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

Qin Ye, standing next to her, craned her neck with a puzzled expression.

Chapter 89 Yumi: What if Yuma comes to the company and hits me?

Yingdai stood at the door with her head down, her face flushed red, and her fingers twisting incessantly.

Kotoha blinked her curious eyes and asked, "Eiyasu-neechan?"

The British representative did not respond.

Curiosity also appeared in Sayuri's eyes. She and Kotoha looked at Katsuhiko and asked, "What's wrong with Eiyo-neechan?"

"Probably..."

Before Katsuhiko could finish speaking, Eiya suddenly jumped up, covered his mouth, and dragged him into the room. She closed the door, leaned close to Katsuhiko's ear, and stammered, "Could you keep this a secret for me?"

Katsuhiko asked疑惑地问道, "What's the secret?"

Yingdai's face was flushed red, almost contorted in embarrassment. She bit her finger, her eyes darting away as she said, "It's...it's..."

"Alright, alright! Let's eat and get to work."

During breakfast, apart from Yingdai who kept her head down and shoveled rice into her mouth, the others were at least outwardly calm.

After lunch, I have to go to work.

Sayuri is going to the convenience store, while Katsuhiko, Eiyo, and Kotoha are going to the company. The journey is long, and they don't want to take the subway, so they need to drive Mikoto's car, which is at the convenience store.

The four of them then walked together toward Mikoto's house.

Katsuhiko and Sayuri walked ahead. Behind them, as usual, Kotoha and Eiyo should have walked side by side, but this time, Eiyo lagged far behind. Even when Kotoha curiously approached, Eiyo blushed and pushed Kotoha away, refusing to let her get close.

Xiaobaihe became curious and asked in a low voice, "Honey, Eiyo-chan seems strange. Did something happen?"

Katsuhiko shrugged and shook his head, saying, "I don't know."

Eida is so cute...

Xiaobai assumed that Yingdai was embarrassed because she had blocked the door, so she didn't ask any further questions. Then she suddenly remembered that she should go back to the apartment to make breakfast for her parents-in-law and show her good qualities as a daughter-in-law...

Shengyan didn't let her go back either. Her parents weren't too old to climb the stairs, and besides, they had been so "busy" last night. Going back now would only make things more awkward.

The doorbell rang, but Mikoto had already left. Since Kanzaki Yumi was staying at the company, Mikoto had to personally take Chinatsu to school...

I arrived at the convenience store at 10 a.m.

Besides Mikoto, Mrs. Kudo was also in the shop, sitting at the long table with her elbows on the table, her index finger touching her lips, her eyes vacant, as if she were in a daze or had encountered some problem...

As usual, Mikoto stood smiling at the door to greet Sayuri.

"Good morning, Lily-chan! How was your night?"

"Good morning, Misaka-neechan. Last night... was it alright?"

Sayuri felt ashamed thinking about how Kotoha had "rescued" her last night. She quickly replied and ran into the game corner without even seeing her mother, Mrs. Kudo.

Mikoto smiled, placed the car keys in Katsuhiko's hand, and tilted her head to look at Kotoyo and Eiyo.

Qinye looked up at the birds in the sky as if nothing was wrong, while Yingdai's face turned red, her head was lowered, and her eyes were darting around.

Mikoto asked softly, "They're all acting so strangely, is something wrong?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure."

Katsuhiko lightly patted Mikoto's bottom, then said goodbye to Mrs. Kudo, who was still in a daze.

Mrs. Kudo seemed not to hear, while Mikoto covered her mouth and chuckled beside her.

Katsuhiko guessed that it was probably because of Mr. Kudo, so he ignored her and told Eiyo and Kotoha to get into the car.

The car radio, on the FM music channel, was playing Yumi Kanzaki's new songs "Blue Bird" and "Time after time," which had clearly been a hit on the charts.

After the car started, Yingdai and Qinye squeezed into the back seat.

Qinye scratched her head curiously, ignoring Yingdai's attempts to hide, grabbed her shoulder, and whispered, "Why are you still shy? What happened this morning?"

Qinye didn't believe that Yingdai's shy demeanor was because she and Xiaobaihe had blocked her at the door when she opened it that morning.

"No, nothing," Yingdai said, crossing her left leg over her right, clenching her hands tightly together, and lowering her head. "Nothing happened..."

As she spoke, she bit her lip and glanced at Katsuhiko's position, looking both nervous and secretly pleased.

