"Ho ho ho~~ Young Master, you look like a young wife who is very affectionate with her husband~~"

Kinoshita Mai was already thin-skinned. After listening to Makimura's teasing, her face instantly turned red, and transparent gas floated from her head.

Zhuxia and steam fly together.

"Tangerine, young master, the relationship between you two is far better than I expected."

"Hahaha, it's great to be young. Watching the interaction between you two, I feel younger both physically and mentally."

"Hey, I think back when Kiryu told me that the young master had someone he liked, I couldn't believe it."

"Now it seems... no matter how unbelievable it is, I can't help but not believe it."

"Although this question is a bit of a privacy violation, as an elder who has watched the young master grow up, I would like to say one more thing: Mr. Ju, what kind of relationship do you and the young master have now?"

Makimura's straightforward speech made Kinoshita dumbfounded... The next moment, the crimson clouds deepened and the steam became thicker.

——Tsk... Could it be that... this is the so-called "meeting parents"...

Qingden swallowed subconsciously.

Judging from Kinoshita Mai’s attitude towards Makimura, and what Makimura just said, “I have watched the young master grow up since childhood,” Makimura can indeed take on the role of “Kinoshita Mai’s parent.”

Without any prior preparation, being suddenly pulled into this kind of "war" that has discouraged countless couples... Even with Qingdeng's temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

——When you meet your parents, meet your parents! Anyway, it’s just a matter of time before this kind of thing comes!

As soon as he thought of this, Qingdeng sat upright.

"We are now discussing marriage!"

As if to enhance the credibility of his words, as soon as the decisive tone fell, Ayoto lightly stretched his arms and hugged Mai Kinoshita next to him in a very affectionate manner.

Suddenly, the hall became extremely quiet.

Makimura widened his eyes in surprise, opened his mouth slightly, and looked directly at Aoto, and then looked at Mai Kinoshita, who was being held by Aoto.

Compared to Makimura, Boss Kiryu's reaction was much more calm.

He shrugged with a half-smile, his expression complicated, as if he already knew everything.

Qingdeng was not bragging.

He has indeed reached a relationship with Mai Kinoshita where they can talk freely about life events and how many children they want in the future.

"Eh? Eh? Eh?"

The carved Kinoshita Mai looks like a downed robot, turning her head stiffly and looking around her in confusion.

After a while, Kinoshita Mai regained her consciousness.

After her consciousness returned to reality, Kinoshita Wu pursed her lips hesitantly.

In the next breath, she made a move that made Makimura's eyes widen even more, and made Boss Kiryu's expression more complicated:

She opened her arms, hugged Qingdeng's waist, and leaned her left face on Qingdeng's chest.

Although her cheeks were red with embarrassment and she was too ashamed to look at anyone, Kinoshita Mai still forced herself to open her eyelids and looked firmly at the two elders in front of her. While her eyes were filled with shyness, there was also a vague sense of pride.

mood.

This look seemed to be saying to Kiryu and Makimura: Yes! Aonto was right! We are now half a couple!

Seeing Kinoshita Mai being so bold and heroic, Qingden was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what he was doing.

He cooperated with the other party and hugged the beauty in his arms tighter.

This kind of behavior is like swearing the sovereignty of the territory, as if shouting loudly: See! Kinoshita Mai is my wife!

The silent atmosphere lasted for a long time...

"Hahaha...this is really...surprising."

Makimura smiled bitterly and scratched his head.

"You are already in this kind of relationship...well, but this is normal."

Due to various reasons such as the short life expectancy of people, the pace of marriage in the Edo period was very fast, whether it was blind dates or free love.

Meeting at the beginning of the month, dating in the middle of the month, and getting married at the end of the month - this was the mainstream of the Edo period.

The modern practice of dating for several years before getting married is really a non-mainstream and bizarre behavior nowadays.

This is why the day after Aoto and Souji fell in love with each other, Souji eagerly started talking to Aoto about getting married.

Qingnobo met Kinoshita Mai in January last year, and by all calculations, the two have known each other for almost a year.

