Chapter 504 Some Ridiculous Thoughts
At this time, the waiter came with two aromatic cappuccinos. He placed them on the table and said, “Enjoy.”
Yuriko Shizuka took the coffee and sipped it. Rich coffee flavor and creamy milk made cappuccino popular among girls. It suited Xia Ning best, who was brainless.
Yuriko Shizuka looked at Yi Yunrui and was surprised to find that he did not drink the coffee.
“I thought cappuccino was your favorite, right?”
Yi Yunrui softened his gaze. He had some lemon juice, “I like having it with my wife.”
In fact, he did not like tea or coffee. He preferred plain water. But Xia Ning was different. He would try to enjoy everything Xia Ning liked.
His words stuck Yuriko Shizuka in her heart like a needle. Yi Yunrui could only see Xia Ning.
She could not understand why such a commander would choose an ordinary woman to love!
She met him in a gang fight ten years ago. He was like a god. He fought against dozens of armed gangsters by himself and protected her all the way back to her home. He was her savior. She would have been dead if it hadn’t been for Yi Yunrui.
She swore at that moment that she would only marry such a guy in the future!
When she learnt about his identity, she was more determined. She worked hard to improve herself and hoped to be with him as the gang master of the Third Rear Group one day.
But she was one step away from her dream. She would soon take over her father’s position but he had already married another woman.
The day when she heard about him getting married was like the end of her own world. She locked herself up in her room for three whole days.
And then it dawned on her in one morning.
She still had the chance as long as she was still alive.
She was the only one who could match an outstanding man like Yi Yunrui.
She gave Xia Ning one year, which was the most she could offer. She would do whatever she could to take back her man after one year.
She put down her coffee. The sweetness turned bitter in her mouth, “Mr. Yi, you do love her, don’t you?”
Yi Yunrui looked at her. “She’s my one and only for my life.”
Closing her eyes, Yuriko Shizuka bore the pain in her heart. She took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Yi, I came to visit you to tell you one thing.”
“Please go ahead.”
“Three months later, I’ll take over my father’s position and officially be the forty-seventh gang master of the Third Rear Group.”
“Congratulations.”
His indifferent expression and words dragged Yuriko Shizuka down. “Mr. Yi, do you know what this implies?”
Yi Yunrui pursed his lips. He did not answer Yuriko Shizuka.
She was the one who knew what that meant.
Her gaze sharpening, Yuriko Shizuka said word by word, “I will be the most powerful woman in Japan in three months.”
Yi Yunrui slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, “It sounds great.”
“Mr. Yi, I’d like to share this honor with you.”
“… I’ll send you a gift on your inauguration day…”
“I only want one thing!” Yuriko Shizuka’s eyes were like blazing fire. Her hand held the coffee mug tightly, “And it’s you!”
Yi Yunrui’s gaze turned cold. He wanted to leave, “Miss Yuriko, I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear what you just said. Please behave.”
“Even if you are married, it can’t stop me from loving you!” She bluntly said. Yuriko Shizuka stretched her arm to hold Yi Yunrui’s arm for fear that he would leave, “You know that I have loved you for so many years! And I’ll always love you for the rest of my life!”
“I have said that I only love my wife in my whole life.” Yi Yunrui tried to shake off Yuriko Shizuka’s hand, only to find her clenching tighter. He frowned.
“I know. And I didn’t ask you not to love her!” Seeing that Yi Yunrui was about to leave, Yuriko Shizuka was anxious, “Mr. Yi, could you give me five more minutes? I will leave when I finish. This time I come to China just to tell you this in person.”
Yuriko Shizuka’s big sparkling eyes looked at Yi Yunrui pleadingly. He took a while to say, “I’ll only give you five minutes. Please manage your time, Miss Yuriko.”
Her dramatic reactions had attracted many gazes. Yuriko Shizuka bit her lip and released Yi Yunrui’s hand worriedly.
“The traditional thought of the women in this country is that their husbands should be loyal to them and love them for the rest of their lives after the marriage. But Mr. Yi, a good man like you deserves to have other women. I love you so much, Mr. Yi. It’d be my greatest honor to stay by your side. I don’t mind how many women you have as long as you love me.”
