If that's really the case...

Was that a temptation set up by someone from the family? Why would anyone do such a thing... Grandpa, or Chuhua...?

We clearly agreed back then that we wouldn't lay a hand on Feng!

Toyokawa Shoko's face was gloomy, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Junda Mana: "I..."

In front of Toyokawa Shoko, Junda Mana couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Junda Mana bit her lip.

You can't tell the truth.

It will affect Chu Hua.

It will definitely affect Chu Hua.

On one hand, she's the legitimate heiress of the Toyokawa family. Although it's not immediately apparent, in this Toyokawa family-run office, the consequences of displeasing her are...

On the other hand, it is his own siblings, relatives, and close friends, and even his success today is largely thanks to Chu Hua's help.

Junda Mana clenched her teeth.

Thanks to Misaki Hatsuka for taking care of me for so long, even though Hatsuka does have all sorts of flaws, big and small, Junda Mana truly considers Hatsuka a very good friend.

At least...

Don't let a moment of stupidity...

It affected Chu Hua.

"It's me, I'm asking Chu Hua for advice..."

Junda Mana: "I want to ask Hatsuka for advice on how to win over Mr. Kaede..."

"Ugh?"

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this the old man's conspiracy?

"Ah, it's all my fault. Chu Hua clearly has no interest in things like this..."

By the way, she also mentioned Hatsuka. Junda Mana found that she was getting more and more fluent in saying it. Perhaps it was because when people are under great tension, their attention will also be focused, and their adrenaline will surge. At this time, people can often do things that they cannot do on ordinary days.

What's not funny at all is that her acting skills have always been lacking, but this time...

So natural. Junda Mana bit her lip tightly, but her heart didn't slow down; instead, it beat even faster.

In the early hours of the morning, I sang love songs with Narusawa Kaede, and afterwards I told him that idols are people who can't date, but I had to confess my love to Toyokawa Shoko...

Junta Mana isn't like Mitsuka Hatsune; she doesn't feel any pleasure from it, but instead experiences a... strange bitterness.

"Even though I know Mr. Feng has a girlfriend... I still want to convey my feelings. I'm such a terrible person..."

What if Ms. Toyokawa tells Hatsuka the news instead...? Would Hatsuka believe her explanation?

Sumita Mana doesn't know.

Thinking about tomorrow, no, even later, Misaka Hatsuka's face flushed red, and she questioned her.

Junda Mana suddenly felt like crying. Not because she was afraid of being fired, nor because she was worried about being misunderstood, but because she felt like she had betrayed someone she wanted to protect.

My heart was beating so fast that I felt a little dizzy, and my face turned red.

It wasn't blushing, nor was it anger.

Instead, he was simply anxious, so anxious that his vision became somewhat blurred.

Ah, Hatsuka, maybe tomorrow Mana-chan will be fired from the company and blacklisted in the industry as soon as she walks in with her left foot.

I'll treat you to donuts then...

"But... I still don't want to give up like this. So I wanted to ask Miss Xiangzi, do you know anything about Feng?"

After all, idols aren't allowed to date.

Junda Mana felt tears welling up in her eyes, so she quickly lowered her head and twisted her fingers, truly resembling a girl secretly grieving, who had experienced a love affair that ended before it even began.

Junda Mana thought to herself: If being an idol doesn't work out, then I won't be one. What should I do after retiring? How about opening a dessert shop and becoming a little chef? That wouldn't be bad.

If I can't perform on stage anymore...

It's a bit of a shame...

Ugh.

I'm sorry, Chuhua.

If you can still hear me say sorry after this...

Junda Mana took a deep breath, but then Toyokawa Shoko made a move that she had not expected.

The hand, clad in a black silk glove, gently pinched Junta Mana's chin, lifted her head, and slowly raised it.

As Junda Mana tilted her head back, tears welled up in her eyes, glistening in two streams on her cheeks.

This was the first time Toyokawa Shoko had seriously looked at Junda Mana.

Her originally innocent face, adorned with tears, gained a touch of allure. Her delicate pink lips stood out, striking a beautiful shape.

If Naruzawa Kaede were to kiss her, how soft would she feel?

Could it be even softer than hers?

Tsk...

She sings well, doesn't she? A DVD is playing on TV, and people are fiddling with their idols.

That guy with the twisted sense of humor, I love him the most.

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips and muttered to herself, "What's so good about Kaede...? What do you like about him..."

He's good-looking, a bit naive, but that's the kind of look Feng would like. It's just that this girl has terrible taste; she fell for Naruzawa Feng...

That jerk has slapped his girlfriends countless times, and he always comes home with hickeys on his neck. Although he can be very considerate at times, and looks cute when he snuggles into your arms, he can also make you feel very safe when he opens his arms.

Even though they weren't close, he would hug her tightly, saying it was out of pity, but eventually he fell in love with her. When they made love, he would thrust wildly, causing her excruciating pain.

