Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 958 Chapter 967, I feel like an NPC~~~
Naoki Nagayama is quite familiar with Qinglai, after all, he has been here several times.
But when I came today, I was still a little nervous. The formal suit I was wearing seemed to not fit me well. It was tight here and wrinkled there.
I have had many romances in my two lives, but no matter how you look at it, this is the first time I have formally proposed marriage.

And as long as you care about it in your heart, no matter what kind of person you are in normal times, your mood will fluctuate at such a moment~
Akina Nakamori, who was standing next to "Naoki-san", tilted her head and looked at her boyfriend with a smile in her eyes, "It's rare to see Naoki-san so nervous."

"Nervous? How is that possible!" Naoki Nagayama subconsciously made an excuse, turned the steering wheel, got off the highway, and drove into the clear city road. "It's just that the air humidity is a little high, and I feel a little uncomfortable. It will definitely rain today!"

Mingcai looked up at the sky from the car window. The bright sunshine sprinkled on the houses on both sides of the road, shining brightly and warmly. She could also see housewives hanging the washed clothes on the clothesline.
"Hi hi hi" Akina Nakamori had no intention of exposing what was said and echoed what Naoki Nagayama said.

However, Naoki Nagayama, who was driving, naturally saw the sunshine, but the most important thing for a man is to be tough:
"I mean in the afternoon or before dusk. Even though the sun is out now, this kind of shower still depends on the humidity of the air."

Then there was another round of air convection, and weather terms such as rainy autumn and small-scale rainfall made Akina Nakamori next to her laugh.

"Hi hi hi~"

While the two were arguing, the Toyota Century finally arrived at the Nakamori family's old house.

It was the weekend and there was a taxi parked next to the old house. It seemed to be Akina's brother's car, and he was driving the taxi.

Akina Nakamori walked briskly to the door, greeted Naoki Nagayama who was carrying a gift, then opened the door and said loudly:
"I'm back!!!"

Because I had called before coming, the people of the Nakamori family were waiting in the old house. I saw Chieko, wearing a kimono, walking to the entrance in small steps and said with a smile:

“Welcome home.”

Then he looked at Naoki Nagayama and said politely: "Naoki-kun is here too~"

"It's been a long time since I last met you, Chieko-san." Naoki Nagayama bowed politely and handed over the gift he brought. "This is a little token of my appreciation."

"Why are you so polite?"

Chieko Nakamori said polite words, but took the gift as a matter of course, and led the two of them to the living room.

Naoki Nagayama felt that this scene was like a cutscene in a console game. Every move seemed to be set. As a player, he could not control the character's behavior and could only follow the plot to enter the next scene.
I feel like an NPC!
It's just that I should have cheated in this level. No matter what happens, I won't lose blood and will eventually pass the level in one shot.
When he walked into the living room and saw Akio Nakamori sitting in the middle and Akina's brothers and sisters sitting on both sides, Nagayama Naoki even felt that the blank space next to them slowly transformed into the name of this level - Nakamori Old House - Living Room.

The people inside are the monsters and BOSS that need to be defeated in this level.
"Long time no see, Nakamori-san and everyone else," Nagayama Naoki greeted everyone politely, "How is everything going lately?"

"so far so good"

Nakamori Akio spoke politely in a calm tone, and the expression on his face could not tell whether it was enthusiasm or dissatisfaction.

Because he has many children, he has experienced many marriage proposals today. In the previous times, he could at least find faults and embarrass the prospective son-in-law from a moral high ground. But this couple...
The daughter of the family has grown to a very high position and cannot be controlled. If the prospective son-in-law does not have a relationship with the daughter, he may not even have a say.
After sitting down, there was an awkward silence in the living room for a while, and both sides didn't know how to start the conversation.

Until Chieko brought hot tea and started to greet people:
"Naoki-kun, please use ~"

"Arigado~"

"This is the fried tea I brought from my hometown. How do you feel about it?"

“It has a fresh aroma”

Just like that, a normal conversation began and the atmosphere in the living room began to become relaxed.

