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

On the other side, after hearing her daughter's words, Risa Kanno pondered for a while with a conflicted expression.

She then nodded, as if making a decision, and said in a somewhat tragic tone, "Then you guys come in and sit for a while. I'll go tidy up, and then we'll go out... go out for dinner tonight."

As an elder, it's the first time meeting your daughter's boyfriend, and he hasn't eaten yet. So, inviting him to a meal and taking the opportunity to learn more about him is naturally a very important thing.

However, she can't cook, so she can only eat out.

To be honest, she was actually a little reluctant to spend the money.

After all, if you're going to invite someone out to dinner, especially your daughter's boyfriend, you can't appear too stingy.

But we don't have much money left at home. If we invite Asano-kun out to dinner now, our debts for the month will...

Thinking of this, Risa Kanno immediately shook her head, putting the idea out of her mind.

Risa Kanno, Risa Kanno, how could you have such thoughts? This is a matter of great importance concerning your daughter's happiness!

Compared to my daughter's love life, what is a meal?

If your daughter is looked down upon or even dumped by her boyfriend because you act too shabby, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life.

Young people these days are like this: as soon as they find out that their partner has no money or even that their family is in debt, they will immediately abandon them!

Risa Kanno, you absolutely cannot let your daughter experience such a tragedy!

Having never been in a relationship, Ms. Risa Kanno, relying on her views on love shaped by the plots of those old, third-rate romance manga she read in her youth, has drawn this conclusion that is completely out of touch with reality.

第86章 池田香奈（2/3）（加更3/14）

After making up her mind, Risa Kanno invited the two into the living room, and then went into the bedroom to start tidying up.

She had to get her hidden stash of money, otherwise she might not have enough left to pay for dinner.

On the other side, after thinking for a while, Makoto Asano decided to change into his indoor shoes and walk into the living room.

Actually, his original plan was to say goodbye after greeting everyone.

However, he was also worried that after he left, Yuna Kanno might let something slip under her mother's questioning, so he decided to stay and observe for a while.

Just then, Risa Kanno suggested going out for dinner, so Makoto Asano decided to wait until after dinner before leaving.

Because he planned to make up a lie for Yuna Kanno at the dinner table to help her deceive Risa Kanno.

He did this for his own sake, and it was just the cost of a meal anyway, which wasn't something he couldn't afford.

So after receiving Risa Kanno's invitation, he hesitated for a moment before changing his shoes and walking into the living room, where he began to look around.

This room was roughly the same as the one he had seen in Yuna Kanno's dream.

However, compared to then, the house seemed to be missing a lot of things, such as the television, the sofa, and many other things.

It was probably smashed or sold by Yuna's father...

Thinking this, Makoto Asano stopped observing and sat down in the chair that Risa Kanno had just sat in, then turned to look at Yuna Kanno sitting in another chair.

At this moment, she was looking down nervously, not daring to look up at Asano Makoto.

This is as if the person who was taken home by their boyfriend today and ended up bumping into his mother wasn't Makoto Asano, but her.

Seeing her reserved demeanor, Makoto Asano shrugged and gave up on his plan to chat.

Since they were at Yuna Kamino's house, he couldn't be too presumptuous.

After sitting there for a while, feeling a bit bored, he turned around and looked around. Then he picked up a magazine that was lying next to him and glanced at the cover.

Clearly, this is a women's fashion magazine, as the cover features numerous photos of women's clothing.

It must be Risa's book... The clothes are quite nice, the models are great, all tall with long legs and pretty faces.

Asano Makoto casually flipped through the magazine, mentally commenting on the models.

However, before he could even turn a few pages, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he slowly turned the magazine to the next page.

On this page of the magazine, there is a photo of a model wearing a mask. She is tall and well-proportioned with long, straight legs and long gray hair tied in a high ponytail that reaches her waist.

She wore a white sweatshirt jacket on top, and light blue jeans and white sneakers on the bottom.

Despite being dressed like a girl next door, her eyes, which were visible through her mask and staring directly at the camera, subtly revealed a hint of aloofness.

He suddenly froze because he actually knew this person.

Or perhaps he had seen those eyes somewhere before and remembered them vividly.

The reason he turned back was precisely because the model was wearing a mask, with only her eyes showing on her face. So he immediately noticed those very special and incredibly familiar eyes.

He had just been looking at the photos casually, and the model in the photo was dressed very conservatively, so he assumed it was just a stranger and accidentally turned an extra page.

