Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The night seemed to have become infinitely short, and it seemed to have been a long time since both of them had gotten a good night’s sleep. Their sleep quality that night was rather good.

Dongfang Liuyun was not used to the abrupt existence of a man beside her on the bed, so her consciousness was maintained throughout the whole night. The same went for Qi Lei who had always been a light sleeper. Dongfang Liuyun’s sudden appearance actually made him a little uncomfortable. The two laid on their backs quietly.

Listening to her uniform breathing, he seemed to be able to feel the numbing aura that surrounded her. she was as exceptionally cold and indifferent as she usually was, and he could not sense any huge emotional fluctuations from her.

It was an abrupt marriage. It stood to reason that making peace with the idea was a little…even for him…

However, she…

Her reaction was very calm, calm enough to make him feel a little skeptical.

He had known her for more than a year, and even longer than that in The World of Warcraft. They had met each other and chatted over some drinks several times. He would occasionally attend one of her cla.s.ses or pay her a visit at Bao De House, but he would not say that he knew her very well. He only knew that she never opened up easily. With a calm and composed stance, a remarkable drinking capacity, and a sharp gaze, she had always been a very smart and wise person.

In fact, even Qi Lei himself did not expect things to have suddenly developed to this point.

However, he was surprised that Dongfang Liuyun would be trapped by these mundane matters. It turned out that even such a calm and unconcerned person was not immune. This naturally made him feel…

He admitted that when he saw the man reject her at that moment, he felt a little unbalanced deep down, so he had thrown the question out without much hesitation. He then thought about it carefully when he got back, and there was nothing wrong with the whole plan. At least, they were familiar with each other. Who could say for sure that there must be no interaction between them?

He gazed at her with a hand supporting his chin while the air around him was filled with her quiet and charming fragrance.

Qi Lei was actually feeling a bit uncomfortable. He calmed himself down in the darkness for a long time. Finally, sucking in a breath, he turned to his side to not look at her again and closed his eyes silently…

…

It seemed to be a very wonderful night. The two of them had been lonely for many years and were often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. However, on such a bright and breezy night, they finally got to sleep soundly from dusk till dawn.

The corner of the dark sky was lifted by the first rays of the day, and the serene night pa.s.sed just like that.

It was a rare scene in which the weather was great, the wind brought in a little refreshing and faint scent from the balcony, Dongfang Liuyun woke up from her deep sleep and slowly opened her eyes, she then quickly realized that she was in an unfamiliar environment, and she sat up immediately.

The scenes from yesterday flicked through her mind. She turned her head to the other side of the bed for a glance subconsciously, the person who slept beside her was no longer there, but the blanket was spread out neatly.

After a while of allaying her emotions, Dongfang Liuyun lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and walked to the bathroom.

The closet was located right next to the bedroom, and the clothes that had been sent over suited her nicely. She wore a black loose casual dress, which made her look very slim.

Dongfang Liuyun went downstairs after freshening herself up, but it was still empty. n.o.body seemed to be home. With a frown, she strode downstairs, took a good look around the house, and soon found breakfast set up on the dining table at the side.

She gave it a thought, then moved towards the table.

It was a scrumptious Cantonese breakfast, which was her favorite. She glanced around and quickly saw a note stuck on the corner of the table. The handwriting was vigorous and confident.

‘There’s an important contract signing ceremony in the morning. Wait for me at home after breakfast. I will be back at noon.’

In the footer of the notepad was Qi Lei’s signature.

Dongfang Liuyun stared quietly at the note in her hand for a long time, and then a faint smile of relief could be seen on the corners of her lips. She then put the note away, picked up the chopsticks on the side, and started to enjoy her breakfast in silence.

…

In the president’s office of Tai Yu Corporation.

As soon as Qi Lei sat down at the desk, Yang Sheng had already knocked on the door. There was also a doc.u.ment in his hand. “Master Qi, the Strategy and Planning Department has handed in their proposal. You might want to go through it and see whether there’s anything that you wish to revise,” Yang Sheng pa.s.sed the doc.u.ment to Qi Lei as he said.

It was an urgent doc.u.ment, so Yang Sheng had to send it there directly.

Qi Lei subconsciously turned his gaze and glanced at the clock on the table. While reaching out to grab the file, he skimmed through it and replied, “Set it aside for now. I’ll take a look when I go back. Get the director of the Strategy and Planning Department to meet me here tomorrow at nine in the morning. Furthermore, cancel all my meetings in the afternoon. I won’t be in the office later.”

Having heard what Qi Lei had to say, Yang Sheng was startled.

“You won’t be in the office? But, Master Qi, President w.a.n.g from the w.a.n.g Corporation will be coming over to talk about the game IP development in the afternoon…” He stared at Qi Lei hesitantly.

“It’s okay. President w.a.n.g and I are very close friends. Just explain it to him and make another appointment with him.” Qi Lei closed the doc.u.ments in his hands.

Yang Sheng thought about it for a moment, then nodded silently. “Okay then, I’ll give President w.a.n.g a call now.”

Seeming to be able to sense the difference in Qi Lei’s mood today, Yang Sheng stole a few more glances at Qi Lei and found that the gloom that he usually exuded was gone for good, and he seemed to be a little more relaxed than usual.

He wanted to ask something originally, but Qi Lei had already collected the doc.u.ments and slid them into his briefcase on the side. He then handed the black briefcase to Yang Sheng and ordered, “Help me place this in my car, and you don’t have to follow me. I’m going home.”

“Master Qi, are you feeling ill?” Upon hearing what Qi Lei said, Yang Sheng panicked for a moment!

Qi Lei had never left during working hours. He haD always been a man of principles, especially when it came to time management.

Qi Lei glared at him as soon as he heard what he said. At this moment, Yang Sheng lowered his head silently, not daring to say another word.

“Take it downstairs. I’ll be there in ten minutes.” Qi Lei did not answer the question directly.

Yang Sheng did not dare to even gasp. He nodded quickly and responded repet.i.tively, “Yes, don’t worry, Master Qi. I’m on it! I’m on it now!” He quickly picked up the briefcase on the table as he said so, and withdrew swiftly.

Thud!

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qi Lei slowly leaned back in the chair behind him and closed his eyes silently. After a few minutes of relaxation, he opened his eyes. The subtle shine in them glistened with a more unusual and colorful glow.

He naturally did not forget what he had said to Dongfang Liuyun last night.

She should be awake at this point…
