How can my simulation be a real love?

"Next is my third condition, which is also my last condition."

"Xiangzi, from now on I have to become your legal wife."

Kazami Mei was slightly taken aback. In Xiangzi's simulation, Toyokawa Sadaharu did not propose a third condition. Was it because he was following Xiangzi's pure love route at that time? But reality is different from simulation?

legal wife?

Perhaps in the eyes of a large family like the 'Toyokawa', having multiple wives in private is not a big deal, but the status of the principal wife is highly valued. After all, the principal wife means being able to participate in important family decisions and having a more special status than other wives.

Kazami Mei treats everyone around him equally, regardless of their thoughts. However, as a husband, he should not treat anyone differently, which is the responsibility he made in the first place.

"call--"

"I disagree!!!"

Just as Kazami Mei took a deep breath and was about to answer Toyokawa Sadaharu's condition, Toyokawa Shoko, sitting next to her, spoke first, her stubborn and determined eyes wide as she loudly retorted.

"Xiangzi?"

Clearly, her rebuttal took Toyokawa Sadaharu somewhat by surprise.

"From the moment I exchanged feelings with Ming, I decided that I would rely on my own efforts... to stand openly and honestly by his side, and to willingly give him more love. This is the special position I gained through such efforts."

"I do not want!"

Regardless of her grandfather's motives for making such a condition to Ming, and no matter how happy she might be about being his "official wife," she would not accept it.

She has self-respect!

"...Is this so?"

Toyokawa Sadaharu simply lowered his aged head in silence. He did not use a forceful approach to suppress her "protest," but instead gazed at her beautiful and familiar face with a complex expression, as if he were looking at his foolish daughter from years ago.

The old man let out a long, soft sigh, as if the passing years had brought him a touch of helplessness.

"--In that case, it's up to you."

Toyokawa Shoko never expected that her domineering grandfather would compromise. She looked around in confusion. Just as she raised her beautiful amber eyes to look at her 'husband', Kazami Mei simply gave her a faint smile.

Xiao Xiang has really changed a lot!

With a gradually softening gaze, Kazami gently took her hand. The two keyboardists' slender and fair fingertips intertwined, calming her down in an instant. Realizing what had happened, she shyly sat back down in her original seat.

"It's getting late, and it's not convenient for you to go back now, is it?"

"Then, let's stay here tonight."

Eh? !

Are you staying here?

Toyokawa Shoko almost forgot that this was actually her home, and now she had returned to the Toyokawa family and become the rightful heiress of the Toyokawa family. Even so, she was still nervous about it, and her bright eyes began to look away unconsciously.

Speaking of which——

Are Ming and her husband now considered husband and wife?

Chapter 151 The Real Miss Xiangzi [3k]

Although they haven't formally exchanged engagement rings like Xiao Mutou, for Toyokawa Shoko at this moment, she and Kazami Mei have gone from being lovers to husband and wife, and their relationship is about to undergo a qualitative change.

"Say, that's true—"

"We've been walking around all day, and thinking about it, we are indeed a bit tired."

The girl, her voice trembling slightly, coughed softly and closed her beautiful eyes as if to ease the awkwardness. But then she secretly opened her right eye to look at Kazeki Kenshin's expression, and when she noticed his gaze, she quickly closed it again, feeling shy.

Her reaction made Kazami Naruto chuckle. He simply smiled and then slowly addressed his grandfather, saying, "Then, I'll trouble you to arrange a guest room for me."

That's not true at all!!!

Her long, slender eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and the girl's exquisite face was gradually tinged with a beautiful crimson. In her heart, she kept muttering complaints about her husband who knew nothing, but under the watchful eyes of the maid and her grandfather, she couldn't speak directly!

The girl, her face flushed red, took a slow, deep breath. Her slender, jade-like fingers unconsciously played with the ends of her sky-blue hair as she nervously asked, "Speaking of which... I don't think my room has been cleaned either, has it?"

The maids around seemed to want to say something but hesitated, but the next second they were glanced at by Xiao Xiang, whose face was flushed, and they all smiled calmly and obediently shut their mouths.

