Chapter 203 Misaki in the Bathroom
"I'm so full..."
The night breeze swept through, causing ripples to dance across the river. People walking along the shore were enjoying the rare quiet and leisure of adult society.
After work, nothing beat a drink of Shaojiu; it was the perfect end to a fulfilling day.
In the world of adults, only Du Kang could relieve fatigue.
The petite figure walking on the street patted her slightly bulging belly, revealing an utterly satisfied expression.
"Eat till you're full, grow nice and plump, that's what life's all about!"
"Meow!"
Her blond hair fashioned into twin ponytails swished through the air, and her cute, fair face with her clear, bright eyes always gave off an aura of carefree innocence and romance.
"Ugh, don't touch my head, it'll stunt my growth!"
Alright, even the mascot, little Misaki, expressed her dissatisfaction when someone tousled her hair, and her normally joyful eyes took on a look of grievance,
"From childhood to this day, no one has dared to touch Lady Misaki's head. Haruka Yuzan, you're the first!"
Hearing the little girl's words, Haruka Yuzan laughed even louder, "Hahaha, then I'm truly honored!"
Then, he went even further, vigorously ruffling her hair.
"Hmm!! Haruka Yuzan, I'm going to give you a piece of my mind!!"
Misaki Saki shouted, ready to wave her tiny fists and pounce on him in protest.
However... it was all in vain. With just one hand, Haruka Yuzan held her at bay by her little head, and she couldn't even touch him.
The colorful neon lights on the streets cast their glow over the group's figures. Arisugawa Hoshina stood aside, looking at the two who were horsing around with a hint of envy in her eyes.
To live a life carefree and untroubled was truly enviable... Of course, she certainly wasn't envious of their playful banter with Haruka.
Who would envy that?!
"By the way, Haruka, I've cleaned up the whole shop today. When should we choose for the café's opening if it starts business?"
The evening breeze lifted the strands of hair beside madam's ears, uncovering her enticing cheeks. Her gentle eyes looked towards the bustling and lively streets,
"If we decide on a date, then we'll need to recruit waitstaff... "
This leisurely stroll home after dinner made Reiko Onodera's mood brighten as well.
If she could just bring Rika and her mother to live together in Tokyo now, her life would be complete.
With people who love her and those she loves at her side, if life could just carry on like this, she wouldn't even yearn to bring her relationship with Haruka out in the open.
As long as... as long as she could be by Haruka's side when he needed her, that was enough... Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
She was someone who found satisfaction easily, treasuring the hard-won life with great care.
Madam murmured softly to herself, and Haruka Yuzan, hearing this, released the hand he had against the little one's head,
Without a second thought, his gaze shifted to the pretty young girl standing to the side, her half-sleeves and jeans accentuating her youthful figure into a perfect curve.
Her eyes, like autumn waters, held a subtle hint of enjoyment, and without even speaking, Chiba-san, just by standing there, exuded an air of peaceful times.
"I've already posted the job advertisement online. I screened a few candidates the other day, and from tomorrow, they'll come for interviews at the villa. We can make a decision together after school... "
Chiba Shimizu spoke calmly, having arranged everything perfectly.
"Right, I'll leave it all to you, Chiba-san!" Haruka Yuzan nodded in satisfaction, feeling even more convinced that hiring this young secretary had been a wise decision!
Reiko Onodera also looked at the girl with a touch of envy and then couldn't help but say softly, "Shimizu, thank you for your hard work."
If only she could help Haruka like Shimizu did.
Madam never complained about having too much to do; she just feared being of no use.
"It's a team effort, Sister Reiko," Chiba Shimizu replied quietly, her beautiful eyes twinkling with a touch of contentment and joy.
For such a pretty girl to be so gracious, Haruka Yuzan found it quite surprising.
Cold as she was, to say something so impassioned about working together, it really moved him!
But on further reflection, it seemed that in the villa, Chiba-san reserved that icy demeanor only for matters concerning him...
Indeed, his journey ahead would require much more of his educational "stick"!
"Then, during the interviews for the waitstaff, I must be one of the judges!"
A young and crisp voice rose from the side. Hearing the others' exchange, the little one cheerfully raised both her hands!
"You? One would think we're just fooling around here, getting a kid to conduct interviews!"
"You! Haruka Yuzan, you're actually attacking me personally!!"
The water at the riverside reflected the shadows of the group by the bridge, their laughter and playful sounds adding beauty to the still night.
....
"Hmm, didn't we agree to let me rest today? Why are you here again?"
Inside the villa, at the end of the corridor, in the bedroom with the large bed.
The tender and young figure stretched her little head out of the covers, a strand of hair sticking to her rosy lips, blush creeping onto her cheeks, her mouth opening and closing as she took in deep breaths of fresh air, having just tired herself out.
