Chapter 1852: Bearing (1)
The night was getting darker. The car slowly stopped in front of Emperor Entertainment through the cold wind and rain.
The car had just stopped when the window on the passenger seat rolled down. When Dongfang Liuyun looked outside and saw Su Chen standing beside Qi Lei, her eyes were filled with surprise. However, she quickly got out of the car.
“Hello, Chief Su.”
“Liuyun, you’re too polite. Just call me Su Chen.”
Su Chen also smiled and greeted her.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded humbly. “You’re not drunk, right? Get in the car. We’ll send you back first.”
“Thank you. I’ve already asked my secretary to come over. He should be here soon. You two can go back first, we had quite a good time tonight.”
Su Chen smiled.
Dongfang Liuyun subconsciously turned to look at Qi Lei beside him. Qi Lei smiled back at her. “Alright then, we’ll go back first.”
“Bye!”
Then, the couple got into the car.
“Are you close with Su Chen?”
On the way back, Dongfang Liuyun, who had been quietly driving, suddenly asked.
“Fortunately, he’s close friends with Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo. I’ve been spending a lot of time with them these past few years, so I’m very close with them. Everyone gets along like brothers,” Qi Lei said simply.
Dongfang Liuyun smiled happily. “I know a little about you and Mu Yuchen, Xi Xiaye, and the others. They’re both very good people and are good to be close to. As for you, you’re very lucky to have met them.”
“It’s not easy for them either, Xiaye… She’s a very kind person. After my mother left, she and Mu Yuchen have always been very concerned about me, including Wei’er right now. Sometimes, I really feel like I owe them a lot.”
“It’s rare for you to say something like that, but there aren’t many people like them in the industry anymore. Just cherish your relationship with them.”
Dongfang Liuyun sighed softly.
Qi Lei smiled as he listened. He did not tell her about what happened just now.
…
He did not drink too much, nor did he become decadent. Lan Xiu even admired Fujiwara’s rationality.
The entire night was spent in Cloud Residence.
Fujiwara played chess with Lan Xiu for the entire night. Other than winning a game at the beginning, he lost the rest of the game.
The two of them only fell asleep on the sofa when the sky was bright in the morning. It was already afternoon, and the rain outside had subsided a little. However, the sky was still gloomy, and it looked like it was about to rain.
When Lan Xiu woke up, Fujiwara had also woken up. The air was still filled with the faint fragrance of tea.
“You’re awake! Wash up and have a cup of tea.”
Just as Lan Xiu sat up, Fujiwara’s voice came from the side. Lan Xiu hurriedly looked up and found Fujiwara sitting on the sofa. He was drinking tea while reading the information sent over from the subsidiary company.
As soon as he finished speaking, his assistant Matsuda had already handed him a cup of tea. The maid beside him also very considerately handed him a warm towel.
“Thank you.”
Lan Xiu stood up, wiped his hands with the towel, and then walked to the bathroom.
“Master, don’t you want to rest? You didn’t rest last night, and you look terrible.”
Matsuda said with concern.
Fujiwara did not even lift his eyelids, nor did he respond. He just flipped a page of the document in his hand and continued to read—
Matsuda did not dare to say anything when he saw this. He could only wait silently by the side. Fujiwara waved his hand before he left.
Not long after, Lan Xiu came back clean. He picked up his tea and took two sips. Then, he raised his head to look at the meticulous Fujiwara opposite him. After thinking for a long time, he spoke, “Don’t you have anything to say about what happened last night? What did Qi Lei say to you? You don’t look too good, but…”
“What do you think he can say to me?”
Fujiwara asked in return. He lifted his head from the document and looked at Lan Xiu indifferently. After a pause, he continued, “I remember that you seem to have a pretty good judgement of him. There aren’t many people that you admire, and it’s such a person. I’m a little surprised.”
“Why? Do you think that he’s not enough to be your opponent?”
Lan Xiu frowned in surprise as he looked at him.
Fujiwara lowered his eyes, sipped his tea, and replied indifferently, “I’m a little surprised by him. He seems like someone Liuyun would protect. He’s also very outstanding, and his aura is very strong. At least for now, I still quite admire him. If it wasn’t for Liuyun, perhaps we could have become friends after we met.”
“But, I can’t let go.”
Fujiwara took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said this in a deep voice, “You know what she means to me. I’ve worked so hard for so many years just so that one day, we could return to each other’s arms. However, that day seems a little difficult to reach now.”
“You can’t forget Liuyun, but you can’t start over. Ah Ye, it’s too late. Isn’t it good to watch her be happy?”
“You want me to give up? I’ve persevered until now, and I’m about to realize my wish. You want me to give up? I’m unwilling to just give up like this. I’m gambling with my position in her heart. As long as I’m still in her heart, I can redeem myself. It’s better to work harder than not fight for it.”
Fujiwara had a disapproving look on his face.
“No one has ever denied your relationship. It’s just that Liuyun might not be better off with you than with him. Liuyun said that we underestimated her.”
“I know that she still blames me for Lan Qi. I don’t have anything to explain. Even if I have to do it all over again, I’m afraid I’ll still make the same choice.”
“I’ll stay here for a long time. We have plenty of time in the future.”
Fujiwara finished his tea in one gulp. “Qi Lei is a very powerful opponent. I admire him too, but I won’t let him go so easily. You know what it means to me once I let him go.”
“But, I heard that your father has always wanted Riko Inoue of the Inoue family to be the Fujiwara family’s daughter-in-law. Back then, your family was under a lot of pressure from Liuyun. Are you sure you can make them compromise this time? Also, I heard that Miss Riko likes you very much and that she’s quite talented and pretty. Are you sure you don’t want to give it a try? Perhaps you can forget about Liuyun?”
“So what? They don’t have any conditions to object now. As for that woman, who knows what kind of person she is!”
Speaking of this, Fujiwara’s expression instantly turned cold. His eyes flickered with a faint cold light. He took a deep breath and his tone became calm. “Who else do you think I want besides Liuyun?”
Lan Xiu could not answer…
