The Secret Is Out: Maya and Maya (5.5K) (Continued)

To some extent, Mahiro very concerned about his image, but to another extent, he is also quite shameless and brazen.

Why would he care about her gaze? Instead, he asked innocently and naively:

"Yotsuba Miya, aren't you going to sleep yet? I'll go to bed now, I have to get up early for school tomorrow."

With that, Mahiro turned off the light.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, and the quiet night seemed to open its bloody maw, swallowing Yotsuba Clan's Yotsuba Miya whole.

Only the bright moonlight streaming in from the window shone upon her.

Because she had taken a shower earlier, she had already taken off the long dress that resembled an evening gown and changed into the pajamas that Minami had brought her.

Her long hair, which had been tied up high, had been let down, cascading down her back like a waterfall to her waist, with the dew-kissed ends brushing against her slightly pursed lips.

A long, silk nightgown draped softly over her body, her arms crossed over her chest, inexplicably highlighting her full, rounded figure...

After Mahiro for a while, Mahiro closed his eyes.

"Well..."

In the darkness, he heard a faint sigh.

Immediately afterwards, I felt the bed beside me sink slightly, and at the same time, a refreshing rose scent wafted over.

It's obvious without even thinking that his dear Yotsuba Miya aunt gave in.

So, as if playing a prank, he slowly turned over and covered the area with his arm.

"... Don't move."

In the darkness, Yotsuba Clan softly rebuked him in the Yotsuba Miya.

Although I couldn't see it, I could clearly feel someone putting their arm around my waist.

But that wasn't the end of it. His reprimands had no effect whatsoever; instead, they only emboldened the other party.

In the Yotsuba Miya, she felt a weight on her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Mahiro was already fast asleep on her chest.

Yotsuba Clan opened her eyes restlessly in the Yotsuba Miya, a glimmer of light appearing in her wine-red eyes as she tried to grasp the "door" to Mahiro's unconscious realm.

It's unclear whether Mahiro is pretending to be asleep or is actually asleep.

But upon seeing that peaceful sleeping face and feeling that soft, steady breathing, Yotsuba Miya immediately abandoned her original plan. She slowly opened the door, swallowing back even the lecturing words she had prepared.

Instead, as if possessed, he reached out, pulled the blanket over Mahiro, and tucked it in.

With her other hand, she gently stroked his hair.

I felt like I was in a strange state Yotsuba Miya.

Even if she blames everything she's doing now on the bet, she's also noticed a change in herself.

It's not about the physical level, but about the mindset.

This resurrection may have allowed her to rediscover the emotions she had once abandoned and destroyed with her own hands.

The love she felt for her son, Shiba Tatsuya, and the guilt she felt for having personally changed him.

But.

Perhaps because Yotsuba Mahiro and Shiba Tatsuya had similar experiences, and because they both came from the Fourth Laboratory, Mahiro inexplicably transferred her feelings to Mahiro, who was clinging to her, Yotsuba Clan at Yotsuba Miya.

Although she herself hadn't noticed this, and although she kept reassuring herself—

Aunt is also a mother; she is merely taking over Maya's role by helping to care for this child and making up for the maternal love he never received.

After all, she and her twin sister, Maya Yotsuba, were once so close that they were practically inseparable.

Her child is Maya's child, and Maya's child is her child; this idea has no problem for her.

Not to mention, even after Maya's health deteriorated, she was still able to have this only and last child.

Is this child a curse from the Great Han? Does he have tainted blood flowing through his veins?

Yotsuba Clan never had such thoughts in the Yotsuba Miya place.

Despite its bizarre origins, only the most ignorant would think that way.

After all, this child was the last act of mercy and compassion bestowed upon Maya by heaven...

But at that moment, her previously smoothed eyebrows furrowed slightly once again.

In the darkness, she whispered a rebuke:

"Don't bite!"

Days passed by.

The relationship between Mahiro and Yotsuba Miya gradually becomes harmonious.

Perhaps she had already resigned herself to her fate, Yotsuba Clan rarely resisted or refused his actions, even when Yotsuba Miya sometimes went too far.

Meanwhile, Yotsuba Clan gradually became concerned about Mahiro's life Yotsuba Miya, which made Minami, who was mainly responsible for Mahiro's life, always look flustered.

It felt like she wanted to take Maya's place in his life.

However, a major event occurred at FLT today --

Shiba Tatsurou, also known as Shiihara Tatsurou, will be stepping down from his position as head of the development division at Four Leaves Technology Corporation.

Not only that, Shiba Tatsurou and Konoha Sayuri are going through a divorce, but Konoha Sayuri is demanding half of Shiba Tatsurou's shares in FLT Corporation.

The reason is that Sayuri cheated on her husband, seduced an employee at the company, and had an affair that was discovered by Shiba Tatsurou.

The incident mainly stemmed from what happened after that office incident.

Afterwards, Sayuri found that her desires had not been satisfied, but by now she had gotten used to it to some extent, so she suppressed those desires.

Unexpectedly, the desire grew stronger in the days that followed, to the point that she could no longer control it.

So, without realizing it, he had a relationship with his subordinate while on a business trip.

This was the first time in many years that she had felt fulfilled.

This led to her spiraling out of control, seducing subordinates throughout the company and engaging in illicit affairs behind Shiba Tatsurou's back.

