Traveled through time and was picked up by a rich jk

Chapter 98 Is this your choice?
  worn out.

Chen Ling just returned home, lay on the sofa, and fell asleep not long after.

I even forgot to reply to the message from the eldest lady.

It's really a bit busy.

Sudden busyness.

Until the faint sound of the door lock at the entrance suddenly woke Chen Ling up.

Damn it? Didn’t it mean that the transaction was completed?
  What do you mean by coming here now? You don't trust me? !
  Also, why is there a key?
  Are you planning to break your agreement with Rika? !
  Chen Ling's heart surged with intense anger at this moment.

Tmd doesn’t talk about martial ethics, right?

The credit of a big family is so worthless, right?

As soon as he sat up from the sofa, the door to the entrance was opened.

Under the warm light outside the door, there are people wrapped in night.

Her long black hair was gleaming in the silver-white moonlight, and her young name Rika stood at the door with a small bag and her own luggage.

Her right hand was still on the door handle, and her slightly cold eyes met Chen Ling's gaze.

"ri...rika?"

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

Is this a dream?
  Why is the eldest lady who was traveling in Kyoto in the afternoon now at home? Isn't she on a five-day trip? !
  "The school trip ended early?"

She looked at Chen Ling without saying a word. After a long while, she pushed the door open, turned around and closed the door. She put her luggage on the ground, took out her indoor shoes from the shoe cabinet and put them on before walking in to say goodbye. Living room less than three days old.

Meow-san circled around his eldest lady and rubbed his head against her, but Rika Shona was indifferent and did not stop.

Because he was too shocked, Chen Ling remained stunned on the sofa for a while, unable to react and help Rika pick up the things.

Until she put all the big and small bags on the sofa next to Chen Ling.

Only then did Chen Ling notice that Lixiang's eyes were filled with unconcealable exhaustion, her eyes were slightly drooped, her black hair was a little scattered, and she had a dusty appearance, which was so pitiful at this moment.

Rika Jina looked at Chen Ling who looked confused, and then looked at everything in the living room that had not changed. Her rapid heartbeat calmed down little by little.

She blinked slowly and let out a soft breath.

"Ling, why don't you reply to me."

Chen Ling's heart was beating, so he stood up first and straightened out the folds of his clothes.

"Just, as you can see, I fell asleep."

While the eldest lady raised her hand to touch Meow Sang, he took out his phone and looked at it.

There is a message sent by Hayao Aiyi more than two hours ago.

[Big brother, what’s wrong? Rika-chan suddenly said she wanted to go back early. Do you know what happened? 】

It’s broken. It’s broken.

During this time, I was busy and fell asleep when I got home, so I didn't look at my phone.

So my eldest daughter ended her school trip early and took the Shinkansen home?

So the purpose of going home... Obviously, it was because Chen Ling didn't reply to her messages for nearly a day.

I always feel that Chen Ling is not guilty of this, right?

555
  Now how to do?
  "Rika, let me pour you a cup of tea first."

"Ah."

She carried her things back into the room, and when she came out, there were two cups of steaming tea on the table.

The difference is that the water in her cup is more chocolate-colored.

"Hot cocoa, warm yourself up first. You haven't eaten yet, and so have I. How about going out for a meal later?"

The black-haired girl took a sip of the warm coffee-colored liquid, and the faint sweetness made her feel a little at ease in her heart.

"I don't want to go out."

That's right. After a long journey, it's okay to lie down at home.

"Then I'll feed you some."

Oh no, wouldn’t this sentence in Chinese be more...

Traditional culture is broad and profound.

As a Tokyo native, Rika certainly wouldn't have this kind of culture attack her head.

"Ah."

Then let’s have some plain noodles. The house hasn’t had a fire for three days and there’s no food.

When I am alone, I always like to be lazy.

Chen Ling slipped to the kitchen, filled the pot with water, turned on the gas stove, and while the water was boiling, chopped some green onions and minced garlic, and put seasonings and lard in the noodle bowl.

