Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

When Mikoto got to this point, she also explained why she had informed Kanzaki Yumi during the last operation with Sayuri to catch them cheating; it was naturally for the same reason.

He also promised that if he caught Kanzaki Yumi cheating this time, he wouldn't inform her again. He was determined to make Sayuri happy and establish her authority as the "official wife".

Chapter 101 Qin Ye: I'm sorry, I couldn't control my mouth.

After hearing Mikoto's explanation, Eiyo and Kotoyo realized that what Mikoto said made a lot of sense.

The two of them then thought about their respective identities as widows... No, no, forget it! Forget it!

Thankfully, Katsuhiko gave us hope... Katsuhiko-kun is so kind, I gave him everything...

Although Mikoto's words made sense, her lecturing tone made Eiyo and Kotoha feel quite aggrieved. They didn't want to talk to her anymore, so they said goodbye and went home to discuss catching Kanzaki Yumi cheating with Sayuri.

At this time, Sayuri was bored at Kotoha's house, so she cleaned the room and, seeing that it was time to get off work, prepared a meal for the four of them.

After she finished, she realized: Did she seem too humble by doing this?

But since it was already prepared, I couldn't just throw it away, so I sat on the sofa, fuming, and waited.

While waiting, I turned on the TV to pass the time and saw a news report about "Katsuhiko and Yuma Kanzaki on a date in Shibuya, which was met with criticism from Yumi's fans".

Sayuri jumped up and blurted out, "Kansaki Yumi is really going too far, even her fans are going too far!"

Her first reaction was to defend her husband, but after shouting it out, she realized, "I made dinner for my husband, isn't he coming home to eat?"

This was something I worked so hard to make. I really wanted to call Katsuhiko directly to ask him, but I was worried that he was busy and that it would make things awkward. After all, I had to pretend that I didn't know about Kanzaki Yuma's problem yet, because I was going to drag her along to catch Kanzaki Yumi tomorrow.

When Eitai and Kotoha returned home, they saw a sumptuous meal on the dining table and Sayuri sitting in front of the television, looking conflicted.

"Little Lily, have you already made dinner? That's amazing..."

Kotoha really wanted to show off the "husband" title that Katsuhiko had given her in front of Sayuri, but when she saw the table full of food that Sayuri had prepared and the clean room, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and guilty.

"Um, Little Lily-chan, you've worked so hard. We should have been the ones cooking..." Eiyo felt a little embarrassed and said in a low voice.

Xiaobaihe didn't get up. She glanced back at the TV with a troubled expression, then looked back at the television and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"

Currently, the television is playing a clip of "Katsuhiko carrying Mikoto in a dash," which is a gossip-filled entertainment news program.

Katsuhiko is already a minor celebrity. His appearance on a "parent-child activity" program with Mikoto was already quite attractive, so it's easy for him to be recognized by some people now.

They extracted clips from the video and submitted them to the entertainment news section...

Eiyo and Kotoha both knew about this, and Sayuri had even turned on the videotape while they were at the convenience store.

At this point, the two realized why the cunning Mikoto had lied about being heartbroken and even wanted to show the videotape to Sayuri; it turned out she couldn't hide it any longer.

I'd like to confirm again what Sayuri's current feelings are towards Misaka...

After the two washed their hands, Sayuri was already sitting at the dining table.

The TV presenter was speaking eloquently: "The chart-topping diva who debuted at the peak and the crazy and violent comic book assistant are vying for the multi-talented man who is secretly married with children. Did they both know all along...?"

Yingdai glanced at Xiaobaihe, then immediately slammed her hand on the table and said, "They've gone too far! They're completely disregarding our Xiaobaihe-chan!"

Kotoha blinked, quickly scooped half a bowl of rice for Sayuri and handed it to her, then chimed in, "That's right, Katsuhiko-kun's wife can only be Sayuri-chan, how can she become Mikoto? And the issue of the child, Chinatsu-chan doesn't count."

Sayuri showed no unusual expression, took the half bowl of rice that Kotoha handed her, and said, "Stop talking and eat!"

"Sayuri-chan, what do you think?" Eiyo asked, then added, "After all, Mikoto isn't Katsuhiko-kun's girlfriend anymore, so this is practically a rumor, isn't it?"

Xiaobaihe picked up a piece of rice and put it in her mouth, then asked, "Are you two happy now? Is my husband good to you?"

Yingdai and Qinye didn't know what Xiaobaihe meant by suddenly asking that question.

Yingdai suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis and immediately said, "I'm very happy, everything is fine, what's wrong?"

Kotoha tensed up instinctively; Sayuri's calm tone made it seem like she was trying to drive them away...

