Chapter 194

　After Miyuki stood up and left, Ryoko Arishima did not follow immediately, but slowed down, seemingly waiting for Yu Mukai to ask her to stay.

　　A struggle flashed across Yu Mukai’s face, and his mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to speak.

　　Anyone who sees the person who secretly loves them being taken away by another man will feel a sense of crisis.

　　It felt like something of theirs had been stolen.

　　Seeing this, Shirakawa Natsu quickly winked at Kang Eunhye.

　　His intention wasn’t really to give the two of them a push so that the lovers could be together forever.

　　Instead, he creates conflict between the two, which gives him the opportunity to intervene.

　　If he were to actually try to keep Ryoko Arishima and confess his feelings now because of what he saw in Miyuki, it would be a case of overdoing it.

　　Jiang Enhui had been watching the show while the situation remained unclear.

　　Now that her brother was about to take the person away, and everything depended on this, she pretended to change the position of her feet, and her high heels under the table accidentally kicked the plastic table.

　　The drink cup, which she had deliberately placed on the edge of the table, shook violently and spilled directly onto her long, black-stockinged legs.

　　The drink flowed down her black stockings, instantly soaking them, and dripped onto her high heels before falling to the ground.

　　”Ah!” Jiang Enhui exclaimed in surprise, her expression panicked, and she moved her body backward.

　　Her exclamation immediately caught Yu Mukai’s attention.

　　Yu Mukai instinctively turned his head and saw that her black stockings were covered in drinks, and he was still holding the tissue she had just handed him.

　　My first reaction was to reach out and wipe it for her, but after my hand touched her long legs in black stockings, I realized that it wasn’t appropriate to wipe a woman’s black stockings.

　　Ryoko Arishima witnessed this scene. Unable to get any help from him, she gave Yu Mukai a deep look, then abruptly turned and walked towards Miyuki.

　　After Ryoko Arishima turned around, Kang Eunhye didn’t let Yu Mukai touch her leg. She subtly took the tissue from his hand, her face bearing a businesslike smile: “Thank you.”

　　After saying that, she used a tissue to wipe the drink off her stockings.

　　Yu Mukai then hurriedly turned around and saw that Ryoko Arishima, who was waiting for his answer, had already left with Miyuki.

　　Shirakawa Natsumi’s mouth twitched. Goodness, none of them are easy to deal with.

　　The placement of the drinks was quite subtle; Jiang Enhui had prepared a backup plan from the beginning, just in case.

　　Are all mature women these days so calculating?

　　Shirakawa Natsumi began to wonder why so many of her predecessors who were transmigrators encountered so-called business queens.

　　They’re all naive and innocent, falling head over heels in love with the protagonist over the smallest things. Maybe they’re just pretending, but who knows what they’re really up to behind the scenes, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense intellectually.

　　”You’re welcome.” Xiang Jingyu smiled awkwardly. When he reached out the napkin, he touched Jiang Enhui’s stockings through the napkin. Jiang Enhui did not resist. This was the first time he had touched Jiang Enhui, and he couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

　　This somewhat lessened the disappointment of Ryoko Arishima’s departure.

　　Jiang Enhui gave him a polite smile. Unlike her wild demeanor in the nightclub, she was dressed in a proper women’s suit and was a cold and aloof business queen who kept her distance from all men.

　　”Excuse me.” Jiang Enhui nodded to the two of them, got up and walked towards the restroom.

　　Shirakawa Natsumi pursed his lips. He finally understood. Jiang Enhui and Mukai Yu maintained a special rhythm, making Mukai Yu feel that Jiang Enhui needed him and would rely on him, but the physical distance was well controlled, and their hands never touched.

　　A high-achieving female business elite who can only rely on herself—this is a feeling that no man can resist.

　　Unfortunately, he didn’t know that the noble Jiang Enhui in his eyes would skillfully perform oral sex in the nightclub restroom.

　　The simps and goddesses are too real.

　　Only Shirakawa Natsumi and Mukai Yu remained on the scene. They looked at each other, unable to find a topic to talk about, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

　　The two were originally friends, but Shirakawa Natsu fell for Mukai Yu’s idol, Aunt Maki, and her friends and his ambiguous partner left alone. She also became friends with his new idol, Kang Eun-hye.

