    Along the way, Lan Xiu did not say much. Ah Li sat in front of him and did not dare to ask any more questions.


    However, seeing President Lan’s expression, it seemed that things did not go too well?


    “President Lan, should we go home directly?”


    After thinking for a while, Ah Li finally asked.


    Lan Xiu looked up at the sky outside the car window and noticed that the sky was just right. He said, “Let’s go to the flower and tree farm in the west of the city and take a look. The flowers and nts in the courtyard have failed to bloom. Let’s change a new batch.”


    “Why don’t we change to the plum blossoms that you like, President Lan?” Ah Li asked.


    Lan Xiu thought for a moment. After a long while, he said, “Let’s go over and take a look first. Let’s nt a few plum blossoms or orchids. The kind that can bloom after the New Year.”


    “Alright,” Ah Li replied and gestured to the driver beside him. The driver quickly increased the speed of the car.


    ...


    It was almost evening. The family that had went out for the whole day was a little tired. However, Mu Zirui and Qi Wei’er were also having a good time. When they left, they could not bear to go back, but not long after they got into the car, the two children fell asleep. Dongfang Liuyun carefully covered them with nkets.


    The driver was naturally Qi Lei.


    Dongfang Liuyun was looking at the children’s sleeping faces in a daze.


    “Are you tired?” Qi Lei suddenly asked in a low voice in front of them. His tone was very gentle.


    “I’m alright, you were the one who brought them around to y mostly. You should be the one who’s tired.”


    As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she bent down and took the thermos sk in front of her. She poured some hot water and drank it.


    “It’s been a long time since I’ve yed so many games. When I was younger, I didn’t like toe to the amusement park to y.” Qi Lei thought about it and said.


    “Is it because Mother and Father didn’te with you?” Dongfang Liuyun asked.


    “There’s that reason. When I was younger, I wasn’t that active. Qi Feng and the others liked toe and y, but there weren’t as many rides as there are now. Their favorite ones were the merry-go-round and ferris wheel,” Qi Lei stated calmly. Listening to his tone, there was not much emotion.


    “You don’t seem to fit in. You look like a yboy,” Dongfang Liuyunmented helplessly.


    “When I was young, I yed with Lingtian and the rest. Some of my buddies even went overseas when they grew up. It’s rare for us to meet them.”


    “Yes, that’s how it is. My friends whom I was close to in the past are also overseas.”


    Dongfang Liuyun had a faint sense of helplessness when he mentioned this.


    “Alright, you look tired, you should rest too. I’ll wake you up when we get home. The butler has already arranged for someone to cook dinner for us. It’s all the good dishes that you and the children like.”


    Qi Lei nced at her through the car mirror in front. He did not miss the fatigue in her eyes, so he spoke as well.


    “I’ll just talk to you. I saw that you had a lot of fun with the children today. I couldn’t tell that you still had a child’s heart. Did I misjudge you all along?”


    Dongfang Liuyun chuckled and looked at him with her calm gaze. He looked very serious as he drove. She felt that he was bing more and more pleasing to her eyes


    She seemed to find him more and more pleasing to the eye. In fact, she often felt that he was very handsome and cool. In fact, he could be considered a pretty perfect Prince Charming.


    Thinking of this, Dongfang Liuyun could not help but feel a little lucky.


    “Do you now feel that I’mparable to the National Good Husband?” Qi Lei teased with a smile.


    “Why don’t you just say that we’re the Bo Le who met with a thousand mile horse? I’m Bo Le, and you’re the thousand mile horse? There are many thousand mile horses, but not many Bo Le’s. I have a sharp eye for heroes, and I like you,” Dongfang Liuyun said bluntly.


    Qi Lei smiled. “The narcissistic little universe is about to explode.”


    Dongfang Liuyun cast a sidelong nce at him.


    ...


    When they returned to the Grand Lake Vi area, the sky had already fallen silent. The cars had just stopped, and the children had woken up. The food at home was also ready, and the family had a rather sumptuous dinner, then, Dongfang Liuyun apanied the two children upstairs to watch television.


    Qi Lei entered the tea hall at the side. During the meal, Wang Chun had called and said that he would being overter. It was an urgent matter.


    Qi Lei had just brewed a pot of tea when Wang Chun came over. Yang Sheng was also there.


    “Second Master!”


    “Master Qi!”


    The two of them greeted at the same time.


    Qi Lei elegantly poured tea for the two of them as he pointed to the two seats opposite them. “Take a seat.”


    “Thank you!”


    Wang Chun and Yang Sheng exchanged a look before sitting down.


    Qi Lei moved the tea that he poured over to the two of them. The two of them also picked it up symbolically and took a sip.


    “Snow mountain tea. It’s a little bitter, but it seems alright to drink at this time.”


    When he saw the two of them frowning uncontrobly, Qi Lei exined in a deep voice as he drank the tea in his cup.


    “No wonder it’s so bitter. Master Qi, where did you get all this tea? Didn’t you drink flower tea a while ago?”


    Yang Sheng frowned. However, after the tea entered his throat, there was a mild freshness in his mouth. It was not the kind of freshness that had a sweet taste, but a refreshing freshness that made people feel like they were suddenly enlightened.


    “Mu Yuchen asked Li Si to send over some new tea. Consider yourself lucky. I’ll let you try it too. I think it’s pretty good too.”


    “Master Qi, you and Master Mu are both weirdos. I also found it hard to swallow the bitter tea that I drank at Master Mu’s cest time. I didn’t expect Master Mu to like such a bitter taste. Also, Master Qi, you used to like those things that had a bitter taste too. It’s not like you can taste the bitterness of life just by eating bitter things.”


    “Assistant Yang, you’re wrong. From what I know, many people who like drinking bitter tea don’t like bitter things. You have to know that bitter tastes can sometimes train one’s willpower. The meaning behind it is not something that ordinary people can understand. Actually, it’s just like how a man feels when he smokes.”


    Before Qi Lei could reply, Wang Chun had already answered Yang Sheng.


    Yang Sheng’s face turned slightly red at Wang Chun’s words. He said awkwardly, “Forgive my ignorance.”


    “Alright, let’s get down to business. What’s so urgent?”


    Qi Lei poured himself another cup and drank it calmly as he asked.


    As soon as he said this, Wang Chun nced at Yang Sheng. Yang Sheng nodded and tacitly stood up to close the tea hall’s door. His expression also became somewhat solemn.


    Seeing this, Qi Lei’s ck eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the two of them without batting an eyelid.


    “You tell it, Vice President Wang!” Yang Sheng said.


    Wang Chun nodded and slowly put down the teacup in his hand. He looked up with a serious expression.


    “Master, it might be bad news. It’s rted Missus,” Wang Chun said in a low voice.
