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

“I’ve fallen in love with many women at the same time,” Katsuhiko said, taking the crystal glass, gently swirling the half-full glass of wine, his face showing melancholy. “I don’t want to give up any of them, and that’s what’s causing me distress.”

"Uh, so that's how it is..."

Shiraki Masako almost didn't react. She thought Katsuhiko would play the victim, talk about his career troubles, and then steer the conversation toward Noda, hoping to do something for her.

It turned out they were discussing relationship issues. Coincidentally, that was exactly what I was most curious about.

After a moment's thought, Shiraki Masako continued, "It's clear you're a very charming man. So, what would your ideal life be like?"

Katsuhiko suddenly looked up, his face serious, and said, "I want every woman I like to be satisfied."

“Oh… that’s what you think,” Shiraki Masako felt his gaze was somewhat intense, her hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, she quickly brought the rim of the glass to her lips, then looked away and continued, “This, this is indeed a rather troublesome matter, after all, every woman has some selfish thoughts.”

“I think I have severe schizophrenia,” Katsuhiko leaned forward slightly, continuing to stare at her, and then said, “Sometimes, I deeply love my wife, Sayuri-chan; sometimes I deeply love Manager Mikoto; and sometimes I deeply love Yumi. Just like now, I’ve discovered that I love someone else deeply…”

Could it be me...? Shiraki Masayuki's heart skipped a beat. She sipped the red wine in her mouth and spat it back into the glass. Her elegant face was flushed red as she pulled out a tissue to wipe her bright red lips.

With a smile in her eyes, she blinked rapidly and said, "Is it that kind of 'multiple personality disorder'?"

She realized that Sheng Yan was lying through his teeth, clearly trying to seduce and tempt her.

Could it be that I need to make a fake medical record for him? To prevent bigamy from being exposed and prosecuted?

As a urologist, Masayuki Shiraki has never encountered anyone asking her to falsify medical records. However, she has seen many people in the neighboring psychiatry department, Ikuyo Sato, obtain psychiatric medical records in order to file lawsuits.

"You truly are a professional doctor; you even know the medical terminology. The psychologist I saw before referred to it as 'multiple personality disorder,'"

Katsuhiko, looking like he'd found a kindred spirit, walked around the coffee table and sat down next to Shiraki Masayuki. He stared at her with wide eyes and continued, "That doctor said that I would periodically split into other personalities, and those personalities would have independent consciousness. They would fall in love with different women at different times and places and decide to get married on their own. The worst part is that I was completely unaware of it."

Seeing her like this, Sheng Yan immediately realized that she understood, and since she was even adding more details, there was no need to hide anything; he could just tell her the symptoms directly.

"So that's how it is," Shiraki Masako said, noticing that he was sitting too close and his strong masculine scent made her inexplicably flustered. She subconsciously swallowed and moved her bottom a little to the side. She continued, "By the way, aren't you already married? Even if you registered your marriage with another woman without permission, the clerk at the marriage registry wouldn't agree to it, would they?"

“There’s a loophole,” Katsuhiko said solemnly, moving closer to her and still staring wide-eyed. “There are 23 wards in Tokyo, and each ward’s marriage registration office is independent and not connected to the network. As long as no one reports it, it will never be exposed. If you want to be even more discreet, you can buy a house in another city and register there, which will make it even more discreet.”

"Really? This is the first time I've heard of such a vulnerability."

Shiraki Masako lowered her head slightly, glanced at Katsuhiko's close body again, and instead of backing away, placed the wine glass in her hand between the two of them, and then asked, "You haven't already registered with several women, have you?"

“That’s about it,” Katsuhiko said with a melancholy look, taking the wine glass she was holding in his own hand and asking, “Ms. Masako, you have your needs, and I have my requests. Shall we help each other out?”

Chapter 110 New Girlfriend? Does Little Lily know?

Shiraki Masayuki subconsciously swallowed.

When I was being direct with Katsuhiko earlier, he said something about needing an emotional foundation... I thought he was just being shy, so I went along with his topic.

Unexpectedly, while we were talking, he returned the direct approach.

Although it was the result he wanted, it felt too passive, especially his nonchalant look, which seemed rather awkward.

Well, considering he's young and healthy, I won't mind...

