My daily life with the original diva

"Of course, how could I not know what Hong-kun is thinking? But Hong-kun can rest assured, you may not be ready, but I am, so you don't need to worry about it." Speaking of this, Nakamori Akina stopped tidying up the clothes she was doing. Preparing the wedding room in advance made her a little embarrassed, as if she had been planning this for a long time.

However, the fact that Nakamori Akina had already prepared a wedding room surprised Kimura Hiroshi somewhat. He couldn't help but ask, "Oh, Akina, you prepared a wedding room? When did you prepare it? How come I didn't know anything about it?"

Speaking of this, Akina Nakamori was quite proud, saying, "Hiro-kun, have you forgotten? You asked me to buy a lot of apartments before. When they were being sold, I specifically kept one for myself. It's very big, with five rooms. It should be fine for temporary use."

Kimura Hiroshi was really surprised to find that it was left behind back then. But he immediately realized something was wrong. It seemed that he hadn't mentioned marriage at all when he sold the apartment. Nakamori Akina had actually kept an apartment for herself back then. Could it be that this girl had thought about marriage even earlier than him?

Thinking of this, Kimura Hiroshi put his arm around Nakamori Akina's shoulder and said in an inquiring tone, "So Akina, you had this planned all along, huh? You were prepared before I even got there?"

How could Nakamori Akina possibly admit to something like this? She shook off Kimura Hiroshi's hand and said with a righteous air, "Hiroshi-kun, don't make wild guesses. I just really like that apartment, so I kept it, thinking I could live there sometime in the future. I just didn't expect that when Hiroshi-kun proposed, he didn't even prepare a wedding house. That's why I thought of this. Hiroshi-kun, I don't really approve of your attitude towards proposing."

It was quite reasonable and well-founded, and even Kimura Hiroshi couldn't find any loopholes. On the contrary, he was preparing to propose, but he hadn't prepared anything at all. It was simply outrageous. His attitude towards the proposal was too casual. But Kimura Hiroshi naturally wouldn't admit it. He said, "No, I just wanted to wait until Akina accepted the proposal before preparing for the wedding house. What if you don't accept? Wouldn't I have bought it for nothing?"

"Oh, is that so?" Nakamori Akina looked at Kimura Hiroshi and asked incredulously.

"Yes, that's it," Kimura Hiroshi said without changing his expression.

His acting was so convincing that Nakamori Akina couldn't tell anything amiss. She lowered her head and started packing her clothes again, saying, "Okay, then I'll trust Hiro-kun. Hurry up and help me pack my clothes, otherwise we won't finish in the morning, and it will cause a lot of trouble later. It's all your fault."

The strange thing is that Kimura Hiroshi spent half the night holding her and messing around, which took up too much time. Otherwise, he would have finished cleaning up completely last night.

Seeing so many clothes left, and knowing it would take forever to pack them all up in the morning, Kimura Hiroshi simply stuffed the rest back into the closet, saying, "Don't bother packing anymore, just leave it like this. If Akina wants any clothes in the future, she can just come and get them. Does Akina really intend to never come here again?"

Looking at all the remaining clothes, Nakamori Akina felt that it did seem to make sense, so she put the clothes in her hand into her suitcase and said, "Okay, then I'll do as Hiro-kun says and take these over. I'll just have to trouble Hiro-kun to help me move these things over."

Good grief, she wants to move out herself and she needs his help, but what can he do if he doesn't help? After all, Nakamori Akina is his girlfriend and future wife, so what else can he do but do as he's told?

"Okay, I'll help." With that, he pushed two suitcases out of the apartment, and Nakamori Akina pulled one too. Then they came up and took two more, and that was how they got everything they needed into the car.

Fortunately, the apartment that Akina Nakamori rented was right next to Hiroshi Kimura's apartment complex, only a few hundred meters away. It was just a short drive away. Then, she painstakingly carried five suitcases upstairs. It was quite a hassle.

But at least he managed to move everything that needed to be moved. Actually, it didn't take much effort, but he had used up too much energy last night, which made Kimura Hiroshi a little weak today. He felt tired after moving some luggage and slumped down on the sofa in Nakamori Akina's apartment.

Nakamori Akina, on the other hand, seemed completely unaffected. When the things arrived, she even hummed a song as she tidied up her apartment, which she hadn't been back to for almost half a month. She seemed incredibly energetic, prompting Kimura Hiroshi to sigh, "She's truly an ox that's worked to death."

After tidying up briefly, Nakamori Akina couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Kimura Hiro slumped on the sofa. She said, "You were so energetic last night, Hiro-kun. How come you're already exhausted after moving so little stuff? What are you going to do when you have to go to the concert rehearsal later?"

