Kouta was sitting on the edge of the bed peeling an apple. He hadn't expected that turning on the TV would make Hui so happy, but he was too busy to do anything else, so he just replied casually, "Okay, okay, I saw it, I saw it!"

Seeing that Kouta wasn't even looking at the TV, Huijian realized he was making excuses, pouted in dissatisfaction, and said fiercely, "Kouta~ you're bad~ Kouta's bad~"

In the past few days, Kōta has also taught Hui some simple words.

Therefore, Hui can now say other things besides "Gengtai".

Hearing Hui's dissatisfaction, Kouta put down the fruit knife in his hand and began to stroke Hui's little head. Her long, smooth hair was very silky and soft, and his palm slid over it as if touching a precious brocade.

Hui, like a little puppy, squinted her eyes and enjoyed Kouta's petting.

As for the dissatisfaction from earlier, it had long been forgotten.

Kouta looked at Hui's silly expression and smiled indulgently. Then he continued peeling the apple, this time speeding up and finishing in no time. He then cut off a small piece, held it in his hand, and brought it to Hui's mouth.

Hui had eaten this unfamiliar thing yesterday and knew that these small white pieces were sweet and delicious.

She parted her lips slightly, bit into the small pieces of fruit, chewed them carefully, and a look of happiness appeared on her beautiful face.

After seeing that Kei had finished eating, Kouta cut off another piece and continued to feed her. Kei accepted it without hesitation until she had eaten half of it before calling out, "Kouta~ I'm full~", indicating that she couldn't eat anymore.

Upon hearing this, Kouta stopped feeding him and finished the remaining half of the apple himself.

After eating and drinking her fill, Hui stared intently at the urban drama on the TV screen.

His focused and earnest expression made Kouta ask in confusion, "Hui, can you understand it?"

"Kōta?" Hui tilted her head and looked at him.

Kōta rubbed his forehead, sighed, and felt that he was a complete idiot for asking that question.

He suddenly noticed that the wall clock showed 10 a.m. Looking out the window, he saw that Sapporo had experienced a significant drop in temperature last night, and the sky outside was a soft, overcast sky, like a white curtain. There was neither the lingering warmth of a rainy day nor the brilliance of a scorching sun; it was dull, monotonous, and hazy.

"Hui, would you like to go for a walk?" Kouta remembered that the doctor had said that appropriate exercise was essential for pregnant women.

"Geng Tai?" Hui was puzzled.

Kouta pointed out the window and slowly read, "Go—out—"

Hui didn't understand, but following Kouta's gesture, she looked out the window and saw the scene outside. She started clapping her little hands excitedly.

"Okay, but I need to change my clothes first."

The hospital has heating on 20 hours a day, giving you the illusion of springtime, but once you go outside, you can feel that the temperature is still quite low.

"Kengtai, Kengtai!" Hui opened her arms, waiting for Kengtai's move, without the slightest bit of shyness.

Kouta removed the blue and white striped hospital gown from Hui and put on a turtleneck sweater. The sweater was very loose and wouldn't compress her lower abdomen. She then changed into a chiffon plaid skirt, wore thermal tights underneath, put on a pair of black ankle shoes, and finally added a down jacket on top.

"Hui, there's also this!" Kouta took out a face mask.

“Kenta~o(一︿一+)o” Huiyi saw the pink mask and immediately showed a slightly angry expression.

"Huihui, be good!" Kōta coaxed patiently. "Huihui is a good girl. Good girls always wear masks when they go out!"

Hui pouted, still somewhat doubtful, but still agreed.

Kouta put the pink mask on Hui's face, covering her stunningly beautiful features.

This mask is not a medical mask, but a decorative mask. It is not only breathable, but can also block cold winds to some extent.

With everything prepared, Kōta led Ài out of the ward.

As I went downstairs and entered the lobby on the first floor, a blast of cold air hit me the moment the automatic door opened.

