Chapter 1531. Not A Simple Banquet (2)
After a while, Qi Lei finally retracted his gaze in silence.
“After knowing you for so long, this is the first time I feel that you’re actually different from the usual you that I know, and this surprises me,” Qi Lei said.
“Everything’s fine as long as you don’t feel trampled by the changes you see in me. It takes a long time for a person to truly know another person. Neither am I a saint nor am I the fabulous and perfect Dongfang Liuyun that I was known to be. Just like you, the only person who will truly know you is always yourself. The persona that you exhibit might not be the real you too, so many people are living beneath a mask these days and I’m just one of them, another ordinary human being.”
There was a hint of coldness in Dongfang Liuyun’s tone, and it was not difficult to sense the self-deprecation in her words. “However, no matter what, one must always be held accountable for their own life. That’s why I’ve already gotten used to it now.”
“I heard that you plan to return to the Dongfang Group.” Qi Lei was naturally able to obtain some information regarding this.
Dongfang Liuyun closed her eyes, then opened them after some time. “I’m the only daughter of my father, so it’s only natural that I pick up the responsibility.”

Standing at the doorsteps, Dongfang Liuyun uttered politely, “Thank you.”
