Chapter 440 The entire bill is paid by Young Master Bei.

Ye Beini looked surprised when she heard Qingzi's invitation; she seemed to hardly believe her ears.

She slightly opened her mouth, her eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation, and then slowly nodded.

“Really? That’s wonderful! I’ve always loved the atmosphere here, and it would be an honor to become a resident singer here.”

Seeing this, Qingzi jumped up happily, hugged Ye Beini tightly, and shouted excitedly:

"That's wonderful! Welcome to the Starlight Tavern, my dear sister!" Her voice was filled with joy and excitement.

Kitahara Shinya stepped forward, extended his hand to shake Ye Beini's hand, and said with a smile:

"Welcome, Miss Ye Beini. Your joining us will surely make the Starry Night Tavern even more lively and exciting."

Ye Beini responded with a smile:

"Thank you, I'm also looking forward to sharing my music with everyone here."

Her voice was full of anticipation and confidence.

"So, let's talk about the specific details, okay?"

Haruko sat down and began to seriously discuss with Ye Beini the work arrangements and treatment of the resident singers.

Ye Beini listened attentively, nodding occasionally in agreement.

She was incredibly excited to be able to perform in this art-filled pub, and also looked forward to the new life that was about to begin.

"I believe your addition will make the Starlight Tavern more lively and vibrant."

Haruko said confidently.

"I believe too."

Ye Beini responded with a smile.

"I will do my best to bring you the best music."

Kitahara Makoto felt an unprecedented sense of liveliness and energy.

Standing behind the bar, I glanced at the bustling customers, each face beaming with joy and anticipation.

The lights shimmered and gleamed in the reflection of the liquor, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of wine and the joy of music.

Kitahara Makoto watched Ye Beini perform with such passion on stage; every note she played seemed to magically captivate everyone present.

A surge of pride and joy welled up within him, as if he could see the bright future of the Starry Night Tavern.

The guests came forward to taste the food, their faces beaming with satisfaction.

"Mr. Kitahara, your tavern is getting better and better!"

A regular customer came up and patted Kitahara Makoto on the shoulder.

"Especially today's surprise, it really opened our eyes on February 2.9th!"

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile:

"Thank you all for your support. The reason our tavern has been able to thrive is entirely due to your word-of-mouth and recommendations. We hope you will continue to visit and support us in the future."

"No problem! With such a great pub and such great music, we'll definitely be a regular customer!"

The guests expressed their agreement and support.

Chapter 441 Mai: When are you coming back?

Her music intertwined with the laughter and applause of the guests, creating a harmonious and beautiful scene.

He was filled with gratitude and joy, and proud to own such a warm and vibrant pub.

Finally, Kitahara Makoto once again thanked the guests:

"Thank you all for coming and supporting us tonight."

"I hope everyone has a wonderful evening here, has fun, and drinks to their heart's content!"

Kitahara Makoto's words echoed in the tavern, like a warm current that instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire space.

The already bustling tavern was now at its most chaotic.

The guests raised their glasses in celebration, their faces beaming with joy and satisfaction.

At the bar, the bartenders quickened their pace, carefully crafting colorful cocktails that filled the air with aroma, attracting customers to come forward and taste them.

Ye Beini on stage seemed to feel this joy as well, her fingers danced more merrily on the guitar strings, and the music became even more passionate and surging.

Every note she played seemed to be a celebration of this special night, a moving prelude to a new chapter for the Starlight Tavern.

In a corner of the tavern, several couples whispered to each other under the soft lighting, their faces beaming with happiness, as if they too were infected by the joyful atmosphere.

Meanwhile, some solo customers sat around the bar, chatting with the bartenders about life and sharing their stories.

The entire tavern was filled with laughter and enthusiastic applause, as if it had turned into a large party.

The lights danced on the walls, the music flowed through the air, and everyone was immersed in this joy and beauty.

Kitahara Makoto stood in the crowd, his gaze sweeping over every corner, his heart filled with gratitude and satisfaction.

He knew that all of this was inseparable from the support and love of the guests, as well as the addition of outstanding employees like Ye Beini.

He firmly believes that as long as everyone works together, the future of Starry Night Tavern will be even brighter and better.

.............

As the phone rang, Kitahara Makoto snapped out of his reverie, lost in the lively atmosphere of the bar.

He quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket, and the screen flashed the name "Sakurajima Mai." A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, Mai."

Kitahara answered the phone, his voice revealing a hint of doting affection.

When are you coming back?

Mai Sakurajima's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiaoyue and I are ready to change and go see a movie."

"Is Xiaoyue coming too?"

Kitahara Makoto felt a warmth in his heart when he thought of that lively and adorable little girl.

"Yes, she's been clamoring to meet you, her big brother."

Mai Sakurajima joked.

613 "Okay, I'll go back now."

Kitahara answered without hesitation that he knew how important his family was to him, and that being able to watch a movie with Mai and Yue was a very happy thing for him.

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Makoto turned and walked towards the bar's front desk. Haruko was busy handling some tasks. Seeing Kitahara Makoto approach, she looked up, smiled, and asked:

"Kitahara, are you leaving?"

"Yes, Haruko."

Kitahara nodded,

“My girlfriend called and said she and Xiaoyue are going to see a movie, so I have to go back and be with them.”

"Oh, I see."

Chapter 442 Xiaoyue looks great in a dress too!

Haruko nodded in understanding.

"Then hurry up and go, don't keep the girl waiting too long."

"Okay, thank you so much for tonight."

Kitahara Makoto said gratefully.

"Ye Beini's arrival has made the tavern more lively, and I believe business will get better and better in the future."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Haruko smiled.

"Take care on your journey, and we'll talk again next time."

"Okay, bye."

After saying goodbye to Haruko, Kitahara Makoto hurriedly left the tavern.

His heart was filled with longing for his family and anticipation for the future. He knew that no matter where he went, a warm home would be waiting for him.

The night was already deep when Kitahara Shin stepped out of the Starlight Tavern, and the streetlights cast a soft glow.

He took a deep breath of the cool night breeze, feeling a sense of refreshment and tranquility.

Not far away, traffic lights flashed red and green in the night, as if keeping time for the city's night.

Kitahara Makoto walked quickly to his car, gently opened the door, and got into the driver's seat.

A faint fragrance filled the car; it was a scented diffuser he had specially chosen, which calmed the mind.

He gently started the car, and soft jazz music played from the car stereo, its melodies adding a touch of comfort to his journey home.

The car slowly drove out of the parking lot and onto the busy street.

At the traffic light, he gently pressed the brake and waited for the signal to proceed.

At that moment, he noticed the pedestrians on the roadside. Some were hurrying along, while others were strolling leisurely, and each person's face was filled with different stories.

He imagined their respective lives, and a strange sense of emotion welled up inside him.

When the green light came on, Kitahara Makoto lightly pressed the accelerator, and the vehicle smoothly drove through the intersection.

His gaze swept over the shops on both sides of the street, their colorful neon lights and the goods displayed in the shop windows.

They are all like the unique language of this city, telling different stories.

He imagined Mai and Xiaoyue excitedly choosing movie tickets and snacks at home, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

The car continued moving forward, and the scenery outside the window was like a flowing painting.

The trees lining the street swayed gently in the night breeze, making a rustling sound.

The distant skyscrapers appear even more majestic and spectacular in the night, as if they were the guardians of the city.

Kitahara Makoto felt the slight jolts from the car's speed, but his heart remained unusually calm.

He knew he was on his way home, to where his loved ones and his warmest haven were.

The jazz music playing from the car stereo continued, its melody seemingly resonating with his mood, bringing him an indescribable sense of peace and contentment.

He nodded gently in rhythm, as if enjoying this rare moment of solitude.

Finally, the car entered the familiar neighborhood, the home where he and Mai lived together.

Kitahara Makoto parked the car steadily downstairs, turned off the headlights, opened the car door, and a fresh night breeze rushed in.

He took a deep breath and felt the warm glow of home beckoning him from not far away.

As he stepped into the stairwell, Kitahara Makoto's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, his heart filled with anticipation and joy (Wang Dehao).

When he reached his front door, he gently turned the key, and the door opened smoothly.

As soon as Kitahara Makoto stepped into the house, he heard Sakurajima Mai and Xiaoyue's cheerful laughter.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mai Sakurajima standing in Xiaoyue's room, with a pile of clothes spread out in front of them, and they were having a heated discussion.

"How about this pink dress? I think it suits Xiaoyue perfectly."

Mai Sakurajima picked up a dress and held it up against Xiaoyue.
