Dongfang Liuyun looked at him for a long time. Qi Lei felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. He could only cough lightly and turn his head away as he quietly closed his notebook.
This man always made her feel warm for some reason. Her silent heart seemed to be waking up. Even Dongfang Liuyun did not know if she was feeling grateful.
Actually, she was also afraid of this feeling. Perhaps she also hoped that there would be something more than gratitude.
After a long while, a smile suddenly bloomed on her beautiful face. It was as beautiful as the blooming of a water lotus. A pair of slender arms also wrapped around his shoulders, silently watching him. Her clear voice was also very emotional—
“I’m a little afraid that you’re too good to me. Don’t put too much effort into it. Unless you’re prepared to be exploited by me for the rest of your life.”
Hearing that, Qi Lei’s eyes suddenly flashed with a ray of light. He looked at her silently. “You don’t trust me?”
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly smiled when she heard that. She closed her eyes gently and nodded.
“Then why are you saying such things?”
Qi Lei frowned.
“Because I want to confirm if it’s true. Why are you looking at me like that? Shouldn’t you be proud of me praising you in such a low-key manner?” Dongfang Liuyun chuckled.
Qi Lei looked at her and smiled quietly. There was a faint gentleness gathered in the corner of his eyes.
Dongfang Liuyun took in his reaction. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly tilted her head and leaned over to him. She pecked his slightly cold thin lips and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “In the past, I’ve never thought of the word ‘loyal’, but now, I’ll occasionally think of you. I hope you’re ‘loyal.’ From now on, you won’t treat other women like this.”
“You want me to label you?”
Qi Lei quickly hugged her tightly and forcefully pulled her into his embrace. His voice was deep and emotional, especially his eyes, which were obscure. Dongfang Liuyun felt as if the whirlpool inside could swallow her whole.
“Aren’t you the same?” Dongfang Liuyun asked back.
Hearing that, Qi Lei chuckled softly.
“I’ve always felt that we work very well together. Sometimes, I even forget about the alliance we talked about before. Do you feel that way?” Dongfang Liuyun asked.
“Which pair of allies have you seen like us? Our relationship has long been extraordinary. If you don’t want to admit it, you’re just lying to yourself.”
Qi Lei was very open-minded. As long as she stayed by his side, everything else was not important. After all, they were still getting along happily together, right?
“I also find it amazing that we get along so well, but I think it’s probably because we’re just the same kind of people.”
Qi Lei was silent for a moment, then he nodded in agreement. He felt the faint warmth from her body and the cold fragrance that was as clear as orchids. It made him lose control. However, he kissed her forehead gently, and now he could regain a trace of rationality.
“Let’s go back.”
He took a deep breath and stood up with her in his arms.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded and helped to pack up.
“Is the meeting hosted by Vice President Wang Chun tomorrow?”
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly asked, “I still have some questions that I need to inform him in advance.”
“What questions?” Qi Lei asked.
“Dongfang Rou’er will be coming over together with Dongfang Yi’s people tomorrow, so…”
“Don’t worry about that. It’ll be arranged.”
As Qi Lei said this, he grabbed the coat on the shelf with one hand and put his arm around her shoulder with the other as they walked out.
Dongfang Liuyun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and quietly followed his footsteps.
Compared to the harmonious rapport between Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun, Zhou Zimo’s side was not as smooth as before.
Qin Su was really a woman who was cold to the bone. Zhou Zimo even suspected that she was a huge iceberg!
She had already been transferred to the prosecutor’s office. In the past few days, she had to hand over the work, so she would leave early and return late. However, every night, Zhou Zimo would drive over and wait for her. When she got off work, it was the same as now.
Qin Su dragged her tired body out of the prosecutor’s strict and solemn gatehouse. From afar, she saw the car waiting on the roadside in front, the familiar license plate number, and the man leaning against the car waiting—
Who else could it be but Zhou Zimo?
Qin Su could not help but feel dizzy. She wanted to move away, but Zhou Zimo had already waved at her.
Helpless, Qin Su could only walk over.
“Have you waited long?” Qin Su asked indifferently.
“Why are you asking so far-fetched questions? After waiting for half an hour, I know you get off work late, so I didn’t come over so early either. Get in the car.”
Zhou Zimo stretched out his hand to open the door of the passenger seat and gave her a sideways glance.
“I’m pressed for time tonight.” Qin Su frowned and said.
“Even if you’re pressed for time, you have to eat. What’s the matter? Why are you frowning?”
Zhou Zimo could not be bothered to wait for her to agree. He directly stuffed her into the car and asked.
“Work transfer, leaving the military district. I have to find a place to stay.”
Qin Su raised her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. There was a hint of exhaustion in her hoarse voice.
It was not that she did not want to go home, but the house was too noisy. There would be a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. No one could stand it. Qin Su was a person who liked quiet, so she naturally did not want to stay at home.
“You want to move out?”
Zhou Zimo looked at Qin Su in surprise and pointed at the seatbelt. Qin Su quickly pulled it over and fastened it.
“My home is quite far from my workplace. It would take me more than an hour to get here in time for the traffic jam. It’s more convenient to go to work from a nearby place.”
“Since that’s the case, you can move to my place. It’s only half an hour’s drive from here to my place. Moreover, the highway around the new development zone rarely gets stuck in traffic. The environment there is pretty good.” Zhou Zimo said very generously.
However, Qin Su gave him a cold stare.
Zhou Zimo was stunned for a moment. A moment later, he realized that his consideration was inappropriate and hurriedly said, “I don’t have any other intentions. In any case, the villa is very big. I live alone. Recently, I’ve often returned to the old house. The house is mostly empty. There are also servants at home. Don’t worry, I won’t have any ulterior motives. It’s not easy to find a house with a good environment now. Besides, I know you don’t like to use things that have been used by others. It’s not safe to rent a house…”
“Shut your mouth and drive!”
Qin Su was really annoyed by Zhou Zimo’s bunch of excuses. The most hateful thing was that she was really thinking the same thing in her heart—
It was hard to find a suitable house, especially one in the vicinity!
