My new wife discovered my past.

Otherwise, Nao Yanagihara could have just brought Mayumi Kurita, but why did she have to add Saki Takeshita as an empty background?

There is naturally a profound meaning behind this by Nao Yanagihara.

Nao Yanagihara knows Mayumi Kurita very well. On the surface, she looks like a gentle, tough, upright girl who is extremely patient and attentive to her friends. In fact, Nao Yanagihara can see that Mayumi Kurita is the same type of person as herself.

Otherwise they wouldn't have become best friends in junior high school.

With just a little effort, Nao Yanagihara found Mayumi Kurita's weak spot.

Mayumi Kurita is also an egoist, or most people are. She thinks highly of herself, but she just hides it very well.

A small portion of the unimportant interests can be divided away without hesitation, but once it comes to the most important and favorite things of one, he will not let others get involved.

Even if she had to take a step back, she would rather eat the same piece of meat with her opponents and enemies, but would never allow her closest people to have a share.

For example...Mayumi Kurita's love and possession of Tetsuya Watanabe.

In the past, Nao Yanagihara was her best and closest friend, but now there is someone else!

Nao Yanagihara's eyes fell on Takeshita Sakumi, who lowered her head and silently wiped her glasses, and her sneer was full of confidence in the future.

She was looking forward to seeing this pair of good friends become enemies.

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Nao Yanagihara retracted her smile, and Sakumi Takeshita slowly put on her glasses. They saw Mayumi Kurita, who had wilted like a withered flower.

He hurriedly helped her sit down, patted her back with concern, and asked her what happened.

She couldn't help but say it, and couldn't tell it all truthfully. Kurita Mayumi sobbed and told the most crucial part of the story:

"Teacher Watanabe wanted me to go back to Tokyo tonight, but I refused..."

Takeshita Sakura patted Kurita Mayumi's back silently, her eyes were unfocused and she no longer had the heart to ask any more questions.

Because at least in Mayumi's description, Mr. Watanabe only asked for her opinion.

As for whether he actually existed or not, Takeshita Sakura had no way of knowing.

However, Takeshita Sakiku firmly believed and concluded that Mr. Watanabe, who always remembered her name and greeted her at the shoe cabinet in the morning, would never deliberately ignore her existence!

When Nao Yanagihara heard Mayumi Kurita's brief description, she smiled disdainfully in her heart. She knew this would be the case.

Gently patting her former best friend on the shoulder, Yanagihara Nao said, "There's no need to be sad, Mayumi...

“I have to say, you made a very correct choice!

"Mayumi will know tomorrow..."

◆

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Watanabe looked up at the sky for a while, then felt bored and left.

On the way, I happened to meet Noriko and Saotome who were also coming back from a walk.

Saotome held Noriko's arm, and they snuggled together. Their eyes were red, as if they had just cried.

Watanabe Toru's head was full of question marks.

"Why are you crying?" Watanabe held Noriko's other hand, which was warm and smooth, like a piece of mutton-fat jade that had been nurtured for a long time.

With no hands free to wipe the tears from her eyes, Kiko blinked and pouted slightly to Watanabe to express her protest, and received the caress she deserved. Watanabe wiped the tears and tear marks from Kiko's face.

Saotome Hazuki did not receive such good treatment. Her fox eyes were filled with resentment that she had no place to vent, so she could only wipe away the overflowing water herself.

Without the tears that were getting in the way, Noriko explained, "Just now, while we were taking a walk, Ms. Saotome told me that there was an urgent job at the family business that needed her to do as soon as possible.

"She's leaving the shrine tonight and won't be back for two or three days."

At this point, Noriko turned back to Saotome and asked, "When can Hazuki-chan come back at the earliest?"

"Ah? The soonest? Probably around this time the night after tomorrow."

"It's just such a small matter... It's just that Ye Yue suddenly had to leave for something, and I was a little caught off guard and couldn't accept it. My emotions may have fluctuated a little bit all of a sudden, and I couldn't hold back my tears, which made Ye Yue cry with me..."

Watanabe didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only lie to himself and say, "Maybe the relationship between you women is like this, you are more sensitive and have a strong ability to empathize."

Toru Watanabe couldn't help but complain in his heart, and he specially helped his best friend to share the burden. His empathy ability is really strong.

Watanabe naturally knew why Saotome had to leave on the pretext of something urgent. His purpose was to dispel Kiko's suspicion so that he could attend the "two days and one night" "Watanabe Paradise" Season 5 carnival party tomorrow.

But what Watanabe didn't expect was that Saotome didn't say it until now!

He suddenly felt overwhelmed because Watanabe Toru also planned to use a similar reason to stay up late and work all night tomorrow night.

Now that things have come to this, and since he has heard everything, there is no other good way. Watanabe simply goes all out and bites the bullet and says to Noriko:

"What a coincidence... The hotel development is on a tight deadline, so I'll probably have to work overtime tomorrow and supervise the project site all night to ensure it's completed on time and in full.

"But the good news is that the Jiugong Group has given me half a day off tomorrow morning, and I have to go back to work in the afternoon.

"But there is also bad news, which is that I have to work until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow and then I can take a day off."

Watanabe didn't play any boring game with Noriko like "There is good news and bad news, which one should I hear first?"

His blunt words made Noriko nod slightly, and her expression suddenly became lame: "Ah? Tetsuya-kun is also busy with work...

"Does this mean I'll be alone tomorrow night?"

Realizing that this was most likely an ironclad fact that could not be changed, Jiko did not act coquettishly towards any of them, begging them to stay with her, but instead digested everything silently by herself.

