Chapter 73: He Feng, are you happy?
Everyone present was speechless because of Himeno Natsuki's question.
"Natsuki, Aunt Keiko greeted you just now, why didn't you react!"
Hime no Kiyoseki reminded her daughter to return the gift.
"Sorry, I didn't notice you earlier, Auntie Keiko..."
Despite being only three years older than her, she had to call the other woman "auntie," which made Himeno Natsuki somewhat resistant.
"No need, no need. Just call me sister."
Keiko Inoue smiled and waved her hand, then glanced at their tightly clasped hands.
Why hasn't she loosened her grip on the Japanese style yet?
After shaking hands with Yamazaki Kazukaze, Himeno Natsuki held onto Yamazaki Kazukaze's hand tightly, which made Inoue Keiko very unhappy.
"That won't do; we can't mess up the seniority. Huizi, our relationship isn't that distant."
Hime no Kiyoseki said solemnly.
"So, Aunt Keiko, what are you doing here?"
From Himeno Natsuki's perspective, Inoue Keiko seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Aunt Keiko is Mr. Yamazaki's girlfriend. They're going on a date together today."
"What?!"
As if struck by lightning, Himeno Natsuki screamed uncontrollably.
"Natsuki, what's wrong? Why are you shouting like that?"
Himeko Seiyuki discovers that her daughter's mental illness may be more serious than she thought.
"You're Yamazaki Kazukaze's girlfriend!?"
As Himeno Natsuki spoke, she gripped Yamazaki Kazuka's hand tightly, causing him some pain.
"actually...."
Keiko Inoue wanted to explain, but after making eye contact with Natsuki Himeno, she involuntarily trembled.
Himeno Natsuki's eyes were so terrifying that they made her feel suffocated.
This woman looked as if she was about to pull out a knife and stab herself to death any second now.
"How should I put it? My relationship with Mr. Yamazaki..."
Keiko Inoue wanted to explain, but Natsuki Himeno didn't give her a chance.
"What do you like about this short, stocky guy?"
Himeno Natsuki pointed at Inoue Keiko, her bloodshot eyes glaring intently at Yamazaki Kazukaze.
"Natsuki, what are you saying?"
Hime no Kiyomi pulled Hime no Natsuki back to her side and scolded her sternly.
Her mother's angry rebuke brought Himeno Natsuki to her senses a little more. She glanced at Inoue Keiko, then at Yamazaki Kazukaze.
"Apologize now! What's wrong with you today, kid?"
Himeno Seiyuki urged Himeno Natsuki to apologize immediately, but Himeno Natsuki stared intently at Yamazaki Kazukaze and asked the question she most wanted to know.
"Mr. Yamazaki, are you happy with her?"
Hearing this question, the person most touched was not Yamazaki Kazuka, but Inoue Keiko.
No matter how good-tempered she was, she couldn't tolerate Himeno Natsuki bullying her like that.
"Wafuu, are you happy being with me?"
Looking into Keiko Inoue's big, watery eyes, Kazufu Yamazaki gave his answer.
"happiness."
This brief reply infuriated Himeno Nazuki, who wanted to lash out, but then she lost the strength.
I cannot ruin the happiness of the gentle breeze.
Himeno Natsuki never expected that she would make such a decision.
Perhaps this is love.
She really liked this damn man in front of her.
She liked him so much that she allowed him to find someone better than herself.
This is also why I asked Chiba Karen to help guard Yamazaki Kaze.
She had already made up her mind that if Yamazaki Kazuka found someone else after returning to Japan, she would never bother him or disturb his peace.
Why am I so looking forward to meeting Yamazaki Kaze?
Because Chiba Karen reports to him every week that Yamazaki Kazuka is still single.
A relieved smile appeared on Himeno Natsuki's face; it was her own choice to go abroad back then.
The path you choose, you have to walk it to the end, even if you cry.
"Really? Then you must cherish her. You must grow old with her and never leave her."
Himeno Natsuki never expected that she could compromise to this extent with Yamazaki Kazuka.
In order not to embarrass him, we pretended not to know him and acted together.
He had another woman, yet she chose to bless him, letting go without arguing or making a scene.
"Thank you for your blessing, Natsuki-san. I will do my best."
Yamazaki Kazukaze's words were like a knife, piercing Himeno Natsuki's heart.
Himeno Natsuki felt a sharp pain in her heart. She hadn't felt this much pain when she left Japan to study in Europe last time.
"Natsuki, the banquet is about to begin. You should let go of Yamazaki-sensei's hand and go to the banquet; Karen and Haruyu are waiting for you."
At her mother's prompting, Himeno Natsuki finally let go of Yamazaki Kazuka's hand.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yamazaki, I didn't realize I had been holding your hand the whole time."
"It's fine."
"Go back and rest, Yamazaki-sensei. You need to come to my house to teach Saki tomorrow; she needs you."
Himeno Natsuki felt like a snowman in summer, melting under the scorching sun, yet still wearing a fake smile.
"Thank you, Ms. Natsuki."
Yamazaki Kazukazu understood that Himeno Natsuki had let go.
It's strange. Everything Himeno Natsuki did was in her best interest, but why did she feel so uncomfortable when she let go of her hand?
Himeno Natsuki turned her back and walked towards the restaurant with her family.
But she hadn't walked more than a few steps when she stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Natsuki, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, maybe I'm just a little airsick."
"Oh no! Sister, your nose is bleeding!"
Himeno Saki shouted.
"It's nothing, just a little feverish. Go on, I need to settle scores with Chiba Karen, no, I need to hug her and catch up with her."
Himeno Natsuki wiped the blood from her nose with the back of her hand. At that moment, a maid handed her a handkerchief. She turned her head and used the handkerchief to catch a glimpse of Yamazaki Kazukaze standing there.
【He Feng, if you saw me like this, would you feel sorry for me?】
After wiping the blood from her nose, Himeno Natsuki refused her mother's suggestion to take her to the hospital for a check-up and instead walked straight towards the restaurant.
This time she walked very steadily, even with great force. The sound of her high heels clicking on the ground was powerful and resonant.
Right now, Himeno Natsuki desperately wanted to "caress" Chiba Kei and ask her how she had been watching over Yamazaki Kaze all these years.
Yamazaki Kazuka watched Himeno Natsuki's departing figure, feeling a pang of sadness.
Has the feud between the two come to an end?
From now on, I will continue to teach at the Himeno family, while Himeno Natsuki will pretend not to know me. The past between the two of us will vanish like smoke and turn to dust.
From my own perspective, this seems to be the most favorable outcome.
She raised Saki well, thus forging a bond with the Himeno family. With the Himeno family's support in her future career, her future looks bright.
He remarried Keiko's sister, obtained the Inoue family's property, lived a life of luxury, and became a successful person in the eyes of others.
All of this seemed fine, but Yamazaki Kazukazu still felt uneasy.
When Himeno Natsuki turned around, could she really ignore those lost and dejected eyes?
"Sister Huizi, let's go."
Yamazaki Kazuka felt the question was too complicated and he couldn't give an answer tonight.
As Yamazaki Kazuka turned around, Inoue Keiko remained where she was, and spoke softly.
"Hey Kaze, tell me honestly, wasn't that woman your ex-girlfriend?"
