His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 681 - 681 HEAVENLY LUCK

681 HEAVENLY LUCK

Shi did not return to the private room after his abrupt departure. After a while, the five-minute countdown to the commencement of the event began. Yagi frowned as he looked at the large screen in his room and then, at the large arena filled with obscuring fog, probably from dry ice.

The arena looked mysterious and ominous.

His eyes turned to the door before standing up and stepping out of the room. He was not worried about Shi’s safety, but he had a feeling he might find out something about his mysterious bodyguard if he found him.

His lips stretched into a slight smile.

“Sir, the event is about to start. You might miss the start if you leave now.” The attendant standing outside his viewing room said politely.

Yagi just waved a hand to indicate he did not care. He had not come to watch the event anyway. He wanted to find out more about the Anarkh and reassess the possibility of acquiring it. If he missed the event, it would not matter.

He walked from the room and looked at the environment. Despite the rumours of mismanagement, the resort seemed to be thriving. It was a beautiful masterpiece, designed with a modern, almost futuristic motif. It was quite different from his growing environment.

Before he bought that house to give Misaki a more normal childhood, the entire Yagi family lived in the ancestral home. It was a large courtyard with a very traditional design. Moreover, the lifestyle they lived was also quite traditional.

He found this type of sleek design fascinating.

.....

Unfortunately, it did not look like he would get a chance to own it. So far, he found that the casino resort was better managed than he originally thought. It did not look like it was neglected. Otherwise, they would not be holding such an elaborate event.

But it did not matter.

He had not invested a lot of resources into acquiring Anarkh so far. Therefore, he could back out of his bid without the skin off his back. It was still a damn shame.

As he thought about going downstairs for an up-close look at the casino scene and maybe finding Shi, he noticed a woman come out from another room ahead of him. She was in a black jumpsuit that showed off her curves, and she wore high-heeled shoes that made her walk seductively.

Yagi frowned at his own attention to the woman. Since he met Emi, he had not even considered looking at another woman. He knew he wanted her as his wife, so he did not need to think about anyone else.

Unfortunately, his slight lingering gaze must have been a little longer and more obvious than he thought. The woman did not stop but she turned her head to look at him, causing the braided ponytail to swing slightly.

Yagi planned to ignore the look and act like he had not even glanced at her. However, the woman’s face caused him to lose his mind for a moment. He could not believe it, so he stopped and looked at her with widened eyes.

The countenance was made up with slightly gothic makeup, but he could not mistake the person at all.

It was his Emi.

Emi looked at him for a few seconds before snorting and flipping her ponytail at him and walking away. It took a moment for him to come back to his senses. Immediately, he followed her at the fastest speed he could without running.

He did not want to miss the opportunity.

She did not seem like she was walking fast on those thin heels, but her speed was swift. However, she could not escape from him. Yagi felt like the heavens were helping him. He could not let go of the opportunity.

“Emi!” He called out as he caught up with her, just as she turned a corner.

She refused to turn to look at him. She flipped her braid over her shoulder again with precocious abandon, refusing to acknowledge him. However, she still responded to him without turning back.

“Please find me during my office hours, Mr Yagi.” She said. “I am enjoying my free time, and I can exercise my freedom to not interact with my student’s parents.”

Yagi smiled a little at her stubbornness. She seemed unwilling to speak with him, but it did not look like she was closing the door completely. In other words, she was simply giving him a hard time. And he deserved it.

When he was about to say something, he discovered two people behind them. They were at a distance, but he could still recognise them. Well, he knew the old man, but the young lady clinging to him like a limpet did not belong in the social circle of Anarkh clientele.

Yagi frowned and looked at the door ahead of them. He was not sure what was in the rooms, but he was certain they were not hotel rooms or suites. The entire fifth floor was dedicated to entertainment, so they could not be personal rooms.

He held Emi by the waist and pulled her towards one of the doors. Emi resisted as much as she could, but the power of her resistance was limited by her impractical shoes. If she was careless, she would fall on her ass or damage her precious shoes.

She looked angrily at the man.

“What do you think you are doing?” She asked.

“Do not look behind us,” Yagi said ominously without letting her go.

Naturally, these words made her want to look behind even more. However, she was not someone without the right skills for gossiping. She used her peripheral vision to see the person behind them. She recognised him and understood Yagi’s thoughts.

Even though she was reluctant, she did not want to be discovered by other people.

Yagi tried to open the door of one of the rooms, but he found it was locked. He frowned and hesitated before pushing Emi against the door. He leaned in as if he was going to kiss her, and he was. It was only a matter of a few seconds before the people behind caught up to them.

There was no other way to hide without looking suspicious.

Emi looked at him with innocent eyes that contrasted the smoky makeup on her face. The gap in appearance and personality made Yagi heat up with desire, even though his original intentions were pure. Almost pure…

Emi was frozen for a moment that seemed to stretch on forever until she heard the distinct release of the door lock. She reached behind and touched the cold door knob. She was not sure if she was imagining the door release, but she still tried it.

The door opened up behind her. However, she was not ready for the sudden loss of support.

Without warning, she was already falling backwards.
