You naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Toyokawa Sadaharu's words.

[He wants to recruit a son-in-law for his family, but you are too outstanding. The Toyokawa family is afraid that they will not be able to control you. They are even more afraid that your ability is higher than Toyokawa Shoko's, which may cause backlash in the future.]

【"What do you think?" Toyokawa Sadaharu turned to look at you. 】

You looked at the two of them awkwardly. You knew your current target was Yutenji Wakami, so you said politely, "Mr. Toyokawa, I think we're still young and not at the stage of talking about marriage..."

"That's true... but relationships can be cultivated slowly... you can spend more time with Xiangzi." Toyokawa Sadaharu didn't deliberately interfere with the relationship between the two juniors.

"Yes, I will." Suzuki nodded. He and Toyokawa Shoko were already friends, so they often communicated with each other. More contact would also benefit their business cooperation, so of course he wouldn't refuse.

After the brief meeting, you left the Toyokawa family's residence and returned to your villa.

【And Toyokawa Shoko continued to stay in the backyard with her grandfather. 】

"Xiangzi, do you really like him?" Toyokawa Sadaharu asked.

【“Yeah.” Toyokawa Shoko nodded.】

[The reason she said she liked Suzuki Jie was to prevent her family from introducing her to other young men, and also to get closer to Suzuki Jie.]

Toyokawa Sadaharu smiled and then said slowly, "Then Xiangzi, you still need to keep working hard..."

【“I will.” Toyokawa Shoko nodded seriously. 】

After leaving Toyokawa's house, you found Yutenji Wakami. The two of you took a walk by the lake, and Yutenji Wakami heard about Toyokawa Shoko from you.

"Has Shoko actually succeeded the Toyokawa family as head?" Yutenji Wakami's eyes widened. When Mujica disbanded, she had thought Shoko Toyokawa was just the daughter of a scoundrel in the Toyokawa family... but she had never expected Shoko Toyokawa to have grown into such a powerful figure now...

Her sense of inferiority grew even stronger. She recalled the times she and Toyokawa Shoko argued. Back then, she often retorted to him, "You're just a young lady who knows nothing." But now, Toyokawa Shoko has become the head of the Toyokawa family, and she is still just surviving under his protection.

Although she has now achieved a certain status in Suzuki's company with her own abilities, she still feels that she is not worthy of you.

Even if she knows that your attitude towards her is not normal, she will always deliberately avoid you.

【...】

After succeeding the throne as head of the family, Toyokawa Shoko worked diligently to improve the family's traditions. Under her care, the entire Toyokawa family was in good order and prospered.

"As expected of Xiangzi." Suzuki couldn't help but praise his future wife...

What? You're saying Xiangzi isn't his wife yet?

It’s okay, sooner or later!

You continued to run your company, which also thrived abroad. You became a leader among the younger generation of entrepreneurs, and countless daughters of wealthy families flirted with you, but you never wavered.

You still maintain a very close relationship with Yutenji Wakamugi.

[Until one day, Toyokawa Shoko sent you a message hoping to have the Toyokawa family and your company cooperate, and you gladly agreed to Toyokawa Shoko's proposal.]

[Toyokawa Shoko came to your company headquarters under the guise of a visit. To make Toyokawa Shoko feel at home, you specifically invited Yutenji Wakumai along.]

Toyokawa Shoko was slightly surprised when she saw Yutenji Wakami standing next to you. "I didn't expect Wakami to be in your company."

She felt somewhat happy the moment she saw Yutenji Wakamugi. After all, they were old acquaintances. Although there had been some unpleasantness in the past, that had long since faded with time.

"Ruomai is one of the backbones of our company," you said with a faint smile.

"Wakamai is really amazing..." Toyokawa Shoko thought from the bottom of her heart.

Although Yutenji Wakamugi knew that Toyokawa Shoko's words were not malicious, she still felt a sense of irony.

After calming down, Yutenji Wakamugi, still smiling, follows you around and shows Toyokawa Shoko around the company's products and production lines.

