His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 646: OLD ENOUGH

“Uncle...” Misaki spoke up in a small voice.

Yagi’s mind cleared up after hearing his niece’s voice. His anger did not dissipate, but he calmed down. He had protected his niece from the violence of his world and displays of anger because he wanted her to grow up pure and without a care.

It was already hard for her to grow up to this age. If she was exposed to negative things, she might recall the reason she had to be with him as her guardian. And he did not want her to relive the nightmare of losing her father.

This was also the reason he did not often return home. Sometimes, the blood and violence of his life clung to him. And he did not want his niece to associate her guardian with the same people who killed her father.

Therefore, he opted to remain in one of his many hotels after finishing his work.

He turned to look at his niece. He looked at her for a long moment before he realised that she had changed a lot. He remembered that she was always a simple and cute girl with a bright mind and an irresistible sweetness.

Something seemed different.

.....

Perhaps it was the streaks of colour in her black hair along with strange hair accessories. Or it was the strange makeup on her face. Or maybe, it was the way she was subconsciously chewing gum as she waited for him to say something.

For the first time, he questioned his decisions.

Had he neglected her to the point where she changed without his awareness?

His eyes softened a little as he looked at her and remembered the little girl who followed him around calling him uncle repeatedly. He had found her a little annoying, but she was like a bright little star to him.

“It is alright.” He said in a gentle voice. “Wait for me outside. Let me talk with your teacher for a moment.”

Misaki felt nervous and looked at Teacher Emi with concern. She was worried that her innocent teacher might be swallowed up by her evil uncle.

Yagi noticed the gaze and felt helpless. He was her blood relative. Why was his little niece looking at the teacher as if she wanted to protect her from him? And the teacher was even complaining about her to him...

He had truly fallen from grace as an uncle.

“What can I do to your teacher?” He asked flatly with a sigh. “I merely want to ask her about your progress and how things have been going on for you. I realise that I have not been paying attention to your education. It is time that changed.”

At the mention of her current school situation, Misaki felt nervous and rushed out of the office. She was too afraid because she had done a lot of bad things lately. She could only hope that Teacher Shio would be on her side.

As soon as the door closed, Yagi turned his eyes to Emi.

“Please, sit down.” Teacher Shio pointed to the seat across from her desk.

Yagi sat down on the chair, even though it confined his long legs. He faced the good teacher directly and waited for her to continue talking. Emi picked up a pair of cat-eyes glasses with black frames and positioned them over her nose before turning to her computer.

Yagi frowned a little when he noticed the lenses were not prescription. He was keen on small details because of his line of work. With those glasses, she looked like the fuel of schoolteacher fantasies.

However, he was a little concerned about the strain that might come from wearing unnecessary spectacles.

“Why are you wearing glasses if you do not need them?” He could not help asking.

Emi looked up in surprise. She did not think that he would notice something so minor.

“They are glasses for protection against blue light. They are technically prescription glasses from an optometrist, just not for vision correction. Blue light causes deterioration of the cornea, retina and the lens.” Emi replied as she pulled up Misaki’s digital file from her database.

“Are you sure you are not wearing the glasses to appear more mature and imposing?” Yagi smiled craftily at the beautiful teacher as if he could see through her. “Are you even old enough to be out of school?”

Emi’s hackles rose immediately after hearing the provocative words. She had dealt with people who looked down on her because of her age and youthful appearance. In the world of academia, young age was not an advantage.

“I am old enough.” She retorted.

“I am glad to hear it, Teacher Emi,” Yagi said with a deep undertone.

Emi looked up from the computer because she thought that the way the man said the words were a little strange. It was as if there was a hidden meaning in it. However, she could not figure it out. She thought for a moment and concluded that he was probably concerned about her qualifications.

“You can rest assured that I am completely qualified to be a teacher. I am more qualified than most teachers here, even though I am twenty years old. I have two bachelor’s degrees, one master’s degree and three post-graduate diplomas.” She replied to reassure him.

Yagi was speechless. His attempt at flirtation met with a simple and direct answer. He wondered if he had lost his touch. He was considered the most eligible bachelor in a lot of places. Women were always attempting to get together with him.

Now that he had discovered the woman he wanted now and forever, she did not respond to his light flirtation.

“You sound a little overqualified to be teaching fifth grade,” Yagi said after a few moments of recovery.

“I am,” Emi replied directly. “Let us discuss Misaki.”

Yagi became a little more serious. “What is going on?”

Emi snorted. “If you had not tried to ignore my calls and use other diversions, we would have discussed this issue much earlier. But I guess better late than never.”

Yagi realised that his ideal woman was quite petty and liked to hold small grudges. But that made her even more adorable and perfect to him.

“I am sorry. I promise to answer all your calls immediately from now on.” Yagi replied, unable to resist flirting with her once again.

Emi tilted her head as she felt, once again, that she was missing something again. However, she dismissed her thoughts. Maybe, the pressure was getting to her. She needed her blowdown to let go of all her repressed stress.

“That would be best.” She replied to Yagi without thinking deeper before continuing. “Misaki is a good girl. Based on my assessment, she is smarter than anyone knows. I would go as far as saying she is a genius.”
