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

Sheng Yan extended his index finger, lifted her fair chin, and said, "Call me 'husband' once, and let me hear if it sounds good or not."

Haruko tilted her head back, her eyes almost wide open, her gaze vacant. She murmured, her lips trembling, "Husband..."

Katsuhiko said softly, "Louder."

Haruko seemed to realize something at this moment. Her eyes blinked suddenly, and a look of joy appeared on her face. The corners of her mouth slowly curved into a smile. "Husband."

"As expected of someone who can sing, let's call them that from now on!"

As Chinatsu checked out in the lobby on the first floor, Mrs. Saionji was with her in the lounge area, looking at photos together.

These are all photos taken of Chinatsu, of all sorts of things!

Chika was initially watching excitedly, but as soon as Katsuhiko came out, her face immediately fell, and she huffed at him, saying, "You didn't go in to play with me, so this doesn't count. I won't call you Daddy."

"Okay, I'll go in and play with you next time we come."

"Really?" Chika's eyes lit up. "When will you come again?"

"Next time."

"Okay, then I'll call you Dad next time."

When Mrs. Saionji turned her head to look over, she initially looked a little nervous, but after seeing Haruko's barely suppressed smile and her shy, evasive eyes, a maternal smile blossomed on her face.

"President Takenaka, would you like to take a group photo?" Mrs. Saionji asked with a smile, holding her camera. "I'm a very good photographer, you know."

Sheng Yan readily agreed.

Following Mrs. Saionji's advice, Katsuhiko first took a photo with Haruko, a picture of them holding hands and strolling down the street, taken from a candid angle.

Before Katsuhiko could even look at her with a surprised expression, Mrs. Saionji explained with an awkward smile: "You are a very famous bestselling author. After all, Haruko-chan is going to sign with your company, and it's a lifetime contract. Newcomers need exposure... But don't worry, that pervert won't mind. Even if he's photographed checking into a hotel, he will definitely take the initiative to explain the reason to Haruko-chan... I'm a senior agent, and I know the entertainment industry best."

Sheng Yan felt there was no need to create any more scandals to gain attention and traffic. After all, the reputation of Xia Ying Society's music department was still quite good, and he had stolen songs from unknown sources that had been verified. Even a pig could be turned into a big star.

Of course, with Mrs. Saionji so enthusiastic and Haruko looking so expectant, I'll just let them do what they want! As a great writer, scandals are definitely a plus...

Afterwards, Katsuhiko carried Chinatsu and took a photo together at the entrance of Disneyland. Chinatsu smiled happily in front of the camera, but after the photo was taken, she turned into a smug, haughty face.

On the way back, Mrs. Saionji claimed that she was going to take the photos to the magazine office, and after agreeing to report to the Xia Ying Society the next day, they parted ways.

Katsuhiko, along with Chinatsu, accompanied Haruko back to the kindergarten to complete her resignation procedures. After leaving the kindergarten, Haruko felt embarrassed to hold Katsuhiko's arm anymore because Chinatsu was still there. She kept glancing at Katsuhiko's face, with the look of someone who had just woken up in the morning.

Sheng Yan guessed it was probably because he had given her too many [recovery potions], because she not only didn't seem tired at all, but also appeared particularly energetic. Her eyes had also changed; they used to have that innocent look of a kindergarten teacher, but now the way she glanced at him carried a sticky, seductive glint.

She's getting a bit clingy... Katsuhiko thought to himself: Sayuri was like that at first too, but not anymore. Now she just occasionally shows a helpless frustration, because she knows how much her husband spoils her, even if she cries for help, he'll still spoil her, and she simply can't handle it...

“Um… Katsuhiko…” Haruko didn’t dare call her father “husband” in front of Chika, so she added “husband” in her mind. Then, she continued to glance at Katsuhiko’s face and asked softly, “I don’t want to go back to the house my mother rents. Do you… do you have any recommendations?”

