I'll give my daughter one more second.

"I'm sorry, Mom said this will help everyone calm down. That way, Dad can explain everything in a more relaxed manner."

"Really?" Wu Shen turned to look at Shi Yu and the others, and found that they were indeed asking about their daughters' condition with worried expressions. Some of them even started to take off their daughters' clothes to check if anything was wrong.

"The effect is indeed remarkable, but you must never do things that make others worry again, understand?" Wu Shen instructed.

"Yes, I'll listen to Daddy." The obedient Yunying nodded.

"Wu Shen, what exactly happened? Why did they suddenly become like this?" Qi Hai asked anxiously as he walked up.

Chie and Nanami had not experienced the phenomenon of disappearing much before. Compared to the others who were encountering such an event for the first time, Nanami seemed the most flustered.

"I've just figured out the cause and effect of my daughter's disappearance. In fact, Yui and the others are also involved. The situation is urgent, so could you please calm down and patiently listen to my explanation?" Wu Shen seized the opportunity to say.

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.

The daughter's situation was clearly infinitely more important than the debate over who was the "loser" and who was the "winner in life." Because of the sudden incident, no one cared about those trivial matters anymore, as the previous conflicts had been overshadowed.

So Wu Shen explained the whole story to everyone present—from Yun Ying's birth to the end of the dream this morning.

"In short, that's how it is." Wu Shen concluded his long explanation with this sentence.

"..." After hearing this, everyone was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

"Ahem, well... does anyone have anything to say?" The silence was incredibly awkward, so Wu Shen tentatively asked.

"There's just too much information, and it's incredibly convoluted. I haven't even sorted out the whole story yet. My only thought right now is, if this is just an excuse you made up to fool us, Wu Shen, then you really have a talent for storytelling. Come and learn to write novels with me." Shi Yu rested her chin on her hands, revealing a helpless, bitter smile.

"Shiyu, this is a true story that happened between us!" Wu Shen complained.

"It feels a bit detached from reality... But even something as absurd as my daughter traveling from the future has happened, so I can only accept other things no matter how bizarre they are. After all, if I stubbornly deny these bizarre things, it's the same as denying Amane." Yukino sighed deeply.

"Yege, how much of what your husband said just now did you write down? We won't have to worry about comic material anymore."

"Mom, perfect record." Ye Ge gave a thumbs up.

Why are you all so seriously discussing comic book material on such a serious topic? Wu Shen was embarrassed.

"Nanami, Nanami?" Wu Shen looked at Nanami and found that she seemed to be staring blankly ahead, without any reaction.

"Dad, Mom just had a brain freeze. Let her rest for a while."

"I'm sorry, we were too presumptuous just now. We thought that having a daughter meant we could do whatever we wanted. We didn't realize that we were all carrying such a heavy burden." Yui and Yumiko bowed and apologized.

"There's no need to apologize for this. There are risks with rewards, isn't that normal? Besides, you're actually right, having a daughter does allow you to do whatever you want." Shi Yu laughed and picked up Xiao Wuyi to show off again.

"Ugh! I shouldn't have apologized to you cheat-like scientists! I take back what I just said!"

"Weiling, I didn't expect there to be so many things going on. So, the so-called dream was all orchestrated by Yunying? Speaking of which, who's the loser in my route?"

"Mother Zi, cough cough... Sister Zi, right?" Wei Ling thought for a moment and then said, "I might have misunderstood something. Although Mother's route itself doesn't have a 'loser' option, if Father didn't end up with Sister Zi among the many possibilities, he would most likely choose the fiancée route. At least that's how I've observed it."

“As Tsukine kept reincarnating, I also tried to achieve a happy ending by changing some variables. One of the variables I changed was my father’s fiancée in each reincarnation. But in the end, I found that my mother had to appear in person,” Misuzu explained.

Come to think of it, Yueyin mentioned that even though she didn't interfere in anything, her fiancée's partner changed almost every time she was reincarnated. Was it Weiling's doing? Wu Shen thought to himself.

Everyone started talking again, one after another, except for Hiratsuka Shizuka and Eriri, who still looked completely bewildered.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was bewildered because she hadn't participated in the rooftop gathering in her last dream and knew almost nothing about it. Therefore, she simply didn't have time to process this overwhelming amount of information.

