After cutting off the phone, Jing Nai pressed the phone to her chest and closed her eyes hard.After maintaining this movement for a while, she shook her head and threw the phone away again. The person that person likes is Saori Takame, a high-class daughter.If she knew that she had only graduated from high school and was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, she probably wouldn't even bother to raise her eyes.Let alone talk about a marriage proposal.After knowing the truth, he will 100% angrily accuse her of being a liar. Thinking of this, Jing Nai showed a masochistic smile.These are not taken for granted.They are, in fact, bona fide liars.

After getting out of bed, she stretched out her hands and stretched her muscles. An hour later, she was in Roppongi.There is no special purpose, but I just feel that people can be more energetic when walking on the lively streets. However, things backfired.On weekdays, just stepping into the store, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.But now, even when she sees new products from famous brands, she still looks numb.No matter how many foreign clothes I looked at, I still didn't feel the desire to buy them. She continued walking aimlessly. "Who exactly am I?" This question spreads in my mind.

Live without goals, without dreams.Just keep cheating on men just to stay alive.As a result, I finally found someone I really liked, and the relationship ended without a problem.Even if the deceit wasn't about the money— A wide intersection appeared before him.Before she knew it, she had come a long way.Looking around, Jing Nai's mood became a little tangled.Everything around is so familiar.This is Azabu Juban. Like a fool, she thought.Obviously in order to put Xing Cheng behind for the time being, she came here unconsciously.Maybe I have realized my destination a long time ago, and it may not be necessarily.

Shizuna sighed and turned to the subway entrance.It's useless to come here. However, she stopped before the steps.The road that Xingcheng and Xingcheng have crossed several times is not far ahead.It was obviously a few days ago, but now it seems like a lifetime away. Turning around, Jing Nai stepped forward, she secretly decided to just walk this way again, take a look at Xingcheng's new store that is about to open, and then go back. Chewing on the past, Jing Nai walked slowly on the narrow one-way street.She had intended not to approach the street for the time being.Or maybe this is the last time.

As the store approached, just twenty meters away, she walked more and more slowly.Knowing that it was impossible to meet Xingcheng, she couldn't help but her heart beat faster. Shizuna recalled the first time she came here.From the front of the building, up the spiral staircase is the "Togami Pavilion" Azabu Juban store.A store that accumulates dreams and grand plans.Shizuna couldn't forget the look in his eyes when he talked about what kind of store he wanted to open.It contains the brilliance of youth and the courage to ride the wind and waves. Shiina lowered her head.Never hear him talk about it effusively again.

Enough, she thought. She was about to retreat, but when she was about to turn around, someone grabbed her shoulder from behind. Unprepared, she turned her head and saw the man standing there, she couldn't help crying without tears.A familiar face.That slender and pale face was quite familiar.However, she couldn't remember his name anyway. The man stared at her with wide eyes, and then said, "It really is Shiho." Even though she was called "Shiho", she still couldn't remember how to write the word "Shiho".Then, she remembered the name of the man in front of her—Hisanobu Takayama.

There was chaos in my mind.For a moment, she couldn't remember exactly what excuse she used to break up with him.The only thing that was clear: it was a very bad encounter in this place. "What's wrong? Why are you here. Didn't you go to New York?" Takayama's words awakened Shizuna's memory.By the way, Minami Shiho is a designer who went to New York to study. "Sorry, something happened and I didn't go to New York." Saying that, Jing Nai took a few steps back.She was about to find the right moment to slip away.Gao Shan is not a professional athlete, so if he runs hard, he should be able to get rid of him.

"Then why didn't you tell me? Do you know what kind of mood I am waiting for you? Besides, you are here. It's so strange!" "Mr. Gao Shan is the one, why are you here?" "Last time I saw someone who looked very similar to you here, and I've been looking for it since then. Whenever I have free time, I walk back and forth here. When I was about to give up, I finally found you." Takayama stretched out his arms and grabbed Shizuna's wrist with amazing strength. "Wait a minute...please let go." "No. I won't let you go if you don't explain well. Why didn't you contact me?" Gao Shan's voice made passers-by look sideways.His eyes were strange, as if he had lost himself.

"Hey, what are you doing!" A voice came from behind. This voice deepened Shizuna's despair.Without looking back, she knew who it was. The footsteps are getting closer. "It's so unreasonable to women." Xingcheng stood beside him, grabbed Gao Shan's arm, and rescued Jing Nai's hand. "Who are you?" Gao Shan squinted at Xingcheng in embarrassment, "Ah, you, last time you were with her!" Xingcheng instantly showed a look of surprise, and then he nodded calmly. "I've met her a few times. Then again, who are you? Why are you so rude?"

"I don't. She's my lover. She's gone abroad, but she's here, so I'm interrogating her. It's nothing to do with you, don't mind your own business. " Hearing Gao Shan's yelling, Jing Nai could only bow her head and remain silent.Xingcheng must be at a loss.She couldn't think of what to say to calm Gao Shan and at the same time successfully hide it from Xingcheng. "Is this person really your lover?" Xing Cheng asked Jing Nai. She shook her head with her head down. "Shiho!" Takayama raised his voice. "Shisui?" Xingcheng muttered unexpectedly.However, he did not question the strange name, and said to Gao Shan: "You think she is your lover."

