Given her understanding of the Three Kingdoms and her knowledge base, she was far from being able to tell her the stories like Luo Chen.
But you won't tell?
The ambiguous glances exchanged between Yotsuba, Ichika, and the others...
"I have no idea!!"
Nakano Miku stopped abruptly, shouted, covered her ears with her headphones, and rushed forward.
"Miku!"
Nakano Yotsuba exclaimed, scratching her head and muttering in bewilderment, "How on earth did that young master manage to be so infatuated with Miku?"
No one answered her.
Because Ichika Nakano is currently considering something; she has always really wanted to be in a relationship.
She hadn't thought about it before and hadn't realized it, but now that she's thought about it carefully, she's shocked! Luo Chen seems to perfectly match her ideal romantic partner!
Nino Nakano was also pondering a problem, but of course, she wasn't thinking about romance; she was thinking about anxiety! She kept muttering to herself: "That idiot Miku wouldn't actually have feelings for that guy, would she? No! Absolutely not! That guy is a rather scheming and petty man!"
Nakano Satsuki's feelings were quite complicated.
She was the first of the five sisters to know Luo Chen; if you had to trace it back, the two had even met three months ago.
However, it wasn't until the last banquet at the Itoya family's house that they officially met, got to know each other, introduced themselves, and some rather strange things even happened.
Even so, she never misunderstood anything.
But at this moment, when she discovered that Miku had mustered up the courage to ask for Luo Chen's contact information, and then shyly ran away when they pressed her for answers, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis for no reason!
It's as if Luo Chen is about to be snatched away from her by her sisters, so, so...
"Um! I suddenly remembered I haven't finished my homework yet, so I'm going back now. Goodbye!!" Nakano Satsuki suddenly said loudly and ran out quickly.
No! The more I think about it, the stranger it seems!
How could she possibly fall for someone she'd only met a few times, and who already has a girlfriend? Don't be ridiculous!
Even so, she still had to go back and ask Miku, subtly trying to find out if Miku really liked Luo Chen.
If it's not true, that's fine. But if it is... then we'll reveal to Miku that Luo Chen already has a girlfriend!
We can't let Miku really fall in love with Luo Chen and then go astray.
Yes! That's right, she did this absolutely not because she also liked Luo Chen, and therefore was jealous or deliberately trying to make Miku distance herself from Luo Chen...
……
Kyoto fog house.
After the five Nakano sisters left, Luo Chen discussed the future of the Kiriya with Inui Hinako, and also took over the Kyoto Kiriya permanently.
However, the thought that ten years from now, I might have to deal with Kento Itoya because of this, or even fall out with him, is unbearable.
"What a headache."
"Besides, when the Itotani family took over the Kyoto Kiriya, the methods they used weren't exactly honorable, and were even somewhat underhanded. Miss Hinako has also shown an eagerness to completely break away from the Itotani family... Alright, that's settled."
Luo Chen comforted himself in this way to avoid feeling guilty.
"Young Master, if this matter can be successfully completed, I would like to thank you very much. Otherwise, I really don't know how to continue running the Mist House in the future, and I even have the idea of running away in a sorry state."
After signing the last document, Inui Hinako knelt down respectfully on the ground and gave Luo Chen a deep bow.
It's roughly the same posture as a dogeza (a traditional Chinese kneeling gesture).
Luo Chen was speechless. He stepped forward and helped Qian Hinako up, saying with a wry smile, "Miss Hinako, you're too kind. This was something we discussed beforehand, wasn't it?"
After finishing this task, Hinako Inui seemed to breathe a huge sigh of relief. She nodded and smiled, saying, "I just never imagined back then that the plan would actually come true, giving me the opportunity to completely break away from the Itotani family..."
Would you like some persimmon seeds?
Inui Hinako then took out a persimmon seed and handed it to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen: "..."
He probably figured it out too.
Giving people persimmon seeds is a way that Hinako Inui subconsciously expresses her liking and closeness to them.
Remembering that he had refused Inui Hinako many times before, he didn't refuse this time either, accepted it, and ate it.
The taste was not bad, but it didn't quite suit 130's taste. I don't know why Inui Hinako is so fond of this kind of thing.
"delicious."
Luo Chen lied, then stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, the contract is now officially signed. So, Miss Hinako, just go ahead and do what you've planned. I'm going back now; I have a match tomorrow."