Kotoha's heart skipped a beat, and she asked softly, "Could it be... that Katsuhiko-kun has agreed to register our marriage?"

"No..." Yingdai looked like she was trying hard to suppress a laugh, tilting her head to face the car window, her face flushed with embarrassment. "Please don't ask anymore, there's no way I could tell you..."

Kotoha became even more curious, but no matter how she asked, Eiyo refused to answer. She also kept glancing at Katsuhiko, looking quite flirtatious...

The only thing Kotoha could think of that could make Eiyo so happy was the marriage registration... She turned to Katsuhiko and asked tentatively, "Katsuhiko-kun, did you and Eiyo-neechan say anything this morning?"

“Aside from telling her to focus, I didn’t say anything else,” Katsuhiko said dismissively. “If you’re really curious, just ask her. I don’t know anything.”

Eiyo smiled and kept glancing at Katsuhiko's face, clearly satisfied with his answer.

Qinye didn't get any answers and remained conflicted the whole way.

Several black minivans were parked on the roadside near the factory gate, with stickers of certain news media on their bodies, but no one was in sight.

Sheng Yan drove the car into the factory and parked it in its designated spot. Just as the three of them got out of the car, several reporters who had been squatting by the garden nearby took a few photos.

Eiyo and Kotoha suddenly remembered that Kanzaki Yumi had already gone public with her relationship with Katsuhiko. Although they were very angry, today was a press conference, and they were worried about causing any bad effects, so they took two steps back and followed behind Katsuhiko.

Before the three of them even reached the office building, Kanzaki Yumi strode over to greet them.

She wore exquisite makeup, and her coat was still the same black leather trench coat. She wasn't wearing her lawyer's uniform anymore; instead, she was wearing a black dress that just reached her knees. As she walked, the trench coat billowed, and her long legs swung wildly.

"Good morning, Katsuhiko-kun!" Kanzaki Yumi reached out a few steps away and hugged Katsuhiko's arm. "The two songs you gave me last night also made it to the charts, and my value has increased again."

Kanzaki Yumi ignored Eiyo and Kotoha, who were stunned for a long time before they reacted.

"Hey, you rude guy," Eiyo said, raising her hand to poke Kanzaki Yumi in the lower back. However, noticing the reporters taking pictures around, she didn't dare to poke her. She said irritably, "Don't you even greet your senior? Are you looking for a beating again?"

Kanzaki Yumi still clung to Katsuhiko's arm, not turning her head, and whispered, "I'm a big star now, lots of reporters are taking pictures and watching. You two third parties, watch your image and don't disturb me and my boyfriend's lovey-dovey moment."

"Damn it! I'll deal with you when we get to the office."

Qinye was still curious about what happened that morning and asked, "Sister Yingdai, what exactly happened to you this morning?"

"It's nothing, don't ask anymore." Yingdai's angry face stiffened, and she immediately quickened her pace. "I'm going to my office now."

Kanzaki Yumi turned around and asked, "What happened?"

Qinye tilted her head and said, "I won't tell you."

“Okay,” Kanzaki Yumi said casually. Kotoha was easier to talk to than Eiyo, and immediately asked the important question that Yumi was concerned about, “Did you meet with Sayuri-chan last night? Is she still going to arrest me?”

"Don't try to get information out of me, I'm not telling you," Qin Ye said with a smug glint in her eyes. "Just wait to be beaten up by the four of us together!"

Kanzaki Yumi blinked and laughed. Since there were four people, it probably included Mikoto, since she had also tricked her. However, Kanzaki Yumi didn't mind being beaten up at all, and then asked, "Shouldn't there be five people? Didn't Yuma come looking for you?"

Qinye asked, "What does she want with us?"

"Don't you know?" Kanzaki Yumi said very frankly, briefly explaining yesterday's original plan, which was that Kanzaki Yuma would probably stay under the hotel bed for one night... She continued, "She will definitely be furious and want to kill me. You should team up with her to catch me."

If there were five people together, Yuma Kanzaki would probably be too embarrassed to go all out, but if she were alone, I can't even imagine...

"Is she also Katsuhiko-kun's girlfriend?" Kotoha's focus was clearly not on the same wavelength as Kanzaki Yumi's. She then asked, "Does Sayuri-chan know?"

"How could that be? She's a..."

