queen sleepless night

On the first day of the new year, the servants of the entire Atobe mansion were in a state of "battle". From the purchase of ingredients at [-]:[-] a.m. to the cleaning inside and outside, butler Fujii came in and out, responsible for the maintenance of each area. Arranging and inspecting, where is not good enough or has flaws, rework quickly without slack.At nine o'clock in the morning, I took two maids with a hearty breakfast and walked up the spiral staircase leading to the second floor. They walked briskly and steadily, stopped in front of the solid wooden door of the study, and said respectfully: "Sir, what do you need now?" Do you want to eat?"

The person inside said: "Leave it alone."

"Yes."

The butler nodded to the maid behind him, turned the doorknob, and gently pushed the door open to enter.

There are three study rooms in the Atobe mansion, each of which has a large collection of books, different types, different decoration styles, but the lighting is equally good, and the one in front of you is the current head of the Atobe family. Dedicated office study.Throughout last year, Hikoichi Atobe presided over the overall situation in the newly established branch in France. He really couldn't spare time to care for his son. Although he sometimes made a phone call, the call time was less than 5 minutes each time. His secretary would notify him that all the staff are here, waiting for the boss to come out for a meeting, or socializing in the mall, which is very annoying.

Hikoichi Atobe loves his work, but he also loves his family, his wife and son even more.

On the corner of the desk, there are several photo frames neatly juxtaposed, which are photos of Atobe aged four to seven. In the summer camp, on the streets of Finland, and under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, his wife held a sun umbrella and hugged the young Five years old, a brat with a little baby fat.Every photo is loaded with memories, but unfortunately, as the child's father, Hikoichi Atobe seldom attended in his world. His son loves tennis, so he ordered someone to buy a net in the backyard of the mansion. The stadium is well-equipped and has everything you need; his son loves to listen to operas, so he spends money to invite top song and dance actors from all over the world, and they come to Japan for several performances every year.He has taste, knows how to enjoy life, and pursues perfection in everything. No matter what this brat likes, even if it's just a whim, he will do his best to satisfy him.

Hikoichi Atobe is a good father and husband, but also an awkward person.

When dealing with his wife and children, he is often not good at words, and what he thinks in his heart is almost the same as what he says on his lips. He is used to making decisions, just like his kingdom, and he must follow his lead in everything.

His wife said that he was not romantic enough and gentle enough, and would rather travel around than stay with him.

Not to mention the son, there is too little communication, even if we meet him, he is not very intimate. The general way of getting along is to ask and answer. I want to chat with him for a while, but I don’t know where to start. So sometimes it's useless to blame the secretary, the root cause is the problem of their father and son themselves.

Probably late last year, he received a tip from Fujii, and only then did he know that his son had someone he liked. It should have been a happy thing, but after inquiring, he unexpectedly learned that the woman's family environment was not good, and then I sent someone to find some detailed information, and looked at the photo of the little girl. Her appearance and facial features gradually overlapped with someone in her memory.

Hiko Atobe insisted that it was impossible, but when he turned to the next page, he saw the colorful headshot of that handsome man on the A4 paper——

"Time! Rain! Yi! Lang!"

Hiko Atobe clenched his fists, his teeth itching with anger, it turned out to be his daughter, it was his!

"Hmph, want to enter the door of my Atobe house? Let's make your spring and autumn dream come true!"

The grievances between the two middle-aged men can be traced back to more than 20 years ago, when they were still high school students.

At that time, Hikoichi Atobe was still secretly in love with his classmate who was one year younger than him. The girl was bright and charming, she liked to talk and laugh, and was lively and active. She was a person whose personality was completely opposite to his own.

But it was just such a person who disturbed a pool of spring water and made his heart flutter, and for the first time he felt his heart beating.

He wants to confess, wants to tell her: stay with me, stay with me, is there anyone more suitable than us in this world?

