside him being pulled up. Someone had crawled in. He subconsciously reached out and pulled the woman into his arms.
“Do you want me to help you relax your shoulders?”
Under the dim light, Dongfang Liuyun propped herself up slightly. Her bright eyes were like stars as she looked at him calmly.
Only then did he open his eyes slightly and narrowed his eyes at her. He saw that she had just finished bathing and the collar on her chest was wide open. The clear and cold fragrance inexplicably stirred the bestial nature in his blood. He immediately smiled and said wickedly, “There’s no need. I have a better way.”
After he finished, Dongfang Liuyun was already under him.
Dongfang Liuyun rolled her eyes. “Don’t you feel tired?”
“I don’t mind being a little more tired when it comes to you.”
He smiled mysteriously and did not stop moving his hands. He quickly moved to her waist. Before Dongfang Liuyun could react, she felt a chill on her shoulders and a cold kiss fell on her…
Only then did she look at him helplessly and cooperated with him very well. A pair of small hands also reached for his waist…
After two rounds of fierce fighting, the husband and wife both fell into a deep sleep.
Dongfang Liuyun did not know how much time had passed, but her intuition told her that she seemed to have slept for a long time. Suddenly, she was awakened by an uneasy burning sensation. She opened her eyes in a daze, and his entire body felt like it was engulfed by a hot stove.
There was also the sound of heavy breathing in her ears. Dongfang Liuyun suddenly seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly struggled to get up. She reached out to turn on the bedside lamp and turned to look at the man behind him.
She saw that the man was frowning and curled up, as if…
Dongfang Liuyun had a vague feeling that something was wrong. She quickly reached out to touch his forehead. As expected, the temperature on his forehead was frighteningly hot. He must be feeling very uncomfortable.
“You’re down with a fever!”
“Why are you so weak? It’s either a cold or a fever?”
Dongfang Liuyun said somewhat helplessly.
After some thought, she could only get out of bed helplessly. She rummaged through all the drawers in the house, but she could not find any fever medicine. It seemed like she had used up all the fever medicine the last time. As for the rest, she tossed them out because too much time had passed, and she had not have the time to buy more after that.
It was not easy for Dongfang Liuyun to help a tall and straight person like Qi Lei down the stairs. When she placed him in the car, he was already sweating profusely. Even in this cold autumn season, the temperature at night was very low, and she was panting from exhaustion.
When she arrived at the hospital, she was in the emergency department.
After the doctor gave Qi Lei a checkup, he immediately gave him an infusion.
Dongfang Liuyun also quietly stood by the side. Of course, at this moment, Qi Lei had regained some consciousness. He could naturally sense such a huge movement.
Qi Lei also woke up from his daze. He felt that his shoulder was a little heavy, so he subconsciously turned his gaze over. With his hazy gaze, he saw Dongfang Liuyun leaning against his shoulder and taking a nap.
The memories in his head quickly rushed over. Suddenly, he thought of something and smiled inexplicably. His idle hand reached out and grabbed her thin shoulder…
