Chapter 1778 - Emergency (4)

Lan Xiu did not say anything. He just looked silently at Fujiwara.

Seeing that he did not move, Fujiwara paused for a moment. A moment later, a cold smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and drank the wine.

“You weren’t like this in the past. If you have something to say, just say it. Before coming here, I was already prepared. You must have a lot to say to me.”

As Fujiwara spoke, he straightened his back slightly and took the wine bottle. He poured himself some wine before leaning back on the chair behind him. He raised his deep gaze and looked indifferently at Lan Xiu in front of him, “Didn’t you not want to answer my calls before because you knew that I would come here sooner or later?”

“You’ve always known my determination.”

As Fujiwara spoke, the gaze in his eyes became even deeper. He lowered his eyes indifferently and reached out to pick up the wine glass again. He drank it indifferently.

“I had a lot to say to you, but now, I...”

“Then it proves that I was right. I’m waiting for you to tell me.”

Before Lan Xiu could finish, Fujiwara cut him off and gave him a sideways glance. “I already knew that you would take advantage of the situation in the past few years. Your feelings for Liuyun are no less than Lan Qi’s.”

“Liuyun’s heart is a locked door. No matter how hard I try, I couldn’t open it. You know very well that all these years, even though she seems to be living peacefully, the suffering she’s going through in her heart may not be something you can understand.”

Lan Xiu took a deep breath and finished the wine in his glass.

Hearing this, Fujiwara’s movements froze for a moment. His frozen gaze became unfathomable as he calmly poured Lan Xiu some wine.

“Has she mentioned me before?”

Fujiwara asked in a low voice. There seemed to be a hint of bitterness in his tone.

“What do you think?”

Lan Xiu asked in return.

Fujiwara then laughed self-deprecatingly. “I can’t blame her.”

“I’ve already said that she, Dongfang Liuyun, can only belong to me. This time, I’ve come to fulfill this wish. I can’t let her leave me for too long. Ah Xiu, I need your help.”

At this moment, Fujiwara did not conceal his intentions at all. Instead, he looked at Lan Xiu very sincerely. “I know that you also love her deeply, but you know very well what happened between us.”

“Perhaps, you won’t have a chance either.”

At this moment, Lan Xiu could not help but say in a somewhat agitated manner. A stifling aura surged in his chest, unable to be removed or released.

“What do you mean?”

Fujiwara frowned and asked.

Lan Xiu raised his head and downed the wine in his cup. His gloomy voice was tinged with bitterness. “Because Liuyun is married... We don’t have a chance anymore.”

As soon as Lan Xiu said this, Fujiwara was stunned. A cold light flashed across his deep eyes. He stared at Lan Xiu and said coldly, “Impossible.”

“There’s no need for me to lie to you now. I’ve looked for her before and told her that you’re going to be back in City Z. She... In fact, she was already married a few months ago.”

“Who’s that person? I don’t believe that she would do that.”

Fujiwara gripped his cup tightly. He did not know how much effort he had to put in to control his surging emotions.

“The Second Master of the Qi family is actually on par with your Fujiwara family in terms of family background. Moreover, I’ve met him a few times. He’s pretty nice. Liuyun cares about him a lot, and she’s very protective...”

‘Bang!’

A sharp sound of shattering rang out, directly cutting off Lan Xiu’s words.

When he looked up, the wine glass in Fujiwara’s hand had already shattered into pieces on the ground beside him. Fujiwara’s expression was somewhat gloomy, and his black eyes were filled with disbelief.

“You’d better not make up a lie to deceive me.”

There was a hint of coldness in his voice, and his sharp eyes were fixed on Lan Xiu.

“I don’t have the energy to deal with you. You can ask your people to ask around, and they’ll have an answer soon. Now, do you know why I wasn’t willing to answer your call?”

Lan Xiu took a deep breath and calmed down. “Perhaps, everything should have ended a long time ago. We all have new lives now, there’s nothing wrong with starting from scratch.”

“What do you mean by starting from scratch? If I go back to how it all was then Liuyun should be with me.”

Fujiwara’s cold tone traveled over, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile. “You don’t know how I’ve persevered through all these years. Now, you’re telling me to end it? Tell me how!”

“This is also Liuyun’s intention. I have nothing more to say. Just do as you see fit. Don’t underestimate Liuyun. I think that it’s only a matter of time before she falls for Qi Lei. Qi Lei is a legendary figure. You can go and look up his information, the results might surprise you. Besides, he can afford to lose, but you, Fujiwara, might not afford to.”

As he spoke, Lan Xiu slowly stood up and looked down at Fujiwara’s unpredictable expression.

“I hope you won’t be rash. The current Liuyun has changed a lot compared to how she was before. I think that if you really love her, you’ll want her to be happy too.”

“I can’t help you, and I won’t help you either. Between the three of us, it might be more suitable for us to be good friends. With your status and background, Liuyun would also be worn down from being with you, she might not be able to live happily. I think this is one of the reasons why Liuyun didn’t choose you back then. She’s like this, when she becomes rational, it always makes people feel dejected. At least, I feel that.”

Lan Xiu sighed and said these words somewhat helplessly. His tall and straight body also crossed over and he turned around to walk towards the door.

“I’m going back now. You’d better organize your thoughts. There’s really no more possibility between you and her. You need to recognize the truth.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Xiu’s figure disappeared from outside the door. Behind him, even the sound of footsteps had disappeared.

The villa instantly fell silent. The stillness in the air made one feel a little terrified.

Fujiwara was still sitting quietly in his original position, not moving at all.

A moment later, a series of banging sounds suddenly came from inside. When Matsuda rushed in to take a look, he realized that all the food on the table had been smashed to the ground. The floor was covered with broken porcelain pieces, and the wine was overflowing all over the floor.

Fujiwara was still sitting where he was. He stretched out his slender fingers and stroked his forehead. The pain in his head made him feel like he could not hold on any longer.

“Master, are you alright?”

Matsuda’s expression changed drastically. He quickly went forward.

“I’m fine. Clean up.

Fujiwara calmed down a little. He finally recovered. After giving some instructions, he suddenly stood up and walked upstairs.