Hikoichi Atobe had been secretly in love with her for three years, and finally, on the day when the graduation ceremony of the third year of high school ended, with an uneasy mood and inspired by the emotion of parting, he walked in the direction of his sweetheart with a bouquet of roses—— Under that ancient tree, the girl closed her eyes, kissed the upstart boy with rosy cheeks... Hikoichi Atobe's heart was broken, he crushed the rose, threw it into the trash can, and lost himself My first love: Shit!What a fucking shit!

I was sad and sad for several months, until I went to college, under the arrangement of my parents, Hikoichi Atobe met her again.

Shiori Shinohara.

The young lady of the Shinohara family, his blind date.

It's fate!Atobe Hikoichi thought excitedly, in the three years of high school, he didn't dare to say a word to her, every time he just sat quietly in one place, pretending to be indifferent and watching her laughing and playing with other people , did not expect that today, here, he he he...

Shiori flicked her hair, and the first sentence she spoke was: "Atobe Hikoichi, I remember you, we will get married in the future, right? But you are so boring, after marriage, shall we sleep in separate rooms?"

"..."

His heart is bleeding, she hates him so, so much?

Shizhi said again: "Okay, my request is a bit too much, but I am used to sleeping alone, and when I get married, we will share the room. You have one and I have one. If it's okay, you don't want to sleep. Come to my house, I pay great attention to personal privacy, even if you come in, don't rummage through my things... Oh, and, I have a serious cleanliness, no matter what it is, if you have women outside in the future, it's best Don't touch me..." He touched the small leather bag on his lap, took out a stack of small notes and handed them to him, "Look at it, there are too many, I can't remember, I wrote them all down, what's the taboo , look carefully."

"...Miss Xiaoyuan..." After being stunned for a while, he said dumbfoundedly, "I didn't marry into your house..."

Hearing this, she frowned unhappily: "I know, if you don't think it's okay, then let's break up."

"...No, I think it's okay."

"Okay." Her face was full of indifference and indifference. Anyway, marriages between families are like this. How many of them are sincere to themselves?It's not all because of the Shinohara Zaibatsu behind her. Although she is a high school classmate, she doesn't know Hikoichi Atobe. She is indeed very charming just by appearance, but so what, she predicts that this marriage will be in the It ends after giving birth to a child.

Shiori smiled, not as brilliant as he remembered, "Oh, before I came to see you, I broke up with my boyfriend..."

The first person Hikoichi Atobe thought of was Shigure Ichiro, the bastard who hugged her and kissed Shiori before he was about to confess his love to Shiori.

Hmph, it's better to divide.

He was secretly happy, but calmly comforted him: "Is that so, what a pity."

Shizhi puffed up her cheeks, glanced at him up and down, and let out a bad breath: "What do you know, have you ever been in love? Have you ever liked someone? If it weren't for you, would I break up with my boyfriend? What? Atobe Consortium, what's so great, who wants to marry you? Are you worthy?"

……

Does it match?

Hikoichi Atobe, are you worthy?

How is he unworthy?How come he never liked anyone?He had always liked her, always.

But Shiori never gave him a chance, there was another man living in her heart from beginning to end, and he couldn't get in, no matter what.Sometimes Hiko Atobe wondered, if he had confessed his love earlier back then, wouldn't there be nothing wrong with Shigure Ichiro?

Emotionally, he seems to be like this forever, overly cautious and afraid of failure.

The thoughts that were slowly drifting away were called back by the housekeeper.

Hiko Atobe pressed his forehead, and said a little tiredly: "King Wu wants to bring the girl back? Is it today?"

Fujii reported the truth: "Yes sir, it is Miss Shigure Weiyang who I mentioned to you, the young master has been living with her for the past few months."

"Hmm." After pondering, he folded his hands in front of his chest, with a hint of coolness in his eyes, "Madam is temporarily busy, so I won't be back today. If Jingwu brings that girl back later... just find a reason and dismiss her." Bar."

"……Yes."

Fujii took the two maids out and closed the door gently.

Hiko Atobe walked to the window together, looking at the small tree downstairs that his wife had planted himself, thinking of all the things in the past 20 years, he couldn't help but sneered: "Is it true that you are behind my back?"
