She did not say anything and allowed him to hold onto her hand. When her palm felt warm, she reached out her idle hand and gently covered the back of his slightly cold hand. She did not say anything.
After thinking for a long ti, she replied, “There’s no need for God to watch over us, for most of these things, we’d be the ones managing and maintaining ourselves.”
“That’s true. We’re not people who believe in fate. Thank you, Mrs. Qi.”
His handso face showed so gentleness as he looked at her quietly.
She lowered her eyes and smiled happily. “President Qi, you’re too courteous.”
“I won’t be courteous then?”
He looked at the gentleness on her face and suddenly smiled evilly. Before Dongfang Liuyun could react, a cold kiss had already landed on her lips.
Dongfang Liuyun paused for a mont before pushing him away. “Are you planning an attack?”
“Didn’t you say that I was being too courteous?”
“I’ll send you down to fish—”
With that, she got up and pushed him into the waves that surged forward. The splashing waves drenched Qi Lei. However, Qi Lei was quick enough to reach out and pull her, the two of them fell into the waves.
Dongfang Liuyun was drenched as well. She glanced at Qi Lei and splashed water on him. The sound of them running and laughing could be heard from the beach. Under the silent sky, this mont seed to be frozen in ti.
The couple played until the sky fell silent before leaving. However, when they returned, it was Qi Lei who carried Dongfang Liuyun back. Both of their clothes were soaked, but Dongfang Liuyun was still wearing his coat.
“Mrs. Qi, how much do you weigh? You don’t feel too heavy.”
Qi Lei guessed and asked with so doubt.
“Net weight is more than three digits. I have muscles, so I look smaller.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not care about discussing weight. She answered, thought about it, and asked again, “What about you? How much do you weigh?”
“130, not a pound less.” He did not mind.
“You’re too skinny. With your physique, you need around 150 to be considered normal.”
As she spoke, she reached out and touched his waist.
“So fat? I’m afraid that you’ll be scared when you see sothing like that sleeping next to you when you wake up at night. My figure is pretty good.”
Qi Lei was confident in this aspect.
“To be portly is a prosperous look. You’ll be like that in the future.”
“Impossible! I want to maintain this figure forever.”
“Haven’t you noticed that your belly has gotten fatter recently? I rember that you used to wear the gray casual pants with a belt, but now you don’t need it anymore.”
Dongfang Liuyun was very observant and quickly told Qi Lei the truth.
Qi Lei was quick-witted. He paused for a mont before stopping in his tracks. He subconsciously reached for his waist—
“Really? That’s impossible!”
“Don’t deny it. I didn’t say that I dislike you anyway. subconsciously, I prefer a man who’s a little chubby.”
“You have a strong taste! Miss Dongfang, actually, I have sothing to tell you too.”
“Hmm? Tell .”
“Your chest is a little small, it looks like...”
“Shut up!”
...
The couple bickered their way back along the street. The place they stayed at night was an inn by the river. The atmosphere felt good. The bedroom was on the second floor. When they pushed open the window, they could see the sea view across from them. The lights were brilliant and there were many lanterns. It was really beautiful.
The husband and wife took a shower and changed into clean clothes. When they ca out, dinner was already prepared in the corridor outside. It was a very pleasant candlelit dinner, but the ceramic lamp above them was still on.
It was the seafood feast that Dongfang Liuyun had been craving for.
Qi Lei was very considerate as he peeled the crabs for her. She was also leisurely enjoying his service as she looked at him. “Have you co here today because you feel guilty?”
“You have sharp eyes. You’ve figured out my thoughts quite well.” Qi Lei did not deny it. In truth, she had a delicate heart.
“I know you. We haven’t been married for long. It’s normal for you to feel wronged when you suddenly have to leave for so long. But really, I’m fine. At most, when you’re not around, I’ll think of you a little. I won’t be used to having no one to cook or warm the bed for .”
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she looked at him with so amusent.
His hands paused and he glanced at her. “So that’s what I am to you!”
She smiled quietly and looked down.
“Wang Chun’s inspection team is going over in the next two days. How are your preparations going? Dongfang Rou’er’s offer to Wang Chun is very tempting. You have to consider it carefully. Let’s do it the way I discussed it with you. It’ll be beneficial to you.”
Qi Lei took a tissue to wipe his hands as he said this.
When they talked about business, Dongfang Liuyun’s face gradually turned serious—
“Our thoughts coincide. I’ve already ntioned the plan to father. He thinks it’s a good idea too, so he’ll probably accept our suggestion. However, let him handle the specifics himself. I don’t have that much free ti to deal with them.”
“Is Lin Yuanyuan keeping a close eye on you?” Qi Lei asked.
“Of course. They can’t wait to catch with sothing. I’m having a hard ti now.”
Dongfang Liuyun shrugged and stuffed a peeled shrimp into her mouth. Her tone sounded a little helpless.
“It’s hard for you to fight on the front line, but don’t worry. When I return, I’ll give you a surprise. As for what it is, I’ll leave it as a surprise first.”
Qi Lei smiled mysteriously, his gaze a little strange.
“Still playing with secrets? You’re smiling so sinisterly.”
Dongfang Liuyun could not help but laugh. She reached out and poured him a glass of wine.
“No, this is a smile of wisdom.”
Listening to his explanation, Dongfang Liuyun chuckled softly. “Mr. Qi, let ask you a question—”
“Hmm?”
“Have you heard of a poem by Lu You? It’s called ‘Sleeping Spring’. Can you recite it?”
“Sleeping Spring?”
Qi Lei was stunned for a mont. He thought for a mont before saying, “Dark plum sniffs the flowers, and sleeping branches hurt the bottom of my heart... from afar, it slls like water, easy to see through the green of the spring... the shore is green... Are you ssing with ?”
He read the rest of the poem with so difficulty. Qi Lei looked at the smile on her face and finally realized sothing. He could not help but gritted his teeth as he said, “You’re ssing with ?”.
Dongfang Liuyun finally laughed out loud. She could not help but reach out and grab his shoulder. She leaned over and kissed his indifferent lips—
“Do you know what my nickna was?” She asked seductively.
“What was it?”
It was not easy for him to catch her wanting to reveal her nickna. Naturally, he could not let this go!
