Tokyo: Starting with taking on his wife's debts

However, Hideaki's enthusiastic expression made her give up the idea of ​​immediately reminding Riko.

After all, she was just a cashier, nothing compared to Funakawa Yoshiko... However, judging from Hideaki's doting attitude towards President Riko, if Funakawa Yoshiko dared to bully President Riko, then her days were numbered.

Let's watch the show...

"Ah, please, please don't be so polite..." Riko, looking embarrassed, also lowered her head, extended her right hand adorned with a ring, and gently shook hands with Funakawa Yoshiko. "I, I also look forward to your guidance."

Hitomi Shiraishi shook her head in frustration, thinking to herself: President Riko is being too polite to her. She should have given her a hard time to force out her true nature. Then, Mr. Hideaki might dump this woman to protect President Riko... Look, even Mr. Hideaki is frowning...

Hideaki frowned because he found Funakawa Yoshiko's thieving skills to be too impressive, and she was also incredibly bold. She blatantly took the ring off Riko's ring finger and put it on her own ring finger, which actually looked quite fitting.

Riko didn't notice.

Xiuming realized that if he hadn't been paying close attention, it would have been overlooked.

Has this thief ever stolen anything from me?

Xiuming subconsciously reached into his pockets... nothing...

Funakawa Yoshiko smiled, revealing a set of neat white teeth. She took Riko's hand affectionately and said, "May I call you Riko-chan? You are so cute. No wonder Hideaki-kun can't forget you."

"Then, may I call you Miko-chan?" Riko blushed slightly, glanced at Hideaki, and after receiving Miko's delighted agreement, she went on to compliment her, saying, "Miko-chan, your skin is so fair..."

"Riko-chan is so cute..."

How idiotic! My ring was stolen, and I didn't even realize it was on my finger. Next, I'll steal Xiuming and lock him up... No one but me will ever find out...

The two started chatting at the door.

Funakawa Yoshiko smiled like a flower, and Riko's eyes also shone, as if she had found a kindred spirit.

Xiuming was speechless.

Fortunately, Shiraishi Hitomi's hesitant and conflicted expression wasn't bad; it seemed she was treating Riko well.

“Let’s go to the room to talk!” Hideaki pointed to the massage room to signal the two of them, then grabbed the sanitary napkin from Funakawa Yoshiko’s hand and put it on the cashier’s counter, saying, “Riko-chan, let’s go first. She has to pay the bill before we go. That’s the rule. I have to pay for things too, otherwise the accounts won’t match up.”

It's already 11 o'clock, and Hideaki still has to go to the hospital. The information that Funakawa Yoshiko presented about stealing the ring is already complete; all that's left is to ask for a good review.

After Hideaki finished speaking, he ignored the stunned Funakawa Yoshiko and pulled Riko directly towards the massage room.

Behind her, Funakawa Yoshiko narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her right hand, and touched the gold ring on her ring finger with the pad of her thumb. She couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. She glanced sideways and saw Shiraishi Hitomi staring at her. She let out a strange laugh, took out her wallet, threw her bank card on the cashier, and said with a smile, "Swipe 10000 yen. The extra can be your tip."

"Sorry, we do not accept tips by credit card."

After swiping her card on the POS machine, Shiraishi Hitomi, following etiquette, bent down and handed the bank card to Funakawa Yoshiko with both hands. Funakawa Yoshiko accepted it with her ring-wearing hand and even showed off the ring.

Hitomi Shiraishi's eyes widened immediately; she had seen Riko's ring many times before.

"Isn't it great!" Funakawa Yoshiko said with a grin, raising her right hand. "It was a gift from my husband, Hideaki~ Doesn't it suit me perfectly?"

The massage room door was now closed.

The area is slightly larger, a dozen square meters, but the layout remains the same.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a massage bed with silver foam cushions. Behind the massage bed are many square storage shelves, which contain disposable clothing and bottles of various brands of lubricant.

In the corner of the glass curtain wall, there was still that pale yellow tatami mat, with a small low table on it.

The glass curtain wall that can only be seen from the inside is still covered by thick burgundy curtains.

Hideaki sat on the tatami mat, then picked Riko up and placed her on his lap, bringing his nose close to her pink neck for a deep sniff.

"Honey~" Riko lowered her head, her face almost completely red, her eyes filled with shame and confusion, and whispered, "This...it's daytime...this...I'm at work...the door isn't closed yet...what should I do..."

How could I do this at a time like this? But I really couldn't bring myself to refuse.

“Don’t be nervous, just smell it. Riko-chan smells so good,” Hideaki said, looking up. Then he pulled Riko’s right hand over, pried open her slender ring finger, and said, “Your ring was just stolen by Miko-chan, whom you consider a confidante.”

"Ah? Oh dear~ my ring..." Riko's shy gaze fell on her ring finger, her eyes widening in surprise and anxiety. "Does she really want it? But, but... then, what should we do..."

You little cutie...

"You need to be more careful," Xiuming said earnestly. "Don't trust people so much in the future, okay?"

“But, but, but my husband brought her back…” Riko lowered her head and fiddled with her ring finger.

“Then you need to be even more careful. What if they try to take me away… Oh, no, no one can take me away.” Hideaki paused. The “relationship crisis” rhetoric was for other women. His wife, Riko, needed security. He continued, “What I mean by ‘careful’ is, what if I’m not watching you and they sell you out? Think about it, if I come home and find my wife gone, how heartbroken would I be? Right?”

"That...that..."

Riko didn't know how to respond. Although she was a little happy because Hideaki cared so much, she was also conflicted.

After all, everyone assumes her husband is unfaithful, so can't he choose some better ones?

She really didn't want to think about these kinds of relationship problems anymore, which only made things more complicated.

