Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Riko Inoue’s beautiful eyes were as still as the rainy night sky. Not only were her current emotions gathered within, she was also at a loss about the future

Naturally, she was aware of Fujiwara’s attitude towards her. However, despite knowing that, if one wanted it, one had to fight for oneself. Therefore, if it was Fujiwara, then Riko Inoue was willing to fight for it for herself.

Fujiwara was the one whom she admired the most out of all the men she had ever met. Furthermore, she felt that the two of them might be very suitable for each other. At this point, time and circumstance would not allow her to think too much about it, rather than getting married to someone whom she had no feelings for, it would be better to find someone who was pleasing to her eyes, even if she could not escape this fate.

When Yoshimoto saw that Riko Inoue had fallen silent, he did not say anything to disturb her. Instead, he quietly retreated.

She only regained her senses when she faintly heard the sound of footsteps disappearing into the distance. When she turned her head to look, Yoshimoto’s figure had already disappeared at the corner in front of him. Only then did she take a deep breath, cover her face with both hands, and bend down...

The curtain of the night was pulled open very quickly. When Dongfang Liuyun woke up comfortably, it was already dark outside.

She propped herself up and slowly sat up. Her consciousness returned very quickly. She subconsciously looked around her surroundings and realized that it was already pitch-black outside the French windows, the faint flickering lights came from the lighthouse and street lights outside. The room was very quiet. The only sound she could hear was the howling of the night wind outside.

Where was Qi Lei?

She frowned and removed the blanket from her body. She glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It was already past nine. She did not expect that she would sleep for the entire afternoon. Qi Lei did not wake her up either, however, she felt much better after sleeping for such a long time.

She looked around and found that her laptop was still open on the long table beside her. It seemed like there were many scattered documents and papers on the side, but she did not see him.

Dongfang Liuyun quickly got up and walked towards the table.

When she walked over, she realized that the scattered papers were scattered drafts. There were all sorts of formulas and calculations written on them. The rough data plan on the computer was already out.

A look of surprise flashed across Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes. She quickly pulled a chair and sat down. She swiftly began to look through the documents

Sure enough, Qi Lei had already done most of her work. His efficiency was clearly higher than hers. Initially, she had thought that she would have to work overtime tonight and work through the night. She did not expect him to solve all her problems for her.

Looking at the densely written papers scattered across the table, Dongfang Liuyun was stunned. She could not help but feel warm in her heart. She quickly tidied up the table and began to look for Qi Lei.

After a round of searching, she found Qi Lei in the corridor outside.

When Dongfang Liuyun looked for him, Qi Lei was sitting on the stairs at the side. He had a lit cigarette between his fingers and was smoking it intermittently.

The night breeze was very chilly. He did not wear many clothes and a simple windbreaker was draped over his shoulders.

Dongfang Liuyun stood from afar and watched him for a while. For some reason, amid the faint smoke, she suddenly felt that his back seemed so cold that it made her heart freeze. She thought about it and did not care about anything else, she walked over.

“It’s quite cold here. Why don’t you go back to your room?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s clear voice traveled over. Qi Lei, who was deep in thought, also came back to his senses. He turned his head and saw that Dongfang Liuyun had already arrived behind him.

“You’re awake?”

As he spoke, he put out the cigarette between his fingers. He reached out to her and placed the book on the ground beside him.

Dongfang Liuyun walked over and sat down next to him.

“Mm, I didn’t expect to sleep for an entire afternoon. Why didn’t you wake me up?”

Dongfang Liuyun tidied her messy hair with her five fingers.

“I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t have the heart to wake you up. Are you hungry?”

He helped her fix her hair as well.

“I’m alright. You’re quite efficient. You helped me finish it all in one go. Aren’t you tired?”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she turned to look at him. Naturally, she could see the tiredness between his brows. “I suddenly realized that ever since I’ve been with you, I don’t have so many things to worry about.”

“That’s natural. It’s best to have someone to share worries with.” Qi Lei responded. He extended his long arm and slid it towards her shoulder, holding it.

“Do you often feel tired when you’re with me?”

Dongfang Liuyun thought about it for a long time and finally could not help but ask.

Qi Lei narrowed his eyes at her. After a moment, he replied, “I am a little tired, but I’m happy to do it.”

“I can also tell that you’re quite tired. Sometimes, I really want to make things simpler. At least, we don’t have to be so worn out.”

Dongfang Liuyun sighed softly and leaned against his shoulder, looking at the deep starry sky opposite him, “You know, before I met you, I had never thought of who I could rely on, especially on company matters. Now, the fact that I was able to stand firm in the company so smoothly is largely thanks to you. I already know about the incident with Lin Yuanyuan and Dongfang Yu’s transfer. They’re all your masterpieces...”

Dongfang Liuyun spoke calmly, but Qi Lei looked at her in surprise.

Dongfang Liuyun returned his mysterious smile, “Don’t be confused as to how I know. I guessed it. I think that after going all the way around, the person who benefited the most is actually me. I’m afraid that no one in this world would be racking their brains to give me all the good things, other than you...”

“I thought about it for a bit and figured it out. It must’ve been you.”

When Dongfang Liuyun said this, her starry eyes suddenly flashed with a faint light. She looked at him in a daze. Seeing that he was silent with his eyes lowered, she suddenly could not help but pull his idle hand and hold it gently.

A faint warmth came from his palm. Qi Lei’s big hand around her shoulder suddenly tightened.

“Will you always treat me like this?”

Dongfang Liuyun did not know why he was being so pretentious. He just wanted to hear an answer from him.

Qi Lei paused for a moment, then chuckled—

“Of course I want to. I’m just worried that you won’t give me a chance.”

“Won’t give you a chance?”

Dongfang Liuyun muttered softly, “Why?”

“I’m afraid that I won’t treat you well enough.”

Qi Lei’s words were sounded slightly defeated. How should he put this? From the moment he met her, he felt less and less superior...
