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

As soon as Katsuhiko got into the car, Mrs. Kudo, who was in the front seat, immediately acted as if it was none of her business.

Eiyo and Kotoha, who were in the middle, peeked over, and Sayuri, who was in the last corner, also looked up.

Katsuhiko told the driver to get going, then passed Mrs. Kudo, Eiyo and Kotoha, and squeezed in next to Sayuri.

Xiaobaihe lowered her head, nudged him with her shoulder, and didn't say anything.

Katsuhiko immediately took Sayuri's hand, breathed warm air into her ear, and whispered, "Sayuri-chan, thank you, you're so kind to me."

Little Lily shuddered, turned her head to look out the window, and whispered, "Those two keep calling me 'sister,' but they won't sit with me. It's so impolite. You have to keep thinking of me. I'm the best."

Although it's wrong to talk badly about someone behind their back, I'm also worried about being ostracized...

“Sayuri-chan is absolutely the best,” Katsuhiko said, picking Sayuri up and moving her closer to the aisle. Then he called out loudly, “Eiyo-chan, Kotoha-chan, come here quickly, your Sayuri-neechan is about to give you a lecture.”

"Oh dear, don't say that... It's so embarrassing..." Sayuri covered Katsuhiko's mouth, her face flushed, but it was too late.

Mrs. Kudo, sitting in the front row, opened her eyes wide and turned around.

Yingdai and Qinye had been eyeing this place for a while, so they got up and came over.

However, Eiyo looked powerless to resist her fate, while Kotoyo was as obedient as a little lamb.

Eiyo and Kotoha sat on the other row of seats across the aisle from Sayuri, their heads resting against the back of the seats in front of them, tilting their heads to look at Sayuri.

Sayuri's head was also resting on the back of the front seat, her face flushed, her eyebrows furrowed, her lips pursed. She turned her head and glanced at Kotoha and Eiyo's faces again and again. After a long while, she said, "You two are just tools."

Although it sounds insulting, they're essentially cheating on me, and I have to accept it. The most humiliating and shameful thing is for me; it's so stifling, I definitely have to save face… I'm just a tool…

Qin Ye let out a soft nasal sound, a slight smile appearing on her lips, and tilted her head to look out the window.

She remembered that Eiyo often said the same thing about Katsuhiko.

Eiyo's eyes widened, she moved her lips, glanced at Katsuhiko again, and said with a forced smile, "Katsuhiko is a tool too."

Although flattering and agreeing might save a lot of trouble, Yingdai had no intention of opposing Xiaobai. In fact, she was grateful for Xiaobai's generosity. However, she couldn't bear such humiliation. Even if she was wrong, what Xiaobai said was too hurtful. She couldn't lose her temper. Her greatest wish in this life was to be on equal footing with her.

“My husband isn’t,” Xiaobaihe pouted and said, “You are, you’re the biggest tool.”

“You… Hmph,” Yingdai saw that Xiaobaihe seemed angry and didn’t dare to talk back to her. She turned her head and said, “Say whatever you want, I’m not like that.”

“You are,” Xiaobaihe stared at Yingdai’s chest and continued, “My husband said that when we have too many babies to feed, we’ll make you our wet nurse.”

Yingdai blushed instantly, her chest heaving, clearly about to speak loudly. Qinye quickly covered her mouth and whispered to Xiaobaihe, "Sister Xiaobaihe, thank you. We will raise her as our own child."

Little Lily glanced at Qinye's chest and immediately pouted, saying, "You're the youngest, what right do you have to say such things?"

Kotoha froze, glancing instinctively at Sayuri, then down at herself, and whispered, "She's at least older than Yumi, she's the least qualified..."

"What did you say?" Sayuri's ears twitched, and her eyes widened. "Yumi? Which Yumi?"

Qin Ye gasped, instinctively covering her mouth, her eyes filled with annoyance.

A smug smile flickered in Yingdai's eyes, but she remained silent, pursing her lips.

Katsuhiko tilted his head and said to Kotoha, "I'm an open and honest person. I just say what's going on. My wife will forgive me..."

