Chapter 584: Chapter 480: This Country is Doomed, Madam Please Behave Yourself_2
"Godfather." Aoyama Xiu Xin bowed to Yanchuan Xianyou’s parents with Asai Ayumi, and then accepted the gift from Asai Ayumi and presented it with both hands, "This is a small token from Ayumi and me, wishing you a happy birthday, fortune as vast as the East Sea, and longevity beyond the southern mountains. May you enjoy this day every year."
"Let’s see the gift from Xiu Xin." Yanchuan Shilang opened it on the spot, spread out the scroll, and said, "Good! Very good! Xiu Xin and Ayumi have been thoughtful. I really like this gift. I’ll hang it in my study, in the most conspicuous place."
He casually passed it to his son, the respectful and compliant president of Yanchuan, already in his fifties.
"Please have a seat, make yourselves at home." Yanchuan Shilang invited them to sit and pointed to the mountain of gifts, saying helplessly, "I didn’t want to host a large banquet because it’s such a hassle, but these people still sent their secretaries and drivers to deliver the gifts. It’s like this every year, and the house can hardly accommodate them all."
"This is all because Godfather is deeply loved and respected by everyone; everyone wants to express their feelings on this auspicious day," complimented Aoyama Xiu Xin.
"It’s the position I hold that they love and respect," Yanchuan Shilang said, undeniably waving his hand and laughing. He picked up a teacup from the table and took a sip, "The work you did on the investigation committee was well done."
"It’s all part of my duty. Without Godfather, I wouldn’t have my success, so naturally, I should help you ease your worries," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied respectfully.
Yanchuan Shilang nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "I am glad you think this way."
"Grandfather, everyone has been sent off," Yanchuan Xianyou and Asakawa Xia entered, he exhaled and said with a forced smile, "There are fewer people this year."
Asakawa Xia sat close to him, smiling and affectionately wrapping her arm around his.
"Those who didn’t come are just foolish and opportunistic," Yanchuan Shilang said, unconcerned.
Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t understand, "This is..."
"The national elections are about to begin, and things don’t look optimistic for the Liberal Democratic Party. The next Prime Minister might come from another party. Some short-sighted people might think Grandfather’s position is about to be unstable," Yanchuan Xianyou scoffed, disdainfully.
If the Prime Minister were not from the Liberal Democratic Party but from another party, then after taking office, he would certainly dissolve the Cabinet to reorganize it, placing his party’s top officials in crucial departments, including Yanchuan Shilang’s positions as Minister of Autonomy and Public Security Committee Chairman.
Yanchuan Shilang remained calm and methodical, "The Liberal Democratic Party has been plagued by scandals in recent years and the economy has been sluggish during our governance, indeed gradually losing the public’s heart. But the foundation from governing the nation for decades is still there. Even if it’s momentarily feeble, it will definitely not remain so. It’s just out of necessity that we temporarily hand over power to recuperate, but we will reclaim it sooner or later."
He paused, "Once a group of new people are in charge, the citizens will realize those who have never governed and only talk big are far worse than the Liberal Democratic Party. This is an era of comparing the bad."
"Grandfather, you..." Aoyama Xiu Xin furrowed his brows, appearing to be concerned about his grandfather’s future.
But in reality, he was worried about his own future.
Yanchuan Shilang was confident, "Xiu Xin, you need not worry. No matter which party comes to power, if it’s not the Liberal Democratic Party, then it’s bound to be a weak government. The new Prime Minister will only secure his position by compromising with other forces."
He was a high-ranking member of the Liberal Democratic Party and would inevitably be part of the conditions of compromise. Even if he relinquished the positions of Minister of Autonomy and Public Security Committee Chairman, he would still have a seat on the new Cabinet ship, and a first-class one at that.
"Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin bowed slightly in response.
His current status was not yet such that he needed to worry about elections and political changes; as long as his own patron was stable, then he too felt secure.
"Alright, since it’s Grandpa’s birthday today and we’re all gathered as a family, let’s not talk about these things. How about we have a barbecue in the yard at noon and dine together in the evening?" Asakawa Xia clapped her hands, cheerfully suggesting.
"That’s a great idea, grilling while chatting, it brings more of a family atmosphere," Yanchuan Shilang responded cheerfully.
