Only I Follow the Law: An Unorthodox Tokyo Cultivation Routine.

In terms of personality, she is more like her biological mother, as gentle and virtuous as Masako Yagyu, while her older sister is more like her father, taciturn and strong-willed.

Upon hearing this, Masako Yagyu did not refuse and stepped aside.

"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you. But it's really not right to leave the guests hanging."

Anna Yagyu scratched her head and smiled sheepishly, "I already told my senior, so I'll leave it to you, Mother, to entertain him."

"Then hurry up."

Masako Yagyu wiped her hands on her apron, took it off and handed it to Anna, then turned and left the kitchen.

Upon entering the living room, she bowed slightly and apologized to Han Chuanyou, who was sitting at one side of the tea table: "I'm sorry, I left you standing there."

She stepped forward gracefully and sat down slowly in front of Han Chuanyou.

"It's alright." Han Chuan You shook his head. "I'm also really looking forward to Anna and the others' cooking."

"I just hope you won't be disappointed later."

Yagyu Masako picked up the teapot, tilted it slightly, and added some tea to Hankawa Yu's cup.

"Besides inviting you to dinner, I also wanted to thank you for your help last time. I don't know what you like, so I could only give you these mundane gifts."

Yagyu Masako took out a bank card from the side and pushed it in front of Kankawa Yu.

Han Chuanyou glanced at the bank card.

More than money, he liked the necklace on Yagyu Masako's chest.

"I don't want money."

He slowly shook his head, looking at the other person.

Now that Yagyu Genon and the others are gone, he feels he has found an opportunity.

This is an opportunity he must seize today. This earth-rank magic artifact is incredibly useful; it allows him to teleport people around. With this, he can get home much faster after being out and about every night.

From now on, there will be no more worries about Mizuki suddenly entering your room, finding you missing, and ending up with an inexplicable fate.

He put down his teacup, looked at Aunt Yako's delicate and gentle oval face, and his eyes were sincere:

"Aunt Masako, please grant me a request. From the very first time we met, I've been captivated by you..."

"and many more."

Masako Yagyu's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively interrupted him.

"Free of charge, this gaze, is it trying to take me?"

She gazed into the eyes of the boy before her, her heart beating slightly faster.

She had already sensed it before.

As expected, the boy couldn't hold back and actually planned to take the opportunity to confess to her. Yagyu Masako unconsciously clenched her hands together, and a hint of shyness flashed across her face.

At her age, being confessed to by such a handsome young man as Han Chuanyou was quite pleasing to her. After all, being able to attract such an outstanding young man showed that her charm was just as great as it had been back then.

However you look at it, the two are not a good match.

A blush rose to her delicate cheeks, and her clear, watery eyes gazed tenderly at the young man. She picked up her teacup, took a sip to calm herself, and then slowly began to speak:

“Yu-kun, I understand your feelings. It’s just that we’ve only known each other for a short time. You are very outstanding, but compared to me, Anna or Tsurune are obviously more suitable for you. Besides, I’m already so old, I’m not a good match for you.”

Han Chuan You paused, then scratched his head: "Really? I'm sorry, Aunt Yako, I was being presumptuous..."

He instinctively apologized, but then he suddenly realized what he had done.

"wrong!"

What is all this nonsense? How did I get so caught up in this?

I wasn't confessing my feelings, so why would Aunt Masako interpret it that way?

Seeing the charming blush on Masako Yagyu's cheeks, this is a huge misunderstanding!

Confessing your feelings to a classmate's family is just too outrageous, no matter how you look at it.

The sounds from the kitchen were clearly audible, and he quickly began to explain:

"Aunt Masako, what I mean is... I'm attracted to the necklace around your neck, and I wanted to ask if you could bear to part with it."

My sister's birthday is coming up soon, and I still don't know what decent gift to give her. Then I thought of your necklace, Auntie.

Don't worry, I'm definitely not the kind of person who would steal someone else's beloved item. If it's too expensive, just pretend I didn't say anything. The main problem is that you simply can't find the same style of item online, Auntie.

Masako Yagyu paused slightly, her eyelashes trembling gently.

After being rejected... was it an excuse made up on the spot to ease the awkwardness?

Chapter 103 Masako Yagyu: He really loves me!

Seeing the boy so flustered, she felt a pang of inexplicable guilt.

What an innocent young man! His flustered and disorganized explanation gently touched a chord in her heart.

For a boy who had never been in love before, such a passionate confession and courage to charge forward for love moved her deeply.

But she rejected him, causing his first crush to end without fruition... She suddenly felt a little regretful.

If, just if, there wasn't this relationship between Tsurune and Anna, perhaps I really would have...

No, she shook her head inwardly.

That's impossible.

Yu-kun is a classmate of Tsurune and Anna, and he and I... are really not a good match.

"Really? It seems Auntie misunderstood. I've embarrassed myself in front of you... Of course, I have no problem getting my necklace back."

She gave an apologetic smile, as if accepting his explanation, and reached behind her head to untie the necklace and hand it to him.

It's just a sapphire necklace. Although it's worth more than five million yen, if it can make up for the boy's unrequited love, it's worth the price.

However, the necklace's connection point was designed to be quite complex for stability, and Masako Yagyu fiddled with the metal clasp for quite a while but couldn't remove it.

With such a powerful magical artifact about to be obtained, Han Chuanyou couldn't contain himself and stood up to offer his help: "Let me help you, Aunt Yako."

When Yagyu Masako met the boy's eager gaze, she hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Yu-kun."

