Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"Uh... okay." Dong Yunshan let go of her hand. "I'll cooperate."

Yukino Yukinoshita and carefully straightened her clothes.

Dong Yunshan narrowed her eyes slightly. "You wouldn't be using this tidying up as an excuse to think about how to correct me, would you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita froze, glaring at him with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance. "You're not cooperating again!"

Dong Yunshan raised her hand and covered her mouth.

With her icy blue eyes fixed on Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita had originally wanted to come up with a good plan, but now... she'd better plan while taking action.

Yukino Yukinoshita and nudged Higashi Dong Yunshan's shoulder.

There was no progress.

With a stern expression, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes hardened. "Cooperate?"

"Ah--!" Dong Yunshan fell backward onto the bed, "I got pushed over~"

"You...!" Yukino Yukinoshita angrily lunged at him, "You're being uncooperative!"

As always, he made no attempt to lend a hand.

Dong Yunshan reacted quickly and caught her shoulder.

Using his strength, Yukino Yukinoshita steadied herself, skillfully placing her knees on either side of Dong Yunshan's body, and then her rounded body pressed down on him.

What to do next...? Yukino Yukinoshita had absolutely no idea.

That was just like any other day.

Yukino Yukinoshita bent down, cupped Dong Yunshan's face, and kissed his lips.

Correction... Correction...

The previous correction was very successful, but perhaps a little too successful.

We must find a way to correct the Dong Yunshan a little further.

But how should it be corrected?

Correct, correct... stir...

No, that doesn't seem to be it.

Yukino Yukinoshita belatedly got up, her moist cherry lips slightly parted, her breath blowing and swaying the crystalline droplets.

A small, fair hand pressed down on Dong Yunshan's large hand, which hadn't had time to pull away.

"You're not being honest~" Yukino Yukinoshita pressed down on Dong Yunshan's hand, making his grip even firmer, and her voice involuntarily took a turn.

"You just said I was uncooperative." Dong Yunshan's fingers twitched slightly. "So I'm thinking of being more proactive."

"Mmm~ Don't move..." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was as soft as Dong Yunshan's touch.

I never tire of listening to it, and I love it so much I can't put it down.

"Oh, right." Dong Yunshan paused in her work, "After the engagement, I think I should call you... wife~"

"At this very moment..." Upon hearing Dong Yunshan's call, Yukino Yukinoshita involuntarily stiffened, a lovely blush spreading across her cheeks. "I knew you'd never cooperate with me..."

She was still thinking about how to correct it when he suddenly said something that made it impossible for her to think straight.

That kind of address... is so unfair.

Yukino Yukinoshita bent down again, trying to block out the source of the name that was disturbing her thoughts.

Just before they were about to touch, Yukino Yukinoshita paused slightly and muttered a complaint, "Bad husband..."

Then seal his mouth shut.

Chapter 415 Let's get serious.

My clothes, which I just straightened... are messed up again.

This off-the-shoulder loungewear features delicate straps, with exquisite white lace embellishments on the neckline and cuffs. It's loose-fitting, comfortable, and gentle on the skin.

But after being crumpled, the straps moved out of place, and the semi-transparent lace trim ended up covering another spot.

With each movement of Dong Yunshan's fingers, the lace rubbed against each other, making Yukino Yukinoshita's breathing even more disordered.

I'm about to lose control...

Even if you try to block it with a kiss, sounds will still escape.

"Don't move..." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed down on Dong Yunshan's hand, her voice gentle, "My sister is next door..."

Unfortunately, she had no strength left in her hands and could only hold Dong Yunshan 'Dong Yunshan hand, unable to move it away.

However, if you just press it down, the Dong Yunshan can still move with very small movements, little by little...

"Let's get down to business... um..." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, her large, watery eyes fixed on Dong Yunshan's expectant face, and softly called out in a sweet voice, "Husband~"

"Hmm~" Dong Yunshan stopped, satisfied.

Yukino Yukinoshita finally had the strength to control Dong Yunshan's arms, crossing his arms together and pressing them against his chest.

