“Have a gla.s.s of water.”

Just as Qi Lei was busy arranging the stack of thick books on the table, a gla.s.s of water was delivered to him at the table.

He stopped what he was doing and turned to look from the corner of his eye. He then realized that Dongfang Liuyun was standing by his side and leaning against the table. She held half a gla.s.s of water and was watching him.

Qi Lei put the few books on his hand onto the thick stack beside, then took the gla.s.s of water for a few gulps as he asked, “Almost done?”

Dongfang Liuyun looked around. Her starry gaze gathered with a sad reluctance, moments after she nodded, “Almost.”

“Don’t you want to leave this place?” Qi Lei naturally caught the feelings that gathered in her eyes.

Dongfang Liuyun lowered her gaze calmly and she was quite relaxed as she responded, “I wasn’t too willing to live with my parents before this. That’s why I moved out. I wasn’t staying here earlier. I only bought this place from my friend five years ago. I’ve had quite a peaceful life here. Now that I’m suddenly leaving, it does feel weird, but if I really think about it, there doesn’t seem to be anything I can fondly recall.”

“Didn’t you say that you weren’t one to reminisce about the past?” Qi Lei chuckled and casually reached out to fix her slightly messy hair that had fallen on her chest.

Dongfang Liuyun lowered her gaze and looked at that slender hand by her shoulders as she replied, “It’s nice to have some memories. Just don’t get stuck on reminiscing the past. Okay, let’s go. I’m almost done.”

She took the gla.s.s from his hand.

“Mmm, see if there’s anything else you’ve left behind.”

“For now, it’s just these things. Tomorrow, I’ll get someone to get a bookshelf up. I think the study is quite big, but the shelf is full. Those are the materials and books that I usually use. In another two days, I might return to my parents’ place. There are lots of materials from the Dongfang Group that I need to thumb through soon,” Dongfang Liuyun said, and even if she felt much reluctance, it was something she could not help. Earlier, in the car when she called home, Ah Fei had mentioned that her father had arranged everything for her.

“No worries. Slowly, you’ll be able to adapt and understand. It wasn’t easy when I first took over as well. Get them to list out an outline for you. Understand the situation in all the departments. Of course, it’s best that you observe things yourself. That way, you’ll have a more in-depth understanding. I’ll look through it with you tonight when we get back. Coincidentally, my company seems to require understanding how things have been in your company recently too.”

He did not hide this fact and brought it up briefly.

Now, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly recalled that they had brought it up before. Like how Dongfang Ren had been trying to fight for the South River Project with Tai Yu Corporation, Qi Lei was probably considering the Dongfang Group too.

However, she heard that quite a few companies were fighting for this project at the same time. Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi want to fight for it too, especially Dongfang Ren. This time, he entered the marriage with the Jin family because he wanted to use it to get the project.

It was only when he brought it up that Dongfang Liuyun thought about it.

However, she wondered if they found out that she had married Qi Lei, how would they feel?

“Are you planning on opening the back door for me since you’re telling me this?” She fell silent for a moment, then glanced at him. Her tone was a thought-provoking one.

Qi Lei raised his brows. He thought about it, then chuckled. “Well, of course, I’ll have to watch over my wife. How can I let someone else get to it?”

“With these words of yours alone, I think I should fight for it properly. However, I don’t think I’ll be able to master things so soon, so the company might not let me touch this project for now because the project is huge, and from what I know, Dongfang Ren has been wanting to let Dongfang Xin and Dongfang Rouer be in charge. They are both my rivals. Next time, if you really do meet them, don’t be too nice, and if you can watch over them especially, that would be good.”

Dongfang Liuyun’s tone sounded matter-of-fact. In fact, she was not pretentious at all.

She was so straightforward that Qi Lei was a little surprised, yet he admired her frankness and honesty. Then, he smiled and said, “You really are quite bold. Technically, at this moment, shouldn’t you be working hard to maintain your image such as showing off your kindness or tolerance?”

His words only made Dongfang Liuyun laugh out loud gently. With the back of her hand on her forehead, she said justifiably, “It’s best if I reveal my true self sooner. I told you before that I’m not a good person. I’d better not make you be disgusted with me for being a fake and pretentious person.”

“All your reb.u.t.tals always render me speechless, but it’s good like that. We don’t need to wear ourselves out being suspicious of each other.”

“Yes, for a single-celled organism like you, it’s best to be simple and straightforward.”

“A single-celled organism?” Qi Lei looked at her, puzzled.

The curve on her lips grew bigger as she glanced at him in amus.e.m.e.nt. Then, she said with a smile, “I’m just saying that you’re quite innocent, which is a good thing.”

“Are you indirectly saying I’m not intelligent?” Qi Lei was no fool. He could obviously catch her meaning between the lines and immediately frowned.

However, Dongfang Liuyun only shrugged casually. “I didn’t say that. You understood it that way yourself. However, there really aren’t many men like you anymore.”

A vibrance flashed in Qi Lei’s dark eyes as he asked, “So, are you saying you got lucky then?”

“Whether or not I got lucky, I’ll find out in time,” she said and then turned to walk out the door.

Qi Lei stayed where he was as he watched her figure gradually vanish out the door. His eyes flickered for a bit and then he laughed to himself.

Of course, he was an exceptionally good man!

This was his target. What a challenging one!

…

Outside the door, Yang Sheng had already ordered the bodyguards to put the things into the car. There were quite a lot of things, but most of them were books and some antique calligraphy and paintings. Dongfang Liuyun herself really did not have many things.

When Yang Sheng saw Dongfang Liuyun walk over, he quickly went up and said, “Miss Dongfang…Oh, wait, no…Missus….Your things have been put into the car…”

Right now, he was not quite sure how to address Dongfang Liuyun.

Dongfang Liuyun nodded. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Shall we return to the Grand Lake Villa area now then?” Yang Sheng asked.

She turned to look at this villa situated with a concealed tranquility as she fell quiet for a while.
