Chapter 342 Three Peaks, My Heart Is Beating So Fast!

The next morning, staff members of the government affairs office arrived at their posts one after another.

Just as Yamanaka Ino finished organizing the trade documents, Kurama Yakumo walked in.

Kurama Yakumo is introverted and usually avoids other people's gaze at this time, but today is a little different.

Her steps were lighter than usual, a faint smile played on her lips, and her eyes shone brightly, radiating an indescribable gentleness.

Yamanaka Ino put down the trade documents in her hand, her gaze sweeping over Kurama Yakumo, and the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.

In the past, Yakumo Kurama was like a green apple, shy and unripe. Every time she met Mitsumine-sama's gaze, she would hurriedly look away.

But now, her cheeks have a natural blush, and even her tone of voice has become more composed.

Like a green apple that suddenly turns into a ripe peach, it seems to burst with sweet juice at the slightest touch.

Yamanaka Ino grabbed her wrist, her tone inquisitive: "Yakumo, what's wrong with you today? You've been smiling all morning and you keep spacing out. Is there something you're hiding from me?"

When she suddenly asked him that question, Yakumo Kurama's cheeks instantly turned red, and his eyes involuntarily drifted to the window.

She stammered, "Ino, no...nothing, it's just...the weather is really nice today."

Yamanaka Ino raised her eyebrows, clearly not believing this vague explanation.

She knows her best friend too well; every time she lies, she subconsciously avoids eye contact and her fingers will gently rub the hem of her clothes.

Looking at her reddened ear tips, a thought suddenly popped into Yamanaka Ino's mind: Could it be that last night... Lord Mimine went to see Yakumo... There must be something going on!

Upon having this thought, and seeing Yakumo Kurama's evasive gaze, Ino Yamanaka instantly confirmed her intuition.

The gentle smile on Yakumo Kurama's lips, and the undisguised happiness, could not be explained by "good weather."

Yamanaka Ino lightly tapped the table, feigning anger: "Well, Yakumo, you actually cheated on me with food! Did Lord Mimine come to see you last night? What did you two do?"

Kurama Yakumo, whose thoughts had been guessed, blushed so deeply she could bleed. She quickly shook her head in denial, "I...I didn't...it's not what you think..."

The more flustered she became, the more guilty she seemed, but the sweetness in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Looking at Yakumo Kurama's appearance, how could Yamanaka Ino not guess what was going on?

She gave a soft hum, but a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.

Even though she was more proactive than Kurama Yakumo and confessed to Mitsumine-sama earlier, it was Yakumo who took the first step.

"Damn it! I tried so hard, but you beat me to it!"

Yamanaka Ino gritted her teeth inwardly, her eyes growing ever more determined: No, I can't give up like this! If Yakumo can win over Lord Sanmine, then I can definitely have him too!

In the afternoon, Uchiha Mitsunori was reviewing documents in his office when Yamanaka Ino walked in carrying a diplomatic letter.

She had specially changed into a light pink shirt today, with two buttons undone at the collar. Her long hair was loosely tied back, with a few strands falling beside her cheeks, adding a touch of feminine charm.

"Lord Mimine, this is a draft cooperation proposal from the Land of Wind, which requires your signature for confirmation."

Yamanaka Ino walked to the desk, but instead of placing the documents on it as usual, she bent down and handed them to Mitsumine.

Her movements were wide and bold, her breasts were partially revealed, and the fragrance of her hair wafted to his nose with each movement.

Uchiha Mitsunori looked down at the documents, sensing the feminine charm that Ino was deliberately exuding.

He looked up and met Ino's bright eyes, then sighed helplessly, "Ino, you don't need to stand so close when handing over documents."

Yamanaka Ino did not retreat, but instead moved even closer.

She deliberately placed her hand on the edge of the table, her fingers lightly tracing the back of his hand: "But this way, Lord Mitsumine can see the contents of the document more clearly."

The back of Uchiha Mitsunaga's hand felt soft and slightly cool to the touch.

Taking advantage of the moment, Yamanaka Ino grabbed his hand, placed it on her face, and gently stroked it, her eyes burning with passion.

"Lord Mimine, my heart is beating so fast! Your hands are so warm, even more comfortable than a heater in winter."

Kurama Yakumo, who was eavesdropping outside the door, heard the conversation inside and his cheeks instantly turned red. He quickly covered his mouth and quietly retreated.

She knew Ino's personality; once she made up her mind, she wouldn't give up easily. She just didn't expect Ino to be so bold as to do such a thing in the office.

Inside the office, Uchiha Mitsumine tried to withdraw his hand, but Yamanaka Ino gripped it tightly.

He looked into Yamanaka Ino's eyes and saw the undisguised love and resentment, and he secretly felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Ino, let go of my hand first, let's talk about work!"

Yamanaka Ino shook her head, instead gripping his hand even tighter and pressing her cheek closer to his.

"I don't want to talk about work, I just want to talk about feelings with Lord Mitsumine. What Yakumo can do, I can do too, and I can do it even better. Lord Mitsumine, can't you even give me a proper look?"

As she spoke, she deliberately licked the back of his hand lightly with the tip of her tongue, her eyes filled with allure.

Uchiha Mitsunori avoided her overly intense gaze, his expression becoming more serious: "Ino, you need to be mindful of your behavior during office hours."

But Yamanaka Ino wouldn't give up. After releasing Mitsumine's hand, she turned around and went behind him, gently hugging his neck and pressing her face tightly against his cheek.

"Discretion? How come Lord Mitsumine doesn't show any discretion towards Yakumo? When you went to see her last night, why didn't you think about being mindful of your boundaries?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mitsunori's body suddenly stiffened slightly.

He hadn't expected that Yamanaka Ino would find out about this so quickly!

Could it be that Yamanaka Ino saw me when I went to find Kurama Yakumo last night?

Uchiha Mitsumine took a deep breath and tried to pry her hands off: "Ino, what happened between me and Yakumo is between us. Don't make trouble for us."

With a choked sob in her voice, Yamanaka Ino showed no sign of letting go: "I'm not being unreasonable! I just like you and want to stay by your side, is that wrong? Yakumo can be your woman, so can I! Lord Mimine, please give me a chance, okay?"

Her warm tears quietly soaked his neck.

Sensing her tears, Uchiha Mitsunori stopped moving.

"Ino, I know you like me, but you can't force feelings."

Yamanaka Ino clung tightly to his neck, refusing to let go: "I don't want anyone better, I only want you..."
