Having just woken up, he was still a little dazed and it took him a while to wake up.

I listened carefully and the "ding dong ding dong" sound was still continuing, but it should be coming from far away.

After changing his clothes, Mitsui Tsubasa walked out of the bedroom.

The moment the door was opened, the ringing became even louder, and its source naturally needed no disclosure.

"Who is coming here so early in the morning... and ringing the doorbell so urgently, is there something wrong?"

With a sudden start, he ran to the door and opened it.

Unexpectedly, standing outside the door was a beautiful girl who seemed both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar to him.

She was wearing a gorgeous kimono; the delicate silk shone with a soft luster in the morning light.

The kimono is embroidered with exquisite patterns, and every detail reveals the charm of traditional Japanese culture.

Mitsui Tsubasa was stunned for a moment. Among the people he knew, only Takemi Myo could rival her in stunning beauty.

The girl looked at him in a daze and smiled gracefully. That smile was like a flower bud about to bloom, and it looked particularly bright in the sunlight.

"Long time no see, Xiaoyi, I'm here to see you..."

Her voice was as sweet as the sound of nature. Before she finished speaking, she opened her arms and boldly hugged me.

It was not until she threw herself into his arms that Mitsui Tsubasa came back to his senses. Feeling the warmth and fragrance in his arms, he felt indescribably complicated.

With his cautious personality, he shouldn't be easily approached at this distance, but the girl in his arms gave him a sense of trust from the bottom of his heart.

It seemed as if even his subconscious was cheering, giving him a real sense of security.

The memories buried in his mind were awakened, and this extremely familiar breath reminded him of someone.

"... Jingliu?"

"Yeah." Jingliu responded softly, lying on his chest without any concealment, taking deep breaths greedily.

The long breath lasted for a long time, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She looked up at him: "I miss you so much..."

After saying that, she closed her eyes, tilted her face up, and made an expression that looked like...asking for a kiss?

Mitsui Tsubasa looked at her movements hesitantly, and couldn't help feeling a little numb.

Isn't this a bit too fast? It feels different from the impression of the "big sister"...

After waiting for a while and not getting the expected response, Jiang Shang Jingliu slowly opened his ruby-like shining eyes: "Why... didn't you like kissing me the most before?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Hearing her words, Mitsui Yi hurriedly shook his head and denied it, "I don't remember anything like that happening!"

"Tsk... Obviously we have. Haven't we been kissing since you were a kid?" She bit her lower lip in dissatisfaction and defended herself.

Mitsui Tsubasa thought about it for a moment and understood what she was talking about. He retorted unhappily, "We generally don't call kissing on the cheek kissing."

"Hmph." Jingliu snorted barely noticeably, and then changed the subject, "I didn't expect that we would meet again, and you're already taller than me. Come on, lower your head, let me hug you."

Hearing her talking in a child-like tone, Mitsui Yi felt indescribably awkward: "I'm 16 years old, don't treat me like a child."

Having said that, when he noticed Jingliu standing on tiptoe and trying to reach up, he softened his heart and bent down slightly.

Then, Jingliu, who had been planning for a long time, kissed her directly...

It was a kiss as hot as lava, full of aggression that wanted to devour him completely.

As soon as they came into contact, she couldn't wait to break through his defenses and entangle with him.

Mitsui Tsubasa widened his eyes, and suddenly had the illusion that he was kissed forcibly.

I always feel like the scripts of both parties seem to be reversed. In the past, he was the one who attacked Miaomiao and Futaba like this...

The passionate kiss lasted for several minutes. Seeing that she was still immersed in it, Mitsui Yi couldn't help but gently push her away and reminded her: "Jingliu, watch your behavior, this is outside!"

After being pushed away, Jiang Shangjingliu gasped deeply, with a fanatical light flashing in her eyes. She suppressed it for a long time before she managed to regain her composure.

"Sorry, I got a little excited. Let's go inside and talk."

She gently picked up the suitcase on the ground, walked into the room with ease, and turned around and waved to him.

