I'll give my daughter one more second.

As long as it's not just a dream, that's fine. After all, Wu Shen promised them some things in the dream. With this evidence, Wu Shen can't deny it.

"I don't know what you're talking about. You haven't answered our questions yet. How do you know about our daughter?" Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Shi Yu stopped trying to cover it up and decided to investigate the source of the matter further.

"Wu Shen told me this in my dream last night. You can ask Wu Shen for details," Yui replied happily.

"Wu Shenjun? In my dream?" Shi Yu was completely bewildered.

Because of Wu Shen's ability to make anyone he glares at pregnant, Shi Yu and the others have always kept a close eye on Wu Shen's relationships with other girls.

I thought I could finally relax, but you're telling me he can actually flirt with girls in his dreams? And he flirts with three girls at once?!

Not only were there obvious shady dealings between Yui and Miura, but even though Shizuka-sensei was very secretive and had the excuse of a home visit, a woman's intuition can be terrifying.

Ms. Hiratsuka seemed perfectly normal, maintaining a typical teacher-student relationship with Wu Shen, and her demeanor and words showed no flaws. However, the growing sense of crisis within her wouldn't deceive Utaha and Yukino.

"A dream? I see, so it's the dream that Tsukine told me about?"

Everyone was completely bewildered by what Miura and Yui said, except for Haruno, who had a look of sudden realization on her face.

Before coming, Tsukine had already told Hinata the whole story.

"Sister, you seem to know something."

“I do know what dreams are all about. But I only heard about them from Tsukine. Who knows, maybe your ‘daughter’ knows something too?” Yang said with a squinting smile.

This is Haruno officially acknowledging her daughter in front of her sister, showing that she no longer intends to hide it from Yukino.

Although the sisters had a vague understanding of the truth before, it was a tacit understanding that they didn't expose each other. But after today, the situation has completely changed.

"My daughter... Yuyin, do you know something about dreams?"

"It's like this..." Amane leaned close to Yukino's ear and whispered something.

No one knew anything about the dream from Ziling. Although the specific content of the dream was unclear, the dream itself could still be explained to some extent.

"My dear Mai, do you understand dreams?" Seeing Yukino's attentive expression, Utaha lowered her head to ask Mai, who was sitting in her lap.

"Hmph, Mom, who do you think I am! Of course I know!" Wuyi proudly raised her head and punched her little chest, then pounced into Shiyu's arms and began to explain in a low voice with great interest.

Shiwa's expression changed constantly as Mai described it, first with sudden realization, then with astonishment, and then she looked up at Miura with a victor's smile.

"Chie, what exactly is going on?"

"Night Song, what happened?"

Others, seeing this, followed suit, seeking information about dreams from their daughters.

“We have a general understanding of the dream. But I never imagined we were competitors. How rude of me. How should I address you, my defeated opponent, Ms. Miura?” Shiyu smiled as she looked at Miura.

"Damn it, judging from your expression and the way you addressed me just now, has the truth already been revealed? I didn't expect your daughter to know so much." Miura looked at the little girl in Shiyu's arms with envy.

"I never imagined I'd be competing with you in the future. But it was so predictable, not exciting or thrilling at all. Competing with you would be a beginner's challenge."

"Uh!" Yumiko looked unwilling and wanted to refute, but she couldn't refute the fact that she had lost in the future. All she could do was keep staring at Shiyu with her sharp little eyes.

"Don't be too happy yet. In the dream, Wu Shen already made promises to me and Yui."

“But you don’t have a daughter,” Shiyu said with a smile.

"I haven't completely lost yet. I've gained memories of the future; I have my advantages!"

“But you don’t have a daughter.” Shi Yu smiled again.

"My daughter isn't important. As long as Wu Shen keeps his promise, I haven't lost yet!"

“But you don’t have a daughter,” Shiyu continued to smile.

"Aaaaah!!" Yumiko was completely defeated, and the outcome of the first round was obvious.

"Yui, so you also... cough cough, do you like Wu Shen?" Yukino asked after hesitating for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Yukino. I don't want to compete with my friend for anything. But I really can't let him go. Even though I lost last round, I will definitely not give up this time!" Yui turned her head away, somewhat unable to meet Yukino's gaze.

"Is that so? I don't know what sweet talk Wu Shen used to win you over, sigh..."

"It has nothing to do with Wu Shen. Wu Shen was actually quite devoted to his wife, and he didn't do anything to me this time. It was only because I gained future memories that..."

"Alright, stop trying to explain. What do you mean by 'devoted'? That guy is a demon king. Once he sets his sights on you, there's no escaping him. He's such a worry." Yukino looked around and sighed deeply.

"A winner in life, a loser? What's going on? Does that mean I have a competitor among the other possibilities? Is that right, Chie? Who is my competitor?" Nanami asked curiously.

"Mom's rivals include Yukino-neechan, Utaha-neechan, Mashiro-neechan..." Chie honestly counted them on her fingers.

"Stop, stop, stop! Utaha corresponds to Yumiko, Yukino corresponds to Yui, why do I have so many competitors?"

"That's because Mom and Dad being together is something that happens in this world. The future I live in is a future where everyone is together."

"Even though I already knew about this, it still feels so strange," Nanami said, patting Chie's head.

