Chapter 734: Chapter 734: The Two-faced Woman Chapter 734: Chapter 734: The Two-faced Woman “Mr. Jie, you can call me Chiyo. Being able to serve Mr. Jie is an honor for me.” Chiyo Ito’s smile was sweet, she deeply glanced at Dan Hanjie before she turned and sat in the car behind them.
The two teams all headed in the same direction.
Soon, they arrived at the ancestral home of the Ito family.
The slightly aged mansion was homed to two rows of cherry trees. The season for cherry blossoms had passed, leaving behind only green leaves swaying in the wind.
In the middle of the courtyard, a stone bridge was built over an artificially made stream following the design of a garden. The occasional sight of a little fish added life to the entire mansion.
“This way please, my father is already waiting for you inside.” Chiyo Ito walked ahead, occasionally looking back at Dan Hanjie.
Qin Youxuan narrowed her eyes. It was still bearable to deal with Ye Mingmei, who was evidently scheming, but now there was Chiyo Ito who also didn’t seem to be as innocent as she appeared.
Being so attractive only attracted trouble.
Qin Youxuan was annoyed, and pinched Dan Hanjie’s palm. In return, he tightened his hold on her hand.
He glanced around vigilantly with his enchanting eyes.
Not finding anything unusual, he looked down at Qin Youxuan who was pouting.
He lowered his head and pecked her lips, “This isn’t our turf, if you want something, you’ll have to wait until we’re back at the hotel.”
She was clearly angry, yet why did this feel like a confession of love?
“Pouting your lips so much, aren’t you hoping for a kiss?” Dan Hanjie wore a playful grin.
Even after being teased, she found his smile charming. No wonder Chiyo Ito couldn’t take her eyes off him.
“Right now, all I want to do is to ruin your face,” Qin Youxuan bit her lip and retorted coldly.
She turned her head and met the jealous gaze of Chiyo Ito. Evidently, Chiyo had seen Dan Hanjie’s earlier affection towards her.
Subconsciously, Qin Youxuan lifted her chin.
She didn’t shy away from Chiyo Ito’s scrutiny.
Chiyo Ito was stunned, then her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes grew cold.
She stepped aside to gesture them into the living room.
The large living room was adorned with several valuable oil paintings. One wall near the spiral staircase was dominated by a picture of Japanese kendo, showing the importance of its lineage in the Ito family.
“You have travelled a long way to visit us, we can only offer simple hospitality as a welcome. I apologize for the thin tea, I hope you understand.” A middle-aged man sat in the center of the living room near the fine tea set.
The dark grey kimono made him look sharp. The steam from the boiling water concealed his expression, giving him a profound look.
Dan Hanjie walked straight up and sat across from Ito Hiroki.
As they looked at each other, no one spoke. The silence was palpable.
Chiyo Ito quickly stepped forward and respectfully began to brew the tea.
The strong aroma of the tea spread through the room, adding a pleasant freshness to the atmosphere.
“Father.” Chiyo Ito poured the tea. First, she placed a cup in front of Ito Hiroki.
“Mr. Jie, please have a taste.” She then presented a cup to Dan Hanjie.
The moment she picked up the third cup, her finger trembled and the hot tea splashed towards Qin Youxuan.
Chiyo Ito let out a scream, panicking.
Qin Youxuan reflexively tried to duck, but she was too late.
She could only raise her hand to shield her face.
