I'll give my daughter one more second.

Yueyin pondered for a moment, then suddenly shook her head, realizing something: "That's not right either. Actually, besides Father, there's another good remedy."

Yueyin looked towards the living room door and said, "Little sister, wait here for a moment, I'll go call for reinforcements~~"

After saying that, Yueyin ran out in a flash.

"Wait a minute! If you're not here, who's going to lighten the eerie atmosphere here?"

After Tsukine left, the debate between the two sides became even more intense, threatening to reach a fever pitch. Just then, the living room door opened, and Tsukine skipped out, holding Wu Ma's hand. Hiratsuka Shizuka followed closely behind.

"Tsukine, is there something you need that made you call me back all of a sudden? I was still discussing the registration date with Teacher Heizuka," Aunt Wu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Grandma, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on." Yueyin shook Wu Ma's collar, revealing a sweet and adorable smile.

"What is it?" Aunt Wu squatted down and asked Yueyin.

Yueyin smiled and said, "Some people say they want to be Father's wife."

"What? A new daughter-in-law? Where? Where? Let me see!" Upon hearing Yueyin's words, Wu Ma's eyes lit up instantly, like a nuclear flashlight, as she kept looking around, hoping to find something.

"These are the two of them. Yui-nee and Yumiko-nee. Grandma, what do you think?" Tsukine came to Yui and Yumiko, took one of their hands, and asked them to put their hands together.

"What? It was them..." Aunt Wu pouted, looking very disappointed.

Seeing Wu Ma's reaction, Yui and Yumiko felt a pang in their hearts, their bodies slowly stiffening as if they were in the midst of the apocalypse. They thought that Wu Ma had already rejected and disgusted them.

“Yueyin, aren’t they already my daughters-in-law? I thought there were new people joining us,” Aunt Wu said matter-of-factly.

"???" Yui and Yumiko, who were already extremely disappointed, were stunned again upon hearing this, their minds momentarily unable to process it.

Wait a minute? When did our status suddenly change from "loser" to "daughter-in-law"? When was this decided? How come we didn't even know? Yui and Yumiko were completely dumbfounded.

"By the way, it's rare to have so many daughters-in-law gathered together, I must take this opportunity to treat them well. You all wait here, I'll go prepare a sumptuous welcome feast." After saying this, Aunt Wu said goodbye, leaving Hiratsuka Shizuka behind, and went to the kitchen alone.

Although Aunt Wu had left, the atmosphere in the living room eased from its previous awkwardness. Although everyone was still arguing, their tempers had cooled down. Even Yang Nai stopped arguing with Yui and the others.

"Grandma is amazing!" Yu Yin exclaimed, her mouth agape at the sudden change in the scene before her.

Chapter 1026 You Are All My Wings

"Grandma is amazing!" Yu Yin stared in disbelief at the scene before her.

"Because of Grandma's words, she has, from her personal perspective, acknowledged the legitimate status of Yui-nee and Yumiko-nee. However, this is only a temporary measure. If Father doesn't come back soon, the argument will inevitably break out again sooner or later," Tsukine explained.

"Ah... what on earth did Father go? He and Sister Zi disappeared all of a sudden... could it be that Father was kidnapped by Sister Zi?" Yu Yin asked worriedly.

"You're pretty much right. More than an hour has passed. I must say, Father is really persistent." Yueyin glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Father is very persistent? What does that have to do with kidnapping?" Yu Yin blinked, not understanding for a moment.

"Little sister, you're still quite a ways off from the level of a dancer. You need to keep working hard." Yueyin patted Yuyin's shoulder earnestly, then turned and left.

"More than an hour? Lasting?" Yu Yin tilted her head, muttering Yue Yin's words, feeling somewhat confused.

"Never mind, Grandpa always said that among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. Since Yueyin mentioned Wuyi, I'll go and ask Wuyi."

"Oh? Is there something you want to ask me?" After hearing Yu Yin's purpose, Wu Yi's small eyes narrowed into slits.

Yu Yin nodded: "There are indeed some things I'd like to ask."

"It's not that I can't help you, but I have one condition. Call me 'sister' so I can hear it." Wu Yi rubbed her palms together, looking at Yu Yin with anticipation.

"Wuyi, you're still hung up on the title 'older sister'?" Yuyin said, embarrassed.

"Of course, my biggest dream is to be everyone's older sister!"

"Little girl, just be cute and stop daydreaming all day," Yu Yin complained. "We don't even know who was born first yet. Why should I call you 'older sister'?"

"But Chie said that I will be born first in the future!"

"Never mind, I'll go ask someone else." Yu Yin said and turned to leave.

"Wait! Don't go! Let's talk this out. What exactly do you want to ask?" Even though she didn't call her "sister," Mai was quite curious that Yuyin would take the initiative to ask her something.

So Yuyin recounted the question she had just asked.

"Oh, I see. Dad and Sister Zi have been gone for over an hour and haven't come back yet, so is Dad very persistent?" Wu Yi nodded thoughtfully, then leaned close to Yu Yin's ear and whispered a few words.

Yuyin's expression was calm at first, but soon her fair face was flushed.

"W-what? Father actually went to do something like that?"

"Damn it! If I'd been lucky, Yunying might have become my older sister. What a blunder!" Mai said, clenching her little fists in frustration.

"You're focusing on the completely wrong thing!?"

"No, I need to go find Yunying and ask her to help me find my father. Oh, and I'll also call my mother over."

