The two of them had chosen a window seat, where they could see the bustling traffic with a slight turn of their heads.
"You've become even more radiant since we last met."
He sat down brazenly across from Yukino Yano. Compared to his casual attire, she was wearing a formal suit, looking like a very professional office lady.
"When did you become so glib? Congratulations on becoming Far Moon's First Seat. I watched that match on TV; it was spectacular!
By the way, I brought the Yukishita Family's cooperation proposal.
The family wants to invite you to be the spokesperson for our chain stores. The endorsement fee is twenty percent of the profits. I worked so hard to secure this, so praise me!"
Placing a contract on the table, Yukino Yano spoke in a tone of seeking credit. This was all her hard work, and it was also her first move.
To make her family accept Hoshino Sora, they first needed to see the benefits he could bring.
This was Yukino Yano's strategy.
"A spokesperson, huh? Indeed, the endorsement of Far Moon's First Seat holds a lot of value; the title alone can attract countless people. But it's so sudden."
Hearing Yukino Yano's words, Hoshino Sora was clearly taken aback. He had thought she wanted to discuss a partnership to source raw materials from him.
He didn't expect it to be about a spokesperson...
"Influence is one aspect, and another is your good external image. You're handsome and attractive, very popular with girls. Putting your poster at the storefront would also be very eye-catching.
You've really blossomed this year. No wonder you've captivated so many girls."
Carefully observing Hoshino Sora's face, there was a significant change compared to the beginning. Firstly, his facial features became more defined, and secondly, his muscle lines became more pronounced.
He exuded an indescribable charm. Both men and women passing by couldn't help but glance at him, some even staring.
"Are you praising me for being handsome? Although it's true, if you want me to be a spokesperson, the first thing to do is to take me to verify the qualifications of the stores. I will only endorse stores that meet the standards."
Because he wasn't short on money, he could be willful.
Wanting to show value didn't mean being compliant in everything. Being compliant might make the other party think he was easy to bully. At such times, he had to set standards and show his personal style.
Hoshino Sora thought this.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Yukino Yano naturally couldn't refuse Hoshino Sora's small request. She also knew that the gourmet world had its rules, and she knew his dedication to food as a chef.
"Have you had breakfast?"
"I have, but accompanying you for another meal isn't out of the question," Hoshino Sora replied naturally to the inquiry.
"Then let's order."
As she spoke, Yukino Yano called the waiter. Since the time was between morning and noon, they decided to have lunch directly, and then go to inspect the chain stores opened by the Yukishita Family.
Calling it an inspection was actually just a tasting.
Although it was a chain store, the food in the restaurant was uniformly controlled by the Yukinoshita Group, but it was difficult to guarantee consistent quality. Therefore, to protect the reputation of its products, the Yukishita Family would take time each year to find people to act as evaluators and conduct large-scale evaluations.
Then, they would bring in and train chain stores that didn't meet the standards. It was precisely because of such strict quality control that the Yukishita Family's chain stores were so successful.
"I'll have a pan-fried Italian cod, a prime ribeye steak, and a pudding. What do you want? This restaurant's food is quite good; you might like it."
"The same as you."
Hoshino Sora casually responded. He didn't have much expectation for this restaurant, but as long as the ingredients were good enough, even if the Chef's skills were average, it could still taste very good.
Yukino Yano's ordering method was also correct; generally, in such flamboyant restaurants, a simple steak was the best dish they could make.
"Okay, then two servings of those."
Returning the menu to the waiter, Yukino Yano turned her gaze back to Hoshino Sora.
"Work matters are done; now it's time to talk about personal matters, isn't it?"
As she spoke, Yukino Yano stood up from her chair and then sat beside Hoshino Sora, their seating arrangement changing from "opposite" to "close."
"Personal matters? Elaborate on personal matters."
Hearing Yukino Yano's tone gradually become ambiguous, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but reach out and wrap his arm around her soft waist, a meaningful smile on his face.
"I've successfully broken off the engagement. They were all very excited when they found out my man is Far Moon's First Seat, and then when I said I wanted to break off the engagement to cling to your big thigh, they immediately agreed."
Yukino Yano said truthfully, her words filled with uncontrollable excitement, because this meant that her and Hoshino Sora's love had been recognized by her family.
"That truly is fantastic news! We should celebrate. Speaking of which, you haven't tried my cooking yet, have you? How about you come to my Xingye Restaurant tonight? I'll make you a Full Manchu Han Imperial Feast!"
Hoshino Sora suggested. Yukino Yano hadn't eaten his cooking since acquiring her Gourmet Cell, and even now, her Gourmet Cell was only at Lv2. While not weak, it was far behind others.
"Sounds good. Once I'm done with the endorsement, I'll have time. School's also starting summer break, so I can come find you every day from now on."
Yukino Yano naturally accepted Hoshino Sora's invitation with a joyful smile on her face.
She had long wanted to taste her husband's cooking. Speaking of which, he had many in his harem whom she didn't know, so this was a good opportunity to greet them.
"Phew…"
Letting out a long sigh, Yukino Yano began to ponder what gift to bring. Her first meeting gift shouldn't be too shabby; lipstick should be fine, right?
"Here are your dishes, esteemed guests. Please enjoy."
As they spoke, the restaurant staff brought out the dishes. Hoshino Sora frowned after just one bite. The cooking temperature was off; this chef's skill wasn't great, or he wasn't cooking seriously.
He looked up at Yukino Yano's reaction and saw she was enjoying it immensely, which immediately stopped his urge to complain.
While the taste wasn't great for him, it was enough to make his wife happy. Her blissful expression didn't seem fake. He felt it wasn't good because he had tasted truly delicious food.
However…
Looking again at the thoroughly enjoying Yukino Yano, a strange thought arose in Hoshino Sora's mind.
She enjoyed the food from this kind of restaurant so much; when she tasted his cooking, wouldn't she just fly to the heavens?! Oh no, he was a little excited for Yano's reaction tonight!
"Honey, look, that person is so unrefined. Eating steak with chopsticks looks so out of place. Could it be his first time eating steak?"
While he was thinking, Hoshino Sora suddenly heard a mocking voice.
