I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shangzhe calmly replied, "Yes, I can. Qianxia, ​​don't you know how?"

Chinatsu Fuchigami pursed her lips. "I can't think of a reason to refuse."

"Chika, what are you worried about?"

Chika Fuchigami hesitated, but finally spoke her mind.

"Don't you think it's strange that a mother and daughter both like the same person?"

Yuan Shang Zhezhi didn't care too much. "Feng Zejian is so outstanding, isn't it inevitable that I'd be attracted to him?"

Chika Fuchigami is still conflicted.

“But that’s really strange. There’s only one Feng Zejian, but there are two of us. One of us has to leave.”

Yuan Shangzhezhi didn't say anything and parked the car on the side of the road.

Once he was sure it was safe, he turned and looked at his daughter with a serious expression.

“Baby, you know Feng Zejian’s situation better than I do. Are you really that confident that you can have Feng Zejian all to yourself?”

Chika Fuchigami shook her head. "No."

"We are both his ambiguous partners, so why do you insist that we both step aside? Is it just because of our relationship?"

Chika Fuchigami remained silent.

"So, to satisfy societal expectations, we must yield and give up the right to pursue the person we love?"

"If everyone were like you, how could there be any cases of a third party taking over someone else's position?"

"Besides, we didn't steal or rob. We liked it openly and honestly, so why should we back down?"

Chika Fuchigami was momentarily lost in thought.

My mother is right. Why should we put up with the world's judgment? Why should we back down? Is it just because of that kind of relationship?

But if her mother doesn't care, why is she worrying about it?

"Of course, if my darling really minds, I'm willing to compromise, after all, you are the most important person in my world."

Chika shook her head excitedly, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.

"No, that's not the outcome I want. I want Mother to be happy, but I also have feelings for Feng Zejian... If I really have to back out, that person will definitely be me."

A broken branch from the abyss caresses the thousand summers above.

"So, let's compromise. Let's not back down and just enjoy it together, okay?"

Chinatsu Fuchigami wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded.

"Ah."

After calming Yuan Shangqianxia down, Yuan Shangzhezhi started the car again.

Back home, Yuan Shang broke off a branch and washed his hair.

Because Yuan Shangzhe's hair is very, very long, she wears a wig when she takes a bath and washes her hair after she finishes bathing.

This head of smooth, black hair is so delicate that I can't bear to cut off the broken branches. No one else would either; it's hair that's been with me for over ten years.

Just then, the cell phone on the bathroom vanity rang.

He broke off a branch from the abyss, took the phone, and held it close to his ear.

"Hey."

"Zhezhi, let's meet tomorrow. I have a lot to say to you."

Yuan Shang Zhezhi frowned slightly, then clicked on the call recording.

"You have your own family, and I think you should focus on taking care of your own family first."

"This is the only time. I won't bother you again."

He broke off a branch by the abyss and pondered it over and over again.

"Okay, send me the time and address."

The next day, Fuchigami Orie was waiting at the designated location, while Shimada Toyokoto was a few minutes late.

But these few minutes are nothing.

Shimada Toyokoto was dressed in a bespoke suit, meticulously groomed from head to toe.

That hairstyle, styled with hairspray, paired with the makeup on her face.

All I can say is that you should do what you're supposed to do at your age, and don't imagine yourself as being in your twenties when you're over forty.

The only thing Shimada Toyokoto looks like now is greasy and unkempt.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Zhezhi. I should have arrived earlier, but I passed by a jewelry store and found a necklace that would suit you perfectly, so I bought it. That's why I was delayed a bit. Take a look and see if you like it."

Shimada Toyokoto took out the jewelry box, opened it, and pushed it in front of Fuchigami Oreki.

The expression on his face as he broke off a branch on the bank was subtle.

“You have a family, this is not appropriate.”

Toyokoto Shimada was full of confidence.

"This is just a small way for me to make up for what I owe you. She won't say anything even if she finds out."

Upon hearing that sentence, Fuchigami's disgust for Shimada Toyokoto intensified.

"My personal advice is that you shouldn't be attached to things that don't belong to you, otherwise what you have now may also leave you."

Suddenly, Shimada Toyokoto tightly grasped the hand that was breaking off the branch at Fuchigami's.