Eriri, an ecchi manga artist, had always thought that the idea of ​​having a daughter was nonsense. Suddenly being bombarded with so much information in a serious manner, she began to escape reality.

Ah ha, I knew what despicable tricks Wu Shen used! So that's how it is!

Damn it, if that little loli named Yun Ying sends my daughter over too, am I supposed to just give in too?! Wu Shen is absolutely terrifying!

[Something really embarrassing happened. I actually finished writing the second chapter around 5 PM, and was just about to post it when my takeout arrived. I ate it, and then, for some reason, I thought I had already posted it, so I went to watch Kamen Rider. Before going to bed, I wanted to check the comments, only to realize I hadn't posted it that afternoon… As compensation, I'll write another chapter late at night, lol.]

Chapter 1028 Of course, the choice is not to forgive him.

"So that's how it is. So all of this is related to Yun Ying?"

The crowd murmured among themselves, their gazes involuntarily drifting towards Yun Ying not far away.

"Waaaaah!"

When Yunying saw that everyone's eyes were on her, she immediately trembled and hid behind Wu Shen, clutching his clothes tightly with her small hands.

Although her father and sisters have chosen to forgive her, she still worries that the other mothers will harbor resentment towards her after learning the truth. After all, it was because of her that their daughters were in danger and could have disappeared at any moment.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and silently arrived beside Yun Ying.

“These things were indeed unintentional on Yun Ying’s part, but if you have any grievances, please come to me, her guardian, and I will take responsibility,” Zi Hu said calmly to Yun Ying.

"You are……"

"Could you be Yunying's mother?" Yukino, who had met Yukari once before, was the first to realize.

She did inquire about Wu Shenzi's identity at the time, but Wu Shenzi said that she and they were not from the same world, and it was best not to delve into it for everyone's sake. Now it seems that she should be Yunying's mother.

At this moment, everyone came to their senses, looked at the mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared, and then looked at Yun Ying, who was peeking out from behind her. They found that the two really looked like they were carved from the same mold.

"That's right, I am Yunying's mother. Everything Yunying did was unintentional, and ultimately it's my responsibility as her guardian. So if you have any grievances or complaints, please direct them all at me."

The moment Wu Shen saw Zi appear, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He knew Zi's personality perfectly well, and given that she possessed abilities and wasn't human, a conflict with someone could easily escalate out of control.

However, it seems that she had worried too much; Zi was ultimately reasonable. This matter was Yun Ying's responsibility, and she did not press the issue; instead, her tone was very gentle.

Perhaps this could be considered a blessing in disguise? If it weren't for Yun Ying's incident, Wu Shen estimated that Zi would definitely not have shown any mercy if she were facing a group of women vying for her spouse.

"Resentment? Not really. To be honest, I have to thank Yunying. If it weren't for Yunying, I probably wouldn't have met Wu Shen in this world, nor would I have met Yuyin." Yukino stroked Yuyin's little head, her tone indifferent but with a hint of gentleness.

"I'm also very grateful to Yunying. If she hadn't sent Chie over after I confessed, which gave me confidence, I probably would have given up completely if I had encountered any minor setbacks afterward."

"Night Song, the best comic assistant, the best daughter, thank you... Would you like some Baumkuchen?"

"If it weren't for Wu Yi's appearance, Wu Shenjun probably wouldn't have pursued me so actively. Putting aside other possibilities, without Wu Yi's help, the chances of me meeting Wu Shenjun in this world would be extremely slim, right?" Shi Yu pinched Wu Yi's little cheek.

"I'm Mommy's little matchmaker!" Mai said proudly while her face was being rubbed.

"Me? I'm not so grateful... If it weren't for Yueyin, I wouldn't have been able to be with Wu... Ugh!"

"Here we go again, my tsundere mother. She's clearly hopelessly infatuated with father, but she keeps pretending she's being forced into it. It's so lame, Mother~~"

"I sacrificed myself so that you wouldn't disappear..."

