My wife is the stand-in.

She lowered her head, her face as rosy and colorful as the sunset, her fingers twisting unconsciously, her mind filled with Hinata's whispered words as they changed clothes after Hinata came out of the bathroom.

"I looked it up online. The Zheng family is very influential in the north, especially in the military. The Lin family's sphere of influence is concentrated in the south, and they mainly operate in government offices and Qunxia Mountain. The two families complement each other perfectly."

“I don’t know who’s backing you. But Shuyu, as long as you’re not married and you’re still a virgin, you can still fetch a high price in the eyes of the family forces that oppose Amanosaki. It could be the Zheng family, or it could be another family.”

"Besides."

At that moment, Hinata Hyuga pressed against Lin Shuyu's back from behind. The girl, who had just come out of the bathroom, was burning hot all over. Her bare chest and bare back were pressed together, and the squeezing and softness made Lin Shuyu almost cry out for a moment.

What's more, Hinata's hand was gently drawing circles on her abdomen, and the tingling electric current made Lin Shuyu doubt her sexual orientation at that moment.

Seeing the two stunning beauties embracing each other in the mirror, even the intelligent Lin Shuyu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

At that moment, Hinata whispered something in her ear that instantly snapped Lin Shuyu back to reality and filled her with jealousy:

"Are you really willing to just watch Nozaki climb into my bed every night while you listen in from next door?"

Thinking of this, Lin Shuyu, sitting on the sofa, squeezed her legs together, rubbing her thighs together, her face turning as red as if it were about to bleed.

Amanosaki was unaware that Hinata had already subtly dissuaded Lin Shuyu before even speaking to him, and was currently racking his brains to think of a way to start a conversation.

But whenever Amanosaki thought about seduce this petite and cute girl, he felt that whatever he said would seem deliberate.

This preconceived, ill-intentioned stance made it difficult for Amanosaki to offer an appropriate response.

The two of them sitting there felt extremely awkward.

So Amanosaki simply sniffed his own body and gave Lin Shuyu a helpless smile: "I smell terrible, I'm going to take a shower."

Taking a shower to be alone and then thinking about the topic is a good choice.

He stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shuyu stood up abruptly, very quickly.

"that!"

Lin Shuyu kept her head down, her wet hair hanging down at such a low angle that she resembled Sadako from the anime "The Ring."

"Um...what?" Amanosaki turned around as she opened the bathroom door, asking with a hint of confusion.

"Please, please have sex with me!"

"Huh?" Amanosaki was dumbfounded, caught off guard by Lin Shuyu's direct attack.

"please!"

Lin Shuyu clasped her hands together, her voice soft and low, her mournful cry sounding like the cry of a deer.

Amanosaki scratched his head, unsure how to respond.

Lin Shuyu's clasped hands seemed to freeze in place, and she cursed herself inwardly:

'Lin Shuyu, Lin Shuyu, you claim to be calm, yet you can't even speak without thinking! Is your brain made of mush? What will Amanosaki think of you? He'll think you're a slut!'

But then, Lin Shuyu silently encouraged herself: 'You two are boyfriend and girlfriend, you two are boyfriend and girlfriend, this kind of thing is normal, you need to cheer up, Lin Shuyu! Cheer up!'

It felt like a second had passed, yet also like ten thousand years had gone by.

Amanosaki's voice had just rang out:

"Then...shall we shower together?"

After saying that, Amanosaki couldn't help but laugh. 'Are you an idiot? How could you ask a girl such a question? You should just die already!'

Then he felt two bouncy mounds push against his back, and his body involuntarily moved inward.

Then the bathroom and other rooms were closed, and the door was pulled shut.

"You...you take off your clothes, I...I got a towel." A small voice floated behind him, pleading and sobbing, "Please don't turn around, I beg you."

"Uh-huh."

Amanosaki took off her clothes. The small bathroom felt a bit cramped with the two of them standing there. As Amanosaki bent over to take off her clothes, she inevitably bumped into the other girl. Every time she brushed against her, the girl would let out a muffled groan.

The showerhead sprayed water gently, and Amanosaki stood under the hot water washing his hair, hearing a series of rapid, deep breaths.

Then, trembling and slightly cold hands pressed a towel against Amanosaki's back.

"Eee~" The girl couldn't help but cry out, which made Amanosaki a little excited.

"Your back is washed, please, please... please turn around."

With a distinctly tearful voice, the girl said this.

Amanosaki then turned around, grabbed the girl who was still wearing a yukata, and pulled her into the area enveloped by the hot water.

"ah!……"

"No..." Her lips were sealed by the man, silencing all her words. Amanosaki tasted Lin Shuyu's lips, as gently and tenderly as a bee gathering nectar from a flower.

In the darkness, the plaintive sobs slowly changed tone.

Outside the gate was a dejected military camp, where soldiers sat by stoves drying their soaked shoes and socks, looking worried as the torrential rain continued and the wind grew stronger.

Inside the door was pitch black, with only occasional strange sounds telling the story of spring.

Chapter 211: Investigation

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a loud knocking woke Amanosaki up.

He rubbed his eyes, turned around, and hugged his girlfriend, her skin smooth and slippery to the touch.

