I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

"Dad?" The little guy saw Lin Hezhen standing there motionless, and couldn't help but stretch out his white and tender little hands to tug at his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Lin Hezhen came back to his senses.

When he looked down, he saw Mei blinking her big black eyes and staring at him. Her eyes were so pure and innocent that his heart softened and he smiled gently.

"Just now, Dad was in a daze!" Xiao Meiyi looked puzzled, "I called you several times, but you ignored me."

Lin Hezhen was embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Meiyi, Dad was just thinking about something, let's go ride the carousel now."

Lin Hezhen finally came to his senses, and quickly gathered his thoughts, taking the little guy to the recreational facilities, enjoying this hard-earned family happiness...

"Dad, I want to ride the roller coaster!" Xiao Yayi immediately became excited when she saw the roller coaster.

Lin Hezhen immediately refused with a straight face: "You are too young to ride on something so dangerous."

"Ah~ No."

"No, it just won't work."

"Bad dad, but I can still ride the pirate ship if I want to, right?" Mei blinked her big watery eyes twice, looking pitiful.

Lin Hezhen took a look and felt that the pirate ship was still quite dangerous for a 4-year-old child, but it was much better than a roller coaster.

Moreover, if he didn't agree to Mei's request, she would definitely get angry again, so Lin Hezhen finally nodded in agreement.

"Yeahy(oωo)y, let's go ride the pirate ship!" Xiao Mei jumped excitedly towards the ticket office, waiting for the moment to board the pirate ship.

Seeing how impatient she was, Lin Hezhen even suspected that the child's original purpose was to ride a pirate ship.

She deliberately asked to ride the roller coaster because she was afraid of being rejected by the adults. After the proposal was rejected, she revealed her real purpose.

This little girl is so cunning, just like me!

Lin Hezhen couldn't help but shook his head, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and together with Sakurajima Mai, he accompanied Mei into the pirate ship.

......

The three of them were playing and laughing, having a great time.

Before they knew it, it was getting dark and the exhausted little guy fell asleep leaning on Lin Hezhen's shoulder.

In the narrow cabin of the Ferris wheel, Hayashi Kazuma was holding his daughter, and Sakurajima Mai was sitting opposite him.

She looked at her daughter's sleeping face, a hint of warmth in her eyes.

"Mai, thank you for your hard work over the years..." Lin Hezhen looked at the smiling woman opposite him and felt a little guilty.

For five years, he didn't even know his daughter existed.

It is hard to imagine what kind of life Sakurajima Mai leads with her child alone, and how the people around her view her and her daughter.

"It's not hard. I'm used to it. What's more, this is the path I chose myself. I have thought through all the consequences before, and I am willing to bear them, so you don't have to feel guilty." Sakurajima Mai responded in a low voice, raising her hand to gently stroke the loose hair on her forehead.

"I didn't want to disturb your married life, but... the only thing I didn't expect was the child's longing for fatherly love." She sighed, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

"Kazuma, can you stay with Mei and me and give the child a complete home?" Sakurajima Mai raised her head and asked seriously.

Chapter 350 I choose to have them all

"Family?"

The moment he heard this word, Lin Hezhen couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and he looked at Sakurajima Mai with an extremely complicated look.

A strange yet familiar throbbing was stirring in my mind, as if something was about to break out of the ground...

His body trembled slightly, his eyes turned red, and something in his heart was deeply touched, making it difficult for him to control himself.

"Yes, home, a home that belongs only to the three of us." Mai Sakurajima's voice became firm yet gentle, with a spark of hope flashing in her eyes.

She has waited for so long and finally got this opportunity. She will not give Kazuma any room to back down.

She must make this man accept her again, fall in love with her again, and return to her and her mother...

"But I'm already married." Lin Hezhen lowered his head and his eyes dimmed.

"You can get a divorce." Mai Sakurajima stared at him without blinking, not wanting to miss any expression on his face.

Lin Hezhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then slowly lowered his eyes.

divorce?

He had never thought about it.

"I..." Lin Kazuma looked at Sakurajima Mai, hesitating about how to put it.

Sakurajima Mai interrupted him and said, "Kazuma, don't get me wrong. I'm not forcing you. I just want to give Mei a healthy environment to grow up. The child is innocent. Do you have the heart to let her be without a father since she was a child?"

By the time she finished speaking, she was choking up.

"Of course I can't bear to part with you and Mei!" Lin Hezhen blurted out.

He has missed this child for five years and really doesn't want to miss him any more.

Lin Hezhen looked at the little girl sleeping in his arms. His expression softened and his eyes were full of love and care.

In fact, when Sakurajima Mai said the word "home", he suddenly had a strong desire to keep his daughter by his side, to take care of her, to protect her, to accompany her as she grows up, and to give her a perfect childhood.

At the same time, it is also to give himself a complete family and a peaceful life... just like what he has always longed for.

He seemed to see himself walking out of the shadows step by step, welcoming the sunshine and hope.

"Home......"

He murmured softly, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart shouting: "Promise her! Promise her quickly!"

However, he couldn't say the words of agreement - because once he agreed, it would be equivalent to giving up his wife and Hui... He couldn't be so heartless.

Perhaps she saw Lin Hezhen's hesitation, Sakurajima Mai said with tears in her eyes: "Since you can't bear to leave Mei, then stay with us, okay?"

"I know it's hard for you to give up your marriage with Kato Megumi all of a sudden. But please believe me, I will love you and treat you well with all my heart! I will use time to prove to you that I am no worse than Kato Megumi!"

Lin Hezhen was silent for a while, then looked up and met Sakurajima Mai's gaze, "I understand what you mean, but Hui needs me now..."

"My daughter and I need you too!" Mai Sakurajima's voice was low but extremely firm.

