The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1596 - : Qixi Festival (1)

Chapter 1596: Qixi Festival (1)

It was also late at night, and the Grand Lakes Villa area was still brightly lit.

In the second-floor suite, in the side hall outside the bedroom, Dongfang Liuyun had just finished bathing. She had changed into a comfortable short-sleeved shirt and shorts and was lying on a soft, large sofa. Her pair of snow-white and delicate long legs were placed behind the man, she leisurely leaned against the soft pillow. The screen in front of her was playing a movie. This side hall was directly made into a home theatre, and there was a very exquisite and luxurious bar counter.

Qi Lei’s previous playboy reputation was not undeserved. At least when it came to enjoyment, he would never mistreat himself.

The second floor had a huge cloakroom, a home theatre, and a large study. On the roof, there was a luxurious indoor swimming pool with its own gym. Today, Dongfang Liuyun was specially given a storage room. Dongfang Liuyun simply divided it into two compartments, one was planned to be renovated to store fine wine, while the other was used to collect some of her rare books. Naturally, those antiques stays home.

Dongfang Liuyun was currently leisurely tr.i.m.m.i.n.g the hooks on her fingertips. Her mind was not on the movie at all, but Qi Lei was rather focused on watching it.

After she was done, she sized up her hands. After she was generally satisfied, she reached out to hold Qi Lei’s hand.

This sudden action naturally surprised Qi Lei. He turned his head and saw that she was leisurely helping him trim his nails. He paused and narrowed his eyes at her. Seeing that she was not looking at him, he retracted his gaze and continued to watch his movie.

“Your hands are quite nice-looking, they’re slender and clean.”

She rarely praised him.

“Of course. They’re the hands of a typical Prince Charming. You can only envy them, unlike the calluses on your hands.”

He replied, his tone naturally not showing any modesty.

“How dare you!”

She glanced at him. “They are calloused from the desert some time ago. I should be grateful that I didn’t lose a layer of skin.”

After she said this, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned to look at her and said, “Then don’t go to those places in the future. Even if you say you’re interested, those days have pa.s.sed. You’re going to join the company soon, so you have to make more plans.”

“We’ll see. There are some things that can’t be let go just like that. Someone has to do it. There are some beliefs that need to be persevered on,” she said indifferently.

She did not look at him, but held his other hand instead, “After some thought, I still have to tell you something that you need to pay attention to tomorrow. With a single-celled creature like you, I’m a little worried that you won’t be able to handle them. I’m guessing that you’ve read about the Dongfang family’s genealogy as well. There’s not much that the Dongfang family needs to know. You’ll know that I’m on my father’s side and the rest will just be divided into factions.”

“It’s rare to see you worried. Are you that afraid that I won’t be able to pa.s.s the test in front of your parents? We’re now married and registered. If worse comes to worst, just tell them that you’re pregnant with my child and they’ll definitely agree. There’s nothing to say about getting married with a child.”

Qi Lei gave Dongfang Liuyun a sideways glance, but Dongfang Liuyun gave him a ‘you’re indeed a single-celled organism’ look!

“Me pregnant with your child? They’ll let me give birth, and they’ll even sever all ties with you. This child will be directly surnamed Dongfang. If It’s a boy, they’ll be even happier! Do you know why there are so many people in the entire Dongfang Group who don’t agree with me and my father?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s tone became a little cold—

“That’s because I’m not a man, but Dongfang Xin and Dongfang Yu are. You might find this old-fashioned preference for sons somewhat inconceivable. After all, this is a modern civilization, but the Dongfang family has a hundreds of years of history, and some of their beliefs are deeply rooted.”

Speaking up to this point, Dongfang Liuyun could not help but feel a wave of powerlessness in her heart.

“Ever since I was young, in order to reduce the pressure on my father, I had to suppress Dongfang Xin and Dongfang Rou’er. Just like you and Qi Feng, I could see things from his perspective and understand why Qi Feng worked so hard. I can’t lose to the ridiculous reason of gender, and I don’t want to be a person who only lives for herself. At the very least, I still have a responsibility towards my parents. Of course, there was also grandfather’s last request before he pa.s.sed away.”

“Also, I’m afraid that the child’s matter won’t be so fast for us, right?”

He had forgotten that she would probably need to take medicine for a long period of time for her stomach ailment, and it seemed like they…

“It’s alright. If it can reduce your burden, I’m willing to cooperate. For example, the child will have your surname…”

At this moment, Qi Lei thought seriously for a moment before saying this.

However, when he said this, Dongfang Liuyun paused. Then, she looked up at him in surprise. The flowing light in her eyes froze as she looked at him in a daze. His smiling face was filled with warmth, his dark eyes were filled with sincerity. It was as if there was a trace of love towards her—

“I understand your feelings. I can understand that kind of grievance. In any case, I don’t mind. I don’t have much feelings towards the Qi family. That place has never been my home. These are just symbols. If I hadn’t met you and married you, I would probably still be wandering alone and have already made up my mind not to get married,” he said in a low voice. His tone sounded very calm, but Dongfang Liuyun could catch a hint of desolation and loneliness.

She stopped moving and quietly lowered her eyes as if she was thinking about something. She suddenly looked up at him from behind and shook her head gently, “No, I can’t let you down too much. After all, you’re my husband. The rest isn’t really very important… ”

Can’t let you down too much?

Qi Lei was stunned for a moment. Looking at her serious little face, an indescribable warmth suddenly surged in his chest. He could not help but reach out to wrap his arms around her shoulders and pull her up…

Her bright eyes flickered as she tacitly reached out to wrap her arms around his shoulders to welcome him—

The light flirt unceremoniously swept his slightly cold lips and gently bit him. In pain, he grabbed her waist and pounced on the sofa behind her, easily regaining dominance.

The lingering warmth was a little intoxicating. He had to admit that he seemed to have fallen in love with her aura and her scent, so he would not tell her that these past few days, he, who had been pure of heart and abstinence for a long time, was suffering, suffering!
