Charlie encountered Ito Yuhiko once more and was pleased to see him in remarkably good spirits.


    For Yuhiko Ito, regaining the use of his legs felt like a second chance at life, deepening his appreciation for the present.<fn628f> Original content can be found at FιndNovel</fn628f>


    Upon seeing Charlie, Ito Yuhiko greeted him with enthusiasm and respect, personally stepping forward to wee him inside while pouring tea and water. Despite his bustling activity, he couldn’t help but radiate excitement.


    Nearby, Tanaka Koichi disyed such respect that he seemed eager to maintain a continuous ny-degree bow.


    Charlie returned their greetings, his curiosity piqued as he took in the surroundings. With a smile, he remarked, “I’ve been living in Tangchen Yipin for a while now, but this is my first visit to such a high-rise.” He then gazed out through the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the winding river outside as he eximed, “The view here is truly spectacr! Mr. Tanaka, you have an excellent taste.” Tanaka Koichi, standing nearby, respectfully replied, “Mr. Wade, I originally intended to purchase the penthouse upstairs. Unfortunately, ady bought it moments before I could. If you had managed to acquire it, the view would have been even more magnificent!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie nodded, smiling as he responded, “This view is already wonderful. Knowing how beautiful it is here, I should have considered buying a unit myself.”


    Nanako Ito chimed in, “Mr. Wade, you’re wee to visit often in the future. I’ll ask Tanaka-san to take your fingerprintter, so you can treat this ce as your home. If we’re not around and you wish to spend some quiet time here, feel free toe up anytime.”


    Charlie hesitated slightly, unsure whether to ept or decline the generous offer.


    Noticing his indecision, Tanaka Koichi quickly interjected, “Mr. Wade, there’s actually no need for fingerprint ess. The door code is simply thedy’s birthday.” Charlie turned to Nanako, suddenly realizing that despite their long acquaintance, he had never learned her birthday.


    This oversight stemmed from the limited time they had spent together, coupled with Charlie’s general indifference to birthdays—he often needed reminders just to celebrate his own.


    Moreover, Nanako had never mentioned when her birthday was or how she celebrated it.


    Understanding that Charlie was unaware of her birthday, Nanako shyly said, “Mr. Wade, my birthday onlyes once every four years…” Charlie’s eyes widened as he suddenly realized and eximed, “Ah, then it must be the 29th!”


    “Exactly…” Nanako nodded bashfully, gazing at him with affection as she asked, “Mr. Wade, do you know what year I was born?” Charlie quickly replied, “Yes, yes, I know…”


    With a smile, Hiroshi Tanaka remarked, “Mr. Wade has already figured out the door code!”


    At that moment, Yuhiko Ito’s younger sister, Emi Ito, appeared with a beautifully arranged table of exquisite Japanese dishes.


    Emi, elegantly dressed in a kimono, approached Charlie, cing her hands together in front of her, bowing respectfully as she said, “Mr. Wade, I’ve prepared a selection of the finest Japanese cuisine for you, with all the ingredients sourced fresh this morning.” The spread featured top-tier seafood, including sea urchin, oysters, sea bream, and bluefin tuna, showcasing the best that the Japanese market has to offer. “Please enjoy!” she added.


    Yuhiko Ito smiled and said, “Mr. Wade, Emi is a master at crafting all kinds of sashimi. Her expertise with ingredients surpasses that of many so-called Michelin-star chefs. The quality of what she handles daily is far beyond what those chefs might even encounter.”


    He gestured toward the tuna sashimi on a beautifully crafted te, exining to Charlie, “These are the cheek cuts of the bluefin tuna. This fishmanded an auction price of three million dors, and just a small portion from its cheeks can cost hundreds of thousands. In essence, each slice is worth tens of thousands of dors, a rarity even in the finest Michelin restaurants.” Yuhiko wasn’t exaggerating; in Japan’s elite culinary circles, the price of genuinely exceptional high-end products can be astonishingly steep.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
