"My aunt said she's going to look at apartments this afternoon. Is Songzhi going?"
The boy looked up, glanced at Tomatsu Tomoka on his right who was looking at the podium, and then at Mochizuki Haruka on his left who was staring at him.
The girl gestured towards him with her lips.
Then, as Jun Matsue got into the car, he saw his aunt's aloof little face.
Chapter 801 Aunt's Commoner Meal
As the school bell rang at 12:30, Jun Matsue, carrying his bag, walked out of the school gate with Haruka Mochizuki and naturally saw the black sedan parked not far away.
The glossy black body gleamed under the midday sun, its imposing silhouette subtly exuding the grandeur and authority of a wealthy family.
The boy turned to look at the calm-looking girl beside him.
"Is there anything you want to tell me, Mochizuki?"
"What did you say?" Mochizuki Haruka looked at him.
"For example... how to deal with your aunt?"
Aside from their previous three meetings, Jun Matsue has yet to formally face his aunt since embarking on this "sinful" path of love.
Judging from all the signs, his aunt's attitude towards him was definitely not very good...
With that thought in mind, the car was almost in front of him. The boy composed himself and opened the car door for the person next to him first.
Sitting in the back seat, Mochizuki looked up and briefly met his gaze—
The woman's soft gaze paused, then quickly turned sharp and hostile. She pursed her rosy lips, and her naturally alluring face became aloof.
"..." Matsueda Jun stepped back, letting the girl next to him get into the car first.
As Wangyue's swaying skirt slipped into the back seat, as if triggering some kind of mode-switching mechanism, her aunt's smiling voice drifted out of the car.
"Xiaoyao's out of school?"
"Mmm—" Mochizuki Haruka's voice was a little uneven as she stretched comfortably after sitting down.
Why isn't Songzhi on the bus yet?
"You're here." Jun Matsue then bent down and got into the car. "I was just saying hello to my classmates."
As soon as he closed the car door, the noise from outside immediately subsided. The boy leaned his backpack against the side of the back seat, greeted the woman who was staring at him with a sunny smile.
Good afternoon, Auntie!
"..." Wang Yuehua put her arm around her niece's shoulder, turned her face to look at the front of the car, and snorted loudly.
"Who's your aunt?"
How come he's just like Mochizuki when he gets all tsundere... Matsueda Jun blinked.
"Can we set off now?" Mochizuki Haruka leaned on her aunt's arm, not forgetting to hold her boyfriend's hand.
"Shall we go straight to Meguro?"
"Hmm." The woman's voice softened again. She looked in the rearview mirror in front of her, and the maid, who was acting as the driver, immediately understood and started the car.
"Let's go straight to Meguro to look at apartments, and then find a place to have lunch on the way—you guys haven't had lunch yet, have you?"
"Mmm." The girl nodded and squeezed her large hand that was clasped in hers.
What does Songzhi want to eat?
The boy looked up, and his aunt's gaze followed him.
Wang Yuehua revealed a fierce expression behind her niece—she didn't seem to be asking what was for lunch, but rather like a mother leopard protecting her cubs.
"I'm fine with anything." Jun Matsueda's expression remained warm.
"However, try to avoid eating cold foods like sushi. It's better to eat something warm in winter."
"So many demands!" the woman snorted again.
“I also want something hot,” Mochizuki Haruka echoed her boyfriend.
"But I don't want to eat ramen or anything like that—it would be a hassle if soup got splashed on my school uniform."
“No problem~” Wang Yuehua smiled and rubbed her hair.
"Mmm, a hot lunch where the soup won't splash on me..."
"There are so many choices, let me think about what I should eat..."
"..." Jun Matsue held the girl's small hand without saying a word.
Watching his aunt affectionately embrace his girlfriend, he had a vivid feeling for the first time that he had become a "son-in-law".
Twenty minutes later, the black sedan temporarily exited the Capital Expressway, turned right at the intersection in front of Chudae Station, and went into a side street lined with restaurants.
Matsueda Jun got out of the car first, and as he watched Mochizuki duck out of his side of the car, he felt a strange sense of victory. He then looked at the woman getting out of the car on the other side.
Perhaps because she was chatting with her niece and exchanging glances with the boy in the car, switching between expressions was a bit tiring. The aunt no longer had a stern face, and her usual lazy and noble temperament reappeared in her eyes.
Wang Yuehua pulled her long trench coat tighter around her as she watched the young man and woman walk towards her. She then pointed to the sign across the street behind her.
"This is for lunch? Is that alright?"
Junichi Matsueda was the first to enter the shop. He looked around at the space filled with the aroma of food and quickly found a table for four.
After pulling out chairs for the women behind him, Jun Matsue first wiped the table with a tissue and then spread the menu out in front of the two women.
"Wangyue and Auntie, please order first."
Wang Yuehua pulled her niece to sit down. She raised her left hand, which was holding her handbag, and the boy naturally reached out and took it, placing it on the empty seat next to him.
"He's got quite the boyfriend potential." The woman nodded in satisfaction and moved the menu closer to the girl next to her.
"What does Xiaoyao want to eat?"
Mochizuki Haruka glanced at it casually.
"My aunt said the takoyaki here is delicious, so I can just eat the takoyaki."
"Then, according to Xiaoyao's taste, I'll order you teriyaki takoyaki with scrambled eggs and salad." Wang Yuehua took a sip of the ice water the boy handed her.
"As for me, I'd like to try the tomato cheese meat sauce takoyaki that I haven't had in ages!"
She licked her lips, then looked up at the boy who was observing her, and pushed the menu towards him with a nonchalant expression.
