Qi Lei closed the book in his hand and placed it aside as he reached out to her.

She walked over obediently until Qi Lei reached out to hold her.

“I wanted to sleep.”

“But you couldn’t sleep?”

Dongfang Liuyun did not wait for him to finish speaking before she finished his sentence.

“Things have already stabilized on the hospital’s end, you can relax a little.”

“I know. There’s too much stuff in my head. Need to take a break.”

Qi Lei rubbed his forehead and replied indifferently.

“Mm, that’s enough. You should rest at home for the next two days. There shouldn’t be any problems at the hospital. I might have to return to the Dongfang mansion in the afternoon.”

Dongfang Liuyun walked over and poured herself a cup of tea. She drank it nonchalantly.

“I’ll go with you.” Qi Lei said without hesitation.

“Just rest well at home. I’ll be back soon.”

Dongfang Liuyun could not bear to see Qi Lei suffer. She knew her grandmother’s personality too well. There were some people he did not need to interact with. In her mind, he only needed to play the role of her husband, and the son-in-law of the Dongfang couple.

Qi Lei listened and looked at her deeply. He did not say anything after that.

“Do you think that I’m not capable of protecting you?”

After a moment of silence, Qi Lei suddenly said this. He reached out to take the teacup in her hand and drank the tea in one gulp. He lit a cigarette slowly and took a puff. He lowered his eyes slightly and did not look at her.

Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then, she shook her head. “Of course not. It’s just that sometimes, I have to dote on you...”

When Dongfang Liuyun said this, Qi Lei immediately looked up and watched her silently. There was a complicated look in his eyes.

“I’m afraid that I owe you too much... I’m actually not a good person. Qi Lei, at least to me, you’re a special existence that I admire...”

“Then do you understand your current identity? Who you are to me, Qi Lei?”

Qi Lei frowned and asked.

“I know. I don’t want to accept a feeling of guilt. All these years, I’ve wanted to walk out of the obsession more than anyone else. I also want to be with you with all my heart, but I...”

Dongfang Liuyun was also a proud woman. Back then, she could not protect Lan Qi. Now, she naturally wanted to do her best to protect Qi Lei.

“I really wish that I didn’t have to struggle in these disputes. That way, I can at least live a more carefree life.”

Dongfang Liuyun sighed, “But, it’s because I know my situation too well that I have to fight for it. I know that you’re doing this for my own good, but we don’t need to take unnecessary responsibilities. I’ve been wandering for so many years. I won’t be like those ignorant women waiting for the so-called scene of a hero saving the damsel in distress. There are some things that I need to resolve myself.”

“Your pride makes me speechless, Liuyun.”

Qi Lei said as he clenched the cup in his hand.

“No, this is stubbornness. I think this is very important.”

“Are you sure you can handle it yourself?”

Qi Lei confirmed again.

Dongfang Liuyun nodded.

Only then did Qi Lei take a deep breath and stand up slowly. He held her slender waist with one hand and set aside his cup with the other. Then, he caressed her head leisurely before letting go of her. He walked unhurriedly towards the corridor ahead.

Dongfang Liuyun suddenly turned to look at him. After some thought, she finally chased after him.

...

After a simple meal, Dongfang Liuyun left the house and went straight to the old Dongfang mansion. Qi Lei insisted on going to work.

Dongfang Liuyun rarely returned to the old Dongfang mansion. The Dongfang couple had moved out of the old mansion and lived in the Tanshan Villa area. Therefore, unless it was a special occasion, Dongfang Liuyun usually did not go back.

Thus, sometimes, when she came back, she would find the house very unfamiliar.

The car stopped steadily in front of the door.

Dongfang Liuyun got out of the car swiftly. Just as she walked to the door, the guard opened the door and greeted respectfully—

“Fourth Lady is back!”

Dongfang Liuyun nodded and continued to walk inside.

“Fourth Lady is back!”

Dongfang Liuyun had just reached the steps in front of the door when she ran into the butler.

“Mmm, is Grandmother at home?”

Dongfang Liuyun asked directly.

“The Elder Madam has been waiting for you in the study for a long time. Fourth Lady, last night, the Elder Madam was very unhappy, you...”

The butler still kindly reminded her.

Dongfang Liuyun nodded and walked over with sonorous steps, heading straight for Dongfang Shuman’s study.

“Fourth Sister you really took your own sweet time. Were you so busy yesterday that you forgot grandmother’s birthday? Last night, everyone waited for you and Third Aunt for an entire hour without eating. Fourth Sister, don’t you have anything to say?”

Dongfang Liuyun had just walked to the stairs when Dongfang Rou’er’s slightly mocking voice came from the side.

Dongfang Liuyun quickly stopped in her tracks and subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice. As expected, she saw Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou’er sitting on the sofa drinking tea. The two of them seemed to be flipping through wedding photo albums. In the past few days, due to the pressure from the two families, Dongfang Rou’er had to agree and take wedding photos first. If the time was right, the wedding would be held at the end of the year.

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun shrugged nonchalantly, “I remember that I had someone call back. I can understand that you are always prepared to be aggressive, but please be clear about the situation. Taiyu Corporation is already urging for the proposal, but you guys seem quite free. If you don’t have the ability to accept it, tell me earlier.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. The proposal has just been finished and is about to be sent to Taiyu Corporation. As for you, you haven’t given me the data yet. Even if you want to blame it on someone, it should be you first.”

“This isn’t something that our Marketing Department should be doing. We are already magnanimous enough to agree to help. If you’re so good, why don’t you take it back and do it yourself?”

“You...”

‘Bang!’

Dongfang Rou’er only said this when a loud sound suddenly came from the entrance. The few of them subconsciously looked over and exclaimed—

“Madam, are you alright? What happened to you?”

It was the servant’s anxious voice.

Following the voice, they realized that Lin Yuanyuan had fainted on the ground and her phone had fallen to the side.

“Mother! What’s wrong? Mother!”

Dongfang Rou’er was also shocked. She quickly rushed over and helped Lin Yuanyuan up with the servant.

Lin Yuanyuan’s face was pale and she was in a daze. It was the butler who came over and pinched her human center, before Lin Yuanyuan regained her senses.

“Mother, are you okay? What’s wrong?”
