Chapter 1513 She“s Like The Wind 3

Qi Lei also suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when he had asked Dongfang Liuyun questions about her health, the answer that she had given was, “It’s no big deal. I had a gastric ulcer and got hospitalized for a few days, but I’m recovering well now.”

Dongfang Liuyun did not like to mention her family affairs, and it was not difficult to see that. In fact, her beautiful brows would frown slightly every time she talked about matters related to the Dongfang family just like they did in this moment. Sometimes, it might even seem repulsive to her.

“Okay now, you should eat something.” Qi Lei stopped the conversation just in time. Dongfang Liuyun also nodded and started to reach out silently for the dishes.

“Oh yeah, I have something for you. Just accept it as a thank you gift for your concern from before. I think you’ll like it.” A faint smile appeared on Qi Lei’s face as he said so. He picked up the dark paper bag next to his heavy briefcase and handed it to Dongfang Liuyun, who was opposite him.

As Dongfang Liuyun raised her pretty eyebrows, she stopped her actions to lift her gaze and glance at Qi Lei. She seemed surprised, but she did not reach out for it for a while.

“Take a look at it. I know that you’ve been searching for it for quite some time already. I went to Europe last month and found it after searching a lot of places, there’s nothing much that I can use to express my thanks, so I hope you’ll like it.” Qi Lei’s deep voice slashed through the air in between the two.

Dongfang Liuyun paused for a second before putting her chopsticks aside. She reached for the gift, opened it, and took its contents out…

It was a few books which paper was already yellowed. They seemed to be books that had been published a while back, and they were still wrapped in kraft paper.

“The Lord of the Rings! But how…how did you find them?” Dongfang Liuyun skimmed through the pages of the yellowed book in glee, and her voice was overflowing with joy. “I’ve been looking around for a long time. I can’t believe that you found them…”

“I heard you mention it before. I thought of it when I went to a bookstore during my business trip, so I asked a friend to find them in order to give it to you as a thank you gift for the book you gave me back then.”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled cheerfully while she carefully put the books away properly, and gazed at Qi Lei. “Actually, you don’t need to be so courteous, but then, I won’t pretend to refuse, so I’ll accept them.”

“Actually, I was worried that you’d reject them,” Qi Lei replied humorously.

“You can take me as a person who’s very fond of courteous reciprocity. It’s very useful to me.”

“Good.”

…

After dinner, the two went to a small square nearby to sit down. In the end, Qi Lei sent Dongfang Liuyun directly back.

In Villa number 17, in Beach Villa District, Grand Summer Bay.

As soon as the car stopped, Dongfang Liuyun opened the door and got out of the car. “It’s still early. Would you like to come in?”

“Maybe next time. I still need to go to the hospital for a while, and then go back to my office for some documents. It’s rare to get two days rest during the weekends, but there are still tasks that need to be handled in time.”

Dongfang Liuyun nodded and then walked inside with her backpack. Meanwhile, Qi Lei waited until the lights in the villa lit up before he ignited the engine and drove off.

Qi Qiming had been in a coma for a very long time. His condition was just like Ruan Heng’s previous state as he could not wake up and could only lie in bed. Qi Lei got two nurses to take care of him, and he himself would come to visit two to three times a week.

At this moment, in Qi Qiming’s advanced ward, Qi Lei had just scrubbed Qi Qiming. He was already sweating like crazy by the time he finished the routine. Coincidentally, Liang Jing entered the ward as it was time for her to be on duty.

“Hey, Aunt Liang, how’s he? Has his condition improved?” Qi Lei glanced at Qi Qiming on the hospital bed and asked faintly.

Liang Jing flipped through the medical records in her hand and frowned slightly. “According to the data, it stands to reason that his situation has been improving. The blood clots in his head are disappearing, and all his body functions are returning to normal gradually. However, he’s still not showing any tendency to wake up, which is a little odd. I think his own will to survive isn’t strong. Maybe it’s because he himself doesn’t want to wake up. Let’s do a full-body inspection for him tomorrow. I did warn you to be mentally prepared before this, so…”

“I know that. Thank you, Aunt Liang.” Qi Lei did not need to listen anymore, so he interrupted.

Liang Jing nodded. “There are no thanks needed. After all, it’s my job. Oh yeah, have you seen Zimo these few days? I went to his company several times, but I didn’t run into the fella. He’s probably avoiding me deliberately.”

“Aunt Liang, Zimo has his own plan. If you keep asking him to find himself someone through a blind date, I’m afraid that he won’t like it. Especially for a person like him, fate is something very important to him. This applies to me too. There’s no way for us to accept the idea of getting married to a woman that we don’t know. We can’t guarantee the quality of the marriage. That’s why it’s impossible for us to try it out.”

“You fellas only pay attention to the so-called mutual affection and the resonance of the souls. I know, and I understand that too, but Zimo is already 33 years old this year, not 23. He’s getting older, and so is his grandfather. The old man is looking forward to him getting married and having children. He has high standards, and those women can’t make his cut. The ones I introduced him to before this aren’t bad as long as they’re not doctors or actresses in media, film, and television. Doctors are too tired to take care of him while the latter type has a rather complicated circle, which he won’t fit in.” Liang Jing knew what kind of woman would match her son.

“Moreover, you always talk about the resonance in the souls, but it’s not something that you can just discover. It’s totally not the case when it comes to me and his father. We’d only seen each other a few times. The first time was when he came to my house for a visit, the second time was when he sent me home, the third time was when I went to his house. We got engaged after that and were married within three months. Yeah, things might get rough throughout the journey, but we managed to get by, didn’t we?”

Zhou Zimo’s parents underwent a typical flash marriage. They were also considered a military marriage. Up till today, it was still popular for soldiers to marry doctors or nurses,and Liang Jing and Chief Officer Zhou were undoubtedly such a pair.

When she was young, Liang Jing was a doctor in the affiliated hospital of a military region. Chief Officer Zhou, who was still the head of the regiment, had gotten injured and was hospitalized, and that was how they met. After that, the family arranged for them to have a blind date, and then they got married. They had only known each other for less than three months when Chief Officer Zhou had already filed a marriage report, and because of that, Liang Jing could only marry him.

“You don’t know his father’s character. I wanted to return the goods and ask for a divorce in the first week after I married him. I didn’t even see any merit in him since he was always only thinking about the matters of the military regions. Ugh, forget it. Let’s not talk about such things. By the way, Qi Lei, you’re no longer young. You should take this matter to heart too.”
