“Can’t say?”
Seeing that Qi Lei did not answer for a long time, Dongfang Liuyun frowned and looked at him quietly.
Qi Lei raised his handsome eyebrows and looked back at her. “It’s not that I can’t say, I just don’t know how to say it. Of course, I’ve had girlfriends before. When I was abroad, I had one. Later on, we broke up peacefully because we had different ideals.”
“Blonde beauties? Did you dump her or did she dump you? Also, I believe there was more than one, right?” Dongfang Liuyun asked curiously.
“How many do you think there are? All those years were just for show. Plus, I was against marriage. If they get too close to me, I’d feel pressured,” Qi Lei replied. As he spoke, he could not help but sigh. “It’s not like you don’t know how I was in the past. I was quite a jerk.”
“Then why are you willing to marry me now? Are you still an anti-marriage activist?” Dongfang Liuyun asked in surprise.
“Times have changed. Dongfang Liuyun is the only one in the world who has the ability to do so.”
Qi Lei’s tone was rather deep, and his dark eyes were also silent. “Did you think of marrying Fujiwara in the past?”
Marrying Fujiwara?
Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment and did not reply.
“Alright, let’s pack up and do it tomorrow.”
Seeing that she did not reply, Qi Lei did not continue. He helped her save the doc.u.ments and turned off the computer.
Dongfang Liuyun brought some water and took a few sips.
“Mmm, I feel a little tired too.”
As he said that, he slowly got up.
…
The next morning arrived as scheduled. The weather was exceptionally good, and they could see the warm morning light in the early morning.
“Master, let’s have breakfast first.”
Before dawn, Fujiwara had already gotten up. He was rus.h.i.+ng to finish the work that he hadn’t finished yesterday. He had been suffering for several hours until dawn, and he had slept very late last night.
Matsuda also stood in front of his desk and reminded him in a low voice.
Fujiwara slowly raised his head when he heard the voice. He hesitated for a moment before putting down the doc.u.ment in his hand.
“Let’s go.”
Fujiwara simply said these two words as he walked out.
“Master, Miss Inoue personally made breakfast. It’s all food you like, but she was worried that you wouldn’t be used to it, so the housekeeper asked the kitchen to make the breakfast that you’re used to.”
Matsuda knew that Fujiwara did not like Riko Inoue, so he did not dare to ask Riko Inoue to make breakfast. Otherwise, when Fujiwara got angry, they would be the ones to suffer.
Sure enough, Fujiwara’s expression turned cold at first, then it returned to its usual coldness. “Didn’t I tell her to scram back to j.a.pan? Why hasn’t this matter been settled yet?”
Fujiwara naturally loathed Riko Inoue, a woman who thought herself smart!
“Master, Miss Inoue is Master’s honored guest, we also…”
Fujiwara had personally asked Riko Inoue to come over, and he had even sent two bodyguards to follow her. This was enough to explain the problem, so Matsuda naturally did not dare to disobey Fujiwara like this.
“The Cloud Residence is my private residence. If she doesn’t want to return to j.a.pan, you can arrange for her to stay in another hotel,” Fujiwara said with a cold face.
Matsuda could not help but feel helpless when he heard this, and he secretly complained in his heart!
It seemed that all these years, the Master had only been interested in Dongfang Liuyun. In front of Dongfang Liuyun, he wanted nothing more than to stay close to her. However, if it were any other woman, they would want nothing more than to make all of them disappear. Only then would there be peace and quiet!
“Master, this… this… There’s no way to explain this to that side. This is an emergency period. In any case, Master rarely sees Miss Inoue. Let’s not make our relations.h.i.+p so tense. If we want to reveal our cards, we have to do it in the future,” Matsuda said worriedly.
Matsuda’s words caused Fujiwara’s expression to darken. He did not say anything else and continued walking forward.
When he went downstairs, he indeed saw Riko Inoue, who was sitting at the table waiting for him to have his breakfast, as well as a servant waiting by the side.
“Good morning, Fujiwara-kun!” Riko Inoue greeted him with a smile. She was speaking their native language, j.a.panese.
Fujiwara shot her a lukewarm glance, then pulled out a chair and sat down. He waved his hand, and everyone quickly retreated, leaving only him and Riko Inoue in the dining room.
The breakfast on the table was a typical j.a.panese breakfast. Fujiwara knew immediately that it was probably Riko Inoue’s masterpiece, so he pushed it aside and reached for the bowl and chopsticks at the side. He scooped up half a bowl of porridge and some side dishes.
Seeing this, Riko Inoue’s expression darkened, and she furrowed her brows. “What do you mean by this?”
Fujiwara did not even lift his eyelids as he replied coldly, “Why do you have to be like this? It turns out that you don’t take what I said to heart.”
“You have your persistence, and I have mine. Fujiwara-kun, I believe that with will, one can achieve anything. What I do has nothing to do with you. Even if you treat me like this, you can treat it as if I brought this upon myself. So, there’s no need for you to feel pressured.”
Riko Inoue had been thinking a lot recently. She could not be like those foolish women who would try their best to stick to someone in such a situation. That would only make that person feel even more disgusted.
She changed her strategy and she did not believe that she would not be able to take down Fujiwara just based on Riko’s seriousness and persistence!
If Fujiwara really loved Dongfang Liuyun, that was fine too. After all, Dongfang Liuyun and Qi Lei were currently in love and did not pose any threat to Riko Inoue. That was why she was not foolish enough to make things difficult for Dongfang Liuyun!
She still hoped that Dongfang Liuyun and Qi Lei would be happy together forever. Then, Fujiwara would never have a chance. Since he did not have a chance, then she would have a great chance to make him fall in love with her. Even if she couldn’t make Fujiwara fall in love with her, as long as she could become his wife, why would she not be happy?
Moreover, could people like them ever hope for true love?
Was it not just that those who were in love could not be together, and those who were not in love would get married just like that?
Riko Inoue thought about it a lot. Rather than being arranged to marry someone else, she might as well marry Fujiwara. At the very least, there was still something about this man that she admired and even looked up to.
When Riko Inoue said this, Fujiwara was stunned for a moment. His movements also paused for a moment. After a while, he finally calmed down and raised his gaze to look at Riko Inoue.
“I will never like you. It’s a waste for you to spend so much effort on me. I will never fall in love with anyone in my life, nor will I marry anyone else. Do you think I’ll be happy with someone I don’t have feelings for?”
Fujiwara’s black eyes were as cold as ice and snow. His cold face was also filled with a disdainful sneer. In Riko Inoue’s eyes, it was naturally particularly eye-catching.
