Chapter 1783 - 1784: Fiancé
"Where is he right now?" Watanabe Nagayumi asked in shock while speaking, and even glanced into Watanabe Hideaki's room.
Watanabe Hideaki stood at the doorway, with the door deliberately open, so anyone wishing to look inside could easily see the room.
But Ling Zhenfei, hidden under the blanket, was generally unnoticed.
Watanabe Hideaki feigned a puzzled expression, saying, "Ling Zhenfei has surely left; we just exchanged a few words."
"What did she say?" Watanabe Nagayumi asked.
Watanabe Hideaki said, "That's between us, do I need to inform you? Oh, right, she did say 'I've arrived.'
Watanabe Nagayumi was a bit bewildered: "I've arrived, he's arrived, what's his purpose in coming?"
Watanabe Hideaki replied, "What purpose exactly, I also have no idea. Haven't you pursued him for so long, and still don't know his purpose in coming?"
Watanabe Nagayumi looked at Watanabe Hideaki, his expression sinister, saying, "Hideaki, how can you associate with someone like that?"
Watanabe Hideaki asked, "What kind of person is he? Why can't I be with him?"
Watanabe Nagayumi said, "He's our enemy, don't you know?"
Watanabe Hideaki laughed, "What feud do we have with him, how come I'm unaware?"
Watanabe Nagayumi shouted in anger, "Last time he came, he killed someone, don't you know who it was? Kai Masao, your fiancé, have you forgotten all these things?"
Watanabe Hideaki replied, "But I know that you brought him here and he even helped treat grandfather's illness; otherwise, grandfather wouldn't be able to get out of bed."
Watanabe Nagayumi angrily said, "I said no, so it's no. No need for all these reasons. Are you sure Ling Zhenfei has really left?"
As he spoke, Watanabe Nagayumi glanced into the room again.
Of course, Watanabe Hideaki saw this very clearly and said, "Dad, you don't suspect he's in my room, right? Come in and search."
After saying this, Watanabe Hideaki walked into her room directly towards her bed.
Watanabe Hideaki was only wearing pajamas, it was a dress, and that's why when she stepped out, it was astonishing.
Ling Zhenfei was hiding in the bed, to avoid suspicion, Watanabe Hideaki's body was tightly next to Ling Zhenfei's.
Watanabe Nagayumi stood at the doorway but didn't really enter.
Even though Watanabe Hideaki was his daughter, she was grown now, and since she was resting, it wasn't suitable to enter the room.
Moreover, the room wasn't very large, one glance would reveal everything.
Standing at the door, Watanabe Nagayumi could see clearly.
"Hideaki, it's for your own good, you know the Kai family members are in our Watanabe family too, especially Kai Itta, whose son was killed and wants revenge on Ling Zhenfei.
If it's known you're still involved with Ling Zhenfei, how do you think he'd react? So even if you meet this Ling Zhenfei again, keep your distance and don't associate with him anymore."
Watanabe Hideaki said, "I understand, but it's not like I'm deliberately seeking him out."
Watanabe Nagayumi said, "You're not young anymore, old enough for marriage. Once this turmoil is over, I'll choose a suitable match for you."
Watanabe Hideaki replied, "Are you selecting a match for me or for the Watanabe family?"
Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Of course it's for you, but the match should be family-compatible, how about that young man, Yanshan Yongji?"
Watanabe Hideaki said, "I know, whoever you choose always has one common trait, a powerful family background."
Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Naturally, a strong family can protect you."
Watanabe Hideaki said, "Suit yourself, to you I'm just a tool now."
Watanabe Nagayumi angrily said, "Hideaki, how can you say that? I've raised you so much just to hear such words from you to upset me?"
Watanabe Hideaki replied, "Fine, I won't upset you. I'll follow your arrangements, whoever you want me to marry, I will. I need sleep, you should go."
Watanabe Nagayumi's expression was somewhat unpleasant, saying, "Rest well, pay respects to the elders tomorrow."
"Understood."
Watanabe Nagayumi closed the door and left with his subordinates.
Watanabe Hideaki had been sitting on her bed and now slid under the covers, where Ling Zhenfei was.
Both were hidden under the blanket, very close to each other.
"Did you hear? My dad wants to marry me to Yanshan Yongji."
Ling Zhenfei of course knew about Yanshan Yongji, he learned about it when challenging the Hoshino family.
"But Yanshan Yongji should be in his thirties, right?" Ling Zhenfei recalled.
Watanabe Hideaki replied, "He's almost forty, saying he's in his thirties is because he uses cultivation to maintain his appearance."
Ling Zhenfei said helplessly, "Can't you marry someone younger?"
Watanabe Hideaki replied, "In today's society, there aren't many young talents to be found, especially those who reached the Zhiyi state by their twenties, not everyone is as gifted as you.
Your current strength should be at Peak of Dawen Realm, Watanabe Goryu is Dawen Peak, being able to fight him shows you're at the peak; but he's also in his thirties.
Being in his thirties is already highly talented, yet you're only in your twenties, I can't believe there are such geniuses in the world."
Both were hiding under the covers, very close, close enough to feel each other's breath while speaking.
Perhaps the blanket was hot, or maybe it was because of excessive talking, or for whatever reason, the temperature between them was rising.
With the rising temperature, physical changes naturally began to occur.
The sky showed a hint of dawn, light was breaking.
As the sun rose high, the strong light from the sun outside shot inside.
The light was so strong that even the curtains couldn't block it.
Ling Zhenfei knew they were in the Watanabe family, and everyone residing upstairs was from the Watanabe family, even Watanabe Nagayumi lived nearby.
It might be late in the day, as knocking sounds came from outside the room.
"Who is it?"
Watanabe Hideaki shouted sharply.
"Hideaki, wake up, today wasn't it decided to meet some elders?"
It turned out to be Watanabe Nagayumi's voice.
"Got it, getting up soon, don't worry."
Watanabe Nagayumi said, "It's late already, hurry and get up."
"I know, I'll head there myself in a while."
Watanabe Nagayumi left, but the knocking sound wiped away all traces of sleepiness between them.
"We haven't defeated the Hoshino family yet, and we're already discussing post-victory plans." Watanabe Hideaki said.
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "In their minds, does it seem like the Watanabe family is destined to win?"
