Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

Being willing to use your brain is not a bad thing; it can lead to excellent performance in various tasks... but it won't work when it comes to collaborating with others.

"I see." Minami Yamabuki nodded as if she understood.

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask."

Since she had nothing better to do, Shiratori helped her clear her mind.

"Shiratori-san, why are you so nice to my mom?"

Realizing she could ask more, Minami Yamabuki seized the opportunity and asked.

According to the original script, Shiratori Osamu was supposed to perform terribly, making her parents feel disgusted and united against her.

As a result, Shiratori-san not only did not offend her mother, but her excellent performance even made her mother develop an unnecessary fondness for her.

"Because your dad is even more difficult to deal with than I expected. If I don't win over your mom, I'll have a hard time even getting into your house."

"But don't we have a trump card: running away from home?"

"That's true. Another reason is that I've noticed your dad is very protective. Even though he's having affairs outside, he still wants his wife at home to stay strong."

"Colored flags? Red flags?" Yamabuki Minami didn't quite understand what he was saying.

"In short, even though your dad cheated on you, he still has feelings for your mom and doesn't want to lose her. So as long as I show kindness to your mom, I can create a very strong sense of crisis for him."

"I see... Why did you want me to tie my hair up?"

"I'll tell you the answer to this question when your dad comes knocking on the door."

Although he intended to answer her questions, Shiratori Osamu smiled and kept her in suspense regarding the matter.

……

In the living room, Tomoya Yamabuki was not idle either.

After his daughter and the blond-haired boy left, while his wife was still busy in the kitchen, he thought about it for a while before getting up and going into his study.

He closed the door, took his phone out of his suit pocket, and woke up the screen.

Seeing that the call on the phone screen remained connected, Satoshi Yamabuki was taken aback.

He was so angry with Shiratori and his daughter that he forgot to hang up the phone.

"Hello." He spoke as he put the phone to his ear.

"President?" A clear and pleasant voice rang out from the phone.

Did you hear that?

"The sound wasn't very clear, but I could hear what they were saying while they were arguing."

What are your thoughts?

"That delinquent was probably an actor that Konan specifically hired to bring home and make you angry. You lost control a lot more today than usual. I think the president already knows what their purpose is."

"Rio, cancel tonight's flight, and then contact President Miyamoto and tell him that I have encountered an unexpected situation and am temporarily unable to attend. I am very sorry."

After listening to her opinion, Tomoya Yamabuki did not respond directly, but instead made a request.

"President, tomorrow's face-to-face meeting was arranged half a month ago. Changing the time suddenly will make President Miyamoto and the others unhappy, and will also bring unnecessary negative impact to this cooperation."

Rio Akari on the other end of the phone disagreed with the decision and offered her advice.

"I said, cancel the flight."

"President, Minami is obviously lying to you."

"I know she's lying to me, but I can't leave right now."

"But……"

"Liyang, do as I say first, and I'll explain it to you later."

"Okay." Seeing that his attitude was very firm, Akari Tsumugi Rio had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​arguing.

The conversation ended there.

Tomoya Yamabuki stood still, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

He wasn't stupid. After calming down, he quickly saw through the clues. With Akari Tsumugi Rio's judgment, the truth of the matter had come to light.

Judging from the previous conversation, Shiratori Osamu doesn't seem to be interested in his daughter. Otherwise, even if he was acting, he wouldn't have said something as shameless and disgusting as "I've already had my fun with her."

Even so, he still couldn't just leave like that.

Because Shiratori Osamu wasn't interested in his daughter, but seemed very interested in his wife!

I was completely stunned at first glance, and forgot that I was pretending to be Xiao Nan's boyfriend.

What's even more complicated is that his wife doesn't know that Shiratori Osamu is an actor hired by Minami, and that she has a very good impression of this future son-in-law.

If this hidden danger is not completely eliminated, he will not be able to go on business trips with peace of mind.

Having finished this task, Tomoya Yamabuki left the study and returned to the sofa in the living room.

After waiting for a while, his wife returned with a tray.

Coffee is different from other drinks; it needs to be poured by hand, which takes a little time.

"Where are Konan and Shiratori-kun?"

"I went to the toilet."

"Two people together?" Yamabuki was surprised to learn of this.

“Yes.” Tomoya Yamabuki nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

In his view, Xiao Nan went to the toilet with that blond-haired guy simply to hide and discuss their strategy.

"Ok."

Seeing that he didn't react, Yamabuki didn't ask any questions, even though she didn't know what he was thinking. She simply placed the coffee in front of him, then sat down on the sofa next to him and started drinking iced barley tea.

"Weren't you rushing to catch the 18:42 PM flight?"

After waiting for a while, Yamabuki looked up at the wall clock and finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke.

It's already 18:01 PM. Although Shibuya isn't far from Haneda Airport, taking only about 25 minutes at the fastest and 30-40 minutes by car, the actual travel time might be longer considering the morning and evening rush hours.

"My flight was canceled, I'm not going."

