Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard Chapter 425 - 305 Fake Boyfriend2
Uzu’s father spoke while observing Uesugi Sakura’s expression, and upon hearing "absolutely impossible," there was no change in his face.
What does this indicate?
This indicates that he is very confident about this election.
Or it shows that he is very composed, with a solid foundation so strong that he doesn’t even bother to show confidence or smile.
But either way, it’s not the kind of quality a man younger than his daughter should have.
Moreover, he also noticed the blood-red Hook Jade hanging around his neck.
Judging by the antique flavor, it seed anything but simple.
’Indeed, there’s so background.’
Uzu’s father picked up a bite of rice with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, starting to ponder why this kid would deceive his daughter, lying to her about being an ordinary person.
And yet his daughter believed him completely, just because this kid is handso?
A woman in love truly is hopeless.
Uesugi Sakura did not know what this uncle was thinking. His lack of expression upon hearing "becoming Pri Minister or Governor is absolutely impossible" was purely because he wasn’t interested in this matter.
Even if soone definitively dismissed his dreams, stating it was impossible to achieve them, he wouldn’t have any thoughts about it.
It was a goal he ntioned casually in the first place.
"Uesugi-kun...the ring on your hand...?" Uzu’s mother stared at his left ring finger.
"I have one too!" Uzu Nana, seeing her mother’s puzzled expression, imdiately realized and raised her left hand, revealing a diamond ring.
"Haha, Mom, we wear these just for fun. Look, my diamond is a fake, a decorative piece we found by chance while shopping on the street and thought it looked nice, so we bought it together."
Upon hearing this, Uzu’s mother laughed too, dispelling her doubts, and teased Uesugi Sakura, "I was thinking, how could you young people afford such an expensive engagent ring, just the size of that diamond alone makes it impossible, not to ntion it’s a famous piece from the va jewelry store."
"Haha, speaking of which, seeing the engagent ring on Uesugi-kun’s hand, I even thought you two secretly got married behind my back, and I was worried it happened too quickly."
"Yes, yes indeed." Uzu Nana could only laugh along, covering the ring on her ring finger.
When it cos to imposture, it has to be done perfectly.
Uesugi Sakura would not remove Hanabi’s engagent ring, but to avoid arousing suspicion from Uzu Nana’s parents, he had to get a fake one from the accessory market for her to wear.
Fortunately, these rings were famous enough that counterfeits could be found.
Uzu’s mother laughed more heartily, while Uzu’s father grew increasingly worried.
There was even an engagent ring, and given its quality it didn’t look fake, could he be a playboy or a hedonist?
Moreover, how did he handle the engagent ring matter in front of his daughter?
Difficult to imagine.
But n with sweet talk, he’s seen many.
"Ahem, since you, Nana, have found soone you like and are willing to give up face and take the initiative to pursue him, I still hope this matter can be settled soon."
He ans: Hurry up and get engaged.
"Ah!? Too fast."
Uzu Nana did not expect her usually cautious, probing father to be so aggressive; it only took one al to reach the point of engagent. She only invited Uesugi just to break free from her parents’ entanglent, so she could focus on studying for a while.
"What’s fast about it? Haven’t we been urging you to quickly find soone who is eye-catching and well-matched to marry as soon as possible?"
Uzu’s father tried to observe his daughter’s reaction and took a glance sideways at his child’s mother sitting beside him, "Since your mother appreciates Uesugi-kun so much, and you like him, naturally I have no objections."
"It’s too soon! I need to...to adapt a little more..." Uzu Nana blushed.
"Not fast," Uzu’s mother smiled, "Besides, it’s not unusual to fall in love after marriage, deep affection develops over ti."
Uesugi Sakura calmly ate the cuisine, having to ntion the food at this store was indeed refreshing.
Whether raw or cooked, it brought out the original taste of the ingredients, furthermore adding "color and gloss," making it extraordinarily fresh, while being pleasing to the eye and lifting the mood.
"Nana, you see Uesugi-kun also agrees with what Mom said."
"No, no, no! Really...I really need more ti...such matters as engagent shouldn’t be handled hastily..." Uzu Nana kept emphasizing this point.
Through his daughter’s blushing performance just now, Uzu’s father realized she genuinely likes this kid, but was also concerned she might be ensnared by sweet talk, intending to find out the details about this kid, ready to go along with his daughter’s words.
He exchanged a glance with his child’s mother and then solemnly faced the two of them, saying:
"Alright then, your mother and I won’t interfere much in your matters for now, but..."
Before the father could finish, the mother, full of smiles, interrupted directly: "You can spend two more months together, if it’s appropriate, you can start getting engaged, during which we won’t interfere at all."
Getting two months to relax...Uzu Nana felt the ti was too short, just about to speak.
"Ahem!" Uzu’s father had a serious look, "At least a year."
A year!
Uzu Nana ntally gave a thumbs up to her father.
"A year is too long." Uzu’s mother said to him.
"Just a year." With an irrefutable tone, Uzu’s father planned to network more to check this guy nad Uesugi Sakura, during which he’d remind his daughter with a few more words not to be deceived to the extent of giving herself away.
However, girls in love are terribly unreliable. He intended to make a decision directly after finding out Uesugi Sakura’s information.
If he’s clean, keep him as a son-in-law; if he’s a playboy, let him stay away from his daughter.
"Alright, alright, a year it is."
Afterward, they continued eating the remaining food, Uesugi Sakura kept answering many questions from Uzu’s mother, involving his family, address, hobbies, and she even asked many cultural questions regarding haiku.
Uesugi Sakura could answer these. He had even studied seriously at Tokyo University, with his expertise hitting the nail on the head, making Uzu’s mother exceedingly happy and like him even more.
Only after this did the al finally conclude.
After leaving Matsukawa Cuisine, Uesugi Sakura and Uzu Nana went together to see off the parents as they prepared to drive away.
"Uesugi-kun, today really cost you." Uzu’s mother looked at him through the car window.
"Not at all, it’s sothing I should do to entertain the elders." Uesugi Sakura smiled modestly, trying his best to portray his role as a counterfeit boyfriend convincingly.
Uzu’s mother turned to remind her daughter: "And Nana, you’d better hold onto Uesugi-kun a bit, not many boys are as cultured and knowledgeable as he is."
"Got it, got it, you guys go on, hurry up." Uzu Nana stood beside the car, speaking with resignation, repeatedly waving her hand to urge them.
"You child."
Uzu’s mother gave her daughter an expression as if she had forgotten her parents now that she had a husband, but since Uesugi Sakura was beside her, she laughed and continued:
"Alright, we won’t disturb you two then, we’ll head ho with your father first."
"Alright! Alright! Goodbye goodbye!"
"Goodbye Uncle, Aunt." Uesugi Sakura also bowed politely.
"See, Uesugi-kun is so considerate, unlike you!" Uzu’s mother shot her daughter a look before having Uzu’s father drive away.
The car window slowly rolled up, and as Uesugi Sakura watched the car’s tail lights disappear around the corner, he knew the parents truly left, and thus his heart relaxed.
This fake boyfriend act finally ca to an end.
"Thank you, Uesugi-kun, I feel much more at ease now." Uzu Nana patted her chest and sighed with relief.
"It’s nothing, I just said a few words."
"But it still cost you, didn’t it, a al costing 173,430 yen, right? Let repay you." Uzu Nana turned to retrieve money from her bag.
"No, no, it was ant to be my treat." Uesugi Sakura declined her offer.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed soone familiar coming out of Matsukawa Cuisine.
