Chapter 773: Well, I have a friend...

"Seriously, I can't understand it at all."

Although he said so, Bai Heqing still kept slowly flipping through the notebook on the table filled with various experimental records.

Holding her chin with one hand and leaning sideways on the desk, Elena Miyano looked at his behavior and couldn't help laughing:

"If you can't understand, why are you still turning over it?"

After joining the Karasuma Group, Shirakawa Kiyoshi would come to this research institute to see the couple every once in a while. The frequency of each visit was not fixed. Sometimes he came every day, and sometimes he came only once every few days, but Generally speaking, Shirakawa Kiyo comes at least twice a week.

The length of stay is not fixed each time he comes. Sometimes he just chats for a few words and then leaves. Sometimes he stays for an entire afternoon. It is completely random and completely depends on Bai Heqing's mood at the time and his time availability.

As a sensitive and intelligent woman, Elena Miyano certainly knew Shirakawa-kun's intention in doing this. He was clearly conveying his "valuation" of their couple.

Mr. Shirakawa has stated more than once before that the Karasuma Group is not a clean company. After officially establishing cooperation with the Karasuma Group, Elena Miyano also realized this firsthand.

Not to mention anything else, just the "bodyguards" equipped with real guns and live ammunition in the institute made her realize that it was not simple.

Those things are not something ordinary companies can get...

Shirakawa-kun's frequent appearance is an alternative way of protecting the couple, and it is the cornerstone that allows the couple to live a smooth and smooth life in this very extraordinary Karasuma Group.

With Shirakawa-kun's status within the Karasuma Group, he is fully capable of doing this.

It must be stated here that Shirakawa-kun never told Elena Miyano about his identity in the Karasuma Group. After all, the two had made an agreement before that she would not find out too much about Shirakawa-kun's identity.

All of this was inferred by Elena Miyano based on a previous accident.

When she first moved to this new place, Elena Miyano once met a woman who came with Mr. Shirakawa when he came to the institute.

The woman was of mixed race like her, with silver hair and a good figure. Not only did she look the same age as Shirakawa-kun, but she also had a similar melancholic aura to Shirakawa-kun.

That time alone, Elena Miyano confirmed that the woman must be Shirakawa-kun's wife.

This is not only because Shirakawa-kun has mentioned to her before that his wife is also a mixed race, but more importantly, as a woman, Miyano Elena can completely see the woman looking at Shirakawa-kun, That unabashedly unique emotion.

It was also from that time that Elena Miyano suddenly guessed Shirakawa Kiyo's identity in the Karasuma Group, and also understood why he dared to directly use the surname Karasuma as a pseudonym before.

Because he is the son-in-law of President Karasuma.

As for the daughter of the president of the Karasuma Group, because she has never appeared in public, there is very little relevant information that can be found in today's society. Miyano Elena's sister, Akai Marie, also had a daughter from nearly twenty years ago. I finally found some clues in a newspaper from a Tokyo newspaper.

It seemed to be the promotion of a certain aristocratic girls' high school in Tokyo at that time. It was said that President Karasuma's mysterious daughter had attended that high school.

Although the newspaper did not publish a photo, it briefly mentioned the mysterious mixed-race man in writing.

Based on the above, the clever Elena Miyano guessed Shirakawa Kiyo's identity within the Karasuma Group.

Elena Miyano feels that their family is really lucky.

Not only were they able to meet the Karasuma Group who supported their research at all costs, but they were also able to meet friends who were willing to sincerely protect them. This was really a very lucky thing for the couple...

"Look a few more times, maybe one day you will suddenly understand?"

Bai Heqing's words brought Elena Miyano out of her thoughts. She looked at Bai Heqing who said these words with a smile and said:

"Well, I am very optimistic, but how can things in this world be so simple..."

After the words fell, Elena Miyano suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Mr. Baihe did one less thing today. This was something Bai Heqing would do only if she was present in the institute.

"Mr. Miyano isn't here today?"

That's right, every time Shirakawa Qing comes and she is the only one in the institute, his first question is definitely this.

The same is true in reverse. When Elena Miyano is away and only her husband is around, Shirakawa Kiyoshi's words will become a question to her.

Bai Heqing had never broken this polite habit before, but today he unusually did not ask. If there was a question, something was wrong...

Realizing this, Elena Miyano thought and asked tentatively:

"Shirakawa-kun, is there anything you want to ask me for today?"

She could only think that Bai Heqing deliberately came to see her today when Miyano Atsushi was away, and wanted her help with something.

Sure enough, when she asked this question, Bai Heqing's hand, which was still flipping through the notebook, suddenly stopped.

"Um……"

But unlike Bai Heqing who was straightforward in the past, today's Bai Heqing seemed to be quite hesitant. He just responded without directly admitting or denying.

It seems that what he wants to say is not a very simple matter for him.

I just don’t know what kind of thing could make Mr. Bai He come to ask her for help?

Seeing his appearance, Elena Miyano blinked and immediately smiled:

"Well, if it's hard to talk about your own affairs, let's talk about your friend Shirakawa-kun first, right?"

"My friend?" Bai Heqing turned to look at her with some confusion.

"That's right." Nodding her head, Elena Miyano kept smiling and said: "It's hard to talk about your own affairs, so just talk about your friends'."

She repeated it again.

This time, Bai Heqing understood what she meant.

"I understand."

Pulling a chair aside and sitting down, Bai Heqing nodded, then thought for a moment, and then spoke little by little:

"I have a friend who... has a wife, and the relationship between them is also very good."

"Uh-huh."

Looking at Bai Heqing who paused in speaking, the smile on Miyano Elena's face remained unchanged.

[It seems that you want to ask me questions related to my family...]

She suddenly regained the feeling of seeing patients as a doctor.

"Then...my friend and his wife...had two biological children..."

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Elena Miyano was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked:

"Shirakawa-kun, does your...your friend actually have a child?"
