MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 20 Episode 9

Thinking about the future, if things were to continue as they did before, Fujiwara’s heart would be as dead as ash, and there seemed to be no hope of recovery. What could he do now?

He picked up the wine and drank it in a few gulps. He took a deep breath. “Whether it’s worth it or not, only I know in my heart. I can’t deny the past, and I don’t want to deny it.”

“I’ll keep my promise. Whether you, Dongfang Liuyun, accept it or not is also your business. I can’t just watch and do nothing. I only have so many feelings, and since I can’t get them back…”

At least, if it was not so painful.

Fujiwara’s tone was unusually determined, and his determined gaze made Lan Xiu feel a little apprehensive. Lan Xiu subconsciously turned his head to look at Dongfang Liuyun, trying to capture any changes in her expression. However, he saw that Dongfang Liuyun’s expression was still indifferent, other than the gloomy look in her eyes, there did not seem to be any other emotions.

After waiting for quite a while, Fujiwara did not finish his sentence. After thinking for a while, Lan Xiu reached out to stop Fujiwara, who was about to pour the wine, “Drink less.”

“It’s such a cold day, a little drink warms me up. Don’t worry, I won’t get drunk with this amount of alcohol.”

Lan Xiu’s eyes darkened. Looking at the two of them who seem so repressed, he naturally did not feel good. He watched as Fujiwara watched Dongfang Liuyun drink one glass after another. He felt very uncomfortable.

Dongfang Liuyun did not stop him. She also drank quietly. The few of them did not say much, so the atmosphere was naturally a little stifled. Lan Xiu thought for a moment and was about to ask Fujiwara to leave with him. Unexpectedly, Ah Li called.

It was a matter with the company. An important client had just arrived in City Z due to the delay of the snowy flight. Lan Xiu needed to go over and welcome him.

“You can go back first. Just send me a message when you’re done. Ask Ah Li to come pick you up,” Dongfang Liuyun said.

Lan Xiu looked at Dongfang Liuyun and Fujiwara with a complicated expression. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Ah Ye, I’ll ask Ah Li to send you back later, right? Matsuda isn’t here either…”

“No need. Go ahead and do your thing. I’m not that drunk yet.” Fujiwara replied indifferently.

Lan Xiu could only nod his head behind him. He gave Dongfang Liuyun a meaningful glance. Seeing that Dongfang Liuyun nodded his head, he left unhurriedly.

…

By the wine table, only Dongfang Liuyun and Fujiwara were left. The atmosphere was even more depressing than before.

“I can’t send a drunken you home. Since you can’t handle alcohol, you should drink less. You shouldn’t have come anyway.”

Seeing Fujiwara drinking glass after glass, Dongfang Liuyun finally said indifferently.

“I didn’t ask you to send me home. I know you hate me.” Fujiwara was stunned for a moment before he replied. He lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in his eyes. “Do you still believe in fate? Liuyun?”

This question made Dongfang Liuyun pause. She suddenly stopped moving and stared at him. She thought for a while…

“I don’t know. I’ve always felt that people make their own path, but some things are hard to explain. Let’s be straightforward and let go. We can’t go back to how we were, it’s good to leave a beautiful memory for each other.”

“If we don’t try, how do we know we can’t go back to how things were? Don’t you know why I rushed over from Japan so anxiously? If I say that I, Fujiwara, have to have you, what will you do?”

When Fujiwara asked this, he stared at Dongfang Liuyun.

Dongfang Liuyun listened, but a faint smile appeared on her face. “I’m now Qi Lei’s wife. What do you think I’ll do?”

“But you don’t love him at all!” Fujiwara said coldly.

“How do you know that I don’t love him? At least I care about him a lot right now. There’s no rule that only two people who love each other can get married and live their lives. I’m looking forward to every day of my future more and more now.” Dongfang Liuyun replied swiftly as well.

Fujiwara gave her a deep look. There was endless silence after that.

…

The night was getting darker and darker. It was destined that some people would feel uneasy tonight. Of course, Dongfang Liuyun was not in a good mood either. The two dozen beers were quickly finished. Fujiwara did not feel satisfied either, so he ordered some more high-quality beers.

The two of them sat facing each other in silence as they drank.

It was a rare night when there was a bright crescent moon hanging in the sky. The clear and cold moonlight drank the cold weather, making people feel empty and lonely.

Fujiwara did not know how many glasses he had drunk, but he finally felt a little dazed afterwards—

If getting drunk could lessen the pain in his heart, he would rather stay drunk like this forever than wake up again.

However, the person he deeply loved was right across him. He was so close that he could touch her as long as he stretched out his hand. However, he felt as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them. No matter how hard he tried, he could not reach her side.

Fujiwara was a quiet person who was not good at expressing himself. Now that he was in this situation, he finally did not know how he could explain and clear up the misunderstanding, so…

“Liuyun, I was wrong… countless times, I wished that I was the one who died… at least I wouldn’t have to suffer so much from your determination. At least at this moment, the person you should cherish in your memories is me… What can I do to have you return to my side? What do you want… I’ll give you everything… I’ll give you everything, including myself. I only want you to return to my side…”

As he finished drinking, Fujiwara was also drunk. His expression was no longer as cold as before. What was left was the dejection of a disappointed person. He could not help but reach out to grab Dongfang Liuyun and ask in a low voice, “What do you want from me?” There was clearly a hint of a choking sob in his voice.

This was the first time Dongfang Liuyun had seen Fujiwara like this. In the past, he always had a cold and deep look on his face. The way he was right now made her feel a little at a loss…

Seeing him like this, the scenes from the past suddenly came to her mind. She could not help but feel her eyes redden. She took a deep breath, turned her head away, blinked, and picked up a glass full of wine, she drank it in one gulp—

“You’re drunk, Fujiwara… Your health…”

“It doesn’t matter. You won’t be sad even if I die. I’m a little tired from holding on. Liuyun, I don’t know how much longer I can love… and how long I can hold on. I’m afraid that if I don’t hold on, we’ll become strangers. That won’t be any better than death…”