Inadvertently, or perhaps because they were in sync, Watanabe and Saotome looked at each other and saw reluctance and entanglement in each other's eyes.

The eye contact was only for a moment. Watanabe, who was quietly holding Noriko's hand and wanted to take her home, heard his wife's doubts before he even moved.

Noriko realized it belatedly, and she didn't want her husband Watanabe and best friend Saotome to worry about her and delay their work. She didn't want them to think she was a giant baby, so she joked:

"Toru-kun has to go to work tomorrow, and Hazuki-chan is also rushing there because of an urgent matter at the family business...

“Is the work you are doing… the same thing?

"I remember hearing from Tetsuya-kun that this hotel seems to have a stake in Hazuki-chan's Crescent Moon Group, right?"

When this question was uttered, Watanabe and Saotome were really sweating profusely.

Fortunately, it was at the shrine at night, and the gentle evening breeze dried up the cold sweat the moment it appeared.

Watanabe Tetsuya nodded and admitted: "The Crescent Moon Group did participate in the investment, but the proportion was very small, less than 10%."

Saotome Hazuki also shook her head and denied it, saying, "Teacher Watanabe is right, but this is not my job. The Crescent Moon Group runs so many businesses, and this hotel doesn't need me to take action.

"And with Mr. Watanabe and the elites of the Jiugong Group here, the hotel project is progressing smoothly without any difficulties. It's just that the employees who are working on the front lines are suffering."

Saotome Hazuki meant something.

Ji Zi nodded and listened while going back with them. Obviously, she didn't care about this matter. She just hoped: "I hope you can come back soon to accompany me... I'm very bored alone..."

After confirming that what Jiko just said was just a joke out of curiosity, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Kiko's loneliness and staying alone in her empty room...

Saotome Hazuki was helpless, and she also felt an indescribable sense of self-blame squeezing her entire chest, making her feel so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe...

Compared to Saotome's helplessness, Watanabe seems to be much more at ease.

As Kiko's husband and the person who loves her the most, how could Watanabe not have considered this issue?

Watanabe Tetsu also made preparations early, and arranged for a girl to accompany Noriko the next two days when he was not with her...

Back in the Japanese-style room, Watanabe and Noriko washed up and went to bed.

While blow-drying Noriko's hair, Watanabe told her the result of his failed attempt to persuade Kurita to leave the shrine tonight. He had made some deletions and modifications to the process.

"Our teacher Watanabe is so charming that he can even attract female students to follow him...

"Nonsense, this is considered stalking by a nympho, right? She actually found out our current private location, it's a bit too scary..."

"Kiko, please stop making fun of me." Watanabe forced a wry smile.

"Tetsuya-kun, tell me the truth. Was this the reason you resigned from Yugao High School? Also, in April, when you were driving, you suddenly wanted to tell me something, but you didn't say it... Was it also because of these female students?"

The resignation of Watanabe Tetsuya in the beginning is understandable, but the hesitation in the driving scene later on...? ?

Watanabe thought about it in his mind, and then it suddenly dawned on him that this was indeed the case.

And when such a perfect reason came to him, how could Watanabe refuse it? He would never let it go. He immediately agreed:

"That is indeed a big part of the reason, but in fact, whether it is Sakuraba-san, Kurita-san, or Takeshita-san, they are actually quite nice. They still respect me as a teacher very much, and they would not dare to have a relationship beyond teacher-student relationship with me by any means...

"Except for that Yanagihara Nao-san.

"She is of noble birth and has a strong family background. In order to prevent any trouble, I decided to stay away from her. I didn't expect that she would chase me..."

Toru Watanabe sighed and brought Nao Yanagihara out to take the blame.

After hearing the relatively complete account, Noriko hugged her husband distressedly and comforted Watanabe.

“That’s all in the past. Now that Tetsuya-kun has resigned, we rarely see her anymore, right?

"Besides, Tetsuya-kun has returned to the shrine now. He has a backer. We also have Miss Saotome on our side. She is the eldest daughter of the Crescent Moon Group. With her help, I think even if Miss Yanagihara is lawless, she will not force herself to do anything..."

"Well, it's all right, as long as Jiko is fine, that's enough.

"Don't be afraid, Jizi, I won't leave, I will always be by your side..."

In the end, it was Toru Watanabe who comforted Noriko Shimizu...

At nine o'clock the next morning, Nao Yanagihara woke up sneezing again and again.

I don’t know if it was because today was her first time attending the “Watanabe Paradise” carnival party, but she was so excited that she fell asleep very late last night. She also seemed to have caught a cold from the air-conditioning. She kept sneezing and slept very uneasily.

Nao Yanagihara vaguely saw her dark circles under her eyes in the mirror.

In order to avoid being too sleepy today and failing to perform well and not being able to enjoy the experience, Nao Yanagihara drank a large cup of coffee to stay awake.

After finishing brunch, Nao Yanagihara began to put on makeup in advance. She wanted to dress up exquisitely and beautifully and must not embarrass herself in front of those women!

I learned from Jiu Gongying that the party officially started at 4 pm. At that time, they would go to the beach with Watanabe Tetsuya to swim, play volleyball and sunbathe...

But the party actually started privately at one o'clock earlier. After all, how can you go to the beach without applying sunscreen?

And the person who should be the one to apply sunscreen is definitely Toru Watanabe.

But who puts on sunscreen for a full three hours?

The process of applying sunscreen will naturally include endless mini-games and appetizers that inspire endless imagination!

Nao Yanagihara, who knew the internal plan, was drooling just thinking about it. She hadn't tasted Watanabe Tetsuya properly for nearly a month...

This time, she is definitely going to enjoy a delicious feast!
