Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun rested at home for a few days in a row. They seemed to be in good spirits after their leave.
Their work efficiency was also very high during the week.
Dongfang Liuyun was still the same as usual. Occasionally, she would drop Qi Lei off at his company before rushing to Dongfang Group. When she got off work at night, Qi Lei would be so busy that he would wait for her to rush over.
Both husband and wife left early and returned late.
However, the two of them were getting more and more in sync. Be it in the game, in life, or at work.
Sometimes, Dongfang Liuyun had to admit that Qi Lei seemed to be here to coordinate with her life and work.
They had the same hobbies, played the same games, and were now handling and participating in the same project.
Before Dongfang Gan left, he had gotten Ah Fei to give Dongfang Liuyun all the information on the South River Project. This project was not small, and they were now working on a preliminary plan. When Dongfang Gan returns to finalize the contract, they could start construction.
Dongfang Liuyun was doing Dongfang Gan’s work, so it was naturally not easy.
At this moment, the sky had already turned dark, and it was time for the lights to turn on outside.
In Qi Lei’s office.
Qi Lei was sitting in front of his desk, still busy with his work. Dongfang Liuyun was sitting on the sofa across him, she was also working away at the computer in front of her. The office was very quiet. All that could be heard was the sound of typing on the keyboard, the light that filled the room was also very warm.
After a long while, Dongfang Liuyun’s faint feminine voice was suddenly heard—
“I’ve sent you one of the data, can you help me see what’s wrong.”
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she did not even look up, though Qi Lei did raise his gaze and glance at her.
“Okay.”
After replying, he pulled a chair over and looked at the computer screen at the side.
Qi Lei was focused on the screen. He helped her make some changes. It took him about half an hour before he was done. He sent it back to her. “Just verify it and it’ll be done.”
Dongfang Liuyun nodded and subconsciously glanced at the time on the screen. When she saw that the hour hand was already past nine, she realized that it was already late.
However, she did not feel hungry. Yang Sheng had brought food for the husband and wife just now. The two of them made do with it and ate. Dongfang Liuyun even drank some soup after that, and helped clean off Qi Lei’s portion too, so she felt pretty good.
However, she felt a little tired. After dealing with these things continuously for a few days, she was a little worn out.
“It’s about time to pack up. Let’s go soak in the hot spring. I think we’ve been working too hard recently, let’s go and relax, full body health care, your treat! It’s our off day tomorrow anyway.”
Dongfang Liuyun closed the notebook in front of her with one hand and slowly stood up.
“The hot spring club?” Qi Lei looked up at her and asked.
Dongfang Liuyun had already started to pack up the things in front of her.
“Sure. Hurry up and pack up!”
Qi Lei then unhurriedly closed his computer and packed up the documents. Dongfang Liuyun also came over to help him get his coat and held the car keys in one hand.
The couple quickly left the company and went straight to the hot spring club.
This was a place that the couple frequented.
Before the couple got married, they had been regular customers here as they had good service. Now, the couple just used the VIP room that Qi Lei had reserved previously.
However, Qi Lei definitely would not call a handsome young man for Dongfang Liuyun. He only called those skilled aunties for her while he drank tea and smoked while waiting for Dongfang Liuyun.
Of course, the husband and wife would also be chatting, just like now.
“Are you really not going to call one? The new girls here are all pretty skilled. It’s good for your cervical vertebrae if you massage it more. I massaged it for you last night. It’s very congested.”
Dongfang Liuyun lay on her belly, allowing the technician to massage her. She looked up slightly at Qi Lei who was flipping through a magazine while smoking leisurely.
Qi Lei flicked the ash from his cigarette and did not look at her. His gaze was still on the magazine in front of him, but his deep voice traveled over
“Enjoy yours.”
Dongfang Liuyun frowned and did not continue. She thought for a moment and said, “Go to the hospital tomorrow.”
At this, Qi Lei paused. He silently raised his gaze and looked over—
“Are you trying to be a good daughter-in-law?”
There was a hint of mockery in his voice.
Dongfang Liuyun’s brows furrowed even deeper. After a while, he said calmly, “You can think whatever you want. If it makes you feel superior, I don’t mind.”
Dongfang Liuyun smiled calmly.
Qi Lei smiled as well. He lowered his eyes and continued reading his magazine while saying, “I’ll go over tomorrow morning. Coincidentally, the doctor is going to conduct a routine check-up on him.”
Qi Lei’s tone was indifferent. There was no emotion in his voice. He was not sure how he felt about Qi Qiming anymore. Whether he woke up or not was not something he could decide. If Qi Qiming decided not to wake up, what could he do?
“He’ll wake up.”
Seeing that his brows were slightly furrowed, Dongfang Liuyun said so.
“It doesn’t matter to me whether he wakes up or not. It doesn’t make much of a difference. No need to worry about him, the only person you married is me.”
Qi Lei did not even lift his eyes as he said this coldly, “I don’t really like listening to reasons and explanations. You might not know much about the Qi family’s matters, when I have some free time, I’ll explain it all to you if you’re interested.”
Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment and did not say anything else. The couple fell silent.
For some reason, he suddenly realized that they both had problematic childhoods. Thinking of this, Dongfang Liuyun felt a little uncomfortable.
“On many things, our beliefs and standpoints are different from theirs, so there are some things that we can’t say are right or wrong. If we can’t explain it clearly, we don’t have to explain it deliberately. We have to distinguish between right and wrong. Moreover, not everything can be said to be right or wrong. I’ve never believed that dialectics can be applied to the subjective world with standpoints,” said Dongfang Liuyun calmly.
Qi Lei knew that she was probably referring to the problem between her and her mother, Song Siting. Thinking about it, was it not the same between him and Wang Qin back then? As for Qi Qiming right now, Qi Lei really could not say how he felt.
After extinguishing the cigarette between his fingers, Qi Lei was silent for a moment before replying, “It’s precisely because of this that it’s easy for conflicts to arise. If you insist on a different stance, you’ll have different perspectives to consider the problem. Not everyone can understand each other. I’m used to it. You won’t be playing this kind of feelings card with me in the future, right?”
