At dinner time, the kitchen was filled with an enticing aroma as Ayako skillfully prepared a series of delicious dishes.
Compared to her younger sister Sonoko, who only knew how to eat, Ayako undoubtedly displayed the demeanor and talent befitting a lady from a respectable family.
She not only perfectly inherited her mother's keen business acumen, but her culinary skills are also top-notch.
Whether it's the delicious and visually appealing Japanese cuisine or the exquisite and elegant Western pastries, she can handle them all with ease.
When the family decided to send Ayako to the marriage alliance, they valued her outstanding abilities.
With her wisdom and methods, she could easily sideline her marriage partner and thus gain more benefits for her family.
As for Sonoko, let her stay at home, eat and wait to die, have a child, and someone will naturally help her solve any problems that arise.
"Uh~ My sister's cooking skills are getting better and better."
After dinner, Sonoko patted her round little belly contentedly, then lazily lay down on the sofa and let out a burp without any regard for her image.
Yuzuru took down the Cup of Life and beckoned everyone to gather around, "Come on, everyone, one cup each! But don't be greedy, or you might accidentally turn into a cute little loli!"
He joked as he filled each of the baijiu glasses in front of him with his liquor.
He had already explained the effects of the Cup of Life in detail at the dinner table.
However, apart from Ai, the other girls' focus was not on the exciting topic of immortality at all.
"If we drink this, will we stay young and beautiful forever?!"
Sonoko excitedly held her cup, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. When she saw Yuzuru nod in confirmation, she immediately downed the cup in one gulp.
Although the others were not as eager as she was, they all picked up their glasses and took a small sip.
After all, for girls, staying young forever is undoubtedly their greatest desire, while the alluring condition of immortality takes a backseat.
A magical power flowed slowly through the women's bodies, and their skin became smoother and more delicate at a visible speed, and their eyes became brighter and more captivating, as if sparkling with starlight.
"Wow, Ran, you look so supple! Like a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg!" Kazuha exclaimed in amazement, reaching out to pinch Ran's exposed arm.
The skin was so incredibly soft and supple that even a light touch left a faint red mark on Xiaolan's fair skin.
Ran was a little embarrassed by Kazuha's exaggerated reaction: "Kazuha, you're the same, your skin is so white and smooth."
"Oh my, I think I can totally enter the entertainment industry now and become a superstar! No matter what popular idols, movie queens, or veteran actors they are, none of them can compete with me! This young lady will definitely become the most dazzling star!"
Sonoko looked in the mirror, confidently tossed her hair, and boasted smugly.
If Yukiko, who was carefully preparing for her comeback at home, heard these words, she would definitely give the young people of today a good lesson.
Let them understand what it means to be the youngest Best Actress.
Do you even know what it means to be popular worldwide?
...
After drinking the water of life, the women played and frolicked for a while before taking their leave.
"Did you tell Aunt Jinghua about what happened yesterday?"
Sitting on the sofa, Yuu Nan waved to Kazuha when he saw her return after dropping Ran off.
The Morizono family wedding is still being held as scheduled today. Regardless of who Katagiri Kaede ultimately chooses, she must accompany Morizono Kikuto to ensure the wedding goes smoothly.
The sudden police raid yesterday had already plunged the Mori family into a considerable media storm. If the wedding were to be canceled the following day, the Mori family's reputation would be completely ruined, and who knows what rumors would circulate outside.
Kazuha walked briskly to Yuzuru's side and sat down naturally next to him. "I've already told Aunt Jinghua about what happened yesterday."
As she spoke, her petite figure unconsciously moved a little closer to Yu Shengnan.
Upon hearing Kazuha's reply, Yuzuru's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "That's good. What did Aunt Shizuka say?"
Kazuha gently rested her head on Yuzuru's broad shoulder, feeling the warmth emanating from his body, and softly replied, "Aunt Jinghua said she understands the situation, and she specifically asked me to convey her gratitude to you."
Yu Shengnan smiled slightly, "It's only right. Since Aunt Jinghua is so good to my family and Ye, I, as her boyfriend, should of course respect her."
Kazuha tilted her head back, her water-green eyes gazing at Yuusuke's profile, her gaze filled with tenderness. "Yuusuke, it's so wonderful to have you by my side."
"Of course, I will always be by your side," Yuzuru said tenderly, uttering touching words of love.
His slender fingers weaved back and forth through Kazuha's high ponytail, the pink ribbon tied to it swaying slightly with his movements, seemingly whispering the joy and shyness that welled up deep within the heart of this young girl in the prime of her youth.
For a moment, the air was quiet, with only the soft breathing of the two of them mingling together.
Kazuha gazed intently at his face, her eyes sparkling as if they held a thousand stars.
Young women who have just experienced a major life transition are often in a state of both happiness and vulnerability.
Because they have already given away their most precious possessions.
Feeling Kazuha's burning gaze, Yuu Nan gently cupped her face, his movements as tender as if he were handling a rare treasure. He placed a kiss on her smooth forehead, then lifted her up in his arms.
Time for bed~
Kazuha's face instantly flushed red, but she wrapped her arms even tighter around Yuzuru's neck.
"Should we admit defeat today?"
"No...I don't acknowledge it..."
"Oh ho, then you're going to lose really badly~"
The night grew increasingly tranquil, and the whole world was immersed in this beautiful atmosphere.
