Chapter 1994  : May You Shine Like the Stars (1)

Fujiwara did not hesitate to send her away. He did not even bother to say another word. Dongfang Rou’er was sent away by Matsuda.

“Miss Dongfang, please!” Matsuda said to Dongfang Rou’er.

Dongfang Rou’er’s eyes turned hot.

She knew that coming here like this was asking for humiliation, but she still wanted to come and take a look. This kind of thing was probably the stupidest thing she, Dongfang Rou’er, had ever done.

When they said that the person who falls in love with first would always be more likely to get hurt, they were probably talking about her, while Fujiwara clearly did not care about her at all.

After taking a deep breath, Dongfang Rou’er slowly stood up. She was just about to turn around and leave when, unexpectedly, just as she turned around, she saw a bright and beautiful figure appear before her eyes.

With outstanding looks and dressed in a noble and luxurious outfit, she looked very elegant.

She had always heard that Fujiwara had an ideal fiancée, a woman whom the Fujiwara family was very satisfied with. It seemed like this was the one they had mentioned before.

What was her name? Riko Inoue?

Dongfang Rou’er could roughly guess the identity of this woman in an instant. However, looking at her, Dongfang Rou’er felt an unexplainable pressure.

“Miss Inoue!”

Before Dongfang Rou’er could react, Matsuda, who was behind her, had already greeted her.

Riko Inoue nodded, but her gaze landed on Dongfang Rou’er.

“This is?”

Riko Inoue’s indifferent voice was heard as he swept a glance at Dongfang Rou’er.

“This is Miss Dong Fang Rou’er, the Fifth Miss of the Dongfang family. She’s here to invite Master to her wedding with the Eldest Master of the Jin family, happening in a few days,” Matsuda hurriedly explained.

“Wedding?” Riko Inoue muttered softly, looking at Dongfang Rou’er as if she was scrutinizing her.

“Yes, Miss Dongfang has personally come to invite Master,” replied Matsuda.

“Is that so?”

“Hello, Miss Inoue.”

Dongfang Rou’er finally calmed down and greeted her in the same manner.

“Mm. Hello, Miss Dongfang.” Riko Inoue responded indifferently, “Since Miss Dong Fang has personally come to invite him, I believe that Fujiwara-kun will definitely be interested in your wedding, since Miss Dongfang was so thoughtful.”

Riko Inoue’s words seemed to carry a hint of coldness.

How could a woman as sharp as Riko Inoue not notice the strange look in Dongfang Rou’er’s eyes?

“Miss Inoue...” Matsuda called out in a low voice.

“Send Miss Dongfang back.” Riko Inoue finished her sentence and walked into the living room.

“Yes!” Matsuda replied before looking at Dongfang Rou’er and saying, “This way, Miss Dongfang!”

Dongfang Rou’er followed him out in a daze.

“Mr. Matsuda, that Miss Inoue just now...”

Dongfang Rou’er could not help but ask in a low voice.

“Miss Inoue is the future Missus of our Fujiwara family,” Matsuda replied in this manner. His eyes swept over Dongfang Rou’er with a deep gaze.

As expected, Dongfang Rou’er’s expression immediately stiffened a little. Matsuda did not miss the disappointment in her eyes.

“Oh... is that so?” Dongfang Rou’er muttered, “She’s not bad. I didn’t expect Mr. Fujiwara to also... I thought that he had always been fond of Fourth Sister. Too many things have happened, now that I look at it again, everything has changed. I had thought that Mr. Fujiwara would become my brother-in-law, but unexpectedly, my brother-in-law has now become the President Qi of Tai Yu Corporation.”

“Those are all things of the past. Who wouldn’t have history? Miss Dongfang, you shouldn’t use such words in the future. After all, Miss Liuyun is already married. Moreover, our Master is now completely focused on his work.”

“I don’t have any other intentions. It’s just that...”

“There’s no ‘just’. Miss Dongfang, I’ll send you off until here, please!”

Matsuda also stopped in front of the door.

Dongfang Rou’er was stunned for a moment. She turned around and looked at the mansion in front of her. Her eyes were very dim. In the end, she nodded and turned around to leave as well.

...

Inside the Cloud Residence, Fujiwara stood outside the balcony of the study on the second floor. There was a half-lit cigarette between his fingers. He looked coldly at Dongfang Rou’er’s departing appearance. His expression was as still as water.

“Master!”

A moment later, Matsuda’s voice came from behind him.

Fujiwara took a puff of his cigarette. “Keep an eye on her.”

“Yes, Master! When she left the house just now, she bumped into Miss Inoue. She seemed to be a little hostile towards her.”

“Hostile?” Fujiwara muttered in a low voice before sneering. “Let them do their own thing. How’s it going with Lan Xiu?”

“The contract has been successfully signed. I’ve sent someone to investigate. It was Qi Lei who pulled some strings over there. He’s actually quite powerful, especially now that Qi Qiming has woken up. The Qi family’s strength wasn’t clear before, so...”

Matsuda lowered his voice as he spoke.

“I didn’t ask you to keep an eye on them. The Qi family has never interfered with us. Just keep an eye on the Inoue family.”

Fujiwara sounded a little tired. He had held on until now, and his heart was empty. Although he was unwilling, he did not want to hurt her. He did not want to know anything about Qi Lei.

Matsuda noticed Fujiwara’s mood fluctuating, so he could only say in a low voice, “Yes, I understand, Master.”

“I’m going out for a walk. You don’t have to follow me.”

Fujiwara took a deep breath and put out his cigarette in the flower pot beside him. He then turned around and walked into his room.

...

Today was a day of rest. Although the sun had risen high, there was still a hint of coldness in the air.

Fujiwara kept his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and walked past the long walkway of the amusement park.

There were not many people in the amusement park. The sounds of people playing around made Fujiwara’s gloomy mood relax for a moment.

He liked to walk around these places filled with innocence and laughter when he was depressed. In the past, when Dongfang Liuyun was still with him, she was also influenced by him. But now, she probably would not insist on this habit anymore.

After walking for a long distance, he found a bench and sat down. Across him were the wilted willows and the large lotus pond that had withered.

He had never dared to look for Dongfang Liuyun, even though his longing was rampant.

He heard that love was restraint.

He did not know if this was true or not. He did not want to cause trouble for her, so he could only persevere. However, he did not know how long he could keep on like this.

Other than Dongfang Liuyun, he did not know who else he could love and talk about. Who else would he like?

Lan Xiu said that he could actually feel at ease to have missed it. If he did not force himself to accept someone, everything would be natural. He did not want to make things too difficult for himself. It was better to live a peaceful life.

With her or without her, he will have to let it go...
