My wife believes me; how could I be a cuckold?

Yuna Kanno is very smart. She saw early on that the twisted relationship between herself and Makoto Asano was essentially based on mutual threats.

She previously extorted money from Makoto Asano on the train. Given the overwhelming evidence, she would definitely be sent to prison and spend several years there.

As for the things Asano Makoto threatened her to do to her... there's not much to say about that. If he doesn't get ten or eight years in prison after being arrested, then God is blind.

In other words, the two of them are now in the same boat, bound by a shared destiny.

If either party dares to report it, the other party will definitely not be able to escape unscathed.

So even if their relationship eventually breaks down, they will try their best to maintain this twisted relationship.

However, overall, Makoto Asano's problem is more serious.

Therefore, in this "game" with Yuna Kanno, he is the weaker party, and he should be more worried about the breakdown of their relationship.

Even so, he felt no tension or fear whatsoever.

As mentioned before, he knew very well that Yuna Kanno was only saying these things to hint at him, or rather, she was hoping to force him to agree to her demands through this method.

Even if he didn't agree, Yuna Kanno would never dare to bring herself to report him.

After all, she still has such a big "burden" like Risa Kanno behind her. She can't ignore her mother's feelings and be sent to prison at such a young age to stay for several years, thus ruining her future.

Therefore, Makoto Asano naturally had nothing to worry about.

Therefore, after hearing Yuna Kamino's obviously suggestive words, he did not react in any particular way, but simply watched Yuna Kamino in a completely different state than before.

At this moment, Yuna Kanno had a very sunny smile on her face.

However, in Makoto Asano's eyes, the smile was as cunning as a little devil's smirk.

At the same time, her face also concealed a barely perceptible tension, and... the determination of someone who had burned their bridges.

Perhaps it was a subconscious fear of Makoto Asano, or simply the intense pressure she felt from his scrutinizing gaze, but Yuna Kanno suddenly felt a surge of panic, and even cold sweat began to seep from her back.

Because she was too nervous, she subconsciously explained, "Master, just like I said before, I am not jealous of Ms. Miyajima Eriko, because I know that you have feelings for her, which was bound to happen sooner or later, so I was actually prepared for it."

"I don't have any other requests... I just hope that you can inform me in advance in the future, so that I can be mentally prepared when I discover these things."

In the very end, Yuna Kanno couldn't help but back down.

Even though she had become a little stronger this time because of the strong sense of crisis that she might be abandoned by Makoto Asano, she still subconsciously lowered her position when facing Makoto Asano.

It's hard to say whether this is due to her subservience being at its maximum, but overall, she's still that little pet who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

But none of that matters now, because she has already taken that step, and that alone is a huge step forward.

And her efforts did indeed pay off.

Asano Makoto sighed, a somewhat helpless expression on his face, and said, "Alright, you win this time—I agree."

The moment those words were spoken, Makoto Asano heard the notification sounds in his mind: "[Stage Quest 3 Completed, Rewards Issued]" and "[Series Quest Completed]".

Hearing the notification sound, he finally couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate for his choice.

He could indeed continue to refuse and then order Yuna Kanno to stop pursuing the matter, or think of some other way to gloss over it.

He only needed to be a little more forceful in his tone to make Yuna Kanno back down.

But as he said before, he loves Yuna, and his love for Yuna is equal to his love for Eriko.

He wanted to establish a relationship with Yuna Kanno that was as equal as possible, so he didn't want to do that.

And frankly speaking, he only agreed to Yuna Kanno's request; it doesn't mean he has to do what she asks.

Who he reveals and what he reveals will depend entirely on his words.

Of course, he couldn't keep everything to himself like before. There were some things, such as those related to Eriko Miyajima, that he could still tell Yuna Kanno about and discuss with her.

Since it's already been discovered, even if we recklessly reveal more, the situation won't get any worse than it is now.

However, there are certain things that Makoto Asano would never say, such as those related to her mother, Risa Kanno.

In short, he had his own ideas.

If we agree now, not only will we be able to solve this problem and appease Yuna Kanno so she can complete her mission, but we also won't have to worry about her causing any problems in the future. Why not do it?

Chapter 189 I Want You (3k)

After Makoto Asano gave an affirmative answer, Yuna Kanno was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously held her breath, as if she had not expected the outcome to be like this.

The master said, "I won?"

Promise me?

What does it mean?

The master actually agreed?

The thought that Asano Makoto had actually accepted her outlandish request made Jinno Yuna, who had snapped out of her daze, feel a surge of excitement, and even her face flushed.

In fact, although she had been determined to make some changes, she never thought her plan would succeed from the beginning.

Because she knew that this request was indeed a bit too much.

What kind of "pet" demands that its owner report its whereabouts?

Let alone agreeing, Asano Makoto might punish her for this, or even simply throw her away as his disobedient pet.