Nanami realized that her situation was quite special. She didn't have a specific "loser" or a daughter as a cheat code. She had fought her way out of this world all by herself.

To be honest, it was only Wu Shen's parents who provided some assistance.

"Xiao Jing? I actually competed with Xiao Jing? Speaking of other possibilities, I actually actively pursued Wu Shen? You're not kidding me again, are you, Yueyin?"

"What's there to be fooled about? In this world, doesn't Mother also take the initiative?"

"That's different. This time, I only went with Wu Shen to clean up the mess you left behind..."

"Pfft, Mother is still not frank at all."

"Uh..." Yang Nai once again felt that she was truly being completely restrained by her daughter.

Chapter 1025 The Chosen Daughter-in-Law

“Although we lost to you last time, this time is different. Wu Shen promised to give us an explanation!” Yumiko said, pulling Yui to her side.

"Is it just an explanation? Wu Shenjun might just be politely rejecting you, you know?" Shi Yu retorted without holding back.

"Impossible! I know Wu Shen. If he really wanted to refuse, he would have said it directly and wouldn't have dragged it out!" Yui looked firmly at everyone opposite her.

"How can you be so sure it's like this?" Yang Nai squinted, her thoughts unreadable.

"..." Yui lowered her head, looking somewhat hesitant.

"What? Can't you say it?"

"The reason I understand why Wu Shen would do this is because I've experienced it firsthand!" Yui seemed to have made up her mind, raising her head to look directly at Yang Nai.

"As someone who has been rejected before, I know all too well how Wu Shen would reject someone!" As Yui said this, a future memory of being rejected flashed through her mind, and a slightly painful expression appeared on her face.

"Wu Shen, if you really hate someone, or really want to reject someone, you will never hesitate, you will never drag things out, and you will never give me any false hope. You will tell me clearly that you don't like me and that you can't be with me!"

The memory of Wu Shen's decisive rejection when she confessed her feelings still echoed in her ears.

"You seem to know a lot about this... But haven't you considered other possibilities? Could it be that you're blackmailing him, or playing the victim to gain sympathy?"

Why would you think that?

“Because you don’t interact much with each other, even if you have real feelings for Wu Shen, can Wu Shen fall in love with someone so quickly? You’re not just satisfied with a little pity, are you?” Yang Nai sighed softly, rested her chin on her hands, and said with a smile.

"!!!"

Yui and Miura fell silent for a moment. They were so absorbed in the joy of Wu Shen's promise in their dream that they hadn't had time to think too deeply about it.

Or perhaps they instinctively avoid this possibility subconsciously.

"Mother, I really don't understand you. You're so charming and shrewd in public, and your acting skills make everyone fawn over you. But why do you always act like a villain when you're with your family?" Tsukine asked, looking puzzled, as she walked up to Haruno.

"Don't you think it's even more pathetic to have to pretend in front of your family? That's a principle your father taught me."

"But Mother's words are a bit too much. Does Mother not understand the art of speaking at all? Sigh, I really worry about Mother's future business development." Yueyin looked worried.

"Forehead……"

"Am I even your real mother?! Tsukine, why are you always siding with outsiders?!" Yang Nai was speechless. "I was clearly trying to undermine the competition and prevent a situation where there are too many applicants for too few positions!"

"Too many monks and not enough porridge?" Ye Ge blinked in confusion.

"Yago, you don't understand. What Yangnai means is that 'monk' in 'monk' refers to our mothers, and 'porridge' is white and sticky, you know what I mean. So, if there are many mothers, then naturally there will be many more 'porridge' for fathers..."

"Ahhhhh!!" Nanami blushed, put one arm around Chie, and covered Mai's mouth with the other.

"Nanami, don't do anything too outrageous to my daughter. But you can cover her mouth if you want~" Utaha reminded her.

"Then don't let your dancing lead everyone astray. I have serious doubts about your teaching methods," Nanami rebuked righteously.

"It's alright. We can have a more in-depth discussion about this kind of experience later." Shi Yu smiled sweetly.

"No need!"

Nanami fled in a panic, returned to her seat, and hugged Chie tightly.

Nanami thought to herself that she must keep a close eye on Chie and make sure she doesn't become filthy.

"In short, this is my opinion. Wu Shen's promises were most likely made out of his sympathy or pity. Your silence only proves that this is probably the case," Yang Nai shrugged.

"If you're only talking about us, what about you? Aren't you using your daughter to hold Wu Shen's feelings hostage?" Seeing that Yui was speechless, Yumiko stepped forward and asked.

"Don't think you can bully Yui just because she's kind. I'm here for you!" Yumiko protected Yui, her gaze fixed on Haruno without flinching.

"You've got it backwards, haven't you? The appearance of our daughter proves that we were always capable of developing feelings for Wu Shen. The daughter's existence is just to make the second playthrough progress faster and simpler."

"Pfft, Mother was just saying that even if she died, even if she jumped off a cliff, she could never love Father. Now it seems she's overflowing with love, isn't she?" Yueyin continued to tease her with a mischievous smile.

"..." Yang Nai was choked by Yueyin's words and stammered again.

"Sister Yueyin, can't we think of a solution? There's no need for things to get so tense." Just then, Yuyin leaned close to Yueyin's ear and whispered.

"Sigh, with Mother's wicked and perverse personality, only Father can keep her in check. I wonder how long it will be before he comes back."
