“I can’t...,” Fujiwara replied.

Dongfang Liuyun’s face was filled with bitterness. “Then, you don’t have to persuade me. I know what I’m doing.”

“No matter how difficult the situation is, it can’t be an excuse to stop moving forward. Qi Lei once told me that, so don’t worry. I won’t give up on myself,” Dongfang Liuyun said calmly.

“Sometimes, humans are like that, when someone’s still around, you don’t cherish every moment you have together. When they’re gone, or like now, when there’s no news of them, you’d feel like you weren’t sensible before, and you didn’t get it. With no news of him, my heart feels empty, as if something is missing.”

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. Without him around, my life has been pretty boring. I was guarding that empty room by myself every night, but suddenly I felt afraid. I don’t even know how I’d been doing on my own all this while before this.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she drank another glass. Her eyes were a little blurry, but Fujiwara’s eyes dimmed.

“Liuyun, you don’t have to be too sad. No matter what, you have me, you just need to turn around... come back to Japan with me. I don’t care about all of this. If you want the Dongfang Group, I’ll do my best to fight for it for you...”

Fujiwara looked at Dongfang Liuyun and felt extremely pained. Even her frowning would make his heart ache, not to mention the way she was in a daze right now...

When he heard her mention Qi Lei, he did not even dare to probe further because he was afraid that if he thought any further, the conclusion he would come up with would break his heart.

Dongfang Liuyun still liked him and loved Fujiwara deeply. Her emotions had nothing to do with Qi Lei...

In his heart, he still lied to himself like that, but...

“I don’t want to go anywhere, I’m staying right here. If he returns, I will be his Missus Qi. If he doesn’t return, I’ll still be his Missus Qi. However, I believe that the fate between us won’t be so shallow. I want to be with him for the rest of my life.”

Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes were a little blurry as she spoke. She raised her wine glass and looked at Fujiwara in a daze, “I’ve left all my remaining feelings with him. I haven’t had the time to clean them up yet... This is the greatest sorrow in the world. I have to wait for him to return.”

“Liuyun, you...”

Fujiwara felt a pain in his heart. He could not help but reach out and grab her arm. “What about me? What about me? You’re waiting on him, but what about me who’s been waiting on you?”

“What you want to do has nothing to do with me. That’s your freedom... But I don’t want you to interfere with me. We could have been good friends. I know that Mr. Ge has a good relationship with your father. So many things have happened, too many coincidences, and too many problems that I have to suspect...”

When Dongfang Liuyun said this, her eyes suddenly turned cold. Her gaze was unusually sharp.

“You suspect that Qi Lei and your father’s matter is because of me?”

Fujiwara’s face darkened, and he immediately asked in a cold voice. His black eyes were filled with a trace of disbelief.

“Even if it’s not you, it’s related to you. My people have found traces of Mr. Ge’s appearance in Myanmar. Furthermore, Mr. Ge seems to have been in close contact with your father, Fujiwara Kenji recently. Don’t you, Master Fujiwara, know about this?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s voice was unusually cold.

“Of course I don’t know!” Fujiwara said coldly. “Are you suspecting me?”

“I didn’t say it was you. If you insist on taking it personally, there’s nothing I can do.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she picked up her wine and downed a glass in one gulp. She put the glass back and propped herself up on the table—

“I’ll get to the bottom of this matter. It’s best for you to stay out of it. We won’t become enemies. If you want me to die faster, you can give it a try.”

“Dongfang Liuyun! You... how could you say that!”

Fujiwara gritted his teeth and shouted, “You’re certain that I’m soft-hearted towards you and that I can’t let you go, so you’re capable of hurting me with all your might because of another man, aren’t you?!”

His deep voice sounded like he was suffocating. Dongfang Liuyun probably did not know the kind of pain that Fujiwara felt from such an accusation!

She was actually betting her life on him?

She was threatening him!

“It used to be Lan Qi, but now it’s Qi Lei! Just how much do you hate me? Tell me!”

Fujiwara looked at Dongfang Liuyun with bloodshot eyes as if he was going crazy. He pressed his hands on her shoulders and looked down at her.

“You’re suffering, aren’t you? Since you’re suffering, why don’t you just let go? You know that everything that happened between us was just fate that shouldn’t have happened. A misplaced fate. Do you understand? If it weren’t for us, Lan Qi wouldn’t have died and Mr. Ge wouldn’t have caused so much trouble, things would’ve gone smoothly for Lan Xiu, Qi Lei and my father wouldn’t have met with misfortunes.”

Dongfang Liuyun hit his hands away, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

“So, you’re certain that this matter is related to me. Why do I always have to bear these groundless accusations? What makes you think that this matter is related to Mr. Ge and me!”

“When too many coincidences are intertwined together, it’s not a coincidence! It’s a deliberate arrangement!”

Fujiwara was stunned. He actually could not answer.

...

‘Bang!’

Dongfang Liuyun finally could not take it anymore. She threw the wine glass in her hand and suddenly turned around.

“I’ve never seen a woman more ruthless than you, Dongfang Liuyun!”

Fujiwara’s forbearing voice sounded. At this moment, perhaps only he himself could understand the pain in his heart...

She had a way to hurt him over and over because of others. All she could see was only the plight of others, she had never seen the pain that he had to endure.

Yet, he just could not control his deep feelings for her..

“I’ve always been such a selfish person. I’ve never been willing to care about the lives of others,” Dongfang Liuyun said indifferently, turning his head to look at him, “I’m not doubting you, but it’s not just us. Just like how I’m still a member of the Dongfang family, and you’re also the Master of the Fujiwara family. With these things on your back, there’s no way for you to be your true self.”

After saying this, Fujiwara’s expression stiffened as he said in a deep voice, “You’ve always underestimated our relationship.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yes, but relationships are only a part of life. I can’t just live for my relationships.”