Damn it, he was actually mocked by his girlfriend. Kimura Hiroshi couldn't accept this. He quickly stood up from the sofa and said in a very firm tone, "I'm just used to sitting like this. I'm not tired. As for the rehearsal, I have no problem at all. It's about time. I should go back."

After leaving the sofa, Kimura Hiroshi walked towards the door, and Nakamori Akina immediately followed. Just as Kimura Hiroshi was about to open the apartment door and go out, he felt Nakamori Akina hug him from behind, and Kimura Hiroshi froze.

“Don’t be angry, Hong-kun. There’s a reason why we’re living separately. You never appreciate it when we’re always together. So, we have to live separately before we get married. That way, you’ll cherish it when we get married and enjoy the beautiful time of your honeymoon. So, don’t be angry, Hong-kun. You can only blame yourself, you know?” Nakamori Akina murmured from behind.

Somewhat speechless, Kimura Hiroshi hadn't expected Nakamori Akina to mean that. He also blamed his own loose tongue, not knowing what he should and shouldn't say. Now, he would have to bear all the consequences himself.

Turning around, Kimura Hiroshi looked at Nakamori Akina and said, "Okay, I know, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Well then, consider this Akina's punishment for me. But you can't back out twice a week, okay? If you do, I'll call your house every day."

"What a scoundrel." Nakamori Akina couldn't help but roll her eyes at Kimura Hiroshi, then tiptoed and kissed him, saying, "Take good care of yourself while you live alone."

Chapter 564 You're having a fight

For Akina Nakamori, who is not good at hiding her emotions, it is quite difficult to prevent her from showing her emotions on her face. After learning that Hiroshi Kimura would propose to her, she was in a very good mood, even after moving out of Hiroshi Kimura's apartment.

The reason she moved out wasn't to spite Kimura Hiroshi, nor was it because of his comment that things were almost like marriage. Rather, she felt that if they lived separately before marriage, it would be better to live together after marriage. Of course, it was impossible for her not to be angry with Kimura Hiroshi at all; after all, he was the one who said those words.

When she's in a good mood, she's always very lively, and even her face is full of energy. Even if she gets up early to pack her things, she has to go to a magazine shoot later and record a show called Night HIT in the evening, she can't stop smiling.

When Ms. Noriko and Ms. Yoshizawa Akiyuki arrived to pick her up, Nakamori Akina was humming a song as she got into the car. The two people in the car could naturally sense her mood from that.

"Why are you so happy today, Akina-chan? And why are you in your own apartment? If you hadn't called, I would have gone to Kimura-san's apartment to pick you up." Seeing how happy Akina was, Ms. Noriko couldn't help but ask.

Akina Nakamori didn't try to hide anything from this, and casually said, "Ah, I've moved back to my apartment for the time being. From now on, when Ms. Noriko comes to pick me up, please come here, okay? Don't go to the wrong place."

"Oh, is that so?" Ms. Noriko was quite surprised to hear what Nakamori Akina said. What did it mean that she had moved back in?

Even Akina Yoshizawa couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Did Akina-chan and Kimura-san have some kind of conflict? Why did they move back in?"

It's understandable that Akiyuki Yoshizawa would think this way. Usually, couples would separate when they have a fight. Although Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina had a very good relationship before, and Kimura Hiroshi was even preparing to propose, outsiders rarely know the details of a relationship. Only the parties involved probably know the specifics. Just like Matsuda Seiko and Go Hiromi, they said they were going to get married, but in the end, it was a breakup party, and they said goodbye for good.

"Could it be that Akina-chan, like Seiko-chan, is about to get married but suddenly wants to break up? Should we hold a breakup meeting?" Akio Yoshizawa thought to herself. However, she needed to find out what negative impact a breakup meeting would have. If the harm was too great, it would be better to handle it quietly. After all, Kimura Hiroshi's status was not ordinary, and he was not comparable to Go Hiromi.

Knowing that Akiyuki Yoshizawa and Ms. Noriko might have misunderstood, Nakamori Akina quickly explained, "We didn't have any conflicts, we're fine. The reason we're living separately for a while is because I've found out something, which is why I've had less work lately. I think Mr. Akiyuki and Ms. Noriko probably know this better than I do. Humph, you two kept it from me, how awful."

Hiroshi Kimura had already told her that he had discussed the proposal with his agency beforehand, which was why the agency had reduced the workload assigned to her. In addition, she had been vaguely sensing changes in the attitudes of Akiyuki Yoshizawa and Ms. Noriko towards her recently, so she was certain that her manager and assistant knew about this matter.