Little Lily immediately turned her head and said, "You hid one too?"

"She's afraid of you, so she's just going to cooperate. She's definitely not hiding it on purpose. She'll tell you sooner or later, after all, you're the best to me."

"Don't talk anymore," Sayuri first covered Katsuhiko's mouth, then tilted her head and squinted at Eiyo and Kotoha. After a long silence, she asked, "Is it that Kanzaki Yumi who rides the motorcycle?"

Yingdai and Qinye nodded at the same time.

Little Lily then asked, "How far have things progressed?"

"They probably have everything they need!" Eiyo glanced at Katsuhiko, then tilted her head and continued, "This morning, the two of them had some alone time."

"You beast," Sayuri glared at Katsuhiko with a wronged expression, released his mouth, and continued, "I already have three hats on my head, they're so heavy, there must be quite a lot, right?"

Katsuhiko, stroking his chin, said, "That's quite a lot, but..."

"That's it, don't say any more." Before Katsuhiko could finish speaking, Sayuri immediately covered his mouth, then turned to look at Eiyo and Kotoha, her face full of resentment, and said, "Are you just going to let him go like this? Don't you care about his health at all?"

Qin Ye was caught cheating on her only once, and she felt very wronged and dared not speak.

Yingdai felt as if struck by lightning, regretting that she hadn't thought of such a caring remark. A little ashamed, but not wanting to lose face, she whispered, "He insists, what can I do? I'm worried about him too, but he's so cunning, he just has to..."

When Sayuri thought about her own situation, she immediately felt ashamed and angry, as it seemed to be true.

"You two chat amongst yourselves! I'm going to sit in the front."

Seeing that the initial awkward atmosphere had dissipated and that he no longer needed to mediate, Sheng Yan immediately flipped out of his seat and ran to the front row.

Mrs. Kudo glanced at her sideways, gave a cold laugh, and then turned her face back to the car window.

Sayuri squeezed into a seat next to Eiyo in the back row, while Eiyo sat in the middle. Kotoha was squeezed to the window, and the three of them huddled together.

Xiaobaihe said, "I'll acquiesce for now, but you can't stop cherishing him just because he's not your husband... I'm giving you the right not to let him have any new girlfriends, you have to stop him..."

Eiyo and Kotoha nodded in agreement, a strange look in their eyes...

Kotoha asked softly, "Um, I'm going to meet Katsuhiko's parents later, what should I do?"

Xiaobaihe's face stiffened. She said, "Anyway, you've already been exposed. You can deal with it yourself. I'm not going to speak up for you. What would that make me? Ugh, I still want to reserve the right to pursue this matter..."

"What are you worried about?" Eiyo poked Kotoha's leg. "Mrs. Kudo is still your mother."

“I almost forgot,” Little Lily poked Kotoba’s leg, “How did you bribe her?”

“Give her money…give her 1500 million yen every year.”

Little Lily said, "Give me the money!"

"Huh?" Kotoha pursed her lips and said softly, "Then I'll give you 1500 million yen every year..."

Mrs. Kudo has already agreed, there's no way she can go back on her word... Even though he's the company president, it feels like he's just an employee now...

Sayuri then stared at Eiyo and said, "You can't escape it either; you'll have to give me 1500 million yen every year."

"I have no money..." Eiya's face flushed red. She was truly penniless and had been living off Kotoha's house all this time. Her eyes darted around, and she continued, "What you're doing is wrong. How can you take money? You're insulting your husband. It's illegal. I feel sorry for Katsuhiko..."

"Stop talking nonsense, you have to pay."

"I even represented your father in court for free."

“My husband saved you for free! You have to pay me, or I’ll exercise my rights as your wife.”

"Is a mortgage possible?" Eiyo continued to poke Kotoha's thigh. It was all her fault for starting such a bad trend... "I don't think I could possibly earn 1500 million yen a year..."

"Then give me your salary card, and ask me for your monthly allowance..."

"All right!"

Although Eiyo appeared outwardly humiliated, she was inwardly laughing her head off. To put it another way, she thought, "Katsuhiko is the one who's being used; I've been paid for this."