As for the chili... I'll skip it tonight.

However, the seasoning still needs to be a little heavier, and the plain water is too tasteless.

I can feel the gaze from behind.

Today's matter is indeed Chen Ling's problem. After all, it can be regarded as the culprit that caused Rika to end her only one study trip in high school early.

Otherwise, why not plead guilty?

Bring up the wattle sticks.

But when it comes to apologizing, I don’t know how to say it.

Or, Li Xiang...has actually noticed something?
  The next time didn't take long, just over ten minutes, and two bowls of noodles covered with soft-boiled eggs were brought to the table by Chen Ling.

During this period, Chen Ling also heard the eldest lady talking to someone on the phone.

"I'm extremely sorry. I really had something urgent to do, so I went home early and caused you a lot of trouble."

Probably communicating with teachers in school.

When he thought of this, Chen Ling felt even more guilty. He still blamed himself for not handling it well enough.

Although it was impossible not to let Rika know about this matter, Chen Ling thought that at least the eldest lady could spend the few days of the school trip happily.

But now, the plan is ruined.

After hanging up the phone, the black-haired girl Rika came to the kitchen, washed her hands in the sink, and sat down opposite Chen Ling.

"I'm gonna start now."

This has been her habit all along.

Use chopsticks to gently poke the soft-boiled egg, and the yolk liquid will flow out from the inside. Then start mixing the noodles, mix the seasonings well, and the egg yolk will also enter the noodle soup, making this bowl of noodles delicious.

Chen Ling was different. He drank the soft-boiled eggs in one gulp. He liked the feeling of satisfaction in one gulp.

In the past, when eating, Chen Ling always liked to chat with his eldest lady, but today, he just immersed himself in picking out the noodles amidst the chattering. A rare atmosphere of silence permeated the dining table.

After finishing the noodles, the bowl was put into the sink. When Rika Shona was about to step forward to wash the dishes, Chen Ling snatched her job in advance.

"I'll do it. Rika must be tired today."

Chen Ling turned his back to her, squeezed some dish soap into the sink, and started washing the dishes.

Rika Shona did not reply. She glanced at Chen Ling's back, returned to the living room, and took out a new comic from the bookcase. It was also recommended by Hayami Ai and she had not read it before.

She turned over the first page, but couldn't concentrate. The black-haired girl looked at the next life and the picture in black and white on the paper, and she was a little lost.

Until the sound of running water in the sink stopped.

Chen Ling wiped the water off his hands and looked up at the quartz clock on the wall.

It's almost nine o'clock at night.

Normally, at this point, Chen Ling could play for a while, but now, he walked to the bookshelf, took down the yellow Japanese textbook, and placed it on the table opposite Rika.

Sit down opposite each other and flip through from back to front, only a dozen pages are left.

He, Chen Ling, was able to completely read an entire book, which was inseparable from the eldest lady's daily urging.

Scroll forward a little and start reviewing.

"Don't you use your phone?"

Rika Rika suddenly asked, her dark beautiful eyes staring at Chen Ling's, making him feel a little uncomfortable for no reason.

"Work overtime today to finish the rest."

Even if the efficiency is only 20%, it is enough.

"Is that right?"

"OK."

After answering Lixiang, Chen Ling focused on his pornographic textbook.

Today's efficiency may be far from 20%.

Each other's thoughts are not in the book in front of them.

After Chen Ling completed the homework for this lesson, it seemed that he had only turned three or four pages of the manga named Rika Shona.

"rika, this comic doesn't look good?"

"Ok?"

She looked up at Chen Ling, looking slightly confused.

"After watching it for so long, I only read this much."

She pursed her lips and did not answer. She reached out and took the textbook and red pen in front of Chen Ling and started correcting.

Chen Ling struggled in his heart for a while and began to carefully open the topic of today's matter.

"Rika, I'm really sorry for causing you to be interrupted in the middle of your trip today."

