Chapter 1665: Promise? (6)

Dongfang Liuyun pondered for a long time before she finally shook her head—

“I can’t agree to it. If this marriage is really unfortunate, I won’t try it a second time. I don’t expect much from these two words in the first place. If I tried my best and end up with such a result, then at least I’ve justified it to myself, at least I’ve tried my best.”

Dongfang Liuyun was a very straightforward person. At this point, she was already very clear about the impossibility between her and Lan Xiu. If that was the case, then she would not have any expectations. At least, she thought that it would be good for Lan Xiu.

“Alright, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine. You take care of yourself. Nothing will change in time to come. Qi Lei has gone to City B recently, when he comes back, you can meet him. He’s a good person. I think you might become friends with him.”

“We’re love rivals. How can we be friends?” Lan Xiu laughed bitterly.

Dongfang Liuyun shook her head with amusement. “I know you, Lan Xiu. You’re not such a shallow person. At the very least, you know how to differentiate right from wrong. So, I think you can both get to know each other.”

“What about Fujiwara? Do you think Fujiwara can become friends with him?”

Lan Xiu had no choice but to remind Dongfang Liuyun again.

At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze turned cold, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. “He’s got nothing to do with us, there’s no need to get to know him.”

Her tone suddenly turned cold, and the atmosphere in the office instantly froze. Even Lan Xiu could faintly feel a suffocating feeling..

When he turned to look at her, she had already lowered her head and continued eating dinner..

Lan Xiu was stunned. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled again and asked, “Have you told Qi Lei about Fujiwara? Will you hide it…”

Dongfang Liuyun listened and paused again. After a while, she suddenly closed the box of food in her hand and placed it on the table in front of her. She turned to look at Lan Xiu, “Lan Xiu, I’ve never thought of hiding anything from Qi Lei. I don’t care about his past, just like how he can accept me calmly. No matter what his original intentions are, it takes a lot of courage to dare to take on a marriage with an uncertain future. As my friend, I hope that you can stay neutral on the matter regarding Fujiwara. No matter what happens in the future, I hope that you won’t overstep or interfere in the matters between us and Fujiwara. Can you do that?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was very direct with a hint of displeasure, causing Lan Xiu’s heart to clench for no reason.

Without waiting for Lan Xiu’s reply, Dongfang Liuyun had already stood up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window at the side. She looked at the brilliant lights outside with her back facing Lan Xiu. Watching her back, there was an indescribable sense of loneliness.

“Lan Xiu, you should know that I don’t have much fighting spirit. I don’t want many things either. I can’t get rid of all my burdens, so I can only carry it. I don’t want to be a good person who saves all living things. I just want to make sure I don’t have a guilty conscience. This is what I’ve always believed in. If Qi Lei really cared about all of this, I wouldn’t deliberately hide it. Even though it’s not a glorious past, I’m afraid that the people trapped are only ourselves.”

“Liuyun, I didn’t mean that. I’m just worried…” Lan Xiu could hear the coldness in Dongfang Liuyun’s tone and quickly explained.

“I bet that he’s not that kind of person. I bet that he’s not such a shallow person. Also, I don’t think I’ll lose. Do you believe me?”

Before Lan Xiu could finish his words, Dongfang Liuyun’s determined tone had already reached his ears, instantly silencing the words that were about to come out of his mouth. For a moment, Lan Xiu was actually unable to reply. He could only stare at Dongfang Liuyun in a daze, his gaze contained a faint trace of melancholy and an indescribable bitterness.

The aura that had gathered in the air suddenly became somewhat stifled. In the end, it was Lan Xiu who eased up a little. He said, “I’m sorry, it was a slip of the tongue. I didn’t mean to say anything bad about him. It’s just that I’m a little worried about you. That’s all…”

“I know that all of you are questioning my decision. You don’t agree with Qi Lei from the bottom of your hearts. There are many reasons. You think that you don’t understand him, and you think that you’re right… but I’ve said before that those things aren’t important to me. As long as he treats me well and cares for me, I don’t care too much. Who can guarantee that I won’t fall in love with him in the future?”

Dongfang Liuyun did not agree.

“Liuyun…”

“I don’t want to talk about the rest. In the future, I don’t want you to express these things. You just have to remember that Qi Lei is now my legitimate husband. He will be your friend. That is all.”

Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was unusually sonorous, carrying an aura that could not be rejected.

Lan Xiu felt an indescribable pain in his chest again. Finally, he did not know what else he could say. He suddenly put down the cup in his hand—

‘Bang’

With a crisp sound, Lan Xiu stood up and stared at Dongfang Liuyun’s thin back. A resolute look flashed across his handsome face—

“Liuyun, you have your persistence, and so do I. I just can’t let go of your matter. If Qi Lei really treats you well, I won’t say anything. But if he can’t make sure you lead a good life then I don’t mind being that bad person! Whether you’re willing or not, this matters to me too!”

After leaving these few words, Lan Xiu slammed the door and left!

From what she remembers, Lan Xiu rarely spoke to her like this. He was not even willing to throw a tantrum.

But now, the more he saw how she protected Qi Lei, the more uncomfortable he felt. The pressure in his chest made him want to explode, he did not know how much strength he had used to suppress it.

He was afraid that he would lose control of the anger in his heart and lash out at her, so he could only leave.

Pain, sadness, and even a sense of regret washed over his head, making him feel like he was suffocating, unable to breathe.

The feeling of not being able to obtain love was indeed heart-wrenching.

Every time he struggled like this, it made him feel like he would die in pain, but…

Standing in the elevator, Lan Xiu held himself up with the elevator and took a few breaths in a row. He had to rely on his strong self-control to gather his thoughts back.

At this moment, the elevator reached the first floor…

After calming down, he blinked and calmly walked out of the elevator…
