Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

For the sake of family harmony, she still mustered up the courage to come, bringing all her pocket money, 50 yuan.

She figured that with so much money, Shiratori Xiu wouldn't be able to lay a hand on her no matter what.

But she underestimated her allure to the delinquents. Shiratori-san wanted more than just her money; he also wanted her body!

"Don't look at me like that. Don't forget what you just said. Don't misunderstand. Don't overthink it. You only need to consider one thing: the feasibility of this plan."

Although Shiratori Osamu doesn't have mind-reading abilities, he's not blind. He could see the changes in Yamabuki Minami's expression and her suspicious gaze, and gave her a warning.

The reason he laid so much groundwork before proposing this plan was because he knew how wary girls are.

Even if a woman is mentally prepared, it's hard for her not to overthink things when the man suggests spending the night together.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Startled from his reverie by his reminder, Minami Yamabuki quickly apologized.

Because the suggestion was so outrageous, she was on guard and forgot the promise she had just made, and her mind started to wander.

"Whether or not to implement this plan is up to you."

Shiratori Osamu waved his hand dismissively, not caring about it, and simply added a reassuring remark.

It's normal for girls to be wary of the opposite sex, especially pretty girls.

If a pretty girl acts completely unguarded towards a boy, there's only one possibility.

This girl is a master of feigning ignorance; she appears to be a foolish prey, but in reality, she is a shrewd hunter.

"Ok."

Minami Yamabuki nodded, then fell into thought.

She had panicked and lost her composure just now, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, she realized that Shiratori-san wasn't directly pinning her against the wall and forcing himself on her; he was just offering her a solution, and the decision was in her hands.

The success rate of this "acting out the whole thing" strategy is extremely high; the outcome is so predictable that it's a finishing move capable of killing the game.

If Shiratori Shu spends one night in her room, her parents will have no choice but to believe it, even if they don't want to.

However, this method carries unforeseen risks. If a man and a woman spend the night together, and Shiratori-san decides to do something to her, she will be powerless to resist.

Is it really worth taking such a big risk?

"Shiratori-san, can you think of any other solutions?"

Minami Yamabuki clutched the hem of her school uniform with both hands, and after much hesitation, she cautiously began to speak.

"No."

Shiratori Osamu shook his head. It wasn't that he was hiding his abilities; he simply couldn't think of a better solution at the moment.

Seeing that he couldn't come up with a solution, Yamabuki Minami fell into deep thought.

"Yamabuki-san, there's something I can make clear to you beforehand: I promise I won't touch you while I'm staying at your house overnight."

Sensing her struggle and worry, Shiratori realized that things couldn't continue like this, so he decided to provide her with security.

"absolute?"

Still struggling with her decision, Minami Yamabuki looked up with a sudden flash of inspiration.

The reason she was conflicted was that she was hesitant about whether to bring it up and agree on some things in advance, but she was also worried that doing so would make Shiratori-san unhappy.

"absolute."

Shiratori Osamu nodded, quite certain of it.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Shiratori-san. Please take good care of me."

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be lying, Yamabuki Minami was immediately excited and bowed deeply to him.

"You don't need to be so polite. We're just cooperating for mutual benefit."

Finally, a consensus was reached. Seeing how formal she was being, Shiratori Osamu stood up as well.

"So tall!" As he moved, Yamabuki Minami stopped bowing, and was immediately taken aback.

When they sat next to each other in high school, Shiratori-san was already much taller than her.

After a long time, when we were in close proximity again, Shiratori-san had grown even taller... Standing in front of her, he looked like a giant, the height difference was obvious.

"So small..." After Shiratori stood up, he found that she was even more petite, probably around 1 meters tall. Actually, this height is not short, but her figure is very slender.

"Give me the money."

After a moment of reflection, Shiratori reached out his hand to her.

"Ah, yes." Seeing his action, Yamabuki Minami paused for a moment, then looked down and took out the wad of money from her bag again. "This is your payment."

"Wait a moment." Taking the money she handed him, Shiratori Shu didn't stand on ceremony and began counting it in front of her.

This money consists of ten-thousand-yuan bills, and its thickness, weight, and even smell bring a sense of pleasure.

"..." Seeing him counting the money in front of her, Yamabuki Minami didn't say anything, but felt a little uncomfortable.

Although the amount of money is not much, it is definitely enough to hire someone to impersonate your boyfriend. Is it necessary to count it so precisely?

"50 yen?"

After checking everything one by one, Shiratori Osamu felt it was unbelievable.

He had noticed during his large-scale investigation a few days ago that the exchange rate between RMB and Japanese Yen at that time was 1:17.

50 yen, which is nearly 3 yuan if you do a simple conversion!

In other words, the banknotes are different in denomination. If it were 3 RMB, the thickness would be quite exaggerated.

"Heh heh~ Didn't expect me to bring so much money, did you?"

Minami Yamabuki, who was initially feeling a little uncomfortable, couldn't help but smile when she saw the surprise on his face, feeling a bit smug.

For a high school student, 50 is a huge sum of money!

"for you."

Just then, Shiratori Osamu divided the money into two parts and handed one of them to her.

"?"

Seeing this gesture, Minami Yamabuki was puzzled and tilted her head in confusion.

"I'll take half of this money now, and you can pay me the rest after the problem is resolved."

