Shion pulled Ryan to the bar in the banquet hall and found two seats to sit down.
"The drinks here are good. I asked my men to specially select and prepare them."
Shion introduced herself to Ryan in a familiar manner.
Ryan did not take the initiative to respond, she seemed not interested in what Shion said.
Shion said with some amusement: "Why are you like an abandoned puppy? Do you want Nanaya to pick you up?"
This statement is clearly a bit over the line.
Ryan frowned slightly, but she still said nothing.
Shion sighed, then continued, "What would you like to drink? My grandfather and Nanaya will probably talk for a long time."
Ryan finally spoke: "Whatever you want, just pick whatever you want."
Shion wasn't polite either. She asked the bartender to get a bottle of whiskey and two glasses, then came back and poured some for her and Ryan.
"cheers!"
Shion clinked the glass in front of Ryan and drank the wine at the bottom of the glass.
Ryan hesitated, then picked up the glass and drank it.
The two of them have known each other for quite some time, although in the past (and actually still now) Shion always teased Ryan with Nanaya.
They say her breasts are too big and her waist is too thin, and that one day her waist might be broken by the two lumps of fat on her breasts.
However, Nanaya had never said these words to Ryan, and naturally it would not affect the relationship between Ryan and Shion.
Although these two women really have no relationship except that Ryan's sister works for Shion.
In other words, the relationship between Ryan and Shion is really just average.
This is also the reason why Ryan has been frowning since just now, because she found that Shion was coming for her.
"So what do you want to do?" Shion suddenly said.
Ryan asked back, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? You suddenly pulled me here and invited me to drink. I don't remember our relationship being this good."
Although Shion and Lily have a very good relationship, it can even be described as intimate.
But Ryan still couldn't like this woman.
Maybe he was jealous because his partner used the name of "sister" to snatch his sister away from him?
Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly.
However, Shion had no intention of letting the other person go: "So your relationship with Nanaya is that good? Go and pretend to be his girlfriend, um... or rumored boyfriend."
"He and I..."
"Don't talk about friendship." Shion interrupted Ryan, "I know very well that you are not such a person."
Ryan was silent.
"In terms of relationship with Nanaya, your family is far behind the Ryougi family."
Shion analyzed to Ryan, her eyes fixed on him, observing every subtle change in his expression.
"And besides being close friends, Ryougi Shiki covered for Nanaya more because she wanted to see her brother and Nanaya make a fool of themselves. You shouldn't be such a boring person, right?"
Ryan said slowly: "If you have had a detailed conversation with Lily, you should know that I am doing this to help her."
"Oh?"
"If you agree to let Lily graduate from being an idol and become a regular star, then she will directly take my place, and she will be the one you need to compete with."
Ryan puffed up his nose as he spoke, his words full of disdain.
"Don't think I can't see it. You like Nanaya, right?"
"Puff——"
Ryan's words made Shion sneer.
"Are you sure this is what you really mean?" Shion shook the wine glass, "You really don't have any feelings for Nanaya?"
"Would it disappoint you if I answered 'yes'?" Ryan took a sip of whiskey. "I don't know why you have always regarded me as your archenemy."
Shion did not explain, but said, "In Nanaya's eyes, apart from elders like his mother and his master's wife, women can be roughly divided into three categories."
"One type is friends and assistants like the Ryougi siblings, who have a good relationship but won't have any relationship."
Ryan's mouth twitched slightly: "Isn't it a bit..." if you include Ryougi Ori in the calculation
"What do you think of him as a man, other than his gender?"
Ryan suddenly realized that what Shion said made a lot of sense and he couldn't refute it at all.
"The second is people like Scarlett Johansson who only have a working relationship with her."
Ryan did not refute this.
"If we're talking about three, it means people who have a 'close' relationship with him, such as his ex-girlfriend Shimoya Sakura, as well as Tohsaka Rin and me."
Shion said it out loud. She knew Ryan was not a person who liked to gossip. Even if she knew these things, she would not choose to announce them to the public.
"Are you trying to say that Kiryu is a playboy? So you want Lily to leave him immediately?"
Ryan put his glass down and she poured herself another.
Although Ryan had no idea about Nanaya's unfaithfulness beforehand, he had anticipated it.
Who in the entertainment industry hasn't had some trouble?
As long as Nanaya and Lily are together, they just need to make sure that there is no adultery.
"The two of them haven't confirmed their relationship yet, so as long as they don't fall out, it's Kiryu's business how many women he has."
Ryan answered while drinking, "Of course, if he officially started dating Lily, I would definitely make him break off his physical relationship with you. This is a matter of principle."
