Having just escaped the wolf's mouth, they've entered the tiger's den?
"Wait, let me sort out the situation," Ito said, feeling a bit confused and trying to make sense of this absurd turn of events.
"You mean, I used your money to settle my engagement with Nagano, and then I'm going to marry you?"
He paused, his voice filled with disbelief: "Why?"
If we rule out the absurd possibility that Asada might be lusting after his body, then what else could it be for?
In order to place a 24/7, all-encompassing supervisor by his side?
Or is she hoping that marriage will make him more tolerant and less controlling of her in the future?
Before Asada could even organize his thoughts to answer the interrogation, Ito's cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
He took it out and saw the name "Chinatsu Moriue" flashing on the screen.
He hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button under Asada's teary-eyed gaze that was fixed on him.
"Mori, what's wrong?" He tried to keep his voice calm.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Moriue?" Ito called out again, but there was still no response.
He suddenly thought of a possibility and tentatively changed his form of address: "Chika?"
“I’m here,” Mori’s voice came immediately, her tone so sweet it was almost dripping with honey, “It’s about that 50 million yen thing, you don’t have to worry about it, senpai~ I’ve already prepared it.”
"So, this means that you can break off your engagement with President Nagano~"
"Really?" Ito blurted out, his tone filled with genuine surprise and relief.
He no longer needs to marry Nagano Sae, nor is he bound by Asada's inexplicable "marriage repayment" agreement. He is finally free from being traded like a commodity.
“Of course~” Mori’s voice was still light and cheerful, “There’s also some good news,” she deliberately kept them in suspense, drawing out her words, “It’s about me and Hisahito.”
"What?" Ito was still immersed in the joy of relief and did not realize the hidden meaning in the other party's words.
"That's right, my mother said she wants to meet you, Hisahito."
"Huh?" Ito thought for a moment and felt that the request was reasonable. "It should be."
"After all, it's a large sum of money being lent out, so it's normal for the parents to want to meet and confirm."
"It's not a loan~" Moriue corrected casually.
Ito's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an extremely ominous premonition rose within him.
"My mother and I have surprisingly reached a rare consensus on this matter."
Mori's voice was still sweet, but it carried an undeniable air: "Using fifty million yen to find a suitable marriage partner is a very good deal."
She continued, "For just fifty million yen, you can have everything your senior has..."
Ito didn't hear what was said after that, nor did he want to hear it anymore.
He pressed the hang-up button and stood still.
Completely unaware that Asada's gaze had gradually shifted from initial grievance and expectation to resentment, he was now standing beside her.
This emotion reached its peak, especially when Ito called her "Chinatsu".
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Her future husband (in his opinion) was talking to another woman in such an intimate way in front of his wife.
She no longer suppressed her sobs, letting her grievances and the pain in her legs turn into tears and whimpers.
The commotion immediately drew the attention of Hayakawa Miki from next door.
"Yu~ What's wrong with you?!" Hayakawa's voice, filled with helplessness and reproach, came in before he even arrived. "You keep making these kinds of silly mistakes lately!"
"If you make Asada angry again, I won't help you anymore!"
Ito: "......"
He really didn't do anything this time, and in some ways, he might even be the biggest victim.
Of course, Hayakawa wouldn't listen to his explanation.
She walked straight to Asada, who was crying so hard she was almost fainting, and asked in a soft voice:
"Little Sakura, what's wrong? Did Yu bully you again?"
How could Asada directly say that she cried because she was jealous and felt "betrayed"?
She felt the pain in her right knee becoming increasingly intense.
In fact, from the very beginning, the crying was largely due to the intense pain, and Ito's subsequent actions were merely accelerants and emotional catalysts.
"I...he..." she sobbed, unable to finish her sentence, and collapsed into Ito's arms, deliberately calling out:
"My legs... hurt... they hurt so much..."
Chapter 222 The "Idiot Persona" Always Brings Unexpected Gains!
The hospital corridor reeked of disinfectant. Ito sat on a bench outside the ward; it was 23:13 PM.
It's impossible for him to marry three people at once, and even if he had that idea, the law wouldn't allow him to do such a thing.
The key question is who he should accept. Nagano Sae is the first one to be ruled out. It's still the same old problem: two people together won't be happy.
Similarly, Mori no one can be allowed to do the same. If the other party is already so arrogant now, Ito will probably be completely controlled by Mori no one after they get married.
As for Asada......
Ito recalled the idol girl who had been crying in front of him and Hayakawa an hour and a half earlier.