Yumi Kanzaki thought she knew Yuma Kanzaki very well, a proud lady who dreamed of turning her life around on her own, her manga career... wait! Katsuhiko-kun also draws manga, and I've bragged about it to her many times... Oh no, is he going to steal my boyfriend?

Kanzaki Yumi hadn't thought about this before, but after Kotoha reminded her, the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Hey, what is she?" Qinye asked, craning her neck.

“She was supposed to be a pure love warrior, but I feel like she’s not pure anymore.” Kanzaki Yumi shook her head speechlessly, tilted her head to look at Katsuhiko, and asked, “Katsuhiko-kun, did you go to see Mikoto-neechan last night?”

"She's my wife, of course I have to go find her." Katsuhiko said without looking to the side, his face expressionless.

Kanzaki Yumi then asked, "Did you run into Yuma?"

"You two look exactly alike, I can't tell who is Yujin and who is Yumi. Don't ask me anymore, I'm just a tool that follows orders."

"Okay...you fake tool."

Kanzaki Yumi slapped her forehead speechlessly. Knowing Yuma's personality, once she got angry, she wouldn't hold it in for more than one night. She would definitely have chased her to Mikoto's house last night; it seemed she had met with Katsuhiko. After all, Yuma had just changed her hairstyle last night; before that, it wasn't exactly the same.

However, given Yuzuru's personality, she wouldn't be able to pounce on someone upon meeting them; she'd probably become an apprentice first.

"Yuma is Katsuhiko-kun's girlfriend, right?" Kotoha asked thoughtfully, then continued, "Does Sayuri-chan know?"

Katsuhiko remained expressionless, failing to detect any suspicious signs, which greatly disappointed Kotoha.

She and Eiyo had made a contract with Sayuri before, stipulating that if Katsuhiko had a new girlfriend, they would have to tell Sayuri immediately, and if they could stop it, they would do so; if they couldn't, they would, as usual, catch them in the act of adultery first, so that she would know who was in charge.

At that time, Yingdai always stood tall with his chest out...

Qinye, who also covets the title of "wife," enjoys catching her husband cheating, demonstrating her sense of ownership and making herself appear as the wife...

“It’s probably not like that yet,” Kanzaki Yumi shrugged. “You need to find her first, and then discuss with her about coming together to beat me up. If she really beats me up, then she doesn’t have this idea. If she doesn’t beat me up, it means she’s guilty and has this idea.”

Qin Ye's eyes darted around, and she asked with a mischievous grin, "Are you two exactly alike? Besides your hairstyles, are there any other ways to tell you apart? If you were impersonating her or she were impersonating you, how would you tell the difference?"

She figured the deal was probably done, after all, Katsuhiko was really charming and irresistible... She needed to gather intelligence for the upcoming "catching them in the act" operation.

"Who knows! Find it yourself!" Kanzaki Yumi could tell at a glance that Kotoha's "naive" face clearly said, "I need to investigate your information, so tell me quickly."

"I knew you wouldn't tell," Qin Ye knew her weakness and felt quite frustrated, but that didn't stop her from being stubborn. She quickened her pace and ran into the stairwell, turning back to say, "I'm going to find Yuzuru. She'll tell me. Just wait, the five of us will beat you up together!"

Yumi Kanzaki couldn't confirm whether Yuma Kanzaki really wanted to steal her boyfriend, as it must have been quite awkward and embarrassing!

Although I didn't realize it myself, I was genuinely thin-skinned.

"Katsuhiko-kun, what do you think of Yuma?" Kanzaki Yumi pulled Katsuhiko's arm, which she had been holding in her arms, and draped it over her shoulder.

“I told you, you two look exactly alike,” Sheng Yan said, pinching her collar and pulling it outwards. He glanced at her sideways and said, “I can’t tell the difference.”

Kanzaki Yumi smiled, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. She patted Katsuhiko's buttocks, her fingers gripping him loosely or tightly, and said, "You didn't plan this all along, did you?"

Sheng Yan pulled her restless hands away and said, "I told you, you two look exactly alike."

What if she starts dating another man? Wouldn't that be awkward? After all, they have the same hairstyle, and Yuma's imitation of Yumi is so perfect, Yumi could probably imitate Yuma very easily too! Except she can't fight…

The two went up to the fourth floor.

Kanzaki Yumi pulled Katsuhiko to stand against the wall, her body pressed close to his, and asked with a smile in her eyes, "Do you want to know the biggest difference between us?"