Anyway, from last night until this morning, I've been in a pleasant state both physically and mentally. Katsuhiko is gentle and considerate, and he seems to know everything, which makes him irresistible... He even agreed to let me call him husband...

“Sure, my wives all own a house. You can choose any one of them to stay with temporarily, and then buy your own house next door once you've made some money.”

After returning home, Sheng Yan decided to show her what it meant to be "as pitiful and helpless as Sayuri." He also decided to stop giving her the [Recovery Potion] and instead give her the slow-recovery [Potion Mineral Water] to cure her clingy behavior. Otherwise, if this continued, it would breed jealousy.

Go back to the convenience store first...

"Huh? Just find someone... find, find who?" Haruko's heart suddenly tightened, and she inexplicably felt that Katsuhiko's tone had become somewhat cold.

"Go find whoever is easy to talk to!" Katsuhiko said casually. "I don't care about your women's business."

“Okay…” Haruko thought of the video screenshots of the “Twin Lotus Kanzaki Sisters Fighting Over Boyfriend” that are still being reported by many unscrupulous media outlets. She didn’t know who was pinning whom down on the table and tearing at each other’s hair, but it was very barbaric.

Last night during our phone call, Mikoto, Sayuri, and Masayuki were probably just being polite on the surface. They might have been secretly pinning each other down on the table and tearing each other's hair. After all, Katsuhiko-kun is so gentle, considerate, and playful—he's irresistible! Everyone would want to possess him for as long as possible!

The lives of the ladies in high society... Could I survive there?

It was six o'clock in the afternoon, just as the sun was setting.

Katsuhiko, carrying Chinatsu and with Haruko lost in thought, returned to the convenience store.

Before they even reached the door, at Mikoto's call from beside the cashier, Sayuri, Shiraki Masayuki, and the other two stood side by side at the door, all wearing the same style of maternity wear, and then smiled like loving mothers, gently stroking their bellies.

Masayuki Shiraki didn't go home last night, and she should be at work today. She called Ikuyo Sato to resign. Normally, she should have been dismissed by the hospital long ago, given her probation period. However, Ikuyo Sato, the only heir of a zaibatsu family, refused.

Shiraki Masayuki simply stopped going, and didn't even want half a month's salary... she basically put all her hopes on Katsuhiko.

At that moment, Haruko, who was standing next to Katsuhiko, stopped in her tracks, as if struck by lightning, and stammered, "Husband, your wife... your wife is... is pregnant?"

What an amazing husband! Three women pregnant at the same time... how many times must they have sex in such a short period? Are they crazy?!

Katsuhiko put Chinatsu down, and Chinatsu dashed into the convenience store.

Katsuhiko walked straight to the store entrance and said, "Those three are the fastest; the other four haven't started yet, they're working on it."

Eiyo and Kotoha were quite anxious, and perhaps it was some kind of mystical thing, but the more anxious they were, the more things didn't go as planned... Meanwhile, Yuma Kanzaki and Yumi Kanzaki were completely immersed in entertainment and play.

As for Oriko, she's more of a supporter than an agent, so she doesn't fall into this category. Oriko has also clearly stated that she doesn't want anything in return, only that when she's with Yumi, she shouldn't forget her. Oriko's husband is failing, and they're currently separated. She only sends money home, and the whole family lives on her salary, which is very difficult... This act of helping others is just a side thing.

She is Yumi's personal agent, and her physical and mental health is related to her work efficiency, so it is very necessary to provide her with support.

"The other four are still... still trying... probably defeated by the three of them in a duel..." Haruko muttered to herself, then looked at the shop entrance, feeling a little scared.

All three of them looked at her with "weird" smiles.

I only recognize Mikoto so far, since she's Chinatsu's teacher. As for the other two, I can tell them apart after a little thought. The cute lady in the middle is probably Sayuri; she's the shortest, but her chest is quite large.

The woman standing on the other side, who looked like a company executive, had conducted a background check on her over the phone last night, like a phone interview...

