Nanaya didn't know what Grandpa Shion meant by "take care of yourself", but he knew that at least he would not be delivered to Tokyo Bay tonight.
That was enough for Nanaya.
"Well, it's getting late."
Shion glanced at the time, then she stood up and gave up the seat next to Ryan.
"I'm going to take my grandpa back to the hotel. I won't be staying at your place tonight."
Nanaya nodded: "Well, it's rare for him to come here, you should accompany him more."
"Of course."
Before leaving, Shion winked at Nanaya and said, "This one is for you."
She was talking about Ryan, who was looking at Nanaya with blurry eyes.
Perhaps because he drank two extra glasses while chatting with Shion just now, Ryan's face was a little red, and looked quite gorgeous under the lights of the banquet hall.
"Um...okay."
Nanaya was indeed worried about Ryan's appearance. She was his temporary female companion today and he had an obligation to be responsible for her.
"Remember to be a gentleman to others. Hehe~"
Shion left behind a string of small sounds like silver bells and disappeared in front of Nanaya.
"This girl really is...don't listen to her nonsense."
Nanaya sat in Shion's seat. Instead of drinking alcohol, he asked for a glass of lemonade.
He had just been talking to Mr. Washimine Hiroshi and he had been feeling thirsty for a long time.
"No, actually what she said makes sense. I guess I will never be able to get married in this lifetime."
Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly and drank the last bit of wine in her glass.
"Have you drunk too much?"
Nanaya smelled a faint smell of alcohol coming from Ryan.
"It's just so-so, just two small glasses of whiskey."
Nanaya didn't know whether the "two" was a real or imaginary reference, but he knew that Ryan's condition was indeed not very good.
"I'll take you back to rest. Please wait for me for a moment."
Nanaya said goodbye to a few important people and told them that he was leaving.
Then Nanaya took Ryan's arm and walked out of the banquet hall.
Ryan looked at Nanaya's arms intertwined with his, with an unhappy expression on his face.
"I don't think you need to be like this. It makes me look like a little girl who needs to be taken care of."
Having said that, Ryan did not push Nanaya away, but just expressed his dissatisfaction in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, Miss Lane Wetting is the best."
Nanaya responded casually, not taking her words to heart.
He didn't think that Ryan, who always said "I can't get married", was in a normal state.
"Do you see me like that too?"
Ryan suddenly stopped.
Nanaya had no choice but to stop as well. He looked at the blonde beauty beside him in confusion, "What happened, Ryan?"
"Nothing." Ryan shook his head.
But just as Nanaya was about to move forward and leave the hotel, her eyes became unusually firm, and she exerted force with her arms to hold Nanaya.
Ryan mustered up the courage to ask Nanaya: "Nanaya, I want to ask, what do you think of me?"
"You? You're Lane Wettin, Lily's sister and my friend. What's the problem?"
Nanaya summed it up and then asked back.
"That's all?"
"That's it."
Nanaya discovered that there was something not quite right with this blond lady since the beginning, and he didn't know what kind of magic potion his wife had given her.
"I don't believe it." Ryan looked up at Nanaya and asked, "Nanaya, tell me, have you ever liked me?"
"…"
Nanaya was a little confused and he almost nodded and agreed.
Then, Nanaya felt like a little man in his mind slapped him in the face.
[Do you call that love? You are just lusting after her body, you are such a slut!]
"Well, from the perspective of our relationship, I consider you a friend."
Nanaya thought about it and finally decided that it would be better to admit it.
"But from a man's perspective, you are indeed greedy for your body."
"Haha, you are honest."
Ryan chuckled twice.
Nanaya originally thought that the other party was going to do something big, but Ryan just took Nanaya's arm and pulled him out of the hotel.
When the two walked out of the banquet hall, they saw Leysritt already standing in front of a black car waiting for them.
Although she looks the same as her sister Sera, Leysritt's very distinctive expressionless face makes Nanaya recognize her at a glance.
"Leysritt, what is this car?"
Nanaya recognized this black car; it was Shion's car.
"Ms. Washimine left today in her grandfather's car. She specifically asked that you can use this car today."
Leysritt said in a serious tone.
"Then I really have to thank her." Nanaya turned around and gestured to Ryan, "Please get in the car, Ryan."
"Okay." Ryan replied with a smile.
Although Ryan had already caught a glimpse of countless reporters at the hotel entrance flashing their cameras.
But she didn't mind at all. When she saw Nanaya open the car door, she bent down and got in.
When Ryan got in the car, Nanaya was also preparing to get in.
But Leysritt suddenly added another sentence with no expression.