It turned out to be just a leg ache... Ito really felt that the other person was a bit too oblivious, not at all like a student from Hibiya High School.
In other words, the test results haven't been released yet, otherwise Ito Makoto would have arranged a tutor for the other person.
Ito's gaze fell on Asada, who was limping towards him from a distance, holding an ice pop in her hand.
Yes, she came to the hospital too.
They say that only hospital treatments will prevent pain, and that nurses can perform magic to make the pain disappear.
First, she pinched Ito all the way to relieve her pain, then bit Ito just as the nurse was about to disinfect the wound, and finally looked at Ito with teary eyes, which led to Ito getting a good lecture from the nurse.
Phrases like "He doesn't care about his girlfriend at all."
If Ito hadn't been sure he hadn't gone to the wrong place, like an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, he would have thought he was a heartless person who made the pregnant woman Asada have an abortion.
In conclusion, marrying Asada is out of the question. It's absolutely impossible for Ito Yuujin to marry her. Absolutely impossible.
My current intelligence is already somewhat lacking; if we wait until the saying "pregnancy makes you stupid for three years," then what will become of us?
Even with bandages on her knees, Asada was still able to walk to the convenience store outside the hospital to buy an ice pop.
No wonder Ito thought the other person took an unusually long time to go to the toilet, an unbelievable amount of time.
"Ito, why are you staring at me?" Asada, the patient, walked up to Ito. "Is there something on my face?"
After saying that, she put the popsicle in her mouth and touched her face with both hands.
"No." Ito said helplessly.
They are currently outside Yuriko Minamoto's private ward. The soundproofing of the private ward is quite good, otherwise it would be a waste of the money Ito sold himself for.
But Ito didn't think this was something that would make Yuriko Minamoto happy.
If Ito Keihei hadn't said that Yuriko Minamoto couldn't sleep at night, Ito wouldn't have chosen to come over now.
Otherwise, all you'll get is a good scolding, or a good scolding, or a good scolding.
"You finish eating first," Ito said, looking at Asada, who was taking small bites of her popsicle.
This guy was so slow, he didn't seem to care at all about the popsicle melting and getting his hands dirty.
Asada took a small bite, and because it was so cold, she breathed on it as she earnestly said, "No, I want to see Grandma right now!"
No, you don't want to.
"Grandma must miss me too." Asada did not give up.
“No, she doesn’t want to.” Ito shook his head.
"Ito, what ulterior motive do you have?" Asada's eyes began to show suspicion as she looked Ito up and down. "Are you afraid I'll tell Grandma?"
"Don't worry, even though it's all your fault, I won't say a bad word about you to Grandma."
Asada gave Ito a reassuring look and then tried to pat his wound. This strange action by the unlucky girl made Ito's eyelids twitch.
He certainly didn't want to be scolded by Yuriko Minamoto, but not because of that.
It's like drinking Luckin Coffee with regular ice in winter, and then making Asada eat popsicles when you're injured. If Yuriko Minamoto saw this scene, she would definitely use it to attack herself.
They said things like, "You can't take good care of girls," or "You don't care about others at all."
Although it wasn't Ito's fault... well, it's still somewhat related.
Ito had wanted to ask this for a long time: Asada called her "Grandma" more affectionately than his own grandson, and Mori was the one Yuriko couldn't forget, even though they had only met once.
This further solidified my resolve not to marry them; who knows how much mistreatment I would suffer.
There are already enough wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice; there is no need to subject Ito to further unfair treatment.
Just as they were discussing whether to go in or not, the sliding door of the ward was opened from the inside, and the appearance of Yuriko Minamoto silenced the two of them.
"Hello, Grandma." Asada waved with one hand while hiding the popsicle behind her back.
Clearly, she didn't want Yuriko Minamoto to see her eating an ice pop.
"Hello, Grandma." Ito glanced at the flustered Asada, then focused his gaze on Yuriko Minamoto.
She's gotten even thinner.
"Good evening, Sakura." Yuriko Minamoto gave Asada a kind smile, but ignored Ito completely.
It's not surprising that the two of them are here; they must have been talking outside the ward and someone inside overheard them.
"Grandma, what are you going to do? I can help you." Asada blinked.
"I want to go out for a walk; it's a bit stuffy in the ward," Yuriko explained patiently.
"Going out so late?" Ito wondered. He instinctively wanted to stop him, but Yuriko Minamoto's sharp gaze silenced him.
