Chapter 678: Jin Ling is a Sad Place

Seeing Ito Nanako agree, Ito Yuhiko's voice softened a little, and he asked, "Nanako, have you had lunch?"

Ito Nanako answered truthfully, "Reporting to Father, I have been training since I came back from the gymnasium, and I haven't had lunch yet."

Ito Yuhiko gave a hum and instructed, "That's good. I see it's noon now. You might as well keep Kobayashi Jiro for lunch there, which can be considered as fulfilling the way of hospitality for your father."

"Keep him for lunch?"

Ito Nanako was a little reluctant.

She herself was a girl with a relatively cold personality, and since she was a child, the family had been teaching her female etiquette, always letting her keep enough distance from men outside. Plus, she had been obsessed with martial arts for many years, so she had even less contact with men.

Except for her own family, she had never eaten privately with a young man since she grew up. Even her assistant Tanaka Koichi had never had the opportunity to eat with her.

However, she could also hear the hardness in her father's tone and knew that her opposition might not be of any use, so she said, "Okay Father, Nanako knows..."

Ito Yuhiko said with satisfaction, "Nanako, the family is currently having very important cooperation with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, so don't neglect the other party, do you understand?"

Ito Nanako hurriedly said, "Understood, Father."

After hanging up the phone, Ito Nanako sighed helplessly. She called Tanaka Koichi and said to him, "Tanaka-san, please help me entertain Mr. Kobayashi first. I sweated from practicing martial arts and need to take a shower first."

Tanaka Koichi hurriedly agreed, and turned to face Kobayashi Jiro and said, "Mr. Kobayashi, please wait a moment. Our young lady needs to take a shower and will be here later."

Kobayashi Jiro was very excited when he heard that Ito Nanako was willing to see him, but on the surface, he said lightly, "Okay, Mr. Tanaka, I will wait for Miss Ito here."

Ten minutes later, Ito Nanako, who had taken a shower, changed into a simple and plain Japanese-style home wear.

At this time, she could no longer see any traces of practicing martial arts for many years, and she was completely a gentle and traditional Japanese woman.

Tanaka Koichi brought Kobayashi Jiro to Ito Nanako's presidential suite. As soon as Kobayashi Jiro saw Ito Nanako, he was shocked!

He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, My God! Why is this woman so beautiful? So pure?!

Her eyes were clear and shiny, like a work of art carefully carved by heaven. Her egg-shaped face was flawless, her delicate nose tip was like a treasure of the world, and those thin lips as pink as cherry blossoms were charming and dripping, making people yearn for them.

In Kobayashi Jiro's eyes, she was like the clear water of the Heavenly Lake on the top of the snow mountain, dignified, quiet, gentle, and with a bit of coldness.

Just this one look, Kobayashi Jiro fell deeply in love with this woman, and secretly swore in his heart: "No matter what, I must marry her as my wife! Even if I have to marry into the Ito family, I will not hesitate. Because apart from her, in this world, I can never find such a perfect woman again!"

Kobayashi Jiro desperately suppressed the desire for Ito Nanako deep in his heart, but Ito Nanako still discovered that trace of desire that could not be suppressed from his eyes.

This made her feel a little disgusted in her heart, feeling that Kobayashi Jiro's look was like a drop of greasy pork lard dripping into a cup of fine clear tea.

However, she couldn't show her disgust, so she could only say very politely, "Mr. Kobayashi, sorry, I kept you waiting just now."

Kobayashi Jiro hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, Miss Ito, don't be so polite. I came to visit presumptuously, it was actually my rudeness, please don't mind."

As he said that, Kobayashi Jiro sighed with regret and said, "I just arrived in Jin Ling this morning. After completing the entry procedures, I came directly here. I didn't have time to go to the gymnasium to watch Miss Ito's competition today. I heard that Miss Ito defeated her opponent in just one round today. I failed to see it, which is a great pity!"

Ito Nanako said, "Mr. Kobayashi is too polite."

"From now on, I will definitely be there to cheer for Miss Ito in every competition!"

"To tell you the truth, my Kobayashi Pharmaceutical sponsored the final of this competition. By then, I will personally present the trophy to the champion of the competition. I can't wait to look forward to the day of the final, and personally present the trophy to Miss Ito!"

Ito Nanako said humbly, "Mr. Kobayashi, before the competition is over, no one knows who the champion will be. Although I have the confidence to win, I dare not say that I will definitely be able to win the championship."

Kobayashi Jiro hurriedly said, "I believe Miss Ito will definitely have no problem!"

Ito Nanako smiled, remembered her father's instructions, and said, "Mr. Kobayashi, it's noon now, why don't you stay for lunch together."

When Kobayashi Jiro heard this, his whole heart was trembling with excitement, and he said excitedly, "It is a great honor for me to have lunch with Miss Ito!"

Ito Nanako said to Tanaka Koichi, "Tanaka-san, please move to the restaurant in this presidential suite with us, and serve lunch for me and Mr. Kobayashi by the way."

In fact, although Ito Nanako was the eldest lady of a top big family in Japan, she had always been independent and rarely needed many people to serve her like other rich second generations.

So, she never let Tanaka Koichi serve by her side when she ate, but today she really didn't want to be alone with Kobayashi Jiro, so she prepared to keep Tanaka Koichi by her side, which could be considered a buffer.

Tanaka Koichi heard the eldest lady's instructions and naturally nodded without hesitation. Kobayashi Jiro thought that Ito Nanako was used to having people serve her when eating, so he didn't take it to heart. After all, even if he went out to eat in a restaurant, there were waiters serving by his side.

Arriving at the restaurant, Ito Nanako and Kobayashi Jiro sat opposite each other.

Because the area of this presidential suite was very large, the restaurant was also very spacious and luxurious. A rectangular western dining table could accommodate at least 12 people to dine together.

So the two sat opposite each other at the edge of the western dining table, and the distance had a certain guarantee, which made Ito Nanako feel a little more at ease.

After Kobayashi Jiro sat down, he took the initiative to find topics to chat with Ito Nanako, and said, "Miss Ito should have been in Jin Ling for a long time, right?"

Ito Nanako nodded and said, "I've been here for twenty days."

Kobayashi Jiro asked again, "Then I wonder if Miss Ito has had a good time in Jin Ling? This city is still very beautiful."

Ito Nanako asked faintly, "Has Mr. Kobayashi been to Jin Ling before?"

"Oh, for the first time." Kobayashi Jiro sighed and said, "Actually, Jin Ling is a sad place for me. If it weren't for Miss Ito participating in the competition here, no matter how beautiful this city is, I would definitely not come."

Ito Nanako asked in surprise, "Mr. Kobayashi, how do you say that?"

Kobayashi Jiro pretended to be sad and said, "I have a rebellious brother who was obsessed with ghosts and used poison to poison our common father..."

"Our Kobayashi family launched a bounty order to clean up the portal. My brother was killed by a bounty hunter in Jin Ling some time ago. I don't even know where his body is buried now..."
