My fiancée's girlfriends all have special skills

Chapter 4 After time stopped, my fiancée's best friend actually...

Qingyou gradually relaxed his vigilance, waited for the food, ate his meal, and sometimes secretly played with his phone under the table and watched the guys on the forum chat.

While doing all this, Qingyou was able to divert his attention to one thread and grasp the general content of the conversation between Aili and her bestie.

If Aili suddenly cues him and Qingyou can't answer and is caught distracted by her, Aili will get angry and make trouble for him.

It’s like a corporate slave listening to his boss’s meeting in the company. Maybe the content of the meeting is meaningless and just a bunch of nonsense, but it’s best not to let your boss catch you slacking off.

"…It's great that Ayano can return to China to develop. When you were away, I couldn't find a suitable companion for shopping."

"Unfortunately, I probably won't have much time to play."

Kitahara Ayano's beautiful face was tinged with sadness when she spoke of this. "My father wanted me to learn management and do my best to prepare for inheriting the gallery."

"Ah, your gallery is indeed an important business."

"Maybe I won't even have time to paint anymore, let alone go shopping." Ayano sighed sadly and suddenly turned to Qingyou, "What do you think, Mr. Chihaya? Which is the right path, inheriting the family business or pursuing ideals?"

You ask me?
Qingyou supports Aili in inheriting the family business, but he himself pursues the ideal of living a life of idleness and waiting for death.

Of course, it is impossible to say such low EQ words.

"If objective conditions permit, pursuing ideals is of course the right path. However, everyone will have to do things they don't want to do because of their own responsibilities, right?"

Kitahara Ayano nodded in agreement: "You are right, Mr. Chihaya, the family's responsibility must be fulfilled..."

"Ayano, don't listen to his nonsense." Airi rolled her eyes at her husband, and then encouraged her bestie, "If you ask me, your old man is still in good health, why is he in such a hurry to let you take over? You still have a lot of youth to enjoy, there is no need to do boring things so early, take care of the family first and concentrate on painting, at least when the situation requires you to step in, then consider switching to a manager, by then Ayano-chan will surely have created a world-renowned work!"

"World-renowned...?" Ayano smiled bitterly, "Airi really has confidence in me."

"Of course, in my eyes, Ayano-chan is the best painter in the world!" After saying that, Ai Li glanced at Qingyou, as if asking for his opinion.

Qingyou immediately expressed his opinion: "I believe in Aili's aesthetics. Since Aili said so, there must be no problem. Come on, Miss Kitahara!"

While his remarks encouraged positive energy, he also hinted that he followed his fiancée's judgment and stated that he had no bias towards Kitahara Ayano.

This is the emotional intelligence of the son-in-law of the Chihaya family. I want to ask if you have a son-in-law with such high emotional intelligence? He is really a son-in-law!

As if encouraged by the couple, Kitahara Ayano's spirits were lifted a lot. When the next dish came, she announced that she wanted to use the time before officially taking over the management of the gallery to create a satisfactory work as a perfect ending to her many years of painting career.

"That's great! In that case, let us wish Ayano-chan good luck with her creative work!" Airi raised her red wine and clinked glasses with her.

Kitahara Ayano's face flushed with excitement: "Thank you... Well, if there is anything I need help with during the creation process, I might bother you two."

Airi immediately promised: "No problem, we have been best friends since childhood, this is nothing. What's the big deal? Anything I can get, no matter how valuable it is, Ayano can use it if she needs it."

"So...what if I want to use Mr. Chihaya?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly dropped several degrees.

Qingyou paused with the chopsticks in his hand, and the steak in his mouth no longer tasted delicious.

No, ladies.

How did you step into the minefield of the red-eyed demon?

Where are the best friends who grew up together? They are just fake best friends, right?

Fortunately, Kitahara Ayano soon revealed a sweet smile and tilted her head to explain, "I was just joking. I was thinking that a handsome man like Qingyou would be very suitable as a sketch model for the art academy."

"I have no experience as a sketch model."

"Of course. I heard that Chihaya-san has been pursuing Airi since the second year of high school. It's a pity that I was studying abroad at that time, otherwise I would have witnessed this enviable fairy-tale love with my own eyes." Airi immediately curled her lips and said disdainfully: "What fairy-tale love? It's nothing more than this guy being a shameless licker, and he is qualified in all aspects."

"Hmm~" Kitahara Ayano blinked her bright eyes and glanced at the two of them, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qingyou interrupted this somewhat awkward topic and raised his red wine glass: "I also wish Miss Kitahara good luck in creating her final painting."

"Thank you, Chihaya-san."

After finishing the glass of wine, Ayano said she wanted to go to the bathroom and left the table temporarily.

"Your performance is acceptable. Keep going. Keep it up. Don't let Ayano know our true relationship."

"Although I can do it, I still want to ask, is it necessary?" Qingyou slowly swallowed the crust of the Wellington steak and said lightly, "Ayano is your best friend, right?"

"one."

"Okay, one, but I don't think she's the type to go around saying that."

"We've only just met, but you've already figured out her personality. Hmm... Qingyou-kun, you must be eager to be a painting model for Ayano? I heard that some underground avant-garde art wants to show the special state of men, so the painter will help the model do some interesting things~" Airi clenched her fingers and made a suggestive gesture.

"I think your best friend respects our 'relationship' and would not do such a despicable thing to destroy the marriage relationship. Besides..."

Qingyou was talking when he suddenly stopped passively. He found that he could not make any sound and even his whole body was fixed there, unable to move.

No, not just him.

The wall clock, the leaves outside the window, and Miss Aili in front of him.

Everything seemed to be frozen, in a state of absolute stillness.

What the hell?

Time stopped?
But why is it that Qingyou is the only one whose consciousness is still functioning?
He tried to call the system in his consciousness, but got no response.

squeak~
At this moment, the door of the box opened and Kitahara Ayano appeared in Qingyou's sight.

She was still able to move normally, and the gentle smile that had always been on her face faded, replaced by childish playfulness and strong curiosity.

Kitahara Ayano walked straight to Qingyou, walked slowly around him, and bent down to examine him.

"Sure enough, no matter from which angle you look at it, he is an impeccable beautiful boy."

Qingyou was sweating a little.

Apparently, my fiancée’s best friend is the culprit for the time pause.

Let’s not talk about why superpowers appear in this everyday world that is based on reality.

Kitahara Ayano looks like a different person now, completely different from the quiet little painter before.

Suddenly, Ayano lowered her head, approached Qingyou's face, and gently stroked Qingyou's lips with her soft fingers.

"Hmm, what a unique feeling. Such straight and distinct facial features, yet they feel so soft to the touch..."

Miss Kitahara, what are you doing? !
I'm your best friend's fiancé, not Okubo's gigolo. How can you touch me casually?
However, immediately afterwards, Kitahara Ayano did something even more outrageous.

The hands holding the paintbrush with beautiful knuckles reached for the buttons of Qingyou's shirt...
