Chapter 256: The Capital

Masayoshi Kishimoto drove to Ueno, Taito District, and instead of driving to the company as usual, he parked inside the underground garage on the negative floor of the high-class elevator apartment where Makoto Natsui lived.

He parked the car and then took the elevator upstairs. He exited the elevator door and walked to the front door of his home, pulling out one of the gate keys here and opened the door directly.

Masayoshi Kishimoto’s sudden appearance took Makoto Natsui by surprise. She was first surprised when she first saw him, then rushed to collect the copy of Weekly Bunshun that was sitting on top of the glass coffee table in the living room.

“What are you holding behind you?” Masayoshi Kishimoto naturally looked inside her eyes at such an obvious and sudden move. He walked to the other party’s front, and once he stretched out his right hand was asked bluntly.

Natsui Makoto was like a small child who had done something wrong, stuttering, “No …… nothing.”

“Nothing, then what are you doing with your hands behind your back?” Masayoshi Kishimoto’s pair of eyes stared at her and said.

Natsui Makoto was holding Weekly Bunshun in her right hand, and held her left hand out for him to pass over, before clipping it behind her back to get the Weekly Bunshun she was holding in her right hand. She held her right hand out for him to see and said, “Look at it! Is there nothing there?”

“Just how stupid do you think I am? Or rather, how blind do you think my eyes really are?” Masayoshi Kishimoto cried and laughed and said.

“Today isn’t a weekend, it’s a weekday, don’t you have to go to work? What’s the point of suddenly running to my place?” Natsui Makoto changed the topic and said.

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t answer and directly started to grab the thing she was holding in her hand. As soon as his right hand went over, she took a step back. When he took a step forward, she followed suit.

Natsui Makoto not only didn’t obediently “surrender”, but also put up a resistance, using her obviously protruding stomach to push against him.

Naturally, Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t dare to confront her head on, so he had to back away and said, “If you don’t show me, I know what you’re holding in your hand.”

“Don’t come and swindle me. Do you really think I’m stupid?” Natsui Makoto said with a triumphant smile showing on her face.

“The thing you’re holding in your hand is nothing more than Weekly Bunshun. The man that appears on its cover is none other than me.” Masayoshi Kishimoto walked over to the long couch in the living room and admitted it to his face as soon as he turned around and sat down on his butt.

“I don’t think …… it should be you.” Natsui Makoto took out the Weekly Bunshun is hidden behind her back and said with an obviously self-deluded tone.

“Fukada Kyouko and I simply had a meal that night and chatted a little more, that’s all. You wouldn’t have even cried because of that one thing!

Then you’re just being silly. If you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about the two children inside your belly!” Masayoshi Kishimoto explained in a serious manner.

Natsui Makoto sat beside him with Weekly Bunshun and said, “I didn’t cry! In fact, I think Ms. Kyoko Fukada is a good match for you.”

“You’re clearly not believing what I’m saying. If it wasn’t for this one bullshit thing, how come I couldn’t even go to the office today?” Masayoshi Kishimoto blurted out.

Natsui Makoto didn’t understand at all, but showed her concern for him and said, “What’s the situation?”

“Right now, my company’s main entrance is surrounded by a group of reporters chasing gossip news. Although I understand that this is their professional characteristic and content, it’s causing me trouble.” Masayoshi Kishimoto had a word to say.

Natsui Makoto finally understood the reason why he ran to his place when he was clearly not at work during office hours. It did indeed affect his normal work and life.

“Ordinary people like us, especially ordinary women, like to read about celebrities, celebrity gossip, gossips and whatnot.” Natsui Makoto said honestly.

“Originally, it’s a form of popular entertainment, but some people just take it at face value.” Masayoshi Kishimoto stared at her face in and couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m not taking it seriously!” Natsui Makoto threw the copy of Weekly Bunshun in her hand to the opposite side and said.

“No wonder you didn’t take it seriously. Your eyes are still red. How many times have you cried over this? In the future, if I’m on the cover of Weekly Bunshun a few more times, won’t you cry your eyes out?

I don’t know if you’ve heard the saying, “Bitches are heartless, and playwrights are unrighteous”. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell if an actress like Kyoko Fukada is acting in front of you or if she’s for real.

The business world is all about deceit, and I’m already tired of it. So, privately, I like to live a simple life, and don’t want to use my brain to guess and think too much.” Masayoshi Kishimoto put away his smiling face and said seriously.

Natsui Makoto’s heart immediately felt much better. She had originally thought that the reason why Masayoshi Kishimoto was unwilling to register his marriage with himself was all because of Kyoko Fukada. Now it seemed that it wasn’t at all.

Kishimoto Masayoshi took the initiative to reach out his right hand to pick up one of her small hands, and then placed it within his left palm to hold it, “You always have to believe that I love you.”

When Natsui Makoto heard him currently say such words to himself, it instantly sweetened her heart. A smile that best reflected the joy in her heart at the moment then appeared on her face as well.

“In the future, what will you do? You can’t keep not going to work at the company, can you!” Natsui Makoto said with a sudden burst of foolishness.

Masayoshi Kishimoto’s first reaction after hearing her words was that a woman would be foolish for three years once she got pregnant. He smiled and said, “Then I won’t go to work. From now on, I’ll accompany you every day and guard you, okay?”

“Good, not good. If you don’t work, then what will we eat in the future? Although the house is yours and you don’t have to pay rent, but you need money for utilities and everything else!

If I don’t work and you don’t work, there will always be a day when we’ll be sitting on our asses.” Natsui Makoto said with an eye on the details of life.

“You’re still the same as in the past, you haven’t changed at all.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with an unchanged smile.

Natsui Makoto then reacted, the storm will always pass one day. When this matter was no longer newsworthy, those reporters wouldn’t be as dead set on pursuing it as they currently were.

To put it bluntly, they might not have enjoyed this kind of work all that much. Many people become part of the paparazzi because they are forced by real life.

Not everyone living in this world has more or better choices. From the day a person is born, the capital that each person has will not be exactly the same.

Those who have more capital have a higher margin for error and can afford to lose. Those with less capital have a low margin for error and cannot afford to lose, which makes them think twice about every step they take.

Natsui Makoto snapped, “Nasty, no laughing at me.”

Kishimoto Masayoshi took her in his arms and said, “I’m not laughing at you. In the future, don’t listen to what the people outside say. Nine times out of ten, their words are not to be trusted.

Besides, you should also know, to my level of men, naturally is less socializing and play games. You should always believe that I love you in my heart.”

Natsui Makoto snuggled into his arms, slowly closing her eyes to enjoy the current warmth and said, “I believe you.”

“That’s right.” Masayoshi Kishimoto hugged her even tighter and said.