"That seems to make sense,"

Shiraki Masako responded to Katsuhiko's words, glancing again at the wine glass he had taken away, worried that he would drink it all in one gulp. She continued, "However, I also have some requirements. My future child must be healthy and cannot have any hereditary diseases. Therefore, I need to take you for a medical check-up first. Only if you meet my requirements can we proceed."

"Miss Yazhi will definitely be a great mother in the future," Katsuhiko promptly offered a pleasant remark.

“Of course.” Shiraki Masako was quite pleased and couldn’t help but tilt her chin up. “I’ve learned a lot about parenting.”

“It’s getting late, and I have other things to do.” Sheng Yan raised his wristwatch, stood up abruptly and walked out, saying, “Let’s schedule a physical exam for tomorrow! And get my medical record made at the hospital while you’re at it.”

Are you very busy?

"We were having a nice chat, and you're leaving already?" Shiraki Masayuki was taken aback. It was only 9:40 AM, how could it be late? She could have gone for her medical check-up this afternoon! And have lunch together...

"Today is indeed quite busy. I have an appointment at 10 o'clock, and I have to go home at 3 o'clock to meet with the editor of the weekly magazine."

As Sheng Yan casually remarked, he sat down in the entryway and started changing his shoes.

Shiraki Masako walked to the entrance, half-squatted opposite Katsuhiko, and asked, "What about tonight? Do you have time tonight?"

We were having a pleasant conversation, and then he suddenly left, which made me feel really frustrated... He's like a jerk.

"I'm going to spend the night with my wife."

"No!" Shiraki Masayuki blurted out.

"What's the problem?"

Shiraki Masako realized something was wrong and quickly added, "You're having a reproductive checkup, so you need to abstain from sex, be in your best condition, and you can't go on dates or see your girlfriend."

Katsuhiko put on his shoes, pulled Shiraki Masayuki aside, and pushed open the door, saying, "If the medical report doesn't meet your requirements, we can change the father of your child. It doesn't matter. I'm leaving now."

With the [Recovery Potion] at my disposal, I'm in peak condition every day...

Sheng Yan didn't wait for the elevator; he opened the fire door of the fire escape and rushed up the stairs.

Shiraki Masayuki was stunned for a long time before suddenly coming to her senses, feeling a sense of humiliation as if her feelings had been toyed with.

This is a carefully selected person; he meets all my requirements. Just by looking at his complexion, I can completely predict that he will pass the medical examination—he is the best candidate.

It's really upsetting to hear someone suddenly say "It doesn't matter" or "We can find someone else."

Shiraki Masayuki frantically grabbed her shoes, putting them on as she rushed into the stairwell, shouting, "Stop right there!"

Katsuhiko ran downstairs and saw a taxi at the entrance of the building, with the car keys still in the ignition...

The rapid clicking of high heels echoed from the stairwell behind me.

Katsuhiko stood quietly beside the car and waited.

How could you be so irresponsible!

Shiraki Masayuki stormed out of the stairwell, waving a high heel at Katsuhiko and shouting, "What do you mean 'it doesn't matter'? Tell me, what do you mean 'I can change the child's father'? Since you promised me, you shouldn't be so casual about it!"

Her face flushed red, and her high breasts heaved violently with her heavy breathing, causing the gold and diamond pendant hanging around her neck to fall onto her collarbone.

His bare left foot must have kicked something; the nail of his big toe split open, and blood flowed all over his toe.

Katsuhiko crouched down, poked her toe, tilted his head back, and asked, "Does your foot hurt?"

"What are you saying... Ouch—! Ah~~" Shiraki Masayuki felt a piercing pain in her toenail, her leg trembled, and she instinctively pressed down on Katsuhiko's head to keep herself upright. Tears streamed down her face as she cried out in a sob, "Don't touch me... It hurts so much... It's all your fault..."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital."

Before she could react, Sheng Yan immediately picked her up by the waist.

Her body stiffened, as if she had been frozen in place. Although her face still showed signs of pain, her body remained completely still.

Masae Shiraki: Assets of 16 billion yen

She's become a rich woman, no wonder she dares to go solo...

Sheng Yan opened the back door of the taxi and shoved her inside. He pulled out a pack of tissues from the driver's seat pocket and covered her toes with them, letting her hold them.

In the glove compartment between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, there was a half-open bottle of mineral water with a lipstick ring around the neck, the same shade as the lipstick on Shiraki Masayuki's lips.

Katsuhiko took the bottled water and asked, "Did you drink this when you were following me earlier?"

