Chapter 1938: Not For Love (6)

Qi Lei lowered his gaze after Dongfang Liuyun said that. He thought about it and did not say anything. He suddenly got up and walked out of the ward.

Dongfang Liuyun frowned as she watched his figure disappear outside the door. After thinking for a long time, she finally could not help but get up and follow him out.

She had just walked out of the door to look around. When she turned around the corner of the lounge, she could smell the faint smell of smoke in the air. She subconsciously looked up and saw Qi Lei standing in front of the window in the lounge across from her, he had a lit cigarette between his fingers and was smoking it intermittently.

Dongfang Liuyun was silent for a while before walking over.

“Smoking is bad for your health.”

Dongfang Liuyun stopped beside him, turned to look up at him indifferently, then reached out to take the half of the cigarette between his fingers and brought it to her mouth. She took a light puff before putting it out in the ashtray with a frown.

Qi Lei coughed lightly. He turned his head and looked at her silently. Seeing her frown, he asked in a low voice, “How does it taste?”

“It’s quite bitter.” Dongfang Liuyun replied directly.

Qi Lei chuckled softly. He extended his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. “It’s bad indeed.”

“Didn’t you wish for him to regain consciousness?” Dongfang Liuyun asked calmly.

Qi Lei was silent for a moment before replying, “You’re right. No matter what, he’s still my father. Naturally, I wish for him to wake up. However, there are many things that I have to face later on. I already thought that I was left with nothing.”

“You… sometimes, you’re quite pessimistic. I can understand that. That’s just the past. Am I not still here? As long as you don’t lose me, you can slowly manage the rest.”

Dongfang Liuyun seemed to be able to capture Qi Lei’s mood. He must be worried that if he were to put in the effort to manage this kinship again, when the time came…

Some people, if they were constantly being attacked by the storm, would become braver the more they fought and endure it as if it was nothing. However, once they had a sense of warmth and a certain expectation in their hearts, they would not be able to endure it when they returned to how it was before.

Qi Lei was clearly like this.

“It’s not that I hope that you can respect or love your father. In life, other than feelings, there are often obligations and responsibilities that need to be taken on. If you are like this, then it’s the same for me.”

Dongfang Liuyun sighed and reached out to grab his arm. Her eyes were as bright as the stars. “So, don’t think too much. Just let nature take its course.”

“You’re more optimistic than I am.”

There was a faint light in his deep eyes. He felt a little helpless, “It would be best if he wakes up. When his condition is stable, let him be discharged from the hospital. My mother used to have a villa in the west side of the city. When my mother was still around, she often lived alone there. My father wanted to go there before, but my mother didn’t agree. The environment there is pretty good. Let him rest there.”

When Qi Lei said this, his tone was a little relieved. His voice sounded quite calm.

“Mm, make the arrangements. As long as you’re happy, it’ll be fine. I haven’t seen you relax at all recently.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she reached out to tap on his tightly furrowed brows.

Qi Lei only smiled at this moment.

“You’re really forcing this smile. It’s my fault for making you so unhappy. Tell me, how do I make you smile?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s tone had a teasing hint. As she spoke, she reached out to gently lift his chin.

Qi Lei then glanced at her and said nonchalantly, “Save it. You’re no match for me when it comes to acting like an overbearing president.”

“Is that so?”

Dongfang Liuyun shrugged.

“Otherwise, let’s see how you’ll pursue me.”

“I don’t believe that someone like you won’t be moved by my beauty.” Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and said plainly.

“I really don’t dare to refute what you said.”

Qi Lei could not help but laugh.

Because once he refuted, he would probably have to suffer when he went back at night. So, it was better to just let her be.

The night was getting late. The stars in the distant night sky were a little lonely. The cold wind kept flapping the curtains by the window.

When Dongfang Rou’er dragged her exhausted body back to her room, she had just turned on the lights when she unexpectedly saw Lin Yuanyuan, who was waiting on the sofa at the side.

“Mother? Why aren’t you asleep yet? You scared me!”

Dongfang Rou’er looked at her mother who had suddenly appeared and asked in surprise.

Lin Yuanyuan then raised his eyes to look at Dongfang Rou’er who had just walked in. “You’re back so late. Where have you been? Ah Sheng called you a few times but you didn’t pick up. He just left not too long ago. What’s up with you?”

Her questioning tone naturally made Dongfang Rou’er feel a trace of disgust in her heart. She frowned and put the bag in her hand into the cabinet at the side before saying, “There was an event at the company. Do you think I’m very free? What did he come over for? Didn’t I tell him that I would be very busy in the next two days? The wedding photos have been taken and sent over. The wedding date is right in front of me. I have to try my best to arrange things. It’s the end of the year and the New Year is coming soon

“You know that your wedding date is coming soon. Have you taken some time to visit the Jin family in the coming days? Why don’t you care about your own wedding? Ah Sheng is still accommodating you, but you can’t do this!”

Lin Yuanyuan’s tone was full of dissatisfaction.

“What about me? I already said that I’m very busy! Did Jin Sheng tell you about me? All of you know better than me what this marriage is all about. I sacrificed myself to fulfill my brother’s wish and fulfill my father’s wish. What did I get? All of you knew long ago that the reason I agreed to Jin Sheng’s proposal was not for love!”

Dongfang Rou’er’s tone was unusually cold and hard. As the wedding date approached, she felt more and more indignant. She did not love Jin Sheng at all, but because of their interests, she had to marry Jin Sheng?

On what basis?

On what basis could she, Dongfang Liuyun, control her own marriage and marry an outstanding person like Qi Lei, while she, Dongfang Rou’er, had to marry someone she did not love?

Moreover, after marrying him, she had to fight still. The whirlpool of the Jin family was not necessarily simpler than the Dongfang family’s.

“What are you saying? You’re crazy! Your wedding with Ah Sheng is happening soon, and you’re still saying such things! Did I force you? Didn’t you say you were willing to accept this marriage? I didn’t see you unhappy back then. What’s wrong with you? Why do I find that you’ve become a little strange lately, you’re not like the usual you!”