"Ah."

The eldest lady responded casually, without raising her head, and continued to change the topic.

I'm scared of you like this, sister Rika.

I feel lacking in my heart.

"Well, will it be troublesome to explain it to the school?"

The black-haired girl shook her head slightly.

Ok.

She didn't seem to blame Chen Ling at all, and she could even feel a relaxed atmosphere.

"Then for the remaining few days, you don't have to go to school, so you can just squat at home?"

"Ah."

Chen Ling's homework this time was as bad as ever.

All ticks.

"How about we practice more new songs together then? We won't have to take vocal lessons for the time being, just think of it as a break."

"Ling, you can just make arrangements."

The familiar smell is back.

For both vocal classes, Chen Ling had communicated in advance about asking for leave, and now there was no need to communicate separately.

The accuracy rate of this assignment has remained stable at 20%.

Just today, Chen Ling has completed all the study of the classic Little Yellow Book. After all, he spends one or two hours studying every day and uses it all the time. In addition, it has been half a year, so it is relatively normal to finish the study.

Okay, I'm so awesome!

"Rika, how have you been spending the past two days in Kyoto? Are your classmates easy to talk to? Have you gotten lost?"

Rika Shona looked up at him, her eyes seemed to be a little helpless.

"Ling, I'm not a child."

But in my eyes, you are still a few years younger than me, and you are just my sister...right.

Chen Ling touched his head and showed an embarrassed smile.

Like an old man who worries about his sister everywhere.

"I'm just worried about you. After all, Rika's character looks like..."

His hesitation made Rika Rika fold her arms over her chest.

"What does it look like?"

"It's just not that easy to get along with."

"I was born this way."

OK OK.

In fact, I just hope that you can make a few more good friends and be happier.

Chen Ling shrugged and agreed.

He raised his head and glanced at the quartz clock on the wall again. Unconsciously, the hour hand had passed the ten position.

The black-haired boy sighed silently.

What is supposed to come will always come.

At this time, the black-haired girl was focusing on her wrist, which had a small bag tied with a red string.

Chen Ling stood up slowly and put the Japanese textbook he had finished studying back on the bookshelf. When he looked back at the eldest lady, she was trying to untie the red ribbon tied around her wrist.

"Rika, um, it's getting late. How about I just... go back today?"

The movements in the black-haired girl's hands stopped abruptly.

"go back?"

She couldn't help but frown, her delicate and beautiful face looking vaguely uneasy.

"Back to where?"

Feeling the pressure coming towards his face, Chen Ling swallowed hard.

"Just, I went to the rented apartment yesterday."

Jina Lixiang stood up and turned to walk to the guest bedroom where Chen Ling had been staying. The door of the room was closed, and she suddenly felt a feeling of anxiety filling her heart.

Turning the door handle and pushing the door open, the light in the living room illuminated part of the darkness in front of her.

The quilt was folded neatly without any wrinkles, unlike before, which was randomly folded every time I looked at it.

Everything that belonged to Chen Ling was gone, including the small alarm clock on the bedside, the clothes in the closet, and the small four-dimensional plastic bag that was always placed in the corner with strange things inside.

And, that computer that used to be on the desk.

With his back to Chen Ling, he could not clearly see the expression of the black-haired girl, but the tense atmosphere in the air never let up for a moment.

"Do you want to move out?"

Hearing her voice, Chen Ling's heart suddenly began to feel hollow.

It was like someone had dug up a piece of land.

On Sunday morning, Chen Ling woke up naturally and leisurely like yesterday, then had breakfast and prepared to go to Shuimu Qianyue's recording studio to practice with them.

After breakfast and a short rest, as soon as Chen Ling turned on 0Shen, a call reminder from his brother Naoki Naoki popped up on his phone.

What's going on with the sudden call at 11 or 2 o'clock?
  When I was about to click answer, the other party hung up again.

I called back and it said busy.

