The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife

Chapter 1524 – Hope You Can Compromise 2

The two of them walked along this pedestrian path for quite a distance until the splendor of lights ahead came to an end before Dongfang Liuyun said to turn back. Qi Lei agreed.

The streetlights past midnight seemed brighter than before. They walked for quite a while and then reached their parked cars. Qi Lei, who did not say much throughout the walk, suddenly spoke up, “Alright, it’s the wee hours of the morning. Go home earlier. From what I recall, this isn’t quite like you.”

When she heard that, she laughed. “Sometimes, I just say things. There are times when I feel down and lonely too. Alright, that’s enough. Here, take back your coat.”

Then, she took off the coat from her shoulders and handed it to him.

Qi Lei silently looked on for a while, then finally took it back. He thought about it for a moment and said, “You don’t have to give yourself so much pressure. You’re just one woman.”

When she heard that, she was stunned. Eventually, she smiled to say, “When it comes to many things, I don’t have the right to say no. Thank you for your kind intentions. Now, go home.”

Then, she abruptly turned and walked to her car.

Qi Lei did not manage to say another word before the car was started. The black vehicle drove ahead, leaving him with only the lonely view of the car driving away.

For some reason, he could clearly feel that Dongfang Liuyun seemed a little...

Everyone had a story of their own though hers was probably not quite ordinary.

...

A considerably serene weekend passed by just like that. Dongfang Liuyun had been staying put at home for the past few days. She had looked through all of the Dongfang Group’s information in detail several times, as well as those files she had asked Lan Xiu to send to her.

After a few days, she almost lost track of time in the real world. It was only when Lan Xiu called that she remembered that they were supposed to meet.

The evening had passed, and the sun had set for quite a while now. The world was a vast grayness.

When Dongfang Liuyun rushed to the meetup location by car, Lan Xiu had already ordered some dishes and was waiting for her.

Lan Xiu was Dongfang Liuyun’s best friend. He was Singaporean, but years ago, he had stayed permanently in City Z with his parents. He was Dongfang Liuyun’s schoolmate, and they even went abroad to further their studies together. He was considered her senior in school. They had practically no secrets between one another.

Lan Xiu was a casual person. He had a lanky figure and his handsome looks made him seem reserved. While his profound eyes revealed the light of wisdom, he looked like he had flirtatious feminine energy. In Dongfang Liuyun’s words, he was definitely a rarity that made women jealous.

Dongfang Liuyun sat right across him.

When he sensed movement across him, Lan Xiu looked up unhurriedly from his magazine and looked at her sitting across him. Tenderness soon flashed across his face. “You’re here!”

“You’re quite the enthusiastic one. Aren’t you tired from your flight that was over 10 hours?” Dongfang Liuyun picked up her chopsticks, the table was filled with dishes that she liked.

“To eat with you, I’d brace myself even if I were tired.” Lan Xiu’s low and raspy voice was as charming as a cello.

Dongfang Liuyun looked up slightly and nonchalantly glanced at him. “I’ve looked through the things you sent me. They are quite detailed. Thank you. Let me toast to you.”

Then, she was about to fill up the glass before her when Lan Xiu was a step ahead of her and stopped her. “You’ve been having poor digestion recently. Drink less and have more water. It’s been so many years. Why are you still so reluctant to take good care of yourself? Are you trying to break yourself?”

Lan Xiu’s tensed handsome face looked concerned while his low and raspy voice mixed with a hint of reprimanding as well.

Dongfang Liuyun was forced to stop what she was doing. She looked up and met Lan Xiu’s gaze. A while after that, she looked away and pulled her hand back. “I’m fine. It’s just a small problem, but I’m feeling much better now.”

“I heard Fujiwara’s coming to City Z quite soon. Have you planned on meeting him? This time, he’s prepared quite a bit when he was back in Japan. He’s not going to give up on you, Liuyun. He’s got such strong feelings for you. Won’t you consider it? Don’t reject him because of his older brother—”

Before Lan Xiu could finish, Dongfang Liuyun’s initially unhappy face was covered with some paleness as she coldly cut him off, “Enough, stop right there!”

“Liuyun!” Lan Xiu’s raspy voice was slightly raised as well. His handsome brows were furrowed into a knot as his eyes fixed on her.

Dongfang Liuyun had already shut her eyes as she took in several shallow breaths at a go. Finally, she opened her eyes and took a glass to drain the water it contained. “I’ve said it before. I forgot about those things. Fujiwara and I will never happen.”

“You can’t just forget some things just cause you said you have! Fujiwara is a mad man. I’ll be honest with you. He’s personally visited your grandmother. In fact, they enjoyed talking to each other. If I guess it correctly, the so-called project he’s coming to City Z for isn’t the real reason. His target is you. He wants to be combined with the Dongfang Group by marriage. I’ve thought about this from quite a few points. It’s highly possible your grandmother will say yes to this. Liuyun, you’d better plan early!” Lan Xiu’s words were mixed with thick worry.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun looked miserable. “Isn’t Grandmother unwell? Why would she have the mind to be talking about these things with him.”

“Liuyun, tell me honestly, how do you feel about Fujiawara?”

“From the moment he turned away, he and I have got nothing left. I don’t want to look into whose fault it was. He had his reasons for doing that, so I don’t blame him either. There’s no way I can go back and accept a flawed relationship, just as Lan Qi can’t...can’t...be revived...”

Bam!

Before Dongfang Liuyun could finish, she suddenly turned pale, and the cup in her hand fell to the ground.

“Liuyun!” Lan Xiu was quick to hold her wavering body. He went over and caught her in his arms. “It’s fine! It’s fine! Don’t be afraid, Liuyun! Don’t be afraid...He won’t blame you. He wouldn’t...”

Dongfang Liuyun took in quite a few breaths before she calmed herself down. Then, she pushed Lan Xiu away. “I’m fine. I’ve long been fine.”

She turned away and looked at the glorious lights outside the window. “I can’t let this piece of happiness go, I guess...”