"Then it’s settled!" Asakawa Xia quickly got up and called out to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Xiu Xin, help me prepare the ingredients. You are skilled in Chinese cooking, so please help me mix the barbecue ingredients as well."
"This... Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin, resigned to his fate, stood up and reluctantly agreed.
"Husband, could you guys move the stuff to the yard first," Asakawa Xia hooked her corner of her mouth and waved at Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Come on, let’s go to the kitchen."
Aoyama Xiu Xin closely followed behind.
As soon as he entered, Asakawa Xia abruptly turned around.
Aoyama Xiu Xin hastily retreated in panic.
Asakawa Xia grabbed the tie of Xiu Xin and pulled him towards her abruptly, making their bodies nearly touch. She tilted her head up, her expression a mocking smile, and said, "Xiu Xin, you are still so afraid of people."
"Madam, please show some self-respect," Aoyama Xiu Xin, sweating profusely and speaking nervously, emphasized the word ’Madam’ as if to remind her of her status as a married woman, but in reality, it was to heighten her sense of taboo pleasure.
"Are you very afraid of being discovered?" Asakawa Xia reached out and gently traced Aoyama Xiu Xin’s lips, her breathing slightly hurried. "I really miss Xiu Xin’s eloquence."
"Sister-in-law, please stop, I can’t betray Brother Xianyou anymore, I’m leaving," Aoyama Xiu Xin said abruptly and struggled to break free, turning to flee.
Asakawa Xia’s voice was clear, "Stop!"
Aoyama Xiu Xin subconsciously stopped and looked back, immediately panicking as Asakawa Xia had already torn open her own clothes, revealing a large expanse of skin, trembling with each breath and making his head dizzy.
"What do you think would happen if I screamed that you molested me right now?" Asakawa Xia revealed a wicked smile, her eyes filled with threat and excitement.
Aoyama Xiu Xin, as if he had lost his soul, pleaded, "Sister-in-law, don’t play with me, do you really want me dead?"
"I wouldn’t bear to see you die; just behave, and everything will be fine," Asakawa Xia spoke as she stepped forward and gently caressed his face. She leaned in to kiss him, her breath fragrant, and whispered, "The less you cooperate, the more I want to possess you. Just serve me well and who knows, maybe I’ll get tired of you, and I won’t trouble you anymore. What do you think, Xiu Xin?"
I know all too well that you’d quickly get bored.
So, I’m intentionally not cooperating!
"Sister-in-law..." Aoyama Xiu Xin felt like crying.
"Come on, what’s a man doing looking like that? Here’s the deal: I’ll reward you today, and then you help me. If you don’t behave, that’s not being good," Asakawa Xia patted his face and said cheerfully.
Over an hour later, Aoyama Xiu Xin and Asakawa Xia came to the backyard with cured meat and barbecue ingredients.
"Fresh ingredients and grill stuff, coming up!" Asakawa Xia, having just witnessed Aoyama Xiu Xin’s fluent speech, appeared radiant, her complexion glowing.
Yanchuan Xianyou joked, "It took you so long; I thought you were snacking in there."
"That’s right, we’re stuffed," Asakawa Xia’s voice trembled a bit, feigning composure and coyly chiding. She and Aoyama Xiu Xin had indeed been feeding each other in the kitchen just earlier.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Aoyama Xiu Xin.
He was looking down, his eyes not daring to meet Yanchuan Xianyou, burying himself in starting the barbecue.
Seeing this, she felt even more smug and in high spirits.
All day, Aoyama Xiu Xin endured various kinds of subtle and overt flirting from Asakawa Xia, like when she hooked his palm secretively or rubbed his leg with her foot, pretending to be helpless while relishing it secretly in his heart.
He always stuck to one rule: never let Asakawa Xia easily get what she wants from him. The unattainable always stirs agitation, making her ever more desperate.
After dinner, Aoyama Xiu Xin and Asai Ayumi left together. He first dropped Ayumi off at her home and then took a ride to attend a Xiongcheng Association internal gathering.
A car was blending into the traffic flow, following from behind at a distance. Jin Yucheng didn’t notice immediately because the road was crowded with vehicles at that time.
