Chapter: 1473

Tanaka Hirokazu brought Koshiba Jiro to Minako Itoh's office. As soon as Koshiba Jiro saw Minako Itoh, he was taken aback!

He couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "My goodness! This woman is so stunning! So pure!"

Her eyes were like a masterpiece of refined art, shining with clarity and radiance. Her face was as smooth as an eggshell, with a nose so fine it looked like a precious gem. Her lips were as delicate as cherry blossoms, inviting and tantalizing.

In Shibata Jiro's eyes, she seemed like the crystal-clear water at the bottom of a snow-capped mountain, serene, tranquil, and gentle, with a hint of coldness.

But this face was enough to make Shibata Jiro deeply fall in love with her and secretly vow to marry her no matter what. He even would not hesitate to enter into an arranged marriage with the Itoh family if it meant he could be with her.

Shibata Jiro struggled to suppress his deep longing for Minako Itoh, but she still discovered a hint of uncontrollable desire in his eyes.

This made her feel uneasy and thought Shibata Jiro's gaze was like a drop of stinky oil poured into a cup of fine tea.

However, she didn't want to show her discomfort and could only be very polite, saying "Minako-san, please forgive me for keeping you waiting."

Shibata Jiro hastily waved his hand, saying "No need to apologize, Minako-san. I'm the one who's being impertinent by dropping in uninvited. Please don't mind it."

As he spoke, Shibata Jiro let out a deep sigh of regret, lamenting "I arrived at Jingling this morning just after completing the immigration procedures and then came straight here. Unfortunately, I missed seeing Minako-san's match at the gym today. It's really frustrating to hear that Minako-san won with only one round."

"Ito NaNa said, 'Mr. Kobayashi is being too polite.'"

"From now on, Ito NaNa's every match, I will definitely be there to cheer her on and give her support!"

"It's no secret that my Kobayashi Pharmaceutical has sponsored the final round of this competition, and when the time comes, I will personally present the trophy to Ito NaNa. I'm already impatiently looking forward to that day."

Ito NaNa humbly said, 'Before the competition is over, nobody knows who will be crowned champion. Even with confidence in my abilities, I wouldn't dare say I'll definitely win.'

Kobayashi Ichiro hastily replied, "I believe Ito NaNa won't have any problems!"

Ito NaNa smiled and thought of her father's instructions, saying, 'Mr. Kobayashi, it's already noon. How about we stay here together and take a lunch break?'

As soon as he heard this, Kobayashi Ichiro's entire heart was racing with excitement, exclaiming, "It's an honor to share lunch with Ito NaNa!"

Ito NaNa told Tanaka Hiroshi, 'Tanaka-san, please follow us into the presidential suite dining room and serve our lunch there.'

In reality, Ito NaNa, despite being a Japanese top aristocrat, has always been independent-minded and rarely needs many people to attend to her like other rich kids.

So, in daily life, she never lets Tanaka Hiroshi accompany her while eating. But today, she really didn't want to be alone with Kobayashi Ichiro, so she decided to keep him by her side as a buffer."

As soon as Tanaka Hiroshi heard this, he naturally nodded without hesitation. Kobayashi Ichiro was still assuming that Ito NaNa was accustomed to having someone attend her during meals, so he didn't think much of it, after all, even when dining at a hotel, there would be service staff around.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Ito NaNa and Kobayashi Ichiro sat facing each other.

Because the presidential suite was quite spacious, the restaurant was also extremely luxurious, with one long rectangular Western-style table that could accommodate at least 12 people having lunch together.

So, the two of them sat facing each other at the Western-style table's edge, which created a certain distance between them, making Ito NaNa feel slightly more at ease.

After Kobayashi Ichiro sat down, he took the initiative to start a conversation with Ito NaNa, saying, "Miss Ito, you must have been in Jinling for quite some time now, right?" JrNovels.com
