Why does the good husband not forget the past of being bullied by the evil woman after marriage?

Hiroki Shimizu clenched his five fingers into a fist and stared at Mina Sakai.

If he doesn't hear a reasonable explanation next, even if he has a good first impression of the girl in front of him, it will be shattered in an instant.

"Sakai-san should know that I'm the son of the now-deceased Shimizu family? Then it's not surprising that you know my mother's name, but why did you suddenly bring this up..."

"Aunt Qingshui is a very gentle and beautiful woman. Her features are at least 70% similar to those of Qingshui, so I recognized you at first sight."

"I've never heard my mother mention Sakai." Shimizu Hiroki shook his head.

"That's why I said Aunt Qingshui is a very gentle person. She didn't want you, Qingshui, to suffer the fate of being controlled by others and unable to follow your heart to make choices, so she wanted to hide this matter."

Mina Sakai paused for a few seconds, as if she was embarrassed to tell Shimizu Hiroki what she was about to tell him. The blush on her face had not yet faded, and she was unusually shy.

"In fact... the Shimizu family and the Sakai family once arranged a marriage between Shimizu-san and me on the pretext of being friends. In other words, I, Sakai Mina, should be considered Shimizu-san's... fiancée."

"..."

Hiroki Shimizu seemed to be nailed to the spot. He seemed to remain silent with a calm expression, but his mind was brainstorming frantically.

Such a development was simply too nonsensical. If it weren't for Mina Sakai's serious look that didn't seem like she was joking, he would really have thought that the other party was worried that he was too depressed and gloomy, so she made such a completely unfunny joke to tease him.

"You still don't believe me, Shimizu-san? I would never lie to you about something like this."

Mina Sakai also seemed to become serious. She looked at the boy who was already on the edge of trust, and then she took out the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"As a token of trust, this was given to me by your mother, Shimizu Iori. Shimizu-san, you can take a look to see if I am lying."

Hiroki Shimizu squinted his eyes and looked at the pair of exquisitely crafted pendant earrings in Mina Sakai's hands. His pupils dilated, as if he saw a deceased person reappear in front of him.

Instead of feeling scared, he gained a warm and familiar feeling from it. The memories that he had been trying to bury deep in his memory for the past two years came flooding back like a tide.

"Mother……"

Hiroki Shimizu's mind suddenly lost control. With a trembling voice, he took the pair of earrings from Mina Sakai.

"The changes in Qingshui's family, and the death of Aunt Qingshui... I'm very sorry, please accept my condolences."

Mina Sakai slightly bent her slender white neck, her black curled eyelashes trembled, and drops of wet water gathered.

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Hiroki Shimizu came back to his senses. He greedily caressed the pair of earrings that seemed to retain the scent of his mother. Finally, he gritted his teeth and returned them to Mina Sakai.

"Do you still have the other pair of earrings, Shimizu-san?"

"I kept it at home."

Those were the few relics left by his mother. How could he not keep them well?

Shimizu Iori specifically reminded that when Shimizu Hiroki meets the woman who makes his heart beat fast, falls in love at first sight, and makes up his mind to marry her.

This pair of earrings was left as a wedding gift for the woman.

Hiroki Shimizu kept these words in mind and vowed to fulfill his mother's wishes.

Mina Sakai saw with her own eyes that the boy's gaze towards her was changing little by little, and the only remaining bit of ice that had left him wary was completely melted.

Her soul was ecstatic, but her beautiful, perfect body looked sad and mournful.

"In that case, Shimizu-san, are you going to refuse my help again and again? Our relationship now is more than just that of classmates..."

Hiroki Shimizu took two steps back. He couldn't use such a ridiculous thing to entangle and kidnap Mina Sakai. Now they were no longer in a relationship of equal status and mutual interests as before.

To him, Mina Sakai is now more like an unattainable flower on the mountain top.

He took a deep breath and exhaled, with a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Sakai-san doesn't need to constrain himself to do something for me because of this. The Shimizu family is already a thing of the past, so there's no need to keep the promises and vows made in the past."

"You misunderstood me."

Mina Sakai shook her head, her eyes were clear and her tone was sincere.

"This engagement was never the reason why I wanted to get close to Qingshui-san. It was because Aunt Qingshui was really worried about her own flesh and blood before she died, so she quietly asked me to take care of Qingshui-san after she passed away."

"Really? Mother really told you this?"

"I said I would not tell a single lie about this matter and deceive Qingshui-san's feelings."

Mina Sakai walked slowly forward and pushed Hiroki Shimizu into the corner little by little.

"Besides me, who else can help Shimizu-san out of this predicament?"

"I am the only one Yuki can trust now."

The girl's bright and beautiful peach blossom eyes were indulged in infinite tenderness, and her seemingly calm and gentle gaze concealed a restless desire for aggression and possessiveness.

She had longed for him, and hadn't seen him for many years, but everything about Shimizu Hiroki was still as unforgettable as if engraved in her bones, like the surging blood boiling in her veins.