"After this lawsuit is over and Kato Megumi is rescued, you will break up with her, and then our family of three will live happily together and never separate, okay?"

Her voice was pleading, mixed with a hint of uneasiness and anxiety.

Lin Hezhen felt confused as he looked at the woman whom he had once loved and perhaps still loved deeply.

Kato Megumi is a very qualified wife, and Hayashi Kazuma has become accustomed to this marriage.

He got used to seeing that familiar face when he returned home every day, got used to hugging Hui to sleep at night, and got used to having her by his side, cooking for him, chatting and playing with him...

Habit is a terrible force. It not only changes a person's character, but also completely melts a heart, making you sink deeper and deeper, and even lose yourself.

His married life with Kato Megumi had long become a habit for him, and he even felt that once he left this family, he would never find that warmth and sense of belonging again...

However, is this feeling formed by habit really love?

Sakurajima Mai struck while the iron was hot and said, "I know that Kazuma, family is what you value most, but your family with Kato Megumi is on the verge of breaking up, isn't it?"

"Kato Megumi is facing murder charges. Even at the best outcome, she will have to spend several years in a mental hospital. Your marriage is now dead in name only. Even if you try to maintain it, you can't go back to the past."

"If you choose me and Mei, things will be different. You will immediately get a complete and happy family. Isn't such happiness worth cherishing?"

"You want a happy family and a wife who loves you, and that person doesn't necessarily have to be Kato Megumi, right?" Sakurajima Mai's voice was full of earnestness and expectation.

Hearing this, Lin Hezhen fell into deep thought.

All I want is a happy family. As for who my family and wife are, it doesn’t matter at all. Can I change them at any time?

The question is, can Kato Megumi be replaced by just anyone?

Hayasaka Ai, Eriri, Yukinoshita and the others, can they also be replaced by anyone?

That’s not right, how can that be possible?

What I desire is not this kind of false thing!

My feelings towards you all are definitely not fake things that can be replaced by anyone!

Thinking of this, Lin Hezhen raised his head, the inner entanglement and struggle slowly dissipated, and he revealed a relieved smile.

"Mai, I once asked myself a question - who do I love, my wife or Kato Megumi? Now, I have the answer."

"Could it be..." Sakurajima Mai had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"What I love is Kato Megumi," Lin Kazuma said calmly.

Sakurajima Mai was stunned and her face turned pale: "So, you want to give up me and Mei and choose her?"

Mai Sakurajima swayed a few times and almost fell down.

Lin Hezhen quickly reached out to support her and shook his head, "No, I will not give up Hui, nor will I give up you and Mei."

"What do you mean?" Sakurajima Mai was a little confused.

Lin Hezhen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled: "In short, I choose to take them all!"

"Huh?" Mai Sakurajima's eyes widened, with an expression of shock and disbelief on her face: "All?"

"That's right," Lin Hezhen nodded heavily, "Whether it's Hui or you and my daughter, I want them all, no one can be left behind!"

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you are saying?" Mai Sakurajima screamed.

This is simply nonsense!

"No, I'm not crazy, I'm serious." Lin Hezhen said firmly, "I love Hui, this fact cannot be changed. But I also love you and our child!"

"Since no one can give up, I can only choose to take them all!" His tone was extremely firm.

Chapter 351: In order to stop regretting

"All of them..."

Mai Sakurajima was stunned for a long while before she realized what Lin Hezhen meant, and her eyes widened.

"You mean... you want to have a harem in modern society?!" Sakurajima Mai was so shocked that she was incoherent.

"I just want everyone to be happy." Lin Hezhen said lightly.

Make everyone happy?

Does he know what he is talking about?

This is a crime!

Sakurajima Mai stood there blankly, her lips trembling. She pushed Lin Hezhen's hand away and shouted angrily, "Lin Hezhen, don't be so greedy!"

"No, this is not greed, this is a promise to you!" Lin He said sincerely.

"promise?"

"Yes, I love you and Mei, and I love Hui too, so I will do my best to make you both happy." Lin Kazuma said solemnly.

"What do you think you are doing?" Mai Sakurajima was so angry that she almost laughed.

Lin Hezhen faced her oppressive gaze and spoke bluntly, just like he did before with Kato Megumi.

"I know, that's why I choose to have it all. Although what I am going to do may seem crazy in this era, it is my most sincere voice."

"You are all the most precious treasures in my life, so I want to be with you and make everyone happy. Even if this road is difficult, I will do my best to persevere to the end, no matter how much it costs, even if it means sacrificing my life, I will not hesitate!"

"I love Hui, but I also love you, Mai. Please believe me, I will never let you down!"

There was deep sincerity in Lin Hezhen's eyes.

His words completely confused Mai Sakurajima.

"You...you are such a bastard!" Mai Sakurajima said gritting her teeth.

"I know this is ridiculous, but I have to do it!" Lin Hezhen did not back down, "Mai, are you willing to give me a chance? I swear, I will make you happy, and I will do my best to be good to Mei, protect her, take care of her, love her, and give her everything I can give."

Looking at the unquestionable determination in Lin Hezhen's eyes, Sakurajima Mai understood that he was serious.

"What if... I don't agree?" she asked, biting her lip.

"Then there's nothing I can do..." Lin Hezhen shrugged, revealing a regretful expression, "Then I will have no choice but to take Mei back home and let her be raised by me, her biological father, until her mother is willing to accept me."

"You are so despicable! How can you use a child to threaten me?" Sakurajima Mai was so angry that her chest heaved rapidly.

Lin Hezhen said calmly, "How can this be considered a threat? I am Mei's biological father. Isn't it my duty to raise her? Besides, Mei, you don't want your daughter to be without a father, right? Otherwise, why would you bring me to see her today?"
