Chapter 2061: I Missed You So Much… (3)

He was so thin that he looked like a lone leaf swaying in the wind.

Mu Yuchen looked at the figure who slowly walked out and felt some sympathy for Qi Lei. It was not pure sympathy, but empathy and understanding.

Had he not been crazy about Xi Xiaye before?

His love for Xi Xiaye was deep in his bones, so Qi Lei’s feelings for Dongfang Liuyun might not be any less than Mu Yuchen’s feelings for Xi Xiaye, right?

Qi Lei was actually a very fragile person. Mu Yuchen could roughly guess Qi Lei’s thoughts deep in his heart—

Thinking about it, it was Dongfang Liuyun’s feelings for him made him feel grateful. After that, love came quietly like that. When he noticed it, it had long been branded deep in his bones.

It was the same for him, and it was the same for Qi Lei…

Mu Yuchen took a deep breath and put out half of his cigarette.

“Master, it’s Master Qi!”

Li Si, the assistant in the front passenger seat, reminded him softly because he saw his master’s expression change several times from the car mirror in front as if he was thinking about something very profound.

Mu Yuchen replied calmly, then he reached out to open the car door.

“Master Qi!”

Li Si held an umbrella to cover the sky above Mu Yuchen’s head as he waved at Qi Lei.

Qi Lei was a little surprised to see Mu Yuchen personally come over to pick him up. His footsteps paused for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

“You’re back!”

Mu Yuchen reached out to greet him, and Qi Lei tacitly reached out to greet him as well. His two large hands gently clasped together.

“You’re back.”

Qi Lei’s deep voice sounded a little weak. Now that he was standing closer, he could see his pale face even more clearly.

Mu Yuchen could imagine one word—

Rebirth after disaster!

There was nothing more fitting than this. Qi Lei’s aura right now was exactly that.

“Get in the car. I’ll send you to Dongfang Group.”

Mu Yuchen let go of his hand as he said this.

“I thought you’d immediately treat me to a welcome home meal.”

Qi Lei took off his sunglasses and revealed a pale and weak handsome face. There was still a faint smile on his handsome face.

“Let’s take a rain check. When you’re better, I’ll treat you as many times as you want. It’s the Lantern Festival today. Aren’t you rushing back just for that one person?”

When he saw that he was fine, Mu Yuchen felt a little relieved. He thought about sending Xi Xiaye a message after he got into the car so that she would not worry.

Qi Lei smiled. His pale face actually blushed a little. With Mu Yuchen’s help, he carefully sat in the car while Mu Yuchen sat in as well.

“I feel like I haven’t seen anyone for centuries. I do miss her a little.”

At this moment, Qi Lei’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He wondered how the woman was doing now?

Did she eat on time? Did she lose weight? Did she look haggard? Was she tired?

Did the child in her stomach make trouble for her?

“Don’t worry. Everything is fine now. Even I have to admire your woman’s abilities. This matter has been resolved satisfactorily.”

“Thank you. I know that you helped stabilize the stock market, and made things easier with Captain Wang. I owe you too much.”

Qi Lei said gratefully, “I don’t wish for her to be so strong.”

During this period of recuperation, he thought about the things she had to take on. His chest was aching. He blamed himself for not protecting her properly.

“The opponent is strong and complicated. You didn’t want things to be that way either. As long as everything is fine.”

“How’s it going in Japan?” Qi Lei asked.

“Fujiwara probably got over it. After he went back, he put Yuo Fujiwara under house arrest and made a big move. The Inoue family’s strength was greatly damaged. “Don’t worry. He left some evidence for the police. I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult for the Inoue family to get back up. I didn’t expect Fujiwara to be able to do this.”

Mu Yuchen was a little surprised.

“He’s always been a ruthless character, but he’s also deeply in love with Liuyun. I don’t know how Liuyun managed to convince him. That man’s obsession isn’t any lesser than mine.”

When Qi Lei said this, he coughed a few times, causing his chest and entire body to ache. His face turned even paler.

“Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital first?” Mu Yuchen asked with concern.

Qi Lei took a deep breath and eased up a little before stopping him. “It’s okay. There’s no need.”

“You don’t have to care. No matter what, Dongfang Liuyun is your woman now.”

“You’re right. I’ve lost to you before in my life. Otherwise, Xi Xiaye might not be with you now.”

“You’re still thinking about this?”

Mu Yuchen smiled.

“Of course, but I’m also lucky that you managed to snatch XI Xiaye back then. Otherwise, Liuyun wouldn’t be mine.”

“So, you still have to thank me?”

“What did you say just now?”

…

As a delicate spring rain fell, the entire world quickly darkened. The street lamps were already turned on, and the world was hazy. The big red lanterns were hung high up, making people feel a little dazed and unreal.

Today was the Lantern Festival!

In fact, the rain was not heavy. It only drizzled from time to time, and one could only feel a little wetness after a while.

It was already past six o’clock in the evening, and the sky was already dark. It was already time to get off work.

Dongfang Gan went to the hospital after the meeting ended. Because he was tired, he felt a little uncomfortable. It was Dongfang Xue who accompanied him to the hospital. When Dongfang Xue called to say that Dongfang Gan was fine, Dongfang Liuyun felt a little relieved.

Now, she needed to finish the pile of work. Since she was not in the office for a while, there was already a pile of thick documents on her desk, so she could only work overtime.

‘Knock knock!’

In the office, just as Dongfang Liuyun was busy and focused, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

“Come in!” Dongfang Liuyun answered without even lifting her eyelids.

“Manager Yun, get off work early. It’s the Lantern Festival today, don’t work too late!”

It was Secretary Ding who spoke!

Lantern Festival!

She had almost forgotten about it!

Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment before she remembered. She was so busy that she lost her mind.

“Okay, I got it. You can go back first. I’ll be back soon!”

After a long while, Dongfang Liuyun replied.

“Alright, Happy Lantern Festival, Manager Yun! This is a small gift from me, representing my blessings. I wish Manager Yun and her family a happy reunion and eternal peace!”

As Secretary Ding spoke, she quickly walked over and placed a gift bag in front of Dongfang Liuyun.

Secretary Ding was a very considerate and attentive person. Whenever there was a festival, she would prepare a small gift for Dongfang Liuyun. It was not very expensive, but it was very thoughtful.

Dongfang Liuyun was naturally very happy and immediately accepted it.

“Thank you, Secretary Ding!”

As she said that, she got up and packed her things to get off work.

“You’re welcome, Manager Yun! See you tomorrow!”