"Of course. The future has also been considered." "I see." Xingcheng nodded, "Then it would be better for me to negotiate with you. You and her should not be separated." "Negotiation?" "It's about paying back the money. In fact, I'm here today for that. If you're willing to pay it back on her behalf, we welcome you with applause." "Borrowing? How much?" Gao Shan asked Jing Nai. However, she did not answer.She couldn't understand what Xingcheng was talking about. "About 20 million." Xingcheng replied calmly, "If you are willing to repay it on her behalf, let's go back to the office together and sign the contract. If you can't do it, just turn right and go back honestly! Before I was injured." He lowered his voice so that Jing Nai could not hear the last sentence. In an instant, a timid expression appeared on Gao Shan's face. "Is this true?" He asked Jingna. She nodded silently. "That's it." Gao Shan said hopelessly. "How? Come or not, give me an answer!" Takayama stood upright.Shizuna sensed his eagerness to escape. "Sorry. You'd better go home early today. I'll contact you later." After Gao Shan looked back and forth between Jing Nai and Xing Cheng, he replied in a low voice with "Yes". "Then I'll wait for your call." With that, he turned and left. Watching Gao Shan go away in a taxi, Xing heaved a long sigh of relief. "I've been deceived. I think your current appearance is more suitable for acting as someone who owes money. I acted very poorly. Is it okay?" "Saved my life. In fact, the man just now was a stalker, and I don't even know how to deal with it." "It seems that my guess is right. Speaking of which, why are you here?" "Ah...it's nothing. I passed by and wanted to see how your shop is doing." "Thanks. Nice to see you too. Come in for a drink." Under Xingcheng's guidance, Jing Nai walked into the shop.The store has been pretty much renovated.They sat facing each other in the seats by the window. "I was taken aback just now. It's hard to imagine that Mr. Hu Shen would threaten him like this." Xingcheng smiled shyly. "I've met all kinds of people in this business. Sometimes bluff is important." The young clerk brought black tea.She is in uniform and appears to have begun training. "Bring me my bag." Xingcheng said to the clerk.Then, he looked at Jing Nai, "I'm really sorry for making so many phone calls. I want to see you no matter what." "I'm just being rude." Jing Nai lowered her head. "There's something for you to see." Jing Nai's heart skipped a beat, she looked back at him, wondering if it was the ring. However, he took out something Shizuna never dreamed of from the bag. That recipe notebook. "Please be honest." Xingcheng put the notebook on the table, staring at Jing Nai seriously. "Who are you?" For a moment, Jing Nai's mind went blank.She looked surprised, unable to think of what to reply.She didn't know why Xingcheng was holding this notebook. "What is this...?" Jing Nai said with difficulty.She knew she couldn't hide the embarrassment in her heart. "That's exactly what I want to ask. What exactly is this?" Xingcheng asked calmly, and he could feel that he was trying to suppress the anger and doubts in his heart. She lowered her head and shook slightly. "I have no idea." She thought to herself, maybe she would be scolded from head to toe.From the conversation with Gao Shan just now, he can also see some clues, aware of her unknown side. "Please, please tell me frankly." Xing Cheng still said in a calm tone, "I know you have something to hide from me." Jing Nai secretly glanced at Xingcheng, she really cared what kind of expression Xingcheng had now.There was no trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was sadness in his eyes.She noticed.He wasn't angry, just deeply hurt.She lowered her eyelids again. "I went to Zangshuge the night before yesterday. I was looking for some information." Xingcheng began to talk, "When I took out the book "Family Cooking of the World", I found this notebook next to it. Because from I hadn’t seen it before, so I took it out to have a look. I was shocked. It contained the recipes of foreign food in detail, and it was not in my father’s handwriting. However, what surprised me the most was the smell of this notebook.” Shiina raised her head.smell-- "You smell it too. I think it hasn't evaporated completely." Xingcheng pushed the notebook. After Jing Nai took it, she leaned closer and smelled it.In an instant, she understood what Xingcheng meant. "You know it. It smells of perfume. My mother insisted on giving you a gift - Chanel perfume. You spray the perfume on your wrist and spread it with your right hand. Although you were wearing gloves later, it seems The notebook still smells of perfume." Shizuna put the notebook back on the table silently.She searched her stomach for how to refute, but found nothing.She remembered the scene when she received the perfume, but it was only now that she remembered that she had perfume on her hands. "Please tell me. Why hide it there?" Xingcheng asked persistently. The hands on the knees were clasped tightly, and the sweat kept oozing from the palms. Brother, what should I do? ——Kuichi and Taisu's faces appeared in her mind.After untold hardships, this meticulous plan finally proceeded smoothly.Now, everything will come to naught.