For so many years, she could only look up at him, and in the girl's secret and unspeakable dreams, talk to him like she did today.

Mina Sakai stood on tiptoe and held Shimizu Hiroki's cheek with her trembling hands.

She clearly felt that the boy, who originally had long legs and a straight back, had to bend down in order to follow her.

That's great. That's great.

He really fell, and was completely broken and his dignity was shattered.

Thinking of this, Mina Sakai smiled again, with a bit of worldly gloating.

Yuuki, I'm sorry, just fall down like this and never...get up again.

71. The shadow on Shimizu Yuki's face

The empty and scattered consciousness suddenly returned, and the picture in Shimizu Hiroki's eyes slowly overlapped with the woman in front of him. The facial features of the young and tender girl in his memory gradually matured, tending to become charming and seductive, and then she transformed into a decisive, arrogant and cold female minister in front of everyone.

The change before and after is like two different people, except for those beautiful, bright, soft and tender peach blossom eyes which are still infinitely gentle and can disarm people.

"Section Chief Shimizu, why are you shivering? Are you feeling cold? Do you want me to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner?"

Mina Sakai, who was sitting at the other end of the desk, tilted her head slightly, frowned, and looked serious yet vaguely confused and concerned. Her acting was natural.

Her upper body was dressed in a well-cut women's suit, which outlined her tight and superior body curves very well. Under the table, a pair of slender legs tightly wrapped in thin and transparent stockings were crossed, and high heels were hooked from her nimble toes. Her beautiful black feet always inadvertently rubbed against the man's sturdy and powerful calves through his trousers, making a "rustling" friction sound.

"It's okay, let's talk about business." Shimizu Yuki laughed twice, a few drops of sweat oozing from his forehead. He wanted to move his legs away calmly, but accidentally bumped into the other person's ankle.

Mina Sakai screamed "Ouch" in pain and glanced at Shimizu Hiroki with resentment. She also saw the man's anger and fear of not being able to speak out when he needed her help.

She put on her high heels very quickly, and stopped taking advantage of the opportunity.

"I'm sorry, Section Chief Shimizu. I was more casual when I was alone in the office, and I didn't treat you as an outsider, so I was a little unrestrained. I don't think I got your clothes dirty, right?"

Shimizu Hiroki shook his head seemingly calmly, but he felt a chill in his heart.

Even through the layer of trouser fabric, his skin still felt sticky and wet, as if a wet, soft snake had wrapped around his legs.

He had no choice but to close his legs properly, leaving a distance that even the woman's long, straight legs could not reach.

"That's right. After all, Section Chief Shimizu has such a virtuous and considerate wife at home, so he doesn't have to worry about housework." Seeing Shimizu Hiroki's little gesture, Mina Sakai just smiled and agreed.

Did this woman take the wrong medicine today? In the past, even when discussing work in the company, she would call him by his name directly and intimately in private, but today, she kept calling him Section Chief Qingshui. The two of them, who had an unspeakable past, seemed to have suddenly become ordinary colleagues.

This also made Shimizu Hiroki feel a little embarrassed to speak. He felt the half-smile in the woman's gaze, and the pressure and humiliation in his heart were doubling.

He cleared his throat, prepared himself mentally, and spoke humbly.

"I have already asked you to take care of Mieko's problem, and now I'm asking you again... this is the second thing I can do. But I really can't come up with another sum of money, and my wife's health has suddenly changed again... I really can't put it off any longer, and after thinking it over... you're the only one who can help me."

Can you do this just for that woman?

Beneath Mina Sakai's seemingly indifferent disguise, there is endless jealousy like the deep ocean.

Just a woman? Why? Is this cautious and compromising man really the Shimizu Hiroki she knew? !

She hated it so much that her teeth itched. The unique weapon that was sealed by the buttons of her suit put up a fierce resistance, and the amplitude of the trembling was jaw-dropping.

"Is it like this again? It seems that Section Chief Shimizu has encountered something he can't solve and has fallen into a terrible and desperate situation?"

Mina Sakai spoke indifferently, "But I have some doubts. In what capacity did Section Chief Shimizu ask me for this?"

"This is just our private matter and certainly has nothing to do with work."

"In that case, Yuuki, Yuuki? Can I call Section Chief Shimizu like that? Will it still annoy you?"

The woman called out Shimizu Hiroki's name over and over again. She was very satisfied with his performance. Great pleasure and comfort spread throughout her body. She couldn't help but sigh.

"This isn't a coincidence, is it? Yuuki always comes to me when he's at his wit's end, and I happen to be by your side. Even after seven years, history repeats itself. I think it must be fate that keeps Yuuki from leaving me."

"Whatever you think, just consider it as our friendship as former classmates and help me this time."

He ignored Mina Sakai's unfounded fantasies, tried to lower his posture, and was prepared to pay some price.

As long as it's not too excessive... nothing else matters in the face of Erika's physical safety.

At the same time, Hiroki Shimizu was also hoping for a lucky break. He did not expect Mina Sakai to really turn from black to white, just as she kept saying.

