Chapter 79 - 75: The First Discussion of Marriage—The Groom Is Here!

Chapter 79: Chapter 75: The First Discussion of Marriage—The Groom Is Here!

In a room of a star-rated hotel.

Aoyama Xiu Xin was also watching the news about the submission of Mikami Yasuko’s case, blissfully unaware of the real culprit mocking him from some dark corner.

Well, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

"You mock me for my lack of investigative skills."

"But I mock you for not understanding how to earn merits."

"Go take a shower." At this moment, Asai Ayumi, wrapped in a bath towel, stepped out from the bathroom, her hair bundled up and damp, revealing her fair, long, and enticing legs, with a few water droplets that hadn’t been dried sliding down her leg curves.

Right after work today, she had been dragged to the hotel by Aoyama Xiu Xin, who had intentionally chosen one far from the Police Headquarters.

After all, their affair couldn’t be exposed now.

Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t respond to her, his eyes fixed on the TV reporting about himself, and without turning his head, he casually asked, "Do you think I’m ’the bomb’?"

Solo venture, breaking the case in two days, freaking awesome!

"I’ll take a look once you’re clean." Hearing this, Asai Ayumi’s pretty face blushed as she cast a glance at Aoyama Xiu Xin and said.

Aoyama Xiu Xin turned his head and stared at her blankly.

What the hell kind of wild language are you using.

Feeling confused, Asai Ayumi blinked her eyes, "Is there something on my face?"

"No flowers on your face, but there is on your body," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied seriously and got up to head to the bathroom.

Planning to come out clean and water the flowers.

However, when he came out clean, he found that Asai Ayumi had already dressed up and was in a rush to leave, baffled, "What’s the matter?"

"My dad asked me to come back immediately, seems like something important, so no choice, I really can’t stay with you," Asai Ayumi said as she picked up her bag and left.

"Not... this..." Aoyama Xiu Xin, a bit dumbfounded, watched her leave. I was about to nitpick, and you just leave like that?

But with Asai Youki calling her back, and seemingly so urgently, Aoyama Xiu Xin couldn’t well force her to stay. After all, he had some sense of what was more or less important.

He could only watch as the butterfly flew away.

The room was opened, it couldn’t have been for nothing, and the room bill was paid by Asai Ayumi. Adhering to the principle of not wasting her money, Aoyama Xiu Xin called Mrs. Yanahara.

Inviting her to graciously come to the hotel.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

And at that moment, a knock on the door.

Aoyama Xiu Xin opened the door, and to his surprise, it was Asai Ayumi coming back. He immediately said to Mrs. Yanahara on the phone, "Madam, you don’t need to come anymore."

At that, he hung up.

"Madam? Must be some aged lady, huh?" Asai Ayumi appeared to be in a bad mood and mocked sarcastically, "Looks like you’re really starving!"

"Why are you back?" Aoyama Xiu Xin generously ignored her mockery and curiously asked.

Asai Ayumi dropped onto the couch, annoyed, "Turns out Nipponjiro was arriving in Tokyo tonight and my dad wanted me to pick him up at the airport. I refused, using the excuse that I’m leading an operation."

After saying that, she lifted her head and looked at Aoyama Xiu Xin with furrowed brows, "Regarding the arrangement my family is making with Nipponjiro, have you come up with a solution?"

"I do have a method," Aoyama Xiu Xin sat beside her, pulling her into his arms, whispering soothingly, "Just marry me."

Wanting to go into politics, one must get married, after all, being unattached and unburdened would scare people.

And to go further, with insufficient family backing, a reliable wife was needed; both Asai Ayumi and her family background were quite suitable.

The key was with his current status, he wouldn’t catch the eye of someone of higher birth, and had it not been for a fluke that he got a hold on Asai Ayumi, he wouldn’t even have this chance.

"Don’t ask if I agree, my family definitely won’t," Asai Ayumi rolled her eyes.

Aoyama Xiu Xin, having proposed this, had certainly planned ahead, "Once the ATM project is on track, I’ll have Yanchuan Xianyou step forward to propose to your family on my behalf, then you tell your family that you’re pregnant with my child. There shouldn’t be any resistance then."

By marrying Asai Ayumi, the future position of Police Chief was almost in his pocket, and the connections the Asakai family had built over the years would help him climb the ranks.

At least it would save him a 20-year detour.

"Do you really want to marry me?" Asai Ayumi looked straight at Aoyama Xiu Xin’s handsome face and said, "But didn’t you say you have high moral standards and a bottom line that you would never cheat? After marriage, you can’t flirt around."

In truth, she had long been mentally prepared to marry Aoyama Xiu Xin, knowing this guy definitely wouldn’t let go of such a quality wife.

After all, to put it bluntly, Aoyama Xiu Xin couldn’t marry a better woman than her right now.

And she wasn’t opposed to marrying Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Because she didn’t want to marry into a rich family and be a trophy wife, just to bear children and teach them; she had her own ambitions to fulfill.

"Ugh, never mind, I can make sacrifices in that area for you, I’m willing to lower my moral standards and bottom line," Aoyama Xiu Xin said sincerely.

His bottom line is as flexible as his underwear.

Ready to be taken off at any moment, just as ready to be pulled up.