Han Chuanyou circled around behind her, while Yagyu Masako maintained a proper kneeling posture, her feet, covered in white socks, crossed under her buttocks—a very orthodox kneeling position.

The woman's neck was exceptionally white, contrasting sharply with her silky, glossy black hair. He gently brushed aside her long, faintly fragrant hair and carefully picked up the necklace around her neck.

Masako Yagyu lowered her head to make it easier for the boy to move.

His hand inevitably touched the soft skin on the back of the woman's neck.

As Yagyu Masako felt the boy's fingers touch her, her body trembled slightly, as if she had been electrocuted. A blush rose on her cheeks, and her toes unconsciously rubbed against each other a few times. Her crossed legs tightened slightly.

Han Chuan You quickly took off the necklace.

The dazzling gemstone lay in his palm, still warm from Yagyu Masako's body. Thinking back to how it had just fallen against the woman's chest, he couldn't help but ponder.

After calming down from the shock, the subtitles in front of me changed, and I successfully obtained the Earth-rank magic weapon!

To express his gratitude, my fellow Daoist gifted you a magical artifact:

The Star-Locking Lock, a high-grade Earth-rank item, can leave star imprints in multiple locations (up to three). Activating one of the star imprints via the necklace will grant teleportation...

I finally got it! I can never repay Aunt Masako's kindness!

The boy's gaze toward the woman grew even more intense.

Masako Yagyu felt her heart burning under that gaze.

She couldn't help but wonder, what if Han Chuan You and Xian Yin got married in the future, but Han Chuan You still had feelings for her?

What if Chordin gets married just to be closer to her?

Wouldn't rejecting the boy's confession indirectly ruin both of their lives?

What if Yu-kun couldn't suppress his love for him and his heart gradually became twisted, and he used some outrageous reason to threaten him?

He said things like, "You don't want Xuan Yin to know about us, do you?" trying to get me to give in to him. So, should I agree or not?

If she doesn't agree, Xianyin will hold a grudge against her, and their happy family will be broken up.

If she agrees, she might have to endure Yu-kun's torment every day and secretly engage in this immoral and abnormal relationship.

In the end, she might even completely succumb, constantly compromising and hiding it from Tsurin, becoming a tool to satisfy Yuuki's desires when Tsurin is pregnant.

In the end, she might get pregnant along with Yu-kun, but Yu-kun wouldn't allow her to abort the pregnancy. So she would have to disappear for a while and secretly give birth to the baby, lying to Tsurune that it was twins. She would raise them together without telling her and continue this immoral relationship forever.

The more she thought about it, the deeper she went.

They have even foreseen a dark future of being constantly exploited, treated as someone they can't afford to offend, and with no end in sight.

Masako Yagyu suddenly felt that she had been too decisive in her refusal today.

Is it better to sacrifice one person's happiness or the happiness of two people?

This is a perplexing train problem.

Is it for Tsurune's happiness, to fulfill their wishes, but the result will immerse her in false happiness, or to fulfill Yuuki's wishes, thereby hurting Tsurune?

No matter how you look at it, there is no optimal solution.

"Yu-kun."

Yagyu Masako suddenly spoke, her expression carrying a hint of the demeanor of a head of the family who was in charge.

"Ok?"

Han Chuan You, who was enjoying himself, looked up in confusion.

"Hmm... I feel we haven't spent enough time together, and we need to get to know each other better."

In the end, Masako Yagyu gave the boy a glimmer of hope, which was also a way out for herself.

If, just if, we can't think of a way to have the best of both worlds in the future, then we'll have to sacrifice ourselves.

"what?!"

Han Chuan You didn't understand what Aunt Ya Zi meant for a moment.

What do you mean by knowing or not knowing?

Thinking back to how Aunt Yako had tried to matchmake him and Choron, Han Chuan You thought it was a test of whether he could become her son-in-law.

He nodded firmly, "Really? I will try my best to gain Aunt Yako's true approval."

The boy's eyes showed no evasion, so sincere that it was hard to look directly at him, and Yagyu Masako felt a tremor in her heart.

He really loves me.

How should I deal with his feelings?

She felt that her heart, which had been closed off for so many years, was about to be shattered by the simple, straightforward, and sincere pursuit of the young man in front of her.

"Senior, dinner's ready! Two of these dishes were made by me, and two were made by my sister. Guess which one was made by which sister later, and don't guess wrong!"

Anna Yagyu carried the dishes out of the kitchen, breaking the awkward atmosphere between the two.

"Don't underestimate me. My tongue is very sensitive; I guarantee I'll guess them all."

Masako Yagyu rose with a smile, her demeanor remaining gentle and poised.

"Then I'll benefit from Yu-kun's success too."

At the dinner table, Han Chuanyou, with his keen perception, naturally guessed everything, which greatly pleased everyone.

Looking at the group of people getting along well, Masako Yagyu seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Anna Yagyu noticed that the necklace around Masako Yagyu's neck had suddenly disappeared and couldn't help but ask.

Masako Yagyu instinctively concealed the truth, explaining naturally, "I felt it was a bit inconvenient to wear the necklace all the time, so I took it off."

"is it?"

Anna Yagyu didn't think much of it, but Genne Yagyu was a little puzzled.

This necklace was a favorite of Masako Yagyu, and she had worn it for many years. It seemed a little strange to suddenly take it off, but she only did so because she genuinely felt it was inconvenient.

Masako Yagyu was feeling conflicted; even this small suspicion made her uneasy.

Perhaps, for the sake of family harmony, it is necessary to sacrifice oneself when needed.
