Chapter 1681: Meet (1)

Dongfang Liuyun rolled her eyes at him and leaned back against the seat leisurely.

“Give me a call when you come back next time so that I can get off work earlier, I’ve been quite busy recently.”

“I know you’ve been quite busy, so I came over personally to pick you up. You aren’t crying with gratitude in your heart, are you?” Qi Lei gave her a sideways glance and replied.

“I was a little grateful at first, but now that you’ve said it, I don’t feel much anymore.”

“I’ve been away for so long. Don’t you miss me at all?”

Qi Lei frowned as he listened and asked directly.

“I occasionally think of the days when there was no one to warm the bed.”

Dongfang Liuyun spoke in a serious manner, but as she spoke, she turned her head to look at him. She crossed her chest leisurely, and her gaze looked as if she was enjoying something visually.

Qi Lei coughed lightly when he heard that. Under her burning gaze, he actually felt a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and sped up slightly. He did not look at her.

He had to admit that sometimes, her gaze could make him restless. Just like at this moment, there was an uncontrollable surge in his chest.

“I’m not only useful in warming the bed, but I admit that I did miss you.”

Qi Lei’s calm voice sounded. He paused for a moment before continuing, “I’m worried that you’ll be suffering a loss.”

“It’s inevitable to be at a disadvantage. Just don’t fall in the same place.”

“You’re right!”

Qi Lei was like a very obedient baby. He nodded and agreed with her.

She then glanced at him. Seeing that his face was still wet, she naturally took the tissue in front of her and wiped it for him. “Is everything going well over there?”

“Yes, it’s going well. Otherwise, I’d have to stay there for a few more days.”

“Your Tai Yu Corporation project is quite big, and the pressure is quite high.”

“Of course. In order to support my family, I work hard too, Mrs. Qi!”

Qi Lei gave her a meaningful glance.

She smiled. “I’m not asking you to support me now. My salary is pretty good.”

“Yes, you’re also a rich woman with all your assets added up.”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled quietly.

...

When they arrived at Sky Restaurant No. 1, it was already nine o’clock at night. It was a little late for dinner, but it was time for supper.

The business here was very good because of the elegant environment. There was a beautiful sky garden, and sitting by the window, they could see half of City Z from a bird’s eye view. It was a high-end consumer area.

Qi Lei’s reservation was the best spot for the view. There was a luxurious private room upstairs, and there were not many people at the moment. The private room was very quiet.

The two of them ordered western food.

While Dongfang Liuyun poured the red wine, Qi Lei also helped her cut the steak on the plate in a gentlemanly manner.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window next to them, half of City Z was lit up. It was colorful and connected to a beautiful scene.

However, looking at it with her chin propped up, she felt a little absent-minded and surreal, especially when she saw the man opposite her focusing on helping her cut the steak.

Dongfang Liuyun thought that it was actually a pretty good feeling to have such a person who was completely devoted to her.

Many people always feel discontent even when they had something. They always thought that they might be able to pursue a better enjoyment, but they never considered what level they were at, so...

“What are you thinking about?”

Qi Lei’s voice sounded. When Dongfang Liuyun looked up, she realized that he had already stopped what he was doing and was toasting her.

She happily raised her wine and returned the toast—

“It’s quite nice here. You really know how to choose a place.”

He chuckled, “I might not know anything else, but if it’s about enjoying life’s pleasures then there are probably not many people in City Z who can compare to me. It’s just that I’ve had enough of it in the past two years. However, if you want to enjoy it, I don’t mind finding an opportunity to bring you around the entire City Z.”

Qi Lei was previously a famous playboy in City Z. Was there anywhere he had not been before?

He almost became a spokesperson for enjoying life’s pleasures. However, after some time in this life, he felt that it was nothing more than that. He often felt tired, and these things made him lose interest, in the end, he could only return to his original self.

And after that, Qi Lei realized that this peaceful and simple life was the only thing he truly hoped for.

Dongfang Liuyun listened and was silent for a moment. However, she shook her head. “I’m already past the age where I’m playful. If I have time, I might as well find a place to drink tea, read books, and sleep.”

“Don’t talk like you’re in your 70s or 80s. It’s not that you’re not playful, it just depends on who you’re playing with,” said Qi Lei with certainty.

As he spoke, he took a fork and put a piece of cut beef into her mouth.

She did not feel that it was rude at all. Instead, it felt very natural. Dongfang Liuyun also tacitly opened her mouth to accept it.

As the food entered her mouth, she elegantly chewed a few times before saying, “Mmm, not bad. Give it a try.”

“The steak here is very famous, the flavors were delicious and I’d asked Yang Sheng to get steak from here practically every time. It’s just that these past few years, I no longer have that kind of interest.”

“I can imagine how Yang Sheng was tormented by you. But I have to say, he is indeed a very good assistant.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she picked up her wine and took a simple sip.

“You’ve praised him more than once. I have to wonder if he gave you any benefits.”

Qi Lei looked at her meaningfully.

“Do I look like the kind of person who is easily bribed? Look forward, a person like me is definitely the most suitable to be a spy.”

Dongfang Liuyun was also exuding a sense of confidence at this moment. Her passionate appearance was reflected in Qi Lei’s eyes, causing his heart to skip a beat uncontrollably. As he looked at her, he only smiled quietly.

“Miss Dongfang, did I tell you that you actually look very good-looking when you smile?”

After staring at her for a while, he suddenly said this...

When she heard this, Dongfang Liuyun was subconsciously stunned. She looked at him, unable to react...

Qi Lei lowered his eyes, took the bottle, and poured her some wine, “I’ve actually been thinking about our interactions, I have to admit that my originally calm state of mind actually have some anticipation. You’re a very good person, and I...”