And they were so tight-lipped, they really didn't reveal a single piece of information to her. It was really infuriating. She thought she considered them friends, but she didn't expect them to actually treat her like a celebrity. They were very professional and didn't say a word.

"Ah, Kimura-san already told you, didn't you say it was at the end of the year? Why did you reveal it now?" Ms. Noriko couldn't hold back and blurted out everything. After realizing what she had said, she quickly covered her mouth to avoid saying anything she shouldn't have.

After glaring at Ms. Noriko, Akiyuki Yoshizawa turned to Nakamori Akina and said, "It seems that Kimura-san couldn't hold back and told you, Akina-chan. But since you already know, why are you still living separately from Kimura-san? Did you reject his marriage proposal?"

"Dream on. I would never refuse. If I did, who knows how many women would be eager to date him? I know of several. I would never do such a thing. I have already agreed to be with him. Although there was no proposal ceremony, it is precisely because I agreed to be with him that we are now living apart."

Speaking of this, Nakamori Akina gritted her teeth. Her boyfriend was good in every way, but he was too attractive to women. She didn't know how many women were eyeing him. He was also quite lecherous. If she rejected him, he would probably just let himself go completely, and who knew what would happen. So she definitely couldn't refuse him.

"Sigh, since Akina-chan didn't refuse, why are we living separately?" Akio Yoshizawa was a little confused. Since the proposal was considered an acceptance, their relationship should be even better, so why are they living separately?

Akina Nakamori really didn't know how to explain this, and she didn't want to reveal too much, so she just pretended to be mysterious and said, "Mr. Akio doesn't understand, does he? This is the lifestyle of us young people. Okay, let's hurry up and get going, otherwise we'll miss the filming and delay our work. Hurry up, hurry up, Ms. Noriko, drive quickly."

This kind of lifestyle among young people was something that Akiyuki Yoshizawa had never seen before. He looked suspiciously at Ms. Noriko beside him, as if hoping to get some information from her. However, Ms. Noriko just hurriedly avoided his gaze, then started the car and drove to the magazine's shooting location.

When she's in a good mood, Akina Nakamori is incredibly motivated at work, gets things done very quickly, and always greets everyone with a smile. Her infectious energy on set is extraordinary. Working in this atmosphere makes everyone highly efficient, and even their mood improves, so the filming progresses very quickly.

The filming, which was originally scheduled to last until 4 or 5 p.m., ended around 3 p.m. Afterwards, Akina Nakamori and Yoshizawa Akiyuki went to Fuji Television to prepare for the live broadcast of the night HIT program.

On the car, despite having been busy for several hours, Nakamori Akina was still in a good mood, humming a song and looking at a magazine. Akira Yoshizawa turned around and saw that it was a magazine about wedding dresses. Clearly, Nakamori Akina's mind was already on getting married.

Unable to help but shake his head, Akira knew that Akina Nakamori was completely under Hiroshi Kimura's control. There was no need for any proposal or other preparations; as long as he said it, Akina would agree without hesitation. Now, she was already looking at wedding dresses after only knowing about the marriage, which really pained him.

Although he was her manager, he had worked with Akina Nakamori for many years. He had been by her side since she entered the entertainment industry, helping her gradually become the top celebrity she is today. However, Akina Nakamori didn't care about this hard-earned status and could easily discard it, only thinking about getting married to someone else as soon as possible. You can imagine how she felt.

Upon arriving at Fuji Television, Akina Nakamori headed backstage. Now a senior figure in the industry, she was greeted by everyone she met along the way, and Akina naturally responded with a smile.

When she arrived backstage, she saw several familiar faces, such as the band Checkers, as well as Yoko Minamino and Shizuka Kudo, whom she wasn't very close to. She first chatted with her old friends for a while, then greeted her seniors and acquaintances, and then did a rehearsal.

During rehearsals, the production crew told her that there would be a segment in the evening's show where they would use a computer to calculate future partners, and that she would be the main person involved. They hoped she wouldn't mind.

Nakamori Akina naturally agreed. She knew why the production team chose her—because of her popularity and her boyfriend. If the computer chose her, it would generate a lot of buzz. If it chose her current boyfriend, it would mean they were destined for each other. The computer was right. If it chose someone else, it would also create some buzz. In short, she would benefit either way.

Backstage, after putting on makeup, the show started live on time. The first performance was by Shizuka Kudo, who has been gaining momentum since last year. Her popularity has been even better this year, making her one of the two hottest female idols this year, alongside WINK. Of course, her popularity is still not as high as that of Akina Nakamori and Hiro Kimura.

