Her hairstyle was also carefully styled; although her long, black hair was loose, every strand was perfectly positioned.
She wore a pink flower headdress with white edges, which complemented her kimono perfectly, adding to her elegance and grace.
Her face was delicate and graceful, with painted eyebrows, bright and gentle eyes, and lips as tender as cherry blossoms.
Seeing that Dongfang Chen was stunned by her beauty, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle: "Alala, Dongfang Jun, it's not very polite to stare at me so directly!"
Her demeanor was elegant and graceful, and every movement was full of feminine softness and charm.
"You clearly showed this to me on purpose, okay?"
He instantly regained his composure.
However, it must be said that at this time, Machi Gozen was indeed exceptionally attractive in terms of her feminine charm.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't bother spending three hours dressing up like this. Dongfang Jun is the first person besides my family and driver to see me dressed like this!"
She said it with a smile.
She had already succeeded when she saw Dongfang Chen momentarily lost in thought for her.
"That must be very kind of you. Are we going straight to the banquet now?"
"Well, it's already past five o'clock, so it's necessary to get in early."
"Speaking of which, I invited you to go on vacation to Izu a few days ago, but you didn't go. Are you this busy during your vacation?"
Speaking of this, Gogohan Manchi sighed softly.
"Sigh~ Dongfang Jun isn't from a wealthy family, so he probably can't understand. It's actually during holidays like this that we're the busiest."
"I'm going to visit many elders, business tycoons, and government officials with my fathers. How can you guys have such a leisurely time?"
"I guess even rich people have their troubles!"
He nodded in understanding.
"Hey, Dongfang-kun, tell me what you guys did in Izu! Even though I couldn't go, hearing about it will give me a sense of participation."
She grabbed his hand and shook it.
"It was just a normal vacation, but if you want to hear more, I'll tell you..."
So, Dongfang Chen began to give Gozen Manzhi a brief account of what they had seen and heard during their vacation in Izu.
Around 5:10 PM.
Their car arrived outside a huge estate, and judging from the extent of its walls, it probably encircled several surrounding mountains.
It's no wonder it's the work of the Shinomiya Foundation, isn't it?
Along the way, luxury cars, a rare sight on the streets, were everywhere, and tall bodyguards in suits and sunglasses stood upright every two meters.
The tycoon conglomerate is pulling out all the stops!
After they got out of the car at the manor gate, a special attendant came to guide them.
Of course, before entering, you have to check if you have an invitation. There were already a few guys who tried to sneak into the manor, but they were dealt with on the spot by a group of bodyguards.
They'd be beaten so badly their own mothers might not even recognize them...
And it was treated like a piece of trash, carelessly tossed into a makeshift shed.
Even so, no one present showed them any pity.
After entering the manor, Gozen Manchi took his arm and even rubbed against him intentionally or unintentionally. What a charming little devil!
"When we get inside, Dongfang-kun, remember to call me by my name. I'll call you Chen too."
“That’s no problem, Magic: The Gathering.”
He had no objection to the form of address.
As for her purpose in doing this, it is probably to reduce unnecessary harassment.
As a young and beautiful noblewoman from Kyoto, Machi Gozen is the object of pursuit for many wealthy young men!
"Yes, I hope that Chen will continue to call me that after this banquet!"
He felt an even softer, more comfortable touch on his arm.
"Playing with fire in this situation is not an option!"
Although I was secretly pleased, I still had to give him a verbal reminder, lest he get too carried away and get even more excited later.
"Hehe~ Chen, just pretend nothing happened." 22
"That won't do! You've taken so many advantage of me, I have to get my revenge!"
As he spoke, taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, he quickly reached out his hand, and a second or two later, he casually withdrew his right hand.
Manji, who was serving food to the emperor, was stunned for a moment. Her face quickly turned red with embarrassment. She puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and pinched the soft flesh on his waist.
"A surprise attack is too despicable!"
"It's all because Magic only cares about playing with fire and doesn't consider my feelings at all."
"Honestly, you should have told me in advance next time! Also, use less force, it's starting to hurt..."
"Ahem, I'll be more careful next time."
At this point, they finally arrived at the banquet hall.
The door opened, and a servant respectfully said, "Please come in, esteemed guests!"

In the spacious banquet hall, a dazzling crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the entire space.
The walls are covered with valuable artworks and luxurious decorations, showcasing the taste and status of the wealthy family.
The long dining table was set with exquisite silverware and fresh flowers, filling the air with their fragrance. Servants in neat uniforms bustled among the guests, serving them delicious food and drinks.
The banquet participants were dressed in their finest attire, adorned with expensive jewelry, and spoke softly to each other, engaging in elegant conversation with other guests.
In the center of the banquet hall, there was a stage where an orchestra was playing melodious music that echoed throughout the hall.
The dancers, dressed in gorgeous costumes, gracefully danced on the stage, adding a touch of romance to the banquet.
Waiters carried silver platters laden with various delicacies, including fresh seafood, roasted meats, and exquisite desserts. The enticing aromas filled the air, making one's mouth water.
The entire banquet exuded luxury, elegance, and taste, showcasing the grandeur and status of the wealthy family.
"Wow, is this what life is like for the rich?"
Dongfang Chen couldn't help but sigh with envy.
Of course, he was only envious; he wasn't actually interested in this kind of extravagant and decadent scene.
He would never admit to being a country bumpkin!
"Let's go find a place to sit down!"
Manji, who was serving the imperial meal, tugged at him.
The two went to a secluded corner, away from the powerful and influential people who were good at chatting.
"I, coming from the countryside, really can't adapt to the atmosphere here."
He looked at the noisy banquet hall.
"You'll get used to it after a few visits. Actually, it's mostly business conversations among the older folks, comparing their year's performance and recommending the younger ones they brought along."
"It's all the same old stuff, nothing new at all."
Dongfang Chen was both amused and exasperated.
Then he asked, "Speaking of which, the banquet doesn't start until 7 p.m., does it?"
"Hmm, there's still more than an hour left!"
"I need to find a place to kill some time."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around, finding a sofa. Although there seemed to be two people there, it wasn't a big problem.
Despite having such a large banquet hall, it's difficult to even find a place to sit.
"Let's go sit on that sofa over there for a while!"
He pulled Manji, who was serving rice, over there.
Upon getting closer, he could see that the two women were both young girls!
The girl sitting on the sofa has long black hair with bangs on both sides of the front of her hair, and her pupils are bright red.
She was wearing a black off-shoulder dress, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with her legs together, elegantly sipping a cup of black tea.
However, she exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay, making people subconsciously feel that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Standing next to her was a blonde, blue-eyed girl dressed in a black and white bodyguard suit.
She remained expressionless, and the atmosphere was quite heavy.
When Dongfang Chen and Gongyufan Wanzhi arrived, she glanced at them indifferently but made no other move.
Dongfang Chen had already guessed their identities from the familiar combination and their familiar faces.
It was Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, but he chose to pretend he didn't know them at all.
