Qi Lei turned on the speaker and continued enjoying his noodles as he asked his question.

Dongfang Liuyun said softly, “I wasn’t going to call, but I didn’t think it was appropriate not to, so I did. Since you also mentioned carrying out my role, it means I do have such a responsibility.”

Qi Lei paused but did not answer.

“What are your parents’ standards for a son-in-law?”

He suddenly remembered Song Siting, whom he had met at the airport this morning. She looked like an extraordinary woman who had set high standards for herself and her daughter, so she probably had high standards for her son-in-law as well.

As soon as he asked this, Dongfang Liuyun paused and smiled. “Why? Are you worried that you can’t get through my parents?”

“I obviously have my worries. Since I’m now their son-in-law, I have to be someone they will be proud of. Now tell me so that I can make all the necessary preparations in advance. It’s going to be Chinese Valentine’s Day soon after all,” Qi Lei replied.

He seldom spent his time dealing with things like that, and he had never thought about pleasing or honoring his parents before. Now that he had parents-in-law, he certainly had to spend more effort and time to make a good first impression.

“As I told you, there’s no way to communicate with my mother. You just need to be polite to her. My father is a very kind person. He’s a friendly old gentleman, so you don’t need to worry much about that. ”

“Tell me about their hobbies,” Qi Lei said with persistence in his tone and his eyes flickered.

Dongfang Liuyun was sitting in a car on her way back to the hotel at the time. When she heard his question, she raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. After thinking about it for a while, she replied calmly, “Mother believes in Buddhism. I think it’s probably because she’s committed too much evil.”

A hint of sarcasm could be heard in her tone, but Qi Lei found it a little strange. He remembered the haggard and weary Song Siting he had seen that morning.

After a pause, he was about to say something but Dongfang Liuyun continued, “My father likes antiques, especially sculptures. If it weren’t for his identity, I think he would’ve been a master sculptor. However, he had to give up on his dream in the end.”

When she spoke about this, she seemed to suddenly remember something that made her sigh. “Do you remember what I said about you? Actually, I can see my father in you sometimes. There are too many people who had to give in to destiny, and that includes my father and you, even myself. We were given a life that we had to live, and it’s actually very unfair for us humans. I think we were all born to enrich our lives and change our destinies.”

He heard what she said, and at that moment, he suddenly felt like he found his purpose. Warmth flooded his heart. He rarely understood this kind of feeling, but he was glad that she could think this way.

“But I’m not your father. I’m your…husband and your life partner,” Qi Lei reminded her.

Dongfang Liuyun was in a daze as she looked outside of the car window and she chuckled. “I know. Let me tell you the truth. I actually felt sympathetic towards you at the beginning because of what happened to you and your personality. However, I thought about myself and suddenly realized that it felt like the pot calling the kettle black.”

“Talking to you is no fun at all. It feels like I’m being observed because you’re so sharp and that leaves me nowhere to escape to, Mrs. Qi.”

When he heard that, he smiled indifferently as he swallowed the food in his mouth. “Mrs. Qi” did not sound odd at all. “To be honest, I feel like nobody in front of you.”

“You’re a rising star in the business, and I can’t ever compare to that. Also, aside from having any sense of accomplishment, I’m just a woman no matter how powerful I am. Women are inherently weaker compared to men,” she said modestly.

Qi Lei felt comfortable talking to her. He agreed, “I also agree that by nature, women should be protected, but I’m very curious why someone like you would feel this way too.”

“Well, can’t I?” she asked back.

“That’s not what I meant. I just think…” Qi Lei wanted to explain something, but he did not know what else he could say, so he gave up.

Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything at all. They were silent for a while, but Qi Lei ended up reaching for the phone. “It’s late now, so go back early and get some rest. By the way, I’m a little busy these days, so I may not go online. As for the equipment, you can just log in to my account and send it as a gift or transfer it to yourself. The password is ‘easterngust’ in lowercase plus the first four digits of my phone number.”

“Okay, got it. If I go online, I’ll help you with your account too,” she smiled and replied.

“Okay.”

“Anyway, enjoy your noodles. Bye.”

After the phone call ended like that, he could not really tell what he felt. Qi Lei felt that he was probably feeling joy because he realized that there was someone thinking about him. Therefore, no matter what reason it was, he felt elated.

It was much better than not having anyone who cared about him and being forgotten by everyone.

‘She’s a good woman, so you should treat her well. If she can really be with you till the end, you should be willing to give her everything…’ Qi Lei said to himself in his heart.

He had to admit that sometimes, he was also afraid of loneliness because he was alone…

After pondering for a long time, he took a breath and calmed down a little before lowering his head to finish the noodles in his bowl. However, at this very moment, it was not just him who had thoughts running through his head.

Inside the car, Dongfang Liuyun silently squeezed her phone as she looked at the darkened phone screen in her hand.

“Miss Dongfang, shall we go back to the hotel now?” the driver in front suddenly asked.

She snapped out of her trance and turned her head to take a look at the street outside before responding, “Go back now.”

“Mr. Ge and the rest are waiting for you in Dynamic Entertainment City. When the salon is over, they will be taking a trip to the Maldives. They’ll probably discuss some travel plans…”

“Go back and tell your boss that I’ll return to City Z immediately after the salon. Mr. Lan Xiu will come personally in a few days,” Dongfang Liuyun cut the driver off.