As soon as Katsuhiko reached the door, Haruko immediately followed, then bowed three times at a 90-degree angle and said, "Mrs. Mikoto, Mrs. Sayuri, Mrs. Masaie, hello, I am Haruko Saionji."

Mikoto and Masayuki both looked at Sayuri, waiting for her to speak first.

Last night, Mikoto invited Masayuki to stay at her house, mainly to instill some of her own views in Masayuki's mind, such as: Sayuri-chan comes first, and we must always keep her happiness index at its highest. Only then will we have a good life...

Yazhi thought Mikoto was like a eunuch serving an ancient emperor. Of course, since Mikoto said so, she naturally had to obey, after all, she was the seventh son. Moreover, Mikoto also said that she was Katsuhiko's handpicked "chief steward of the harem"...

I'm so envious. I also want to get a position... Yazhi believes that her parenting knowledge is superb. She could consider becoming a "parenting expert" in this big family, where all the sisters would ask her for advice and she would be respected, right?

"Oh, Ms. Haruko, don't just stand at the door, come in!"

Sayuri was quite pleased with the respect shown to her by Mikoto and Masako, and she instantly forgot her original intention of giving Haruko a hard time to show her authority as the legal wife.

"Thank you, Mrs. Sayuri." Haruko, who had just started working, immediately recognized that the busty loli Sayuri was the highest-ranking.

Then she must be the fiercest... Haruko thought of the video of the Kanzaki sisters fighting each other, and Katsuhiko's attitude of treating everyone equally and not caring about anything, and thought to herself.

Mikoto and Masayuki, like Sayuri's attendants, enthusiastically gestured for Haruko to come in.

However, after sitting down on the sofa, as Sayuri coughed lightly, Masayuki suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Sayuri, "Sayuri-chan, today is your day!"

"Is it my day?" Sayuri's eyes widened as she looked at the calendar and asked, "What day of the week is it today?"

“Today is Sunday,” Masako said solemnly. “Because Mikoto-neechan didn’t participate, she stepped in at the last minute. Yesterday was my day, but I gave my time to Haruko-chan, so today it’s Sayuri-chan’s turn.”

Haruko looked completely bewildered, turning her head, widening her eyes, and slightly parting her lips as her blank gaze moved between the three of them.

“Hmm,” Mikoto said, raising a slender index finger. “In other words, the period from midnight last night to midnight tonight belongs to Sayuri-chan.”

Haruko jumped up and bowed deeply to Sayuri, her forehead touching her knees, saying, "Sayuri-chan, I'm sorry. I will give you back your time. Please forgive me."

Haruko understood; they were targeting her because she was taking up Sayuri's time!

"Haruko-chan, please don't be so polite. You're new here, so it's understandable that you don't know the rules. I don't mind." Sayuri picked up the coffee from the coffee table and handed it to Haruko. "Have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself. You must have had a tough night, right?"

“Last night…uh…um…” Haruko stammered, holding the coffee cup in both hands.

How could it be hard? I wish every night could be like that... They seem to be divided into days of the week. There are three in front of me, and four others. Seven days a week, and I'm the eighth... I can't live without days that belong to me...

Mikoto, Sayuri, and Masayuki exchanged glances and saw the smiles in each other's eyes; they had guessed correctly.

Based on the information Yachi obtained last night, Haruko has never experienced anything. Therefore, according to her husband's personality, he would definitely take very good care of the person he spends the night with on their first date.

Just like when I first played with my husband, I felt happy and couldn't stop. I wished we could stay together every minute and every second. But if I was too clingy, my husband would punish me.

Haruko is in this clingy state right now! Her husband definitely won't let her get away with it...

First, give her a pure Japanese-style workplace bullying experience. When she's most anxious, she receives comfort from her husband... What she thought was comfort is actually punishment, and she'll never forget it!

Yazhi looked at Katsuhiko, who was carrying a cup of coffee, with a smile and said, "Honey, you've neglected Sayuri-chan! Go on a date with her on her special day."