【But when Yuuji Wakamu followed you and Xiangzi, he discovered a shocking secret. 】

[That is, Toyokawa Shoko always looks at you with very eager eyes...]

[She subconsciously guessed that Toyokawa Shoko had special feelings for you...]

After a long while, you and Toyokawa Shoko went out for dinner, and this visit was finally over.

As you walked down the street, Yutenji Wakamugi smiled and said to you, "Suke, you and Shoko really seem like a good match. One is the head of the Toyokawa family, and the other is a big entrepreneur. If you two were together, it would be a powerful combination!"

You just smiled and ignored her joke.

【But you never expected that she was serious. 】

Your indifference made her feel somewhat bewildered, and she could only smile bitterly to herself.

【...】

Later, as your cooperation with the Toyokawa family deepened, Toyokawa Shoko would always use various excuses to contact you, and your relationship soon returned to the Mujica period.

【Toyokawa Shoko always knows your travel time and takes advantage of your free time to ask you out.】

"Wait...this isn't right?"

Suzukisuke widened his eyes slightly.

Since he has become the big boss in this simulation, he should be very busy. And as the head of the Toyokawa family, Shoko Toyokawa should also have a lot of things to take care of. How is it that she always comes to me when they are free?

"Could it be that... Toyokawa Shoko arranged a spy?!"

Suzuki Jie was sweating profusely.

Xiangzi, you are so insidious!

You quickly noticed something suspicious, but you didn't take it too seriously because you believed Toyokawa Shoko wouldn't do anything to harm you.

[But you have no idea that the person who told Toyokawa Shoko about your itinerary is none other than your simulated capture target—Yutenji Wakami!]

"Ah?!" Suzuki Jie was stunned.

"Baby, why are you rebelling? You're leaking military intelligence!"

He had thought that since he fought so well, he would definitely get good results or even clear the level with one life, but he never expected that the person who hindered him was actually his target.

"Aren't you making the game more difficult for me?"

[After Yutenji Wakamugi knew that Toyokawa Shoko liked you, she thought that Toyokawa Shoko was obviously more suitable for you than you, and that you would definitely be happier with Toyokawa Shoko.]

So, she took the initiative to send a message to Toyokawa Shoko, hoping to help Toyokawa Shoko capture you.

"Okay, okay, let's play it this way, eh?" Suzuki Jie couldn't hold it in anymore.

Apparently, Yutenji Wakami's actions were very effective. Toyokawa Shoko's extremely superior appearance and personality made you unable to help but feel moved when you were with her.

[But you haven't forgotten your goal, so you try to control your emotions.]

【You will feel guilty while being attracted to Toyokawa Shoko. 】

[Until Toyokawa Shoko's birthday, she privately invited you and Yutenji Wakami out.]

【On this day, Toyokawa Shoko dressed like a normal beautiful girl. 】

You stood between the two girls, and the three of you chatted and laughed beside the brightly lit lake.

[In the middle of the conversation, Yutenji Wakamu suddenly had a stomachache and went to the restroom.]

【You and Toyokawa Shoko are the only ones left by the lake.】

"No, Teacher Big Cat, you just ran away like that?!"

"Cowardly Lizard!"

Suzuki Jie severely criticized Yutenji Wakami for such cowardly behavior!

[Beside the lake reflecting the colorful lights, you can almost see another world immersed in the water.]

It is a dreamlike, ethereal world, a world that will disappear with the disturbance of the water waves and reappear before you.

【Toyokawa Shoko leaned on the railing by the lake and turned her head slightly to look at you.】

Her face is tinged with warm tones, giving you a special sense of tranquility.

Perhaps it was because it was night, or perhaps because the lighting was too dim, but you couldn't clearly see the delicate blush on Toyokawa Shoko's face.

[Toyokawa Shoko was extremely embarrassed, and she could only feel her heartbeat quickening...]

[As the head of the Toyokawa family, she naturally understood one thing: hesitation would lead to defeat!]

