Chapter 2045: Late Night Wind and Rain (5)

“Thank you.”

Dongfang Liuyun looked at Xi Xiaye gratefully.

Xi Xiaye looked at Dongfang Liuyun with a gentle expression—

She was wearing a black coat with a grayish-black winter dress underneath. It was her usual outfit. Her long hair was tied up and tied behind her head with a simple wooden hairpin. As she looked at it, she seemed a little otherworldly.

However, her face looked a little haggard and pale, and it was hard to hide the fatigue between her brows.

“I used to have some friendship with Vice President Wang. When she passed away, I was by her side. I promised her that I would take care of Qi Lei as if he was my brother. Time passed by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed.”

Xi Xiaye sighed as she quietly bent down and placed the bouquet of carnations in front of Wang Qin’s tombstone.

“Qi Lei said before that it’s been hard on you, and Chairman Mu. The reason why Qi Lei was able to walk out of the haze today is because you and him have put in a lot of effort.”

Dongfang Liuyun’s starry eyes were filled with gratitude as she turned to look at Xi Xiaye who was quietly getting up.

“You’ve already thanked me the last time, so you don’t have to be so courteous. I’ve always treated Qi Lei as one of us. This time, when Qi Lei got into trouble, I couldn’t help much, I feel very bad. However, I believe that the heavens will bring good fortune to him. He’ll be fine.”

Xi Xiaye replied, then she turned to meet Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze. “So, you have to pull yourself together. For the baby in you, who knows, he might even be my daughter-in-law or son-in-law in the future?”

Xi Xiaye recalled what she had teased Qi Lei previously.

When she heard this, Dongfang Liuyun’s expression softened a little. She quietly lowered her gaze and looked at her still flat belly. “We’ll still have to wait for a long time.”

It was only two months now, and she was going to be pregnant for ten months. There were still eight months left. Dongfang Liuyun suddenly felt that it was a very long time. God knows, she had been looking forward to it for a long time. If their father knew that they was coming, would he be very excited and happy?

“If you’re looking forward to it, it won’t be too long. You have to take care of yourself now and don’t work too hard. Recently, you’ve been looking very tired.”

Xi Xiaye was concerned.

“It’s alright. I can handle it,” Dongfang Liuyun replied.

“Regarding the Dongfang Group, just let me know if you need any help. It’s such a big company, you...”

Xi Xiaye did not know how to say it. She just felt that Dongfang Liuyun was amazing!

She herself had Mu Yuchen’s help before, and she had taken over Fuhua with ease. She did not have such a complicated relationship as she did with the Dongfang group, and Dongfang Liuyun was different from her. Looking at it this way, it must be much more difficult than Xi Xiaye had it. With her parents like that, and Qi Lei in trouble too. For some reason, she really felt sorry for Dongfang Liuyun, but looking at Liuyun now, she did not seem to care too much about these things. Instead, she came to see Wang Qin.

This was a woman who valued relationships!

Xi Xiaye silently gave Dongfang Liuyun this evaluation in her heart.

If she had encountered such a situation, she would most likely have broken down already. How could she still be so strong?

“It’s good that you’re used to it. No matter how big the hurdle is, it’ll eventually pass. I don’t want to think too much. It’s good that I’ve tried my best.”

Dongfang Liuyun replied then quietly glanced at Wang Qin before continuing, “If it’s not a life-and-death parting, what could be worse? I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Dongfang Liuyun suddenly turned around slowly and looked at the bleak scene below. She sighed quietly and did not say anything else as her beautiful figure walked past.

“I’ll go back first. I still have to go to the hospital for a visit. Goodbye, Xiaye!”

“Goodbye!” Xi Xiaye replied as Dongfang Liuyun’s figure walked towards the stairs ahead.

Very soon, Dongfang Liuyun’s figure slowly disappeared at the end of the path ahead.

Xi Xiaye looked away after a long while and sighed softly. She looked down at the photo of Wang Qin and the bouquet of daisies that Dongfang Liuyun had brought over. Suddenly, she felt that it was such a strong and beautiful flower, it was a little like Dongfang Liuyun’s personality...

“Auntie Wang, may the spirits in heaven bless Qi Lei and Liuyun to be safe and sound for the rest of their lives. They’ve both experienced too much pain and hardship. It’s not easy. Xiaye can empathize with what they’ve gone through, but she doesn’t know how to help either. The years can be peaceful, I only hope that you’ll bless them to be safe and sound for the rest of their lives...”

Xi Xiaye suddenly put her hands together and prayed silently at Wang Qin’s tombstone. She hoped that Wang Qin’s spirits in heaven could hear her prayers. What else could she do?

...

Today is New Year’s Eve, night time, everywhere is a lively.

There were fireworks and lanterns on display, large, festive red lanterns also hung high. In the clear sky, countless fireworks constantly bloomed.

Dongfang Gan could not be discharged yet, Song Siting accompanied him at the hospital, Dongfang Liuyun also accompanied Dongfang Gan and Song Siting in the hospital until late at night. Later on it was Song Siting who chased her home.

Dongfang Liuyun did not drive that night either. She asked Driver Wang to send her to the vicinity of the Grand Lake Villa area and let him go back. He should be spending the New Year’s Eve with his family tonight.

Dongfang Liuyun walked silently through the quiet and dark street. The streetlights were a little dim, dragging her shadow on the ground a little longer.

Dongfang Liuyun walked quietly. Suddenly, she heard a series of sounds coming from above her head. Following that, a flash of light suddenly bloomed in front of her eyes.

She quickly looked up and saw that the night sky above her was blooming with brilliant fireworks.

She immediately stopped and looked into the distance. As she watched, she suddenly missed Qi Lei very much. She did not know that she could miss someone to the point of heartbreak. As she looked at the cluster of fireworks in front of her, she could vaguely see Qi Lei’s appearance, she suddenly felt like crying.

However, she knew that she could not!

She thought to herself, that she had probably really fallen in love with Qi Lei. Otherwise, she would not be this sad and suffering so much...

Often, loss was the catalyst for emotions. If you did not experience it once, you would not know how to cherish it!

She probably deserved it. She was always one step too late. However, could she still make it this time around with Qi Lei?

Could she?

She did not know the answer, and the only response she got was the desolate night breeze.

He would be fine. She consoled herself that he had promised to spend the rest of his life with her and promised her his life.

She believed him and was willing to grow old with him...

After a long time, she finally averted her gaze and was about to head home. Unexpectedly, just as she took a step forward, she met a pair of eyes as deep as the sea...