　　The atmosphere became quite subtle.

　　“He’s really fast,” Shirakawa Natsu said suddenly as she picked up her drink.

　　”Huh?” Yuichi Mukai was still embarrassed by being alone with him and didn’t come to his senses for a moment. He looked at Natsumi Shirakawa strangely.

　　Shirakawa Natsu smiled and pointed to the distance where Miyuki and Arishima Ryoko were. I don’t know what the two of them were talking about, but Arishima Ryoko no longer had the resentment she had just felt. The two of them were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious: “He can act very quickly. It’s common for him to sleep with a woman he just met on the same day.”

　　As they were talking, Ryoko Arishima and Miyuki accidentally touched hands, their faces showing a hint of shyness.

　　Shirakawa Natsu raised an eyebrow; he knew that Arishima Ryoko had deliberately shown this to Mukai Yu.

　　Yu Mukai looked hesitant and fidgeted.

　　“These kinds of playboys always easily attract the attention of ladies.” Shirakawa Natsu smiled at him. “Although that guy is my friend, I still think Ms. Arishima Ryoko and Mr. Mukai Yu are a better match.”

　　Yu Mukai looked at Natsumi Shirakawa with a complicated expression, nodded, and stood up.

　　The sound of high heels clicking behind her came from behind. Jiang Enhui walked over, frowned, and asked Jing Yu, “Xiang Jing, is something wrong?”

　　”Huh?” Xiang Jingyu was taken aback. He turned around and saw Jiang Enhui. She had taken off her black stockings, revealing a pair of fair and long legs that were particularly eye-catching under the tight-fitting top. Wearing high heels without stockings gave her an indescribable sexiness.

　　He had just mustered the courage to go find Mukai Yu, but after Jiang Enhui appeared, he immediately became hesitant.

　　”Take a look at this.” Jiang Enhui seemed oblivious to his complicated expression as she picked up a file folder from the table and handed it to Xiang Jingyu.

　　Yu Mukai took the file bag and had no choice but to sit back down.

　　Shirakawa Natsumi smiled. From his seat, he could see Kang Eunhye walking over and making arrangements with Mukai Yu at the perfect time.

　　Ryoko Arishima had been keeping an eye on Yu Mukai, and she deliberately stood in a position where Yu Mukai could see her.

　　After seeing Jiang Enhui appear, he stopped looking at her.

　　Disappointment flashed in his eyes.

　　Miyuki smiled and said, “Sorry, it seems we couldn’t push him towards you.”

　　Ryoko Arishima’s eyes were slightly red, and she forced a smile, saying, “It’s okay, it has nothing to do with you. Thank you, and thank you, Natsu.”

　　“Let’s go take a look over there,” Mikoto said, pointing in another direction. “I think you need a quiet place.”

　　“Okay.” Ryoko Arishima nodded and left with Miyuki.

　　From Arishima Ryoko’s perspective, she has already given Mukai Yu many opportunities, and now she needs a corner where no one can see her to lick her wounds.

　　Seeing the two disappear from sight, Yu Mukai wanted to put down the file bag in his hand and chase after them.

　　”This is an invitation to the Tokyo Professional Photography Awards,” Kang Eun-hye said after sitting down. “I hope you can participate.”

　　Yu Mukai was stunned, looking at the file bag in disbelief. He opened the file bag with trembling hands and looked up at Jiang Enhui.

　　He clearly knew the value of this invitation.

　　”It’s just because you’ve helped me a lot lately.” Jiang Enhui’s proud expression was perfectly executed: “I hope you can do what you really want to do.”

　　A look of emotion flashed in Yu Mukai’s eyes, compared to Ryoko Arishima who left with the other handsome men.

　　Kang Eun-hye, mature, steady, and supportive of his career, is like an angel.

　　Holding the documents in his hand, Yu Mukai hesitated for a long time before shaking his head: “I’m sorry, I can’t participate in the competition right now. I’m a police officer, not a photographer.”

　　”Hmm.” Jiang Enhui nodded and didn’t try to persuade him any further: “Then you should think it over carefully, both for yourself and for your photography career.”
