Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lan Xiu’s eyes darkened. He was silent for a long time before he took a deep breath. He lowered his head and drank all the hangover soup in his bowl.

Ah Li naturally did not dare to say anything. He just quietly poured him a glass of water.

“In that case, don’t say such things again in the future. You might not understand the feelings between us,” said Lan Xiu.

“I’m sorry, President Lan. I misspoke.”

Ah Li said in a low voice.

Lan Xiu waved his hand. “It’s fine. Just remember it.”

As soon as he said that, the phone beside him vibrated. Lan Xiu quickly looked away. When he saw the caller ID on the phone screen, he frowned.

He thought for a while and finally picked up the call.

That was right, it was Fujiwara from Japan.

When the call was picked up, Fujiwara’s deep voice was heard along with the monotonous tune of the shamisen.

“I thought you wouldn’t pick up this call either.”

His cold and indifferent tone sounded a little cold—

It was Fujiwara’s usual tone.

“I don’t want to pick up your call. If it’s still because of Liuyun, do as you see fit. I have nothing to say.”

Lan Xiu took a deep breath and slowly leaned back in his chair as he replied indifferently.

“It doesn’t really matter whether you tell me or not. If I had the heart to know all about her, I would naturally know very quickly. Blocking out information is only for certain people, it doesn’t work on me.”

Fujiwara replied coldly.

“Let go. You and Liuyun are just not fated. She won’t be the same as before. She’ll never be able to return to your side. Isn’t it good for us to just be friends like this...”

“What do you mean let go? Do you think I’m as weak as you? It’s up to me whether she’s fated or not! I’ll get her return to my side. She can only be mine. Do you think she’ll choose you?”

Fujiwara sneered. His deep voice was filled with determination.

Hearing this, Lan Xiu only smiled faintly, “It’s not me, and it’s not you either. I’m just advising you. I don’t want you to sink deeper and deeper. You know Liuyun’s character very well. It’s useless for you to force her. It’s good enough to be friends, isn’t it?”

“I’m not as noble as you. How is it love if I don’t have it? This time, I’ll get her to return to my side. You’ve been by her side for so many years, but you couldn’t get together with her. I know what you were considering, but I won’t thank you. I admit that I’m somewhat responsible for Lan Qi’s death, but what he did to me wasn’t necessarily very honorable, right?”

“You can’t blame my brother for what happened between you and Liuyun back then.”

“Hmph, you actually don’t agree with it in your heart, right? Liuyun is too emotional, she kept thinking that she’s responsible for Lan Qi’s death. If it makes her feel better, I’d rather she think that it was me who went too far.”

Fujiwara’s tone softened a little at this moment. He was only like this when he talked about Dongfang Liuyun, Lan Xiu had always known that.

“Things shouldn’t be like this between her and me. If it weren’t for Lan Qi, we would be together by now. He clearly knew my feelings for Liuyun, but he came between us at every opening. Ah Xiu, you should be glad that he was my friend and your older brother. Otherwise, I wouldn’t guarantee that I wouldn’t have done anything to him.”

Fujiwara’s tone towards the end was a little cold. Hearing this, Lan Xiu felt a chill in his heart.

“Everyone pursues their own right to happiness. My brother’s feelings for Liuyun are no less than yours, Fujiwara. Why should he have given in because of you? He died for Liuyun, could you do that?”

“No, because if I died, who will she be with for the rest of her life? I want her to spend the rest of her life with me!”

Fujiwara’s answer was crisp and clear.

“My private plane will arrive in City Z tomorrow. The weather has changed, so I’ll set off early. I’ll arrive in City Z at noon. I’ll go straight back to Cloud Residence and wait for you there.”

Finally, Fujiwara only said a few words before hanging up.

Seeing the phone screen slowly darken, Lan Xiu took a deep breath and tossed the phone on the table in front of him. He could not help but feel a pang of pain in his head.

“President Lan, are you okay?”

A Li asked with concern.

Lan Xiu waved his hand and lowered his head to drink a few mouthfuls of water. Only then did his expression ease up a little.

“Was that Master Fujiwara’s phone call?”

A Li had been waiting by the side just now, so he could heard Lan Xiu’s conversation.

“He will arrive in City Z at noon tomorrow. Go and make preparations, I will go over at noon. Also, take a look at Mr. Ge’s materials. No matter what, we have to meet him.”

Lan Xiu sighed softly, put down the cup in his hand, and stood up tiredly.

“You should go back early and rest too.”

After saying this, Lan Xiu also walked into the bedroom.

...

At this time, in a mansion in the depths of a maple forest on the outskirts of Japan.

It was already very late at night, and the clock on the wall pointed to one o’clock in the morning.

Fujiwara quietly sat behind the simple desk with his back facing the closed door. He threw the phone in his hand on the desk behind him, his unfathomable gaze fell on the withered branches in the vase beside him.

His expression was very calm. It was the kind of calm that made people inexplicably feel a sense of melancholy. His lowered eyes hid the melancholy that was inadvertently revealed in his eyes.

Dongfang Liuyun, do you care about me?

Or rather, do you still care about me?

Before, we were still young and had suffered too much from each other. I will use my passion and life to tell you that I, Fujiwara, have no choice but to live for you.

I will get you to return to my side!

Fujiwara suddenly reached out and tightly gripped a withered branch by his side as he silently swore in his heart.

“This time, I won’t let go, Liuyun...”

Fujiwara’s expression darkened as he muttered this.

Actually, he knew very well that Dongfang Liuyun would not forgive him so easily. Hence, he had to be mentally prepared. Of course, this was nothing compared to the pain and suffering she had suffered in the past, it was nothing at all.

There were too many beautiful memories between them. He would not believe that she, Dongfang Liuyun, could easily forget the past.

And now, very soon, they would meet again.

At this moment, his heart was filled with anticipation. He could not wait to know what she, Dongfang Liuyun, had become. Or perhaps, nothing had changed?

Sometimes, Dongfang Liuyun to him was like chasing after a fleeting meteor, going on an unknown journey. What would be waiting for him?
