Chapter 159 Misae Hayakawa Feels Insecure

"Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

Seeing Hayakawa Misae standing there in a daze, Sei Junichi gave her a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa Misae snapped out of her daze and shook her head absentmindedly.

The authorization letter for shares worth 3 billion yen sounded like a dream to Misae Hayakawa.

No, it's more accurate to say that I've never even dreamed of it, or rather, I dare not imagine it.

This string of numbers was far too distant for her, an ordinary person.

It felt extremely hot to the touch just by holding it in my hands.

What's more, the Audi R8 car keys above still retain the warmth of someone's touch.

Although he had guessed Hayakawa Misae's reaction, the fact that she didn't ask any further questions puzzled Junichi.

Aren't they curious about how they acquired this wealth?

There was even a draft that Junichi Sei had racked his brains to come up with, leaving him with a sense of helplessness as it all came to nothing.

Originally, he had hoped to see expressions of admiration and adoration on the woman's face that would greatly satisfy his vanity. But in reality, aside from the initial surprise, there was only silence, and more silence.

Or have they been blinded by this string of numbers?

This same emotion was also present in Sakuno. Junichi Se had no interest in it, so he didn't explain much in the elevator. But in front of this woman, it was more intense than he had imagined, as if he wanted to prove something to her and gain more of her attention.

Instead of always being treated like a child, or someone who simply depends on others for survival, trying to please themselves, or fearing themselves.

The thought of this made Junichi inexplicably annoyed.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he noticed that the other person's shoulders seemed to be trembling, so much so that the document bag wrapped in kraft paper had become covered with stains.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying!"

Junichi was a little flustered.

Hayakawa Misae freed one hand, wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand, and said in a low voice, "Once Junichi-kun has money, more and more women will appear around you. At that time, Sakuno and I will have to move out sooner or later, even if it is not Junichi-kun's original intention."

Upon hearing this, Sei Junichi's heart softened, and he chuckled, "What are you thinking? I promised Father I would take good care of you, how could I abandon you?"

"But……"

Misae Hayakawa wanted to say something more.

"No buts, no ifs, no 'what ifs.' If anyone says such stupid things in my ear, I'll make them disappear!"

Junichi Sei's attitude left no room for argument.

At this moment, Junichi couldn't help but feel sorry for the other person's cautiousness.

Upon learning of his immense wealth, the other party's first reaction was not to doubt him or care about the use of the money, but rather to fear that Junichi would attract more outstanding women because of this wealth, thereby losing his own value and being kicked out of the house.

Hearing Junichi Sei's firm statement, Misae Hayakawa's anxiety was immediately dispelled, and she was moved to tears: "Junichi-kun!"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being so slow-witted. I haven't been able to take care of your and Sakuno's feelings. I will work harder in the future. I won't allow anyone to interfere in this family!"

Junichi was filled with self-blame and slowly opened his arms, wanting to give the other person a little more sense of security.

Hayakawa Misae clasped her hands together in front of her chest and involuntarily took a step forward.

Click!

"Oh dear, sister, why are you crying?"

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, revealing Hayakawa Miki with a completely bewildered expression.

Hayakawa Misae was startled and realized that she and Junichi were almost touching. She quickly took a step back, blushing, and said, "No, it's nothing. I got some sand in my eye and wanted Junichi to take a look."

"Is there something you need?"

Hayakawa Miki looked at the two of them suspiciously, then pouted and complained, "I wanted to scare you at the door, but you didn't come out for a long time. Then I heard you crying, so I came in to check on you."

As she spoke, Hayakawa Miki playfully stuck out her tongue.

Hayakawa Misae was both annoyed and amused. She immediately shoved the documents and keys back into Sei Junichi's hands, and as if she were about to run away, she pushed her sister away, saying, "It's alright, let's go out."

"Really?" Hayakawa Miki was a little confused. Seeing that she was about to be pushed out the door, she muttered to herself, "Then why does Oase-kun look like he's about to eat someone alive?"

At the same time, Hayakawa Miki could clearly feel the push on her shoulder pause for a moment, but then the force increased.

"Sister, be gentle, I'm about to fall."

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here."

"..."

As the door closed again, Junichi Se looked like he had seen a ghost.

It's always the same.

It's either Sakuno or this idiot, can't you give them a little more personal space?

It's like a persistent ghost!

However, judging from this incident, Junichi Sei has finally confirmed that Misae Hayakawa has the typical mindset of a housewife in Japan. She doesn't care too much about how much money the man in the family earns. She is content with a modest income, obediently manages everything at home, and serves her family.

They might even feel uneasy because the other party is suddenly so good at making money, and become anxious for fear of losing their value.

Because of long-term disconnection from society and lack of stable employment, they become suspicious and paranoid at the slightest sign of trouble, lacking a sense of security and emotional value.

Therefore, in Japan, the rates of infidelity and divorce remain consistently high.

At the moment, Junichi Sei hasn't mentioned the 150-square-meter Higanbana apartment yet. Given Misae Hayakawa's tendency to overthink, mentioning it would only cause her unease.

Having a house outside doesn't mean you can have another woman as the mistress of that house, right?

It's better to say nothing than to leave a thorn in someone's heart.

If people found out he was hooking up with a scheming woman, his reputation would be ruined.

Let him bear this pain alone; kind-hearted Misae doesn't need to know.

...

Nothing was said that night.

The next morning, Junichi led Misae Hayakawa to the underground parking garage.

When the R8 beeped twice under Junichi Sei's car key, Misae Hayakawa realized that she wasn't dreaming.

Little did anyone expect that the luxury car mentioned by the group of middle-aged women dancing the "Awa Odori" in the community square actually belonged to Junichi.

Perhaps because it was her first time riding in a luxury car, Misae Hayakawa was very nervous as soon as she got in. She was breathing heavily, and sweat kept sliding down her neck and onto her chest.

Are you hot?

Junichi turned the temperature down to the lowest setting and handed a tissue to the other person: "Here, wipe yourself off!"

Misae Hayakawa was a little embarrassed. She took the tissue and turned to the car window, carefully wiping the sweat from her collar.

Little did she know that the rearview mirror outside the passenger seat had recorded her every little movement perfectly...