As for Shiba Tatsurou?

I also felt something strange about myself.

It's normal for physical strength to decline as people reach middle age, but it shouldn't have reached the point of impotence. However, after that day, he found himself unable to achieve an erection.

Not to mention Sayuri, even the other pretty female employees couldn't pique his interest.

Not only that, he developed a fanatical passion for his work, immersing himself in the company every day, working, working, working, and he hardly ever went home anymore.

I practically live at the company.

The stark contrast in their behavior was also noticed by the company's employees.

As for the little shady things Sayuri did, they couldn't be kept secret forever and had long become the subject of gossip in the company after a few drinks.

The male employees said that Sayuri was very promiscuous. They said that despite her cold and serious demeanor, she was incredibly open-minded in private.

Over time, these words naturally reached the ears of Shiba Tatsurou.

But he, now a workaholic, paid no attention, dismissing it as mere gossip from his subordinates, until one day he stumbled upon Sayuri's affair in the break room.

So, the two of them finally laid their cards on the table and started the divorce proceedings.

Sayuri believes that she has made great contributions to FLT over the years, so she wants to take half of Shiba Tatsurou's shares.

But she forgot that Shiba Tatsurou didn't actually own any shares.

Those shares all belong to the Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya's legacy, not to mention that Four Leaves Technology Company belongs to the Yotsuba Family.

Maya Yotsuba, of course, wouldn't stand idly by. She countered by saying, "The shares are my sister's inheritance. Sayuri has no right to inherit them. Only Tatsuya and Miyuki are qualified to inherit them."

Even if the law stipulates that Shiba Tatsurou is entitled to inherit jointly owned property, so what difference does it make if Sayuri, as his second wife, is entitled to a share?

You're talking legally with the Yotsuba Family?

Sorry, Ten Master Clans is the law, let alone the strongest of the Ten Master Clans, the Yotsuba Family.

In the end, even the troublesome Sayuri was imprisoned for embezzling company funds, all of which was done by Maya Yotsuba herself.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really are ruthless when it comes to methods."

"Hehe... Not at all, I'm just a weak woman trying to protect the Yotsuba Family."

Pleasant laughter echoed in the living room.

This woman, who describes herself as a weak and vulnerable woman, possesses the same face and beauty as the Yotsuba Miya itself, yet also exudes a captivating and mature charm that naturally attracts the opposite sex. She is an elegant woman dressed in a long, almost black gown.

She is wearing a sweet smile in the picture.

She was the younger sister I loved most Yotsuba Miya.

The current head of the Yotsuba Family.

One of the world's most powerful magicians.

Maya Yotsuba.

"However, my lovely little Mahiro, wasn't it you who did what happened between Sayuri Shiba and Shiba Tatsurou?"

Maya on the screen suddenly stopped smiling and put on that enigmatic smile.

"I did it?"

Mahiro his head, a similar smile playing on his lips. "Don't make things up without evidence, or I'll sue you for defamation. Besides, what good would it do me to get rid of those two from the Shiba family?"

"That's true."

Maya agreed with his flowers, but then changed the subject. "But the security camera just happened to capture this."

Maya Yotsuba swiped her finger across the screen a few times, and a photo appeared in the upper right corner, showing a black sports car.

"My lovely little Mahiro, if Mommy isn't mistaken, this should be your car, right?"

Driving such an old-fashioned vehicle in the parking lot of Four Leaves Technology Company, it's impossible for him to deny it even if he wanted to.

"Mom doesn't know Mahiro you're doing at the company at this time, but I think you must have some business to discuss with the R&D department, right?"

Yotsuba Mahiro: "..."

This woman has even learned to be sarcastic and sarcastic!

Mahiro sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay, I admit I did it."

After all, Four Leaves Technology is the property of the Yotsuba Family, right? Is it really a good idea to hand the company over to outsiders to mess around with?

"You know, when Aunt Yotsuba Miya was alive, Shiba Tatsurou was still considered a member of the Yotsuba Family, but Aunt Yotsuba Miya is dead, and he's taken a new lover. Even Miyuki doesn't want to acknowledge him anymore. Can he still be considered a member of the Yotsuba Family?"

"Yotsuba Miya... where's my aunt...?"

Maya Yotsuba gave him a meaningful look and smiled slightly, "Lying isn't something a good child does. This isn't what you truly think, Mahiro."

Maya saw through his lie at Yoruichi Shihōin.

He's definitely a cunning old fox; he's not so easily fooled.

"Okay, okay, actually it's mainly because I handed over most of the things I brought back to Tatsuya for research and processing, but I don't trust the company to be in the hands of outsiders."

Moreover, I intend to facilitate a deeper collaboration between Four Leaves Technology and Shiba Heavy Industries."

"To modify the Nation-Protector Divine Machine?"

This unfamiliar term suddenly came out of Maya's mouth.

"Miori Shiba told you that?"

"Uh-huh."

Maya chuckled softly, "She's my lovely little daughter-in-law, I like her very much."

"... You really know how to stir up trouble. If Arcadia explodes over this, I'll make you pay."

"Hehe, no, how could I let my dear child be sad? Don't worry, Mom will protect everything for you."

Maya chuckled softly.

I don't know what made her so happy.

"Okay, although Mom knows you're still hiding something, Mom won't pry any further."
