When Jiro Kobayashi walked in, Nanako Ito couldn’t help but frown slightly.


    Since theirst lunch together, Jiro Kobayashi had made five unwanted visits, leaving Nanako feeling quite troubled.


    During their dinner that day, she had tried to convey her perspective on choosing a partner, emphasizing that her ideal match should be stronger than herself, hoping to dissuade Jiro. Unfortunately, it seemed hepletely missed her point.


    To make matters worse, he had moved from the Shangri-La room to the Aurous Hill International Hotel, choosing to reside directly across from Nanako, which only added to her frustration.


    Her father, Ito Yuhiko, kept urging her to be more amiable towards Jiro Kobayashi, which only deepened Nanako’s sense of despair.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    She felt a wave of disgust, unable to express anger or dismiss him; it was as if a bothersome fly was buzzing incessantly around her ears.


    Even though Koichi Tanaka was fully aware that the eldestdy despised Jiro Kobayashi, he had toply with the president’s orders. He epted the flowers Jiro offered with a respectful tone, saying, “Mr. Kobayashi, we appreciate your thoughtfulness on behalf of our eldestdy!”


    Jiro Kobayashi nodded and approached Nanako Ito. With a charming smile, he said, “Miss Nanako, I’ll be cheering for you from the audienceter.”


    Nanako replied tly, “Mr. Kobayashi, I prefer to have some quiet time before thepetition, so please leave for now.”<fn490e> Get full chapters from findnovel</fn490e>


    Jiro smiled back, “I won’t disturb you; I’ll just quietly watch, Miss Nanako!”


    Surprised by his persistence, Nanako responded coolly, “Mr. Kobayashi, please let me be. I intend to rest my eyes for a bit.”


    Jiro nodded and casually took a seat diagonally across from her.


    As he observed Nanako Ito, her beautiful eyes gently closed and her face serene, he couldn’t help but admire her again.


    He thought to himself: This woman embodies tranquility, yet her movements are graceful and lively. On stage, she is a force to be reckoned with, but here she appears soft and serene, with a beauty that epitomizes the ideal Yamato Nadeshiko, beloved by Japanese men!


    The term Yamato Nadeshiko, while not a personal name, signifies a unique aspect of Japanese culture. It describes exceptional women who are quiet and reserved, gentle and thoughtful, mature and stable, embodying noble virtues and possessing remarkable grace.


    In Japan, women who fit the Yamato Nadeshiko mold are often viewed as the ultimate goddess, the epitome of the ideal partner worth pursuing with unwavering dedication.


    Thus, Jiro Kobayashi viewed Nanako Ito as his perfect lifepanion, determined to do whatever it took to win her over!


    A man who could win the heart of such an extraordinary woman would truly lead a fulfilling life!


    ……


    Ten minutester, a staff member from thepetition organizingmittee knocked on the door and announced, “Ms. Nanako Ito, it’s time for you to prepare for the arena. Yourpetition will take ce in the second ring.”


    Nanako Ito stood up, gave a slight bow, and said, “Thank you!”


    Meanwhile, Yamamoto Kazuki, standing nearby, wore a stern expression. He inquired, “Which ring is the Chinese yer Aurora in?”


    The staff member replied, “She is in ring number four.”
