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

She blinked hard, then lowered her head, panting, "Wait, wait a minute, I, I'm a little dizzy, just need to catch my breath..."

"You're really bad." Sheng Yan pulled her arm off his neck, turned around and went out the door. "Let's go."

"Let me rest for a bit, you wait for me in the car..."

Kanzaki Yumi licked her lips.

I used to find it disgusting to see other people kissing and swallowing each other's saliva, but after trying it myself, I felt like my pores were about to explode from being electrocuted.

Sheng Yan turned his back, waved his hand, went out the door, and walked downstairs with a flourish.

Kanzaki Yumi leaned against the doorframe with one hand and pressed her other hand against her lower abdomen, staring blankly at Katsuhiko's departing figure for a while: As expected of the man I like, he left so decisively, without even a trace of lingering affection... Damn it, I'm almost at my breaking point...

Yumi Kanzaki didn't close the door. She sat sideways on the sofa, her legs weak, trying to calm herself down. She took out the lyrics and music to study, humming a few lines softly, and becoming more and more delighted as she listened.

I couldn't help but relive the memory of our first kiss. It wasn't that I couldn't breathe, but rather that I forgot to breathe, probably because I was short of oxygen. My legs felt weak and my lower abdomen was burning hot...

The sound of high heels echoed in the hallway outside the door.

Yingdai and Qinye poked their heads into the door frame, one above the other.

Kanzaki Yumi remained seated, slumped on the sofa, her cheeks still slightly flushed. She glanced over and said languidly, "What are you looking at?"

The initial excitement in their eyes immediately turned to regret.

Eiyo strode in, glanced behind the sofa, then stood in front of Kanzaki Yumi, hands on hips, looking down at her, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Kotoha turned her head and glanced at every possible hiding spot, then asked, "Where's Katsuhiko-kun?"

"He should be waiting for me in the car!" Kanzaki Yumi flicked the lyrics and music pages, stood up lazily, raised her arms high, stretched in a flirtatious pose, and laughed, "He just gave me two more songs, my heart was pounding so hard, I wanted to sleep with him right there and then, but he ran away."

Eiyo and Kotoha initially ignored Kanzaki Yumi's shameless words, but then hesitated slightly.

Katsuhiko should know that Sayuri was coming to catch them cheating... Could he have changed his mind? Sayuri-chan is still hiding in the hallway; all he needs to do is give her a signal, and she'll make her grand entrance, displaying her majesty as the wife...

“Oh right,” Kanzaki Yumi flicked the lyrics again, then continued, “I’m going to Shibuya with Katsuhiko to record a song. We’ll probably see a movie, but I don’t want to see a movie. I’m about to explode. I’m taking him to a hotel to rest. You stayed in 202 last time, right? I’m going to stay in 302, above you…”

Yumi Kanzaki felt she'd been a bit too blunt, but she couldn't think of a better idea right away. She decided to gamble that even if the two girls suspected something, they wouldn't tell Sayuri! After all, it was all to make Sayuri-chan happy…

"Trying to take my place? Next time I'll stay in room 402."

"Let's talk about it next time! Bye~"

Chapter 82 Yuzuru: I Don't Want to Suffer a Loss

Kanzaki Yumi rode in Katsuhiko's car and headed to Shibuya Ward.

After being embellished by Eiyo and Kotoyo, Sayuri decided to go ahead and wait for them to come to her...

However, Eiyo was stopped by Tanaka Yutaka.

He deliberately sent Sayuri and Kotoha away first, then, with a dark face, he subtly informed Eiyo of the company's situation: "The company needs legal counsel now, and the record company has even sent people. As the company's only legal counsel, are you sure you don't want to take responsibility? President Takenaka will probably get tired of someone like you who doesn't do his job properly very quickly, right? You don't want to become just a pretty face who only knows how to catch cheaters, do you?"

Yingdai was struck dumb, feeling utterly ashamed and wishing she could disappear. She yelled at Tanaka Yutaka, "Stop talking! I'm going to work now!"

Then Yingdai approached Xiaobaihe and said regretfully: "The company needs me, I can't leave, you guys go instead!"

After a slight surprise, Sayuri also reflected on her actions for three seconds: her secondhand shop was being looked after by her older sister Mikoto and her mother, so it hadn't affected her work. Now it was like taking a leave of absence, so she could grab things without worry.

