Chapter 295 The Birthday Gift Chosen by Nanaya
🕑 Added 2025-04-10 15:13:28 +0000 UTC"Come to think of it, you came to attend someone's birthday party, did you buy a birthday present?"
"I bought it. Lily told me specifically when she invited me." Nanaya pointed to the luggage he brought and replied, "She also told me that it would be best to choose her sister's favorite sapphire jewelry."
"Haha, does that little girl really want to send her sister away?"
Ori immediately thought of Lily's desire to throw Nanaya into her sister's bed.
It can be seen that in order to become Nanaya's sister-in-law, Lily has done things very blatantly.
[Isn't that young lady quite popular? Why is she so obsessed with her senior? ]
According to the information we got, there are quite a few people who like Ryan and pursue her.
You have to know that in terms of status, Ryan is the eldest daughter of the Wetting family, and she is one of those who is doing quite well among the British aristocracy.
Marrying her would not only provide a long-term meal ticket, but would also enhance the family's status.
After all, if you want to find a family in the whole of Britain that is more powerful than the Wetting family, it is only the Windsor family, which has an ancestor who has lived for a very long time.
At the same time, Ryan herself is an outstanding woman who is both beautiful and capable. I believe no man would not be moved when facing such a beauty.
But because Ryan herself is a very outstanding woman, it becomes a very difficult task to conquer her.
If marrying a girl is like an interview, then Ryan is definitely the most difficult interviewer of all.
From this perspective, Nanaya has indeed surpassed all the other men pursuing Ryan, because he has an insider who helps him, even he doesn't know about it.
Lily is not the kind of person who likes to do things secretly. She had expressed her intention to match Nanaya with her sister in front of people she knew a long time ago.
It can be said that except for the two parties involved, everyone else in the small circle knew about this matter.
Ryan and Nanaya didn't know because Lily thought they knew their own business, but in fact, neither of them knew anything.
In fact, after getting involved with Rin, Nanaya has rarely paid attention to other girls, at least not in that sense.
After all, you are already eating what is in the bowl, and it is not good to look at what is in the pot.
At the same time, the other women did not tell Nanaya about Lily's plan. They knew that their internal situation was already chaotic enough, and adding a few more enemies would be a big problem...
How much does one have to drink to do such an irrational thing?
But it’s nonsense to say that Nanaya has no feelings for Ryan. Just as Nanaya said to Ori on the plane before, who wouldn’t like a beautiful woman?
But Nanaya's attitude towards Ryan is more of an appreciation, which is a man's praise for a woman.
So Nanaya would "watch Ryan from a distance" because he also knew that Ryan was the kind of girl who couldn't be "played with".
Fortunately, the fact that Lily secretly helped Nanaya was not known by Ryan's other suitors, otherwise they would have tied this ungrateful guy to a rock and thrown him into the English Channel.
Thinking of this, Ori suddenly became curious about how Nanaya would use that little traitor.
"So what kind of sapphire jewelry did you buy for Miss Lane? Earrings? Necklace? Bracelet? Or ring?"
"It's not that kind of thing." Nanaya waved his hand and said, "I brought Ryan a Saber shell limited edition JDS handheld game console from Washimine."
"Ha?"
Ori's first reaction was that handheld game consoles could also be used to make jewelry, and then he realized that Nanaya had not used Lily's advice at all.
"Because if I give her jewelry, Rin will be angry... And this version of DS is only sold 1,500 units worldwide, and it's Lily's character. I believe it will be very memorable for Ryan."
Nanaya answered while touching his nose. Perhaps thinking of Rin who was still in North America, the expression on his face became a little embarrassed.
Ori thought of something, and asked with his hand covering his forehead, "So on Rin's birthday this year, you will give her a JDS with a Tohsaka Rin shell and a ruby jewelry?"
"Um...how did you know that?"
Nanaya was stunned. He really thought so.
"Because your behavior is so easy to guess." Ori said proudly.
"I just thought it wouldn't make her angry."
Rin will definitely know that I gave Ryan a gift, so if that's the case, I'll just compensate him a little more when the time comes.
This was Nanaya's truest thought, but he was severely despised by Ori.
"You're really good at balancing the two." Ori turned his head away and said, "Be careful not to overturn it. I don't want your head to be resting in the arms of some busty woman during your memorial service."
"Hey, my last name is Kiryu, not Ito!"
But Nanaya's words were of no use at all.
The Wettin family's estate is in the suburbs of London. After leaving the airport, Nanaya and Ori took a car for several hours before arriving at Ryan and Lily's home.
However, it is different from the large British manor covering hundreds of acres in Nanaya’s impression. Although Ryan’s manor is indeed very large, this manor building located on the plain has a strong German style.
