Chapter 1781: Missing (2)
“No need, I’ll sit with you.”
Dongfang Liuyun shook her head. She pulled over a stool beside her and sat down beside Qi Lei.
“Is it really okay that you didn’t go over today?”
Qi Lei asked with concern as he reached out to pour her a gla.s.s of water.
Dongfang Liuyun took it very obediently. She took two sips lightly and replied, “It’d be a lie to say that it’s completely fine. Whatever, I’ll go over tomorrow when I have time. Otherwise, we’ll just leave it.”
“Did I hold you up?”
Qi Lei smiled helplessly.
“Right now, nothing is more important than what’s happening here. Do you think that I’m quite bias towards my lovers?”
Dongfang Liuyun shrugged and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qi Lei could not help but laugh out loud. His depressed mood suddenly found an outlet to vent. It was immediately drowned by a warm current, and he felt a little more relaxed.
“Turns out I’m quite handsome, I believe in your taste, to be able to catch the eye of a person like you, that must mean I’m simply the cream of the crop.”
Dongfang Liuyun heard this and immediately shot Qi Lei a sideways glance. “Why didn’t I realize that you’re quite shameless?”
Qi Lei’s handsome brows were the same as he laughed quietly.
The atmosphere in the ward immediately eased up, and the gloom from before was gone.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was already late at night.
Hidden in the Cloud Residence on the outskirts of City Z.
Matsuda was reporting the situation to Fujiwara.
“Master, the gift has been delivered. Elder Madam Dongfang is very happy and said that she hopes that you can come over as a guest. She actually misses you, Master.”
Matsuda respectfully said to Fujiwara, who was lying on the sofa.
Fujiwara was currently holding a book in his hand and flipping through it, acting like a true heir.
When he heard Matsuda’s words, his gaze did not move. Instead, a cold voice was heard—
“Did you see her?”
He was only concerned about news of Dongfang Liuyun. He was not interested in the others and naturally did not want to know any news.
“Master, Miss Dongfang did not go over today. I waited for an entire night, but I did not see Miss Dongfang, including her parents. They did not appear either. Therefore, Elder Madam Dongfang wasn’t in a very good mood tonight.”
“Didn’t go over? How is that possible? Uncle Dongfang is far away in Myanmar, so naturally, there is no way for him to rush back. Is there any situation on Auntie Song’s side?” Fujiwara asked.
“Master guessed correctly. Lawyer Song was injured by her opponent due to a dispute in the case and is still in the hospital. I’ve already asked people to inquire about it, and the news is true. In fact, Lin Yuanyuan had told Elder Madam Dongfang about this tonight. Although Elder Madam Dongfang didn’t explode on the spot, it can be seen that she must be extremely dissatisfied with Lawyer Song.”
“Find out Auntie Song’s ward. I’ll go over to visit her tomorrow.” Fujiwara instructed.
“Yes!” Matsuda responded.
“There’s no news from Liuyun?” Fujiwara asked again quietly.
“I’ve already sent people out to investigate, but there’s still no news from her. However, Miss Dongfang has already returned to the Dongfang Group to work. If Master wants to see Miss Liuyun, perhaps you could go straight to the company to look for her. Miss Dongfang’s direct superior in the Dongfang Group is Lin Yuanyuan. She seems to have given Miss Dongfang a lot of trouble.”
“Immediately arrange for it. I want to know everything about her situation in City Z over the past two years. I want the most detailed information. You can dispatch the credit investigation team at any time. There’s no need to report to me. I want the results by next Wednesday.”
As Fujiwara spoke, he closed the book in his hand and raised his hand to gently rub the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows
Dongfang Liuyun, I do not care if what Lan Xiu said is true or not, I will not let go.
There was no one in this world who could make him so worried. He cared for few things, so naturally he could not let her leave so easily after she has come into his life!
Every time he thought of this, Fujiwara could not help but feel a dull pain in his chest. He gathered his thoughts that he did not dare to probe too deeply. He did not believe that there was no fate between them, and he also did not believe that he could not take back what he lost.
“Yes!” Matsuda replied.
Only then did Fujiwara put down the book in his hand and slowly stood up. “Go to the wine cabinet and bring me a bottle of wine.”
“Yes!”
Matsuda responded, then turned around and left the living room. A moment later, he returned with a bottle of wine. He poured the wine for Fujiwara very respectfully as he said, “Master, if Miss Inoue knew that we rushed over like this, would she complain to the Inoue family about the Fujiwara family?”
Fujiwara took two sips nonchalantly and said in a neutral tone, “That’s father’s own problem. He’s the one who provoked the Inoue family, not me.”
When Fujiwara mentioned his father, his gaze was naturally very cold. There was not much emotion in his tone, but there was a trace of resentment.
“Master, Elder Master only chose the most outstanding wife for you. Miss Riko’s character and appearance is all very outstanding.”
Matsuda could not help but advise. He carefully stared at Fujiwara. Seeing that he did not have much of a reaction, he heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “At the very least, Miss Riko’s feelings for Master are very obvious. Forgive me for being too talkative. Master, Miss Dongfang is actually not suitable for you. Master Lan Xiu said that Miss Dongfang would be very tired being with you, and Master, aren’t you the same…”
“I don’t need you to say anything about how things are between me and her! I can’t respond to everyone who is interested and has feelings for me. The feeling that Liuyun gives me is unique, you might not understand.”
Before Matsuda could finish speaking, Fujiwara’s cold voice sounded. His tone, which did not have much warmth, it caused Matsuda to feel a wave of panic, and a chill suddenly swept through his heart.
“I’m sorry, Master. It’s my mistake! Please forgive me!”
Matsuda bowed ninety degrees to apologize.
Only then did Fujiwara wave his hand. “Forget it, you can go out first. I want to be alone for a while.”
“But, Master, I…”
“Go out and close the door.”
Fujiwara did not even look at him. He silently lowered his eyes and poured himself a cup of wine. He started drinking one cup after another.
In the past few years, he seemed to have turned himself into a drunkard. However, unlike drunkards, Fujiwara did not get drunk even once in the past few years. No matter how much he drank, he could not get drunk. Instead, the more he drank, the clearer he became. It was just that when he was drunk, he would get a splitting headache the next day.
It was quite sad. That was how he was. He could not even dream or recall a single memory…