Tomoya Yamabuki rested his elbow on the sofa armrest, his palm supporting his face, while his other hand rested on the armrest, his fingers striking it rhythmically.

"Oh."

Realizing that he wasn't going on the business trip, Yamabuki should have been happy, but she couldn't feel happy at all.

Because her husband didn't stay for her, but for Minami and Shiratori.

After waiting a while, Tomoya Yamabuki couldn't help but look up at the wall clock.

Although he didn't check the clock in real time, about 15 minutes had passed since Xiao Nan and Xiao Huangmao went to the toilet.

What exactly were those two discussing, and why did it take them so long?

20 minutes.

What's going on? Why aren't they back yet?

"I'll go make dinner."

Silent and speechless, Yamabuki sulked for a while without him saying a word, then got up and left.

25 minutes.

Is that blond-haired guy really a fake boyfriend that Xiao Nan found? What if he is her real boyfriend?

30 minutes.

Seeing that his beloved daughter had not yet appeared, Yamabuki Tomoya, who was frantically guessing what was going on in his mind, finally couldn't sit still any longer and strode towards the toilet.

A teenage couple spending so long in the bathroom, acting so suspiciously and without making a sound—who knows what they're doing!

Chapter 13 I can't tell, I really can't tell.

"Crackling sounds".

Tomoya Yamabuki went to the restroom and reached for the handle, only to find the door locked from the inside.

"Xiao Nan, come out quickly."

Upon realizing this, Yamabuki Tomoya, who had regained some composure and calmness, suddenly became extremely anxious and pounded on the door.

His precious daughter and the blond-haired guy stayed in the bathroom for half an hour and even locked the door. What kind of naughty things were they doing, alone together? Just imagining it made his heart ache.

"Xiaonan, Xiaonan."

However, his shouts went unanswered.

The restroom was very quiet, as if people were deliberately keeping silent.

Despite his repeated calls, he couldn't get his daughter to come out, but he did manage to attract Yamabuki, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen.

"husband?"

Wearing an apron, Yamabuki approached and was a little frightened to see her husband banging on the door almost frantically. She spoke cautiously.

"Shiratori Shu! You come out here!"

Satoshi Yamabuki didn't respond to her, because he was too anxious about not being able to open the door.

The next moment, the toilet door was opened.

"Father-in-law, are you in such a hurry to go to the toilet?" Shiratori Osamu stood at the door, feeling innocent as he looked at Tomoya Ueyama's angry gaze.

Yamabuki Satoshi didn't bother to correct him, shoved him aside, and ran inside to find his daughter.

Minami Yamabuki stood behind Osamu Shiratori, but unlike when she left the sofa, her naturally loose long hair was now tied into a high ponytail for some reason.

She was also sweating a little, with a few strands of hair sticking to her side, and her fair face was slightly flushed, as if the blush was hard to fade.

This unexpected change in appearance is like a wife going out for a while and then returning home to find her black stockings suddenly gone. Anyone who isn't stupid can guess that something obviously happened.

"dad."

When Yamabuki Minami met his scrutinizing gaze, she guiltily looked away.

Before opening the door, Shiratori leaned close to her ear and explained the meaning behind the action of tying her hair.

The truth was beyond her comprehension and expectations; it was so shocking that it took her by surprise.

Moreover, Shiratori-san's hands were not very honest. While explaining to her, he touched the corner of her mouth with his fingers and repeatedly probed her lips.

It wasn't just words, but also physical contact, which made her blush.

"Xiao Nan".

When Yamabuki Tomoya saw her reaction as if she had been caught doing something wrong, he was stunned. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He couldn't tell if his daughter's relationship with the blond-haired guy was real or not; he really couldn't tell!

He regretted it; he shouldn't have been so confident.

Although the daughter's behavior was very abnormal, completely different from her usual personality, and she was blindly in love with Shiratori Osamu, she was hopelessly infatuated and seemed to be acting.

But thinking about it carefully, wasn't his wife also love-struck back then?

I married him and got our marriage certificate right after graduating from high school. It didn't matter if we didn't have money for a wedding, or if I argued with my parents. I just wanted to be with him.

At the same time, Yamabuki arrived at the bathroom door and saw her youngest daughter suddenly tie her hair up in a high ponytail and look a little sweaty. She understood immediately at a glance.

"This is too audacious... It seems my husband was right, this child is a bad guy."

Yamabuki was shocked to think about what mischief the two of them had been up to in the bathroom for half an hour, and couldn't help but glance at Shiratori Osamu.

Although she understands that it's normal for couples in the throes of new love to be affectionate, there are always appropriate times and circumstances.

Now look what happened, the child's father caught them red-handed.

"Ugh……"

After a long silence, Yamabuki Satoshi didn't say much, but just sighed, turned around and walked out of the restroom.

His once handsome and confident figure was now hunched over, looking rather forlorn, as if he had aged several years.

At that moment, he truly understood how his father-in-law and mother-in-law had felt back then.