After the opening performance, it was time for the so-called computer-based compatibility test. Night HIT used to often have these strange segments. There was even a segment where they would call lucky viewers who sent letters to the show and give them gifts. You could say they really racked their brains for ratings.

"I've heard that it's very popular to use computers to predict marriage compatibility these days. So today, our program team has brought in the most advanced computer on the market. Next, we'll try out the marriage compatibility test and see how accurate it is. Now, please welcome our first guest, Ms. Akina Nakamori."

The host, Iori Furudate, shouted in an exaggerated manner, which caused a commotion among the guests on stage, especially Ikuya Fujii, who shouted particularly loudly, seemingly thinking that there was going to be a good show. The other guests were also very curious, even though they knew the program schedule in advance. They didn't know who the computer would actually identify, so they were genuinely curious.

Amidst the uproar, Nakamori Akina was pushed forward. Furutachi Iorirou, holding the microphone, deliberately asked, "Akina-chan, do you hope the computer will calculate who your future partner will be today?"

Another round of cheers erupted. Everyone knew who Nakamori Akina's boyfriend was, but Nakamori Akina was quite cautious at this moment. Although she was smiling happily on the outside, she said, "I don't know either. I don't think we can take this calculation seriously."

"Oh, is that so? Then let's have the computer do the calculations." With Iori Furudate's call, a computer and a large screen appeared on one side of the studio. Iori Furudate led the guests to the computer, while another host was already sitting in front of it.

He said, "Computer-based compatibility tests also require some information. So, please tell me your thoughts, Akina-chan, and then the computer will perform the test, okay?"

Although Akina Nakamori didn't believe the computer could calculate anything, she was actually quite curious. Moreover, she had only learned yesterday that Hiroshi Kimura was going to propose to her, and she felt a strange sense of anticipation. Therefore, she was unusually not averse to this kind of program that might involve her privacy. Instead, she smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."

As the screen lit up, several questions were quickly displayed, the first being, "If you were going abroad, when choosing a taxi, would you choose a white, red, or yellow one?"

“Red!” Akina Nakamori answered quite decisively.

But this was just the beginning. Then a lot of problems that weren't really related to relationships started to appear, and then the first batch of candidates appeared on the screen. Nakamori Akina saw photos of several male celebrities, one of which was Kimura Hiroshi, who wasn't even there.

This made the laughter even louder, and even Akina Nakamori was a little surprised, not expecting that Hiroshi Kimura would be among the first batch of people selected.

Then came two more questions, such as what kind of person you would choose in a relationship, and then the correct answers began to appear, until finally only one person's photo remained.

As the question skipped over, a photo of a person appeared above. It was a photo of Kimura Hiroshi from one of his previous appearances at Night HIT. The final result calculated by the computer was actually Kimura Hiroshi.

This caused the laughter in the studio to truly erupt, with everyone bursting into laughter. No one expected that the computer would ultimately calculate the answer as Hiroshi Kimura, leading some to suspect that the production team had deliberately pre-arranged the outcome.

Even Nakamori Akina was stunned. She hadn't been informed by the production team beforehand that this would be the result. Did the computer think that she and her Hiroki were destined to be together in the future?

"Wow, I didn't expect this result. Doesn't it perfectly match Akina's expectations?" Iori Furudate was surprised by the result, but as the host, he was very capable and immediately stepped forward to ask Akina Nakamori for her thoughts.

First, she couldn't help but chuckle, then Nakamori Akina said, "Yes, it's exactly what I expected. Then please come to the Shinagawa Prince Hotel at 3 PM tomorrow to await our good news."

After saying that, she laughed again. The Prince Hotel is a place that many celebrities choose to announce their marriage. Nakamori Akina wondered if she would announce her marriage at the Prince Hotel, and when. At this moment, Nakamori Akina realized that Kimura Hiroshi did not seem to have told her when he proposed, when he would announce the marriage, or when they would get married.

I was too excited and happy last night, and I even had some intimate moments with Kimura Hiroshi, which caused me to miss asking her about many important things. This really won't do; I have to find out the answers.

Chapter 565 Conflict of Interests

"The people from Fuji Television have arrived at the company. So quickly?" Early in the morning, Hiroshi Kimura arrived at Hegemony, and before he even got to his office, Kayo Sato came in to tell him that the people from Fuji Television had arrived.

Although there's a concert tonight, I still need to handle some company business this morning, and I won't head to the venue until the afternoon for final preparations.

"Yes, President, they are already waiting in the conference room. However, Mr. Miyauchi said that they are only here to discuss the preparation of the new drama series and do not want to finalize the cooperation today. The formal signing of the contract will be postponed for a few days." Sato Kayo briefly explained the situation.