Asai Ayumi’s pretty face turned cold with anger, teeth itching with frustration at his shameless brazenness, "Why don’t you just die!"

"You talk as if you marrying Nipponjiro would ensure he’d remain chaste for you," Aoyama Xiu Xin sneered as he began to unbutton her suit, trying to persuade her, "Marrying a guy like Nipponjiro, you’ll surely be forced to resign and stay home to bear and raise children, but I’m different, I support your career, and I’m even willing to help you."

"The key point is, you don’t have a choice, if you don’t want the Asakai family to be humiliated, you’ll have to marry me. Anyway, my dear police chief, I’m dead set on you for life."

A real man, even if he’s being supported by a woman, he forces the issue, not just waiting around for handouts!

"Actually, marrying you is a disgrace to the Asakai family in itself," Asai Ayumi said with a bizarre look in her eyes, weakly spouting a harsh truth.

Aoyama Xiu Xin’s smile stiffened, as he retorted word by word, "Your words, they really f*cking hurt!"

Damn it, these snobby aristocrats, looking down on us from the working class, huh? Just wait till I become Prime Minister then I’m gonna make you all f*cking drop dead!

He was a bit infuriated and humiliated.

Watching his agitated state, Asai Ayumi felt incredibly satisfied, a proud smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

"If you can really persuade Yanchuan Xianyou to propose a marriage for you, then what can I say, can I even resist? I’d reluctantly accept my fate and marry you."

She indeed had reached the suitable age for marriage; better to marry off early than to be used as a tool for an alliance later.

"Alright, it’s settled then," Aoyama Xiu Xin decided to end the topic, "I’m planning to get rid of Jin Cheng Heiji and Takizawa Mapu, and replace them with Fujimoto Ryosuke and Nakamura Shinichi."

"Hmm~ be gentle, Jin Cheng Heiji often runs to Police Chief Hattori’s office, he’s probably Hattori’s guy, without a good reason, it’s going to be hard to move him."

"I’ll give you a good reason!" Aoyama Xiu Xin wasn’t going to wait for Jin Cheng Heiji to make his move before striking back, he always preferred to take the initiative.

Asai Ayumi hummed affirmatively with a nasal voice.

The room soon filled with the sounds of moaning, interspersed with a jumble of complex vocabulary.

Asai Ayumi didn’t go to pick up Nipponjiro, deliberately rushing back to Tokyo, leaving Asai Ze Xi no choice but to go alone.

If his grandfather were still alive, he wouldn’t need to be overly enthusiastic toward the grandson of a subordinate, but since the old man had passed, he had to humble himself.

"Erlang, over here! Long time no see!"

Upon seeing Nipponjiro at the exit, the usually stoic Asai Ze Xi couldn’t help but show a radiant smile.

As a Kanagawa Prefecture County Councilor, and someone with political aspirations, how could he actually be indifferent? He was just too lazy to play the part normally, but in a situation that called for a smile, he could outshine anyone with his warm and sunny demeanor.

"Brother Ze Xi," Nipponjiro too revealed a smile, stepping forward to embrace Asai Ze Xi, and then asked, "Ayumi didn’t come?"

He was three years older than Asai Ayumi, not exactly robust, but definitely not short, and with good looks that gave a refreshing feeling when he smiled.

"She’s on a mission tonight," Asai Ze Xi explained smoothly, taking Nipponjiro’s suitcase, "Let’s go, I’ll take you home first."

"Well then, I thought I’d see Ayumi right after getting off the plane," Nipponjiro shook his head and then patted Asai Ze Xi’s shoulder, "But I’m happy to see Brother Ze Xi, especially since you, a promising councilor, came in person to pick me up."

"Stop it with the jokes, I’m just a county councilor. If you were interested, you could easily get elected as well," Asai Ze Xi said shaking his head.

"No interest here," Nipponjiro replied as he climbed into the car, continuing, "I’m only interested in doing business and making money. The boring stuff like following in my father’s political footsteps, that can be left to my older brother."

"Oh, you," Asai Ze Xi shook his head.

"By the way," Nipponjiro said casually after fastening his seatbelt, "I’ve heard that Ayumi’s gotten quite close to some young cop, it’s not too late for me, is it?"

"Who told you that? That’s nonsense," Asai Ze Xi kept a straight face, saying with a grin, "Ayumi’s been looking forward to the return of her childhood playmate. How could her heart have room for someone else?"

He felt a bit somber, knowing that if Nipponjiro brought it up, it wasn’t said lightly. It looked like he would have to thoroughly investigate this matter.

He had been neglectful in his guardianship over Ayumi in recent years.

"That’s a relief, I was really worried the girl who used to say she wanted to marry me when she was little would marry someone else," Nipponjiro joked.

"Hahaha, relax, Erlang, I only acknowledge you as my brother-in-law, nobody else stands a chance!"

..............

Aoyama Xiu Xin and Asai Ayumi didn’t stay in the hotel overnight, after finishing their affair, they discreetly left separately.

It was still early, and he wasn’t in a rush to go home.

Instead, he arranged to meet with Yamakawa Ichiro.

Having vented his desires and now in a state of post-coital clarity, Aoyama Xiu Xin thought quickly, having just come up with a solution to the Jin Cheng Heiji problem.

But, he needed Yamakawa Ichiro’s help to pull it off.
