Fujiwara glanced at Song Siting and sat down as well.
“Come, have some hot tea. It’s so late, and it seems like it’s still raining outside. Can’t you come back tomorrow? Why don’t you give Auntie a call in advance so that I can make you some delicious food?”
Song Siting looked at Fujiwara, who was obviously much thinner, and naturally felt some pity for him.
Song Siting knew everything about the relationship between Fujiwara and Dongfang Liuyun.
“I went to the hospital to visit Auntie before, and I was worried that I wasn’t coming at the right time now either. I know that you don’t like to sleep early, so I decided to come over. I’ve been back in City Z for quite some time, so I thought I’d come and visit. I hope I didn’t disturb your rest.”
Fujiwara’s tone was no longer as cold as before. Now as he spoke, he sounded much calmer.
“What nonsense. The hospital wasn’t a good place to meet, it’s best that that you don’t go there if you can avoid it. It’s good to come to my home now, your Uncle Dongfang isn’t home either. If you have time in the future, you can come home often with Lan Xiu. Although my chess skills aren’t as good as your Uncle Dongfang’s and Liuyun’s, I could still past time with you.”
Song Siting did not know what to say to Fujiwara. She had not expected things to turn out this way. She had always thought that no matter how much Dongfang Liuyun vented her anger, she would marry Fujiwara in the end. However, she had not expected that things would turn out this way.
“If Auntie doesn’t mind, I’d obviously be honored as well. I’ve been away from City Z all these years. Every year, Auntie will remember my birthday, thank you. Today, I just wanted to visit Auntie. I’m relieved to know that you’re recovering well. I’ve heard about the matter as well. I hope Auntie will be more careful and take care of yourself in the future.”
Fujiwara said calmly. Seeing that Song Siting’s complexion was recovering well, his heart eased a little.
“Thank you for your concern. It was just an accident this time. It’s not a big deal. As for you… you’ve been back for so long. Liuyun, she…”
Song Siting’s tone was trying to probe. She was not sure what was going on between the two of them. However, looking at Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun’s interaction just now, she felt a little worried for Fujiwara’s situation.
She knew her daughter’s character. Since she had made such a choice, it would be very difficult for her to turn back. Therefore, at this moment, seeing Fujiwara’s eyes darken instantly, she did not know why, her heart ached slightly.
Fujiwara actually did not like to talk much. Previously, he was rather quiet, but he was really good to Dongfang Liuyun. He was so good that even Song Siting felt touched, but…
Back then, the two of them must have loved each other very much. Now that they could not be together, Song Siting also felt that it was a pity, and…
“Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ve seen Liuyun, and I know about her marriage to Qi Lei.”
Seeing that Song Siting wanted to say something but hesitated, Fujiwara said the rest for her.
“Liuyun has always been decisive in doing things. Your Uncle Dongfang and I only found out about her and Qi Lei later. I thought that the two of you would end up together, I didn’t expect fate to play tricks on us. Ah Ye, perhaps our Liuyun isn’t so lucky…”
Song Siting’s tone was a little stifled, and her eyes darkened, “This time, I’m worried that it’ll be the same as before. It’s hard to change the decisions she make. I don’t know what else to say. Liuyun and Qi Lei came home for dinner just now, and I was a little unhappy with Liuyun. It’s been the same all these years, I…”
“Auntie, there’s no need to explain anything to me. These things have nothing to do with Auntie. Emotionally, neither of us can control the other. It’s my fault for not being good enough and not working hard enough. There’s nothing to blame.”
Fujiwara spoke in a low voice. He lowered his gaze and took a sip of tea. A wry smile appeared on his lips. “Auntie, it’s already very fortunate for me to be able to come in and have some tea.”
“Ah Ye… please don’t say that. Auntie feels terrible when you say that. This will always be home to you and Lan Xiu. You can come over whenever you want. There’s no need to be so formal, we weren’t such strangers in the past?”
That was right, I was not so formal in the past. It was just that it was no longer the past now. Everything was already…
Fujiwara suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart. He raised his head slightly and looked around. It was almost the same as when he had come over. The only difference was that the oil painting at the entrance had been replaced with a landscape painting.
“Has she been doing well all these years?”
Fujiwara asked after thinking for a moment.
Song Siting naturally knew that this ‘she’ was referring to Liuyun.
“She’s still the same as before, relationship with the family is quite indifferent. Things have been better since she got married to Qi Lei. At the very least, she would occasionally come home to visit. For the past few years, she was always out and it was hard to see her all year round. Fortunately, she’s been learning up in the company recently, so she doesn’t have time to go outside anymore. She’ll probably be settled in the future.”
“How about you? Have you been well these past few years?”
Song Siting asked with concern.
“Other than being very busy, everything is fine.”
“Don’t be too stingy with yourself, take care of your health. Look at how thin you’ve become… Sigh, I know how you feel about Liuyun, but now, it’s too late… you’re also an excellent child, but Liuyun doesn’t have that blessing. Even if I looked forward to the two of you being together, we can’t go against fate. You don’t have to wait for her anymore. Hurry up and find a good girl and start a family.”
Other than this, Song Siting did not know what else to say. She felt a little sad.
“It doesn’t matter, Auntie. If it wasn’t for her, those two words wouldn’t have appeared in my life.”
Fujiwara said faintly. He seemed to have returned to his usual cold and indifferent self. His dark eyes also seemed very calm.
“Ah Ye, what are you…”
Song Siting frowned worriedly.
“Auntie, there’s no need to think too much. You’re still recovering, and the weather will get colder and colder these days. You have to take care of your health. It’s already so late, and I’ve disturbed you for a long time. Auntie, it’s better for you to rest early. I should go back as well.”
Fujiwara quietly put down the teacup in his hand and slowly stood up.
“It’s fine. I’ll send you off.”
Song Siting also stood up.
“There’s no need, Auntie. I’ll come back in a few days. You’re not feeling well, so you should rest early. I’ll go back now.”
Fujiwara said in a deep voice. As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the door.