After carefully examining the photos, Makoto Asano looked at the bottom right corner of the magazine page.

There was a few lines of small print that briefly described some information about the model.

Stage name: Kana Ikeda

Age: 20 years old

Height: 172CM

Weight: 55KG

Profile: Kana Ikeda was born in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and is affiliated with Kuroda's agency.

Key personal experiences:

1. In her second year of junior high school, she was discovered by a talent scout from Kuroda's agency and became a model, part-time idol, singer, and actress under the agency.

2. Last year, I participated in the model selection competition held by this fashion magazine and won the championship, becoming an exclusive model for this magazine.

3.…

……

After quickly reviewing the information, Makoto Asano turned to his phone and searched for the stage name "Kana Ikeda".

Soon, the search engine displayed several results.

After a quick browse, Makoto Asano was surprised to find that Kana Ikeda even had her own personal encyclopedia page, though it wasn't very popular or had many views.

With a touch of curiosity, he clicked into the webpage and began to examine it carefully.

The information on a personal encyclopedia is significantly more detailed than the brief introduction in a magazine.

The document not only includes Kana Ikeda's personal information, life story, and awards, but also lists several works she has participated in the production of.

While they call them works, they are really just two popular songs that aren't particularly popular and a little-known web series.

Moreover, the song and TV series were both produced and released a year ago, and there has been no news about them since then.

In addition, her personal Wikipedia page also contains several sets of her photos.

Makoto Asano admired her carefully for a while and realized that she was not the kind of model who took a borderline or erotic route, but a proper fashion model.

Because in the photo, she was not only dressed very warmly, but also wearing a mask, only revealing half of her face.

But Makoto Asano recognized her by her distinctive eyes; the model named Kana Ikeda was indeed the person he knew.

In general, Kana Ikeda, or rather, Yuuka Konno, is a model who has some popularity, but not a very high level of popularity.

Moreover, compared to her other identities as an idol, singer, and actress, which seem like bonuses, her identity as a model is obviously much more valuable.

Those two songs and that web series were clearly attempts by her agency, Kuroda, to broaden her acting career after she won that model selection competition last year.

However, it is obvious that these attempts all failed.

Kuroda's agency must have abandoned the idea very decisively after the failure, letting Konno Yuuka continue to follow her modeling career. Otherwise, she wouldn't have remained silent for a year after releasing her song and acting in the drama.

Although she has done quite well in her modeling career, and has participated in many competitions and won many awards.

However, because the modeling industry is very small, her career has been rather lukewarm.

Just as Makoto Asano finished reading Konno Yuuka's personal information, scrolled up a few steps to the section on her personal works, and was about to click on the link to listen to the two songs, he was...

He suddenly heard the sound of a lock turning on the door.

Yuna Kanno, who was sitting in the chair next to him, naturally heard the door open as well.

However, unlike Makoto Asano, whose face was full of curiosity, Yuna Kanno's face showed a very obvious expression of fear and hatred.

Moreover, this expression was even more somber than the one Asano Makoto wore after forcing her to do various things she didn't like.

Seeing her like this, even without thinking, Asano Makoto immediately realized who was standing outside the door.

Chapter 87 "God of Gamblers" Hiroki Kanno

Hiroki Kanno was walking home. He had recently lost all his money and was kicked out of the casino, and he was feeling quite irritable.

It has been almost five months since his colleague took him to the casino, where he lost all his and his family's savings and incurred a high-interest loan from a triad boss.

Five months is a long time, enough for many things to change.

For example, turning a happy middle-aged person with a career and family into an unemployed person with nearly 6000 million yen in debt.

Actually, he didn't owe that much at first; it was only 1000 million yen.

However, as time went on, the high interest rates, coupled with several subsequent loans, caused his debt to grow larger and larger.

If you were to ask Hiroki Kanno if he regrets it, the answer would definitely be yes.

After all, losing a job, losing so much money, and even incurring a debt that may never be repaid in a lifetime, how could anyone not feel regret?

But if you ask him whether he wants to continue gambling, his answer is also yes.

From the moment he won his first sum of money at the casino, he became completely addicted to gambling.

Things related to money are always easy to become addictive, especially when large sums of yen are flowing into your pocket like a gust of wind.

When Hiroki Kanno entered a casino for the first time in his life, he won his first sum of money with the 10 yen he brought with him.

He remembered the amount of money very clearly; it was exactly 352 million yen.
