Chapter 665 - 665 651 Her Confidence is Full (2)_1

Chapter 665: 651, Her Confidence is Full (2)_1 Chapter 665: 651, Her Confidence is Full (2)_1 “Father, it seems Huizi has developed inappropriate feelings for the CEO Quan, whose wife is the head of the Jian Family. If Huizi provokes her, it could affect our Ito Family too.” After much deliberation, Ito Yukiko decided it necessary to bring this up with her father, for fear that Huizi’s greed might lead her to irreversible actions.

“Huizi?” The color darkened in Ito Takahashi’s eyes.

Quan Jingwu was incredibly powerful and wealthy, it wasn’t surprising that Huizi was attracted to such a man. However, Yukiko was right. Jian Qing was a formidable character. If they offended her, it could also involve their Ito Family.

He glanced at Ito Yukiko, noting her calm demeanor. After a moment’s pondering, he said, “I understand, have someone summon Huizi here for me.”

“Yes.” Ito Yukiko nodded and exited.

A moment later, Ito Keiko entered the grand hall.

Looking at the back of Ito Takahashi, she felt heavy-hearted.

“Father, what is it that you wish to speak to me about?”

Ito Takahashi turned, looking at her sharply, “Huizi, tell me the truth, have you taken a liking to Quan Jingwu?”

Stunned by his question, Ito Keiko stood in place, “Father, I…”

“Tell the truth.” Ito Takahashi ordered sternly.

Meeting his sharp gaze, Ito Keiko evasively responded, “Father, has sister said something about me to you?”

Damned Ito Yukiko, sooner or later, I will step all over you and reclaim the position of the eldest princess from you.

“Don’t try to change the subject. Even if Yukiko is the one who said it, so what? She is looking out for the interests of our Ito Family.” Ito Takahashi said coldly after a brief glance at her.

Ito Keiko bit her lip, determination flashing in her eyes. “You’re right, father. I admit that I do harbor feelings for CEO Quan.”

It seems Yukiko did indeed speak the truth.

Ito Takahashi frowned and commanded, “Huizi, you need to immediately rid yourself of these inappropriate thoughts. The primary concern right now is the collaboration case, I won’t allow any errors.”

“Father!” Ito Keiko clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves to a fist.

I won’t forget, Ito Yukiko, you’ve persuaded father to stand with you. I will remember this.

“Huizi, Quan Jingwu cherishes his wife greatly. Don’t cause trouble for our Ito Family. Jian Qing is not someone you can provoke.”

Ito Keiko moved forward a few steps, delicately held his arm, and sweetly coaxed, “Father, I understand that CEO Quan is very caring towards his wife, but she’s now pregnant and naturally unable to serve him. In this world, which man isn’t unfaithful? Imagine if he takes a liking to me and if by then, it will be done and dusted. The collaboration would essentially be a sure thing; perhaps we might even get additional benefits. Don’t you see, if we’re able to secure JK International, it would be nothing but beneficial to us.”

Hearing her words, Ito Takahashi looked at her thoughtfully, a hint of hesitation stirring within him, “But Jian Qing is not someone to be trifled with.”

“Father, just trust me this one time. I am confident that I can make CEO Quan fall for me. Men prefer women who are less domineering than them, and Jian Qing is far too domineering. Over time, CEO Quan will surely tire of her,” Ito Keiko insisted.

“Are you confident?” Ito Takahashi asked with a hint of uncertainty.

Ito Keiko nodded hurriedly, her eyes glittering brightly, “Of course, father, I promise you, I will secure the collaboration for you.”

Ito Takahashi looked at her and lapsed into thought. After a while, he said, “Alright, I’ll trust you one more time. Remember, you don’t have a lot of time; they’ll likely stay here for about a week, and you must win him over within that time.”

“I understand,” Ito Keiko confidently asserted. A triumphant smirk briefly flashed in her eyes.

Ito Yukiko, it seems like you are nothing special after all. In the end, Father still chose to believe in me, not you.

Under the dim glow of dawn, the plane adorned with the Sophallo Family’s emblem gradually descended onto the open field outside the fortress.

Jian Luo, still groggy from sleep, followed Black Jack off the plane. A chill wind brushed past him, causing him to sneeze.

“Caught a cold?” Black Jack looked down at the person next to him, removed the scarf around his neck, and wrapped it around Jian Luo.

“I told you, soaking in the bath for a while would suffice. But no, you had to stay there until you fell asleep.” He said softly.

The scarf was still warm from Black Jack’s body heat. Jian Luo smiled, “Stop nagging, I only sneezed. I didn’t catch a cold.”

“You idiot, can’t you ever save me some worry?” Black Jack curled his index finger and lightly flicked Jian Luo’s forehead.

Jian Luo just laughed it off and looked towards the fortress’s grand entrance, “We’re here so early, won’t we disturb your mother’s rest?”

“She’s your mother too,” Black Jack corrected him.

Jian Luo blushed slightly and shot him a glare, “Who said? Don’t forget we’re not married yet.”

“We will get the license after meeting my mother,” Black Jack said, wrapping his arm around his waist, pulling him closer.

“Hey, let me go! What if someone sees us?” Jian Luo anxiously looked around while pushing against him.

“So what if they see us? It doesn’t matter, after all, you’re going to be the master of this fortress by the end of the day,” Black Jack replied nonchalantly, holding him tighter.

Jian Luo sighed helplessly, “First, let go of me. Let’s go in, I don’t want to be out here in the cold.”

Seeing the redness spreading on Jian Luo’s nose, Black Jack quickly led him into the fortress.

“Count!”

The guards outside the grand gate saluted Black Jack respectfully as soon as they spotted him.

Black Jack merely nodded in response and continued to walk with Jian Luo.

The two arrived too early, the surroundings of the fortress were still quiet.

“What do you feel like eating?” Black Jack asked as they walked into the living room.

“Anything.”

“Young Master!” As Ena made her way downstairs, she paused upon seeing the two men who had just entered.

Black Jack nodded, “Ena.”

“Young Master Luo, you are here too,” Seeing Jian Luo next to him, Ena smiled slightly.

Jian Luo smiled back, “Ena, we haven’t seen each other in a while.”

“Young Master, you should have informed the lady of your return, she would be delighted to know of your arrival,” Ena suggested.

“Is my mother awake?” Black Jack asked.

Ena nodded, “She just woke up. The lady hasn’t been sleeping well recently, she wakes up early every day.”

“Ena, have the kitchen prepare breakfast, then invite my mother down to eat with us. Jian Luo and I will head up to our rooms to wash up first,” Black Jack ordered.
