Qin Su’s figure quickly disappeared at the staircase, so Mu Yuchen did not try to stop her.
However, for some reason, the more he looked at her, the more he felt that this Qin Su really suited Zhou Zimo, especially with her personality.
Even Su Chen said that Zhou Zimo seemed to have masochist tendencies. In the past, he had always been magnanimous. If this Qin Su could make him suffer a little, it would be a good show to look forward to.
When he thought about this, Mu Yuchen seemed to be looking forward to what would happen between Zhou Zimo and this Qin Su.
Of course, Li Si had already told him about Zhou Zimo’s recent movements
He would send a bunch of roses to Qin Su every day. Even though she did not seem to appreciate it, but…
…
“Master, it’s Master Mo..”
Mu Yuchen had just walked out of the cafe when Li Si came over with his mobile phone. “He called you a few times, but your phone was turned off.”
Mu Yuchen took out his phone from his pocket when he realized that his phone was turned off.
“Tell him to come straight to Maple Residence.”
Mu Yuchen sat in the car after he said that.
“Okay, Master! Master, do you want to pick up Missus?”
“No need. I’ll go pick her up tonight.”
Xi Xiaye returned to the Shen Residence. The children were there too. Mu Yuchen found it rather boring to stay alone like this. Usually, on weekends, he would accompany the children to the amusement park or help the children with their homework, otherwise, he would go out with Xi Xiaye for some spa day. His days were pretty carefree.
“Okay, Master.”
…
Lan Xiu still rushed over.
“Aunty Song, how are you feeling?”
When Lan Xiu came over, he did not see Qi Lei, but Dongfang Liuyun was still there, and the doctor had just finished examining Song Siting.
“I’m much better. Actually, it’s not too serious. It’s not really a major injury. The doctor said that I’ll be fine after resting for a while. Sorry for troubling you to come over.”
Song Siting was still unable to move as she laid there. She actually valued Lan Xiu very much.
“Aunty, are you still treating me like an outsider at this time? But it’s good that you’re fine. I’ve already asked Ah Li to help the police. I definitely won’t let the person who did this escape so easily. Aunty has been in this line of work all year round. In the future, why don’t you bring along a few more bodyguards? That way, Uncle Dongfang will be more at ease.” Lan Xiu advised.
“It’s fine. After so many years, I’m already used to it. Sit down.”
Song Siting’s voice was naturally still a little weak.
“Okay,” Lan Xiu replied and sat down.
Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything. She had not rested for the entire night. At this moment, she was a little tired. She poured a glass of water for Lan Xiu and sat down on the sofa.
“Liuyun, you look tired. Why don’t you go back and rest? I’ll take care of things here.”
Lan Xiu looked at Dongfang Liuyun and felt his heart ache. His black eyes were filled with concern. “You look terrible.”
“It’s okay, I’ll just sleep later and I’ll be fine.”
Dongfang Liuyun waved her hand indifferently.
“Where’s Qi Lei? Why isn’t he by your side?”
Lan Xiu had looked around for Qi Lei earlier. Should he not be staying here with her at such a time?
“He’s stayed for the whole night too. I told him to go back first. He’s got some data that hasn’t been completed yet, he’ll need it for the meeting tomorrow. It can’t be delayed. Come out for a while.”
Seeing that Song Siting had already closed her eyes to rest, Dongfang Liuyun got up and walked straight out of the door.
Lan Xiu hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Song Siting before following her out.
The corridor outside the ward was empty. There was no one there, and it was very quiet.
The afternoon sun shone through the window, and the floor was also bathed in a layer of warm light.
Dongfang Liuyun walked towards the window, her hands leisurely propping up the window frame. Her starry eyes looked indifferently at the sky outside. “How’s the matter with Mr. Ge? Has he relented?”
“He’s still hesitating. You know why.”
Lan Xiu said in a low voice and looked at her with a complicated expression. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and could not help but raise her hand to rub the space between her brows. “Maybe we shouldn’t have looked for Mr. Ge in the first place. Otherwise, things wouldn’t be so tense now.”
“Don’t say that, Liuyun… we didn’t know that Mr. Ge would be like this. We can only say…”
Lan Xiu looked at Dongfang Liuyun’s expression, and his heart silently ached. He could not bear to see her so helpless and self-reproachful, but…
“Don’t worry. If I really have no other choice, I’ll go to him. Everyone has spent too much effort on this project. I can’t let everyone’s efforts go to waste. This matter is between him and me. Lan Xiu, I know about your relationship with him too. Only we know about the enmity between us. I hope that no matter what happens, you won’t interfere. Can you fulfill this request?”
Dongfang Liuyun looked up at Lan Xiu silently as she spoke. Lan Xiu did not know how to respond to such a sharp gaze.
“Liuyun, I…”
“I know you’ve been in contact with him. Lan Xiu, let me tell you. My future is with Qi Lei. It has nothing to do with Fujiwara. I don’t want to spend too much time on him. You’re my good friend. We’ve been intimate since we were young. Lan Xiu, I hope that you can respect me and Qi Lei.”
“I know that Fujiwara’s motive for coming back this time might be because of me, but I’m now Qi Lei’s wife. I just want to live a simple life with him. Is that so hard to ask?”
“Liuyun… I’m afraid that you’re actually running away by choosing Qi Lei, right?”
Lan Xiu looked deeply at Dongfang Liuyun and asked in a low voice.
Dongfang Liuyun did not answer. She just turned her head to face the window and closed her eyes slightly.
“Don’t lie to yourself. Do you know why I never dared to agree to you or express my feelings to you? Other than worrying that I can’t give you happiness, it’s also because I know that you can’t let go…”
“Enough, Lan Xiu. You’ve overestimated the extent of my devotion. I won’t regret my choice. Love is one thing, but marriage and life is another. You may know the hardships I’ve endured over the years, but the person who can empathize with me and understand me better is Qi Lei. I’ve acknowledged him.”
Dongfang Liuyun said this and took a deep breath. She no longer looked at Lan Xiu and turned around to leave.
Lan Xiu was stunned. He was about to chase after her when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated…