Either he was actually calling someone else, or he was hung up on.

which type?
  It's impossible to just call him and then turn around and call someone else a few seconds later, right? Is Naoki such a rude child?

The only possibility: something happened.

The first thing Chen Ling thought of was what the system said.

Was that photo discovered? Or is it that the inner ghost Naoki has been caught and will lose such a powerful help in the future?
  While his thoughts were wandering, the doorbell at the entrance rang.

?

The only people who know about this place, apart from Zaomi Aiyi, are... the main family of Jiao Ming.

Chen Ling's heart skipped a beat. He quietly and slowly approached the door, looking through the peephole to see what was going on outside.

Long time no see, little brother Naoki.

And... beside him, there was a beautiful lady who had some resemblance to Rika Shona.

Naoki Naoki's eyes were looking into the cat's eyes, and Chen Ling could feel his hidden gaze. Who is this young celebrity next to him?

Seeing no reply for a long time, the lady reached out and rang the doorbell again.

Chen Ling was a little embarrassed. If he spoke out, the matter would definitely be exposed. So just keep silent. Judging from Naoki Naoki's demeanor, the matter was probably more serious.

He was silent for a while, until the noble lady took the initiative to speak out: "Hello, I am Lixiang's mother. I know about you and Lixiang. I came to visit today to talk to you about this matter. "

She looked at the peephole on the door with a very polite expression on her face, but there was an unquestionable attitude in her words.

It is also somewhat similar to rika.

This is really...

You can be sure that what the system is talking about is what it is now.

Chen Ling's presence was noticed.

He saw Naoki Naoki nodded his head slightly.

Take a deep breath and calm down.

This situation will have to be faced sooner or later.

Chen Ling opened the door and tried his best to show a calm and polite expression, but unexpectedly, Rika's mother bowed slightly first, and Naoki, who was beside her, also greeted Chen Ling in this way.

"Hello."

"Um...hello."

Chen Ling had no choice but to return the favor.

It has to be said that the timing of the Wakina family's visit was very tricky. It happened to be when Rika was not at home. They probably knew that if Rika was at home or in Tokyo, unknown changes might occur.

As a mother, it is impossible not to know the temperament of her daughter.

All I can say is that I was tricked.

"Can I take you some time?"

Chen Ling nodded.

"But I may need to contact you in advance to cancel some arrangements for the afternoon."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, but please don't tell Li Xiang about my visit. It may lead to some consequences that neither party wants to see."

Lixiang's mother always had a polite smile on her lips, but her eyes were always looking at Chen Ling.

It's understandable. After all, he is a man who lives secretly with the eldest daughter of his family, so this kind of scrutiny is inevitable.

"You mean, you just want to discuss it with me?"

private?

"exactly."

That was too kind a word.

In other words, I hope he will do something unilaterally.

Bypass rika's idea.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll take care of things. You guys come in first?"

I don’t know if Lixiang and Naoki’s mother likes Nyan Commander in it.

Because there is a stranger at the door, it is still watching in the living room.

Lixiang's mother shook her head slightly.

"You should know the agreement between Lixiang and my family. It is inappropriate to come here for a private visit, and it is even more inappropriate to enter her apartment. I have reserved a suitable location in advance. Can you move over and come with us? ?”

Damn it, you're going to take away my home field advantage right away, right?
  But there seems to be no other way.

Chen Ling pursed his lips and agreed.

"Then, please come to us."

As expected, people from the Zhongming family all pretend to be who they are. Even though their tone is kind and their expressions are calm, who knows if they really want Chen Ling in their hearts?

"Okay, let me get ready."

Chen Ling closed the door and started to change her shoes. Fortunately, she changed out of her pajamas as soon as she got up. Otherwise, it might make Li Xiang's mother even more unhappy?

After a minute or two, Chen Ling was ready and set off with the eldest lady's mother and younger brother.

Unexpectedly, they also traveled by taxi.