Of course, because he felt guilty for doing something wrong, Makoto Asano would most likely not do something so heartless, but he certainly wouldn't agree to it either.

No matter how I think about it, it won't happen.

Therefore, from the beginning, Yuna Kanno did not expect Makoto Asano to grant her request; she simply wanted to take this opportunity to make her real request.

Although she had never heard Lu Xun say those things, the simple principle of compromise is something almost everyone knows.

Therefore, she never thought that Makoto Asano would actually agree to her request.

As expected, my master is a very gentle person...

After confirming that she wasn't dreaming, Yuna Kanno couldn't help but think this.

However, the fact that the master is a bastard and a pervert will never change.

I don't know if falling for him and staying by his side is the right decision...

Despite still having some doubts, Yuna Kanno was no longer willing to think about them.

Excited, she reached out and hugged him tightly again so that Asano Makoto wouldn't notice her unusual behavior. She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and pressed her face against his chest, feeling only joy and peace in her heart.

What's remarkable is that even though Makoto Asano had already decided to stop treating Yuna Kanno as a pet and was preparing to rebuild an equal relationship with her, she herself humbled herself immensely and was willing to continue being Makoto Asano's bitch.

She was overjoyed simply because she received a promise from Makoto Asano that he didn't even know if it would come true.

I wonder what kind of expression she'll have when she learns what Makoto Asano really thinks.

But it's too late to talk about these things now.

Because she had already made her choice, and Makoto Asano accepted it.

So even though Makoto Asano himself no longer wanted to treat her like a pet, the master-servant relationship between the two was still definitively established.

However, at least for now, both of them are satisfied with the result.

Makoto Asano managed to appease Yuna Kanno, who was on the verge of leaving, thus averting the crisis and successfully completing his mission.

Yuna Kanno received a promise from Makoto Asano, thus fulfilling her wish to become the master's "manager".

Both of them got what they wanted, so it was a win-win situation.

"Master, thank you..."

After being hugged back by Yuna Kanno without saying a word, Makoto Asano was only slightly taken aback before reaching out and hugging her back as well.

He knew that Yuna Kanno's emotions were not stable enough at the moment, and there were some things that were difficult to say.

To put it simply, it's about her request from earlier.

Although Yuna Kanno's previous statement was "to inform her in advance so that she can be mentally prepared" and "maybe I can even help her a little," Makoto Asano thought that as long as she didn't cause trouble, he would be lucky.

There's no doubt she's capable of such a thing; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to tease Asano Makoto under the table with her foot during lunch at Miyajima Eriko's house that day.

I don't know what's wrong with her. She's not stupid at all; in fact, she's quite smart. But sometimes she seems to be a bit slow on the uptake and always manages to do things that are completely unexpected.

So Asano Seiichi had to give her a few more instructions later, telling her not to meddle and to just observe from the sidelines after understanding the situation.

But now is not the time; we need to wait until she calms down before discussing the important matters.

Moreover, this time cannot be too long.

After all, Eriko Miyajima was still waiting at home, while he and Yuna Kanno were right at their doorstep.

What if Eriko doesn't listen to him and suddenly runs out...

He couldn't even bear to think about that scene.

Moreover, he really didn't want to have to coax Eriko again after just coaxing Yuna Kanno. His emotions were like a rollercoaster, which was too exhausting.

Fortunately, Yuna Kanno has really changed a lot now, and she didn't keep Makoto Asano waiting for long. After hugging for a while, she leaned against Makoto Asano's chest, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Master, thank you."

Although he didn't know why she wasn't angry and even thanked him, or why she thanked him, Asano Makoto subconsciously responded, "Mm."

After saying this, neither of them spoke again.

About two minutes later, Yuna Kanno took the initiative to let go of Asano Makoto's hand and left his embrace.

She raised her head and looked directly into Makoto Asano's eyes.

However, after only a few seconds of eye contact, she suddenly blushed and lowered her head, leaving Asano Makoto somewhat confused.

Just as he was about to ask, Yuna Kamino spoke first, "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't mean to threaten you..."

Hearing her barely audible and somewhat hesitant words, Asano Makoto finally understood the reason.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly, then shook his head and replied with the words that Yuna Kamino had said before: "It's okay. Didn't you say that I threatened you before, so we're even now."

Realizing that Makoto Asano was teasing her, Yuna Kanno's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head even further, as if she dared not meet Makoto Asano's gaze.

Looking at her like this, Makoto Asano suddenly realized how cute she was and couldn't help but feel a tickle in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, and thinking that it shouldn't be a problem to spend a little time on this, Makoto Asano reached out and cupped Yuna Kanno's head in his hands, gently lifting it up.

He followed Yuna Kanno's gaze, which she instinctively looked away from, and stared at her for a moment before slowly lowering his head to kiss her lips.