Not long after, Mai, along with Shiyu and Yuyin, found Yunying lying by the bed like a salted fish.

"S-What brings you all here?" Yunying asked Shiyu nervously.

"Don't be afraid, I just wanted to ask you for a favor. Wu Shenjun hasn't returned yet, and everyone is very worried. I heard from Wuyi that you could find Wu Shenjun, so I came here specifically to ask you for a favor," Shiyu said with a very kind smile.

"Looking for Dad? Isn't Dad peeking from the ceiling?" Yun Ying said, raising her head and pointing to the barely noticeable crack in the ceiling.

As soon as Yun Ying finished speaking, everyone stopped arguing and looked up at the ceiling.

"Damn it, Yun Ying, you traitor!" Wu Shen, who had been spying through the gap, immediately took a step back.

"Zi, you said your skill in using gaps was far superior to Yun Ying's? How come you were discovered so easily?"

"I didn't expect it either. She's really teachable. Maybe it's because after I confirmed my pregnancy, I strengthened Yunying's presence and made her abilities even stronger. That's why she discovered me." Zi said, stroking her lower abdomen.

"Is there really such a weird way to enhance abilities? What do we do now?" Wu Shen complained.

"What else can we do? Since we've already been discovered, we can only go out and meet them. Let's go." Zi said, naturally putting her arm around Wu Shen's shoulder.

"Stop! Wait a minute! If we go out like this, I'll definitely be attacked with firearms by everyone!" Wu Shen pointed to Zi Yi's posture as she leaned on his shoulder.

"It's alright, I'll protect you. They're no match for me."

"This isn't about protecting or not protecting! In short, I'll go out and check things out first. Don't make any rash moves, just wait for me here."

"How pointless. I even wanted to go out, only to use this kind of gesture to assert my sovereignty." Zi sighed regretfully.

Although somewhat reluctant, she released Wu Shen, widening the gap to let him out first: "Take care then, I won't see you off."

Zi smiled and unexpectedly opened a gap under Wu Shen's feet.

"Hey! Wait! I'm not mentally prepared yet..."

And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, Wu Shen jumped directly from the ceiling.

"Ahem, hello everyone..." Wu Shen stood up and waved somewhat awkwardly.

"Aren't you going to explain to us what's going on first?" Shi Yu scrutinized Wu Shen, who had suddenly appeared.

"Haha, Zi is really careless, she actually kicked me out of the hidden attic in the ceiling..."

"I'm not asking you to explain this. Don't you have anything to say to us about Yui, Yumiko, and the teacher?" Shiyu looked at Wu Shen kindly.

Wu Shen swallowed hard, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Are we going to get straight to the point right away?

"Wu Shen, you should keep your word, right?" Yui looked at Wu Shen pitifully, her eyes full of expectation.

Wu Shen: "You guys..."

Shiyu smiled: "Don't try to fool me with ambiguous statements like 'you are all my wings'."

Wu Shen: "I am the most..."

Yukino said coldly, "Even a lame excuse like 'I love everyone the most' won't do. I've never seen such a shameless person!"

Oh no, all my old tricks for coaxing people aren't working anymore! It seems like they've completely seen through my thoughts! With both of my ultimate techniques ineffective, Wu Shen was momentarily speechless.

What to do now? If I side with Yui and the others, Utaha and the others will be unhappy. But if I side with Yukino and the others, Yui and the others will be sad, and I will also be seen as untrustworthy.

We must find a way to resolve the conflict between the two sides.

In the past, the battlegrounds were all between individuals, but now they've come together as factions fighting each other—this is the first time Wu Shen has encountered such a situation.

"Did I wander onto the wrong set? This shouldn't be a palace drama, right?" Wu Shen thought to himself.

"My husband is still too inexperienced in this area. He hasn't mastered the art of seducing girls at all. There's nothing I can do; I'll have to step in and help here after all." Zi Ju, hiding in the gap, looked down at the grim scene in the living room and said leisurely.

[One more chapter in a bit 0v0]

Chapter 1027 Having a Daughter Allows One to Do Whatever One Wants

"It's really worrying; in the end, I have to take matters into my own hands."

Zi, who was still peeking at the outside situation from the gap, gave Yun Ying a look, and Yun Ying nodded in response.

"Please be patient and listen to my explanation. Here's what happened..."

Wu Shen was still considering how to explain things as concisely as possible. But just then, the figures of the lolis suddenly became blurry, faintly shimmering with a light.

"This is!" Having experienced the disappearance of her daughter, Yang Nai rarely showed a trace of unconcealed panic. She hurriedly walked over and pulled Yueyin into her arms, eager to touch her illusory body.

The others knew more or less about the disappearance phenomenon, and they all hugged their daughters tightly, while casting pleading glances at Wu Shen.

Wu Shen reacted as quickly as possible. Knowing the whole story, he was about to ask Yun Ying a question when the flashing phenomenon that alarmed everyone suddenly disappeared. It came quickly but also went quickly.

"Yun Ying, what's going on? Have you lost control of your abilities?" While everyone's attention was focused on his daughter, Wu Shen walked over and anxiously asked Yun Ying.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm not hungry right now, and my abilities haven't been activated. I just followed Mom's suggestion and temporarily added a flickering and blurring effect for everyone. It's all fake, a special effect," Yun Ying quickly explained.

"Phew... It was fake after all? Yunying, please don't play such pranks, it's bad for my heart." Wu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, his tense mood temporarily relaxed.
