Chapter 115 You'll Always Be My Darling

Chapter 115 You'll Always Be My Darling~ (Second Update)
"This is my home, can't I come here?"

She walked straight to Shirafumi Koyo's side and looked at the woman coldly.

"Stop telling jokes like that. You've even changed your name, are you still part of this family? Weren't you the one who wanted to sever ties with this family the most? What are you doing showing up again now? You know your brother can't take care of himself, so you're thinking of getting a share of the pie?!"

Faced with this woman, Shiramine Koyo's stepmother was clearly more sharp and wary.

But the sudden appearance of Wangyue didn't seem to frighten him at all.

She even gave a disdainful sneer.

"Whether I divide the property or not is our family's business. But you, an outsider, what if you changed your surname? You should know that my brother made a will a long time ago. If anything happens to him, this family's property has nothing to do with you. Don't bring up the law with me. If I want, I can hire the best lawyer in Zhaori to argue with you slowly."

"Since your brother has entrusted these matters to Koyo, it's not your place to interfere. Are you being so earnest in speaking up for Nakajima because you've received a bribe?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

The woman suddenly bristled, seemingly wanting to pounce on her on the spot. But after seeing the cold gaze directed at her by the woman in front of her, she couldn't take a step.

Mochizuki Miki, however, showed no hesitation and coldly replied, "You'd better not let me find out. You know how the organization deals with traitors who betray their own people. Your so-called status as the president's wife is nothing but a fart in front of me."

"Very good, very good. The president's in trouble, and all your treacherous ambitions have surfaced. Wait until he wakes up, I'll see what you all do then!!"

After uttering those harsh words, the woman angrily left the hall.

Bai Feng Hongye turned her head somewhat dazedly to look at the tall woman beside her.

"Why are you back?"

Mochizuki Miki stared at the excessively young gray-haired girl.

“I told you, this is my home, of course I have to come back to help you.”

"Help me. Why so suddenly? Are you abandoning your side?"

"Of course I have to take care of it, but it won't cause much trouble. Compared to all that, your situation is more important. If I don't come back, how much longer will you be bullied by that bitch?"

Bai Feng Hongye felt somewhat ashamed, "After all, she is my father's woman, so I shouldn't be too harsh on her."

"You're overthinking it. If you don't stand up for yourself at a time like this, you're giving others the opportunity to become ambitious. It's like when your father fell, all sorts of monsters and demons started to emerge."

"I understand, but since you're willing to come back, Aunt, why don't you take care of these things?"

"I can't do it, you'll have to do it yourself."

How could she possibly have that much time? If fate had truly given her ample time, she wouldn't have returned so suddenly.

"Really? But the situation is really bad right now."

With this woman's presence, Bai Feng Hongye felt the pressure lessen considerably. In her mind, this woman had always been the epitome of intelligence and strength. Her father had mentioned many times that, if not for certain reasons, she might have been more suitable than him to take over the family business.

My father has never told me the reason.

"I know. Now tell me, what's the story behind that Nakajima Daigo guy who defected to you?"

Without hesitation, Shiramine Koyo recounted her entire conversation with Kitagawa Shiroo.

Somewhat surprisingly, after hearing these words, Mochizuki Miki didn't laugh at the absurdity and ridiculousness of the matter. On the contrary, she seemed to fall into deep thought, as if she was seriously considering the details of the matter.

Do you think Kitagawa Shiroo is a valuable person?

Mochizuki Mihime asked.

After a moment's hesitation, Shiramine Koyo nodded. "Of course. He not only knows a little about Nakajima Daigo, but he also has some men under his command. For us, who are currently in a weak position, this is certainly a help."

"Then we can do it."

Mochizuki Miki said.

Shiramine Koyo blinked. "You believe what he's saying? Are you really going to break ties with Nakajima Daigo right now?"

Mochizuki Miki smiled. "I probably wouldn't have believed it before, but I recently met an interesting person. Well, I do believe there are amazing people in this world."

"Secondly, regardless of whether this person even exists, your acceptance of Kitagawa Shiroo won't lead to a complete breakdown in relations. Nakajima Daigo has painstakingly cultivated this relationship for so long, yet he seems to lack any ambition whatsoever. Therefore, he won't act against us unless he's absolutely forced to, or when he's 100% certain. He needs to keep this mask on. Who aligns with whom is a matter of personal choice. If he's unwilling to take action, it would only make him appear petty, revealing his wolfish ambitions. Why are you worried about this?"

".I see."

Upon hearing Mochizuki Miki's words, Shiramine Kouyou realized the gap between herself and this woman.

Mochizuki Miki gently grasped Shiramine Momiji's hand and whispered.

“I know it’s difficult to put the whole burden on your shoulders after my brother’s accident. I believe my brother will be very gratified that you didn’t choose to back down. So if you’re going to do it, then go for it. Is there any way out in this kind of family? Let’s win this battle first. A way out is never left to you by others; it’s something you have to fight for yourself.”

"it is good."

This time, Shiramine Koyo clenched her fists.

It was as if they had firmly grasped their only pillar of support.

"Don't worry, I'm here for you. Since he said there will be a chance to meet that person, I'll go with you that day. The Bai Feng family won't fall apart, at least not now."