Sayuri poked at her rice with her chopsticks, muttering to herself, "Does Mikoto think the same way you do? She broke up with her boyfriend today because he saw the video of her and my husband at a parent-child activity..."

Yingdai and Qinye breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out it wasn't directed at them. But something still felt off.

Eiyo asked, "Sayuri-chan, you're not planning to let Mikoto become Katsuhiko-kun's girlfriend, are you? You're so good to her."

Qinye was also completely bewildered.

"She praised my husband so many times, and every time she did, her eyes lit up; I could tell." Xiaobaihe's face flushed red, looking somewhat embarrassed and indignant. She threw her chopsticks on the table and continued, "Anyway, we already have you all, so one more of her won't make a difference!"

Kotoha craned her neck and blurted out, "How did you manage to fool the cunning Mikoto like this?"

Little Lily looked up, blinked, and asked, "What lied to me?"

Eiyo gasped inwardly. Kotoha, whose mouth always seemed to run faster than her brain, was indeed unreliable… Her eyes darted around, and she secretly stepped on Kotoha's foot, immediately feigning a puzzled look as she asked, “Kotoha-chan, do you know something? How did Mikoto become so cunning? How did she deceive Sayuri?”

"I..." Qin Ye's face stiffened, and she slapped herself in the face with regret.

Little Lily stared intently at Qin Ye and asked, "What exactly do you know?"

Kotoha was almost in tears. If she confessed everything, Mikoto would probably beat her to death, right? After all, she didn't have a child yet, so she couldn't register the marriage and couldn't challenge Mikoto...

In a moment of quick thinking, choosing the least harmful option, she whispered, "Um, I... I just found out when I came out of the convenience store. It's just... Eisho-neechan left earlier, and I left a little later than her. Mikoto assumed we were all gone, and then I overheard her talking to Katsuhiko on the phone, saying really embarrassing things, like asking him to sleep at her place that night, something like that... Yes, that's it. So, I suspect they've been having an affair for a while now..."

After Qinye finished speaking haltingly, she thought about it for a moment and realized that although it was all lies, it was actually quite reasonable.

She couldn't help but secretly give herself a thumbs up, thinking how clever she was... Yingdai's mouth was wide open, she was completely stunned... Xiaobaihe was also dumbfounded.

After a long pause, Sayuri, with an incredulous look on her face, blurted out, "Mikoto-neechan is two-timing? Dating Fugaku Uchiha while having an affair with my husband?"

"Cough cough cough..." Yingdai choked before even drinking the soup. She bent over, clutching her stomach, her face flushed red, and buried her face under the table, coughing and chuckling to herself.

Sayuri truly trusted Mikoto to the extreme...

"Probably not. When Mikoto called Katsuhiko, she said, 'I've finally broken up with my boyfriend, and I can finally be with Katsuhiko.' So, it's not about two-timing, but rather about kicking one ship over the other and moving on... that's the gist of it..."

Kotoha, having revealed Mikoto's "little secret," tries her best to make amends to avoid being reprimanded by Mikoto.

To avoid being misunderstood by Sayuri as having a bad "character," although her character is indeed not good—what a cunning woman...

"Are you telling the truth?" Sayuri asked suspiciously, staring intently at Kotoyo.

Qin Ye guiltily turned her head away, secretly wanting to laugh, and hurriedly said in a tearful voice, "Of course it's true, you, you know me, I, if I lie, I'll be exposed!"

Lily frowned and said, "The way you're trying not to laugh makes you look like you're lying. Are you secretly laughing at me for being stupid?"

Eiyo and Kotoha are practically conjoined twins. What Kotoha knows, Eiyo must also know. She was just pretending to be stupid... It seems that Eiyo handing over her salary card and Kotoha's annual fee of 1500 million yen are not enough.

"No!" Qin Ye tilted her head back, biting her lower lip tightly, and continued.

"What I'm laughing at is that you'll be very angry that Mikoto lied to you like this, and you'll definitely want to bring us along to catch her cheating, right? She doesn't know anything yet, just thinking about it is exciting."

Kotoha knew her own annoying weakness—that she couldn't help but laugh when she lied. She couldn't hide it, so she had to find another seemingly plausible excuse. And this excuse actually seemed pretty good…

After Yingdai finished coughing, she leaned on the table and asked softly:

"What Kotoha-chan said seems to make a lot of sense. Should we arrest her this time? After all, this is a rule we agreed on beforehand, and we must firmly uphold Mrs. Sayuri's authority."

