Chapter 1775 - Emergency (1)

Fujiwara was silent for a long time. He did not move at all. Towards the end, he could only close his eyes and sit there silently.

He did not know how long he had been sitting there. Suddenly, he keenly heard a series of footsteps coming from outside. He did not open his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, there were sounds coming from outside the door, as well as noises—

“Miss Riko, you can’t go in! You can’t go in without Master’s permission! Please go back!”

It was Matsuda who stopped him.

“Move out of the way!”

A cold female voice came from outside with a commanding tone.

“I’m sorry, Miss Riko. I’m just following Master’s orders. Please go back!”

“I said I want to see Fujiwara. Get out of the way!”

Riko Inoue’s voice became colder and colder.

“Let her in.”

At this moment, Fujiwara’s cold and indifferent voice came from inside.

Soon, the door was pulled open, and a beautiful figure flashed in.

It was a very beautiful woman. She wore a noble light-colored kimono, her hair was tied up in a bun, her eyebrows were like dark creases, and her beautiful eyes were as bright as gems. She had a small cherry mouth, and her skin was as white as jade. Her facial features were almost perfect, and she had a tall figure. She had a noble and dignified temperament—

This undoubtedly showed the beauty of the woman.

Riko Inoue, the heiress of a large family like the Fujiwara’s, was the most favored candidate for daughter-in-law of the Fujiwara family.

“Why don’t you want to see me?”

Riko Inoue stopped in front of the desk and looked down at Fujiwara, who was sitting with his back facing her. She did not hide the dissatisfaction in her voice.

“Why would I want to see you?”

Fujiwara responded indifferently without even lifting his eyelids.

“Fujiwara-kun, I respect you very much. Apart from my status as your fiancée, I, Riko Inoue, have come from afar as a guest. You can’t treat me like this.”

Riko Inoue frowned and stared at Fujiwara.

“Fiancée? Whose fiancée? I’ve never agreed to this marriage. If anyone has promised you, you should go find them. Why are you here?”

Fujiwara’s tone was filled with nonchalant disdain.

“I’ve told you before that you’re not the type I like. I advise you not to waste your time. You’re the one who insisted on moving up. Miss Riko, I’m not a patient person, and I don’t think you’re a person without brains and dignity.”

Fujiwara slowly opened his eyes as he said this. He slowly turned around and looked at Riko Inoue indifferently.

“You haven’t even gotten to know me. How do you know that I’m not the type that you like?”

Riko Inoue had always been very confident in her looks, abilities, and status. Over the years, countless men had fallen for her. However, she was also a woman who had strict demands of her partner.

The Inoue family was very strict and was well-known in the upper-class circles. Riko Inoue was a goddess-like woman that almost made people worship her. With her beauty and temperament combined to match Fujiwara, everyone felt that she was the most suitable.

However, who would have thought that Fujiwara would mercilessly reject her on her first day as a guest at the Fujiwara family? This made her extremely surprised. Of course, there were also some unspeakable feelings of disappointment or anger?

“Fujiwara-kun, if this is your way of attracting me, I accept it. You win,” said Riko Inoue.

“I’ve never liked women who are too tall. Moreover, I’m not satisfied with your appearance. Are you satisfied with such an answer? If we have to compare, I feel that Miss Lingzi is more in line with my standards of beauty.”

Fujiwara’s expression was indifferent as he said this. His slender fingers also let go of the withered branch. His ten fingers crossed on the table. His black eyes were filled with a cold repulsion.

“Lingzi?”

Riko Inoue naturally recognized this Miss Riko. She had never liked her pretentious innocence. All these years, there had been countless men who had worshipped her. Could Fujiwara be one of her guests?

Thinking of this, Riko Inoue’s expression darkened for a moment. He probed Fujiwara, not afraid of his cold, disdainful gaze.

However, according to what she knew, Fujiwara had never been in contact with any woman. She had heard that he had fallen in love with a woman before, but they broke up in the end. After that, he remained pure of heart and had no desires, he had never been involved in any romantic affairs.

This was one of the reasons why Riko Inoue admired Fujiwara.

Of course, Fujiwara was also the most handsome man she had ever come into contact with, not to mention his status. Such a man was the dream of all women.

“I’m afraid you don’t know her background, do you? I don’t believe that a man like you would fall for such a shallow woman. What do you think?”

Riko Inoue was quite confident in her judgment. Her beautiful eyes shone faintly as she caught Fujiwara’s gaze without blinking.

Fujihara’s lips curled into a cold smile. He casually lowered his head and adjusted his cufflinks. “I’m a shallow layman to begin with. Have I disappointed you, Miss Riko?”

“What if I say I don’t believe you?”

“It has nothing to do with me. I’ve clearly said that I won’t marry you. If you’re worried that my rejection will affect your reputation, you can say that you don’t like me, Fujiwara, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.”

“What if I say no?”

“I don’t like others disagreeing with me. You should have heard the rumors about me,” said Fujiwara.

When Riko Inoue heard this, she immediately smiled. “So you’ve already planned on getting rid of me?”

Fujiwara did not answer. His expression was as cold as ice.

“To tell you the truth, I know that you’re about to fly to City Z, and Uncle Fujiwara has already informed me. He wants me to go with you. Coincidentally, I’ve never been there either. You can be my guide. It would be quite nice to take me there.”

“You can ask him to take you on your honeymoon. Matsuda, send Miss Riko out!”

At this moment, Fujiwara had already given the order to leave impatiently.

Of course, Fujiwara’s words also caused Riko Inoue’s expression to freeze for a moment, and she could not quite respond.

When Matsuda heard Fujiwara’s voice outside, he immediately pulled open the door and walked in—

“Miss Riko, Please!”

Matsuda bowed respectfully and gestured for her to leave.

Riko Inoue gave Matsuda a cold glance before turning her gaze to look at Fujiwara. Fujiwara did not even look at her as he quietly stood up and walked towards the inner room, leaving her with a cold back view.

Riko Inoue’s delicate brows furrowed even deeper as her gaze darkened. However, she managed to control her emotions and turned around to leave the study.