"Ah."

Shiramine Koyo released Mochizuki Miki's hand, took a deep breath, and walked back to the tea room with a cold face.

When she reappeared in front of Kitagawa Shiroo.

Kitagawa Shiro was already mentally and physically exhausted.

"So, Miss Baifeng, have you decided how you want to deal with my life?"

Bai Feng Hongye tilted her head slightly, thinking about the expression on her aunt's face when facing her stepmother.

That was, in her opinion, the most powerful aspect a woman could possess.

It's not just about facial expressions and eyes, but also about the aura emanating from within.

"I want your life. Now go and bring your people here, and I will give you a place to stay."

……

"Ohayo~"

The bright summer sun shines on the world, and the girl standing under the green trees has a high ponytail that sways with her movements.

The boy, who had just arrived at the school gate, naturally moved closer to this direction.

"You look so energetic, Kazama-kun."

"It's alright~ After all, we'll be on holiday after today, so it's hard to be in a bad mood."

A girl of this age exudes a fresh, pleasant fragrance when you get close. Her skin is snow-white and delicate, brimming with collagen. Undoubtedly, she is the world's greatest gift to men.

Hmm? Does this count as objectification?
Gen Tsukino didn't care about that.

"If you didn't do well on the test, would you still be in such a good mood?"

"Don't say things that make people unhappy at a time like this, and besides, they might not even have done badly on the test this time."

“Oh? You sound very confident,” Tsukino Gen said with a smile.

The girl's eyes crinkled with laughter, revealing a hint of mischief.

"Of course, this progress will definitely impress you. Get ready for a reward; it's guaranteed!"

"A reward? Wasn't it given out a few days ago?"

Gen Tsukino feigned doubt.

Sakura Kazama blushed instantly, recalling that night when the boy kissed her deeply.

"What are you saying? That doesn't count!"

"Oh? So you mean Kazama-kun's first kiss is refreshed every day? What a scumbag!"

"Get out of here! Keep your voice down!!"

Kazama Sakura blushed and pinched the boy's arm, but Tsukino Gen didn't dodge. Why didn't he dodge? Because it didn't hurt.

"Why are you so afraid? I don't care."

"It's not like you guys are the ones who suffer in these kinds of situations~"

Sakura Kazama gave a light snort of dissatisfaction, but the corners of her mouth were clearly upturned. After all, regardless of the circumstances, at least he didn't deny that the incident occurred. Right, they hadn't been drinking; he couldn't very well say he was too drunk to remember, could he?
"Why can't we say that we boys are at a disadvantage? Boys are precious things that need to be cherished too."

Gen Tsukino spoke seriously, and his earnest expression made Sakura Kazama want to punch him in the face.

Now she understood why Asagiri Rin was always so grumpy when she was with this boy; he could make your emotions fluctuate three or four times in a minute, he was simply inhuman.

"I wish I could lock you in a safe, you are such a treasure."

"Are you that possessive? You rascal."

"Yeah, it even has a bit of a confinement play element."

Gen Tsukino: ? ? ?

Did I go too far with my joke and push this innocent girl too far?

Seeing that the boy didn't speak, the girl proudly tossed her ponytail.

We walked together to the classroom. The road wasn't long, and it seemed like we'd reach the end soon.

But the girl clearly had something on her mind that she had been thinking about for a long time. She observed the boy's expression and noticed the young couples around her who were no longer trying to hide their feelings.

"Since you still remember what happened last time..."

She spoke softly.

Tsukino Gen asked curiously, "What is it?"

"You yourself mentioned it, after that dinner party that day..."

The girl blushed and reminded the other person.

"Oh, I remember. What's wrong?"

Gen Tsukino did not deny it.

The girl's heart was pounding. "Then why did you do that back then?"

This question may seem a bit silly, but it is essentially a young girl's reserve and modesty that slightly conceals what she really wants to ask.

Why did you kiss yourself at that moment? It actually means that you acted that way because of how you perceived your relationship with him.

She felt that given the boy's keen perception, he should be able to easily figure out what answer he wanted.

Does Tsukino Gen know this?

He looked up at the excessively blue sky above them.

"Favorability."

"Ok?"

what?
Did I just hear some game terminology?
The boy turned his head and met his own eyes with his handsome smile.

Its brilliance was so dazzling that it was almost blinding.

"The affinity level has been unlocked, so I felt it should be like this. It's like when you reach a certain point in a game and unlock new skills and gameplay."

"Huh? Wait, wait, wait? That's not right."

Wait.

This doesn't seem like the answer I wanted to hear!

"Where did I go wrong? If I was too forward in Kazama's eyes, then I apologize and I won't do it again."

That's even more wrong!
She stared wide-eyed at Tsukino Gen until she saw the tense smile in his eyes before she realized what was happening.

This jerk is playing dumb again!!
"You deliberately?"

"No~"

"You know perfectly well that's not what I wanted to ask!"

"what is that?"

Gen Tsukino blinked.

The girl blushed, glared at Tsukino Gen, and couldn't help but whisper, "What kind of relationship do we have?"

The boy did not flinch; he answered in a low voice.