Haruko looked at Sayuri with a nervous expression, while Sayuri stared innocently at the ceiling.

"Stop talking nonsense," Katsuhiko said, placing one hand on Masa's head and messing up her carefully styled professional hairstyle. Then, he sat between Mikoto and Sayuri, first pulling Sayuri into his arms, then grabbing Mikoto's hand and rubbing it. He looked at Haruko, who looked nervous, and said, "Haruko-chan, have you decided whose house you're going to stay at? The other four are Yuma, Yumi, Eiyo, and Kotoha."

Chapter 136 Staying at Kotoha's House

Mikoto, Sayuri, and Masayuki looked at each other with questions, so Katsuhiko gave a brief explanation.

The gist of it is that Haruko is living with her mother, Mrs. Saionji. Because the rent is about to expire and has not been renewed, she may be evicted at any time. So she doesn't want to go back to the rented house. Since she has nowhere to live, she thinks she can choose to stay at the house of whoever has a good temper.

"So, we'll choose whoever has the best temper?" Xiaobaihe deliberately put on a stern face and confirmed again, thinking to herself: I absolutely can't let her stay at my place, or I'll lose all face...

Xiaobaihe needs to portray an image that is not to be trifled with.

Tonight, Haruko is destined to be punished by her husband, and during that "punishment," it's bound to arouse all sorts of fantasies. Sayuri knows her emotions are too easily stirred. Now, being pregnant, and with the doctor saying the placenta is unstable and she can't have too much stimulation, everything is inconvenient. If Haruko is as "promiscuous" as Mikoto or Yumi, or even as "unbounded and promiscuous" as Kotoha, that would be awkward.

"Not necessarily, I just said it offhand. We'll see what Haruko-chan thinks." Katsuhiko remained aloof.

Haruko stared at Katsuhiko, her mouth agape, her helpless expression tinged with confusion, as if to say: "Not only will they not speak up for me, but they're also bullying me with them? They were so kind last night, was it all just an act...?"

Yazhi turned her head away and chuckled. Her house was far away in Ota Ward, so it could basically be ruled out. Besides, she didn't want to go home and was currently staying at Mikoto's place.

Mikoto, a smile playing on her lips, asked, "Haruko-chan, among the three of us, who has the best temper?"

When Mikoto heard Katsuhiko deliberately mention Yuma, Yumi, Eiyo, and Kotoha, she knew that he didn't intend for Haruko to live in the house of three pregnant women.

I was thinking of inviting Haruko to stay at my place, and maybe instilling in her the idea that "Sayuri is the most important person." And if I could also... she might scream for help tonight, that would be super exciting! But unfortunately, Chinatsu is in the children's room, so I can't guarantee Haruko won't scream. I'll pass on that idea!

"Haruko-chan, Mikoto-neechan is asking you a question!" Yae raised an eyebrow, putting further pressure on you, "She's asking you, which of the three of us has the best temper? Choose the one with the best temper to stay with!"

"I...I, I think...everything is...everything is fine..."

Haruko didn't want to stay at any of the three women's homes.

It's like holding a knife to someone's throat, forcing them to say she's a good person. How can I put it? If I said anything about her, the other two would probably pull my hair out.

The reason they got pregnant earlier than the other four must have been because they fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. After all, who wouldn't want to be pregnant with Sheng Yanjun's child! That would mean a lifetime of comfort and security... A woman's demands are simple: a husband like Sheng Yanjun, and a life free from want...

However, the world of the wealthy is too complicated, and Haruko wants to go home and sleep with her mother.

"You're not planning to split yourself into three parts and live in our places separately, are you?" Yazhi tilted her head with a half-smile, then looked at Mikoto, who was smirking, and asked, "Mikoto-neechan, do you have any cutting tools in your shop?"

Sayuri suddenly trembled and looked at Masayuki with surprise.

Haruko's face had turned deathly pale.
