His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 665: KICKED OUT

The silence stretched on for two minutes.

Yagi did not seem to mind the dead air, but to Emi, the silence was loud and unbearable. And the longer the moment went, the more frightening it became for her. She felt like a criminal waiting for her sentencing in court.

She was afraid it was going to be the death penalty.

Without careful consideration, she decided to make a pre-emptive strike. If she confessed her wrongdoings first, she might receive mercy.

“Mr Yagi, it is not what you think,” Emi said while looking earnestly at the man.

This time, Seiryo did not correct Emi or ask him to call him by his given name. He wanted to know what the little teacher was thinking. Judging from her earnest expression, she was probably overthinking the reason he called her to his office.

“What do I think?” he asked with hidden amusement.

.....

Emi did not notice the hint of teasing because she was distressed. “Given what happened outside, I would not blame you for being cautious of me. You probably think that I am some sort of unruly and unscrupulous person who cheated the school system to get a job as a teacher.”

Caught up in her internal turmoil, she stood up and walked with frustration in front of the desk. “If I were you, I would think the worst of me. I will understand if you want to report me to the board. But you should know that I am not a violent person, and I would never cause harm to people indiscriminately.”

Yagi watched the little lady pacing as she tried to put her thoughts into words. At first, he was keenly listening to her words, but he was distracted almost immediately.

All the times he met her in the past, she was in school. Therefore, she was always in official clothes, usually, a smart skirt or dress. While she always looked beautiful, she also had a bit of a forbidding air around her, like a proper teacher.

Today, she was dressed in tight jeans and a fitting t-shirt. The outfit was casual and simple by all standards, but Yagi could not get enough of her as she paced. Every turn of her body was hypnotising as it showed off her beautiful curves.

Emi returned to her seat and looked at Yagi seriously. “What do you think?”

Yagi was torn out of the haze he was in and found Emi looking at him expectantly. Immediately, he realised he might have missed some of what Emi was saying while coveting her beauty. Luckily, he was a man with a flexible mind.

“Perhaps, you should tell me more.” He said with a subtle smile.

Emi looked troubled. “I know I should not ask you to trust me without details. The thing is, I grew up in a competitive environment, and it influenced me. I kinda got used to fighting, and sometimes, the instincts take over.”

“Of course, as I grew older, I changed my path and realised that I did not need to be so cutthroat. I would never do anything bad to anyone unless I feel threatened. I promise it was self-defence. Naturally, the decision is up to you.” Emi said with moist rabbit eyes.

If anyone saw the scene, they would think that Yagi was chastising her. She looked docile and repentant, the complete opposite of her image when he found her at the entrance of the house. That harmless look somehow made him want to bully her more.

She was like a lost pet without a sense of direction. And he wanted to tease her and play with her.

When he called her to the office, he only intended to let her know that she did not have to teach Misaki for the day. He was not sure exactly what happened outside, but she looked upset about it. He did not want her to feel pressured after an uncomfortable ordeal.

Although she looked like she was in good spirits after entering the house, he was worried that she was forcing herself for Misaki’s sake.

Now, he realised the two of them were worried about different things.

Based on her continued babbling, she was worried about his thoughts concerning her beating up the inappropriate bodyguard. She even thought he was going to report her for inappropriate behaviour to the school board.

The thought was a little too funny.

Even if he were not interested in her, it would be beneath his position as the head of the yakuza to report such a matter. He was not someone who would be fazed by a little bloody action, and he would not be petty as long as no real harm was done.

And since it was Emi, he would never harm a hair on her head. Instead, he was anxious to deal with anyone who had evil thoughts towards her.

But he could not let her know of his intentions. Not yet!

He could use this incident to further his plan to kidnap her as his most beloved bandit wife. He could not waste such a wonderful opportunity to uncover her identity, layer after layer. He had already learned it was hard, if not impossible, to find a breakthrough into the mysterious background of the little teacher using normal channels.

He had already learned a lot more about her through her senseless talking than he had from the flimsy file from Forest.

“I see.” He said calmly. “Where did you grow up?”

He did not like the sound of the description Emi gave her of her growth environment. If it was a cutthroat place where one had to learn how to fight so mercilessly, it was probably an ugly place full of evil people. He could not imagine that his sweet creature had suffered so much.

But again, she could hold her own.

Unfortunately, remembering how Emi broke his bodyguard’s hand did not comfort him. It just made him sad. He could not imagine what she had gone through to be able to switch from her warm and sweet image to a murderous side.

Emi did not know that Yagi had come up with an angsty background for her. Sure, Martial Island was a place for the tough, but she came from a good family with a lot of love. The suffering he imagined for her... It did not exist.

Things were just a little complicated.

“I grew up abroad.” She responded in a low voice after a short hesitation.

She could not expose her true origins to Yagi, no matter what.

Yagi could tell she was lying, or at least, hiding something.

But before he could ask, a soft knock came from the door. Yagi looked at Emi for a long moment before responding.

“Come in.” He said.

The young bodyguard called Shi stepped into the office. His eyes swept over Emi before resting on Yagi. The two seemed to communicate with their eyes for a nanosecond before Yagi turned to Emi.

“Go on and find Misaki. You can probably follow the sound of her voice.” Yagi said. “If you get bored, feel free to walk around.”

Emi felt like she was pardoned.

As she left the office, her eyes rested shortly on Shi before opening the door. Obviously, it was a good thing she had escaped the interrogation because she could not answer Seiryo’s questions.

However, she did not know why she felt a little sour and uncomfortable at being kicked out.
