After a moment of silence, Qi Lei replied—

“When and where?”

Dongfang Liuyun had already informed him beforehand. Lan Xiu knew about their relationship, so it was only a matter of time before the two of them met. Qi Lei did not object to this, and he did not know much about Lan Xiu’s situation, he did not deliberately investigate the people around Dongfang Liuyun, but he knew that Lan Xiu was very good to Dongfang Liuyun.

Dongfang Liuyun probably had deep feelings for Lan Xiu too. Those feelings might not have anything to do with love, but it contained many emotions, such as trust, tolerance, and concern...

Actually, the current him might not be comparable to him. At the very least, Dongfang Liuyun did not give him the same trust as Qi Lei. The more she did not want anything from him, the more he felt the distance between them.

On the other end, Lan Xiu quickly reported an address—

“South of New Era Plaza, Island Cafè. If it’s convenient, let’s do it now.”

“See you in an hour.”

Qi Lei replied indifferently and hung up.

“Master Qi, who called?”

Noticing that Qi Lei’s expression did not look right, Yang Sheng asked the question.

“Why are you so curious? Alright, that’s all here. Just do what I told you to do. I’m going out for a while.”

Qi Lei stood up and walked into the house after saying that.

...

In a corner of the Island Cafè on the south side of New Era Plaza.

The waiter had already brought up a cup of rich Blue Mountain. His fingers were interlocked. Lan Xiu, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, quickly came back to his senses. He nodded politely at the waiter before taking a sip of his coffee.

“President Lan, it’s been almost an hour. Why isn’t Qi Lei here yet?”

Ah Li looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time and said with a frown.

“The hour isn’t up, is it?”

Lan Xiu was very calm. He reached out for the magazine at the side and casually flipped through it.

“But...”

“You can go down first. Wait for me in the car,” said Lan Xiu.

Ah Li looked at Lan Xiu hesitantly. Seeing that his expression was as calm as water, he naturally did not dare to be tactful. He responded softly and then turned around.

And just as he turned around, a black figure came into view—

It was Qi Lei!

He was wearing a straight black suit pants with only a black shirt on top. The cufflinks had already been opened. He was handsome and extraordinary, but he was also unpredictable. When he saw Ah Li, the corner of his indifferent mouth curled into an evil smile.

“Have you waited long?”

He nodded politely at Lan Xiu. Without waiting for Lan Xiu to speak, he sat down across from him. He reached out for the menu and casually opened it. He glanced at it and gestured to the waiter beside him.

“A cup of salted lemon 7up.”

“Yes, sir. Please wait a moment.”

...

Lan Xiu began to silently size up Qi Lei who was sitting in front of him. Qi Lei also sat there, allowing him to size him up.

“To be honest, I don’t know why Liuyun chose you. I don’t deny that your conditions are good. You’re the person in charge of the Qi family, the young President of Tai Yu Corporation. This identity is indeed a very good condition for the Dongfang family. However, she has too many choices. You have a reputation, and there are many things that don’t necessarily meet Liuyun’s standards. Why did she choose you?”

Lan Xiu’s calm tone came through, and his deep eyes looked at Qi Lei quietly. He could not hide the depression and sadness in the depths of his eyes. Qi Lei looked at him at that moment, but he had an indescribable feeling

Should he be angry? Or should he be sympathetic or pitiful?

“I can’t answer this question either. You should ask Liuyun. She told me about you. I know that you’re her very good friend and playmate.”

Qi Lei took the salted lemon 7up from the waiter and took a sip. “She said that you’re a good person and treats her well. She even said that we can become good friends. I wonder if I, Qi Lei, have such an honor?”

“She... really said that?”

Lan Xiu paused and asked silently. He did not look up at Qi lei. Instead, he looked down at the coffee in front of him.

“Actually, many people want to marry Liuyun. Among them, there are many young talents who come from good families and have good characters. They are the same as you, including me. She is too outstanding. So outstanding that sometimes, you even suspect that you are just a speck of dust in front of her, while she is a dazzling pearl. In fact, I can’t see where you two are compatible. At least, among the many suitors of Liuyun that I know, you really aren’t the most outstanding.”

Lan Xiu’s words were a little bitter.

“Just take it that I’m lucky. If this makes you feel better, then I’ll let you know. She’s indeed a very good woman. Since you’re so familiar with her, you must know that she has never approved of your self-belittling. You’re also a very outstanding person.”

Qi Lei was not angry at this moment. There was actually nothing to be angry about. It slipped through his fingers. This was probably the most appropriate way to describe Lan Xiu. He had let Qi Lei get it all for nothing. However, just because of these things, they caused a ruckus, it was not Qi Lei’s original intention. Anyway, Dongfang Liuyun was now Qi Lei’s person. He should be more magnanimous.

“Me? Not really! Do you know what Liuyun wants?”

Lan Xiu suddenly asked.

Qi Lei raised his handsome eyebrows. He did not say anything but looked at him silently.

“Although I have been good friends with her for more than twenty years, I have never understood her. She is almost a perfect person. At least, in my opinion, she is that kind of person. Since you’re so honored to be able to marry her, I don’t have any right to object. I just hope that you can treat her well. Otherwise, the first person who won’t let you off would be me.”

“You don’t have to say this. She’s now my Mrs. Qi.”

Qi Lei answered firmly.

“It’s best that you know. Do you even know Liuyun’s past? Can you say such resolute words?”

Lan Xiu looked at him silently.

“I won’t participate in her past. I can’t change what has already happened. As long as her future is mine, it’s fine. I know that her past may not be simple, just like me. Back then, I saw her speak to you with my own eyes. You didn’t agree and you gave up. So, no matter what, you’ve already been ruled out. The only thing you can do is to bless her. As for the rest, I’ll deal with it myself.”

Qi Lei put down the cup in his hand and looked at Lan Xiu with a serious expression.