Akina's eldest and second brothers asked what she was busy with recently. Nagayama Naoki told me that he was filming "Hayato" and it had just started and would be released next year.
Nakamori Akina was dragged to the veranda, where she was whispering with her sisters and Akina.
"Shuyou Films has produced a lot of excellent works this year!"

The eldest brother Akihiro Nakamori exclaimed that both "Squid Game" and "Love Century" were works that made everyone's eyes shine. Even the late-night "Midnight Diner" made many people fall in love with the cozy little shop that only opened at midnight.

"Yes, one after another." Nakamori Akiho added, "It seems to have captured the audience's attention for the entire year!"

"Haha, it's not even a full year yet~" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "The next TV series will be released on Monday!"

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, it's called 101 Marriage Proposals. It's on Fuji TV's prime time!"

"That's really exciting!" "Yes, yes!"

At first, Nakamori Akio didn't say much, just occasionally listening to his children chatting with Naoki Nagayama. But after hearing the name of the TV series, it seemed that some key words were triggered, and he put down his teacup and said:

"'101 Marriage Proposals'? Did he propose so many times?"

"This is the last time!" Naoki Nagayama said, "After going through so many times, I finally succeeded this time!"

"Oh? I see."

Since the topic has come to this point, Naoki Nagayama also knew that it was time, so he sat upright and said to Akio Nakamori:

"Nakamori-san, if it's convenient, I have something I want to explain to you in private."

"Oh? Can't you tell us in front of everyone?" Nakamori Akio asked in a controlled tone, as if he was quite surprised. "Is it something very important?"

"Hey, this is a very serious matter!" Naoki Nagayama nodded.

"Well, if that's the case," Nakamori Akio gestured to his two sons, "Then Minghao Mingfa, you two should step aside for now."

"Hi~" X2
Seeing that both of Akina's brothers had left, and only Nakamori Akio and himself were left in the living room, Nagayama Naoki felt like he was playing a game.
Obviously, I already know that I am here to propose marriage, and it is almost a foregone conclusion, but now I have to follow the fixed script like acting.
Can't you just say "You should marry Akina as soon as possible", "There's nothing to say, when is the wedding?" or "Okay, okay, I know everything, you've made Akina pregnant, what else can I do", and just end it like that? !
How simple and convenient this is!
Afterwards, we can chat while eating, in harmony.
Although all kinds of strange thoughts kept bubbling up in Nakamori-san's head, Naoki Nagayama remained serious on the surface, "Please let Akina marry me!"

"Oh?" Nakamori nodded, and subconsciously said according to the previous logic, "What can you give to marry my daughter? To guarantee her life and happiness."

In the middle of his words, Nakamori Akio stopped talking.
He looked at the prospective son-in-law opposite him, who was wearing a high-end suit. He then remembered that this guy was a well-known director, a well-known writer, a well-known musician, the president of a big company, and a young billionaire.
Any title is enough!
"Ahem." Nakamori Akio coughed tactically and changed the direction without leaving a trace. "Can you promise to treat my daughter well after we get married?"

"Of course! I will continue to take good care of Akina as always!"

Naoki Nagayama patted his chest and made a promise!

At this time, outside the living room, since the house was not big, the whole family gathered in the eaves of the yard.

Akina Nakamori looked at the living room nervously, feeling quite uneasy:
"Oga-san, what will father say to Naoki-san?!"

"They are just some common words." Chieko was not worried at all. There was nothing to complain about with such a son-in-law. "Akiko and Akie also said the same thing when they got married."

"Sister Minghui, sister Mingzi, what did father say to brother-in-law at that time?" Akina Nakamori asked her sister.

"From what I heard, it seems like it's all about making a legitimate living and making sure to treat your wife well after marriage," said Aki Nakamori, holding her little daughter. Her son, Zhao Zhao, is already in kindergarten.

"You obviously can't do anything," Chieko said disdainfully.

When the other children heard Chieko's words, they all looked as if they had heard nothing.
As children, they naturally knew that their parents were not getting along, and they also knew that they were just husband and wife in name only.

It can be said that all the children were raised by Chieko. Their father was often not at home and later had an affair, so they naturally tended to favor their mother.

Now that their children have grown up, there is nothing that can stop them. If it weren't for their bad reputations, they would have divorced long ago.