Even the guest rooms are regularly maintained and cleaned, so how could Miss Toyokawa's master bedroom be unattended?

Clearly, this flimsy excuse had exhausted all of Toyokawa Shoko's efforts. She coughed a few more times to calm her racing heart, then feigned helplessness and began to speak—

"In that case, I'll stay in the guest room with Ming."

As she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed, she was about to grab Kazami Naruto's hand and flee the living room, but Kazami Naruto just winked at her and stared at her red face with a half-smile.

"Xiao Xiang, you go ahead first. I'll have some more tea."

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Shoko frowned in distress, but her anxiety subsided when Kazami Mei gently stroked her soft, delicate hair. She then quietly leaned close to his ear and spoke—

"Then I'll go wait for you!"

After the blushing young lady fled first, the maids who had been surrounding her followed her in an orderly fashion, leaving only Kazami Mei and Toyokawa Sadaharu in the entire reception room.

The silent, white-haired old man's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and his gaze towards Kazami Mei flickered with a faint light.

"Actually, I've always wanted to thank you in person for everything you've done for Xiangzi behind the scenes."

Kazami Mei slowly rose and bowed to Toyokawa Sadaharu in front of him to express her gratitude. The old man, who was both rigid and domineering, seemed a little surprised. He sat silently on the sofa with his teacup in his hands, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

As the head of the Toyokawa family, he had his own responsibilities and obligations. In his early years, he neglected to take care of and spend time with his daughter because he was focused on his work. It was not until he lost his daughter that he truly realized the value of family.

He doesn't want to lose his only granddaughter, but he's not good at expressing his feelings for his family.

In fact, the way they express themselves can be described as 'dull'.

He tends to bring his assertive personality into his personal life, communicating with his family with the same attitude he uses at work. He shares the same temperament as Toyokawa Shoko, easily neglecting emotional expression due to momentary impulses.

All Toyokawa Sadaharu could do was secretly help Toyokawa Shoko, doing what he could in his 'dull' way. So when he saw his granddaughter undergo such a huge change beside Kazami Mei, he finally decided to talk to the two of them.

"...This is what I should do."

Toyokawa Sadaharu responded with his usual rigid words, and his gaze toward Kazami Mei held a more complex expression.

They didn't have a deep conversation, but they could vaguely sense and understand each other's feelings.

"It's a pity I'm still a minor, so I can only have a couple of cups of tea with you..."

Kazami Mei spoke softly with a hint of helplessness, then downed the expensive black tea, which was meant to be savored, in one gulp, using tea instead of wine to express his heartfelt respect and gratitude.

The black-haired boy finally let out a long sigh after finishing the last drop of the expensive black tea, and then he looked up again to gaze intently at the old-fashioned man.

"I will make sure Xiangzi is truly happy, and I will never let her suffer any injustice afterward."

"I don't need you to believe me on this, because I will prove it to you with my actions!"

After saying all this, Kazami Naru breathed a sigh of relief. He then exchanged a few quiet words before slowly getting up to leave. Just then, Toyokawa Sadaharu, who had been silent for a long time, responded in a low voice.

"From now on, you can call me maternal grandfather or paternal grandfather, just like Xiangzi did."

After saying this, Toyokawa Sadaharu fell silent again, which reminded Kazami Mei of the cold-faced Shoko from before. A thought flashed through her mind: "Are all the Toyokawa family members this awkward?"

He truly deserves to be called Xiangzi's maternal grandfather.

Kazami Mei took a deep breath to compose himself, and the moment he raised his eyes again, a solemn expression appeared on his face. Calm and earnest words slowly flowed from his lips—

"Grandpa, thank you so much."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Sadaharu fell silent again. He hesitated for a moment, then simply nodded in response before continuing to drink his tea, leaving everyone completely baffled as to what this eccentric old man was thinking.

It was as if he had used up all his courage just by saying those words.

No wonder Xiangzi broke down and ran away from home, willing to go from a high-class heiress to a down-on-her-luck young lady who struggled to support herself. In terms of the 'art of conversation', this family is no less skilled than Xiao Mu back then.

Kazami Mei sighed softly, speaking only in a helpless tone—

"Then, I'll take my leave."

