Dongfang Rou’er’s recent situation was not very good either. Not to mention that she was very worried about the Lin Yuanyuan, just the wedding alone made her somewhat frustrated.
The time for her and Jin Sheng’s wedding had already been set. Just a few days before the end of the year and New Year’s Eve, the wedding photos had already been taken. Now, there was not much time left before the wedding, and they had more than a month to prepare for the wedding.
The Jin family naturally attached great importance to this wedding. On the side of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Shuman had also specially arranged for people to help Lin Yuanyuan prepare. She also told Lin Yuanyuan that she could take advantage of this period of time to properly prepare for Dongfang Rou’er’s wedding.
For the next two days and weekends, she did not have to go to work. Dongfang Rou’er also stayed at home.
Lin Yuanyuan was originally a little unhappy because of the suspension. However, because Dongfang Rou’er’s wedding date was approaching, she put away her emotions and started to prepare for Dongfang Rou’er.
Lin Yuanyuan could be considered a person with good planning skills. Since Dongfang Rou’er’s wedding was handed over to her, Dongfang Ren and the others naturally felt at ease.
At this moment, Lin Yuanyuan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, preparing to draw up the guest list. When she saw Dongfang Rou’er leaning against the sofa and looking out the window, she frowned—
“If you are very free, come and help me take a look at these guest lists. There are too many things, and I am a little confused now. The Jin family will be giving the betrothal gifts in two days. Why do you look like you are so absent-minded? Did something happen at work? What did Dongfang Liuyun do to you?” Lin Yuanyuan asked.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Rou’er pulled her gaze back from the outside. Looking at Lin Yuanyuan, who still had a hint of joy on her face, she replied absent-mindedly, “You can decide on these matters. I don’t know much about the guests of our Dongfang family. Why don’t we just ask the butler to come over and help us decide?”
“Rou’er, you haven’t been in a good state recently. What’s wrong with you? I feel that something isn’t right!”
Lin Yuanyuan stared fixedly at Dongfang Rou’er, his eyes filled with doubt.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t I agree to the wedding? What else do you want?”
“Did you and Ah Sheng have a fight?”
Lin Yuanyuan suddenly felt uneasy. She felt that her daughter’s att.i.tude had been a little strange lately, especially with regards to the wedding. She seemed to be a little conflicted. Moreover, Jin Sheng seemed to have rarely come home recently. Initially, she thought that because he was busy with the wedding, he did not have the time. But now, it seemed like something had gone wrong between them?
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. We’re still good and are still the same. Didn’t we have dinner together last night?”
At the mention of Jin Sheng, Dongfang Rou’er suddenly felt a little irritated. When she thought of the word ‘wedding,’ for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable. If the person she married was the one Dongfang Rou’er cared about, how good would that be?
“I can hear that your tone is not quite right! Tell me honestly, did the two of you have a fight? It’s almost time for the wedding. What kind of att.i.tude is this? If the Jin family finds out about this, what will they think?”
Lin Yuanyuan’s face instantly darkened as she stared intently at Dongfang Rou’er.
“What did I say to you? If I say it’s fine, then it’s fine! Just pretend that I have a pre-wedding phobia.”
Dongfang Rou’er looked at the pa.s.sionate expression on Lin Yuanyuan’s face and could not help but feel depressed. She suddenly did not understand…
Why did she have to sacrifice her own feelings to help her father and brother? Why did she have to accept such a marriage proposal?
She did not love Jin Sheng at all, and Jin Sheng might not love her either. Other than using each other, they only felt some pity for each other.
Why was it that after Dongfang Liuyun left Fujiwara, she was still able to meet such an outstanding man like Qi Lei?
As for her?
After marrying Jin Sheng, apart from having to bear the pressure brought about by the Dongfang family, she also had to partic.i.p.ate in the Jin family’s battle with Jin Sheng. Moreover, the outcome was hard to say.
How did she, Dongfang Liuyun, get so lucky? No matter how hard she tried, she could not make up for her weakness?
G.o.d is really unfair!
Very unfair!
“I’m going out to get some fresh air!”
After saying that, she did not care about Lin Yuanyuan’s expression and left the living room in large strides.
“Rou’er!”
Lin Yuanyuan shouted at her.
However, Dongfang Rou’er did not slow down at all. In the blink of an eye, her figure had already disappeared outside the door.
…
It was a cloudy day that approached evening. The weather was just like this in winter. There was not much sunlight and the cold wind was biting cold. Dongfang Rou’er drove around alone and went straight to Emperor.
The bar had already opened for business. Dongfang Rou’er found a quiet corner and sat down. She ordered a few bottles of wine and started drinking alone.
Her alcohol tolerance was not very good. After half a bottle, she was in a daze. However, she felt that her mind was abnormally clear!
Otherwise, the face that she was trying so hard to forget would not become clearer and clearer like this!
Dongfang Rou’er drank one cup after another. When she reached the back, she saw that there were more and more people in the bar. Only then did she leave. However, at that time, she was already unable to stand steadily. When she walked, she was also a little wobbly. When she walked through the corridor, she realized that the sky outside had already darkened and the lights were on.
She leaned against the wall as she walked through the corridor. Unexpectedly, she really b.u.mped into him when she turned the corner!
She knew that during this period of time, she had gone to check on his tracks and knew that he would often come to this bar to have fun. Most of the time, he would only come over to drink like this. She was not sure if she should look for him, but she was very clear about her own position!
She was about to marry Jin Sheng, to marry someone she did not love.
Moreover, no one might know about the feelings she had hidden in her heart.
“Fujiwara!”
This was the first time that Dongfang Rou’er had called out his name so clearly in front of him.
The smell of alcohol a.s.saulted his nostrils. Fujiwara, who was walking towards him, also frowned. He naturally recognized the drunk woman in front of him.
“Why is it you?”
Fujiwara glanced coldly at Dongfang Rou’er, only to see that Dongfang Rou’er’s eyes were already blurred.
“I have something to say to you! I have something to say to you!”
Seeing the person in front of her, Dongfang Rou’er’s eyes suddenly lit up with joy. She hurriedly reached out to pull on Fujiwara’s sleeve and said anxiously.
“What do I have to say to you?”
Fujiwara’s gaze was very cold. He silently retracted his gaze and was about to continue walking forward when he was unexpectedly grabbed tightly by Dongfang Rou’er—
