Chapter 1683: Meet (3)
It was already past one in the morning when they returned to Grand Lake Villa District. The couple quickly took a hot shower.
Because they took a walk in the middle of the night amid the cool breeze, Qi Lei made some hot soup to drive away the cold. The two of them drank some and felt much better after that.
Of course, Dongfang Liuyun did not sleep right away because the documents that had been blown away still needed to be sorted out.
When Qi Lei came out of the bathroom after washing up and did not see anyone, he frowned and went straight to the study. As expected, he saw her frowning as she sorted out the pile of slightly wrinkled documents.
Just as Dongfang Liuyun was focused on reading, she suddenly felt something behind her. She subconsciously turned her head back to look, and her entire body was already in the air as she was lifted up by Qi Lei.
“What’s wrong…”
“It’s already two in the morning. Rest early. You can do these tomorrow. There are more important things to do now. I’ll help you tidy up tomorrow. It’s time to rest anyway.”
As Qi Lei said this, he turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
He was so obvious that Dongfang Liuyun naturally understood what he meant…
…
Needless to say, Qi Lei’s enthusiasm that night gave Dongfang Liuyun a fright. After a few rounds of battle, when she held him down, he grabbed her shoulder and said with some restraint, “Don’t move. How long has it been since mid last month?!”
Less than a month, how long could it be?
Dongfang Liuyun almost vomited blood!
When the wind and rain stopped and the two of them fell asleep, it was almost dawn.
…
The next day, Dongfang Liuyun really could not get up. She had been working day and night for a few days. It had been a long time since she had a good rest. Subconsciously, she told herself that today was a day of rest, so she took this opportunity to have a good sleep.
Qi Lei woke up quite early, but he slept with her until it was almost noon. Then, he unhurriedly got up, washed up, and changed into a clean set of casual clothes before going downstairs to make lunch.
There were actually no ingredients in the fridge at home. Fortunately, it was early enough, so Qi Lei drove out to buy some food. When he came back, he prepared the food, but Dongfang Liuyun was nowhere to be seen.
After preparing the food, he was about to go upstairs to call her when he suddenly heard a commotion upstairs. He quickly looked up and saw Dongfang Liuyun slowly walking down the stairs—
She was dressed in a long white shirt that covered her thighs and light-colored shorts. She was dressed very simply.
Although it was still raining outside and the weather was a little cold, it was just right to be home.
“What delicious food are you cooking? You can smell the aroma from afar.”
Dongfang Liuyun went straight to the table and pulled out a chair to sit down.
“Try it. It’s all your favorite food. I was just about to go upstairs to call you.”
Qi Lei brought her a bowl of rice.
Dongfang Liuyun also picked it up and looked at the full bowl of rice. After some thought for a while, she put half of it into his bowl, “I woke up from hunger as well. I haven’t finished organizing the documents from yesterday, so I can’t leave them behind. I have to go to the market tomorrow to take a look. There are too many things to do and I can’t manage the time. I’ll probably have to leave early and return late in the next few days.”
After Dongfang Liuyun said that, she picked up her bowl, picked up a dish, and ate elegantly.
Qi Lei unhurriedly scooped half a bowl of soup for her and moved it over as he replied, “You’re going all out. What do you plan to do? A jewelry exhibition?”
“Yes, this is one of the projects. I also plan to hold a large-scale charity auction at the same time to auction off some of the antiques I have on hand, including the newly listed jewelry. I’ve already contacted the foundation. All the funds raised will be donated to the out-of-school children in the countryside to help them build new schools. There’s been a lot of rain recently, and many schools in places with poor conditions have collapsed.”
Dongfang Liuyun was a person who traveled far all year round. She had been to many places and had left her kind heart in many places.
“Smart!”
Qi Lei gave her a look of approval. “Your idea is quite bold. Aren’t you worried…”
“You should know that I’ve always been a person who doesn’t care about what others think. I’ll do what I can to do the best I can. Being a businessman is all about efficiency, isn’t it?”
Dongfang Liuyun did not wait for Qi Lei to finish his sentence. She already knew what he wanted to say, so she cut him off.
Qi Lei listened and nodded immediately. He thought for a moment and asked, “Where’s the invitation?”
“Are you going to help?”
Dongfang Liuyun looked at him in surprise.
Qi Lei was leisurely drinking his soup. He lowered his eyes and said, “I’ll invite a few guests to support you. Some of the highly popular artistes signed by the company will go over to support you. Perhaps there will be some obvious effects. You can organize a simple charity show. There are still a few days until then. It’s enough to arrange.”
When Qi Lei said this, Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes lit up. She said unceremoniously, “Really?”
“Do I look like I’m joking right now?” Qi Lei replied nonchalantly before lowering his head to continue drinking his soup.
At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun could not help but smile faintly. Suddenly, she reached out and picked up a dish from her bowl, “Then, help me settle this matter. I’ll give you the specific procedures later and insert the program into it. We’ll also need to add some content to the promotional plan immediately.”
“As you wish,” Qi Lei simply replied with these two words before picking up his bowl and eating. “We’ll discuss it after lunch. Eating is more important now. I’m feeling a little hungry too.”
“Then eat more. It’s a reward for you!”
As soon as Qi Lei finished speaking, Dongfang Liuyun put a few more dishes into his bowl and instantly filled it up.
Qi Lei glanced sideways at her. “You do know how to reward others with the fruits of their labor.”
Dongfang Liuyun shrugged. “Otherwise, you can stop eating too. I can wrap all these up.”
“In your dreams.”
Qi Lei reprimanded her in a low voice. After some thought, he said, “Actually, your appetite is quite amazing. It’s just that you haven’t grown any flesh. You’re just a pile of bones.”
“You’ve lost weight too.”
She looked up from the bowl and said the same thing to him.
“Actually, I’m quite worried about you. Wang Chun said that you’ve been working quite hard recently. Why don’t you get the Human Resources Department to assign you an additional secretary? At least you won’t have to work so hard.”
Qi Lei’s eyes were filled with concern as he met her gaze quietly.
“Just think of it as all for the future. It’s hard to convince the public when you’re parachuting in. I’m sure you understand this better than I do.”
