Chapter 1841: Late-night Visit (2)

Dongfang Liuyun’s words were followed by an abnormally unhappy tone. Her cold voice shocked even Song Siting!

She had long known that her daughter’s aura was not inferior to hers. Now that she looked at her, she really had some traces of Dongfang Shuman. No wonder Dongfang Gan had said that Dongfang Liuyun’s aura was similar to her grandmother, Dongfang Shuman’s.

“Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you. Every time I come back, it always ends up like this. We simply can’t communicate with each other. In the future, it’s better to talk less about these things, so as to avoid ruining the mood of eating.”

Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and did not want to say anything more. She turned to look at the servant at the side and asked, “Where’s the Master?”

“The Master is upstairs, in your room, Miss.”

After receiving the news, Dongfang Liuyun walked straight up the stairs.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, outside Dongfang Liuyun’s room’s balcony—

Qi Lei stood quietly by the railing, silently looking at the scenery below. The cold wind blew continuously against his windbreaker, and as he looked at his back, he felt a little lonely.

“What are you thinking about?”

Dongfang Liuyun stood there for quite a while before walking over. Seeing that his expression was still, she asked as well.

“Nothing much. I came back quite early today. I heard some good news at noon. Do you want to celebrate tonight?”

Qi Lei did not do anything. He just averted his gaze and glanced sideways at her.

“How do you want to celebrate? Why are you here all of a sudden?”

Dongfang Liuyun reached out to help him fix his messy windbreaker as she said.

“Mother called me to come over. I thought it was something important, but she only asked me to come over to say a few words. In fact, her motive is you. You haven’t been coming over these past few days, so she doesn’t seem to feel at ease.”

Qi Lei said softly.

Hearing that, Dongfang Liuyun smiled coldly, “Why did you come over? Every time there’s an argument or a disagreement, should I come back to make things difficult for the both of us? She was a person who always argued about right and wrong, and she would always strive to be the winner. If Father is home, she could restrain herself a little. If Father isn’t home, she would have insisted on winning. I’ve been sick of it all these years.”

Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was filled with helplessness. She raised her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows in annoyance. Forget it. Let’s not argue too much with her. It’s fine as long as we don’t take it to heart.”

“There are some things that can be reconciled.”

“There’s no way to reconcile. That’s her temperament. Can you expect her to change? Fortunately, I have formed my own opinions all these years. Otherwise, I would have to listened to her arrangements and died even faster. She’s my mother. I didn’t want to criticize her too much, so I avoided her as much as I could. Naturally, I didn’t want to hurt the harmony between mother and daughter. If not, it wouldn’t be a good thing.”


Dongfang Liuyun said helplessly.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. How was your day at work? Did it go well?”

Qi Lei saw a hint of fatigue between her brows and did not want to ask too much. These things still needed to be resolved slowly.

“Fortunately, the Vice Presidents did not have any objections to me taking over Lin Yuanyuan’s position. And now, only I am more suitable to take over this position, so they naturally understand. So, they did not do anything to stop me. In addition, the end of the year is approaching, so there are many things that can not be delayed. Lin Yuanyuan was in a bad state due to the incident with the Lin family a while ago, and many things have piled up. Of course, Grandmother will not sit idly by,” replied Dongfang Liuyun.

“Because of this incident, Grandmother even reprimanded Uncle Dongfang Ren once. I think she must be very angry now.”

“Angry about what? Angry at Dongfang Yu’s instigation or angry at Dongfang Yi’s exposure?”

Qi Lei smiled disapprovingly, his eyes filled with disdain, “They say that they are not afraid of a godly opponent, but of a pig-like teammate. The Lin Corporation hasn’t been doing well in the past few years. Lin Yuanyuan should have reminded him more. He already suffered once, but he still hasn’t learned his lesson. It’s no one’s fault if Dongfang Yi catches him.”

“That’s true, but Dongfang Yi’s side…”

“Don’t worry. Dongfang Ren won’t just watch Dongfang Yi grow, and he won’t be satisfied either. Just wait and see. Take good care of the South River Project. You don’t have to worry too much about the rest.”

As Qi Lei said this, he reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulders.

“If I don’t worry, would you worry about it for me?”

Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him.

Qi Lei looked back at her, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

“Did Mother make things difficult for you just now?”

Dongfang Liuyun still asked with some worry.

Qi Lei squinted at her and chuckled. “How do you think Mother can make things difficult for me?”

“I…”

“I wanted to continue just now, but seeing that you don’t look too good, I didn’t continue this topic. I know that this matter is a knot in your heart. We’re not in a hurry. We’ll slowly resolve it. One day, we’ll resolve it.”

As Qi Lei spoke, he pulled her into his embrace and hugged her from behind. A faint warmth came through his chest. Dongfang Liuyun, who was cold all over, could feel the warmth of a man’s body.

“Are you cold?”

Qi Lei gently held her hands that were slightly cold and asked softly.

“It’s fine. It’s only late autumn, so it’s not as cold as winter. City Z isn’t a city that snows. At this time in the northwest, the temperature is also below zero.”

Dongfang Liuyun was enjoying the rare moment of warmth. She leaned gently against him and looked at the dim street lights below, “Do you know, I’m actually quite afraid of the cold. But someone once said that those who are afraid of the cold must have a cold heart. I think it sounds ridiculous. At least I feel that my heart is warm. and the more afraid I am of the cold, the colder it is. So whenever I feel cold, I grit my teeth and carry it.”

“What does cold have to do with the heart? Do people always like to randomly use metaphors to figure things out in order to show off their knowledge? Let’s not be that kind of person who moans and moans. I only know that if you’re cold, you’ll catch a cold easily. When that happens, you’ll have to bear it yourself. As for whether your heart is cold or not, it has nothing to do with this.”

Qi Lei said disapprovingly and hugged her even tighter. Their hands, which were originally cold to each other, were gently clasped together. At this moment, they could actually feel a sense of warmth.

“You’re right. I haven’t spent much time in City Z these past few years. It’s been a long time since I’ve truly experienced autumn in City Z. I remember when I was young, we used to love to go to Yunshan to look at the maple trees during this season… the maple trees all over the mountains and plains are beautiful. From afar, they look like burning clouds…”
