“No, Liuyun, I... ”
Lan Xiu wanted to say sothing, but Dongfang Liuyun had already raised her hand to stop him—
“Besides, I’m afraid there’s no chance now. You’re my most respected friend and companion. I hope that you can live authentically, happily, and not sell your marriage out of sympathy. You’ve had it tough these past few years. We even agreed that when you get married, I would at least prepare a generous gift for you. I’ve already prepared the gift, but I haven’t had the chance to give it away yet... ”
“Liuyun! You know very well that I don’t have any sympathy for you, you know my feelings for you, but... With my abilities now I should be able to protect you, I can protect you and not be like before. I can do better, why do you... ”
Lan Xiu’s dark eyes were filled with traces of pain. He reached out and grabbed Dongfang Liuyun’s shoulders, locking onto her cold eyes tightly—
However, in those eyes, he could only see a calmness, or a sense of helplessness and disappointnt in the depths of her eyes...
“You know the reason. You’re great, Lan Xiu. I know, but as you said, we’re more suited to be best friends or confidants. I shouldn’t have asked that of you. At least, we can get along more at ease now, still the sa as before.”
“I was crazy to have refused, Liuyun.”
“Alright, Lan Xiu. Don’t bring this up again in the future. You go to the airport first, don’t make Mr. Ge anxious, it wasn’t easy to persuade him. This thing can’t be wasted just like that. Ah Li, send your President Lan to the airport imdiately, I’ll give Mr. Ge a call. If we make it at this ti, we should be able to make it through the express ring. If anything, we’ll talk when we get back.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was very determined. As she spoke, she took out her phone and called Mr. Ge, when the call was answered, it was Mr. Ge...
“Liuyun... ”
“I just don’t want my previous efforts to be in vain.” Dongfang Liuyun had a simple conversation with Mr. Ge on the other end, then hung up the phone and said to Lan Xiu, “But, thank you for your concern. I’m doing well, and I will continue to be. When there’s a need, I won’t be courteous with you. Alright, go now. Co to my house again when you’re back, my father misses you quite a lot.”
“Yes, President Lan, let’s go quickly. It’s still not too late to rush over now. You can talk when we get back.”
This ti, Ah Li also went forward to ask for instructions.
At this mont, Lan Xiu took a deep look at Dongfang Liuyun. Finally, he could only pull his hands back, his gaze darkening, “Alright, we’ll talk about it when I get back then. Liuyun, there are so truths that you’ve known all along. We may not be able to choose those that we’re willing to hear or see... it’s just that we’re unwilling to face them head-on. For instance, how I feel about you... ”
At this point, Lan Xiu paused for a mont. Finally, he could only take a deep breath and walk towards the ward at the side. He stood at the door and looked at Dongfang Gan, who was lying on the hospital bed. After a long while, he finally turned around and left. However, unexpectedly, he had just taken a few steps forward when he saw two tall and upright figures.
The two of them walked forward one after the other. The handso man in front of them looked very familiar to him. When Lan Xiu walked past him, he took another look at him, Qi Lei, who walked past him, also subconsciously frowned—
Lan Xiu?
Why was he here?
How did he find out about the news so quickly?
However, he quickly reacted. When he was about to cross over, he politely nodded at Lan Xiu. Lan Xiu was stunned for a mont, but then he politely returned the greeting.
“Master Qi, this chicken drumstick seems quite fragrant. Missus will definitely like it. Do you want to buy one for you? Also, I bought so congee for the President, it’s kept in a thermos bottle to keep warm, it’ll be perfect for him to have when he wakes up.”
Yang Sheng suddenly said as he walked over and the two of them took two more steps each.
“There’s no need. He’ll only wake up in the morning, you can prepare it then, it’ll be fresher,” Qi Lei replied.
However, as soon as he said this, Lan Xiu heard it and subconsciously stopped walking. He had a feeling that sothing was wrong, but when he thought about it, there did not seem to be anything unusual. He did not have ti to think too much, Ah Li had already urged him as he said, “President Lan, don’t worry, we’ll get the South River Project done soon. Also, that person seems to be President Qi from Tai Yu Corporation. Previously, he was Second Master Qi from Qi Kai Group. This ti, Dongfang Ren is trying his best to rope him in. The South River Project Phase One that he’s partnering with Glory World Group is about to be completed. They all want to get this project.”
“I’ve heard of this person before. He seems to be very close to Mu Yuchen, Su Chen, and the others.”
“Of course, including President Xi from Fuhua Real Estate. She’s also a good friend of his. Her background is formidable too. They are capable of shutting down many companies within a few hours. Otherwise, Dongfang Ren wouldn’t be so eager to befriend him.”
Ah Li was quite familiar with the matters within the circle, so he could easily tell Lan Xiu about Qi Lei’s general situation, “However, I heard that President Qi seems to be very cold and doesn’t really like Dongfang Ren. Dongfang Rou’er has arranged several appointnts, but she still hasn’t been able to get an appointnt with him. It must be about the South River Project.”
“This kind of person isn’t a short-sighted person. There are still rumors in the industry about the Qi family. For him to be able to go from being a useless hedonistic Young Master to where he is today, it’s naturally not that simple. Moreover, those matters have nothing to do with us. We don’t need to pay too much attention to them,”?reminded Lan Xiu.
Ah Li nodded. “I understand, President Lan. But Miss Dongfang is about to enter the Dongfang group to work. Don’t we need to... ”
“She always has her own ideas when doing things. We’ll just watch. If there’s anything we need to help with, we’ll help.”
Lan Xiu did not look too happy. He could sense Dongfang Liuyun’s attitude—
She probably would not give him that chance.
Sotis, once an opportunity was lost, it was gone for good. Perhaps, relationships were just like that, indecisive and instead...
Of course, Lan Xiu would not know what he had lost. He thought that... it seed like he could no longer expect of anything...
..
“He knows? ”
Looking in the direction where Lan Xiu had disappeared, Qi Lei asked in a lowered voice as he handed her a fragrant roasted chicken drumstick and a cup of warm water.
“Mm, he must have gotten the news from Ah Fei.”
Dongfang Liuyun accepted it without hesitation and replied...