"You just mentioned correcting the Yukinoshita Family," Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her moist, glistening lips, steadying her voice to avoid arousing any other thoughts in Dong Yunshan, "What do you plan to do?"

Dong Yunshan's hand fiddled with the fluttering ruffles of her blue loungewear shorts. "The crux of the matter is, what does Yukinoshita Family want?"

"...continuation." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "The continuation of status, the continuation of wealth, the continuation of resources."

Dong Yunshan blinked. "That explains why my father-in-law has been a county councilor for so long, but has never run for county magistrate."

Simply put, there is only one county magistrate, but many county councilors.

The county magistrate has the power to take the lead, while the county councilors have the power to supervise.

The county governor represents the overall interests of the county, while county councilors represent the interests of their constituencies or industries.

For example, the construction industry.

"Self-preservation," Yukino Yukinoshita murmured. "The Yukinoshita Family's move from business to politics wasn't for further advancement, but rather to have the ability to protect themselves in the current downturn in the construction industry. The influence of a prefectural assembly member is enough, but becoming the prefectural governor requires a greater investment and carries greater risks."

How big is the difference between the two?

Members of parliament don't even need to compete; they are automatically elected without any rivals.

Candidates for governor must pay a deposit of 3 million yen, which is refundable only if they receive 10% or more of the vote. The maximum campaign cost is nearly 60 million yen.

"Those who act with self-preservation in mind will naturally tend to be conservative, and the stronger their control, the easier it is for them to gain support." Dong Yunshan's hand was itching to move beneath the edge of the lotus leaf. "After all, what's most needed for maintaining the status quo is stability."

Yukino Yukinoshita shifted uncomfortably as the events in the bathroom gradually came to mind, making her hands grow weaker and weaker. "You want the Yukinoshita Family... to have further ambitions, like having Father run for governor, in order to weaken Mother's control?"

"Let my father-in-law run for office? I have no intention of getting involved in that kind of thing." Dong Yunshan didn't seem interested in delving deeper. "As long as we focus on the core of the Yukinoshita Family, we can achieve something."

Yukino Yukinoshita held her breath. "You... um... are you sure?"

"The key lies in the gradual approach of Cloud Snow Tea." Dong Yunshan never intended to achieve everything at once. "First, we will use Chiba Flavor to integrate Chiba Prefecture's resources on a small scale, then gradually activate its potential through profits, share the results to incite the ambitions of various parties, and obtain further investment."

In summary, the steps are: first gently gather the ingredients, then slowly twist them, and finally rub and pick them up again.

This rhythm is very subtle and requires careful attention; one slip and it's over...

"Ahhh~" Yukino Yukinoshita leaned down and bit Dong Yunshan's shoulder, her warm breath mixed with a soft, low voice, "Aren't you... aren't you afraid that I... aren't you afraid that the Yukinoshita Family will do this?"

"No matter what we do, we can't completely avoid the risks." Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's back to soothe her trembling. "But my mother-in-law's arrangements are too good. Even if something really happens, I still have the option of marrying into the family as a safety net."

"But what if..." Yukino Yukinoshita turned slightly and kissed Dong Yunshan's ear, "And they caught you red-handed?"

"Hiss~" Thinking of the possibility of Group 371, Dong Yunshan's body stiffened. "This... I need to think about it carefully."

"The same technique can be used by the Yukinoshita Family as well." Yukino Yukinoshita exhaled softly, brushing against Dong Yunshan's earlobe. "Or rather, they have already begun to use it."

You mean...?

"Your plan is good." Yukino Yukinoshita nestled in Dong Yunshan's arms, whispering a reminder, "But the initiative isn't in your hands. The Yukinoshita Family can advance or retreat at will, they can disrupt your rhythm, even... control your rhythm, they can go fast or slow as they please~"

"I also have things I can do." Dong Yunshan turned his head and kissed Yukino Yukinoshita lips.

"Hmm... hmm~" After a long while, Yukino Yukinoshita reluctantly parted from him, her voice tinged with reproach and complaint, "We were talking seriously."

"Serious? Of course it's serious." Dong Yunshan's Adam's apple bobbed. "Let me think..."