"Hi~, I feel bad for bothering you for so long, young master. How about I temporarily close the Kiriya restaurant and go with you to the O-Ichi family to cook for you?" Hinako Inui thought of another way to repay the favor.
"Huh?" Luo Chen was also taken aback by these words and subconsciously wanted to ask if it was really a good idea for a top-tier Kyoto store like Kiriya to close down.
Besides, it would be good to have Hinako Inui go to serve the O-Ichi family, so that Machi and Akina could enjoy top-notch cuisine without leaving the house, right?
“If Miss Hinako doesn’t find it troublesome, I’m fine with it,” Luo Chen said with a shrug.
"It's no trouble at all. Please wait a moment while I call Xiaohui, and we'll pack up and leave right away!"
Hinako Inui looked up, revealing a mature yet adorable smile. She stood up, patted her knees, and ran out, calling out loudly, "Megumi~?!"
Chapter 333 'Forbidden Chess' and 'Forbidden Blood Demon'!
Without a doubt, when Hinako Inui and Megumi Tadokoro checked into the Kōgoi family residence, they were immediately given a warm welcome by Kōgoi Machi and the head of the Kōgoi family.
It's not that Hinako Inui's status was so high that even the dignified head of the Oohan family had to be obsequious and humble in front of her.
Rather, because of the Kyoto Kiriya, Hinako Inui frequently came into contact with many social celebrities and important figures.
To put it bluntly, Hinako Inui is essentially a key figure who controls relationships!
Therefore, the Imperial Kitchen staff were extremely welcoming of Hinako Inui's arrival and treated her with the utmost respect.
Of course, no matter how high the treatment was, the head of the Imperial Household still maintained a sense of propriety and did not allow it to exceed that of Luo Chen.
how to say?
Luo Chen actually quite liked the head of the Imperial Kitchen family, Wan Zhi's father, thinking that he was just like Wan Zhi, with a clever mind.
Since he came to Kyoto, he has never been uninhibited or completely open just because he is Manji's boyfriend and his son-in-law.
Thinking about it carefully, if that were the case, it might seem like we would be closer.
But more likely, it is likely that their lack of tact will cause a rift to quickly develop between the two strangers, and they may even fall out!
In the end, the most difficult task was still providing food for Manchi.
……
into the night.
After their battle lasted until dawn, Luo Chen and Hinatsuru Akina took a bath and then snuggled together. Akina then told Luo Chen about the head of the Yugoi family.
"Hmm." Luo Chen nodded listlessly, then smiled with relief. "Yes, so this way, I can help the Imperial Kitchen family even more unscrupulously."
"Do you think that Wanzhi's sharp mind might have been inherited from her father?" Hinatsuru Akina asked curiously.
"Probably," Luo Chen thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, after the Kyoto Meijin Tournament is over, I must find a good opportunity to thank my father-in-law."
"I must thank you, and also me. The O-Ichi family was a great help in making things go so smoothly in Kyoto, and Miss Machi is also a wonderful girl," Hinatsuru Akina said with a charming smile.
"Speaking of which, you've been busy all day. Has anything been done regarding the expansion?" Luo Chen asked in return.
"I guess so."
Hinatsuru Akina thought for a moment, but didn't seem anxious. She said, "Anyway, it's just a matter of time. Once you win the final victory in the Meijin Tournament and the Oi family officially becomes the number one family, it will all fall into place."
"You really have a lot of faith in me. That was the final victory in the Celebrity Tournament. Not to mention the 8th Dan, there were two participants even at the 9th Dan A level," Luo Chen joked.
"Otherwise what? If you don't even have confidence in the man you like, I'm afraid that man himself won't be happy either, right?" Hinatsuru Akina said gently, with a hint of amusement in her voice.
Luo Chen blinked, both amused and exasperated.
As expected, the lady is still the most shrewd!
Their way of speaking is so sophisticated and nuanced that it's impossible to compete.
"you win."
Luo Chen surrendered and admitted defeat, acknowledging that what Hina Tsurugi said was correct.
A glint of surprise flashed in Hinatsuru Akina's eyes, and she smiled slightly, saying, "Tatsu-kun, so you're quite confident in yourself now?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Luo Chen yawned.
In just a moment, his whole body suddenly trembled violently!
Because, Hinatsuru Akina turned her back, lowered her head, and then...
……
...
The night grew deeper.
However, at this time, some people are soundly asleep, sleeping happily; some are doing something enjoyable; and some are studying something with serious expressions.
