In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

She had assumed that Yuan Qianye would deliberately cause trouble and make her make some strange noises, and she was prepared for that.

Fortunately, that didn't happen, which proves that he knew what was important and that he shouldn't do anything reckless in front of his mother, and he didn't try to cross her bottom line.

Just as Yang Nai quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Qianye asked, "What did Auntie say?"

"We'll test the waters later, and depending on those people's attitudes, Dad's original stance might change." Yang Nai wasn't in a good mood when faced with something that was detrimental to the family.

Unlike Yukino, now that she has taken over the family business, she knows more or less what her parents do on a daily basis.

For the sake of this proposal, my father, who has been in politics for many years and has always been viewed with low regard by his maternal grandfather and was known as an "idealist," has been traveling around for the past few months and has worked very hard.

Now, listening to Qianye's words, she felt somewhat sorry for her father, who was about to be betrayed by his allies despite his hard work.

Senya understood Yang's emotions, and his voice softened. He gently patted Yang's shoulder with his massaging hands, then put his hand on Yang's collar: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Haruno leaned forward, her hands slipping from her sleeves one after the other: "You've already done me a huge favor by telling me this. The Yukinoshita family isn't as weak as you think. Now that we have the initial intelligence, we can handle the rest ourselves..."

Ok? !

Yang Nai suddenly realized what was happening and turned around to hug her half-off coat tightly.

How did this scoundrel manage to get me to obediently take off my coat without me even noticing?!

Chapter 072: The Time Management Master (7k)

Despite Yang Nai's sudden change in alertness, Yuan Qianye remained calm.

"Don't get me wrong, I just think it would be more comfortable to take off the suit that's holding me up when I'm resting. Besides, if I'm giving a massage, I can't pinpoint the exact spots through several layers of clothing, and it would be more strenuous."

From the perspective of massage alone, that is indeed the case.

It would be inconvenient to wear thick clothes over it.

Even at a proper massage parlor, the masseuse will ask the customer to take off their coat.

But Yang Nai simply couldn't believe what this guy was saying. Although there was no evidence, her intuition told her that this bad guy was gradually testing her limits.

He was like a top predator lurking on the grasslands, watching him closely. He felt that if he relaxed his guard even slightly and revealed a weakness, this guy would immediately pounce on him and devour him completely!

Calm down, Yukinoshita Haruno. You weren't like this before. Where did your confident and at ease attitude towards this brat go?

How can I become so passive just because I've only slept with him once?

Yang Nai's eyes changed several times in a short period of time, which aroused the puzzled gaze of Yuan Qianye.

After a short while, she exhaled softly, subconsciously raising her hands to remove the protective posture that had been held across her chest. She walked halfway around and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

A gentle smile appeared on her face. She casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and gestured for Yuan Qianye to sit down as well.

His confident and attentive attitude revealed his sense of ownership.

Ah, what a pity...

Seeing that she was wearing such a mask, completely concealing her true self, Yuan Qianye could roughly predict that he probably wouldn't have much of a chance for the rest of the day.

"Thank you so much for today," Yang said with a smile.

"It's nothing." Yuan Qianye sat down opposite her, casually placing the coat he had just taken off, which still retained the warmth of her body, aside. "Sister, if you like, and if your shoulders feel sore from working for a long time, or if you feel uncomfortable or unwell in other parts of your body, you can ask me to come and help you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Nai's smile widened, and she even giggled out loud, covering her mouth.

As mentioned before, compared to her younger sister, this older sister's figure is particularly outstanding, showcasing the purest form of feminine beauty.

This also caused the beautiful stars to tremble when she laughed happily, her body swaying.

Such a pleasing sight reminded Yuan Qianye of a relaxed and lazy afternoon when Shika served her special dessert, a fresh milk pudding. Because it was made using molds made directly from small bowls, the resulting shape after solidification was a regular semi-circle.

Rikka was quite happy to see the white pudding, and playfully patted it a few times with a spoon. The way the pudding wobbled was really appetizing.

So Yuan Qianye also started laughing.

Yang Nai looked at his smile, which was undeniably handsome, yet for some reason it made her feel shy and flustered.

No, I've finally managed to get my emotions back on track; I can't let myself fall into his trap again.

"It's not about the massage. It's about the information you provided to me today. After further confirmation, if those guys really did betray the Yukinoshita family... Ah, I don't mean to doubt you, it's just that you can't completely trust anyone's one-sided story in this kind of thing. You understand, right?"

Yuan Qianye waved his hand, indicating that he understood and didn't mind.

Yang continued, "In short, if it is indeed as you say, then we, Yukinoshita, will really owe you a huge favor."

The smile on her face suddenly turned into a mocking one: "Then you can also take this opportunity to make your mother appreciate you even more. Of course, the premise is that you don't mind me telling others about you. Do you want to tell others? My idea is that it won't do her any harm if she finds out. It will help things between you and Yukino. You know her well, you are capable, and you are so considerate to the Yukino family. There is no better son-in-law than you."

This is a subtle tactic from the older sister's perspective, deliberately mentioning the younger sister to remind both of each other that there are more important people to consider than their flawed relationship.

Yuan Qianye understood what she meant and didn't want to charge forward headlong into trouble when Yang Nai was fully defensive and on high alert.

He Yuanqianye was able to win the hearts of so many outstanding girls over the years through a gradual and gentle approach, subtle and thoughtful surprises, and years of continuous care and protection. Perhaps his outstanding abilities and the irresistible charm of his character also played a part, but he certainly didn't rely on stubbornness.

"Whatever you say, I'll listen to you, sister."

"Good girl~ When the time is right, I will tell Yukino how much you have helped our family and say a few nice words about you. At that time, your image in her mind will be incredibly high. I will also create some opportunities for you, and you can find a chance to win her over in one fell swoop."

