    For Takehiko, apanying Nanako to settle in China after leaving his homnd was partly because his legs had fully recovered,


    And he didn’t want to stay in Japan and cause a stir,


    And partly because he hoped his daughter could soon marry Charlie.


    Nanako’s decision to leave Japan ande here to be with Charlie was also driven by a pursuit of true love.


    Therefore, her father’s words didn’t make her blush.


    Instead, they gave her immense support.


    His words showed he had given his all.


    As long as she could marry Charlie,


    Her father didn’t even care who the Ito family would be in the future.


    If she truly married Charlie, the entire Ito family would be her dowry.


    After marrying Charlie, she would not only take his surname, bing Wade, but any children she bore would also bear the surname Wade.


    The Ito family would then cease to exist with her generation.


    However, if she hadn’t met Charlie, ording to her father’s and the customs of thoserge Japanese families, the Ito family would definitely have taken in a son-inw.


    In Japan, a son-inw who marries into the family has even less dignity than one in China,


    Because not only do the children born to the son-inw take the woman’s surname,


    But the son-inw himself also has to change his surname to the woman’s.


    In that case, the Ito family could have continued to exist and multiply,


    Instead of ending abruptly in his generation.


    Thinking of this, Nanako was moved but also a little sad.


    She softly asked her father, “Odosan, if we don’t take in a son-inw,”


    “The Ito family might not have any more descendants.”


    “Can you…Can you really ept that?”


    Takehiko smiled and said, “As long as you truly marry well in my eyes, what is there not to ept?”


    “What needs to be passed down is not just the surname,”


    “But also the bloodline.”


    “As long as the bloodline can continue, the surname is not that important.”


    After saying this, he sighed, “Many years ago, our family took in a son-inw who sacrificed his own surname to marry into the Ito family.”


    “The head of the Ito family at the time, to prevent him from changing the Ito family name in the future, even hunted down the maid and illegitimate child who had an affair with him.”


    “You see, even if you take in a son-inw, it’s not really that worry-free.”


    “You still have to be on guard.”


    “Rather than that, it’s better to simply not care.”


    “Moreover, Charlie is truly a rare and wonderful man.”


    “If you could marry him, even if I died right now,”


    “I would die with a smile on my face.”


    “As for the name Ito, I don’t need it.”


    As Takehiko said this, Nanako’s eyes were already a little red,”


    “And she murmured softly, “Thank you, Odosan…”


    Then, Takehiko suddenly chuckled and said,


    “Of course, we exchange sincerity for sincerity.”


    “If you really marry Charlie in the future and give him four, five, or six sons,”


    “I will kneel on the ground and beg him to allow one of your sons to take the Ito surname…”


    As he spoke, he looked at Nanako and asked seriously,


    “Nanako, do you think Charlie would understand and be considerate of me?”


    Nanako had just moved, but suddenly her father made her bothugh and cry.


    Giving birth to four, five, or six sons? What did he take her for?


    Other fathers dote on their daughters and don’t want them to have many children,


    But her father actually hoped that she would have four, five, or six sons.


    So, she muttered shyly, “Charlie will be here soon.”


    “If you want to know if he will understand you, you can ask him yourself.”


    Takehikoughed and said,


    “The Ito family never asks for anything in return.”


    “They always give first.”


    …


    As evening fell, Charlie drove to Shanheyue, following the location sent by Nanako.


    Located on the eastern slope of Zijin Mountain, it wasn’t far from Maria’s Zijin Vi.


    This was Charlie’s first time visiting this vi area,


    And he discovered that the building density was even lower than that of Tomson,


    And it was a pure vi area, unlike Tomson, which included high-rise apartments to meet its floor area ratio requirements.


    All the vis in Shanheyue were designed in a traditional Chinese courtyard style.


    To maintain the ssical Chinese aesthetic above ground,


    The entiremunity implemented a pedestrian-vehicle separation system.


    Vehicles were not allowed on the surface and had to ess their respective vis’ basements via the underground garage.<fn1129> Read full story at find[?]ovel</fn1129>


    Nanako, always thoughtful, waited for Charlie at themunity entrance before getting into his car and guiding him into the underground garage.


    As Charlie drove into the underground parking garage,


    Nanako hesitated for a long time before asking,


    “How have you been these past few days?”


    Charlie shook his head: “I’ve been in seclusion,”


    “But because I can’t calm my mind, it hasn’t been very effective.”


    Nanako sighed: “It must be because you miss Ms. Willson too much, right?”


    Charlie didn’t shy away from the question, nodding slightly and saying,


    “I’ve been thinking about where she is, how she’s doing, and so on.”


    “I’m also hoping that Detective Li will find a clue soon,”


    “So I haven’t been able to concentrate on my cultivation.”


    After saying that, he asked Nanako,


    “What have you been busy withtely?”


    Nanako said, “I went back to Japan a few days ago.”


    “Oh?” Charlie asked curiously,


    “Why did you suddenly go back to Japan?”


    Nanako asked him, “Do you remember the amulet that I gave you before?”


    “I remember.”


    Charlie nodded and said, “I think you got it in Japan?”


    “Yes.” Nanako nodded and said, “I got it at Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto.”


    Charlie asked her, “You didn’t go to get another amulet, did you?”


    “No,” Nanako said somewhat sadly.


    “I went back this time because the abbot of Kinkaku-ji Temple, Master Kūin, passed away.”


    “I had received guidance from him before,”


    “So I went back to pay my respects.”


    Charlie had always been an atheist and did not believe in any religion,


    So he knew nothing about Master Kūin.


    When he heard that Nanako had gone back to pay her respects to a high-ranking Buddhist monk, he didn’t find it particrly special.


    He simply said casually, “You traveled all that way to pay your respects.”


    “This monk must have been very remarkable.”


    Nanako nodded. “Master Kūin was the most respected monk in all of Japan.”


    “He lived to be 125 years old when he passed away.”


    Charlie asked her, “So old? Was he a monk?”


    Nanako shook her head and said, “No, he was obsessed with Buddhism his whole life.”


    “Spending his entire life studying Buddhist scriptures and doctrines.”


    Charlie was somewhat surprised.


    It was truly rare for an ordinary person to live to be over 120 years old.


    However, rare doesn’t mean nonexistent, so he didn’t take it too seriously.


    He then asked her, “Was the funeral of such a national treasure-level monk very grand?”


    “Not really,”
