Chapter 85
The Wandering Dragon Returns to the Sea
"The four reviews have all failed. Let's revise these two chapters in advance, so that the new ones don't cause problems after the old ones are fixed. Let's keep a low profile."
After eating for a while, Akiyama Rinko and Nanao Akane returned to the sofa to watch TV without any hesitation, leaving only Hinata Gen and Katase Miu at the dining table.
I don't know where Hinata Gen came from, but he insisted on having a couple of drinks with Katase Miu.
Katase Miu couldn't resist Hinata Gen's invitation, and since she had originally invited him to dinner with the intention of seducing him, she ended up drinking with him.
As the top salesperson for luxury cars, Katase Miu was quite confident in her drinking skills. However, to her utter surprise, even though she was already feeling dizzy, Hinata Gen was still in a state of near-intoxication.
Realizing she couldn't drink anymore, Katase Miu quickly pushed away the bottle that Hinata Gen was offering her; she knew she would get drunk if she drank any more.
But he accidentally knocked the bottle out of Hyuga Gen's hand.
With a "crack".
The sound of shattering immediately startled Katase Miu awake. She realized that she had broken such a valuable bottle of sake, and she quickly looked at Hinata Gen.
Seeing that he didn't seem to blame her, Katase Miu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to persuade him:
"You really can't drink anymore, Hinata-kun. I'll get dizzy if you drink any more, and you're not feeling well right now either."
After hearing this, Hyuga Gen pushed back his chair and slowly walked to her side. He gently lifted Katase Miu's chin, stared into her alluring eyes, and smiled:
"But isn't that exactly what you wanted?"
Upon hearing this, Katase Miu panicked and began to look away.
"What did you say? I have no idea I had any ulterior motives. I just wanted to invite you to dinner."
Hinata Gen naturally didn't believe her. How could she invite someone to dinner right after meeting them? Who would believe that she didn't have some ulterior motive?
A mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"Aunt Katase, aren't you going to tell the truth? It seems you're not drunk yet. Shall I help you remember?"
After saying that, Hinata Gen pulled Katase Miu's hand and replicated what she did at the 4S store.
Due to the effects of alcohol, she was no longer as composed as she had been that morning, which gave Hinata Gen an excuse to tease her.
"Why is the old lady's face so red now? Huh? She looked so confident this morning."
Katase Miu looked at Hyuga Gen in front of her and felt like crying. She was really in a bind.
"Hyuga-kun, you've had too much to drink."
"I didn't drink too much. Who said I did?"
At this moment, Hinata Gen suddenly began to sway, and his eyes became unclear, as if he was very drunk.
Unaware that he was acting, Katase Miu secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and tried again to pull her hand out of Hinata Gen's grasp.
But Hyuga Gen held on tightly and showed no sign of letting go.
This greatly troubled Katase Miu; this couldn't go on, so she quickly called out to the person sitting on the sofa:
"Akane-chan, Akiyama-san, Hinata-kun has drunk too much, could you please help me catch him?"
But when she finished calling out, she realized that Nanao Akane and Akiyama Rinko, who were sitting on the sofa, had both disappeared and she didn't know where they had gone.
This left Katase Miu feeling somewhat desperate, and she had no choice but to help the unconscious Hyuga Gen walk towards her bedroom alone.
Their house is quite small and doesn't have a guest room; there are only two bedrooms that can be lived in. Since they don't have a key to their son's room, they can't get in, so they have to take him to his own bedroom.
After finally getting Hinata Gen back to the bedroom, Katase Miu felt completely drained.
Then, looking at his right hand, which was being tightly gripped by Hyuga Gen, he thought with a hint of despair, "Am I destined to never be able to get my hand out?"
But then the thing she least wanted to see happened. Katase Miu felt Hinata Gen's hand suddenly tighten and she couldn't control herself and fell down.
Immediately afterwards, Katase Miu saw Hinata Gen's ambiguous smile, realizing that he wasn't drunk at all!
"Hinata-kun, let go of me! Akane and the others are still outside, and Sho will be home from school soon too. It won't be good if they see us."
After struggling to sit up for a few moments, Katase Miu could only look at Hinata Gen with pitiful eyes, hoping he would let her go.
"Hinata-kun, I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this."
A slight smile appeared on Hyuga Gen's lips. At this moment, he had a rough idea of Katase Miu's purpose. Could it be because of Akane? So he tentatively asked:
"Oh dear, I was just saying I'd break up with Akane after today. But since you don't want to, then forget it. We'll just keep dating."
Upon hearing this, Katase Miu panicked. How could they give up now that they'd come this far? She quickly said:
"Is Hinata-kun really willing to break up with Akane-chan?"
Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Hyuga Gen said without even blinking:
"Of course, I know you're doing this for Shoya-kun. A gentleman doesn't take what others cherish, so if you're willing..."
Katase Miu was delighted upon hearing this. Although the price paid was somewhat high, the result was good, so she nodded and said:
"Alright then, Hinata-kun, don't go back on your word."
"Of course it won't go back on its word. If it didn't, I wouldn't be human."
"The dragon should return to the sea!"
Akane Nanao and Rinko Akiyama, who had been hiding in the toilet, finally came out.
Akane Nanao looked enviously toward the bedroom. Rinko Akiyama was one thing, but why did Aunt Miu get to be in that position? She was already thirty-five or thirty-six.
"Yuan-kun is such a womanizer."
"Don't speak ill of Hyuga-sama."
Rinko Akiyama's expression darkened upon hearing Akane Nanao's mutterings. Did this woman not recognize her place?
She has no abilities, only a body, and it's unclear what Hyuga-sama wants from her.
Seeing Rinko Akiyama's displeasure, Akane Nanao wasn't afraid. Instead, she glanced at her and said:
"This isn't saying anything bad about Yuan-jun. I don't care how many women Yuan-jun has, hmph!"
After saying that, he turned away and ignored Akiyama Rinko.
If Katase Miu knew about Hinata Gen's behavior and Nanao Akane's indifference, I wonder if she would regret her decision today.
However, now that he has tasted it, there is no room for regret; Gen Hyuga's abilities are truly formidable.
After an afternoon passed, Nanao Akane, who was almost asleep, checked the time and realized that it was almost time for Katase Sho to get home. She immediately opened the bedroom door and went in, not wanting to run into that guy in the living room.
Akane's sudden intrusion startled Katase Miu, who said in a flustered manner:
"Akane, Akane-chan, what brings you in?"
After saying that, Katase Miu suddenly realized something was wrong. Wasn't she the one who approached Hinata Gen for this very moment?
Why are you suddenly backing down? Now is the perfect opportunity.
So Katase Miu made up her mind, and her expression changed. She started saying all sorts of things she had learned from movies, hoping to make Nanao Akane and Hinata Gen break up.
To her surprise, Nanao Akane showed no displeasure whatsoever; instead, she appeared eager to try.