The reason why she came back was simply because she couldn't forget the man she loved and missed him too much.

Even though seven years have passed and the once handsome young man has become a married man, I still want to take one more look at him. Even if I can only hide in a dark corner and watch him silently, I will be satisfied and will never have any more wishful thinking... or desire more.

This twisted, crazy, yet extremely humble promise made in front of him with tears in his eyes, it is impossible that even the punctuation marks are fake and it is a complete lie to him, right?

After all, as a witness, Mina Sakai could have used despicable means to force him to do something he was unwilling to do, just like that woman Mieko, but she didn't do that. Instead, she took the initiative to help him deal with Mieko and stood on the same camp with him.

Although my abilities are limited, I always fail at critical moments.

But at least the determination to make up for the mistakes he had made was real, and he was not completely hopeless.

It was because of this little expectation that he came alone to find Mina Sakai.

"I understand. After all, Yuki is doing this for his wife. He is truly a good and responsible husband."

Mina Sakai was too lazy to listen any further, so she went straight to the point, "I'm curious, can Yuki really agree to any request?"

"As long as it's not too excessive, I can satisfy you." As soon as he finished speaking, Shimizu Hiroki felt a little scared again and immediately patched up.

"After spending some time together, I at least think Mina is really trying to make up for her mistakes and will sincerely repent, and I am also changing my opinion of you little by little.

But if you are actually the same as that disgusting woman Mieko, there is no difference. It is true that I cannot reject you, but I will also be completely disappointed and will no longer have any expectations or fantasies about you. "

Haha... Mina Sakai sneered in her heart and saw through Shimizu Yuki's trick at a glance.

But it is undeniable that she really buys into this, and this is the most essential difference between her and that old woman, Arisu Mieko.

Mina Sakai smiled without saying anything. She leaned over most of the desk. She lifted up the long black hair that was scattered on her shoulders, and the rich, fragrant scent of roses wafted to her face, as if it was going to penetrate into her body through her pores and pull at her nerves.

Yuki Shimizu's grip on the armrest of the office chair gradually increased, causing a harsh squeaky sound.

"I know Yuki doesn't want to betray his wife, but if he doesn't go in, it won't count, right?" She deliberately blew a breath of fragrance into the man's ear.

Shimizu Hiroki understood the other party's implication immediately, but what could he do? If he continued to bargain and annoyed the woman, he might be asked to do something even more unbearable.

It is true that his body was defiled by the coercion of that woman Mieko, but this is not a reason for him to give up on himself, indulge himself, and betray Erika again and again!

The man took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and slowly opened his eyes again.

The glaring light above his head had long since disappeared without a trace. The pair of magnificent objects that took up most of the table and were as soft and chewy as jelly instantly occupied his field of vision, casting a large, deep, dark shadow over the man's handsome face.

72. The strange smell in the office

After sorting out a stack of new project materials, Cheng Pingchang felt relieved. He slumped in his office chair and stretched lazily without any image. He shouted out loud because he was too comfortable, which attracted the cold eyes of several female colleagues.

But when the corner of his eye swept across the tightly closed door of the minister's office, he suddenly became dejected, wailing and covering his face with his hands.

Cheng Pingchangyi quickly set his sights on his office colleagues and asked tentatively, "Um... does anyone want to submit documents to Minister Sakai? Why not be so kind as to give me one? I have something urgent to do later, and I'm afraid I won't have enough time."

As soon as the words fell, an awkward silence fell in the office. Even the colleagues who were whispering to each other just now immediately sat up straight, glanced around, and clicked the mouse randomly with their hands.

"Hey, if anyone is willing to go to Minister Sakai's office for me, I'll treat him to a big dinner after get off work!" Cheng Pingchang raised the stakes and promised, patting his chest.

"It's better not to do that, Shirohei. Minister Sakai was furious because of this kind of behavior last time, and she specifically stipulated that any task she personally issues must be delivered to her in person by the person concerned." A female colleague reminded.

"It's not a very important document. There's no need to make such a big deal about it. Besides, I think Minister Sakai is in a good mood today. He might have already forgotten what he said."

"I think you are too timid. Are you afraid to go to the office alone and face Director Sakai?"

"Giant One, although Minister Sakai is usually very cold and serious, and always gives people a feeling of being superior and difficult to get along with, haven't you noticed that Shirohei seems to have a special problem with Minister Sakai. Every time he mentions Minister Sakai, he looks uncomfortable all over."

"How could that be!? Please don't slander me! Are you kidding me? I'm a man from Pingchang, how could I be afraid of a mere woman?"

Cheng Ping Changyi's face suddenly turned red and he looked embarrassed, but he would never admit that he felt an inexplicable fear when he first saw Mina Sakai, a cold and beautiful woman who looked serious and decisive. It left an indelible shadow in his heart.

Even though this woman had an extremely beautiful and stunning face, a peerless beauty that any man would never forget after seeing her at first sight, he still subconsciously wanted to stay away from her. This was almost a survival instinct that was triggered when humans were on the verge of death.