The people from Fuji Television came to Wit Studio for no other reason than to discuss Hiroshi Kimura's new drama series, "Tokyo Love Story." A couple of days ago, Wit Studio had informed Fuji Television about the new drama series they were preparing, and the response was swift, indicating their agreement to name the new drama series "Tokyo Love Story."

Clearly, some people at Fuji Television had read the pure love manga "Tokyo Love Story" published by Wit Studio and knew how popular it was among young people. So when they learned that Wit Studio's new drama was going to adapt the manga, they agreed without much hesitation.

However, Fuji Television also stated that it hopes to deepen its cooperation with Wit Studio regarding the new drama series. Of course, the cooperation will be discussed with Wit Studio in advance. Now that Fuji Television's representatives have arrived, the speed is quite fast, which also shows the importance that Fuji Television attaches to Wit Studio's new drama series.

There was no way around it; the ratings for the previous "Long Vacation" were just too explosive. Not only did it revitalize Sonoko Kawai's career, but it also made newcomer Masaharu Fukuyama instantly famous while he was filming another drama on TBS. Therefore, Fuji Television had to take it seriously and wanted to gain more benefits from the new drama.

Kimura Hiroshi was well aware of this, and stroked his chin, saying, "Since you've come in such a hurry, let's go see what these guys from Fuji Television are up to."

With Sato Kayo in tow, the two arrived at the conference room and saw Matsumoto Takaaki entertaining people from Fuji Television. Upon seeing Kimura Hiroshi enter, both Matsumoto Takaaki and the Fuji Television staff stood up to greet him.

Hiroshi Kimura's status in the entertainment industry is extraordinary. Even TV station staff have to give him some respect and dare not act too arrogantly in front of him.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, we got down to business. After all, we were there to discuss some matters, and everyone was busy, so there wasn't much time for idle chatter.

"Does Miyauchi mean that he wants a new director from Fuji Television to direct the new drama series, and that he wants two important new roles in the new drama series?" Kimura Hiroshi did not look pleased when he heard Miyauchi Takesetsu's request, because what he asked for was far too much, far exceeding Kimura Hiroshi's expectations.

Knowing that his request was somewhat excessive, Miyauchi Takesetsu quickly said, "Kimura-san, please don't be angry. Of course, if we do this, Fuji Television will benefit greatly, which will damage the interests of Hegemony. So, to make up for it, Fuji Television is willing to provide half of the production costs, and we are willing to provide 85% of the original profit sharing."

In other words, Fuji Television contributed half of the drama's production costs, and received the director, two important actors, and an additional 15% of the profits. This seemed like a decent collaboration, but Hiroshi Kimura knew that Fuji Television wanted to use his powerful company to cultivate its own people.

Kimura Hiroshi gently tapped the table, but did not agree. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We want 90% of the production cost, and the actors for the important roles must be provided to me. I need to see if they are suitable before I will use them. As for the director, you can have him."

The reason he didn't directly refuse was because Hiroshi Kimura knew that the TV station couldn't possibly allow the hit dramas produced by Witness Studio to cultivate artists who were related to Witness Studio. In addition to increasing ratings, a very important function of TV dramas is to cultivate artists and quickly make a newcomer popular.

The TV station also has a great need in this regard, so Kimura Hiroshi made some concessions, which is conducive to their longer-term cooperation. Of course, he also wants to get enough benefits, especially since the ratings of the dramas produced by Witness Studio are so high, he wants to gain more profits for himself.

Regarding Kimura Hiroshi's request, Miyauchi Takesetsu discussed it with a few people around him for a while before replying, "We can provide 60% of the production costs, but the profits will still be 85%. As for the actors, we can provide the cast list to Wit Studio. Kimura-san, is this acceptable?"

After a moment's thought, Hiroshi Kimura nodded and said, "Alright, that's settled then. You can have the second female lead and the second male lead in this 'Tokyo Love Story'."

With the male and female leads already confirmed as Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori, releasing two extremely important roles as the second female and male leads would be very generous. Takeshi Miyauchi was naturally overjoyed and said, "Ah, thank you, Kimura-san, for offering us such important roles. We are so happy. We have prepared the information of the actors participating in the new drama. Please take a look."

The actor information was all prepared; they were clearly well-prepared. Kimura Hiroshi couldn't help but chuckle softly as he took the actor information provided by Miyauchi Takesetsu. He glanced at it casually. He wasn't very familiar with the actresses, but he recognized the actor—it was Eguchi Yosuke, whom he had recently expressed envy and jealousy towards. Good heavens, he was actually going to be filming a TV series with him.