Nanaya himself is not an expert in architecture. When he was in college, he only took a very basic course on Western architectural style.
Unfortunately, the decoration style of this house is very different from the houses I have seen along the way. Anyone with a little knowledge can immediately feel it.
"Mr. Kiryu, Mr. Ryougi, long time no see."
A familiar figure stood at the door of the manor. It was Clouzot, the old butler of the Wettin family whom he had met before.
As soon as Nanaya and Ori got out of the car, he immediately bowed to them in a serious manner.
"Long time no see, Mr. Clouzot."
Nanaya smiled and greeted the other party.
But Clouzot didn't show any smile on his face: "I will take you to see the lady. Please follow me."
After saying this, the old butler turned around and led Nanaya and the other person into the manor.
Nanaya followed Clouzot with an awkward look on his face. He secretly asked Ori beside him, "Why is he so serious?"
Ori snickered and said, "Maybe he's upset with you because he knows you want to seduce their eldest daughter~"
"Don't talk nonsense! Can you just say something like this casually?"
Nanaya quickly stole a glance at Clouzot, but he could only see his back and had no idea whether the other party had heard what he said.
[I hope the other person is old and didn’t hear it. ]
Just when Nanaya was wishing this in her heart—
From the front came a familiar and cheerful voice greeting him.
“Yohoo—Director Kiryu, you’re here!”
“Lily…”
When Nanaya looked up, he saw Lily, in a white short skirt, waving at them desperately from the pavilion in the garden not far away.
This white miniskirt looked familiar to Nanaya. After careful examination, she found that it was a discarded design of Altria's costume in the movie, except that the main color was changed to white, which Lily herself liked more.
The design of this suit was originally abandoned because it could not perfectly match the armor. Nanaya did not expect that Lily would use this design to make a set of her own.
When Nanaya and Ori were about the same distance away, Lily stood up and ran towards them quickly.
"Director Nanaya, it's been a long time since we last met. Were you surprised when you saw my house?"
Lily asked playfully while spinning in front of Nanaya.
"Yeah, the style is quite different from the ones around here." Nanaya nodded and replied.
"Well, when the surname was changed, didn't our family change it? My great-great-great-grandfather was very angry at the time. He said, 'In this case, I might as well be a German.' And he directly changed the house into a German style."
"Isn't he afraid of being charged with treason?"
There was a big "embarrassment" written on Nanaya's face.
When Wettin changed his surname, it was during World War I. In order to prevent the people from thinking that the royal family had any connection with their relatives in Germany, they changed their name from "Wettin" to "Windsor".
"Who knows what he was thinking? It is said that he was summoned for questioning and placed under house arrest when the house was halfway renovated, and was not released until the war was over."
Lily shrugged and answered indifferently, as if that unfortunate ancestor had nothing to do with her.
"I heard that you, the director, also bought a house?" Lily asked curiously, grabbing Nanaya's hand.
"I'm surprised you asked that, but I did buy it."
Nanaya was shocked.
"Uh-huh."
Lily nodded her head: "Then my sister and I will go to your house for the New Year this year. I also want to see your new home."
“…”
Nanaya didn't know what to say. It was obviously his own house, so why did these women treat it like their own home?
Perhaps I could interpret Nanaya’s thoughts from his expression.
"Ahaha, aren't we a loving family?" Lily deliberately smiled foolishly. "My sister and I have no relatives in Japan.
Are you so cruel to let us spend the New Year in a cold embassy?"
"Um……"
Nanaya couldn't refute it for a moment. He glanced at Ori beside him and asked, "Are you and your sister going home for the New Year this year?"
"No, Shiki has been forced to get married by her mother recently, and now she has a fear of going home."
Ori seemed to have thought of something and laughed out loud with his hands covering his mouth.
"Last time she was almost caught by someone using her power as a girl, luckily I provided cover for her."
"Why don't you just go on the blind date on your sister's behalf?"
Seeing Nanaya's curious look, Ori raised an eyebrow.
"If I am willing, does my sister still need to go on a blind date?"
[So you are the one who is pitting me, right? ]
Nanaya observed a second of silence for Shiki.
"Director Nanaya! I'm talking to you. What do you think of my proposal?"
Lily pouted and dragged Nanaya past him. He kept talking to Ori, which made Lily very unhappy.
"Okay, I get it. I'll have a New Year's party then."
Nanaya thought about it for a moment, and considering that Rin would probably come during the New Year, he decided to just invite everyone.
[But before that, I have to move into the new house in advance, at least for one day! That's my house! ]
Nanaya swore secretly in his heart, completely forgetting the fact that half of his villa still belonged to Shion.