Mitsui Tsubasa's mouth twitched and he followed in hesitantly.

Chapter 242: Stillness on the River

The two walked into the living room. Jiang Shangjingliu walked around the room familiarly and commented:

"Your place in Tokyo is pretty good. Although it's much smaller than your hometown, at least no one is always watching over you. Tell the truth, Xiaoyi, did you run away to avoid Shigeki-sama?"

"Nothing like that. I just want to change the environment and relax."

Mitsui Tsubasa shook his head in denial and went to the tea room to make a pot of tea.

After he poured tea for the two of them, Jingliu, who was sitting opposite him, came over with a teacup and sat down next to him.

"We finally meet, why are you so distant?"

As she spoke, she took Mitsui Tsubasa's arm and leaned against him intimately.

Whether it was intentional or accidental, her plump breasts pressed tightly against his arms, bringing an alluring soft touch.

Mitsui Tsubasa's eyes flickered, but he neither accepted nor rejected it, and changed the subject as if he hadn't noticed:

"Jingliu, didn't you say a while ago that you would come in three months? Why are you here so early?"

"You don't even call me Sister Jingliu anymore." She sighed and answered irrelevantly, staring at him infatuatedly with her beautiful eyes, "If I don't come back soon, you'll be snatched away by those confidantes, and maybe in the end you'll even forget who I am..."

Her tone was so resentful that it made Mitsui Tsubasa's scalp tingle and his back begin to itch.

He always felt that Jingliu was in a bad mood. How come the heroic big sister back then became like this when they met this time?

If it weren't for the familiar feeling engraved deep in his soul, he would have suspected that she had been replaced by someone else.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to attack instead of defend, and continued to ask questions: "You are the one who should explain. You disappeared for three years without leaving a word, and you didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye..."

As he spoke, the emotions that had accumulated in his soul before he fully awakened quietly overflowed, making him feel as if his heart was being tightly gripped by something.

There is an extremely complex emotion mixed with joy, resentment, and some anger.

In the heart of my former cowardly self, Jingliu's departure without saying goodbye was also a kind of betrayal...

Sensing the complex emotions in his eyes, Jiang Shang Jingliu was speechless for a moment and could not speak for a long time.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little dull. The two looked at each other in silence, each thinking about their own things.

After a long time, Mitsui Tsubasa saw the mist in Jingliu's eyes, sighed in his heart and took the initiative to speak: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it..."

"No! It's not like that!"

Jiang Shang Jingliu interrupted him eagerly, shook her head quickly, her long black hair fluttering, and explained softly,

"I just...when I think about that incident and my decision at that time, I wish I could travel back in time and strangle my stupid self to death."

"If I hadn't left at the beginning, how could you have been taken advantage of..."

When he heard her say "take advantage of the opportunity", the emotions that had just been brewing in Mitsui Tsubasa's heart suddenly burst out, and his expression almost couldn't hold back.

No matter how you put it, the relationship between him, Miaomiao, Futaba and the others cannot be described with this word...it's almost the same the other way around.

Trying hard to maintain a serious expression, he listened quietly to her story.

"…If it's you, I won't hide anything from you. I swear!"

Jiang Shangjingliu gazed at him affectionately and held his hand against her heart.

She proved her sincerity in this almost confessional way, and then talked about the past event that led to her leaving without saying goodbye.

"Before I left, I had a big fight with the old guy. You should know about this, right?"

Seeing him nod, she continued, "Actually, this is what happened. The other day, the old man suddenly said he wanted to talk to me about... letting me be your concubine in the future."

"Concubine?"

Mitsui Tsubasa raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something.

According to Jingliu's original personality, it would be strange if she didn't explode when she heard such a proposal. The model couple in her mind was his parents - they gave up the originally smooth and beautiful future in pursuit of love, and they were committed to each other's feelings.

He remembered clearly that when Jingliu was a child, he often took him to look forward to the future and imagined a fairy-tale-like pure and beautiful world for the two of them.