Lixiang's mother called a taxi and waited below.

It seemed that he was sure that Chen Ling would agree to go.

Getting into the taxi, Chen Ling and Naoki Sumana sat in the back, and Lixiang's mother sat in the passenger seat.

After she gave the driver an address, the car started its engine and started driving on the cement road.

Shouldn't a big family like this bring their own car when they go out? Taking a taxi so low-key now was really beyond Chen Ling's expectation.

"This visit is out of my personal wishes, so it is better to keep a low profile."

Both of you, mother and daughter, are roundworms in other people's stomachs, right? You know exactly what I think, and I'm afraid you will be manipulated by the Shonami family.

Chen Ling nodded silently.

The three of them fell into an eerie silence in the taxi.

During this period, I also received a photo from Rika, but Chen Ling is currently unable to reply.

From the moment we first met, Naoki Naoki next to me has been silent. Now in the taxi, he is still looking straight at me and sitting upright.

Are you so afraid of your mother?
  Also, if your affair is exposed, then you have indeed done something bad, so you should be more cowardly.

Chen Ling quietly touched brother Naoki with his elbow, and then winked at him.

As a result, I saw Naoki's handsome face with a bitter look on it.

Okay, I guess you can't be of much help here.

After that, the three of them did not communicate again until they entered the private room reserved by Lixiang's mother in advance.

It would be better to say that Naoki Wakina became the escort who followed him throughout the whole process and said nothing.

The waiter in a tuxedo closed the private room door, and there were only three people left in the quiet space.

This will be a fierce battle.

"What would you like to eat?"

Chen Ling took the menu in her hand and opened it to look at it.

(Grandpa Subway)
  What? Five thousand yen for a piece of tamagoyaki?
  Was your egg laid by a golden rooster?
  happy.

Chen Ling pursed his lips and returned the menu to Lixiang's mother.

"I can do that, just keep an eye on it."

You can't say that you don't want to eat. After all, their current attitude is to focus on discussion. Chen Ling didn't intend to just flip the chessboard.

"You don't have to be formal."

I'm really not restrained, I just miss the food from my hometown.

"It's better that you make the decision."

I have never felt that any conversation is more tiring than now, it's so weird.

"I understand."

What this said cannot be said to be exactly the same as Rika's, I can only say that it is completely consistent.

After calling the waiter in and ordering the food, the room became quiet again.

"May I ask your surname?"

Finally, it’s time to get to the point. After all, we don’t have the opportunity to have a meal together “in peace and harmony” like now, right?

Chen Ling thought for a few seconds and gave the answer.

"My name is Nanye Ling, and I am the producer of Rika Group."

These words made Rika's mother look a little surprised.

"It seems that the photo circulating is true."

Sure enough, the photo was sent out.

Although the other party did not associate "Nan Ye Ling" with the strange man living in his daughter's house just now, Chen Ling still chose to explain it in advance. After all, if there was someone else living in his daughter's house, and the guy on the table was who?

It will have an impact on Rika's reputation.

"Mr. Nanye is very strong in music. Thank you for taking care of and supporting my daughter in singing."

"You're welcome. In this regard, Rika and I have a mutually supportive relationship."

"What about other aspects?"

The way to find the angle is also surprisingly consistent.

Chen Ling pursed his lips and said nothing, which was equivalent to taking whatever you said.

How can you say that you and she are just partners when we both live together?

That would be great fun.

"Miss Shimona, can I ask you a question?"

Why do you call her so young? Because Lixiang's mother looks really young and calm.

It’s not that I want to get close.

"Tell me everything you know."

I do not believe.

"How did you know that I live with Rika... now?"

"Mr. Nanno, as long as you walk out of that apartment, even if we are abiding by the agreement with Lixiang, there will always be times when we are discovered. Privacy is guaranteed - this kind of rule does not mean that we should ignore you two if we see you walking by. If not."

Impeccable answer.

And he couldn't stay at home forever.

"Ok."