As for Yingdai's decision, she was quite pleased, since Yingdai's salary card was in her own hands. The reason she wasn't doing her job properly was to cooperate with her, which made things difficult for her.

"Then go to work! The two of us are enough."

Sayuri shook Eiyo's hand to show her approval, then confirmed the address of the love hotel again before preparing to set off with Kotoyo.

"Ms. Qinye, please come here for a moment as well."

Tanaka Yutaka then looked at Kotoha with a dark expression.

Qin Ye was stunned for a moment. She wanted to go with Xiao Baihe to catch them in the act of adultery.

It's a really exciting thing, and if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of Yumi Kanzaki in a weird way. Just thinking about it gets my blood pumping...

When Yingdai expressed her intention to stay and work, Qinye also reflected on herself, wondering if she had really been neglecting her duties.

First of all, I am the president of "Watanabe Food Processing Plant", but now I only have two production lines open, and they are all for regular customers, so I don't have much to do.

Right now, the main thing is to wait for Kenta's death insurance payout to arrive in three months. Once we have the money, we can start expanding our business. As for how to expand it, I don't know yet, since I'm just an accountant and have no management skills...

Wait a minute! I think I also manage the finances of Xia Ying Society...

Kotoha also regretfully told Sayuri: "I can't go..."

"Alright! I can manage on my own," Little Lily waved her hand dismissively. "You guys work hard! Make more money..."

As Xiaobaihe walked out of the factory gate, she felt uncertain.

If she withdraws from both of them, what if she angers Katsuhiko? Will she have to bear the consequences alone? Won't that make her seem too jealous?

But if I don't play a prank on him, it'll make me seem like I'm easy to bully, and I can't swallow this injustice...

Then, Sayuri ran into a public phone booth and called Mikoto to ask her for courage.

Mikoto had already finished discussing the matter of opening a branch with Mrs. Kudo, and was secretly wiping the family register while giggling to herself.

The process went very smoothly; Mrs. Kudo was practically grinning from ear to ear. Just moments ago, she'd been praising herself in front of Katsuhiko's parents, and my mother-in-law had even smiled at me, albeit a stiff one…

The four elders have already gone sightseeing. The two female elders went shopping, and the two male elders said they were going to check out the factory…

While wiping the household registration copy, Mikoto answered Sayuri's phone call.

Upon learning of Xiaobaihe's apprehension, he immediately said: No problem, go for it. Even if you suddenly barge in and rip their blankets off, it doesn't matter.

Xiao Baihe subconsciously thought about it and shuddered. Although she really wanted to do it, she was still worried about angering her husband.

Mikoto said, "Didn't Mr. Takenaka already know? And he's cooperating with you. Doesn't that mean you two are punishing the mistress together? If my husband were willing to cooperate with me like this, I would be very excited..."

Lily was still somewhat worried.

Mikoto thought for a moment and, considering that she probably couldn't keep her relationship a secret for long, decided to take advantage of the present moment to interact more with Katsuhiko in front of Sayuri and continue to give Sayuri a heads-up.

He immediately asked, "Do you need me to come help? How about we fight together?"

Xiaobaihe was overjoyed and quickly gave him the address, arranging to meet at the Shibuya-ku intersection.

At this time, Katsuhiko and Yumi Kanzaki had already entered the recording studio.

The staff at the recording studio were very enthusiastic, and they even hastily made a fan sign that read "Yumi-chan" and asked her to sign it... Six songs charted and entered the top ten, so it can be said that she reached her peak right from her debut.

They even gave me a discounted price.

Of course, they didn't forget to shower Katsuhiko with praise. There were also quite a few newcomers in the store with musical dreams, who cautiously handed Katsuhiko their business cards and cautiously asked him if they had the potential to sing, and if he had time to schedule a check-up for them...

While Katsuhiko was surrounded by a group of people, Kanzaki Yumi took the opportunity to call Kanzaki Yuma, who was waiting anxiously at the only couples' hotel in the shopping street near the factory, and told her that she had changed locations...

"Are you kidding me?!" Yuma Kanzaki was furious. She was told she would arrive in half an hour, but she had been waiting for over an hour and had sent nearly a hundred messages to Yumi Kanzaki's pager. Now she finally got a call back, but it was just another change of location.

"Don't be angry! I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

"Stop with the nonsense, give me five million yen in compensation for emotional distress."