"Pfft. Maybe that's how it was the first time, but later, if you wanted to save me, you could have used IVF. With Mother's intelligence, there's no way you wouldn't have thought of that, right? Yet every time you still sacrifice yourself and do it yourself. Why is that, Mother~~~" Yueyin covered her mouth and revealed a mischievous smile.

"You! You..." Yang Nai opened her mouth as if to refute something, but in the end she fell silent and said nothing.

Because she really couldn't think of a way to refute it, her daughter couldn't understand why, even though she was such a good actress, her daughter always saw right through her.

When Yukino saw her sister's discomfiture, she almost lost her icy expression.

"We have even less reason to hate Yun Ying. If it weren't for Yun Ying's power that gave us future memories, we, as losers, wouldn't even have a chance to turn the tables," Yui and the others laughed.

"I..." Eriri was about to speak when Wu Shen interrupted her.

"Alright! Everyone has expressed their opinions. Yunying, did you see that no one blamed you? In fact, quite a few people thanked you for what you did. After all, a possibility is just a possibility, and it was because of your actions, Yunying, that everyone's possibilities were truly realized in this world. Yunying, please don't blame yourself for this anymore."

"Thank you everyone." Yun Ying smiled through her tears.

This time, she finally understood completely, and everyone's words and understanding brought her redemption.

"..." Putting aside this touching scene, Eriri still looked miserable.

Suddenly, I felt a little regretful about coming here. It seems I'm the only outsider here; why did I insist on getting involved in the first place?

Having understood the cause and effect, she was now completely free from the task of opposing or trying to matchmake Mashiro and Wu Shen. Being among this group, Eriri felt somewhat out of place and uncomfortable.

"It's great that everyone understands," Wu Shen said with a smile.

"What are you laughing at? We forgive Yunying, but we didn't say we forgive you," Yukino said coldly.

"Huh?"

"Yes, we were even planning to hear your explanation. Where have you been seeing other women behind our backs?" Shi Yu glanced at Zi, then questioned Wu Shen.

"Wu Shen, although I know you have your reasons for doing this, and I don't remember the marriage in the original timeline, you've still had so many affairs behind my back. You may escape the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment!"

Wu Shen was forced to retreat by Shi Yuki and the others when Zi grabbed his shoulder from behind.

"Wu Shen, you will definitely keep your promise, right?" Yui, Yumiko, and the others blocked his way on both sides.

"Wait, wait a minute? Weren't you two arguing just now? How come your relationship has suddenly become so good?"

Previously, Yui, Yumiko, Yukino, and Utaha were at each other's throats, and everyone was looking at Yukari with hostility. How come everyone has suddenly become so united?

"Let's stop arguing. Because we've discovered that the real culprit is you, Wu Shenjun."

"I was here first! But Wu Shen, you didn't recognize me, misunderstood me, and avoided me. I need a fair explanation!" Sanae chimed in defiantly.

Before Mirin arrived, she once thought that if there were a contest for the most tragic unrequited lover of the year, she would definitely be ranked number one.

"Excuse me, but I have to remind everyone that, putting aside the first timeline, even in this world, shouldn't I be the first person Wu Shen confessed to?" Zi said with a smile, unhurriedly.

"Can we not talk about my dark past?" Wu Shen said with a wry smile.

"Wu Shenjun, can you explain what's going on?" Shi Yu's entire body began to release jet-black battle aura.

[This is part of the compensation chapter we discussed last night; there are still 4000 words left to update today.]

Chapter 1029 Determining Birth Order

"Well... I'm going to help Mom prepare for the welcome party." Wu Shen said and tried to run to the kitchen, but before he could take a step, Zi steadied his shoulder from behind.

"It's alright, we'll come help in a bit. Until then, you should stay here and answer the questions properly. Won't you introduce my wife to everyone?"

"Hey, what do you mean by your confident 'legal wife'? Do you think we don't exist?" Shi Yu was the first to stand up and retort aggressively.

"In fact, in the original timeline, it was the future where Wu Shen and I were dating. Not only that, even in this world, I was the first person Wu Shen confessed to. Wu Shen, don't you think so?" Zi smiled and rubbed Wu Shen's shoulder.

"Yes, yes..." Wu Shen turned his head away helplessly.