"Then can I continue to ask questions?"

Rika's mother continued.

"Please."

"So what is Mr. Nanno's current relationship with Rika?"

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment.

this problem……

"I have no idea."

Lixiang's mother nodded.

"I understand."

What do you understand?

"In fact, I don't care too much about Lixiang's relationship between men and women."

"Aha?"

"There is no need for me to lie to you, Mr. Minano."

The mother named Lixiang spoke firmly.

"I never said I wouldn't let her have a normal relationship."

But in such an environment, how could ordinary people think that way?
  Chen Ling doesn't make any comments.

"Currently Lixiang's father doesn't know anything about you and Lixiang. As the mother of that child, I think it is necessary to discuss the future matters with you now."

Why is this situation so complicated?

So what's going on with Lixiang's mother?
  She continued: "Please make a deal with me."

Chen Ling blinked and looked at Naoki Naoki.

"Naoki can still do what he wants to do in the future, and I won't interfere."

This was beyond their expectations.

what?

"I won't pursue the matter between Lixiang and you, but there is something I need you to agree to."

"what?"

Chen Ling was already a little numb.

Why don't you play according to the routine?
  "Association is based on a certain limit, and unions between men and women are prohibited. To prevent crossing the line, can you please move out, and I will pay for the rent for you. And... the relationship between you can only exist during high school. "

Now, Chen Ling has some understanding.

It's to let him and Rika draw a clear line, and they can really fall in love, but they can't love each other forever, is that right?

"But what good will it do to me?"

He was having trouble calming down, and his voice was slightly trembling.

"You will not encounter any difficulties in developing music, and Lixiang will be able to get what she wants to experience within the prescribed limits."

"Stipulated range?"

"You should know that Lixiang has the responsibility and obligation to get in touch with the upper class after graduating from high school."

Thank you for speaking so cryptically.

Chen Ling was a little angry.

"But now she has more than a year left to have free love, and... I will also tell her father about what happens next, and she can be allowed to choose the people she contacts within a certain range. Of course, the range will be determined by the family. Come and decide.”

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

He is still a caged bird, but he thinks he has given her enough.

"What if I don't agree?"

The mother named Lixiang looked at Chen Ling, her tone still polite and courteous.

"I can only take back the apartment and Lixiang's bank cards, stop other study-related activities, transfer to another school and return to my hometown."

"Are you planning to deprive Rika of everything again?"

The lady lowered her eyes slightly, but had no regrets.

"Everyone who is born into a child's family is born with a responsibility that cannot be relieved. This is not what I insist on. If the deal is not established, the final result will only be like this."

……

"So, Chen Ling, this is the result you came up with?"

The tea leaves in the teacup were swirling, and Rika's voice was so calm that it felt heartbreaking.

"I'm thinking... maybe we can think about it in the long term. Your mother only asked me to move out and didn't prohibit me from entering your house. I just need to go back to my apartment at night. Although it's a bit far from here, it's only half an hour's walk away. It’s still acceptable. But I should pay the rent myself, it’s not like I can’t afford it.”

The black-haired girl looked into his eyes and remained silent.

"Rika, don't worry, I will rush over to help you prepare the lunch box."

"That's not what I need."

Chen Ling opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say now.

"No matter what, at least it can continue to develop like this. At home, of course, the sooner we become hostile, the better."

The black-haired girl stared at the coffee-colored liquid in her tea cup, sighing silently from her mouth.

"Is this your own idea?"

Chen Ling looked at the dark-haired girl's seemingly numb face and felt a little tight in her heart.

"Probably, yes."

In order to gain some more development time.

On Rika's slender wrist, the guard tied with a red string was shaking gently.

"I understand."

　Keep it up, this state won’t last long. Don’t be impatient. As the saying goes, parting is for a better encounter~

　　In addition, Rika-chan is so careful that everyone helps with owo every day, you do it, I do it, and tomorrow Rika will be out of the circle~