"Ahaha~~"
Shion made a strange long sound, as if she didn't believe that this was Ryan's true thought.
"I'm serious," Ryan replied, "I'll tell Lily about Kiryu's philandering. I think if my sister gets angry and gives up on Kiryu, that's your ultimate goal, right?"
"No, no, no~ I'm not talking about your sister, I'm talking about you."
Shion shook her wine glass and said something that surprised Ryan.
"Are you kidding me?"
There was a hint of annoyance in Ryan's tone, and with the help of alcohol, her cheeks and pink neck were flushed.
"I didn't." Shion said seriously, "I only know that you are special in Nanaya's heart. I knew this from his reaction when you two first met."
"You want to say love at first sight?"
Shion didn't answer directly, but a smile appeared on her lips: "So I want to know what you think of Nanaya? Or which of the three categories do you want to be? Or do you want to jump out of these three categories?"
Ryan Wetting didn't say anything. She seemed frightened by what Shion said.
"Don't lie to yourself. Your feelings for Nanaya are definitely not just those of ordinary friends. You just haven't realized it yet. Maybe - you've realized it, but you don't want to admit it?"
The smile on Shion's lips became more and more intense, and just like at the beginning, she once again took the initiative to touch Ryan's cup with her own.
"Think about it carefully? Or do you plan to live alone for the rest of your life?"
After saying that, Shion happily drank the brown liquid in her cup.
"…"
The expression on Ryan's face was uncertain, and from her trembling lips it could be seen that she was very uneasy inside, and she even had the urge to spill the wine in the glass onto Shion's face.
But in the end, Ryan just drank the whiskey in his glass in one gulp, just like Shion.
"You're amazing. I can't drink like that."
Nanaya's voice suddenly sounded in Ryan's ears.
Ryan was startled by Nanaya's sudden appearance, and the last half of the drink got stuck in his throat and he almost spit it out.
"Ahem."
Ryan coughed and wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, while glaring at Nanaya with an angry look.
Although the angry Ryan looked a little more beautiful than his usual stern look, Nanaya did not have the courage to continue teasing this lioness.
"What are you doing?"
Nanaya didn't understand why Ryan was so angry, so he could only ask Shion for help.
"Well..."
Shion crossed her legs and looked at Ryan smugly, while the other turned his fierce gaze towards her.
[If you dare to tell anyone about what we just talked about, I will bite you, meow~]
Well, the above words were all made up by Shion, but the intention that Ryan's eyes wanted to convey was not wrong.
"We were actually having a drinking competition just now. Whoever can finish the wine in the glass in one breath wins."
Shion gave Nanaya a mischievous smile: "Nanaya, you interrupted Ryan and made him drink half a sip less, so she lost."
"You guys are awesome."
Nanaya gave a thumbs up. For a drunkard like him, this kind of behavior was tantamount to seeking death.
"Have you finished talking to Grandpa?"
"Yes, I was severely scolded by him."
Nanaya said with a depressed look, "He rejected the two plans I submitted to Brother Satoru before, so we need to adjust our previous strategy. I will give you the plan in two days."
"Hey? You just talked about work?"
Shion also looked very surprised. It seemed that she also thought that Washimine Hiroshi would discuss his personal style issues with Nanaya.
"Well... how should I put it? He probably only mentioned something about the two of us, right?"
Nanaya's face immediately became very interesting, and his expression was as if he had eaten durian-flavored curry.
··
A few minutes ago.
"Then let's do as you say."
After a series of conversations with Washimine Hiroshi, the other party finally agreed to Nanaya's proposal.
"Okay, I'll have See Moon make an announcement in a couple of days. I'll take my leave now."
Nanaya breathed a sigh of relief, finally he managed to deal with the old man.
"Wait a moment."
Just as Nanaya was about to get up, the old man grabbed Nanaya's shoulders.
"Don't you want to tell me? What's your relationship with Shion?" The expression on the old man's face suddenly became fierce.
Nanaya blinked and blinked his eyes: "Ordinary superior-subordinate relationship?"
The next second, Nanaya immediately protected his head.
Because the old man had already lifted the cup on the table and was about to smash it on Nanaya's head.
"Grandpa, calm down!"
Washimine Hiroshi was so angry that he laughed: "You also called me grandpa?! Isn't it just a normal relationship between superiors and subordinates?"
"Uh...haha?"
Nanaya laughed awkwardly twice.
"Nanaya." The old man touched Nanaya's forehead with the cup, "I don't care about Shion's private life, you take care of yourself! Don't let me know that you bullied my girl, or I will sink you into Tokyo Bay!"
Looking at the vicious old man, Nanaya finally understood why Shion liked to use Tokyo Bay to threaten people in the past.