【She knows, she will attack you as soon as possible. 】

[With your wealth, countless young and beautiful girls are waiting to climb into your bed.]

So Toyokawa Shoko got bolder and looked at you and said with a smile, "Jie, have you prepared a birthday present for me?"

[When you knew that today was Toyokawa Shoko's birthday, you had already prepared a gift for her. You smiled and nodded, then took out a delicate little box from your pocket.]

"You open it." You look at Xiangzi with a smile.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded happily and opened the box. Inside was a crystal necklace made of azure blue. Even in the dim light, the crystal still reflected a brilliant light. It was a crystal that was extremely clear and translucent.

"I think this would look great on Shoko." For people like you and Toyokawa Shoko, the price of a gift is completely irrelevant; the only gift that comes from a sincere heart is the best.

Although this necklace is not cheap for most people, it is very suitable for Toyokawa Shoko.

[Toyokawa Shoko put on the necklace and took a picture of herself with her phone's front camera.]

The beautiful crystal necklace hung snugly on Toyokawa Shoko's slender and elegant neck, as if it had always belonged to her.

She was very pleased with your gift. She smiled and hugged your arm, saying, "Thank you!"

Although she was delighted, her expression calmed down the next moment. She said, "Although this necklace is indeed beautiful, I am not satisfied yet..."

"Hmph...woman!" Suzukisuke blinked disdainfully.

I didn’t expect Xiangzi to be so inconsistent in his words and deeds. Why don’t you return the necklace to me before you say you don’t like it?

You know this is just Toyokawa Shoko putting on an act, so you ask with a smile, "So what does Shoko need me to give him to satisfy him?"

Toyokawa Shoko snorted and said, "You definitely can't give me what I want."

"What is that?" you ask.

"Since you can't deliver it, it's useless even if I know." Toyokawa Shoko kept silent.

【Toyokawa Shoko's secrecy actually makes you more interested. 】

The more she doesn't tell you, the more you want to know.

"If Xiangzi doesn't let me tell you, how can I know whether I can deliver it or not?" you ask.

"If what I want can be given to me easily, will you give it to me or not?" Toyokawa Shoko looked at you with a smile, her index finger gently tapping the fence by the lake, making a crisp sound.

"Of course, given our relationship, I'll give you anything as long as it's not expensive enough to cause me any trouble." You patted your chest and responded confidently.

"Then I'm telling you, don't regret it~" Toyokawa Shoko covered her mouth and laughed.

You nodded. "A gentleman's word is as good as gold!"

The air suddenly grew quiet. Toyokawa Shoko looked straight into your eyes and slowly uttered one word: "You."

......

......

Volume 320: . Why don’t you look for your own problems when you always target the wrong people?

Suzuki opened his eyes wide and looked at Toyokawa Shoko who was smiling in front of him...

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you could give me anything?" Shoko Toyokawa raised the corners of her mouth and looked cute and lovely.

"Well..." Suzukisuke was embarrassed for a moment: "I mean as long as it doesn't cause me any trouble."

"So what you mean is that being with me will bring you trouble?" Toyokawa Shoko puffed out her cheeks, as if she was no longer the head of the Toyokawa family, but a pretty girl next door.

"Well...it's not that, it's just, isn't this a little too fast?" Suzuki Jie was still a little at a loss.

Toyokawa Shoko stretched her body and said lazily, "I'm just kidding, but... I want you to kiss me... This shouldn't be something that bothers you, right?"

[Toyokawa Shoko wants you to kiss her. You choose...]

"Please... who can refuse a kiss from a beautiful girl like Xiangzi!"

Suzuki believes he can't resist!

【After careful consideration, you decided to agree to Toyokawa Shoko's request! 】

Suzukisuke looked into Toyokawa Shoko's eyes and nodded.

Shoko Toyokawa raised her head slightly and closed her eyes on her own initiative.

From this angle, Suzuki could see the crystal necklace around her neck reflecting dazzling light.