Yuma Kanzaki turned her head to look at the radio at the hotel reception, which was playing "Until the End of the World." She had just heard the latest report from the announcer, saying that Yumi Kanzaki and Katsuhiko Takenaka were a model couple and rising stars in the music industry... How cheesy.

"No problem, no problem. When I have money, I'll give you ten million yen."

Kanzaki Yumi readily agreed, saying, "Get this done first, the rest will be easy. Going back on your word is no big deal! I could do that too..."

Afterwards, Kanzaki Yumi estimated the time and figured they would be going to the hotel in about two hours. She then asked Kanzaki Yuma to book a room in advance. Since the two of them looked exactly alike, she didn't have to worry about the staff recognizing them if she switched places, even if she was bringing an extra person with her.

Shibuya Ward is located between Shinjuku Ward and Ota Ward.

After Mikoto finished tidying up the shop, she took the subway to Shibuya Ward. Yuma Kanzaki went straight there and arrived earlier than Mikoto.

As for Sayuri, she needed to wait for Mikoto at that famous intersection in Shibuya, so when Yuma Kanzaki checked into the hotel, she didn't run into Sayuri.

After booking her room, Yuma Kanzaki realized she had more than an hour to spare and it was almost lunchtime. Not wanting to wait in her room, she went to the ramen shop next door for lunch.

At this moment, Mikoto and Sayuri also arrived at the hotel entrance.

Mikoto wore a large gray sun hat and a long gray coat. Sayuri also wrapped herself up quite tightly, wearing a black coat with a high collar that covered half of her face, and she was also wearing a mask.

When Mikoto got off the bus, she made a special call to Katsuhiko's cell phone to confirm what time she would arrive.

Katsuhiko's estimated time was about the same as Kanzaki Yumi's. Since Kanzaki Yumi was singing in the soundproof room, she didn't know that Eiyo and Kotoha couldn't come and that Mikoto had replaced them. At the same time, Kanzaki Yuma didn't know about this either.

Seeing that it was still early, Mikoto decided to take Sayuri to the ramen shop next door for lunch.

However, worried that she was too late, Sayuri went to the front desk and pretended to want to check if Katsuhiko and Kanzaki Yumi had checked into room 302.

The waiter informed us that we were a step too late, meaning someone had just made a reservation.

Xiaobaihe had expected this, so she wasn't surprised and was even a little delighted: it came just in time.

Of course, Mikoto was a little surprised. Wasn't it supposed to take another hour?

Then, while the waiter was attending to other customers, she secretly glanced at the customer registration list: Yuma Kazaki.

What kind of game is this? Are the two sisters taking turns?

Mikoto considered Kanzaki Yuma's personality, as well as her relationship with her husband, which wasn't yet at the stage of being familiar with him, so she definitely wouldn't do that.

There's another big problem: Yuzuru Kanzaki practices karate and is quite a serious person, at least on the surface. So, if I and Sayuri suddenly rush in to grab her, we'll probably get grabbed instead, and might even get beaten up. A husband can't possibly get involved in a women's fight…

She pondered this for a long time and came to one conclusion: Yumi was going to play tricks and didn't want to cooperate in making Sayuri happy.

Little Lily is such a wonderful wife...

She can't tell the difference between the king and queen. Yumi is dishonest and needs to be punished.

But how to punish them is the question.

Thinking about it carefully, Yumi has never been in a relationship or had a male friend before. Well, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She probably wants something that will be a beautiful memory every time she looks back, not an embarrassing scene of being caught cheating…

But Little Lily is now itching to try... I'm so conflicted.

Mikoto once again experiences the difficulty of mediating relationships between various parties for Katsuhiko. How can she maintain stability? How can she make everyone happy?

Why not help Yumi smooth things over for now, and then let her regret her decision later?

So, next, I need to find Yuma without telling Sayuri-chan and talk to her. I can't let her beat me up...

"Sister Mikoto, when should we go in?" Sayuri's eyes were wide open, her nervousness mixed with excitement.

"Ah, if we want to catch them in the act, we should probably wait an hour before kicking down the door!"

Mikoto was certain that Katsuhiko wasn't inside yet, so there was only Yuma Kanzaki inside. Therefore, she and Sayuri could hide in the hall and wait. As for kicking down the door an hour later, they could wait another hour once they saw Katsuhiko and Yumi.
