His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 650

Chapter 650: I LIKE HER

Under normal circumstances, she would have been too scared to say anything to him. She knew he probably did not have good thoughts about her after learning about the things she had been doing in school.

However, this was a special situation.

She needed to stand up to him, even if he was angry with her.

She pushed her insecurities away and looked at him stubbornly as he continued watching the empty hallway after Teacher Shio disappeared.

His focus scared her because she knew how powerful he was in Tokyo. But she would never allow anything to happen to Teacher Shio. She would protect her because her class teacher was the only adult who seemed to care about her from the bottom of her heart.

At first, Misaki was resistant to Teacher Shio. She caused a lot of trouble for her when she was new and got her in trouble with the principal several times. But Teacher Shio never seemed to mind her antics. She continued treating everyone in Class F normally. Without prejudice...

Slowly, she won them over.

.....

So, even though the class continued to be naughty, they had long stopped causing Teacher Shio too much trouble.

Now, she was afraid she had brought the greatest challenge and obstacle into the life of the person who always stood up for her.

She was not sure that Teacher Shio could handle her uncle. After all, her uncle was different from rowdy students.

Yagi turned to his nephew and found her looking at him with those stubborn eyes. His face softened as he saw shadows of that little girl he adopted when he knew he would be a terrible parent. But even now, he was still unwilling to give her up.

“You like her?” He asked.

Misaki lowered her head with some embarrassment after realising she was a little too enthusiastic when defending Teacher Shio. She did not want to admit anything because she was not sure what her uncle was thinking.

“It will be troublesome if I have another class teacher at this point.” She replied, turning her head away.

Yagi smiled knowingly, but he did not expose her directly. At that moment, he realised that he had missed a lot from Misaki’s life. In the past, his niece would have been over-the-top with praises for anyone she liked.

She would have been creating a long list to extol Shio Emi’s values.

“Is that so?” He chuckled lightly. “That’s a shame. I like her.”

Yagi put a hand lightly on the dyed hair. “Let’s go home.”

Misaki was filled with so many feelings at once, and she did not know how to react. She was confused and overwhelmed as she watched her uncle turn and start walking away in the same direction Teacher Shio had just left.

Immediately, she ran after him. “What do you mean you like her?”

Yagi smiled. “I like her.”

“You don’t like anybody.” She said.

“I like her.” He repeated.

“What kind of like? Don’t think I am a child.” Misaki followed with quick steps as her uncle strode. “Either way, I am warning you. You cannot do anything bad to Teacher Shio. Or else, I will smash your favourite car.”

Yagi stopped and looked at Misaki. She also halted beside him and realised she had just threatened her uncle. She held her breath, but she did not lower her head. She wanted her uncle to know she meant business.

After a long moment, he smiled. “Deal.”

With that, he kept walking. Misaki was shocked once again. She wondered if her uncle had been replaced by an alien. She could not remember the last time she had seen him smile. Moreover, he was talking with her.

He was not just saying things to her perfunctorily.

The feeling was... She could not describe it. It was something she had wanted for so long. And now, she was worried that once they were back home, he would be back to himself. He would just pawn her off to the staff.

She caught up with him as they exited the building and walked to the parking lot.

“I am hungry.” She said.

“We are going home. I am sure dinner is ready.” Yagi said as he stopped in front of his black land rover.

“But I am hungry now.” Misaki pouted.

Yagi looked at his niece’s face. She was looking at him with fierceness, but there was a hint of insecurity in her eyes. She seemed like she was about to cry. He doubted it was because she was hungry. The guilt in his heart weighed heavy on him.

He had neglected her. His niece should never have had such an expression on her face.

“We can eat outside. But just this once. Restaurant food is not healthy.” He said. “Get in.”

Misaki hid her joy by lowering her head. She could not believe she was going to eat a meal with her uncle. Her happiness could hardly be contained as she hopped into the vehicle. She put on her seatbelt and started swinging her legs with excitement.

“Where do you want to eat?” Yagi ignored the palpable excitement from the girl.

“KFC,” Misaki said without hesitation.

“No. That’s unhealthy. Pick another place.” Yagi said as he drove through the school gate.

“But I want to go to KFC,” Misaki whined.

Yagi sighed. “Why? The food is cheap, fatty and unhealthy. We can eat something more delicious.”

Misaki did not want to tell him the real reason. In truth, she could buy herself the stupid fried chicken any day she wanted. She had almost done it one day after school when she was in a bad mood. She saw a billboard with the advertisement and took a cab there.

But when she got there, she discovered that most customers were parents with their children. She stood at the door for a while before turning and walking away. When the driver found her, she was in an even worse mood.

“It is called a craving, uncle. Girls have them.” She said, lifting her head in the air.

Yagi sighed. “Fine, but you cannot secretly get fast food in the future.”

Misaki rolled her eyes. “I’m not stupid, uncle. I don’t want to get fat.”

Yagi felt helpless.

It seemed like raising a daughter was going to be a challenge.
