The fair and tender baby had eyes that looked like Ah Mo. Other than that, she did not seem to see hints of Mu Lingshi.
“Mmm, it’s a pity that she’s not a girl. Otherwise, I could really think about having her to be for Xiao Rui’s wife in the future.”
Mu Yuchen stared at the photo for a while before he said thoughtfully.
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye suddenly smiled, “In your dreams. You said it yourself before, let the children make their own decisions. Don’t get involved in matchmaking the children for marriages anymore. If the children grow up in the future and can’t make their own decisions for relationships… ”
“How do you know that if that’s really the case, Xiao Rui won’t like it? Relationships also need to be nurtured, just like us.”
“Our situation is different. Didn’t you not like Gu Lingsha back then? Come to think of it, she’s considered your arranged wife.”
She glanced at him and put her phone away.
“But speaking of her, I’m a little worried about Wei’er. Will she be affected by these things when she grows up? ”
“Teach her well and do your best. Of course I hope that she can recover from this trauma.”
“Yes, she’s just a child… ”
..
Qixi arrived as promised. Early in the morning, Yang Sheng and a few bodyguards in black rushed over. Of course, they also prepared a lot of gifts!
Today was Master Qi’s first visit to his in-laws. He naturally had to make more plans for this matter, and he had to be cautious!
Yang Sheng did not sleep at all last night. He asked his wife for help about today’s matter. He recalled the first time he went to his mother-in-law’s house, how it was, and what gifts and red packets he should have prepared, he confirmed them one by one and personally checked them. It was as if Qi Lei was going to his mother-in-law’s house to send betrothal gifts. Early in the morning, he only had a few mouthfuls of porridge for breakfast before heading straight to Grand Lake Villa District.
On the side of Grand Lake Villa, Dongfang Liuyun only got up after Yang Sheng arrived. When she finished packing and went downstairs, Yang Sheng had already brought out delicious breakfast from the kitchen, Qi Lei changed into a slightly more formal outfit as he sat on the sofa and flipped through the morning paper—
He had fine black hair, a handsome face that did not lose its delicate features, straight casual pants, a black shirt, and gorgeous crystal cuffs that were slightly rolled up. He looked quite spirited and handsome.
‘Tap Tap Tap’
When he heard footsteps coming from the stairs, Qi lei slowly lifted his head from the newspaper and looked in the direction of the sound—
Her long, beautiful hair was casually tied up with a simple hair clip, revealing a delicate face. It was beautiful and light, and her eyes were bright like stars. The few strands of bangs that fell down revealed a different kind of messy beauty, inside was a beige plain strapless dress, paired with a long black muslin shawl.
This kind of accessories worn on her undoubtedly showed a cold and aloof air. Qi Lei knew that she did not usually smile. This kind of her reminded him of the first time he saw her. At that time, she seemed to be the same at De Bao House, however…
She was very beautiful. She was even the most beautiful and unique woman he had ever seen.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to give her a look of appreciation!
Sensing his gaze, Dongfang Liuyun also glanced at him before going downstairs unhurriedly.
“Hello, Missus!” Yang Sheng smiled as he looked at Dongfang Liuyun who was walking down the stairs and greeted her respectfully.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded politely at him, “Good morning. Why are you so early? It’s Qixi Festival today.”
She knew that Yang Sheng was Qi Lei’s special assistant and was loyal to Qi Lei, so Dongfang Liuyun respected him very much. She did not hesitate to give him a smile.
“I know that today is a special day, so I couldn’t prepare much in time. I was so excited last night that I couldn’t sleep, so I woke up early in the morning. Master Qi, Missus, you guys have breakfast first. I’ll go check on the preparations.”
Yang Sheng pulled out the chairs for the two of them and quickly disappeared out the door.
“You should be glad that you have such a good assistant. He’s a good person.”
Seeing Yang Sheng’s figure disappear outside the door, Dongfang Liuyun said this as she sat down beside him.
Qi Lei walked over and sat across her. He took a wet towel and wiped his hands, “He’s a very good person and very loyal. On this point, I need to be grateful to my dead mother.”
“Your mother really loved you. You should be grateful to her.”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him and poured him some fruit juice. “The mid-autumn Festival is just a few days after Qixi. When the time comes, go pay your respects.”
Qi Lei listened and was silent for a moment. Then, he said softly, “Okay, I was going to tell you about this. Before she left, she was also thinking about my marriage. If you were her daughter-in-law, I think she’d be very satisfied.”
Wang Qin had high expectations for her daughter-in-law. It was not because of her origins or family background. Otherwise, she would not have objected to Gu Lingsha’s good qualities. On the contrary, she valued quality more. She wanted to protect her son, Gu Lingsha was not liked by Wang Qin because Wang Qin looked down on Gu Lingsha from the bottom of her heart, so…
“Make the arrangements. Don’t think about it. Eat some. These snacks are pretty good.”
Seeing that his eyes were a little gloomy, Dongfang Liuyun did not want to continue this topic. She moved the stack of snacks in front of him to him, “Treat yourself well. It’s the greatest comfort to the dead. Everything will get better.”
Hearing her words, Qi Lei was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he looked up. His handsome face had already softened. “Everything will get better. At least for now, there is some hope.”
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly smiled and picked up a spring roll from the plate in front of him with his chopsticks, “There’s nothing wrong with looking forward to the future. At least, I’m full of confidence. Life is like this. If I avoid it, I’ll only fall further. I’ll face it head-on and strive to be better. Even if I don’t gain much, at least if I work hard, I’ll be able to feel at ease. A strong person must have a strong heart and know to motivate himself when he’s down and out. Qi Lei, I hope you’re such a person, and I’m also expecting this of myself as well.”
Qi Lei listened and nodded happily, “You’re right. A person like that needs a strong heart that cannot be broken. Even if I’m a little Ah Q[1], it’s still good, no need to live life so tiredly. Thank you for the lesson, Missus Qi!”
He raised his cup to her.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and smiled happily. She also raised her cup swiftly, “You too!”