Shiratori Osamu is very realistic; if others treat him with sincerity, he will reciprocate with sincerity in return.

Minami Yamabuki was still a little confused. So, he counted the money in front of her to separate it into individual pieces?

"Take it." Seeing that she didn't speak and looked a little dazed, Shiratori Xiu raised his right hand.

"Oh, okay." Yamabuki Minami was urged by him, and when she came to her senses, she obediently did as he said and took back half of the money.

"Pleasant to work with."

After finishing this task, Shiratori Osamu smiled and extended his hand to her.

"Pleasant to work with."

Seeing his gesture, Minami Yamabuki felt a little uncomfortable, but still shook hands with him.

In Japanese social etiquette, bowing is the generally accepted form of greeting, while handshakes are rare.

Chapter 5 The Blonde Boyfriend

Tokyo, Shibuya Jingu Gaien, a luxury apartment building, a large 16th-floor flat.

In the master bedroom, Tomoya Yamabuki is packing his luggage, preparing for a business trip.

This business trip is expected to last two days and three nights. I need to prepare several sets of clothes, as well as the company president's official seal and the contract.

"Honey, can you please not go to Hokkaido?"

At the bedroom door, Yamabuki, with her long black hair pinned up with a shark clip and wearing a purple lace mini dress, looked at her husband packing his luggage and made a soft request.

"No, this business trip is about a very important cooperation. As long as we secure the order, the company's development will be very smooth for the next three years."

When faced with his wife's request, Tomoya Yamabuki refused without even turning his head.

"You're already the president of a company. Can't you delegate sales tasks to your employees? Do you really have to go there yourself?"

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Yamabuki bit her red lips, her heart breaking.

"Nonsense! This isn't just ordinary business dealings. This cooperation is worth 180 billion, and it's a crucial business negotiation."

Hearing her resentful tone, Yamabuki Tomoya immediately became angry and turned around to accuse her indignantly.

He worked himself to the bone trying to earn money, starting and running a company in order to provide a better life for his wife and daughter. But not only did his wife not support him, she also questioned his decisions.

"If this collaboration is truly important, why didn't you bring your most capable subordinate, Tanaka, instead of your secretary?"

Seeing that he was still being stubborn even though he had clearly done something wrong, and even scolding her, Yamabuki's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Married for nineteen years, her husband never used to be harsh with her or get angry with her. Even when he was busy with work, he would always find a way to spend time with her, coax her, and care for her.

But everything changed after that philanderer joined the company.

“I’ve told you many times already. This collaboration was arranged through Akari Tsumugi’s connections. She’s the middleman, so she has to go.”

Seeing his wife's almost crying expression, Tomoya Yamabuki felt a pang of heartache and guilt, but in order to persuade her, he insisted on his own opinion.

"Since she's the one who brought in this collaboration, why not let her go with Tanaka? You know Tanaka's capabilities best."

“Honey, business collaborations sometimes aren’t just about ability. As the president, my personal involvement in the negotiations better demonstrates our sincerity and attitude.”

"What sincerity and attitude? You just want to go on a business trip with that female secretary!"

Seeing that he was still lying, even the gentlest person like Yamabuki had a temper.

Whether it was her husband's deception or the flaunting of his mistress, she was furious.

"This is utterly absurd! Anyway, I'm going on a business trip and will be back in a few days. You can calm down in the meantime."

Startled that his thoughts had been exposed, Yamabuki Tomoya was suddenly enraged and then lowered his head to continue packing his luggage.

He didn't bother folding it, just stuffed it all in and zipped it up.

After packing, he picked up his suitcase and headed out.

Yamabuki, who had been standing at the door the whole time, spread her arms and blocked his way. She didn't say anything, but just looked at her husband with great grievance.

"Get out of the way."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Tomoya Yamabuki felt extremely guilty, and a strong sense of remorse welled up in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it and remained firm in his attitude.

He did indeed have ulterior motives for going on this business trip with his secretary, such as wanting to have sex with her a few more times, but this contract is really important.

If he can secure this contract, his career will not only reach new heights, but he will also be able to provide his family with a better life.

Yamabuki trembled as he scolded her, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks, but she still looked at him stubbornly, refusing to give way.

"Wife..."

Seeing that she was really crying, Tomoya Yamabuki immediately softened.

"Honey, how about we let Tanaka negotiate this contract? If it works out, great; if not, forget it. You've earned enough money over the years."

Seeing his reaction, Yamabuki realized that he still loved her after all, and pleaded softly.

She had seen that philandering cat before; he was young, beautiful, and intelligent.

If the husband is allowed to go on this business trip and the two of them are left alone for several days, their marriage is very likely to break down.

"Honey, I..."

When Yamabuki Tomoya heard her say that, he immediately wavered.

Just then, the phone rang.

He took it out of his pocket and saw that the caller's contact name was Akari Tsumugi.

"I have to catch my flight. I'll talk to you properly when I get back from my business trip."

When Yamabuki Tomoya saw the phone call, he panicked and forcefully pressed her hand down, then quickly walked out of the room, brushing past her.

"Ugh..." With his forceful actions, all the strength in Yamabuki's body seemed to be drained in an instant. She sat down on the ground with a thud, covering her face and crying bitterly.

Hearing her cries, Tomoya Yamabuki paused, but continued walking forward, pulling his suitcase.
