Something was not right…

He could feel that something had changed.

Lan Xiu was undoubtedly sensitive. He did not remember when he had become so sensitive when it came to her. Perhaps it had happened a long time ago.

His fingers combed through his ink-black hair. Lan Xiu took a deep breath and turned his head to look out the car window. He lowered the window silently. The streetlights that shone in became brighter, but suddenly, it seemed that they could not illuminate a corner of his heart.

He suddenly understood that he was now worried, afraid, and afraid of something. He did not dare explore it.

It was very quiet in the dark night. Lan Xiu did not know how long he had been looking out the window. Ah Li, who was in front of him, looked and did not dare to make a sound. He did not dare to answer until the call came in. However, after listening to the conversation on the other end, his expression became a little solemn.

“So?”

Seeing Ah Li hang up the phone, Lan Xiu, who was behind him, asked directly.

“President Lan…,” Ah Li answered softly. He hesitated for a moment before he braced himself and said, “I’ve already found out. It’s the President of Tai Yu Corporation, Qi Lei’s car…”

Qi Lei?

Lan Xiu immediately recalled the night he left City Z. When he went to the hospital, he saw Qi lei. At that time, could it be that the person beside her was Qi Lei?

How was that possible?

When did Liuyun get to know Qi Lei?

A look of confusion flashed across Lan Xiu’s eyes. The image of Dongfang Liuyun getting into the car without hesitation appeared in his mind. His heart instantly sank, and a feeling of suffocation surged into his heart, it instantly made his face tensed and pale.

“President Lan? President Lan? Are you okay?”

Ah Li called out to him several times, but he could not react. Ah Li had no choice but to raise his voice, and only then did Lan Xiu come back to his senses…

“President Lan, should we follow them?” Ah Li asked for instructions.

Lan Xiu withdrew his disappointed gaze. He took a deep breath and replied, “No need, let’s go back.”

He was well aware of Dongfang Liuyun’s character. If he chased after her now, she would be unhappy. As for him, he was someone who did not even want to see her frown, so how could he bear to see her…

He could only return home first and talk to her another day.

“But President Lan, Miss Dongfang and President Qi…”

“Perhaps they are discussing business matters. Go back and check Qi Lei’s information for me. Also, check his recent contact with Liuyun. The more detailed the better.”

Lan Xiu could only give this reason. In fact, even he himself did not believe it.

“Yes, President Lan…”

“Let’s go back.”

Lan Xiu slowly leaned back in his chair and said in a hoarse voice.

Ah Li nodded and gestured to the driver beside him before the driver started the car.

The car sped along. Lan Xiu thought that he could hold it in, but in the end, he could not. He took out his phone and sent a message to Dongfang Liuyun. It was just a few simple words—

Where are you?

…

When she felt the phone in her pocket vibrate, Dongfang Liuyun was leisurely looking out of the car window.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a message from Lan Xiu. She quickly opened it and looked at those few words, then quickly replied—

Out, going for dinner.

When Lan Xiu received the message, his heart seemed to feel a little better. He thought about it and wanted to ask who she was with, but after typing one word, he was not satisfied. He pondered for a long time and suddenly did not know what to say next or what he should say.

After thinking about it, he could only put his phone away…

“Whose message is it?” Qi Lei saw her frown and asked.

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun turned to look at him. She sighed and replied, “Lan Xiu.”

“Lan Xiu? Your father seems to have always wanted him as son-in-law, right?”

Qi Lei had already averted his gaze and was focused on the road as he said.

“Lan Xiu is close to my father. My father practically watched him grow up and knows everything about him. Plus, he has a gentle personality and is very tolerant. He treats me very well. My father has always thought that he’s a good candidate and has treated him like half a son since he was young. I’ve been friends with him for more than twenty years and have always treated him like a close friend. He’s quite a good person. We’ll find a time for you to meet him some day.”

Dongfang Liuyun also had some indescribable feelings in her heart. It was impossible for her not to understand Lan Xiu’s intentions, it was just that…

Right now, she could only feel some lament at most. It was as if she was also somewhat glad that Lan Xiu did not agree to it back then. Otherwise, it might have been a different situation now. No matter what, she was satisfied with the current situation for now, deep down, she was also a little positive and optimistic.

“My instincts tell me that he will find me very unpleasant. It’s obvious that he actually likes you very much.” Qi Lei thought for a moment and calmly said these few words.

Suddenly, an uncontrollable surge of emotions rose in his heart, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

As he said this, Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze froze. She lowered her eyes and thought for a long time. Then, she took a shallow breath and turned to look out the car window. Her low voice could be heard, “We’re just good friends. We’ve been friends for many years. I pity and care for him too. He’s similar to you and is also alone. His family has been friends with the Dongfang family for a long time. All these years, his life hasn’t been any easier than yours. Others may not understand his persistence and hard work, but at least I know.”

“Don’t reject him. He’s actually a very good person. He’s very kind, so kind that… when he sees a stray dog get hurt, he’ll feel sorry for it. The two of you might become good friends.”

This was the first time Dongfang Liuyun spoke to him in such a downcast tone with hints of how she cherished him. Qi Lei listened, and for some reason, he suddenly felt unhappy. Of course, it was not that he was jealous, but that feeling when she talked about these things, it made him feel very stifled, so stifled that he wanted to struggle and escape…

“He rejected you back then,” Qi Lei said softly and did not look at her.

“Yes, it’s fortunate that he rejected me. Actually, we’re not suitable for each other. Otherwise, no one would have waited for so many years.”

Lan Xiu was meticulous, but he was a little indecisive when it came to relationships. Perhaps it was because he had too few relationships that he was more afraid of losing them.

Thinking about it, it made sense. He was clearly such a lonely person. After Lan Qi passed away, was he not the only one left?

She knew very well how he came to be. He also knew how she came to be.

“Do you feel regretful or… a little unwilling…,” Qi Lei asked.
