Dongfang Liuyun smiled. “I didn’t expect you to co over.”
“A certain soone asked to take care of you. Mu Yuchen happened to be free tonight to take care of his children, so I ca over to take a look. You don’t look too well either. Are you feeling unwell? You seem to have drunk quite a lot tonight.”
Xi Xiaye was concerned.
“I’m alright. I drank a few too many glasses, so I feel a little weak from drinking. I’m quite surprised that you ca over.”
Dongfang Liuyun really liked Xi Xiaye. In her impression, Xi Xiaye had always been such a modest and friendly person. When she rembered that Qi Lei had ntioned Xi Xiaye’s good qualities to her before, her starry eyes were filled with gratitude
“Thank you for your concern. Also, Qi Lei told that you and your wife treats him well.”
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye suddenly smiled. “You’re too polite. Sotis, I really feel that you’re a little...”
“A little unreasonable and distant?”
Before Xi Xiaye could finish, Dongfang Liuyun had already finished his sentence.
Xi Xiaye just smiled and did not say anything.
“I didn’t an that. I’ve just been alone all these years. I’m not really used to others being too nice to because...”
“Because you’re afraid that you’ll beco dependent. Once others are no longer willing to bear it, you’ll beco even more vulnerable.”
Xi Xiaye finished what Dongfang Liuyun did not continue to say because no one felt it more deeply than her. Was she not the sa before?
“Do you feel this way too?”
Dongfang Liuyun did not expect Xi Xiaye to say that. Instead, she was a little gratified by her resonance.
Xi Xiaye nodded gently as her beautiful eyes lit up. She smiled and said, “I was like you before too. I just have this feeling. Sotis, I feel very helpless, but I also know that I need to work hard.”
“Of course, no matter how helpless or troubled you are, you still need to solve it because you can only move forward and not back down. I was also afraid that I’ll beco weak if I asked for help from others. Even though I’m still vulnerable, I still need to have a strong heart.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was calm. Looking at her now, Xi Xiaye really felt that she was quite far away from them.
“But you can still rely on Qi Lei now, right? He loves you very much, do you know that?”
Xi Xiaye thought about it and said softly.
Dongfang Liuyun was stunned when she heard that. She turned around and walked to the balcony. Xi Xiaye thought about it and followed her.
“Did he tell you that he loves ?” Dongfang Liuyun asked softly, yet she did not seem to care too much about the answer. Without waiting for Xi Xiaye’s answer, she continued, “I owe him too much... actually, it’s exhausting for him to be with . He’s really good to .”
“I know. You must’ve heard about what happened between Mu Yuchen and , right?”
Xi Xiaye chuckled softly, “Actually, back then, he and I treated each other very well. He was also very good to , making feel like I owe him too much. I’ve always thought that only those who give love can truly be loved. He’s just been silently giving. Later on, just like that, I slowly developed a sense of trust and dependence. Later on, I accepted everything that he gave . It felt very natural.”
“Because I know that I’m going to live with him for the rest of my life. He’s my husband and the person who will be by my side for the rest of my life. Why should I worry too much? I just have to focus on love him. Why should I think too much? No matter how big the storm is, he’ll be there to protect , I just have to follow after him. What do you think?”
Xi Xiaye had settled down a lot in the past two years, and she had beco more mature.
“I really hope that I can have a mature and ideal life or relationship like you,” Dongfang Liuyun replied softly, a rare gentle smile appearing on her indifferent face, “I just can’t stand to see soone I care about have such an exhausting life because of . Even if I try my best to change so things, it’s useless. You have to hate yourself for being powerless.”
“Do you want to live like a female chauvinist? Qi Lei clearly has the ability to protect you.” Xi Xiaye teased.
Dongfang Liuyun just smiled and shook her head, “No, he has the ability to protect , but I hope that I could protect him even more. All these years, I’ve been very passive. I hope that I don’t have to be so passive anymore in the future. Since I returned to Dongfang Group, I beca affected psychologically. If it wasn’t for his constant guidance, I’m worried that I wouldn’t be able to withstand that kind of pressure.”
“In my heart, Qi Lei isn’t just my Dongfang Liuyun’s husband. He’s also my teacher and friend. Sotis, others find him very unbearable, like a playboy, but he’s soone who can bring positive energy. Between us, it’s more like we find comfort in each other.”
When Dongfang Liuyun said this, her eyes were a little absent-minded, but there was a faint warm light in the depths of her eyes. Xi Xiaye did not even need to doubt it as she already understood
At this mont, Dongfang Liuyun definitely had feelings for Qi Lei.
“Mmm, Qi Lei is a very good person.”
Xi Xiaye agreed very much. “Just now... Why did you...”
Dongfang Liuyun understood what Xi Xiaye ant and imdiately smiled. “I can’t be the center of attention at this ti.”
Xi Xiaye paused for a mont. She understood Dongfang Liuyun’s words as well, then she smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through.”
“Don’t think too much. I really have to thank you for what happened today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dismissed it so easily. Alright, I want to go back first. There’s still no news from Qi Lei today. I can’t get through to him. I’m a little worried.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not hide anything from Xi Xiaye, so he said the sa thing.
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye imdiately frowned. “Qi Lei? There’s no news. Why?”
“I’m a little uneasy right now, so I’ll go back first to check on the situation.”
“Okay, then you go back first. Don’t worry. It’s probably just a dead phone.”
Xi Xiaye could naturally see the worry in Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes. No wonder she looked so pale just now.
“Mmm.” Dongfang Liuyun acknowledged and then left.
Just as they walked out of Imperial Hotel, Wang Chun was already waiting at the door. Dongfang Liuyun quickly walked to the side of the car. Just as she was about to get into the car, a strong headlight suddenly flashed behind her and the horn sounded.
Dongfang Liuyun subconsciously turned around and realized that a black luxury car was slowly driving over behind him.
The car slowly ca to a stop. Dongfang Liuyun frowned and narrowed his eyes. She saw the door to the backseat open and a tall figure got out of the car—