While the three were finalizing the "money exchange," Mikoto had already taken a shortcut and arrived at Tokyo Station.

Based on the address Katsuhiko gave her, she quickly found the exit where her in-laws in Hokkaido were located.

They were very conspicuous; they were all in their forties and had dark skin.

I don't know if I'm used to being in the sun, but I stood in the sun.

Sheng Yan's father was wearing a gray felt hat and a gray-black checkered suit jacket, which looked both new and worn. He was holding a pipe and puffing out smoke.

Sheng Yan's mother was wearing a simple gray-white coat, which was quite neat and clean. She was standing at the intersection looking around.

Next to the two were large and small bags of things, including fish, sea urchins, asparagus, rice, potatoes... Hokkaido local specialties.

Mikoto was secretly astonished; she wondered how her in-laws had managed to carry so much stuff...

How should we proceed? What excuse should we use?

Mikoto glanced at Chinatsu, pointed at Katsuhiko's parents, half-squatted down next to Chinatsu, and whispered, "Chinatsu-chan, do you see Grandpa and Grandma?"

"Huh?" Chika blinked and looked in the direction Mikoto was pointing. "I saw it."

Chika had never met her grandparents before, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity, not shyness, but excitement. Many of the children at school had grandparents who gave them treats.

"Mom is going to the bathroom first. You run over there quickly and call out to Grandpa and Grandma, saying that you can't find Dad and that Mom will come to find you in a little while."

"Yeah."

Chapter 73 Katsuhiko's Parents: Are you going to cover up for this little beast as soon as you arrive?!

Mikoto first went back to the car to get two bottles of mineral water, then led Chinatsu around the intersection where cars were coming and going, hid under the billboard, and reminded her again, "We can't find Daddy, remember, we can't find Daddy."

Chika ran over excitedly.

Mikoto continued to hide behind the billboard, looking in that direction, waiting for Chinatsu to rush up so she could quickly follow.

This time, I'm not here to steal Sayuri away; I'm just meeting her beforehand to give her a heads-up and let Chinatsu show off.

Mikoto was also quite guilty, unsure whether her in-laws liked Chinatsu.

Given the choice between gaining approval from her in-laws and gaining approval from her grandparents, she would definitely choose Qianxia first.

After all, a four-year-old child doesn't understand anything, and healthy growth is inseparable from a complete family.

If Chika gains her grandparents' approval, then she might as well continue to hide her status as the "official wife." Even if her in-laws consider her a mistress, it doesn't matter, since her husband has given her everything...

Mikoto's goal at this moment was simply to say hello, become acquainted with the person, and then leave immediately.

At this moment, Sheng Yan's mother was still looking around when she turned her head and saw a very cute little girl waving her little hand and calling out "Grandpa, Grandma" as she ran over.

Katsuhiko's parents looked at each other, and before they could say anything, Chika hugged Katsuhiko's mother's lap and looked up at her, saying, "Grandma, hug me."

Katsuhiko's mother instinctively bent down to pick up Chika, but then realized it was inappropriate and quickly withdrew her hand, looking at Katsuhiko's father helplessly.

Sheng Yan's father also looked surprised. He subconsciously stubbed out his pipe and tucked it into his waistband, asking, "Whose child is this? Why is he calling you 'Grandma'? Have you mistaken me for someone else?"

"They must have mistaken you for someone else. Katsuhiko just got married..."

As Sheng Yan's mother spoke, she was about to squat down and ask him a question.

Chinatsu was probably unhappy that Katsuhiko's mother didn't hug her, so she turned around and jumped onto Katsuhiko's father's lap, shouting, "Grandpa, hug me!"

Katsuhiko's father hurriedly picked up Chika and asked, "Where are your mom and dad?"

“Mom is over there,” Chika pointed to Mikoto, who had just come out from behind the billboard, and then turned back to say, “Dad is with Aunt Sayuri and the others.”

Mikoto, who was walking anxiously towards this place, slowed down after Chinatsu pointed at her.

Katsuhiko's father's hand trembled, almost causing Chika to drop it, and he asked, "What's your father's name?"