After all, the woman he brought was the one he liked, wasn't she?

Should I disregard my husband's feelings and kick them out? He'll be upset...

As long as my husband doesn't abandon me, I don't care what he does! Anyway, I can't do anything about it.

"Don't feel pressured. We're a couple, and I'm on the same page. Although I have high standards, men are visual and women are performers, so there will inevitably be times when I make a mistake. That's when I need your help."

"I...I...but..."

Riko's conflicted expression made Hideaki feel guilty.

It's just not her personality; never mind, I won't make things difficult for her.

Let's take a look at this later and decide who to entrust this secret power to... First and foremost, someone loyal to Riko.

Hideaki placed Riko on the tatami mat, stood up, and said, "Riko-chan, wait here for a bit. I'll get the ring back for you."

Riko opened her mouth, her eyes filled with conflict, but she didn't say anything, silently repeating in her heart: I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... That's my ring, I don't want to give it to you...

She felt a strange pang of sympathy. Funakawa Yoshiko had spoken so sweetly just now... She had gone to such lengths as stealing the ring; she must also be very fond of Hideaki, just like herself.

It feels like there's some infighting among our own kind, but I really don't want to give it away.

I'm so cruel... but she's also so awful...

Chapter 173 [Three Good Deeds Achieved]

When Hideaki left, he looked like he was going to beat Funakawa Yoshiko to death, which made Riko worry about Funakawa Yoshiko.

Being treated like that... just thinking about it is terrifying.

After all, she was such a beautiful girl, with skin as white as milk, such a lovely smile, and such a sweet voice…

Although her thieving behavior was indeed a bit excessive, since she came back with Xiuming, she must like Xiuming, and Xiuming must think she's good too, right?

I've been watching too many palace dramas lately, and every love story is so heartbreaking...

Riko clenched her fists and quietly stepped off the tatami mat.

It's really not good to be a coward like this. I should go and check on her! At worst, I'll say a few nice things about her, and then I'll never play with her again—she stole my ring…

Next to the cashier.

After showing off the ring she had just stolen to Shiraishi Hitomi, Funakawa Yoshiko happily put the bank card into her bag, under Shiraishi Hitomi's envious gaze. Then, she picked up a bag of sanitary napkins and asked, "You're Ms. Shiraishi, right? Um, do you have a restroom here?"

Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood that my data usage has increased. The items I bought from Xiuming before didn't fit, and they leaked again, so I need to exchange them quickly.

My lower abdomen is a little sore again. I wonder if I let Hideaki rub it now, will that easy-going Mrs. Riko feel uncomfortable and secretly cry?

Forget it, I'm not that kind of brainless woman. I need to plan for the long term and be patient.

As for this ring, I really love it so much that I couldn't resist... Oh dear, I got excited and showed it off a bit.

The reason she couldn't help but show off was because the way Shiraishi Hitomi looked at Hideaki just now was almost drooling... even though Hideaki's demeanor didn't seem like they were having an affair.

But her keen sixth sense told her that she was on the verge of danger.

Considering Hideaki's personality and judging from Umezu Midori's situation, as long as a woman doesn't take the initiative, Hideaki usually just makes a few flirtatious remarks and then ignores her.

But there's something wrong with this woman's eyes. I hope Xiuming is blind and didn't see it...

I just mimicked Ezaki's cold laugh a few times, but it didn't seem to work. So I had to deliver another powerful blow: Hideaki gave me a ring, but you didn't!

It seems to be having some effect; he had an expression of "envy, jealousy, and hatred"...

So what if she spreads it around? I'll deny it to the death, immediately make a fake one, throw it in a corner, and then accidentally find it again... and sue her on the spot for framing me.

"Your Excellency, Mrs. Miko, the restroom is over there."

Funakawa Yoshiko's smug look made Shiraishi Hitomi secretly worry. She quickly put on her friendliest smile and bowed to indicate the restroom in the direction of the dormitory.

"Thanks!" Funakawa Yoshiko swung the plastic bag and hummed a song as she walked towards the restroom.

Hitomi Shiraishi glanced at the figure disappearing behind the shelf and felt secretly annoyed.

She looked at the ring, and it looked exactly like it had been stolen from President Riko.

However, if what she said is true, it is reasonable, since the rings were given by the same person.

Doesn't that mean she and President Riko are now equals?

She just threatened me... What should I do now?

After all, he had been kicked out of the house by his father with a broom... His parents were vehemently opposed.

But Mr. Xiuming called and said he likes me to wear black-rimmed glasses and a teacher's uniform, pretending to be his first love's English teacher... She was his first love... He must have a deep impression of her... What can I do?

It feels like winning the lottery in a dream, I'm afraid it's fake, but I'm also hoping it's real... but I should at least give it a try!

After all, President Riko cared about me, gave me some ointment, and asked if it hurt when my dad hit me... Store Manager Chieko even gave me some advice...

Where is Miko?

As Xiuming spoke, he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

It's almost midnight, we need to catch up on the schedule.

"They went there..."

When Shiraishi Hitomi saw Hideaki's face, she felt her face burning and her heart racing. Subconsciously, she adopted the serious demeanor of a teacher and quickly pointed to the restroom.

"Your demeanor is fantastic," Xiuming commented casually, turning to walk towards the restroom. "Keep it up."

He only glanced at it, probably because he hadn't changed his clothes... Shiraishi Hitomi pursed her lips and cautiously probed, "I think I just saw a wedding ring on her ring finger that's the same as President Riko's. Was it a gift from Mr. Hideaki?"

"That's Riko's. I thought you'd found out..."

When Funakawa Yoshiko and Riko were having a friendly chat, Shiraishi Hitomi seemed hesitant to speak, leading Hideaki to believe she was planning to tattle.