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes softened slightly.

Well, there's nothing I can do about falling for Feng. After all, that scumbag is a master at keeping girls by his side.

Toyokawa Shoko felt that Narusawa Kaede was beyond saving, and she had no intention of getting married.

"This isn't your fault..."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed.

Junda Mana didn't hear clearly and subconsciously asked:

"what?"

"nothing."

The murmur was too soft for Junda Mana to hear. Toyokawa Shoko didn't mind; it wasn't meant for Junda Mana anyway.

Since that's how things are, then it's nothing. It's just that Mingze Feng's overflowing hormones have hooked up with an innocent girl again...

Is she from a respectable family?

Toyokawa Shoko's gaze revealed a hint of scrutiny.

Junda Mana had no idea what Toyokawa Shoko was thinking, just as she didn't know what Mikami Hatsuka was thinking.

But she answered almost everything that Toyokawa Shoko asked her.

From participating in their first singing competition to signing with SW Entertainment, forming Sumimi with Chu Hua, their first album, variety shows, tokusatsu dramas, and movies...

Mana Junda is a very pure idol.

Shoko Toyokawa pondered. She had come to London mainly because of that phone call. Since he had a girlfriend in London, why not just ask her directly?

Toyokawa Shoko asked, "So, you and Kaede are quite close?"

Can you answer that you're not familiar with it...?

Junda Mana did not slack off on the tedious questions; she remained vigilant, watching out for Toyokawa Shoko circling back to her old ways, and sure enough, she did.

“...Yes.” Junta Mana answered immediately, then swallowed hard, her mind racing as she tried to recall how many times she had met Narusawa Kaede.

Aside from the nods exchanged during performances and the polite exchanges over the phone...

It seems that I only had a brief moment alone last night, right?

“Feng…”

"Although Mr. Feng is a bit unreliable on a daily basis... I always felt that he actually experiences sadness..."

Junda Mana sighed softly, her eyes glistening with worry and helplessness.

"Is it possible that he simply wanted to do..."

Toyokawa Shoko's voice stopped abruptly; what she was about to say was not appropriate.

Besides, this is a matter between her and Mingze Feng. Whatever the matter, a meal will suffice.

Before Mana Junda could say anything more, the door to the room was pushed open.

Misaka Hatsuka changed into a white short-sleeved shirt; she hadn't been wearing this before. She was somewhat dazed, staring blankly...

A scene where one's chin is being pinched by another friend.

Perhaps this scene could be included in some kind of comic.

But right now, all three of them are straight women.

Toyokawa Shoko subconsciously withdrew her hand. Junda Mana, who was sitting to the side, only then remembered that she still had tears on her face. She grabbed a couple of tissues, wiped her face, and then hurriedly got up.

When Junda Mana returned, Toyokawa Shoko and Mikami Hatsuka were no longer in the room.

There might be a message on your phone.

She didn't know if it was good or bad. But at this point, Junda Mana couldn't figure out what constituted good news or bad news.

Mana Junda didn't check her phone.

That's all for now...

Holding a water glass, Mana Junda sat on the sofa in the lounge.

Imagine yourself being kicked out of the company.

Chapter 21 Every scumbag is bound to encounter a love triangle.

They had no idea what Junda Mana had gone through.

Naruzawa Kaede sat in Shimizu Eliza's car, his gaze passing through the left-hand window.

The boundless grasslands are interspersed with forests, and there are scattered sheep and deer. The lush green grass reflects the gentle sunlight, and the concept of spring is so clearly and tangibly present.

Living here, the pleasant environment alone could extend one's lifespan considerably.

This is a sight you can't see in the city.

The English countryside is among the most pleasant places in the world.

As a former imperialist power, although it has declined, Britain still relies on the wealth it once gained through plunder and exploitation. While its urban infrastructure remains at the level of modernization of more than a hundred years ago, its countryside has long since surpassed the stage of urbanization.

The British themselves are moving to the countryside, or rather, the suburbs.

Winchester, located in Hampshire, England, is a small town with a relatively short history. It lacks the conveniences of city life and is best described as romantic and relaxing.

The journey from London to Winchester along the M3 motorway, with its pastoral scenery, is exactly what Mingze Feng is seeing now.

Pastoral idyll...a picture scroll like a poem.

About half an hour later, the car stopped beside an old street.

Although a cement road has been built, it is so narrow that perhaps only two cars carrying chopped chili fish heads can pass each other here.

The road was not straight, but full of bends. The buildings on both sides were spaced at varying intervals, mostly two-story houses with attics. The roofs seemed to have been specially treated, looking from a distance like a large black pot covered up.

Their last phone call was arranged at the entrance of Winchester Cathedral. When they met again, Yamada Ryo hadn't changed much.

At 1.63 meters tall, Yamada Ryo isn't particularly tall. However, with the average height of British women being 161 centimeters, Yamada Ryo standing in the middle isn't considered short.
