A night without dreams, feeling uncomfortable, Dongfang Liuyun slept a little more lightly than before, so he woke up early in the morning, changed into gray casual clothes, and went downstairs directly after washing up. Wang Ma and the others just got up.
They lived with the servants in a small bungalow next to the villa, and Qi Lei didn't really like having someone take care of them before, so the housekeeper specially arranged this.
However, when they came down, they happened to see Wang Ma preparing to make breakfast. Dongfang Liuyun told her to come by himself, and Wang Ma also left the kitchen with a smile.
When Qi Lei woke up, naturally the woman beside him had disappeared, he also quickly got up to wash and put on a clean casual clothes, and then went downstairs unhurriedly.
"Good morning!"
Dongfang Liuyun, who was preparing breakfast and pouring fruit juice into the glass, didn't look back when he heard the sound coming from the stairs, but spoke directly.
"Why do you get up so early? Just leave these things to Wang Ma."
Qi Lei walked down the stairs, walked over in a few strides, directly took the juice in her hand, took a deep look at her, and saw that her face was no longer as pale as last night, and returned to the usual calm and indifferent , and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"I went out to buy vegetables. I heard in the front yard just now that the students are on summer vacation. Wang Ma's grandson is in the country. It's time for the holiday. Why don't you let her go back and visit her? Anyway, I don't need anyone at home. Take care, it would be nice to come back after the summer vacation."
Dongfang Liuyun turned his head, raised his star eyes to look at him, and said.
His eyes were quiet for a moment, and he nodded happily, "It's up to you, I'll tell the butler later."
As he spoke, he also sat down.
"Remember to give her some rewards. I heard that she has been with your mother for a long time."
Dongfang Liuyun poured him another glass of juice, and then sat down opposite him.
"So you know how to be considerate of them?"
As if he had noticed something, he raised the corner of his mouth and gave her a sidelong glance.
"Did you see it? I think friendship between people is mutual, not to mention that I will live with you for many years in the future, and I will not stop doing the benefits that can be obtained with a little effort."
Dongfang Liuyun didn't hide his thoughts at all, but he answered very calmly, as he spoke, he also handed Qi Lei the half bowl of millet porridge he just filled.
Qi Lei naturally took it very unceremoniously, looked down at the porridge in the bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and without looking at her, replied, "Very good, grind yourself into a businessman's mind and face , but I strongly agree with what you said."
"You mean, I'm fit to be a brazen businessman like you?"
"No, you are only suitable to be an unfathomable top-quality businessman. It should be someone like me who has the audacity to say that."
Facing her scrutinizing eyes, Qi Lei replied without hesitation, but she gave him a sideways glance, and the corner of her mouth curled into an arc, before she lowered her head and enjoyed her breakfast.
"What are you going to do today?"
When the preparations were over, he suddenly raised his head to look at her and asked.
Dongfang Liuyun didn't pause, but replied calmly, "Tomorrow is a big day, so we must prepare some presents."
"The engagement banquet between Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou'er?"
Qi Lei's mind quickly flashed through the red invitation card she flipped through last night.
"Well, of course. I have to go back and see."
"The things in your family seem to really make you worry."
Qi Lei seemed to be deeply moved, but he glanced at her meaningfully.
At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun paused for a while, and after a while, she smiled, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, otherwise what do you think? Especially for a big family like ours, but, I've been living like this since I was a child, and I'm used to it. Anyway, I'll give you a rough overview of the Dongfang family's relationship, and I'll upload it to your computer at night."
Qi Lei nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is almost nothing wrong with my family, you know everything, except..."
Later, I wanted to say something, but now that I think about it, it seems that there is no such need. After a pause, I didn't continue to say anything later, and Dongfang Liuyun raised his eyes and looked at him, thinking for a while , replied, "I can roughly understand your situation. In fact, you are living a quiet life now. Marrying me may not be a good choice for you. It is undeniable that your conditions are enough to choose to a lot of nice women."
"So, take it as if you earned it."
Qi Lei smiled, stretched out his hand to pull a piece of table paper beside him, wiped his mouth gracefully, looked at her with deep eyes, "Besides, I'm not just any woman, I should have tasted it, I also try them all, if the object is you, I don't mind working harder, because... "
"Because, we were partners and allies before, and you don't love me, I know. I don't know that we are so hard together now, it has nothing to do with love, and I don't know if it is right, but, some Things, it always needs to be practiced, so since we have all chosen, we can only gamble."
Dongfang Liuyun took a shallow breath, suddenly picked up the cup, his eyes were in a daze, and then he continued, "Don't worry, I, Dongfang Liuyun, am not a hypocritical woman. Since I dare to marry you, I have already done it in my heart. After all the preparations, if you don't blindly pursue love, I think I will be very suitable for you."
She raised the cup in her hand and respected him.
However, Qi Lei was a little surprised when he heard her say that, and the way he looked at her became a little unpredictable——
If not blindly pursuing something of love
Well, if...
"What if I'm really after love? Can't you give it to me?"
After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't help asking, and his eyes were tightly locked on her faint starry eyes, not wanting to miss a trace of changing emotions in her eyes.
When these words were asked, Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a while, and after a long silence, he put down the cup in his hand again, lowered his eyelids silently, and raised them to look at him after a long while. Candidly, "Because of this thing, I don't know if I still have it. I feel that if I can't even give it to myself, how can I give it to others?"
"Besides, we... are allies, a husband and wife relationship of comrades-in-arms, which is actually a good choice, but I have wronged you a little."
