"This place has been cleaned up. Let's go help Izumi-san make a cup of tea. It's not very convenient for me to move now..." The woman stroked her bulging belly and said in a low voice.
"oh……"
Sakurai Ruiko took the opportunity of being summoned and escaped to the kitchen.
"Izumi-san."
"Um."
"Leizi, isn't this pretty cute?"
"yes."
"So, when will you..."
"I want to hear the baby's voice."
The woman who was interrupted did not show any dissatisfaction. She gently opened her hands towards Izumi Toru.
"Come."
Carefully kneeling in front of her, he gently put his arms around her waist, put his ear against her belly, and closed his eyes.

The sounds that can be heard are still limited, and it is just a luxury to be able to feel the force of the baby's kick, but Izumi Toru is satisfied enough.
Guang Xin's life is growing healthily. Even without his own company, Qing Ji and Igarashi will cultivate him into a talented person.
"Miss Schnee, I'm sorry about you."
Hearing Izumi Toru's murmur, the woman was stunned for a moment.
"However, I am very touched to be able to become the father of my child..." Izumi Toru rubbed his cheek against her belly, "I am very satisfied..."
"That's it," the woman stroked his hair gently, with doting and tenderness in her eyes.
"Izumi-san~"
"Um."
"I have no regrets..."
Izumi Toru slowly raised his head, and the woman held his face and kissed his lips.
A pure kiss that expresses affection, as light as a feather and as lingering as a silk thread.
At this time, Sakurai Ruiko came out with tea.
Seeing this scene, she stopped in her tracks.
The girl couldn't explain how she felt. She always felt that something was blocked and uncomfortable.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Sakurai Ruiko coming over. The woman immediately pushed Izumi Toru away, then twisted her face and straightened her hair.
"Leizi, you, you came out..."
The girl lowered her head and said "hmm" softly. She placed the tea in front of the two of them and returned to the bedroom without saying a word.
The two people in the living room were silent for a moment.
It was Izumi Toru who spoke first,
"Miss Schnee."
"Um."
"Would you like to be another Mrs. Izumi?"
The woman was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, she covered her mouth and breathed softly.
The sudden words made her a little confused.
"Why, why suddenly..."
Her voice was trembling.
"Don't want to?"
The woman hurriedly shook her head, "No, no!"
"Then, are you willing?" Izumi Toru held her hand and looked at her with burning eyes.
Subconsciously, she wanted to agree immediately.
Whether it is out of a rational judgment on how to get better attention in the future, or an emotional impulse to pursue happiness, agreeing to him is the best and only choice.
However, the struggle and pain Sakurai Ruiko showed when she put down her tea just now made it difficult for her to ignore.
After thinking for a while, she squeezed Izumi Toru's hand.
"Izumi-san, just hearing your words makes me so happy that I want to cry."
"so......."
"However, I can only be the mother of my child, but I cannot be Mrs. Izumi."
Izumi Tetsu frowned.
"Why?"
She looked at Sakurai Ruiko's bedroom and whispered, "If I promise you, the future she wants will never come."
"What if I have to ask you to agree?"
Izumi Tetsu's unyielding words made the woman a little surprised.
This shouldn't be what Izumi-san said...
But since he asked this question, he must answer it seriously.
"Then I will accept it regardless of anything."
This is the response she gave us after asking ourselves.
"Mrs. Izumi."
"Huh? Huh? Huh?! Oh...um..."
It seemed that she didn't expect Izumi Toru to suddenly call her that. The woman was stunned for a long time before she realized what she was doing.
Looking at her blushing cheeks due to shyness, Izumi Toru smiled.
"so cute."
"Cute and so on...where is it suitable for me..."
"Everyone has a different view of cuteness, which shows that the perception of cuteness is inherently a subjective judgment. Now there are only you and me in the living room. If I say you are cute, then you are cute and cannot be refuted."
Seeing what he said so forcefully and seriously, the woman covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Yes, yes, then I will accept the lovely compliment."
Perhaps because she had been in contact with Izumi Tetsu for a long time, the woman found that occasionally she wanted to become more childish.
In this way, it will be cuter and more suitable for him...
Sakurai Ruiko stayed alone in the bedroom, and the scene she saw in the living room often appeared in her mind.
She could clearly see the shyness and happiness on the woman's face.
Angry?
Sad?
Is it ridiculous or so sad that it only leaves despair?
She lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with dull eyes and a dull expression.
Obviously, she had known for a long time that the father of the child was Izumi Toru, and she had obviously been prepared for this. But today, only this time, she was so sad that she couldn't help herself.
I want to cry......
Can't cry, can't cry.
I will never cry again.
winter!
winter!
winter!
There was a knock on the door.
Sakurai Ruiko did not get up.
After a while, the knock on the door sounded again.
"Leizi, can I come in?"
"......Um."
Sakurai Ruiko wanted to hear what she had to say.
The door was unlocked, so the woman turned the handle, opened the door and walked in.
Looking at the girl lying on the bed like a stone, the woman pursed her lips.
"Sorry, Ruizi."
"You shouldn't apologize to me, and you have nothing wrong with me." Sakurai Ruiko said in a very stiff tone.
"Izumi-san, you just proposed to me."
Hearing these words, the girl's heart twitched.
She finally turned to look at the woman beside the bed.
"Well, isn't that great?"
As soon as the hoarse voice came out, Sakurai Ruiko herself was surprised.
Is this my voice?
It sounds really ugly and embarrassing.
The woman flipped her hair around her ears and said, "I refuse."
After a moment of silence, Sakurai Ruiko asked:
"I'm obviously so happy to be proposed to by him, why should I refuse?"
"I'm not good enough for him."
"......oh."
Sakurai Ruiko didn't know what to say.
Thank you? Sorry? What does it have to do with me?
It's not appropriate to say anything, so just stay silent.
"Come out with me."
After saying that, the woman left the bedroom.
After a while, Sakurai Ruiko slowly got up and came to the living room.
In the living room, the woman was gently stroking Izumi Toru's face, and the latter was lying on the sofa, sleeping soundly.
You want me to come to the living room just to watch this?
When the girl was feeling sad, the woman waved to her.
"Come."
Despite her inner doubts, Sakurai Ruiko walked over.
"Izumi-san, I've been under a lot of pressure lately."
"Him? What kind of pressure can he have? He has good grades and is good-looking. He used to be physically weak, but now his shortcomings are gone. Not to mention that there are so many women who like him..."
