Yukinoshita's Correction Method

But that day was drawing ever closer...

Calm down, calm down.

We've met before...

They're completely different!

It was just a casual meeting before.

This time they came directly to our door!

Will the next meeting be between both sets of parents, and then they get engaged right away!?

This kind of thing...

"Maybe we shouldn't send Yunshan," Haruno Yukinoshita, leaning back on the sofa. "It seems like Dad isn't welcoming us at all."

"How could we not welcome him?" Snow's mother glanced at her daughter, then her gaze fell on her husband. "Even disregarding the relationship between Yunshan and Yukino, he is an important partner of yours, a guest who needs to be treated with respect—right?"

"... Yes." Xue's father squeezed out a difficult answer through clenched teeth.

That's right.

If we only consider the relationship between Dong Yunshan and her youngest daughter, it is indeed difficult to treat it with a normal attitude.

Or to put it more bluntly.

They are complete enemies.

However, from a business cooperation perspective, Dong Yunshan is merely the eldest daughter's business partner.

She was an exceptionally good partner who provided a lot of help to the Yukinoshita Family.

That should solve the problem... right?

December 31st is the day of great darkness.

Although we're going to the Yukinoshita Family New Year's in the afternoon, we still can't skip the necessary New Year's Eve activities.

Spring cleaning.

Thoroughly cleaning the home symbolizes driving away the bad luck of the old year and welcoming the New Year with a clean environment.

Dong Yunshan was in charge of moving the large items, Yukino Yukinoshita was in charge of cleaning the details, and Dong Yunxi was in charge of making things worse.

Because I'm used to tidying up, cleaning is very easy now.

By noon, the two had finished cleaning.

Dong Yunshan had originally planned to find a car, but Haruno Yukinoshita called and said she would drive over to pick them up in a little while, so they packed their things and waited at home.

Seemingly sensing Yukino Yukinoshita's worry, Dong Yunxi reached out her small hand and gently touched Yukino Yukinoshita's face. "Tap tap~"

Yukino Yukinoshita and gently nuzzled Shio's soft little hand. "We're going to your older sister's house today, aren't you happy?"

"Ya ya~" Xixi responded in a muffled voice.

"Why do you seem a little more nervous than me?" Dong Yunshan stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's smooth, long hair. "That's your house, after all."

Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly. "It's been so long since I've been back..."

And this time, I'm going back with Dong Yunshan.

"That's true..." Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered. "Then try a different approach."

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at him. "How do I switch?"

"Didn't we just go home together a few days ago?" Dong Yunshan blinked. "Treat your home as my home, just like going home with me again."

"How can you switch like that?" Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed. "Aren't you even a little bit nervous?"

"Let me tell you a little secret," Dong Yunshan lowered his voice, "As long as you're stubborn enough, you won't be nervous."

"... I thought you really weren't nervous."

"How could I not be nervous?" Dong Yunshan tugged at the corner of his mouth. "When I met with my father-in-law before, we were discussing a business collaboration. Having a plan was enough—but even with a plan, I still encountered difficulties."

"You weren't nervous when you met Mom before."

"We weren't even officially dating back then, so why would I be nervous? Besides, the food at that restaurant was so delicious, I didn't have time to be nervous," Dong Yunshan recalled. "But what really made me calm down wasn't the food..."

Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously, "What is that?"

Dong Yunshan: "The hand that touched my leg."

"You were just enjoying yourself, weren't you..." Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her angrily, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, you haven't touched her back yet."

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan immediately reached out her hand. "Didn't I already touch it back a long time ago? Every day..."

Snap!

Yukino Yukinoshita slapped Dong Yunshan's hand away. "What are you doing in front of the child?"

Dong Yunshan replied matter-of-factly, "Just stating the facts."

"Tap tap!" Dong Yunxi raised her little hand and patted Dong Yunshan's hand.

Dong Yunshan: "...?"

"Even Xixi can't stand it anymore." Yukino Yukinoshita took Shio-shii's hand. "Did it hurt?"

Dong Yunshan: "Shouldn't you be asking me that?"

Yukino Yukinoshita and said, "Forces are reciprocal."

Dong Yunshan: "Is that how you use that phrase?"

"You can't hit people, okay?" Yukino Yukinoshita held Shio's little hand earnestly, "That will..."

Snap!

A crisp sound rang out, Yukino Yukinoshita paused, turning to look at Dong Yunshan's hand on her lap. Then, her cold eyes narrowed as she stared at Dong Yunshan: "Hmm?"

"I'm just... cooperating with your teaching." Dong Yunshan coughed lightly and raised her hand to Dong Yunxi. "You hit me just now, didn't you?"

"Huh?" Dong Yunxi looked at Dong Yunshan with her adorable big eyes.

