As Fujiwara said this, Lan Xiu’s eyes darkened. He gripped the teacup in his hand tightly—
“I’m worried about Liuyun’s feelings for Qi Lei… You should know her attitude very well. You should also understand those conversations…”
Lan Xiu tried to say something, but before he could finish, Fujiwara interrupted him, “I know what you’re trying to say. Your feelings for her aren’t any less than mine, but there are some things that once you let go, you’ll lose forever. I can’t just watch this happen.”
Hearing this, Lan Xiu’s face suddenly froze. He could not help but smile bitterly. “I know that I’m very different from you. You’ve always known that if you want something, you have to fight for it and work hard, but I…”
“Sometimes, I really wish that I could be like you, to have the courage to fight for it…”
Fujiwara also silently looked at Lan Xiu. He noticed the disappointment on his face, and his gaze softened—
“You have deep feelings for Liuyun and don’t ask for anything in return. I admire you. However, I don’t wish for you to continue like this. One me is enough.”
“I know. No matter how hard I try, I’ll always…”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Let’s drink tea. Today, we won’t talk about anything else… We’ll only drink tea and play chess.”
Fujiwara did not want to talk about these unpleasant things. He had escaped today because he wanted to temporarily relieve his tensed emotions.
Hearing this, Lan Xiu nodded. “Alright. What do you want to play?”
“Five pieces. That’s all I know.” Fujiwara said as he set up the game.
…
“Master Qi?”
Qi Lei had just changed into a new set of clothes and was about to go on the date when Yang Sheng suddenly called.
“What’s the matter?”
Qi Lei reached out to Dongfang Liuyun and gave her a meaningful glance before handing her the car keys.
“Fujiwara’s assistant, Mr. Matsuda, sent a gift. He said that he wanted to thank you for yesterday. Also, he said that he’s very grateful to Master Qi.”
Yang Sheng’s cautious voice came through.
Qi Lei’s gaze darkened when he heard that. He fell silent for a moment before turning his gaze to Dongfang Liuyun. He asked her to stand up and take the car keys. His gaze softened. “Okay, accept it.”
He hung up after that.
“What’s wrong?”
Dongfang Liuyun saw that his expression was a little strange, so she asked.
Qi Lei turned to look at her. After a moment, he replied, “Fujiwara got someone to give me a thank-you gift for last night. What do you think I should do?”
Dongfang Liuyun paused when he heard that. “Since he’s gifting it, just accept it. If It’s an antique, I’d love for him to give a few more.”
“Do you feel so at ease accepting his gift?”
Qi Lei was naturally unhappy when he heard this. He frowned sensitively.
“Isn’t he giving it to you now? You’d be a fool to not accept a gift. Do you think that if you don’t accept his gift, he’ll treat you differently? You know how he treats you now. If he dares to give you a gift, just accept it generously. Can’t you see that he’s challenging you?”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him disapprovingly and did not avoid it. “You wouldn’t think of giving him a gift back, would you?”
Qi Lei was stunned by Dongfang Liuyun’s words. He looked at Dongfang Liuyun’s indifferent face and chuckled a moment later, “It seems like you’re worried that I’ll be at a disadvantage if I fight Fujiwara. However, I like how you don’t want to be at a disadvantage. You’re very similar to me.”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him. “I’m just stating the facts. I don’t want any complications. I just want to live a peaceful life now.”
“Fujiwara has never given up on you. Do you think he’ll just watch us live like this?”
Qi Lei asked as he held her hand that was reaching out to take the car keys.
Dongfang Liuyun froze for a moment. In the next moment, her idle hand reached out and gently patted the back of his hand. “I didn’t know that after so long, your faith in us is still so weak. What can make you feel more at ease?”
“I still hope to see that you have some feelings for me. Can you give me that?” Qi Lei asked meaningfully.
Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment before smiling. “We have a long way ahead of us. Don’t you have confidence in yourself?”
As she said that, she reached out and took the coat from the side and handed it to him. “Put it on. It’s very cold outside. Your physique is worse than mine.”
Qi Lei frowned and glared at her. He reached out to take it and put it on his shoulders. “You’re not any better than me.”
“Why don’t you bring me along? Do I not have the right to let you bring me out now?” Dongfang Liuyun took her handbag and asked.
Qi Lei gave her a sideways glance. “What are you thinking about? You didn’t go with me when I asked you to the last time, I just didn’t want to be turned down. You can come along if you want, they want to meet you anyway.”
“Meet me? Do you guys like to criticize women when you’re together?” Dongfang Liuyun teased.
“I can’t be bothered to talk about other women. They’re talking about their own women and their wives. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”
As Qi Lei said this, he helped her grab her phone and followed.
“Then how many points do you guys give me?” Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and asked curiously.
“You’re only 59 points at most. You’re just a little short of passing.”
Qi Lei did not hide it at all.
Hearing that, Dongfang Liuyun was a little unconvinced—
“That’s impossible. Why am I not a good wife? Did I not do any of the laundry, cooking, and cleaning?”
She already felt that she was quite considerate. In the past, she definitely did not know how to care for others.
However, ever since she married Qi Lei, she vaguely felt that she had changed a lot. At the very least, she would care about Qi Lei’s feelings. For example, when she cooked, the taste would lean towards what Qi Lei liked to eat. Of course, Qi Lei would do the same.
Was this not a tacit understanding?
Dongfang Liuyun did not understand…
“Do you really think that I’m not qualified?”
Seeing that Qi Lei was silent, Dongfang Liuyun asked again. There was actually a hint of unease in her eyes—
“What did I do wrong?”
Qi Lei did not answer. He just looked at her quietly.
“Are you a puppet? Say something!”
Dongfang Liuyun was a little flustered.
“Do you really only give me a score of 59 in your heart? Sigh, I’m talking to you! If you won’t say anything then you can drive yourself there!”
She glared at him, seeing that his expression was still indifferent, Dongfang Liuyun tossed the keys over!
