Sakura? Rin? I Want Them Both!

Ling Xi took out a limited edition fruit ice cream and said with a mischievous smile, as if she were trying to entice a young girl, "If you tell me, this is yours. This is a limited edition ice cream, the last one. Your sister has always wanted it, but I didn't give it to her. I saved it especially for you."

"This..."

Rin seemed a little conflicted, but in the end, she blushed and shook her head. "No... I really don't know."

Ling Xi: "..." Goodness, this girl's mouth is pretty tight!

However, looking at Rin's expectant face,

"Oh well... I'll give it to you since you're so cute."

Ling Xi ultimately gave her the ice cream.

"Hehe, Ling Xi."

Rin's face immediately lit up with a smile, because she had already guessed that Ling Xi would eventually give it to her.

"That..."

Seemingly for the sake of the ice cream, Rin finally blushed and whispered, "Father said... it's a good thing, uh... that's it."

After saying that, Rin took the ice cream back to her room to enjoy it.

"Is this a good thing...?"

Hearing Rin's answer, Ling Xi also seemed thoughtful. What good could that guy possibly want from her? To marry his daughter to her?

Never mind, I'll find out when I get there...

In the end, Ling Xi did not refuse and silently walked towards Tokiomi's room...

"Ling Xi!"

In Tokiomi's room, the two sat facing each other, and Tokiomi looked at Ling Xi seriously, saying, "Lately, you seem to be spending more time with Ying..."

"Um... Sakura is quite busy by herself, so I'm just helping her out a little."

Upon hearing Tokiomi's words, Ling Xi immediately became nervous. Could it be that... her affair with his daughter had been discovered?

Even if they find out, there's nothing they can do about it, but... I'm in the wrong.

"Ha, do you really think I don't understand what you're thinking?"

Tokiomi shook his head helplessly and couldn't help but laugh, "It's not just Sakura, it's Rin too. I may not be able to keep up with some of your ideas as young people, but I've been through this myself, so how could I not understand?"

Ling Xi: "..." So, have I and Yae Sakura been discovered?

Wait a minute, that's not right. Even if he's been found out, he's only messed with Sakura. He hasn't even made a move on Rin yet. This guy shouldn't be trying to pin this on him!

"Ling Xi".

Before Ling Xi could answer, Tokiomi continued, "You are a good child. Over the years, you have done a lot for our village, especially for Ying and Lin. I believe your care for them is genuine."

"Hmm... of course, after all, if it weren't for Sakura, I wouldn't have been saved three years ago."

Ling Xi was somewhat confused about Tokiomi's attitude, so she answered cautiously.

"Oh..."

Tokiomi couldn't help but look up at Ling Xi and said, "Alright, there's no need for us to test each other anymore. After all, I won't stop you two from doing things your way. In fact... I'm looking forward to you taking that step."

Ling Xi: "..." It seems that her affair with Yingyingying has really been discovered...

"Ling Xi!"

Tokiomi suddenly became serious and said, "Sakura, Rin, I believe their feelings for you are genuine, so... if you were given a chance, who would you choose?"

"Ha?"

Hearing this, Ling Xi was stunned. Being asked to choose someone... well... if the truth about Yae Sakura already existed, Tokiomi definitely wouldn't give her a choice anymore; she would have Yae Sakura come instead. But now...

Doesn't he know about Yingyingying's situation?

Hmm... that should be the case. After all, although Yingyingying and I pray together almost every day, for the past month, we've almost always prayed together at the shrine. At home, we've only fed her some milk tea at most, so...

It seems that what he and Yae Sakura obtained hasn't been exposed yet.

"Since you don't want to choose, then I'll choose for you. It'll be Rin."

Seeing Ling Xi hesitate, Tokiomi said directly, "After all, Sakura is a shrine maiden now. Although I have changed the tradition, it is best not to get married before she retires. This is the bottom line. Therefore... I think Rin is more suitable. What do you think?"

"Cold?"

Ling Xi was somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt it made perfect sense. After all, Sakura had chosen to be a shrine maiden, so Tokiomi would most likely not agree. Therefore, his choice of Rin was actually quite reasonable, except...

Are you telling the truth?

Ling Xi looked at the other person with some curiosity, after all, this seemed a bit sudden.

"What, you think I'm joking?"

Tokiomi smiled calmly and said seriously, "As long as you say the word, I can call Lin over immediately, and then you can get married tomorrow!"

"Puff..."

Ling Xi nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. No... although she also had feelings for Rin, this was too fast! Even a whirlwind marriage wasn't this fast!

"Um, shouldn't we ask Rin's opinion first?"

Although Ling Xi really wanted to complain, she certainly couldn't refuse, and besides... what Rin thought.

"You don't need to worry about that."

Tokiomi smiled slightly, saying confidently and proudly, "Although I really want to say now that Rin can't refuse what I've decided, I actually already talked to Rin about this before I came to you, and Rin's meaning is... it's all up to Father!"

Ling Xi: "???"

Holy crap, so that's why Rin was blushing the whole time? That girl... actually knew the truth about Tokiomi looking for her from the beginning!

Damn it, that girl even tricked me out of an ice cream!

Chapter 548: Sakura? Rin? I want them all!

"Forehead..."

Hearing Tokiomi's words, Ling Xi seemed somewhat conflicted. It wasn't that she didn't want Rin, but rather...

If only Rin is accepted, then Yae Sakura will definitely be dissatisfied, and if she is dissatisfied, she might just self-destruct. At that time, Rin... well, Ling Xi thinks that even if Rin agrees, Tokiomi probably won't agree.