"Ms. Washimine also said that the sound insulation of this car is very good. This is the conclusion she came to after personal testing."
"…"
Nanaya resisted the urge to complain and closed the car door.
Because Nanaya knew very well that Leysritt was probably just reciting what Shion said, and there was no benefit in complaining about Leysritt.
Delaying this time will only cause traffic jam in front of the hotel.
"Well, let's go."
After Nanaya got in the car, Leysritt also got in the passenger seat.
Obviously, Serra was the one driving.
She slowly drove away from the hotel entrance, obviously waiting for Nanaya's instructions.
"Where do you live?" Nanaya asked.
Ryan hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "I'll spend the night at your house."
"Why?"
Nanaya opened his mouth wide; he didn't expect this answer.
Even Leysritt, who rarely expressed her emotions, looked at Ryan through the small window in the baffle.
Ryan chuckled and said, "I originally planned to live with Lily, so I should leave with her."
"How could I have known that someone would leave so hastily? I didn't even have time to explain."
Ryan rolled his eyes and said with a bit of pride.
At this moment, if Nanaya hadn't noticed that the two lumps of fat hanging on Ryan's chest were real fat and not silicone.
He almost thought that the person in front of him was Lily in disguise.
"Then let's take you to the hotel where Lily is staying now."
Nanaya nodded slightly and prepared to give orders to Sera.
"No, it would be nice to go to your place."
Ryan covered his mouth and laughed softly, "Lily's room is a single room. I thought I would just make do with it, but since you, the director, have invited me, I won't be polite."
[When did I invite you? ]
Nanaya was helpless, he just leaned back on the sofa in the back seat and said in despair, "What if Lily doesn't see you when she comes out later?"
Nanaya definitely didn't believe what Ryan said about the single room. Considering Lily's status as a cash cow in Washimine, even if she lived alone, it would at least be a suite.
When Ryan saw Nanaya's casual and sloppy appearance, instead of blaming him, he leaned over and bumped into him, less than a few centimeters away from him.
"Just watch it for yourself. The girl has already agreed."
Ryan said as he handed the phone to Nanaya, and saw a sentence written on it.
[Sister, you have to work hard! ヽ(￣▽￣)?]
[It feels very much like that girl. ]
Nanaya smiled bitterly with a bit of helplessness, then motioned to Sera to drive the car to his villa in New York.
Ryan called the hotel where Lily was staying and asked someone to send his luggage to Nanaya's villa the next day.
When both parties finished their work, the car fell into a brief silence.
Ryan just looked at Nanaya, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
[Is it because of the alcohol? She actually did something like this...staying overnight at a man's house...]
Ryan's face was flushed with shyness. She felt that it was because of what Shion said before that made her so confused.
But now it has come to a critical moment, and retreating at the critical moment is not the style of the Weiting family.
"Nanaya..."
Nanaya had already realized something. He stared at Ryan blankly, not knowing what to say.
Although Nanaya was indeed greedy for her body, it was not a lie that he always regarded Ryan as a friend.
"Ryan, you're drunk and aggressive, right? Calm down a bit, I think..."
Seeing Nanaya trying to comfort himself, Ryan opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.
[Since I don't know how to say it, I'll just do it. ]
Although Ryan appeared gentle and elegant in front of outsiders today, she has always been a very decisive and aggressive person.
When the time comes to make a decision, Ryan never lacks the courage to implement it.
So, without waiting for Nanaya to finish his words, Ryan mustered up her courage and raised her head - she was going to kiss Nanaya directly.
But an extremely embarrassing scene occurred.
Because the movement was too fast, and the distance between the two people was already very close.
Nanaya was caught off guard.
So the two people's noses and foreheads were directly connected.
This was the first time Ryan had kissed someone in her life. She was a little shy and flustered, so she kissed him with a lot of force.
No, maybe the word "bump" would be more appropriate.
As we all know, the human nose is very fragile.
When street thugs fight, hitting someone in the nose is always a very good preemptive measure.
So the feeling of Nanaya and Ryan bumping into each other's noses was definitely not pleasant.
So, the next second after Ryan kissed her, the two people who were originally very close immediately separated at the fastest speed.
Ryan covered his nose, his blue eyes filled with tears - from the pain.
Nanaya wasn't much better off. He felt a sour smell in his nose and a burning pain in his forehead.
The two rubbed their noses and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
They both read embarrassment in each other's eyes.
But when he saw the other person pinching his nose with tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
"Hey, Sera."
Leysritt, who was in the front row, heard the laughter coming from the back row and asked her sister, "Can we just listen without closing the baffle?"
"It's okay. This is the result of Nanaya not closing the window himself."
Sera replied righteously.