Akina Nakamori hugged her mother's arm, still feeling a little anxious.

"It's okay, I'll definitely agree!" Chieko patted Akina's head, "If your father doesn't agree, I will agree too!"

"Hi~"

Akina Nakamori smiled, then ran to her elder sister Akee Nakamori, took her little niece Xiaoai and held her in her arms.

"Akina is finally going to be a mother herself~" said the eldest sister Minghui with a smile, "You can hold your own child in the future, otherwise you will always come to grab my daughter's hand to hold."

"That's because Xiao Ai is so cute, isn't it? Xiao Ai?"

Akina Nakamori was teasing her six-month-old niece in her arms. The child, who couldn't speak yet, could only say "ah ah" in the affirmative.

Minghao and Mingfa, who were far away, had nothing to talk about among the women, so they could only talk about their recent work.

"Mingfa, are you sure you want to open a shop with your father?"

"Well, at least making ramen is no problem." Nakamori Akiho failed to get into university, and after working a few odd jobs, he decided to try opening a shop. After all, it is a family business.

"How about that?" Nakamori Akihiro was a taxi driver. Although it was a bit hard, it was considered a good job in this era. He turned his head and looked inside the house. "After Akina gets married, ask your brother-in-law if he can recommend a good job for her?"

Although Akina Nakamori is very famous and is a top idol, she only makes a lot of money and does not have much say in other aspects. Even though she is now a shareholder, it is very troublesome to arrange for her family to work in the firm.

If it's a girl, maybe she can be given some resources and help her debut for Akina's sake, but if it's a male family member, it's still difficult. After all, you can't arrange for someone who has no skills to work as a cleaner or security guard. After all, she is Akina's relative.
If you just pay money to support her, what's the difference between that and Akina paying money herself?
But for a powerful president of a large company like Naoki Nagayama, it would only take a word to appoint someone. At most, he would just assign a sinecure position, such as an expired file manager.
"I still want to try to open my own shop first~" Nakamori Mingfa is not very old, but he still has great expectations for his future. "My own business gives me more freedom."

"Okay~ Let's try it first~"

Nakamori Akihiro did not say much. After all, he was opening a shop with his father who ran a butcher shop only so-so, so as long as he could make a profit. Even if people cannot teach others, it is enough to teach them once.

While a few people were chatting, the conversation in the living room had come to an end.

"So, you are planning to hold the wedding in Shizuoka, right?" asked Akio Nakamori.

“Hey, because for generations, weddings have been held in the family temple.”

"Well, that makes sense!" Nakamori Akio nodded. He had no objection to this decision. After all, it was the man's ancestral home and there was family tradition.

"Then, when the wedding is held."

"I will book a hotel in Shizuoka and pick you up from the hotel in the morning." Naoki Nagayama said directly. If time was not urgent, buying a house in Shizuoka would also be possible.

"The people you will be invited to attend to."

"Mr. Nakamori and Mr. Chieko, please be sure to attend." Naoki Nagayama said solemnly, "Akina's brother and sister also hope to be able to attend the wedding. I will pick them up at the hotel!"

"I don't have any problem with her mother." Nakamori Akio said, "As for Minghao and the others, it depends on whether they have time. After all, they are going to Shizuoka."

"Hey, Akina and I will check."

"Well, there are no other problems." Nakamori Akio was silent for a while, but still said, "In this case, I will leave my daughter to you! I hope you will treat Akina well in the future!"

"Hey!" Naoki Nagayama promised, "I will definitely take good care of Akina!"

"Ah That's good!"

"."

After the door of the living room opened, Naoki Nagayama and Akio Nakamori both had smiles on their faces, and people outside naturally knew that everything was going well.

Chieko smiled and started preparing lunch:
"Today I made Akina's favorite fried meatballs. Naoki-san, please eat more!"

"That's great!" Naoki Nagayama nodded with a smile, "I've always missed this delicacy!"

In the yard, Akina Nakamori was still holding her little niece Xiaoai and chatting with her sisters. When she looked up at Nagayama Naoki, a hint of shyness flashed across her face, and then she immediately turned away and continued to tease her little niece!
