Chapter 1253 Lucky To Have Met You 1
As her words threw Qi Lei into a daze, he vaguely remembered that a long time ago, Xi Xiaye seemed to have said something similar to her. However, he was left speechless every single time too.
“What do you think about my parents then?” Qi Lei thought about it and then asked this hesitantly.
Upon hearing that, Dongfang Liuyun just laughed and shook her head. “I don’t like making too much judgments about other people’s relationships. Whether it’s love or hate, or deep or shallow, perhaps only they would know themselves best. Sometimes, as large as a conflict may be, it could also be resolved in an instant, yet the ego of two people…”
When Dongfang Liuyun said that, she did not continue. Instead, she calmly averted her gaze and bowed respectfully to the tombstone before her, then turned to leave.
“I’ll wait for you down there,” she said, and before Qi Lei could respond, she had walked down lightly and calmly just as the aloof person she was. Even her aura was calm as the breeze.
Those words floated in the cool breeze. When Qi Lei turned to look at her, he only saw her frail back. She looked fragile, and showered underneath the hazy autumn sun, she looked extra lonely.
Actually, Dongfang Liuyun did not think of coming along with Qi Lei. It was only because they were playing games and Qi Lei had beaten her. After some thought, he thought of visiting Wang Qin, but he was afraid of this bleak loneliness, so he thought of getting her to accompany him.
The air fell silent in an instant. It was very quiet, so quiet that he could only hear his own breathing.
Qi Lei silently looked at Wang Qin’s picture. His voice was low and gentle as he said, “Mother, I’ve come to see you today. I wonder if you’re doing well over there…
“I was wrong. I used to always disobey you and always go against what you want. I’m really a horrible person. You didn’t give birth to me easily either. Not only did I rob you of good days, but I also didn’t even give you any grandchildren. I’ve really let you down.
“But don’t worry. Your son’s set up his own business now. When everything’s returned to calm, I’ll find a good woman and spend my days well. It’s just that without you around, I feel like my heart’s empty, and it’s hard to find a feeling of home. I don’t know whether after I’ve gotten you a daughter-in-law, if I’ll…
“Do well over there. Your son won’t be bullied anymore. In the next lifetime, don’t marry my father. Without me, you might not have suffered so much either. That way, you’d at least live a happier life. When we pass on, there’s no need for those things. How silly of you…”
…
Qi Lei spoke a lot. Towards the end, he did not know what he had said either. He just knew that when he turned around to leave Wang Qin, the weather was great as the warm autumn sun showered its faint rays of twilight on the ground…
Dongfang Liuyun had been waiting for a long time in the car.
The car was hers. It was a black Wrangler, Dongfang Liuyun was sitting in the driver’s seat, casually browsing through a travel magazine.
Bam!
The car door was closed as Qi Lei sat down without a word. His expression clearly showed that something was weighing on him.
Dongfang Liuyun shot him a calm look, but she did not disturb him. She looked away and continued browsing through that final page, then she set it aside. She casually fixed her messy hair before quietly starting the car.
“Do you have a lecture in the afternoon?” Qi lei reached out to turn on the music as he asked.
Dongfang Liuyun swiftly made a half-turn and then steadily drove out of the parking spot as she calmly responded, “I don’t have a lecture, but I do have to go get some materials from the research institute. Then, I need to find more materials from the city library.”
She had quite a few things to do today, but she had agreed to the bet, so she must accept the loss, Qi Lei had asked her to go with his conditions, hence she could only go along with it.
Qi Lei thought about it for a moment, then said, “Let’s go eat first. I also need to make a trip to the library this afternoon. What a coincidence.”
He had actually been staying at the hotel these past few days. When he left, he had even taken the few books he had borrowed from the library with him since he wanted to return them anyway.
“This car’s not too comfortable. Shouldn’t you change to a more comfortable one?”Qi Lei did not quite like these kinds of high-performance off-road vehicles as they felt uncomfortable to sit in.
Upon hearing that, Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him, then suddenly stepped on the accelerator. Qi Lei involuntarily fell backward in surprise. Upon seeing that Dongfang Liuyun did not look too happy, he realized he had said something wrong, so he quickly tried to appease her, “I’m not saying I don’t like your car. This one costs quite a bit too. I just think that in our city, another car would be more comfortable. When you travel out for work, then it’ll be more suitable to drive this one.”
When Dongfang Liuyun heard that, she did not answer him. Her twinkling eyes squinted, then she turned up the volume of the music.
Qi Lei cleared his throat and lowered the music a little. “I got a pretty good car from Mu Yuchen previously. I have many anyway, so why don’t I give you one? Consider it the start of our friendship, or maybe agree to my marriage proposal in the game? I’ve been courting you for so long now that the people of Hero Hall and the allies are all laughing at me now. I’ve been chasing you for so long and you’re still as cold as ice. If you agree to me, with the combination of our powers, we can definitely conquer the entire region.”
When Qi Lei brought this up, he felt very much sullen. Whether she was Swift Snowy or Dongfang Liuyun, she was hard to tackle! He did not know what was on her mind like right now. They were technically friends, yet he felt like he could not see through her at all.
“When we’ve reached the final level of the game, and if we’re both still alive, we’ll talk then.” Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was as cool as the wind while her hands were steady on the wheel.
“When’s that going to happen?” Qi Lei frowned as he fixed his gaze on her. “Can we negotiate? I’m willing to pay a sky-high price for the betrothal gift.”
“There’s no room for negotiation. You know I don’t need those things,” Dongfang Liuyun answered swiftly and decisively.
“Only I’m a match for you in the entire region.” Qi Lei looked at her confidently and casually took out a cigarette box from his pocket. He took a stick out and leisurely lit it up.
“You’re quite confident.” Dongfang Liuyun chuckled, revealing a smile that was beautiful and moving. Qi Lei was momentarily stunned at this sight. “Keep it up and good fortune will come.”
Upon seeing his eyes turn misty, she looked away and the smile on her face slowly faded.
“Do you think you’re the Goddess of Prophecy?”