Yuriko Shizuka paused to check Yi Yunrui’s expression. Seeing that he was not about to leave, she gained the courage to continue, “I want to clarify, Mr. Yi. I didn’t ask you to divorce or leave Xia Ning. She’s your favorite woman and your wife. For sure, you two are together. What I’m saying is…”
Yuriko Shizuka took a deep breath to slow down her racing heart, “What I’m saying is that I don’t mind being the concubine. I don’t care that I’ll be the gang master of the Third Rear Group and being a concubine will hurt my reputation. I’m willing to do so. You can still be with your wife and have me as well, Mr. Yi. Junhao and Third Rear Group can both help you. I’ll work hard to take good care of you and Sister Xia.”
Seeing Yi Yunrui still frowning and his face turning colder, Yuriko Shizuka guessed he was thinking about Xia Ning. Xia Ning was from China. And there was no way that she would accept a polygamous marriage with her.
“I suppose you’re worried about Sister Xia, Mr. Yi? For sure, Sister Xia might not say yes initially. But as long as she really loves you, she’ll know that it’s good for you. In Japan, women would do everything they could for their husbands. I believe that one day Sister Xia will accept it.”
Yuriko Shizuka was expectant previously and now coveting. Yi Yunrui was quiet for a while and then said, “That was what you told my wife earlier today in the media building, right?”
Yuriko Shizuka paused and shook her head, “Not really. Sister Xia is pregnant so I didn’t get straight. I gave her one year to consider. I’ll stay back during the period and not see you, Mr. Yi, though I’ll be missing you. I will take care of the Third Rear Group during the year and welcome you with a brand-new Third Rear Group after that.”
“You want me to join the Third Rear Group?”
“No.” Yuriko Shizuka denied quickly, “You can’t join the group given your identity. I’ll not ask you to do this, Mr. Yi. But the Third Rear Group will be yours. All of the members will listen to your order unconditionally.”
Yi Yunrui sneered, “The old gang master is OK with this?”
“I’ll be the forty-seventh gang master of the Third Rear Group in a year. My father will retire. His opinion will not affect my decision, though I’ll consider it. Plus, my father is not as wise as you, Mr. Yi. I believe that the Third Rear Group will be much stronger at your command and my father cannot agree more with this.”
“You’re flattering me.”
“I believe it’s the truth.” Yuriko Shizuka was serious, “Mr. Yi, I have everything ready. All you need to do is to accept it. If you feel it too quick, you can do that in a year or even three months. I truly hope to be by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life.”
Yuriko Shizuka was so devoted that she might literally give Yi Yunrui her heart if possible. Yi Yunrui seemed to be listening, but his face was emotionless.
“Mr. Yi?” Yuriko Shizuka asked after waiting a while for Yi Yunrui to react.
Yi Yunrui checked his watch, “Time is up. Miss Yuriko, I have to leave now!”
Saying so, Yi Yunrui stood up. When he turned around, he heard Yuriko Shizuka’s voice from his back, “Please consider my offer, Mr. Yi!”
Yi Yunrui turned back. He squinted and said word by word, “Yuriko, please respect yourself and behave! What you said might sound good to other males. But for me, I only love my wife for the rest of my life. She’s my first and my last. Please leave my wife alone. If I ever find you telling my wife this stuff, you will be my enemy the next time we meet.”
His assertive words broke Yuriko Shizuka’s heart.
Why Xia Ning? Why her?
“So, you really hate me, don’t you?”
“No!”
Yuriko Shizuka’s eyes lit up and so was her heart.
“I’d been admiring you. But you destroyed my only respect I left for you a year ago!” It was she a year ago who did such an unforgivable thing to his little wife!
He would have gotten back on her if it hadn’t been for their history!
He held himself in control with great effort to leave the Third Rear Group untouched. However, a year later, this woman came to him and talked brusquely about stupid polygamy!
Even if his wife could accept it, he would never say yes.
Plus, he would take his revenge on the Third Rear Group for their deeds a year ago.
Yi Yunrui turned around and walked out of the coffee shop.
Watching Yi Yunrui leave, Yuriko Shizuka clenched her fist. Her gaze softened. However, the corner of her mouth was slightly lifted, “Take your time, Mr. Yi. The more you struggle, the more pain you’ll have. One day you’ll beg for my mercy.”
She was planning to spare Xia Ning’s life. But now, she had to eliminate her.
