Dongfang Liuyun walked out of the door and bumped into a wall. She subconsciously steadied herself and a pair of strong arms instantly supported her—
“Are you alright?”
A caring and emotional voice was heard and Dongfang Liuyun raised her gaze.
It was Qi Lei. He was slightly wet and clearly had just rushed over from outside. At this moment, it was still very misty outside.
“Why are you here too?”
Dongfang Liuyun looked at her husband who had suddenly appeared with some surprise.
“The hospital called. They said that his situation improved. I came to take a look. I just spoke to the doctor to understand the situation. How is it now?”
Qi Lei held her shoulders with one hand and said in a low voice. His gaze moved away from her face and landed on the hospital bed inside.
“He just had a checkup and was given a nutrient solution. He’s fine. Don’t disturb him. The nurse will take care of him,” said Dongfang Liuyun.
Qi Lei nodded and let go of her. He walked in and stood by the bed to watch for a while. He gave a few instructions to the nurse before walking out.
Dongfang Liuyun waited outside the corridor for quite a while.
“I went to buy some things nearby. I just happened to come over to take a look. Where did you run off to? I was looking for you at home for quite a while just now. Why didn’t you tell me you were going out?”
Dongfang Liuyun handed him a tissue. Qi Lei accepted it tacitly and wiped the drizzle off his face.
“I saw that you were sleeping comfortably, so I didn’t want to alarm you. Have they sent the gown over?”
Qi Lei did not forget about the gown either.
“The designer is waiting for you to go back and give it a try. Mine shouldn’t be a problem anymore. There’s no problem with the size. I like the style. Have you settled everything now?”
“Yes, it’s about time. Let’s go home.”
Qi Lei hugged her and walked forward.
“Actually, I’m looking forward to how we’ll look in our outfits. Yang Sheng said that the designer has put in a lot of effort.”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him as she spoke.
“It’s good that you like it. Tell me when you’re coming over next time. You don’t have to come over to see him. It’s meaningless. Even if he wakes up, I’m not hoping for him to make any changes.”
Qi Lei was naturally disheartened by Qi Qiming. It made sense. He had always liked Qi Feng as his son. If he woke up and found out that Qi Feng had died in Qi Lei’s arms, his hatred for him might deepen.
He had had enough of such a life.
“Don’t think too much. Just let nature take its course. Perhaps the situation isn’t as bad as you think. I believe in a parents’ nature.”
Compared to Qi Lei’s pessimism, Dongfang Liuyun had a much better mentality.
Later on, Qi Lei only glanced at her and did not say anything else.
The husband and wife walked forward hand in hand.
...
It was close to evening. The sky was gloomy and the autumn rain was falling.
Hidden in a place secluded from the mortal world was the Cloud Residence .
“Master, Mr. Ge is calling. Do you want to pick up?”
In Fujiwara’s study, Fujiwara was sitting by the coffee table, quietly observing an exquisite teacup in his hand. Suddenly, Matsuda’s voice came from the side.
Hearing this, Fujiwara quickly stopped what he was doing. He raised his head slightly and looked over—
“It should be about a collaboration project with Master Lan Xiu,” said Matsuda.
Fujiwara’s cold face froze for a moment. After a moment, he put down the teacup in his hand and reached out to Matsuda.
Matsuda quickly handed the phone to him, and Fujiwara took it—
“It’s me.”
A low and cold voice came over.
“Mr. Fujiwara, it’s really not easy to get you on the phone.”
A low laugh soon came from the other end. “It’s been so long since we last met. You haven’t forgotten me, right? I’ve always been thinking about Mr. Fujiwara.”
Listening to this, Fujiwara also frowned slightly. Naturally, he also remembered who Mr. Ge was.
“Of course I haven’t forgotten.”
Fujiwara replied very calmly.
“My honor! It’s good that you haven’t forgotten. I’m going to City Z in two days. I know that Mr. Fujiwara, you’re also in City Z. Coincidentally, there are some things that I think we might need to discuss.”
The person on the other end laughed.
“What do we need to discuss?”
Fujiwara frowned even more and asked coldly.
Mr. Ge laughed out loud on the other end. “Mr. Fujiwara, don’t be nervous. After all, we’re pretty good friends. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely handle this matter properly. Lan Xiu should have looked for you, right?”
“I didn’t ask you to make things difficult for them. You’re making me very dissatisfied, Mr. Ge.”
Fujiwara’s cold voice traveled over.
“I didn’t make things difficult for them. Don’t worry, Mr. Fujiwara. My plane will arrive in City Z at 5 p.m. in three days. Let’s meet up. I think there are some things that we still need to talk about, especially this time. This project isn’t that simple. Aren’t you interested in understanding it, Mr. Fujiwara?”
Fujiwara’s face tensed up for a moment. He thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll ask Matsuda to pick you up at the airport on that day.”
“Alright, I was waiting for you to say that.”
Mr. Ge replied with satisfaction.
Fujiwara had already hung up the phone, and he did not look too good.
“Master, did Mr. Ge say something?” Matsuda asked tentatively.
Fujiwara’s gaze darkened for a moment as he replied indifferently, “This person has always been crafty. Even if Lan Xiu wants to cooperate with him, he needs to at least have some of his trump cards. Otherwise, the ones at a disadvantage will naturally be Lan Xiu and the others. All these years, he has been using the Fujiwara family’s name to amass wealth. His methods are also not something that ordinary people can compare to. How did Lan Xiu find a partner like him?”
Fujiwara was somewhat puzzled.
“The project that Lan Xiu is working on is actually a better collaboration with Mr. Ge. Not everyone can take down such a big project.” Matsuda explained.
Fujiwara’s gaze was somewhat deep. After a moment of silence, he threw the phone on the table, picked up the antique teacup from before, and scrutinized it carefully as he spoke, “Go and find out what this Mr. Ge has been up to recently. Find out who he’s been dealing with. I want detailed information.”
He ordered coldly.
Matsuda was a little surprised, but he did not dare say anything else. He quickly replied, “Yes!”
“Oh right, Master, Elder Master wants you to call home when you’re free. There might be a situation there.”
Matsuda reminded him.
“Everything is going smoothly here, can’t he oversee the company himself?” Fujiwara said coldly.
“No, Master. You know that Elder Master hasn’t been feeling well recently. I’m afraid he’s a little out of his depth with regards to the company’s matters.”
“He’s been using the same excuses over the past few years. Tell him to get a new one.”
“Master...”
