Xi Xinyi carefully left Qi Lei’s office. When he heard the door close, Qi Lei leaned back in his chair. At this moment, the door to the lounge suddenly opened and Dongfang Liuyun slowly walked out.

“She’s Xi Xiaye’s sister, Xi Xinyi, right?”

Those things that happened were in the past now. Even though Dongfang Liuyun was not close to them, she seemed to have heard about some of those things that happened. When Wang Hui passed away, she had gone to attend the funeral. She more or less heard some rumors from some people.

Qi Lei turned around when he heard this. When he saw her walking over, he nodded. “That’s her.”

“She looks quite disappointed, but listening to her speak, I can tell that she’s quite strong now.”

Dongfang Liuyun listened to most of their conversation from the lounge.

“What she did to Xi Xiaye back then was unspeakable, but Xi Xiaye never thought of taking revenge on her. Mu Yuchen even thought of ways to give her a chance. Back then, after Han Yifeng left City Z, he made a deal with me. That was how things ended up like today. Actually, Mu Yuchen was only thinking about Xi Xiaye’s feelings back then. Xiaye is a very kind person, and Mu Yuchen is the same. They can’t bring themselves to be ruthless with their own people.”

“And I’ve learned a lot from them.”

“Then, I should be glad that you met them before me. You should be grateful that they influenced you.”

Dongfang Liuyun came to the table and propped her hands on the table as she looked down at him.

Qi Lei smiled. “Actually, I’m pretty good. I just haven’t met anyone who can make me be obedient. If only you had married me earlier.”

As he said that, he could not help but stand up straight. He could not help but reach out to touch her cold face. The gaze in his black eyes was as soft as the warm sun, and his voice was emotional and soft—

“You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Even though I have seen countless women, only you can amaze me. I admit that I am a little shallow, but I do not want to hide it from you. Afte getting to know you, I realized that you are too good. You are so good that I am not sure if I have the qualifications to have you. Fortunately, I had the courage to take the first step.”

“Am I really that outstanding to you?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s lips curled into a smile.

“Of course, no matter how much I doubt it, I wouldn’t doubt my own judgment.” Qi Lei answered with certainty, looking at her with an unusually frank gaze.

Dongfang Liuyun chuckled softly, and the gloom on her face faded slightly. She sighed softly. “I’m afraid that I’m not that good. It’s impossible for a person to only have good points. I have quite a lot of shortcomings.”

“It’s alright. I’m so magnanimous. I’ll definitely be tolerant.”

“It’s hard to say now,” said Dongfang Liuyun.

“Let’s wait and see then. I’ll use my entire life to prove this to you.”

Qi Lei was full of confidence in the future of the two of them. He was filled with hope and anticipation.

Dongfang Liuyun chuckled quietly. After a while, she reached out to grab his hand that was gently touching her cheek. “Then, I’ll trust you.”

“Thank you for your trust, Mrs. Qi. Alright, it’s about time. Let’s take you out for a meal. Then, we’ll go shopping to see if there’s anything you like. It’s been so long since we went shopping.”

Qi Lei raised his hand to pat her shoulder and slowly stood up.

Dongfang Liuyun stood up as well. “Then, let’s go for hotpot. I feel like eating something warm right now.”

“As you wish.”

Qi Lei said this, then took the coat on the shelf and handed it to her. He also took his own coat and put it on, before the couple left the office unhurriedly.

...

In the afternoon, in Dongfang Shuman’s study.

A violent cough was heard. Ah Cai was shocked when she walked in. She quickly quickened her pace and walked in. Before she got close, she saw Dongfang Shuman struggling to hold the table and gasp for breath.

“President Shu!”

Ah Cai rushed forward in a panic and supported her.

Dongfang Shuman took a few deep breaths in a row before she calmed down slightly. There was still a sickly weakness on her old face.

“President Shu, let me help you back to the bed. You shouldn’t be wearing yourself out.”

Ah Cai was very worried, especially since the weather was getting colder and colder these days. Dongfang Shuman’s health was also getting worse and worse. Doctor Zhong had come over several times in the past few days.

“It’s okay. I don’t feel comfortable laying in bed for too long. Help me sit on the sofa,” Dongfang Shuman said with some difficulty.

Ah Cai nodded and quickly helped her to sit on the sofa. She even poured her a cup of warm water.

“President Shu, drink some water.”

Dongfang Shuman took it and took a sip.

“Ah Cai, I feel that my days are coming to an end, especially recently. I can’t even concentrate. Your old President has been away for a long time, I’m afraid he won’t have the patience to wait for me for too long.”

Dongfang Shuman held the armrest of the sofa with one hand and sighed.

“No, President Shu! You have to live a long life. You haven’t seen Miss Liuyun have her wedding and have a cute great-grandson with her husband! You won’t go so fast. As long as you take good care of your health, you will definitely get better and hold on...”

A Cai naturally could not stand hearing such words. Now that she said this, her throat was filled with bitterness.

“I’m still clear about my health. Now that even Uncle Ming has left, I feel lonely holding on by myself.”

As Dongfang Shuman said this, her gaze fell on the newspaper on the low table in front of her.

Ah Cai was stunned!

She had forgotten about the newspaper?

She had also found out about the fire at De Bao House last night, and it was the first time she had heard about it. The reason why she did not dare to tell Dongfang Shuman so quickly was because she was worried about how she would react emotionally...

“President Shu, this...”

“You don’t have to say anything else. I have already inquired about the general situation. That old fellow, he’s served our Dongfang family for many years. We can’t treat him unfairly. Help me take care of his funeral. He was very respectful to Elder Dongfang when he was alive, so let’s bury him next to our Dongfang family’s cemetery.”

As Dongfang Shuman spoke, she took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

Ah Cai was in a trance for a moment. She felt like crying, she had suppressed her emotions for a long time, and now she could finally vent them. She sniffed and could not help but say in a hoarse voice, “Yes, President Shu. I understand. I’ll go arrange it.”

“Mmm, don’t be too sad. There will always be such a day. He’s lived for so long, sometimes, it’s also a kind of relief.”
