Chapter: 1968

As soon as they reached the main hall entrance, Ito NaNa suddenly knelt down, her hands empty and reverent, saying to Le Chen: "Le Chen, sir, please let NaNa help you change your shoes!"

Le Chen was taken aback, hastily waving his hand: "No need, no need, just give me my shoes, and I'll put them on myself."

But Ito NaNa insisted: "It's still better for NaNa to help Le Chen, sir, this is a Japanese tradition. Le Chen will be like entering the local customs."

However, he thought it over and decided that since it was a family's custom, they themselves might not feel anything wrong about it. If one insisted on opposing it, it would only spoil their rules.

So, he just had to lift his feet up and sincerely say, "Then it's tough for Miss Ito NaNa."

Ito NaNa, still wearing a kimono, looked up at Le Chen with her head raised, blushed, and smiled sweetly, looking lovely beyond measure.

Then she gently lifted Le Chen's foot with both hands, carefully putting on his slippers. Only then did she stand up slowly and say to Le Chen, "Le Chen, please come along."

Le Chen nodded slightly and walked alongside her into the house.

Ito NaNa introduced him by saying, "This mansion has a history of over a hundred years now. It suffered serious damage during the Great Kanto Earthquake and was very costly to repair, so no one dared to buy it until my father bought it and spent a lot of money to restore it."

Le Chen asked curiously, "Ito-san seems to have a special fondness for this kind of old mansion? The one in Kyoto looks even older than this one."

Ito NaNa laughed sweetly, saying, "Actually, I just like the style of architecture. After moving from Kyoto to Tokyo at 14, I didn't quite get used to Tokyo's life, so my father bought this place and spent a lot of money on restoration. It became what it is now."

As she spoke, Ito NaNa sighed, saying, "However, I still like Kyoto more."

Le Chen nodded, saying, "This mansion has a peaceful atmosphere, with an air of antiquity. It's already very good, but the one in Kyoto is indeed superior."

Ito NaNa said with a hint of sadness, "My father told me to take over the family business, so I don't think I'll have much chance to come back here again..."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Le Chen with a pleading tone and asked, "Le Chen sir, can NaNa ask you something? Do you know if you can grant it?"

When he heard NaNa's words, Le Chen immediately opened his mouth and said, "Go ahead and say it. If it's within my power, I'll agree to it."

Ito NaNa hesitated for a moment, looking at him with an expectant expression, and said sincerely, "I want to ask Le Chen sir to stay a little later"

"What do you mean by 'a little later'?"

Le Chen subtly raised his eyebrows and asked subconsciously, "How late is that? I'm actually planning to return home tonight, and the plane is waiting for me at Osaka."

Ito NaNa's eyelids fluttered, and she lowered her gaze slightly, speaking softly, "This mainly depends on Le Chen sir's schedule. If it's tight, a few hours are also possible."

"As she was speaking, Ito NaNa hurriedly added, 'Le Chen sir, don't misunderstand. Right now, my dad and Tanaka-san are both seriously injured in the hospital, and my aunt is busy taking care of them as well as handling family affairs.' She hesitated for a moment before continuing, 'I'm also a bit disoriented myself and don't know where to start. I'd like Le Chen sir to spend some time with me.'"

"What do you mean by that? Can you take your friends and have them fly to Tokyo after they're done, then meet up with them at the airport and catch a flight back to Hua Xia together? That way, you'll save four hours of driving time.'"

Ito NaNa spoke quickly again. 'If it's not convenient, don't worry about it. Le Chen sir doesn't need to feel burdened.'"

Le Chen thought for a moment, originally planning to drive back to Osaka and then meet up with Chen Zehai, Hong Wu, and Wei Liang, and then fly back to Jinling from Osaka."

However, Ito NaNa's suggestion was actually a very good solution." JrNovels.com