"Zhezhi, I was wrong. I regretted it ever since you left. If I had known what she did to you, I would never have let her succeed."

Yuan Shang Zhezhi did not rush to pull his hand away from Shimada Toyokoto's.

"Then let me ask you a question."

Shimada Toyokoto's spirits lifted, and he suddenly felt there was hope.

"Just ask me about breaking branches. Don't just ask one, ask as many as you want, it's no problem."

"Is Chinatsu doing well at the Shimada family's house?"

This question left Shimada Toyokoto speechless.

If he says yes, isn't that just blatantly lying?

He said he couldn't, and that means something.

Chika is their child. If Chika is not doing well, then what he said before is just empty talk.

Yuanxia slowly withdrew his hand from the branch.

"You realize how insincere your words were just now, don't you?"

Shimada Toyokoto still tried to argue. "I had my reasons for breaking the branch."

Yuanxia couldn't help but laugh as he broke off a branch.

"Haha, no need to explain your reasons, I can figure it out."

"In short, there's nothing for us to talk about. From now on, let's just live our own lives."

Even now, Toyokoto Shimada is still somewhat unwilling to give up.

"Can't you give me another chance?"

Yuan Shang Zhezhi calmly looked at Shimada Toyokoto.

"Honestly, the way you look disgusts me."

Without hesitation, Yuan Shang broke off a branch and turned to leave.

Shimada Toyokoto watched the departing figure of Fuchigami breaking off a branch, feeling a faint sense of resentment.

He was also filled with regret, after all, it was something that had once belonged to him.

And she's even more beautiful than before.

Perhaps it would be better to start with that person.

Feng Zejian lay in his e-sports area and suddenly opened his eyes.

He always felt like someone was talking behind his back.

Kazema didn't think about these things. In his dazed state after waking up, Kazema's thoughts drifted back to yesterday, to Shimada Toyokoto's extremely abstract declaration, which made him laugh every time he thought about it.

Just then, Feng Zejian's phone rang.

Kazesawa looked at the location, Tokyo, but the number was unfamiliar.

Feng Zejian answered immediately.

"Hey."

"Is it Kazesawa?"

Feng Zejian paused for a moment; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

He then tentatively asked, "Shimada Toyokoto?"

"Yes, let's go outside and talk."

"time and location."

"Now, Smoothie Coffee, I'm waiting for you."

Feng Zejian hung up the phone without hesitation.

More than half an hour later, Kazesawa arrived at Sumo Cafe and saw Shimada Toyokoto.

His attire today was quite greasy.

Chapter Ninety-One: I've never had such a smooth game before.

It definitely wasn't to see me; I must have seen someone else before, and it's obvious who that person is.

Feng Zejian sat down and quietly looked at the greasy middle-aged man opposite him.

Toyokoto Shimada deliberately adopted a superior posture, raising his head high.

Feng Zejian felt that this person was a bit childish.

Toyokoto Shimada said to himself:

"I know what you said yesterday wasn't true."

Feng Zejian nodded slightly.

"Indeed, but it could also be true. It's just a matter of a word. Or I can call and verify it."

Shimada Toyokoto's eyelids twitched, then he forced a smile.

"You should know that the age difference between you and Zhezhi is too great."

Feng Zejian frowned slightly, looking puzzled. "Is age a problem?"

Toyokoto Shimada took a deep breath.

"Putting age aside, I admit that it's your skill to get both your daughter and ex-wife to like you, but you have to choose one of them and give one up."

Feng Zejian stared in surprise, then scratched his head thoughtfully.

"not understand."

Toyokoto Shimada broke down.

"They are mother and daughter. Can't you see such a simple fact? I don't know why either of them would be interested in you."

Feng Zejian was even more puzzled.

"What do I care about their relationship? We're not related by blood."

Toyokoto Shimada was so angry that he almost had a stroke.

"If you choose Zhezhi, then Qianxia will be your stepdaughter; if you choose Qianxia, ​​then Zhezhi will be your mother-in-law."

Feng Zejian chuckled mischievously, "Doesn't that mean that if I choose Zhezhi, I can become a ghost father, and if I choose Qianxia, ​​I can experience being a beautiful mother?"
