“The soup is almost done.”
Qi Lei said this as he lowered his head and looked at her silently.
At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly sighed helplessly and lowered his eyes. “I wasn’t thinking of having dinner with him.”
“When you said that you were going to Cloud Residence, I knew that you were going to meet him. I didn’t care too much about it. Based on your previous relationship, it’s naturally good to clarify some things in person,” said Qi Lei.
“Then why… Are you now…” Dongfang Liuyun asked in surprise.
“I’ve made things clear. Don’t see him in the future. I wanted to go over to pick you up, but I didn’t think you’d be happy, so I came home early.”
“How would you know that I wouldn’t be happy about it if you didn’t come?” Dongfang Liuyun asked back.
Qi Lei was silent. He did not seem to know how to answer.
Behind him, Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath. Suddenly, she stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his lips. Before he could react, she had already retreated and reached for the bag in his hand.
“Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll take care of dinner and the dishes tonight, okay?”
Qi Lei was stunned for a moment. He could not react in time, but Dongfang Liuyun’s slender figure had already disappeared at the kitchen door.
At this moment, Qi Lei was in a daze. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his lightly pursed lips. His handsome face softened, but he did not chase after her. Instead, he turned around and returned to the living room.
However, just as he sat down on the sofa in the living room, he noticed the pot of blooming petunias on the table. He quickly brought it over to take a closer look.
The dinner was not too sumptuous, but they were all good dishes that Qi Lei liked to eat.
Dongfang Liuyun’s culinary skills were not bad to begin with. Furthermore, Qi Lei usually gave her face when she personally cooked.
“The pot of petunias on the table in the living room…”
When he finished a bowl of rice, Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Liuyun, who was holding the bowl for him. Finally, he could not help but ask.
“I bought it for you. I don’t think I’ve given you any gifts before.”
Before he could finish, Dongfang Liuyun answered directly.
“Do you like it?” As she said this, Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyes and looked at him quietly.
“Of course I like it, but why did you suddenly think of giving me flowers?” Qi Lei took the rice from her and asked.
“Because I was feeling guilty. When you heard that I was going to Cloud Residence this morning, your gaze wasn’t quite right.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not hide his thoughts. “In order to make my life better in the future, I have to think of a way to coax you.”
“Your honesty really makes me want to…” Qi Lei gnashed his teeth as he muttered. He glared at her, but he could not say a word of reprimand. Furthermore, Dongfang Liuyun had picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his slightly opened mouth.
“Don’t worry. I’m just trying to clarify things so that we won’t end up in trouble in the future. Since I’m already married to you, I won’t look back. There’s no need for you to be so jealous over these things. You, Qi Lei, are unique. So many women want to be with you? I’m one of them.”
“At least you know your limits.”
Qi Lei narrowed his eyes at her. His tensed heart finally calmed down.
Dongfang Liuyun chuckled when she heard that. She suddenly looked at him with interest. “Why? Are you that nervous about Fujiwara?”
“He’s my number one love rival. If I don’t guard against him, do I have to support him?”
Qi Lei did not hide his dissatisfaction with Fujiwara at all—
“Yang Sheng has mentioned him to me before, and I’ve seen him before. I admit that he’s very handsome. He’s just a little less handsome than me, and his family background is about the same as mine. But to be honest, his personality and charm are definitely not on par to me. He often has a cold expression on his face, and it’s not like he’s trying to be cool!”
The more Qi Lei spoke, the angrier he got. He was so angry that his hand that was holding onto his chopsticks was trembling. “When it comes to talking, he doesn’t have my grace. When it comes to being magnanimous, he doesn’t seem to be more magnanimous than me. I really don’t know how you fell for him in the past.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun was stunned. She looked up in surprise at the man who was scolding him with some sarcasm. This was the first time Dongfang Liuyun had seen him lose his composure like this
From her impression, Qi Lei had always paid attention to maintaining his image, but now…
However, seeing him like this, she found him a little cute.
“You’re also a fool for liking a person like him.”
As he said this, Qi Lei saw that she did not respond and was quietly drinking her soup, so he could only say this in a muffled voice.
At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun raised her head to look at him and said quietly, “Since you know that I’m quite stupid, why are you still so angry? President Qi, do you have to be angry with a fool?”
This sentence made Qi Lei speechless. When he met her interested gaze, he gritted his teeth and said, “Because I’m also the second dumbest after you.”
Qi Lei’s tone sounded helpless and disappointed when he said that. After he said that, he looked away.
Dongfang Liuyun chuckled.
“Thank you for your concern, dumbass!”
Qi Lei looked up and glared at her, ignoring her.
“I’ll definitely ask for your permission next time. I’ll act after you approve it.” Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment and said.
“This condition isn’t good. If I approve it then, I’ll be unhappy. If I don’t approve it, you’ll be unhappy too. If you leave such a difficult problem to me, I’ll think you’re just giving me a hard time.”
Qi Lei was not stupid. After being with this woman for a long time, he could gradually understand her unusual thought process.
Dongfang Liuyun listened and raised her eyebrows. “What else do you want?”
“You should think about it yourself. I can’t restrict you. You’re free. Alright, let’s eat. The food is already cold. I’m making a big deal out of this. You don’t have to take it to heart. I know about what happened between the two of you. I…”
“We’re just a matter of the past. That’s a memory that I never wanted to awaken. I told him that my future is with you.”
“With me?”
Qi Lei muttered in a low voice as she stared at him quietly.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded. “I won’t deny that we had an unforgettable relationship, but the rest of my life is about you, so you don’t have to mind it. I hope that you can have faith in me.”
“I…”
Qi Lei mumbled softly and did not say anything else.
“Please believe in my loyalty. I’ve already decided that you’ll be the one for the rest of my life.”
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly reached out to pull him back and said firmly.
“If that’s the case… then I’ll… give it a try.”
“Yes, we’ll live in peace and happiness.” Dongfang Liuyun replied.
