Dongfang Liuyun sent Lan Xiu to the car. After seeing him get into the car, she silently turned around and returned.
This should be how they are. If they were to interact peacefully, it should not be awkward, right?
Lan Xiu silently watched Dongfang Liuyun slowly walk up the stairs and sighed in his heart.
‘There’s an insurmountable abyss between me and Fujiwara.’
And between him and her? Was it not the same?
Sometimes, even though they felt very close to each other, they felt that it was so far away. This was probably the case for him. Even if you told yourself in your heart to let go, you might not be able to rationally control your emotions. Otherwise, there would not be so many tragedies in the world.
Lan Xiu took a long breath. Seeing her figure disappear behind the door, he started the car…
..
When she saw Fujiwara again, Dongfang Rou’er was also surprised.
It was right beside the square in front of the Dongfang Group.
It was already evening when they got off work. The setting sun was lovely, the afterglow covered the entire city in a layer of soft golden light. It was so holy and beautiful that it seemed quite ethereal.
Fujiwara was standing by the side, and behind him was that black luxury car. It was just him alone.
Dongfang Rou’er had come to pick up the car after work, and when she saw the man standing by the car, she could not help but be stunned…
The familiar face was still the same as before. There were not much changes, but the aura that was condensed on him had become more and more cold and distant.
Dongfang Rou’er looked at him quietly for a long time. She did not know what kind of strength she used to control her legs that were about to rush over. She did not doubt that she would rush forward in the next moment.
“Master Fujiwara, you… Why are you here?”
Her gentle voice trembled uncontrollably. As the night wind entered her ears, Fujiwara, who had been deep in thought with his head lowered, suddenly raised his gaze. His sharp and cold gaze made Dongfang Rou’er tremble subconsciously.
Dongfang Rou’er was currently standing not far away from Fujiwara. Her beautiful face had a gentle smile on it, and it did not seem like her usual capable self at all. There was even a glimmer of light in her eyes. If one were to observe, you could even catch a trace of eagerness from her gaze?
However, Fujiwara did not seem to be able to understand what she meant. His unfathomable black eyes glanced at her indifferently. His reaction was very cold, and he did not respond.
“If you want to wait for Fourth Sister, then I can tell you that Fourth Sister already left work earlier this afternoon.”
Seeing that Fujiwara did not respond, Dong Fang Rou’er could not help but feel a deep pain in her heart. She thought about it and responded as such.
Hearing this, Fujiwara took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at it. Then, he turned around and was about to open the car door to get into the car when Dongfang Rou’er went up to him..
“Wait, Fujiwara!”
The voice that stopped him was naturally a little anxious.
“Is there anything else?”
Fujiwara’s cold voice sounded.
“You… how have you been all these years?”
Dongfang Rou’er asked softly.
“That has nothing to do with you.”
Fujiwara replied coldly and opened the car door.
“No, wait, Fujiwara! I’m sorry… about that thing, I really didn’t do it on purpose… I just…”
Dongfang Rou’er explained in a daze.
“I’m not the one you should be apologizing to. We’re not familiar with each other to begin with.”
Fujiwara did not appreciate her kindness and replied in this manner.
Dongfang Rou’er’s face instantly turned pale, but there was still a smile on her face. Seeing Fujiwara get into the car, she did not stop him. Instead, she silently watched the silhouette of his car gradually fade away until the silhouette of the car disappeared into the sea of cars in front of them, only then did she somewhat absentmindedly retract her gaze.
She could not help but feel a deep pain in her heart. She felt her chest tighten and her breath became short. It felt as if she could not breathe.
In this world, it was a great pain to not be able to get what you want. She had been enduring this kind of torment all this time. Perhaps no one felt it more deeply than her.
She thought that if she suppressed these matters in the bottom of her heart, no one would know and she would be able to forget them. However, some feelings were like gra.s.s roots hidden in the soil. As long as the spring breeze blew, they would be revived so quickly.
She took a few deep breaths and used all her strength to suppress the pain in her heart. Her whole body recovered because the phone in her handbag had been vibrating for a long time. She took it out and saw that it was indeed from Jin Sheng.
Dongfang Rou’er struggled for a long time before she finally picked up the phone.
“h.e.l.lo? Rou’er, I’m already here. Where are you?”
They had agreed to have dinner together. Jin Sheng had specially left work early today to make reservations. After that, he had to attend a friend’s birthday dinner. Dongfang Rou’er still frequented such occasions.
“Okay, I just walked out, I’ll rush over immediately.”
Dongfang Rou’er took a deep breath and calmed down before replying.
“What’s wrong? You don’t sound right? Are you not feeling well?”
When Jin Sheng heard Dongfang Rou’er’s tone, he quickly noticed that there was something wrong with Dongfang Rou’er, so he asked with concern.
Dongfang Rou’er sighed softly and turned to walk towards her car. “I’m fine. I’m probably too tired. I’ve been a little worn out these past few days. I’ll rush over now. Wait for me over there.”
“Alright, I’ve already informed the gown shop. You can go and change into your gown first. I’ll accompany you to pick out some accessories later. Coincidentally, I need to take wedding photos as well. I’ll be taking wedding photos next week. You should rest well for the next few days. As for the Lin family…”
Jin Sheng was quite generous and considerate towards Dongfang Rou’er. Of course, Dongfang Rou’er felt that she should feel satisfied as well…
With someone as gentle and considerate as Jin Sheng, and becoming the first young mistress of the Jin family upon marriage, she should be satisfied with her status.
However, why was it that every time she thought about marrying Jin Sheng, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart?
There was some joy, but after the joy, there was also a faint sense of disappointment. At this moment, she suddenly thought that if the person who was going to marry her happened to be the person she was thinking about, how good would that be?
Unfortunately…
Could it be that this was—
Everything was fated?
A hint of sadness appeared in Dongfang Rou’er’s eyes. She smiled bitterly, and her tone returned to normal. “Yes, I know. Let’s talk when we get there. I’ll go over first to change into my gown. I’ll have to trouble you to wait a little longer.”
“It’s fine. Drive safe.” Jin Sheng said with concern.
Dongfang Rou’er acknowledged him before hanging up the phone.