Masayuki Shiraki was sitting sideways in the chair, clutching her toes with her right hand, staring at Katsuhiko with red eyes.

Katsuhiko's feet were still outside the car, but he had climbed his upper body inside.

Shiraki Masayuki tilted her head, turned to look at the windshield of the car, and said, "I'm suing you for sexual harassment."

Her long, fair neck was flushed pink, and the top three buttons of her white shirt were still undone. The two full curves beneath her delicate collarbone slowly compressed with her slightly rapid breathing, creating a wonderfully defined effect...

"What do you mean?"

Sheng Yan gave a perfunctory answer, then compared the color of her lipstick to confirm that it was the one she had just drunk. While she wasn't paying attention, he secretly took out a bottle of [Recovery Potion] and poured half of it into her mouth.

"Don't play dumb. Hugging me without my consent is sexual harassment."

Despite the excruciating pain in her toes, Shiraki Masako wiped away her tears and sobbed, "Even if my status isn't...not respectable. But, even so, I, I'm not a casual person. I will definitely sue you. I, I also have dignity..."

After a brief moment of reflection, Shiraki Masayuki realized that Katsuhiko's indifferent attitude and his dismissive remarks about "it doesn't matter" and "changing fathers" were probably the reason he treated her this way.

She didn't care at first.

After all, this happens to many people; pretty female students are often targeted and arranged for by powerful figures even before graduation...

I guess I'm lucky. I was targeted by that old bastard Noda before I even graduated. At least I didn't end up like my other classmates, who kept changing partners and never had a stable place to live.

But now, she felt a tightness in her chest and desperately wanted to prove something to Katsuhiko.

As she spoke, her mind was still a bit muddled, and she felt that she had said something rather extreme.

It shouldn't have turned out like this. Katsuhiko Takenaka isn't a good person either; besides his wife, he has several girlfriends! I just want to have a child of my own through him. Such an outstanding young man, I don't want to miss out…

"Have some water first, so you'll have the energy to file a lawsuit." Sheng Yan said, handing her a bottle of mineral water. He continued, "By the way, are you sure you want to sue a man who loves you deeply?"

Shiraki Masayuki's expression suddenly froze, and she stared wide-eyed at Katsuhiko.

Her right hand, which was gripping her toes, and her left hand, which was resting on her lap, were both trembling.

Sheng Yan looked her in the eye with a sincere expression, then brought the bottle of mineral water to her lips, pressed it against her lips, and made her tilt her head back slightly. As he poured water into her mouth, he said softly, "Drink up, sweetie~ don't choke."

"Gulp~ gulp!"

After downing a few gulps of mineral water, she suddenly grabbed the empty bottle, kicked Sheng Yan in the crotch with her high-heeled foot, and shouted with a flushed face, "Get away from me! Don't be so rude! If you keep this up, I'm really going to sue you..."

Sheng Yan's face stiffened. He bent over, clutching his stomach, and turned away, not wanting to say anything more. He slammed the car door shut, then yanked open the driver's side door, climbed into the driver's seat, and turned the key. He was going to be late...

It still hurt a bit, so after the car started, I secretly took out the remaining half bottle of [Recovery Potion] and drank it.

The effects of half a dose require recovery time and cannot compare to the instant recovery effect of a full dose. Fortunately, the result is the same... slight pain, nothing serious.

The taxi drove onto the road, Sheng Yan shifted into fast gear and stepped on the gas.

In the back seat, Shiraki Masayuki's water bottle was already crushed from her grip.

The moment she kicked out, Sheng Yan's face turned terrifyingly pale. She instantly realized that she had committed a very serious and evil act, and her brain went blank. By the time she came to her senses, Sheng Yan had already climbed into the driver's seat and started the car.

His face was deathly pale just now, and although he's back to normal now, it must have been in a lot of pain...

It shouldn't be too serious, right? I really hope it doesn't affect functionality...

“Katsuhiko… Mr. Katsuhiko, are you alright?” Shiraki Masako cautiously glanced at Katsuhiko’s profile and whispered, “I’m sorry, I… I didn’t mean to. The way you treated me just now… I… I’ve never been treated like that before. I didn’t know what to do, so… so…”

Katsuhiko kept a straight face and didn't respond.

The car was revving its engine, it was speeding, and a police car was chasing it...

Shiraki Masayuki felt a pang in her heart. Even if she could just say a word, curse, or get beaten up... being ignored like this was incredibly painful.