……

After saying goodnight to Grandpa Toyokawa, Kazami followed the Toyokawa family maid to the 'guest room' where he would be staying that night. However, he stopped in his tracks as soon as he entered the room, and almost instantly sensed that something was wrong.

"Miss Maid, are you sure this is a guest room?"

"Yes."

The maid, with a professional smile on her face, nodded slightly, which made Kazami Naruto subconsciously turn her gaze to the interior of the room, the oversized double bed placed in the center of the room, the luxurious and clean decorations, and the surprisingly spacious bedroom area.

In the corner of the room stood an incredibly expensive grand piano, above which sat an old-fashioned Western-style doll. The blue octopus doll that Kazami Mei had caught for Sho was placed next to the doll.

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow.

Are you sure the guest rooms have this size?

"Yes."

When faced with Kazami Naruto's questions, the maid always answered with a smile, which made him immediately realize that he couldn't get anything out of her, so he sighed as if giving up.

"So--"

"Miss Xiangzi is currently taking a bath. Please wait patiently."

No, I haven't asked anything yet.

Kazami rolled his eyes and complained inwardly, while the other party seemed to have noticed his thoughts and maintained a professional and polite smile. Then, he left the room in a respectful and unhurried manner, without revealing the slightest flaw.

As expected of a professional maid.

Kazami Mei reached up and rubbed his temples, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"It really is--"

Guess whether I believe Qin Shi Huang was resurrected, or you believe your statement that this is a guest room?

Mr. Kazami, whose mood was complicated, seemed to have a powerful superpower of 'telepathy'. He casually opened a drawer and found a vintage photo album inside. Good children should not learn this behavior of randomly rummaging through other people's things.

The moment Kazami Mei flipped open the photo album, she revealed an expression of "I knew it."

"Humph~"

The album is full of photos of Toyokawa Shoko when she was a child. Back then, little Shoko always wore pretty classic dresses, had her hair styled in delicate curls, and was holding a doll. She was even cuter than he had imagined.

She was a true heiress when she was young, but as for now...

Mr. Kazami, whose attention was entirely focused on the photo album, seemed unaware of the 'click' sound of the door locking behind him. Just as he was admiring Xiaoxiang's stunning good looks, a slender, fair hand suddenly grabbed him.

"You can't just look at this!"

The blue-haired girl, who had appeared behind him without him noticing, snatched the photo album and hid it behind her back, her face flushed. Just as Kazami was about to tease her as usual, the expression on his face froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Standing before him was Toyokawa Shoko, who was only wearing a snow-white bath towel.

"Really..."

The girl puffed out her cute cheeks and stuffed the photo album back into its place.

As she leaned closer, the room seemed to be filled with a faint scent of roses. Her long, sky-blue hair, as smooth as silk, draped lazily over her shoulders, with a few strands occasionally brushing against her rosy cheeks.

She had just come out of the bathroom, and her body was still surrounded by a layer of water vapor. Her already fair skin was now tinged with an alluring peach color, and water droplets still clung to the ends of her hair. Her delicate collarbone and fragrant shoulders were on full display.

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow nervously, her tone carrying a subtle undertone as she spoke—

"...My dear Miss Xiangzi, is this how you came out dressed?"

Why the sudden use of honorifics?

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her cherry lips and complained somewhat discontentedly. Her pretty face was flushed with an alluring blush. After hesitating for several seconds, she slowly said, "Anyway, anyway, I'll have to take it off later..."

Bull Demon King, aren't you being a little too audacious?

Chapter 152 Xiao Xiang is quite clumsy [3k]

"—Ah, Ming, you're definitely laughing at me in your heart, aren't you?!"

I was wrong, you are the one with superpowers.

Perhaps this was her innate 'female intuition'; even though Kazami Mei said nothing, she still revealed her weakness, which made the thin-skinned Toyokawa even more ashamed and indignant. She reached out and pressed down hard on the hem of the bath towel.

Kazami Mei covered her forehead with one hand and responded in the most serious tone, "No, no, no, how could I possibly laugh at you? Why do you think that?"