Outside the door, everything was covered in a blanket of silver frost, but the air was very fresh. Kouta held Kei's hand and they walked slowly along the cobblestone path.

The lawns on both sides were somewhat withered and yellow, some trees had lost their leaves and were bare, while others were still lush and green.

After walking for a while, a vibrant color appeared before their eyes.

This is a circular flowerbed planted with tulips of various vibrant colors: yellow, red, white, purple, orange... Despite the cold snap, they still shine brightly, displaying a myriad of postures. Some gracefully unfurl their petals; some whisper secrets to each other; some are still budding, like shy little girls; and some are in full bloom, vying for beauty with passersby!

"Hui, no!" Kouta pulled Hui back as she squatted down to pick flowers out of curiosity.

Hui looked at Kōta with dissatisfaction, pursing her lips.

"Wait a moment." Kouta squatted down and picked a white tulip. The stem of the flower was covered with a layer of frost, and it was painful to touch. However, Kouta remained expressionless and held the stem tightly until the warmth of his hands melted all the frost before handing it to Kei.

"Hui, here you go."

“Gengtai, Gengtai! (*^▽^*)” Hui happily accepted the flower.

Looking at the happy Hui, Kouta smiled with a look of happiness and doting affection.

Just then, a teasing voice came from ahead, instantly alerting Kouta.

"Hey~, I didn't expect you to have this kind of expression?" Hazuki walked up to Kouta, her face full of resentment, her tone indignant, "You big bad guy always have a cold face in front of me!"

Kouta never expected to meet this woman here.

However, before he could figure out how to deal with this woman, Hui stood in front of him, fully wary of the man before her, like an eagle protecting its chicks, or like a child afraid that its treasure would be taken away.

"You bad woman, get out of here!"

Chapter 442 Hospitality

Hazuki was stunned. She had imagined all sorts of scenarios when she met Kei, but she never expected to be called a bad woman.

"Hui, you should be polite to strangers." Kouta gently instructed Hui, pulling her behind him before turning to Hazuki, "Sorry, my wife is a bit rude."

"Wife...?"

Hazuki's deep blue eyes flashed with an inexplicable expression.

Although Hui wore a mask to cover her stunningly beautiful face, her long, slender legs encased in pantyhose, her exposed snow-white skin, and her graceful figure that showed no signs of bloating even during pregnancy, and most importantly, the otherworldly, divine aura she possessed, made even a fellow beauty like herself feel inferior at just one glance.

She had already sent people to investigate Kouta over the past few days, and according to the information, there was only one woman whom Fujiki Kouta cherished so much...

Thinking of this, she exchanged a glance with Kei, who was standing behind Kouta and looked at her with obvious dislike, and then shook her head with a smile.

She had long been curious about the legendary girl in front of her, who was rumored to be the most beautiful woman in Japan.

She claimed to be curious, but in reality, it was just that she, being a beautiful woman herself, was unconvinced.

Outsiders praised Consort Huizi as "the most beautiful girl in Japanese history!"—a single sentence that seemed to trample all Japanese women underfoot.

She is a noble lady from the Miyazaki family, so why is she being said to be inferior to a commoner girl!

However, now that she has seen the real Empress Hui, setting aside her stunning beauty and graceful figure, the key thing is the pure and ethereal aura she exudes, so immaculate and otherworldly. She really can't understand why a commoner girl would have such an aura.

Realizing she couldn't even compare to the silly Hui, she sighed in admiration, "As expected of the famous Princess Hui, renowned throughout the capital!"

Upon hearing this, Kouta's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Don't get excited, I didn't mean to provoke you, senior!" Hazuki said weakly.

"What exactly are you doing here?" Kouta asked sharply, completely unfazed by the question.

Hazuki's face paled, and she took two steps back. The girl's heart seemed to have been deeply wounded by Kouta's words, and her eyes even welled up with tears: "In your eyes, am I the kind of person who only comes to you when I need something?"

Kouta had a look on his face that said, "Aren't you one too?"

