His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

682 A PERFECT MOMENT

Emi knew she should try to break her fall as she tilted backwards. She should have anticipated her fall… if only she trusted her instincts. Now, she was going to break her skull, possibly her legs. If she was careless, she might break a rib or two and puncture her lungs.

The overly dramatic thoughts drifted through her mind as she fell, and she did not do anything to break her fall to the floor of the room she had opened.

Just when she thought she was going to crash onto the hard ground, she felt her world shift; it was like the sky was turning. The strong arm around her waist tightened, and a strong force turned her body just before she hit the ground.

Instead of lying on a cold hard surface, she found her body lying on top of the warm body of one Yagi Seiryo. She was shorter than he was, so her head landed on his chest, and her legs tangled with his as she landed safely.

The grunt Yagi made as he landed on the carpet was unassuming and low, but Emi heard it. Still, she could not help the grimace that showed up on her face. She was glad that the flooring in the room was not the hard granite of the hallway.

The thick carpet minimised the effect of the forceful fall.

For a long moment, after they fell, her head rested on his hard chest. She could not see it, but his pectoral muscles were chiselled like those of a sculpture. She listened to his fast heartbeat for a few seconds before breaking out of the daze.

She lifted her head and looked at his handsome face. While he did not have an out-of-the-world appearance, his face was chiselled. The hard lines of his face were distinct, giving him the look of a tried and true Mediterranean model.

The classic look was perfect for his personality or so Emi thought in his daze.

.....

The two of them looked like they were frozen in time ad space as they looked at each other. Emi was enthralled by the attractive man while Yagi could not think with the scent of the beautiful woman surrounding him.

Not to mention, both of them had just experienced some physical trauma.

“Darling, what are those two people doing?” A sickly sweet voice sounded above the two people tangled on the floor.

The voice belonged to a grown-up, but the tone was somewhat infantilised. The resulting outcome was a sound that inspired both care and disgust. It was obvious that the owner of that voice was trying to make herself cute.

“Do not worry about them.” A man with a gruff voice answered. “They are just playing around.”

The woman with the sickly sweet voice responded immediately. “People really know how to have fun here.”

The man was sombre as he replied. “Do not be naughty. Most of the people here are dangerous. You cannot afford to offend them. If I am not around, you should keep to yourself.”

“I know! You do not have to remind me.” The woman replied with a tinge of disobedience, despite her compliance.

“You brat…” The man chastised with laughter in his voice.

As the voices faded away, Emi and Yagi looked at each other as they remained in the same position. Emi was on top, but she knew she could not move before the two people in the hallway left the scene. Between the two of them, she was the vulnerable one.

Yagi had a lot of options for dealing with a small character like the man who was blatantly cheating on his wife.

However, her current position was that of a simple teacher without a background. If push came to shove, she could use her family background to get out of trouble. But she was not ready to give up her current life just yet.

The cheating man was one of the parents from the Blue Monarch Institute. She was familiar with him because his wife was quite the troublemaker. Every time their son was punished, the woman would come to the staff room and cause a scene.

If the teachers refused to comply, she would call her husband to threaten them. This husband was involved in the political arena while his wife was from a plutocratic family with extensive generational wealth.

This man needed support from his wife’s family, so he indulged her ridiculous behaviour and spoiling of their son. Ultimately, in politics, one needed to have a reliable financial background to stay on top and climb the ladder.

If he thought someone would expose him as a cheater, he might silence them to protect his political career. Such a person might go to unknown lengths if he knew about Emi seeing him.

When the cheating couple disappeared, the two people on the floor looked at each other awkwardly for a long moment.

“Sorry!” She said awkwardly before standing up. She tried to be as innocuous as possible, but she could not avoid touching him as she scrambled up. She felt his hard abdominal muscles with her hands, and her strong hips moved up his thighs when she stood up.

Yagi tried to hold back as he felt the sensations on his body with each slight movement from Emi. However, he knew that his self-control could mean the difference between Emi trusting him and her rejecting him forever.

Therefore, he did not move a muscle as he watched her stand up and close the door, blocking the fading voice of the old man and his mistress. After a few moments, he felt composed enough to stand up and face the woman he had been thinking about since he met her.

“Emi!” he called out.

Emi was still mad, so she crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him with annoyance. Even though he protected her when they fell, it did not mean she had forgotten everything. In the dim light of the room, her face was still visible.

Yagi reached out and put his hands on Emi’s shoulders. She pouted with annoyance, but she did not push him away. It could be seen that she was softening.

“Emi, I have been alone for a long time. And even when I have people around me, I cannot be careless. I need to be vigilant because a moment of carelessness could mean death. I have lived a life that forces my gut reaction to lean towards shooting first and asking questions later.” He looked into Emi’s eyes. “I do not know a lot about you, but I know I can trust you.”

Emi felt her nose turning sour and tingly when she heard the words. She did not want an apology for the sake of it. She just wanted to know that Seiryo did not think she would ever hurt Misaki. She just wanted to know if he trusted her.

She turned her head and sniffled a little. She did not want to lose her composure, but there was a sweet relief as the burden on her heart lifted.

“To be fair, I did break your bodyguard’s arm.” She said with a small smile.

Yagi knew she forgave him with that joke.

“He had it coming.” He also smiled. “I am sorry, Emi.”

Emi lifted her arms and gave him a quick hug. When she was going to let go, he held her by the waist and returned the embrace.

And for that moment, everything was perfect.