Therefore, as Makimura just said, after such a long time, it is indeed very common for the two of them to develop the relationship that they have now, just one step away from getting married.

"Oh! It's so touching..."

Makimura poured a few mouthfuls of wine into his mouth.

"In the blink of an eye, the young master has reached the age where he can get married and have children... Alas, time flies!"

"Tachibana, I don't know if you know that the young master was very popular when he was in Osaka. There were countless people who loved and pursued the young master!"

"It's the same now." Kiryu on the side adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and added with a smile, "Almost every day, young and old men in their thirties and forties come here tirelessly just to have a look at the young master.

Our shop.”

"Some brave people directly ask the young master to go out for dinner and play, and some even directly express their love and propose marriage."

"What do you mean, 'Stop working as a surrogate in this small and shabby employment agency, marry me, and I will take you to live a happy life with no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life!'"

"Tsk, when I think about it carefully, it really makes me angry. You dare to say that my shop is small and shabby."

"If it were the previous young master, he would definitely be at a loss when faced with this group of men who have clearly come to pursue him. He would not know how to deal with them."

"And now... although the current young master will still tremble with fear when meeting strangers, she can bravely say 'no' to the men who pursue and entangle her."

"When the young master rejected these people, they all used the same rhetoric: I am already someone's fiancée, and I love my fiancé very much, so please stop harassing me."

As soon as Kiryu finished speaking, a huge scream echoed through the hall.

"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!"

Kinoshita Mai loosened her arms around Qingto's waist and covered her face with her hands.

After she finished screaming, she said urgently in a tone that was almost pleading:

"Mr. Kiryu! Stop talking! These, these, these words are just because I want to make those annoying guys give up once and for all and stop harassing me..."

Before the words were finished, Makimura on the opposite side smiled playfully, and then handed Kinoshita Mai a new critical hit:

"Young Master, you have become a lot more courageous! Even before the engagement was concluded, you started claiming to be so-and-so's fiancée in front of others."

Makimura's timely "last strike" successfully caused Mai Kinoshita to fall into a state of semi-consciousness due to her excessive shame.

——My fiancée...

Qingden tried his best to hold back his laughter until his shoulders began to shake unnaturally, and he looked at Mai Kinoshita jokingly.

Kinoshita Mai noticed Aoto's eyes, and her pretty face immediately turned redder.

While burying her face deeply into Qingdeng's waist, she raised her small fists and smashed Qingdeng's chest with neither light nor heavy force.

"Damn it, hate it! Don't laugh!"

After Kiryu became such a figure, Makimura became more talkative - he also began to reveal information about Kinoshita Mai.

"Hahahaha, yes, I suddenly remembered. Orange, I know why the young master likes you. The young master once told me before: she hopes that her future husband will be a great hero who will stand upright..."

"Wow, wow wow, wow wow wow wow!"! "

A frog-like cry interrupted Makimura's words.

"Don't listen! Don't listen, don't listen!"

Kinoshita Mai couldn't stop Makimura, but she could stop Aoto.

After shouting, Kinoshita Wu straightened her upper body and covered Qingden's ears with her hands.

But it was too late, Qingdeng had already heard the most critical part.

Qingto once again cast a teasing look at Mai Kinoshita.

Kinoshita Mai and Aonto looked at each other.

The next moment, she seemed to have lost all strength and fell limply into Qingdeng's arms.

"Uh wow ah ah..."

A cute moan full of shame was muffled in Qingdeng's chest.

She didn't look up at anyone for a while.

Kiryu and Makimura were not ignorant people. They knew that teasing Kinoshita Mai was fun, but if they continued teasing her like this, this naturally shy girl might faint from embarrassment.

Therefore, after laughing a few times, the two old men let Kinoshita go and started chatting about ordinary family affairs.

After chatting for a while, Makimura suddenly changed the topic:

"Actually, Tachibana, compared to being the 'young master's lover', your other identity - 'Kiryu's apprentice' is more surprising to me."
