Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 900 0888 [Mother-in-law visits son-in-law]

the next morning.

"Ohayokozaimasu!" Sakuragi Rin, wearing a brand new floral dress with her long black hair tied into a pink bow at the back, came to the small hotel with a lunch box. When she saw the innkeeper, she bowed and greeted him.

The male owner of the hotel, who was in his seventies, was carrying water to water the flowers. When he saw Sakuragi Rin, he smiled and said, "Again?"

"Huh?" Sakuragi Rin was stunned.

"Didn't you come here secretly last night? Did you think I didn't see you?" the male boss joked.

Sakuragi Rin blushed, "So you knew!"

The male boss pointed to his eyes and then to his ears: "Although I am old, my ears and eyes are still sharp."

"Then...why didn't you stop me?"

"Because I was young once too!" the male boss said meaningfully, "Besides, you are such a beautiful girl."

Sakuragi Rin's pretty face turned red like an apple again.

"Go in quickly, or your lunch will get cold."

"Hayi, Ariado!" Sakuragi Rin bowed to the other party. After that, he lowered his head and walked towards the room where Du Yongxiao lived.

The male boss laughed in the back, "It's great to be young! How long did they do it last night? An hour? When I was young, I did it for three hours, or even seven times a day!"

……

Sakuragi Rin carefully prepared a few unique side dishes and placed them on the dining table happily, then rested her chin on her hand and waited for Du Yongxiao to finish washing up.

She could feel that she seemed to be becoming more and more dependent on Du Yongxiao, as if watching him eat every day was a kind of happiness. Thinking of his gentleness and thoughtfulness, as well as the lingering love, Sakuragi Rin smiled foolishly, her face feeling a little hot, and she spat at herself, she must not become a bad girl.

The sliding door creaked--
Du Yongxiao came out of the bathroom wiping his wet hair with a towel.

Sakuragi Rin immediately flew towards him like a swallow. Du Yongxiao had just wiped her twice when a soft and fragrant body threw itself into his arms, rubbing his ears against hers, making Du Yongxiao's nose itchy.

Du Yongxiao smiled and twisted Sakuragi Rin's butt, causing Sakuragi Rin to grumble.

Du Yongxiao laughed and said, "Why are you here again? Did the boss catch you?"

Sakuragi Rin smiled and said, "I caught him. It turns out he was pretending to be deaf and dumb. Here, these are the breakfasts I prepared for you. I know you have a picky palate and I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to the food here."

Sakuragi Rin guessed right.

Du Yongxiao was satisfied with this hotel in every aspect, except the food, which was not to his taste.

In the morning, I usually have white porridge with radish, natto, and boiled eggs. It is nutritious but not appetizing.

When he saw the delicious food that Sakuragi Rin placed on the table, they were all Du Yongxiao's favorite breakfast, pan-fried buns, century egg and lean meat porridge, and three or four cold dishes.

"So many, it must have taken a lot of effort, right?" Du Yongxiao handed the towel to Ying Mulin, who folded it for him and said, "It's nothing, my best skill is cooking. I'm especially happy to cook for you."

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, walked over in his clogs, sat down at the dining table and said, "If people knew that the most feared female CEO of Pangu Security is good at making breakfast, I'm afraid your opponents would be scared to death."

Sakuragi Rin chuckled and turned back and said, "If I had to choose, I would rather cook for you for the rest of my life."

Du Yongxiao felt even more pity for her when he saw her gentle and lovely appearance. He reached out his hand and asked Ying Mulin to sit next to him. He said sincerely: "Alin, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I will definitely go to your house today. Although I can't really marry you, I can give you the status of a girlfriend and let you be my girlfriend openly."

"Ah Lin, don't worry. Even if I can't really marry you, as long as you don't leave me, I won't give up on you."

Speaking of this, Du Yongxiao felt a little bitter. What woman would like to be someone's lover for her whole life?

Sakuragi Rin, Huang Ying, and Bai Mudan are all his lovers. Before he has a legitimate wife, they may still have expectations and will stay by his side, but if one day he really gets married, will they still do so?

People are all selfish.

I can't tie them up forever.

Du Yongxiao felt a little bitter when he thought of this. Would there really be a day when Sakuragi Rin would leave him?

At this time, Sakuragi Rin's soft body slowly pressed against him, and she gently hugged his waist. Seeing the sudden loneliness on Du Yongxiao's face, Sakuragi Rin could only hug him with pity, hoping to give him some warmth.

