Dongfang Liuyun trusted him wholeheartedly, so she nodded in satisfaction before raising her arm to pour him some tea.

“Don’t forget what you said today. Let’s start eating. The food here is really good and since today’s your birthday, I wish you a lifetime of happiness.”

“Thank you, Liuyun.” Lan Xiu looked at her and smiled contentedly.

“I’ll be heading back later because I’m a little tired. I’ll meet those people next time. After hustling for so many days, I need some time to relax. I don’t want to do anything else other than sleep all day. You can take care of the matter between Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rouer by yourself. It doesn’t matter if you go or not because I don’t care about them,” Dongfang Liuyun said as she lowered her head while eating.

“I’ll send you back then,” Lan Xiu offered.

“No need. You can go on with your work. I’ll take the subway back by myself to skip the traffic jam. I’ll visit you in two days since I need to go over the project details with you before you go there. Mr. Ge isn’t easy to deal with, so the more you know, the more leverage you have when negotiating. I’ll then leave the matter completely up to somebody else. My father has made all the arrangements for me, so after Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rouer’s engagement, I’ll immediately start working in the marketing department of the Dongfang Group.”

“Actually, revealing your identity right from the start may save you from all the trouble.” Lan Xiu looked at Dongfang Liuyun worriedly.

“It’s okay. No matter how hard and tiring it is, I’ve made it through. It’ll also be better for me in the long run. I’m not afraid of hardships, but I’m afraid when all those hard work goes in vain.”

“Your belief makes you a good entrepreneur since you wouldn’t take any losses. However, this worries me a lot, Liuyun,” Lan Xiu said helplessly as he poured her another cup of tea.

“Well, then when I ask you for help the next time, you just need to be there.” Dongfang Liuyun smiled and glanced at him.

“That’s expected, and you will always be my priority.”

“What a good friend you are.” She grinned in satisfaction.

They finished up their meal quickly as she did not eat much. Then, they stayed for a little while after eating before she got up and said goodbye and Lan Xiu sent her off.

“Do you really not need me to send you back?” Lan Xiu asked again.

Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him indifferently and took her backpack from Ah Li. “No need. There’s a subway station just in front. I’ll just go back by myself, and I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye!”

She walked forward as she spoke and waved at Lan Xiu. After a while, her thin figure disappeared into the city lights.

However, Lan Xiu stood in place for a long time as he watched her figure being submerged in the twilight. His expression was a little dazed and desolate...

Dongfang Liuyun squeezed her way into a busy subway station and hesitated for a long time when she was at the ticket counter.

She did not know where to go back to: to her parents, the Beach Villa, or to Qi Lei’s Grand Lake Villa. After struggling for a while, she remembered the missed call and finally chose the subway station near the Grand Lake Villa area without hesitation.

About 40 minutes later, she finally came out of the subway station.

Dongfang Liuyun navigated her way using the map on her phone and found the location of the Grand Lake Villa area. She was not familiar with this area at all since she was not even familiar with City Z, let alone this small area here.

After walking for about 15 minutes, she finally found the familiar villa.

At this very moment, Qi Lei was sitting in front of the sofa with the freshly cooked egg noodles in the villa. He turned on the TV and watched the news. Just after eating a few mouthfuls, the doorbell suddenly rang, and he quickly slurped another mouthful before putting it aside. He grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth quickly before having a sip of tea and walking towards the door unhurriedly.

Through the screen on the side, he immediately saw Dongfang Liuyun standing outside the door. As his eyes flickered, he took a deep breath before pressing the button to open the door and waited there.

Her slender figure quickly passed through the clean concrete path. In the blink of an eye, she was already in front of the staircase at the door. When she saw him waiting there, she stopped in her tracks and raised her head to watch him silently. She did not speak either.

They did not speak for a long time. Afterward, Qi Lei made the first move by leaning in and opening the door slightly.

Dongfang Liuyun continued to walk up. As her figure moved past his, she said, “Didn’t you go? I waited for a while and I didn’t see you, so Lan Xiu went to pick me up.”

Qi Lei closed the door and watched her figure for a long time before following behind her. “I was behind your car and saw you getting in. I couldn’t have just dragged you off like that, could I?”

“I called you, but the call didn’t get through. Later, I found out that my phone was still in airplane mode. Sorry, I didn’t mean it. Want some tomato and egg noodles? Have you had dinner yet?”

As she offered, she threw the backpack on her back onto the sofa. Qi Lei had sat down again and continued to eat his noodles. He raised his eyebrows and took the chopsticks on the other side in one hand.

“I initially planned a date with a beautiful woman, but in the end, you were out having fun.” He glanced at her irritably and handed her the big bowl of noodles in his hands.

Dongfang Liuyun glared at him and smiled. “I’m so sorry for ruining it. My stomach doesn’t feel too good, so no matter how delicious it is, I just can’t finish it. Are there still noodles left in the pot?”

She took the bowl and enjoyed it without holding back.

“There’s none left,” Qi Lei responded and gave her a glass of water before getting up.

“Oh, then you can go make the next one for yourself. I’m starving,” Dongfang Liuyun said while holding the remote control and surfing channels.

Qi Lei’s brows were furrowed. How could she be such a natural at this?

Normally, girls would at least give an explanation such as, “Lan Xiu and I just ate together and nothing happened between us”, or “I was just talking to Lan Xiu”. Girls would normally say things like that, would they not?

He frowned and looked at her for a long time. When he saw that she was eating heartily, he inhaled helplessly as he could not say anything. He turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

He was also starving!

However, he ignored her. Dongfang Liuyun was not a typical woman anyway. Since she was not like other women, he obviously should not expect her to do everything as planned.

If he did, then it would be like the sun rising from the west!

That was how he felt about her after having spent over a year with her.
