CHAPTER XXXVIII

Five minutes later, Kiyoshi Uesugi appeared at the restaurant.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa is very unscrupulous... Ran away.

The agent guarding the door clearly told Uesugi Kiyoshi that "the elder brother drove away three minutes ago, and I don't know where he went", and Uesugi Kiyoshi almost sensed the entire building in order to prevent the agent from deceiving people.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa did run away.

"You're in luck! Don't come back if you have the ability! ”

Swearing in his heart like this, imagining how to concoct this culprit when they meet again, Uesugi Kiyoshi still doesn't want Kyoko to wait for a long time, and soon comes to the restaurant to report.

At the long table of Nuoda, there were only two people, him and Apricot.

"What about the others?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked casually.

Apricot looks like she has been well groomed, and she doesn't look like a little cat who cried before.

She timidly replied to Uesugi Kiyoshi: "Sister Maki said that she was going to help Uesugi-kun in the group in Kyoto, so she left first." ”

"Narumi-kun and Shinna-chan said that they hadn't been to Kyoto for a long time, and they wanted to see what Kyoto was like now, so they went out together."

"Rin ate a lot of snacks I made and went back to her room to sleep - do you want me to wake her up?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi waved helplessly.

"No need, let her sleep, now that she wakes up, she has to eat uncontrollably."

After saying that, Uesugi Kiyoshi folded his hands, said "I'm moving", and began to deal with the food in front of him.

He is indeed a little hungry, and lately he has been eating more and more, and he has a tendency to catch up with Rin.

This can also be understood that the "qi" of a swordsman is a combination of physical fitness and spirit, and in terms of physical fitness, eating is the best way to nourish.

Nohara Kyoko also ate in small bites, but from time to time she peeked at the side of Uesugi Kiyoshi's face, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her red and swollen eyes were full of smiles.

She's happy now – because of Kiyoshi Uesugi's promise that "I won't let you go."

Hearing Kiyoshi Uesugi say this herself, and said, "I like apricots too", she was in a mood like a roller coaster at this time, rushing from the trough to the sky.

She doesn't care if Uesugi Kiyoshi is messing around outside.

She just hoped that no matter how late it was, she would be able to watch a table for dinner and wait for him to come home.

This is a lifelong wish.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was a little hairy by the apricots, and he couldn't get angry with Akutagawa just now, and the depression and guilt in his heart haven't disappeared, and now he is looking at the little white rabbit with affection, and he can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Maybe when he looked up, he suddenly froze.

Apricot had already picked off her apron and was wearing a long light green dress that had been washed and was somewhat whitish.

In Uesugi Kiyoshi's memory, this is one of the few skirts that Apricot had.

She doesn't have any decent clothes except for her school uniform.

After coming to him for so long, things came and went, and he didn't even have time to buy some clothes for Apricot.

No...

No matter how much things happen, there is always time.

It's just that he didn't take it to heart.

Uesugi Kiyoyo is a person who does not favor himself, he can clearly recognize his own thoughts, and he will not excuse his mistakes with various reasons.

So...

How much I snubbed apricots.

In my previous life, I accompanied me all my life, and finally went to Huangquan with me.

We met again in this life, and we willingly took care of my food, clothing, and daily life, but I was... Is that how he was treated?

Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't help but speak.

"Apricot, I'll take you shopping tomorrow, right? Just the two of us, how's that? ”

Kyoko Nohara was in a daze, and suddenly heard such a sentence, and looked up in surprise.

"Oh, yes."

Although she said yes, it didn't mean that Kyoko realized what Uesugi Kiyoshi said.

She just won't refuse Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Even if it is a harsh thing, she will answer "yes".

When she finally reacted, her face immediately became a little happy and sweet, and it didn't last long, and she was a little uneasy.

"I'm fine, but doesn't Uesugi-kun have to work?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi took out his phone, looked at the map given to him by Priest Hanyu, and nodded slightly.

"It's okay, it won't delay things."

"I'll choose the location, how about it?"

Kyoko naturally nodded happily - the two of them had a separate date, which was enough to make her fawn ram.

Uesugi Kiyoshi saw Kyoko smiling, and her mood finally calmed down a little.

Anyway, I'm going to go to that area tomorrow to explore, so I'll take the apricots to go shopping and buy some clothes, which is not bad.

Take into account both public and private interests, so as not to make mistakes.

With his current strength, it is easy to protect the apricot, and he has no worries.

...

Dinner is underway for the two of you.

On the other side, on the top floor of the skyscraper, Li Fuyao, dressed in a black dress, walked out of the elevator that stopped.

The corridor was empty in the warm light, and at the end of the corridor, at the door of a somewhat heavy wooden door, stood two bodyguards in suits and leather shoes.

When they saw Li Fuyao, their faces changed, and they bowed.

Li Fuyao ignored them, and just pushed the door in.

The two bodyguards seemed to have a tendency to block, but after a few moments, they still didn't take action.

Some of them didn't dare.

As soon as the door opened, some noisy voices poured out.

The high heels knocked on the wooden floor, and the originally indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth became awe-inspiring.

Like a solemn black lotus, Li Fuyao stepped into the door like this.

In an instant, the surrounding sounds became much quieter.

This is a large conference room, and there are already many people sitting on the side of the long table.

There are old and young, all of them are neat in suits and well-dressed, and they are big names in "high society" at first glance.

There is a peculiarity of the people here.

The surname is Phoenix Temple.

Japan's chaebols are basically family-oriented, and this is the case with the Phoenix family.

Seeing Li Fuyao come in, a young man who was a little fat and had a gloomy face snorted softly.

"So many elders are in the ceremony, and you just came in? Uncle Qizhi's family is becoming more and more ignorant of the rules. ”

The young man raised his voice, and his words were strange and yin.

Li Fuyao didn't even bother to look at him, because in her heart, this person was a dead man.

From the moment he decided to make an example of the monkey and knock on the Collectibles Society, he was a dead man, but it would take two days to bury him.

Of course, that doesn't mean she doesn't fight back.

"I know that this is the meeting hall of the Phoenix Courtyard family, and when I don't know it, I saw this scene, and I thought I had entered the vegetable market."

"Elders, whose family's deliberations are discussed like this, and are there any rules?"

On the main seat of the long table in the conference room, a gray-haired old man was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard Li Fuyao's voice, his eyelids jumped, but he didn't open his eyes.

On the contrary, the people below whispered, and the eyes that looked at Li Fuyao became much more sinister.

Li Fuyao didn't care.

She had only walked a few steps and sat down beside an old man with a clear face and gray hair, who was old but energetic.

She smiled slightly, but there was a faint sense of superiority.

"Alright, we're all here."

"Let's get to the bottom of today's topic."

"Let me see... Elders, what bad ideas can you come up with? ”