Ying Mulin had no idea what Du Yongxiao was thinking. She thought Du Yongxiao was embarrassed about visiting her home, so she said softly, "If you really don't like it, you don't have to go. It's okay!"

Du Yongxiao smiled and scratched Sakuragi Rin's nose with his hand: "I mean what I say! Unless you don't want me to go to your house."

"How could that be? I really want you to go!"

"Really? Then I'll eat faster!"

"Okay!" Sakuragi Rin smiled and kissed Du Yongxiao on the face: "I'm so happy, really happy!"

At this moment, Du Yongxiao also put aside his worries and decided to take things one step at a time. Who knows what the future holds? Filling his stomach is the most important thing now.

……

Sakuragi Rin's home is near Shinsaibashi in Osaka.

Osaka Castle, the symbol of Osaka, was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1583. It is now the first choice for Osaka citizens to relax and have fun. From this large observation deck of the castle tower, you can look down and experience Osaka's present and past, its development and changes. It is full of cherry blossoms, plum blossoms and other flowers, making it the most popular flower viewing spot in Osaka.

If Osaka Castle is the "past", then Shinsaibashi is the "present", so much so that people often say "Tokyo has Ginza and Osaka has Shinsaibashi".

Shinsaibashi Shopping Street is one of the most exciting shopping streets in Osaka. You can take the subway to Shinsaibashi Station, starting from the famous SONY TOWER, and then strolling all the way to Osaka's famous large shopping mall - Takashimaya.

On the way to Sakuragi Rin's parents' house, Sakuragi Rin said with a smile: "From tomorrow on, I will be the official girlfriend of the Great British Earl and Hong Kong tycoon Du Yongxiao! Hehehe!"

Du Yongxiao held her hand and said, "Yes, I am very happy to be able to walk hand in hand with you on the street openly like this."

Du Yongxiao recalled that when he was in Hong Kong, no matter who he was with, as long as it was a woman, the paparazzi would chase him relentlessly, which was annoying. It was so comfortable to be free like this now.

Unlike many Japanese families, Sakuragi Rin's parents do not live in a big villa or a mansion, but a very simple Japanese-style attic.

The white walls, the main wooden buildings, the clean streets and the surrounding low-rise buildings all seem to indicate that this is not a wealthy neighborhood, but a civilian neighborhood.

Especially the Sakuragi family's house, which is extremely old and looks even more dilapidated compared to the surroundings, giving a feeling of hardship. Du Yongxiao is a man who has seen the world, but when he arrived at Sakuragi Rin's house and saw the words "Sakuragi's House" written on the doorplate, he actually felt a little nervous.

So Du Yongxiao coughed, tidied his appearance, turned around and asked Sakuragi Rin what was wrong with him, which made Sakuragi Rin giggle, and her heart was filled with happiness.

Obviously, Du Yongxiao was not pretending and looked really nervous, which greatly satisfied Sakuragi Rin's little woman's mind.

Just imagine, a peerless hero who looks down on the world, who can chat and laugh with the Prime Minister of the British Empire and the future President of the United States, and who is a powerful and majestic figure, now shows a nervous expression at the door of his own house. It's really cute.

Sakuragi Rin couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and touch Du Yongxiao's face lightly.

Du Yongxiao smiled bitterly: "Don't let your parents see it, I'm afraid they will beat me to death!"

Sakuragi Rin chuckled, "If you want to hit me, hit me. I took the initiative."

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!" Sakuragi Rin shouted into the room.

no respond.

"Uh, what's going on? I told them you were coming today!" According to Sakuragi Rin's understanding, when his parents heard the doorbell, they should run out to open the door.

Du Yongxiao was also a little surprised and touched his nose: "Am I unwelcome?"

"Impossible, something must have happened." Sakuragi Rin took out the key, opened the door, and invited Du Yongxiao to follow her in.

The two walked across the yard and came to the door of the room. Before they opened the door, they heard voices of conversation coming from inside.

"That's right. My daughter has resigned now and can't be a police officer, but she still has other careers to pursue and won't be content to be a housewife at home, so you'd better not mention the proposal." These are the words of Sakuragi Rin's father.

"After all, I'm her uncle, and I say this for her own good. Think about it, what kind of career should a girl pursue? She might as well just get married! The man I'm introducing to you belongs to the son of the president of a grain and oil company. All the grain, oil, rice and flour near us are sold by his family." These were said by Sakuragi Rin's uncle.