The moment he saw Hazuki, he had a feeling that he had encountered a shrewd businesswoman. He felt that he couldn't trust any of this woman's words, glances, actions, or expressions. If he did, he would be "sold out and still be counting the money for the other party."

Hazuki seemed to realize that Kouta wasn't buying it, and instantly returned to a serious demeanor. The tear stains at the corners of her eyes had vanished without a trace, perfectly demonstrating what it means to change one's expression faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Okay, I do need to talk to you about something."

"Then you've come to the wrong person. My deal with you is complete, and we're no longer related." Kouta said, then turned to leave.

"I have some information that you'll definitely find interesting!" Hazuki Miyamori said with a smile. "Why don't you consider it?"

Kouta paused in his steps, clearly intrigued by Hazuki's words.

"What intelligence?"

"This isn't the place to talk. How about over there?" Hazuki pointed behind her.

Kouta looked in the direction Hazuki was pointing; it was the building of the Miyamori Hospital restaurant.

He thought for a moment and then nodded, taking Hui's hand and walking towards the direction behind Ye Yue.

At this moment, Kei, who was behind Kouta, cried. Although she did not understand the conversation between the two, she felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw Kouta leaving her and throwing himself into the arms of another woman.

Hui clung tightly to Kouta, her expression sorrowful, tears welling in her eyes, and pleaded softly, "Kouta~ don't~ go~ Hui~ be good~"

Kouta felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing this, and began to gently stroke Hui's head to comfort her, carefully explaining to her that he would not abandon her...

Hazuki watched as the two in front of her were showering each other with affection.

A hint of envy flickered deep in her eyes; for someone like her, trusting others was an incredibly difficult thing to do.

Not to mention that after learning from her beastly father, she had almost given up on men and had no hope for love, until... she saw Hui like this.

Even if you become silly, there will always be someone who loves you, cares for you, protects you, cherishes you, and won't let you suffer the slightest grievance... She suddenly wanted that feeling too.

Hazuki led the way, with Kouta holding Kei's hand and following behind.

Black-clad bodyguards, who were on standby, followed the three of them a few meters away.

As the group entered the restaurant, they immediately attracted the attention of many people inside.

Those who come to Miyazaki Hospital for treatment are all either rich or noble, and they immediately recognized the unique dark blue pupils of the Miyazaki direct descendants.

Therefore, even though Hazuki rarely appears in public, some people have already guessed her identity.

As the new chairperson of the Miyamori Foundation, she can be considered the local tyrant of Sapporo and even the entire Hokkaido, wielding immense power and capable of affecting the livelihoods of millions with a single word.

One of the skinny boys saw Hazuki and his eyes flashed with excitement. He didn't expect to run into the chairman of the Miyamori Foundation here, especially since this girl was so beautiful and approachable, and seemed like she would be easy to pick up.

He got up to strike up a conversation, already picturing himself as someone who would have both wealth and beauty. However, he had only taken two steps when he was stopped by Ye Yue's bodyguard, who had already put one hand inside his pocket...

The boy felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and without daring to say a word, he sheepishly returned home.

The boy's hasty escape drew snickers from those around him, who mocked his overestimation of his abilities.

Some observant people also noticed Kouta behind Hazuki.

They were very curious about this person's identity, that the current chairman of the Miyazaki Foundation would personally receive him. This treatment... could he be the Emperor?

Amidst the various opinions, Hazuki led Kouta and Kei into a private elevator deep inside the lobby. This elevator was unlocked by fingerprint and was not open to outsiders at all. It was the only way to reach the top floor of the restaurant building.

Upon arriving at the top floor of the restaurant, what greets the eye is a huge indoor greenhouse botanical garden, with cascading waterfalls, chirping brightly colored birds, and all sorts of exotic flowers and plants... giving one the illusion of being in a fairyland.

The ground here is covered with lush green lawn, and in the center, there is an elegant dining table.