If she were to become a concubine, the probability of a direct fight between the two sides would be as high as 99.9%.

Giving him some time to calm down, Jingliu closed his eyes a few times and said, "Yes, I was very angry at that time. I argued with him for a long time and then we had a fight."

"He told me that since you are the eldest son of the Mitsui family, your future wife can only be the eldest daughter of one of the other five major financial groups. I don't have any chance at all..."

"But I really can't accept it. I watched you grow up since you were a child. I... I have liked you since then and I believe that you are the only one in my life. But he said that I can't--!"

In a state of excitement, she clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and her fingertips turned white due to the force.

"Xiao Yi, you know my personality. I am very strong-willed. As long as there is a competition, I want to win! So, at that time, I mistakenly regarded this matter as a competition. I thought that as long as I was strong and outstanding enough, I could become someone worthy of you and be your wife..."

Jiang Shang Jingliu choked up silently when she said this, her long hair drooped slightly, covering her cheeks, making it impossible to see her expression.

Mitsui Tsubasa's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but be moved. The resentment that had accumulated due to misunderstanding quickly dissipated, and he looked at her with some concern.

"This is not your fault, family...Alas, those old antiques only know how to form family alliances and exchange interests, but I am a staunch opponent of this." He comforted her.

Jiang Shang Jingliu was silent for a moment, then shook his head gently and sighed deeply:

“It’s useless… I’ve actually been studying at the Mitsui family’s high-level talent training base over the years, and I’ve learned almost all the courses for housekeepers and personal secretaries.

But the more I learn about the inside story, the more I realize my own shortcomings and limitations. If you don't have some things when you are born, you will never have them in your whole life..."

"So, I give up... Xiaoyi, I'm really sorry, I may... not be able to be your wife..."

Mitsui Tsubasa gently lifted the hair beside her ear and looked at the tears quietly flowing on her beautiful face. The emotions in his heart could not be expressed in words.

He did not try to comfort her, but just hugged her quietly, because he knew that crying was a weak behavior that the "big sister" hated the most.

Sure enough, after venting her emotions in silence, Jiang Shang Jingliu took out a few tissues and quickly wiped away her tears.

Then he threw the wet paper ball into the trash can and said, "Well, all the tears I have accumulated over the past three years have been shed. This kind of weak behavior is not suitable for me!"

"Let me tell you the good news." She raised her head again and smiled confidently. "According to my investigation, marriages between the six major financial groups are actually very unpopular. The two parties in a marriage often have a child together and then live their own lives, maintaining a marriage in name only."

"So, even as a concubine, I have the possibility... No, I firmly believe that I will become your real wife!"

"Now, let's get started..."

Chapter 243: The Birth of Jealousy

"Start with what?"

Mitsui Tsubasa looked at her in confusion as she stood up lightly and took a few steps forward with graceful dance steps.

From his perspective, he could only see Jingliu's graceful back and her gently swaying arms.

Tiny rustling sounds continued to be heard, and he vaguely guessed what she was planning, but he didn't dare to be too sure.

He felt itchy in his heart and couldn't calm down, as if he had been scratched by a cat.

It was just a few minutes, but it felt so long to him.

Finally, Jiang Shang Jingliu completed her preparations for the dance, turned around gorgeously, and faced him again.

The gorgeous kimono slowly slipped off, revealing her perfect curvaceous, flawless body.

Only then did Mitsui Tsubasa realize that Jingliu was really tall. Even when standing barefoot, he was still about 1.75 meters tall.

In addition, long-term exercise has shaped his body into a perfectly fit and healthy one without a trace of fat.

It made his throat roll and his eyes widen.

Jiang Shang Jingliu licked her lips, gave him a charming smile, and then walked towards his bedroom with her slender waist swaying.

Her slender, white hands swayed gracefully, as if silently inviting her beloved dance partner.

Mitsui Tsubasa understood her gesture, and after a brief hesitation, he stood up and followed.

The ancients said, "It is the most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman." At this moment, he deeply understood...