Eiyo was quite resentful of Mikoto. She used to treat her as an equal, but who would have thought that she had a "secret wife" identity, which made people envious and jealous. Although Kotoyo was outspoken, she was also quite clever and did not reveal everything.

If I were to confess everything, it wouldn't be the same thing; it would backfire, and I might be labeled as a "tattletale," which would leave a bad impression on Katsuhiko.

The best way is to do what Katsuhiko did: just watch the show and let Mikoto bring it on herself... If we can give Mikoto a good beating this time, that would be so satisfying.

Sayuri continued to sternly address the two of them, saying:

“I have a feeling that you two are hiding a lot from me. If I find out, I will fine you.”

As for Mikoto's question, if what Kotoha said is true, it's not impossible for Mikoto to come over after kicking over a boat, since her husband is obviously the most charming.

But doesn't that mean that Mikoto's heartbroken crying just now was fake? Was she just putting on an act for me?

Thinking back carefully to the things she said when I comforted her, it seemed like she was constantly testing me; she never hid her feelings for my husband...

Could it be that Mikoto has been keeping this from me because we're such good friends that she's worried about feeling awkward and is too embarrassed to be honest?

That's probably it! After all, I was too embarrassed to invite her out at the convenience store earlier...

After thinking it over, Xiaobaihe realized that she not only didn't feel angry about being deceived, but also felt a sense of relief.

I don't understand what happened. I guess I had already accepted her in my heart... After all, her husband patted her butt twice in front of her, and she didn't get angry...

"Should we still arrest her? Maybe tonight will be a good opportunity."

Yingdai and Qinye's eyes lit up with excitement.

The two didn't care about the fine at all. They were already Sheng Yan's, so why should they care about material things? Once they had a child, they would register their marriage, and then they would have everything...

“I’ll definitely catch them,” Sayuri glanced at their expressions, then put her chopsticks on the table and said, “But I’ll catch them myself. It’s different with Mikoto-neechan; she can’t go too far.”

Xiaobaihe's mind cleared up, and her mood improved.

Of course, Mikoto's sneaky behavior deserves a small punishment, but it will certainly be different from catching Yumi and Yuma.

Because Mikoto had been very kind to her from beginning to end, looking back now, those strange feelings became clear. They were clearly a kind of guilty conscience, a cautiousness, and an attempt to please, which was too distant.

Since Mikoto respects me so much, I definitely can't let the two of them come along, otherwise it will hurt Mikoto's feelings. So I'll just play a little joke on her.

I used to be so embarrassed by her that I wanted to disappear; this time, I'll make her so embarrassed she wants to disappear too...hehe...

"She lied to you like that, and you still defend her?" Yingdai felt a pang of regret for not being able to catch Mikoto, and incredulous, she said irritably, "You're still laughing, you're so naive you just want to be slapped."

“I’ve been good friends with Mikoto for many years, so I understand her.” Sayuri picked up her chopsticks, ate a mouthful of rice, and continued, “Anyway, you can’t bully her.”

Sayuri subconsciously felt that Mikoto had arrived later than them and was worried that the two of them, as elders, would put pressure on Mikoto.

"We'd rather bully her?" Yingdai rolled her eyes. "We'd be grateful if she didn't bully me."

Having learned her lesson, Qin Ye quickly lowered her head and started eating, not daring to say a word.

She wanted to say to Sayuri: "Wait till you find out that your dear sister Mikoto registered her marriage with your husband on the same day as you, and see if you can still laugh!"

"I'm done eating. You two do the dishes."

Sayuri beamed with delight, believing that it was the intimidating presence of the legal wife that emboldened Mikoto and prevented the two from acting recklessly.

She put down her chopsticks, picked up the TV remote, and walked to the living room sofa.

The TV no longer broadcast gossip entertainment programs about "Shengyan's secret marriage and child," but instead aired authoritative news during prime time. One news segment, lasting over ten seconds, featured Shengyan speaking eloquently about macroeconomic trends to the camera.

After the news briefing finished, the beautiful female host made a special mention that at 8:10, there would be an interview segment about "Celebrity Entrepreneur, President of Xia Ying Society, Mr. Katsuhiko Takenaka".

The gist is: After reading the news, if you're still interested in macroeconomics, don't forget to check out this: Mr. Katsuhiko Takenaka may have some scandals, but he's still quite knowledgeable...

"My husband is amazing!" Xiaobaihe jumped up excitedly, waved her hand, and then grabbed the landline phone, saying, "I'm going to call my husband to tell him the good news, he's on the biggest TV station."

Yingdai and Qinye were clearing away the dishes when they exchanged a glance, quickly put down their dishes, ran to Xiaobaihe's side, and then pressed the speakerphone button for her.