"Trying to be cute didn't work, "Dong Yunshan said with difficulty, giving her sister a light pat on the bottom. "Okay, that helped a little."

Chapter 675 Going Back to My Mother's Home

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "Don't hit her."

Dong Yunshan's expression froze. "This force isn't enough either?"

"She's too young to understand the action of hitting; she'll just think it's a game of give and take," Yukino Yukinoshita, pouting. "You'll corrupt her."

"Is there any way to remedy this?"

"Once is fine, she won't remember," Yukino Yukinoshita solemnly declared, "But you're not allowed to do that again."

"I've never hit you before," Dong Yunshan stated, "It's just that you need to be more careful."

"I..." Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, then suddenly realized that it seemed to be true, "I will..."

Dong Yunshan got up to open the door.

With undisguised anticipation on her face, Haruno Yukinoshita, "Let's go~ Back to my parents' house!"

--

"They'll be here soon." Snow Mother looked at her husband pacing back and forth. "Haven't you decided where to stand yet?"

Xue's father paused, "I... I was just worried about work."

"Then you should go and handle your work, instead of hesitating here." Snow Mother placed the food on the table. "I'll go call the driver."

"No need for that," Xue's father coughed lightly. "I just..."

"I don't know how to face this." Mother Xue slowly adjusted the plates. "A good son-in-law should be treated with courtesy. But this son-in-law has appeared far too early."

"Indeed." Xue's father tried to maintain a composed demeanor. "At least another year... three years or more would be just right."

"Even if it's really three years late, you'll still feel it's early." Mother Xue raised her eyes slightly. "I'm afraid that when they come back with the child, you'll still be just as hesitant as you are now."

"A... a child...?!" Xue's father clenched his fists, imagining that scene, and finally let out a long breath, "If they really come back with a child, I will be very happy."

That means Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita are already married... or at least engaged a long time ago.

What else could Xue's father possibly hesitate about?

Right!

Xue's father instantly understood. "If they come with their children, I will naturally greet them with a smile, but it's not the right time yet. Even if I'm a little strict, it's only right."

Sitting on the sofa, Xue's father adjusted his expression, trying to project a stern look.

Snow Mother shook her head helplessly, then suddenly heard the doorbell ring. "Has Haruno Yukinoshita forgotten his keys again?"

After glancing at her husband, who was sitting upright on the sofa, Xue's mother slowly walked down the corridor to the entrance and opened the door. "Welcome back...".

The moment the scene at the entrance came into view, even the mature and composed Xue Mu was momentarily stunned.

Has time really flown by?

The child is so big now...

"Mom~" Haruno Yukinoshita smiled mischievously, "I brought them~"

It wasn't that she forgot her keys, but rather that she deliberately didn't bring them... Snow's mother instantly saw through her eldest daughter's little scheme.

It's just so I can see my own surprised expression.

Such a big kid, still so mischievous.

With a headache, Xue Mu pressed her slender fingers to her temples and quickly composed herself.

"Mom..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips nervously, introducing the baby in her arms, "This is Yunshan's younger sister— Dong Yunxi."

"Happy New Year, Mother-in-law!" Dong Yunshan said, carrying a large pile of gifts. "Excuse me."

Now, calling her "mother-in-law" is... um? Xue's mother's gaze fell on the ring on her youngest daughter's hand, and she paused in thought.

I see...

"Don't buy so much next time." Snow Mother's eyes flickered. "Haruno Yukinoshita, help share the burden."

"Yunshan is very strong." Haruno Yukinoshita patted Dong Yunshan on the shoulder. "Besides, it shows more sincerity that he's carrying it all by himself."

"We saw Yunshan's sincerity even before we arrived." Snow Mother reached out to help Dong Yunshan with some of the burden. "What, you still don't think that's enough?"

"No way~" Haruno Yukinoshita, reaching out her hand.

"Come in quickly~" Mother Xue said softly, leading the way with a slight smile on her lips.

My eldest daughter is so naughty.

I wonder what kind of expression my husband will have later.

Hearing a faint sound from the entryway, Xue's father adjusted his posture on the sofa.

Should I turn my eyes first and then my head, or turn my head first and then my eyes?

Which type of pressure is stronger...?

How do you usually reprimand your subordinates?

Why can't I remember it when I need it?

Facial expression... the key is the facial expression.

You should have no expression.

Profound and serious.

Although this is somewhat cruel to young people.

But what can you do when the Dong Yunshan is so young?

My kind father-in-law, let's talk about this when you come with the baby.

Listening intently to the approaching footsteps, Xue's father closed his eyes and slowly circulated his inner energy.

It needs that kind of quiet, authoritative presence that can stop a child from crying.

His wife's gentle voice rang out, "They've arrived."
