*Slap!*
Cheng Xiaofan landed another slap on Sakai Kazuo's face.
Sakai Kazuo pursed his lips, on the verge of tears. The problem was that Cheng Xiaofan's slaps not only hurt his face but also his heart.
His heart ached with every blow.
"Mr. Cheng, why do you always slap my face?" Sakai Kazuo asked aggrievedly.
Cheng Xiaofan looked furious and roared, "Sakai Kazuo, you should know that I have my own businesses in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and Matsushita Koto is my representative."
"But you colluded with Watanabe Gensho, and to control Matsushita Koto, you actually imprisoned her aunt. Tell me, am I not furious?"
Sakai Kazuo said fearfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, it was my fault. I know you are angry!"
Cheng Xiaofan snarled, "Since you know I'm angry, tell me, do I need to vent?"
Sakai Kazuo quickly replied, "Yes, definitely!"
*Slap!*
Another slap landed on Sakai Kazuo's face.
Cheng Xiaofan said coldly, "Slapping your face is how I vent!"
"I find that only by slapping your face can the anger in my chest gradually lessen!"
"I'm afraid if I don't slap your face, I'll kill you directly!"
*Slap!*
This slap was quite heavy, sending Sakai Kazuo flying.
"Ah—"
With Sakai Kazuo's scream, he fell to the ground and immediately fainted.
Only Cheng Xiaofan knew that Sakai Kazuo would not wake up for at least three days this time.
If he weren't Sakai Kōko's biological father, Cheng Xiaofan would have killed him without hesitation.
Facing Cheng Xiaofan's actions, Matsushita Daizi couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, her face blooming like a flower.
Cheng Xiaofan then noticed Matsushita Daizi.
Matsushita Daizi was in her forties. Her jet-black hair was elegantly pulled up, and she wore a pale yellow shirt with a yellow sash tied at her waist, accentuating her slender figure with exquisite charm.
Her oval face was framed by large, bright eyes. Despite being middle-aged, she remained captivatingly beautiful, like a pure lotus blooming in the spring breeze, exuding elegance.
Judging by her looks and figure alone, Matsushita Daizi must have been a star-level beauty in her youth.
It was obvious that such a beauty would have attracted many men's covetous gazes.
If she had wished, she could have married into any wealthy family.
However, to raise her niece, she chose to remain unmarried. This spirit of sacrifice was truly worthy of respect.
"You are Koto's aunt, aren't you?" Cheng Xiaofan politely greeted Matsushita Daizi.
Matsushita Daizi immediately bowed deeply to Cheng Xiaofan and replied with a smile as radiant as a flower, "Yes, Mr. Cheng, I am Koto's aunt, Matsushita Daizi."
"Mr. Cheng, it is Koto's good fortune from her past lives to have a master like you, who is both wise and brave, and handsome and imposing!"
"..." How was anyone supposed to respond to that?
What era was this? Where did "master" and "maidservant" come from?
Alas!
Matsushita Koto really said anything and everything to her aunt!
"Aunt Koto, you've misunderstood!"
Cheng Xiaofan quickly corrected, "Koto was joking with me. How can I be her master? And she is not my maidservant!"
"In my heart, I've always treated her like a sister!"
Matsushita Daizi smiled, "Mr. Cheng, please don't say that. Koto willingly serves you. She told me that besides you, she will never marry!"
"She said she is willing to serve you for a lifetime!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan became anxious. "Aunt Koto, don't listen to her nonsense. She's still young. How can she not marry?"
Matsushita Daizi said, "Koto told me that to better help you manage the company's affairs, she absolutely will not marry. Marriage can be a great distraction."
"Besides, there's a tradition in Sakura Country where women, after marriage, give up their careers to focus on serving their in-laws and husbands at home."
"But she has already pledged her heart to Mr. Cheng's company. How can she possibly marry now?"
"..." Matsushita Daizi's words left Cheng Xiaofan speechless.
What Matsushita Koto said seemed to make a lot of sense.
However, he truly couldn't bear to see a young woman remain unmarried her entire life for the sake of her career.
But it was clear that Matsushita Koto had made up her mind.
He couldn't persuade her.
Besides, in Sakura Country, Cheng Xiaofan really needed someone like Matsushita Koto to manage his corporate group.
After all, having a local person manage the company group would be much more convenient in many aspects.
Cheng Xiaofan sighed slightly at Matsushita Daizi and said, "Koto is truly thoughtful!"
Matsushita Daizi smiled, "Since you are her master, as a maidservant, this is her duty and how she should behave."
"Aunt Koto, please don't mention 'master' and 'maidservant' anymore. I really dislike those terms. They give me goosebumps!" Cheng Xiaofan said with a frown.
Matsushita Daizi said, "Mr. Cheng, these are Koto's heartfelt terms for you. Whether you are willing to accept them or not, you can only discuss it with her directly."
"The child is grown. As her aunt, I can't interfere too much in her life."
"By the way—"
Matsushita Daizi changed the subject, "Mr. Cheng, if you have time, I hope you and Koto can give me a child. This is my only request!"
"..." Good heavens!
Was this request too much?
He had his own woman; how could he have children outside?
Cheng Xiaofan was almost jumping up in alarm. "Aunt Koto, I have a fiancée. There can be nothing between Koto and me in that regard."
"And this time, I brought my fiancée to Sakura Country!"
Matsushita Daizi quickly smiled and said, "Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Cheng. I don't mean you should marry Koto. For a divine being like yourself, who walks among the clouds, how could she be worthy of marrying you?"
"Just think of her serving you, and perhaps planting a seed, so she can have a child."
"..." The more she talked, the more absurd it became!
This woman really dared to say anything.
But it wasn't entirely Matsushita Daizi's fault. As Koto's aunt, she had decided not to marry for life, and Koto, for Cheng Xiaofan's company, had also decided to remain unmarried.
They couldn't just let their lineage end there!
Cheng Xiaofan dared not dwell on this topic with her any longer.
He said, "Aunt Koto, let's go. My fiancée is still at the inn. She doesn't know I came to rescue you yet!"
"Alright, let's leave immediately!" Matsushita Daizi knew Cheng Xiaofan didn't want to discuss the matter of a child any further.
She couldn't force the issue.
Not far from the temple was the street.
It was almost one in the morning, but the street was still brightly lit, with traffic flowing endlessly.
Matsushita Daizi said, "Cheng Xiaofan, let's take a taxi!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a taxi then!"
Matsushita Daizi immediately waved her hand at the street, hailing a taxi.
Once inside the car, Cheng Xiaofan immediately contacted Potian Eagle with his spiritual sense: "Potian Eagle, go back to the inn first. I'll be there soon!"
"Chirp—"
Potian Eagle responded to its master.