"The Yukinoshita Family won't stop just because you're thinking," Yukino Yukinoshita whispered in his ear. "On the contrary, they'll intensify their efforts... and keep pushing your limits... provoking you again and again..."

Dong Yunshan's voice was hoarse. "I... I'll hold on."

"Can you really hold on?" Yukino Yukinoshita's weak voice drifted into Dong Yunshan's ears. "You should know very well what the help the Yukinoshita Family has provided means to you. If they suddenly stop helping..."

Dong Yunshan's breathing slowed slightly. "It's nothing serious."

Yukino Yukinoshita added, "And then suddenly you get a lot of help?"

Dong Yunshan held her breath for a moment before managing to speak with difficulty.

But before he could utter a sound, Yukino Yukinoshita sealed his mouth shut.

How exactly should we defend ourselves...?

Under the gentle onslaught, Dong Yunshan pondered hard, searching for a feasible solution.

Ultimately, however, the power Yukinoshita Family.

The crux of the problem... is the most pressing issue at present.

When necessary, Dong Yunshan needs to be prepared to give it their all.

Chapter 416 Leading the Newlyweds

"Thinking about it carefully, there's really no need to think of the Yukinoshita Family as something so terrible," Dong Yunshan said in a distant tone. "In the vast universe, we are all just insignificant dust."

"The universe?" Yukino Yukinoshita let Dong Yunshan massage her sore hands, giving him a questioning look. "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"It came to me from the heart." Dong Yunshan gently kneaded Yukino Yukinoshita and delicate hands.

The rounded nails gleam with a healthy shine, and the soft, rosy fingertips are warm and delicate.

"That's true..." Yukino Yukinoshita leaned against Dong Yunshan's chest, her other hand loosely clenched into a fist, her index finger knuckle resting on her fair chin, her icy blue eyes gazing at the raging wind and rain outside the window. "But actually, the difference in strength isn't that significant, because your plan isn't to confront the Yukinoshita Family, but to guide Yukinoshita Family to change spontaneously. And that takes time..."

Dong Yunshan is unable to reciprocate the resources of the Yukinoshita Family within a certain timeframe, then Project Yukinoshita will be a victory.

However, if Dong Yunshan proves the feasibility of the new direction first, it will be able to correct the situation of the Yukinoshita Family.

The resources have always been available at the Yukinoshita Family.

The feasibility of this new direction, however, needs time to be verified.

This verification must be completed before a specific timeframe.

And that point in time is... marriage.

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips and gently hugged Dong Yunshan: "Actually, we could postpone it a little longer..."

"No," Dong Yunshan said firmly, "I can't wait."

Yukino Yukinoshita had already guessed that he would say that.

Dong Yunshan must have realized the crucial factor of timing, which is why he proposed at this time.

"The wedding is just a formality." Yukino Yukinoshita twisted her body slightly. "What's the difference between us now and being married? We've even been divorced once."

Dong Yunshan muttered softly, "There are still differences..."

Yukino Yukinoshita blinked her watery eyes, her voice weak. "You want to wait until after the wedding... right?"

"That would be even more perfect..."

"I told you I'd gone too far with your corrections." Yukino Yukinoshita gently bumped Dong Yunshan's chest. "Now you're so focused on form and perfection, but you're only pursuing perfection in form—you've fallen for it."

Dong Yunshan was taken aback. "What plan?"

"When my mother called before, she guessed you were with me." Yukino Yukinoshita's fingertips traced circles on Dong Yunshan's chest. "But she only reminded us not to go too far, without doing anything further to stop us, as long as it was within our means."

Indeed... Dong Yunshan pondered deeply.

Whenever Yukino's mother came to the apartment in person, she would stare coldly at Dong Yunshan, who was living there, and then order Yukino Yukinoshita to move back home.

Neither Yukino Yukinoshita nor Dong Yunshan had any reason to stop it.

After all, the two are not married yet.

Why wasn't that done?

Dong Yunshan murmured, "So that... we'll think she's tacitly approved of our current situation?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gently poked Dong Yunshan's heart with her delicate white fingertips. "If we do this every day now, you'll look forward to married life more and more, and want to get married sooner, further shortening this crucial period of time."