It's not the familiar feel.

He sniffed, but it wasn't a familiar smell.

Amanosaki suddenly opened his eyes and saw a girl, smaller than Hinata, lying in his arms, tears welling in her eyes, sleeping contentedly with him in her arms.

She wrapped her arms around Amanosaki's neck and her legs around him, clinging to his arms like a koala.

Amanosaki carefully withdrew his hand, covered Lin Shuyu tightly with the blanket, gently kissed her forehead, and then hastily wrapped a yukata around his waist before opening the door.

Several men in suits and ties stood outside the door, along with two beautifully dressed women who looked like they were about to go into a social setting.

"I was part of the investigation team, and I didn't contact you for fear of disturbing your good time."

Hinata leaned against a pillar of the awning and spoke to Amanosaki.

“Mr. Amanosaki? We are an investigation team dispatched from the capital. Please open the door…”

"Is Shuyu inside? Make way so I can get in, Shuyu! Shuyu!"

Before the members of the investigation team could finish introducing themselves, the two women next to them started chattering away. Their voices weren't loud, but they were quite penetrating, suggesting they had studied bel canto.

Amanosaki frowned and pulled the door shut, blocking the way into the house.

"Who are you?"

"We are investigating..."

Before the man could even begin his second introduction, Amanosaki interrupted him again, saying impatiently, "I know you're from an investigation team. Military personnel and frontline officers don't wear suits like you. I'm asking about these two women. Who are you two?"

"We are Shuyu's aunts!" The woman seemed intimidated by Amanosaki's imposing manner, and her voice became much softer.

Amanosaki immediately smiled, her sharp features softening: "Ah, so it's Auntie."

"Unfortunately, Shuyu is asleep. Please wait a moment, Aunts, while I go to wake her."

After saying that, he closed the door, leaving his two aunts out.

"Pfft!"

Hinata Hyuga chuckled to herself, drawing frequent attention from the investigation team.

About two minutes later, a series of hurried footsteps came from the room. When the door opened again, the investigation team's gaze softened instantly.

Beautiful women always have privileges, especially for men.

Lin Shuyu's temperament was already outstanding. Now, having just entered into marriage, she had a look of weariness and happiness. Her originally icy temperament, which had been affected by the long-term use of the "Celestial Appearance" technique, had become much more rounded and mature.

Perhaps... it turned from an iceberg into a snow mountain?

Lin Shuyu, who had just woken up, had slightly messy hair and red eyes, which added a touch of natural, down-to-earth charm.

Yes, that's the taste of life.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting." Lin Shuyu apologized to the members of the investigation team first, and after receiving their unsurprising forgiveness, she greeted the two middle-aged women with a slightly flustered air:

"Hello, Third Aunt and Fourth Aunt."

"Oh! My little darling!"

The woman who made a face at Amanosaki became very enthusiastic when facing Lin Shuyu.

The Lin family has never designated the eldest son as the head of the family. Instead, they select all the new generation members who have awakened the [Celestial Human Appearance] ability from both the main family and branch families to form the next generation of the main family. Among these new generation members, the most outstanding individuals are chosen as the successors.

Although Lin Shuyu is a woman, she is exceptionally talented. As a fellow "Celestial Being", she is more outstanding than most of her contemporaries. In addition, she recently became the leader of the expedition team, and her career has also been successful.

Moreover, she is favored by the current head of the family, Old Master Lin, and none of the children born to her third and fourth aunts have awakened supernatural abilities. Therefore, in the face of Lin Shuyu, the strong heir to the next head of the family, these two really do not, and dare not, put on airs.

"Auntie hasn't seen you in so long! Our Shuyu is so beautiful, let Auntie take a good look at you!" Third Auntie lovingly touched Lin Shuyu's face, making Lin Shuyu a little shy.

Meanwhile, Fourth Aunt picked up several bags from the side, saying, "Our relatives heard we were coming and asked us to bring a lot of things for Shuyu," as she stepped inside.

Shuyu was caught up in reminiscing with her third aunt and didn't pay attention for a moment, allowing her fourth aunt to push open the door.

So the smells of their life together and their unspeakable activities wafted into everyone's noses as the warm air inside the house exchanged with the cold air outside.

pat.

The bags and gift boxes in Fourth Aunt's hands all fell to the ground, and Third Aunt's movement of rubbing Lin Shuyu's face froze for a moment.

The investigation team stepped back in unison, silently turning around and standing at a distance.

Lin Shuyu immediately covered her face, her earlobes and neck turning bright red.

That's it, I can't face anyone now, my reputation is completely ruined.

It was Lin Shuyu's third aunt, who was closer to her, who reacted quickly. She glared at Lin Shuyu and complained, "Look at you! Your third and fourth aunts have come all this way, and you won't even let us in for a seat. Your boyfriend has business to attend to, but that shouldn't stop your third and fourth aunts from chatting with you, right?"

As he spoke, he gently squeezed Lin Shuyu's shoulder, making a suggestive gesture.

Lin Shuyu covered her face and nodded, calling Amanosaki's name in a low voice.

"Okay, I'm brushing my teeth, I'll be right out."