Jun Matsue gently bit the ice cube in his mouth, flipped through the menu, and then looked at the food preparation counter in the store.
"I'd like a plate of stir-fried noodles, a plate of beef belly skewers, and a plate of fried octopus."
The woman blinked in surprise. "So many?"
“Pine branches have a bigger appetite in winter,” Mochizuki Haruka answered naturally for the boy.
“It must be because the weather is colder, so we’re consuming more energy,” Jun Matsue smiled.
He raised his arm and called out to the shop assistant in just the right volume—
"Please order."
Wang Yuehua rested her chin on her hand, watching the boy sitting opposite her politely talking to the shop assistant.
"..."
"What is Auntie thinking about?" the girl beside her asked, staring at her profile.
“When I used to go out with Xiaoyao, I was always the one who ordered the food…” Auntie said softly, continuing to observe the boy opposite her.
His appearance is one in a million; he is adept at handling interpersonal relationships, adaptable, and possesses exceptional physical and intellectual abilities...
Becoming a son-in-law in the Wangyue family would be the perfect fit.
"Would you like something to drink?" Jun Matsue turned to ask them. "The waitress said the new oolong tea they recently launched tastes pretty good."
Wang Yuehua looked up and saw the female shop assistant holding the order board smiling at the boy.
"..." The woman's face hardened again.
"No need! Just order quickly and serve the food quickly!"
The most despicable thing about Matsue is that he's such a good person, and he's already become the son-in-law of the Mochizuki family, yet he doesn't want to marry into the family and instead goes around having affairs!
Matsueda Jun was stared at angrily by her until the shop assistant brought over steaming hot takoyaki, at which point his aunt's stalking finally stopped.
The boy's lunch hadn't arrived yet, so he moved the glass and kettle on the table to make room for the two of them.
The two beauties from the Wangyue family took off their coats in unison, their movements pleasing to the eye.
Mochizuki Haruka straightened the collar of her school uniform shirt and pulled down her knitted vest embroidered with the Haneoka High School emblem before picking up her chopsticks and lifting a hot takoyaki from under the smooth, tender scrambled eggs, taking a small bite.
"It's so hot." The girl exhaled softly, picked up the water glass, and took a sip.
"But the taste is not bad."
"This is a restaurant that I personally selected, how could it possibly be bad?"
Wang Yuehua, standing to the side, was also exhaling lightly onto the takoyaki. Her aunt was wearing a wine-red turtleneck sweater underneath, the delicate texture of the knitwear distorting her chest, the curves rising and falling with her exhalation, making her particularly eye-catching.
Jun Matsue craned his neck and glanced behind the woman; his fried noodles were ready to be served.
"I never expected my aunt to bring us here to eat takoyaki," the boy chuckled. "It feels so ordinary."
"What's wrong with commoners?" Wang Yuehua swallowed her food and raised an eyebrow.
"Whether you have money or not doesn't affect your taste buds. Were the eel rice we ate back then really that expensive?"
She was referring to the time shortly after she fell into a coma, when Jun Matsue and Haruka Mochizuki took her out of the hospital for a meal, and the woman was still wearing a hospital gown.
Objectively speaking, eel rice is definitely more expensive than takoyaki, and by a significant amount...
Of course, Jun Matsue didn't say that. He got up, took the teppanyaki noodles handed to him by the clerk, sat back down, and smiled at his aunt.
"Isn't this a good example of the Mochizuki family's upbringing? No wonder Haruka is so popular with her classmates."
The woman proudly puffed out her chest. "Of course!"
"..." Wang Yueyao glanced at her aunt beside her and took another sip of ice water.
My aunt had been so fiercely scolding Songzhi in front of her, but after we met, she seemed to have calmed down.
That won't do. If Auntie accepts that scumbag Songzhi like that, how can she enjoy Songzhi's preferential treatment?
"Auntie, try this teriyaki sauce."
The girl decided to shut her aunt up with dumplings to stop her from talking to the boys.
"Mmm..." Wang Yuehua tilted her head and took a bite.
"It doesn't taste as good as my tomato cheese meat sauce!"
As Jun Matsuo ate his fried noodles and the beef skewers that followed, he watched as two beautiful women, one big and one small, fed each other—today's lunch was exceptionally delicious.
Each serving of takoyaki had eight pieces, and since it was served first, the women of the Mochizuki family naturally ate them faster. When there were only two takoyaki left on the plate, Mochizuki Haruka picked one up and placed it on the boy's fried noodles.
"Give it to the pine branches."
Jun Matsue looked up. "Haruka, would you like to try some stir-fried noodles or skewers? They're both pretty good."
The girl glanced at the stir-fried noodles, which were rich in sauce and glistening with oil, and then reached for the beef belly skewers next to her.
"I'll try this."
The boy put down his chopsticks and took a break. He pulled out a tissue to wipe the sauce from the corner of his mouth, and a somewhat affected cough came from beside him.
Jun Matsue shifted his gaze from Mochizuki, who was chewing beef, and met the eyes of the woman beside him who was covering her mouth.
"...Does Auntie want some water?" He picked up the water bottle next to him.
"No!" Wang Yuehua frowned, somewhat annoyed.
Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to eat?
"Since you want to be with Xiaoyao, even if you don't marry into the Wangyue family, you're still part of the Wangyue family. You should be more proactive and enthusiastic towards me, understand?"
"..." The boy blinked, then revealed an exceptionally bright smile.
"Ok."
Perhaps his aunt's behavior was just being unreasonable, but he didn't feel angry or helpless.
The fact that her aunt wanted her to get closer to her meant that she also considered her Xiaoyao's true partner and that they were family.