It turned out that after Sakuragi Rin resigned, she only told her family that she was going to do other things. Because of the special nature of her job, she did not tell her family that she was the female president of a security company.

Her family thought she was unemployed and was too embarrassed to tell them.

In fact, Sakuragi Rin's father didn't like his daughter to be a policewoman from the beginning, mainly because it was too dangerous and prone to accidents.

Now that his daughter has resigned, he is happy, but he is also very troubled by what his daughter will do after resigning.

Sakuragi Rin's uncle lives far away from their home, and this time Ken came to visit him in person on someone's behalf.

The other party is the president of the grain and oil cooperative. To put it bluntly, he is engaged in wholesale of non-staple food and buying and selling grain and oil.

The other party has some money and has a useless son at home who is idle and likes to flirt with other girls outside.

Not long ago, Sakuragi Rin returned home and was seen by the other party. The other party was shocked and thought that Sakuragi Rin was a rare beauty, so he encouraged his father to find someone to propose marriage to her.

Sakuragi Rin's uncle took advantage of the other party, so he came over to make peace.

"That's right, girls should not be kept at home when they grow up. If they are kept, they will become enemies! Especially for someone like A-Rin, whose beauty is her asset. It's better for her to marry a rich man as soon as possible so that you can enjoy the good life with her." The one who echoed the sentiment was Aunt Sakuragi Rin.

The two of them took benefits from the president of the grain and oil company, so they joined the battle together.

"Whatever you say! The main thing is that the person you introduced me to has a bad character!" said the old man. "I heard that he spends his time drinking and partying outside, and even brings some questionable women home to spend the night. Even if our Ah Lin can't get married, she won't marry such a loser!"

"Tsk tsk, you can't say that." Uncle said, "He's just too young - young people are bound to lack self-control and like to play outside. But don't worry, the other party has promised that as long as A Lin marries him, he will settle down and only stay with A Lin in the future!"

"You're right! Men are all like this! The most important thing is that in the future, as long as A-lin marries him, you will enjoy a good life. And your idle son can also be given a job, so you don't have to worry about him anymore!" Aunt continued to assist.

The old man seemed a little angry: "What do you mean by that? Am I selling my daughter? Whether I can enjoy a good life in the future depends on myself, not my daughter! As for that good-for-nothing in our family, he doesn't rely on his sister either - a man must be upright!"

After hearing these words outside, Du Yongxiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the old man. At least, he was a real man.

"Oh, look at what you said! You really mean it! You know, if you weren't my brother, I wouldn't worry about these things!" Uncle said disdainfully, "You still rely on yourselves, open your eyes and look at how shabby the place you live is? The people around you are richer than your family, do you want to suffer like this for the rest of your life?"

"So what?"

"What? You don't feel ashamed, but I do!" Uncle said angrily, "I really regret having the same last name as you. It's a shame for the Sakuragi family to have you!"

"You, you, what did you say? Cough cough cough!" Dad was so angry that he started coughing violently.

It was very noisy in the room. Sakuragi Rin didn't know whether she should go in at this time, but Du Yongxiao had already started knocking on the door.

Boom boom boom!
"Who is it?"

Then the sound of wooden clogs was heard.

The door creaked open and a middle-aged woman stuck her head out.

The woman looked somewhat similar to Sakuragi Rin. She was about forty years old, with her hair tied up and wearing a water skirt. There was a hint of vicissitudes on her face, but it could not hide her former beauty.

The woman was in good spirits, but her eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried.

She opened the door and saw Du Yongxiao and Ying Mulin at a glance. She immediately said in surprise: "Alin, it's you. This is the one you were talking about..."

The woman looked Du Yongxiao up and down with a look that was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

Du Yongxiao knew that the other person was Sakuragi Rin's mother, so he immediately bowed and greeted her according to Japanese etiquette: "Hello, my name is Du Yongxiao, and I'm from Hong Kong!"

After taking a look at Du Yongxiao, Sakuragi Rin's mother was surprised at how young and handsome he was. She felt that this young man had the potential to be a star.

She looked at Du Yongxiao without saying a word, still in a daze.

Sakuragi Rin hurried forward and held her mother's shoulders: "Mom, please say something!"

The woman was startled awake and hurriedly said to Du Yongxiao: "Private Marseille! Please come in quickly! Ouch, I'm so sorry!" Then she shouted into the house: "Dad, our daughter is back, and she brought her boyfriend!" Her voice was very loud, as if she wanted everyone in the house to hear it on purpose.