"Hmm? Is there something you're unhappy about with Rin?"

Seeing that Ling Xi did not agree directly, Tokiomi seemed a little surprised. Under normal circumstances, and given the relationship between the two, Ling Xi should have agreed without hesitation. Wasn't Lin more appealing?

"Uh... no, that's not what I meant, I just..."

Ling Xi seemed a little conflicted. She couldn't just say, "I want them all," could she?

"Could it be that you want Sakura?"

Tokiomi frowned slightly. Although Sakura was fine with him, he preferred a situation where he could open a new account immediately, so Rin was obviously more suitable.

Ling Xi "..."

At this moment, Ling Xi didn't want to deny it. After all... she and Yae Sakura had already done what they should and shouldn't have done. If she chose to run away now, then...

"Actually, I want both of them."

Ling Xi said in a deliberately profound tone, "Because whether it's Sakura or Rin, they are both people I care about the most. I can't choose between them, so can I have them both?"

Tokiomi "..."

At this moment, Tokiomi only wanted to draw his sword and fight this guy one-on-one, but thinking that he might not be able to win, and that Sakura and Rin would most likely help Ling Xi, he decided to give up.

"Whoosh..."

Finally, Tokiomi sighed and said, "Alright, if they have no objections, then I will not interfere in principle."

"Huh? Really?"

Ling Xi was about to cheer when Tokiomi interrupted her.

"Don't be so happy yet, I have conditions!"

Tokiomi looked at Ling Xi seriously and said, "You know that our family only has two daughters, so the task of passing on the family line naturally falls on them. I originally intended for one of them to follow you, while the other would stay at home and find a husband from outside to carry on the bloodline of the Yae family, but..."

"If they both stay with you now, then our family will have no descendants, so..."

Tokiomi calmly said, "I don't care whether you had children with Sakura or Rin, but they are all of our Yae family bloodline. Therefore, I hope... your first child can stay in our Yae family and inherit the Yae surname and the shrine. But only the first one. As for the subsequent children, I will not interfere. Is that alright?"

Ling Xi: "???"

Hearing this, Ling Xi couldn't help but twitch her lips again. Good heavens, I didn't expect it to end up being a son-in-law story again?

However, he might have to disappoint Tokiomi, because he would most likely be unable to have offspring with either Yae Sakura or Yae Rin. Perhaps... there might be a chance when the Doctor wakes up.

Furthermore, I don't know what happened to the Yae family in the end in the original story, but now...

If I were to abduct both of these girls, it seems Yae Sakura would truly be childless, unless I could develop a relationship with them, but...

If she really is pregnant, then forget whether Yae Sakura and Rin would be willing to leave the child here, I probably wouldn't agree either, after all...

It's so hard to succeed on your own.

"By the way, father-in-law, you're still young, can't you use a secondary account?"

Thinking that she had taken away both of someone else's daughters, Ling Xi decided to do something, after all... she couldn't let Yae Sakura have no descendants.

At the same time, Ling Xi also began to call his father-in-law very skillfully.

"This..."

Upon hearing Ling Xi's question, Tokiomi's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he was also somewhat conflicted. Opening a secondary account... Do you think I don't want to?

"Um... could it be that my father-in-law has some unspeakable secret?"

Ling Xi couldn't help but ask further.

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense!"

Tokiomi Chen immediately coughed and denied it, then said seriously, "I just think it's unnecessary. Besides, I'm too strong, but my wife is too weak, especially after giving birth to Rin, her health has never been good."

Ling Xi: "..." Don't kid me, the mother of these two girls is in perfect health.

Over the years, Ling Xi would occasionally take time to check everyone's health. Yae Sakura and her mother were the healthiest in the family, followed by Tokiomi, and then Rin!

However, after several years of recuperation, Rin's body is in a relatively healthy state, although she is still slightly weaker than other people her age.

As for Tokiomi's current expression and tone, well... he has a friend who has also encountered this situation.

"Dear Father-in-law..."

Ling Xi took out the "I Love a Shiba Inu" card he had drawn years ago, along with various health supplements, and said with a smile, "These are just a small token of my appreciation, meant to help you regain your virility. Of course, I know you definitely don't need them, but..."

"You must have some friends who need this kind of thing, so... father-in-law, why don't you accept it?"

Tokiomi "..."

Actually, Tokiomi initially wanted to refuse, after all, he couldn't possibly admit to something like this, but...

Ling Xi was so thoughtful; she not only gave me something, but she even prepared a way out for me. It wasn't that I needed the gift, but that my friend needed it.

"Ahem, since it's your kind gesture, then I..."

So, Tokiomi finally chose to compromise with reality. After all... if what Ling Xi gave him really worked, then he could start a new account. As for those two girls... humph, they're like spilled water. They're just daughters, better off without them!

"Father-in-law, please accept this."

Ling Xi handed over the items with a smile, adding, "If you or your friend need anything else in the future... cough cough, if they need anything else, feel free to come to me anytime!"

"Sensible!"

At this point, Tokiomi had completely accepted the gift.

"Ling Xi, Sakura and Rin, that girl..."

Tokiomi, then shook his head and smiled, "Fine, I believe you'll take good care of them, but... if you want both of them, you'll have to work hard for it yourself!"

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Ling Xi nodded confidently, answering Tokiomi's two questions. Taking good care of them was a given; as for dealing with them...

Leaving aside the whimpering for now, after all, she's already in her own shape.

As for Rin... when that girl came to see me before, she had a shy expression on her face, and besides, that girl had said before that she would let Tokiomi make the decision, so...
