Later, the husband and wife bowed three times to Wang Qin tacitly. This was the first time that Dongfang Liuyun met the members of the Qi family as Qi Lei's wife, but...
After staying for a while, the husband and wife left.
Coming out of the cemetery, it was already evening, the rain had stopped, but there was some sunshine, but the air was still hot and dull, and it was estimated that it would still rain in the future.
The couple went home directly, and bought some good food at the supermarket near the villa area.
Back home, Dongfang Liuyun was rarely interested in showing off his skills. Qi Lei was naturally extremely happy, so he leisurely watched TV in the living room, waiting for Dongfang Liuyun's dinner.
After more than an hour, the food was served directly on the table.
"Don't forget the promise you made with Dad tomorrow, he doesn't like people who don't have a sense of time."
When serving soup to Qi Lei, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly reminded him.
"Don't worry, I am very concerned about this matter."
Qi Lei took it over, agreed with this sentence, and enjoyed a few sips of it.
"It's better to be careful, otherwise it will not be easy for you to pass the test over there. Although I disapprove of the behavior of the Dongfang family, there are some things that I can't change for the time being. You need to get along well with Dad. I have been We get along very well with Dad, our relationship is not only a father-daughter relationship, but also a teacher and a friend, he usually respects my choice, so since he can ask you out like this, it means that he still recognizes you .”
Dongfang Liuyun said.
"Are you so worried that your parents won't recognize me?"
Qi Lei stopped his movements and looked at her meaningfully.
She didn't react much, she still lowered her head and drank her soup, "If they don't recognize you, we will need more time to deal with them, so what do you say?"
Qi Lei listened, then suddenly smiled, nodded happily, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for us."
…
The night gradually deepened, and the city near midnight was much quieter than during the day, especially in this kind of weather, the bright lights on weekdays were much dimmer than before.
Lan Xiu stood on the balcony outside the study, quietly looking at the street lights below, there was a trace of sadness that he didn't even notice between his brows, and he was still holding an open document in his hand,
"Mr. Lan, I just found out that at the end of last month, Ms. Dongfang and Mr. Qi from Taiyu Huabang had registered their marriage, and, a few days ago, they had gone back to meet Mr. Lan and Mrs. Lan... "
Ali said cautiously, looking at Lan Xiu's face, he found that his face had turned a little pale, and there was also an inexplicable trace of... loneliness, or sadness in his black eyes
"I see, there is no need to say any more."
Lan Xiu's low voice came over, and the hands holding the railing in front of him were tightened—
He couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, he could only feel numbly that a wave of dull pain was coming, a dark suffocation feeling, which almost took away all his sanity and breath.
In fact, he should have guessed it then.
get married
Dongfang Liuyun, are you still...
"Boss Lan, are you okay?"
Ali, who was standing behind him, asked worriedly, and stepped forward to support Lan Xiu.
But Lan Xiu raised his hand to stop him, "It's okay, you go down first."
"Mr. Lan, your cold is better. It's so late, you should take a rest first, so as not to make it worse. Let Miss Dongfang come over tomorrow, maybe you can find out what's going on."
Ali lowered his voice and said.
"You go back first, I know it myself."
Lan Xiu said indifferently, his tone was a bit cold, Ali knew Lan Xiu's temperament well, so he turned around and left directly.
Hearing the sound of closing the door from inside, Lan Xiu brushed his five fingers across his scalp, pressing down on his suddenly painful head, and he felt a little dazed...
He wanted to call her, but he held back, even knowing that he pressed that button, he could hear her voice right away...
…
Dongfang Liuyun didn't expect that Lan Xiu would find him directly, and she would go down the next day. She had just finished reading the information at hand, and the two agreed to meet in a coffee shop near the Dongfang Group.
Looks like he's in a bit of a bad situation—
His face was a little haggard and pale, and when she looked at it, she frowned in an instant, walked over a few steps, and sat down opposite him.
"How did you make it look like this? Have you been busy recently?"
The tone of concern was the same as before, so simple and natural.
Lan Xiu directly ordered her a cup of scented tea to warm her stomach, and when she sat down, the waiter brought it just in time.
Seeing her lowering her head and taking a sip of herbal tea, Lan Xiu also picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip. The melancholy in her black eyes could not be concealed. After looking at her for a long time, she whispered, "I have a cold, it's okay, you How are you doing recently? Looks pretty good."
"I'm fine. You have to take care of your body, and you're not rushing to be a top big shot. Didn't we all say that we shouldn't work too hard? Originally speaking, I should find you. You came here first."
Dongfang Liuyun gently held the cup with one hand, lowered his eyes lightly.
"I thought if I didn't look for you, you wouldn't look for me either."
Lan Xiu looked at her with a desolate tone. After thinking for a while, he continued, "The second night after I came back, I was waiting for you downstairs in your company. I wanted to give you a surprise, but didn't you?" Thinking about it, you gave me a surprise."
After Lan Xiu said this, Dongfang Liuyun also paused, raised his eyes to look at him, thought for a while, as if suddenly thought of something, and asked—
"Is it about my marriage to Qi Lei?"
There was no disturbance in the calm tone, Dongfang Liuyun also lowered his head, took another sip of tea, and continued, "I said I wanted to find you, and I wanted to tell you about this .The day after you rejected me, I agreed to his marriage proposal."
"Why? You don't like him at all, but you still promise him?"
Lan Xiu tightened his hands slightly, looking at Dongfang Liuyun's calm face, "Why isn't that person me? Liuyun...why not me? You know..."
"You know the reason, Lan Xiu, you are right, if you really agreed to me at the beginning, many things would have changed, we are so familiar with each other, you know me very well, and I know you very well. "
Although the words were said like this, it was like a sharp blade that fell into Lan Xiu's heart at once...