The older sister stood up, went to the sofa next to Yuan Qianye, bent down to pick up her coat, and casually looked up to pat his head.

There were no suggestive or romantic undertones; it was just a random, mischievous groping, like something out of a prank.

Yuan Qianye swayed his head slightly in response to her gentle touch: "Yes, if only it were that simple."

"Don't be discouraged. Actually, if you ask me, you were wrong from the start."

"Wrong?"

"Yes, that's a huge mistake. You've been with Yukino since you were little, and you know her so well. How could you not know how serious she is about relationships? You should take the initiative and win her over first. As for your other female friends, just be patient for now. The best option is to wait until you and Yukino are married and have children before secretly developing an extramarital affair."

"If I really did that, not to mention Auntie, you, Sister, would be the first to not let me off the hook."

"How could that be? As long as you're smart enough to keep Yukino from finding out that you're being unfaithful, I'll still stand by you and help you keep it from her."

"hehe."

Yuan Qianye chuckled twice.

All of the above is utter nonsense.

Regardless of the specifics, Haruno deliberately shifted the topic to Yukino in order to repeatedly emphasize and remind herself that some lines cannot be crossed easily, and even if you make a mistake, you must correct it immediately and not repeat the same mistake.

But Yuan Qianye doesn't care about all that. You were the one who was so beautiful and tempting, offering yourself up first and bringing your feelings to the surface. Now that you've tasted the sweetness, you just want to get away after you've had your fun. Do you think you can get away with that?

Either you keep those feelings bottled up and hidden for the rest of your life, or now that you've already provoked yourself, don't think you can easily escape. Be prepared to be tied to yourself for life.

The current situation is just a tug-of-war, nothing more than a replay of the tug-of-war and probing between myself and Toka in the past. I just need to be patient and take it slow.

"I was actually thinking of having dinner together after the meeting today, but as you heard from my mother's phone call, I have to go straight home after this meeting. So I'm sorry, I'll have Yukino thank you properly another time."

"Of course Yukino should thank me, but what about you, sister? You just said that I helped you a lot, so don't you have any way to express your gratitude?"

"Of course there will be, but it depends on my specific time. There will be opportunities later."

"It feels a bit like a perfunctory response, but oh well."

He placed his hands on his knees, sighed softly, and suddenly stood up, appearing somewhat tired.

"I didn't come here specifically to tell you all this because I wanted your gratitude, sister. Even though I encountered considerable obstacles, expended a lot of energy, and incurred many favors in the process of obtaining this information, and I don't know when I'll be able to repay them... it doesn't matter, because I did it willingly."

Looking out at the night sky, Yuan Qianye calmly stated this with a smile.

While no word of reward was mentioned, the overall tone clearly conveyed a strong desire for recognition and recognition.

Was this guy... always this cute?

Are you a child who did a good deed and deserves praise and a hug?

Yang was at a loss, and knew that if he didn't give him a clear answer about this matter today, it would be difficult to resolve.

There's another meeting waiting for her, so she needs to finish it quickly.

"I understand." Yang Nai also sighed softly, as if there was no other way to answer: "Anyway, after this matter is settled and my work isn't so busy, how about I treat you to a big meal? You can choose the place."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll wait for my sister's call."

Having achieved her goal, Gen Chiya readily took her leave.

It was only a little past seven o'clock when I left the Setsugetsuka Co., Ltd., still early.

I called Liuhua. She had arrived home, just finished eating, and was about to rest for a while before taking a shower.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Qianye thought for a moment and then went to Toka's shop.

The restaurant, which she poured her energy and hopes into, is now seeing a noticeable increase in customer traffic after a period of careful and high-quality operation.

When Yuan Qianye arrived, it was lunchtime, and all the seats in the restaurant were full.

Benches were temporarily placed in the elegantly decorated courtyard, where several guests sat quietly waiting for their numbers to be called.

Yuan Qianye walked into the restaurant and greeted Toka from the outside.

Toka was busy with work and had no time to talk to him. In addition, the store was well-staffed, so there was nothing that Yuan Qianye could do to help. Therefore, he just came over for a quick look and went straight home.

That's great. Following in the footsteps of her father, Runzi's mother, and herself, Shihua's career has also begun to develop steadily, and it can be predicted that it will get better and better in the future.

For a while afterward, Yuan Qianye returned to his daily routine.

Yang Nai seemed so confident, saying that once the situation was cleared up, the Yukino family would naturally be able to resolve it on their own.

Since she had said that, and it was out of trust in her and his future mother-in-law, he no longer insisted on his idea of ​​getting involved.

Given his current base of support, he really doesn't have any means to directly interfere in politics.

We can only use indirect methods, such as using the Eye of God in conjunction with the Dark Wings to monitor those councilors who are detrimental to the Yukino family, to see if we can dig up some dirt on them.

However, if we do that, the time investment is indispensable, and the plan of waiting for others to make mistakes and reveal flaws is also quite luck-dependent and full of uncertainty.

Therefore, he decided to wait and see how things develop before deciding on his next move.

During this time, he didn't rest; he continued writing the book.

He had not forgotten his ultimate ambition in life, and he was determined to become a literary giant.

In addition, every two or three days, if he was sure Yang Nai was at the company, he would place an order with the florist to send her a small bouquet of flowers or a small, delicate succulent planter.

Whether she likes him or not is not important. His goal is to create a sense of presence in her life. Even if he can't be by her side all the time, he wants her subconscious to know that he can come to her side at any time.

No matter how rational Yang Nai appears, she cannot go against the underlying logic that women are more emotional deep down.

On June 27, a week later, Gen Chiya received a phone call from Yono.
