Yukinoshita's Correction Method
"Ah... um..." Dong Yunshan organized her thoughts, "Teacher Hiratsuka wants to help Sister Haruno, and you also want to offer your help, but if I get involved, it might cause further conflict. Most importantly, we need to ascertain Sister Haruno's own thoughts—that's roughly it?"
"...Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently.
Thinking about all this, her heart grew heavy, and even the strange feeling in her body and the unspeakable shame seemed to lessen slightly...
It doesn't seem to be weakening at all.
Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her lips together tightly and secretly clenched her small fists.
"The situation is indeed a bit complicated..." Dong Yunshan tapped her temples lightly with two fingers together, "But it's not entirely hopeless."
Chapter 746 The Suffering Wife
All eyes were on Dong Yunshan, filled with undisguised astonishment.
Yui Yuigahama her mouth as if to say something, but then remembered that she had said the wrong thing twice just now, and covered her mouth again.
"First published on 705u. com - Book Club"
"You really have a way?" Komachi Hikigaya exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of you!"
Seeing that Yukino Yukinoshita didn't seem inclined to speak, Saki Kawasaki said for her, "It can't be the kind of illegal or disorderly conduct."
"That's the last resort..." Dong Yunshan clapped her hands, "Before discussing solutions--"
Almost instantly upon hearing that crisp sound, Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively covered her rounded breasts, which were covered by her pleated skirt.
So all the attention that was originally focused on Dong Yunshan turned to Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Why are you looking at me?" Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, pressed her hands down on her skirt, and sat down on the chair.
"No..." Yui Yuigahama looked away. "It's nothing."
Yukino Yukinoshita glared fiercely at Dong Yunshan: "Why did you stop?"
"I suddenly lost inspiration." Dong Yunshan blinked. "How about..."
He opened his arms. "Shall we recreate what we were doing just now?"
"You...!" Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks, about to accuse him of his nonsense, when suddenly a possibility occurred to her.
Yukino Yukinoshita completely helpless in the face of the current problem.
And the current problem is largely related to her.
So, Dong Yunshan, who had a plan, specifically asked her to sit on her lap, actually wanting to use the excuse of inspiration to make her feel a little involved in solving the problem?
Thinking of this, Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, got up and sat sideways on Dong Yunshan's lap, lowering her head and pretending that no one else was watching.
Like a wronged little wife.
Dong Yunshan was genuinely surprised that Yukino Yukinoshita spoiled him so much. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, trying to calm himself down and organize his thoughts. "Simply put, the Yukinoshita Family needs an heir. So let's first define what an heir is? Or rather... why does the Yukinoshita Family need an heir?"
"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama was a little confused. "Yeah, why?"
The more obvious something seems, the harder it is to explain why.
Why does one plus one equal two? Why do people live? Why are these questions so important?
These most familiar and basic things are precisely the most difficult to explain.
Because these things form the cornerstone of our understanding of the world, we lose our basic points of reference when interpreting these cornerstones.
"In order to..." Saki Kawasaki began tentatively, "Maintain the existing resources?"
"That's right. My teacher told me what Sister Haruno told her about my mother-in-law... People who aren't truly involved tend to personify a group, while the reality is often much more complex." Dong Yunshan wagged her finger. "Interestingly, people within a group often need to personify a part of that group to simplify communication."
"You mean..." Yukino Yukinoshita followed Dong Yunshan's train of thought and pondered further, "The successor is the nexus of this personification?"
"Precise," Dong Yunshan further explained, "The Yukinoshita Family is not just a family, but also a trust intermediary node. Spreading out from this center is a network of interests built up over decades through political and business relationships, industry alliances, and regional ties—this network needs a widely recognized and trusted face to maintain its operation. All cooperation, compromises, and intelligence exchanges need to be completed through the interaction of this trustworthy face."
"Without an heir, the network of interests will lose its hub and quickly depreciate and disintegrate," Komachi Hikigaya murmured. "Everything the Yukinoshita Family owns will crumble in a very short time."
"That's why the family needs an heir. And then there's the second question." Dong Yunshan shook his finger. "Why does the family need an excellent heir?"
Yukino Yukinoshita had pondered this countless times before immediately offering her answer, "The heir is essentially the representative of the family. Their personal abilities are a reflection of the family's abilities, their displayed values are an interpretation of the family's values, and their words and actions constantly reinforce and reproduce the family brand—representing the family's strength and potential."
"A family needs excellent successors to continue its lineage, but cultivating excellent successors is not easy. Why go to such great lengths?" Dong Yunshan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Or to put it more bluntly, why does a family need to continue? What is the significance of a family's continuation?"
The more something seems obvious, the harder it is to explain why.
Dong Yunshan stated his answer directly, "Existence itself has meaning. Every second the family continues means that the efforts of the previous second were meaningful. In order to make everything we are doing now meaningful, the family must continue."
Yukino Yukinoshita's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Dong Yunshan's answer was biased, but it could indeed explain a lot.
"A credible hub of the network of interests, a representative of the family brand, and a successor to the family's legacy... The family needs a person who can fulfill all three roles simultaneously, that is, an heir." Dong Yunshan tapped his temples with two fingers together. "In other words, as long as these three core needs are met, whatever you do will not have a real conflict with the Yukinoshita Family."
"That's what they say..." Yui Yuigahama was completely confused. "How exactly do I do it?"
"As long as Sister Haruno's desired actions meet these three core needs, that's fine. Or... go a step further." Dong Yunshan's lips curled up, "Let her create enormous profits from what she wants to do. Let her transform from a pivot to a core, from a spokesperson to a manager, from a writer to a pioneer, and all problems will be solved."
"That's true..." Komachi Hikigaya muttered softly, "What if what she likes doesn't generate much profit?"
"Now it's my turn to shine." Dong Yunshan pointed to himself. "Her interests, combined with my abilities, and supplemented by the resources of the Yukinoshita Family —a similar combination last time was called Cloud Snow Tea."
"It seems like it might actually work...?" Saki Kawasaki wasn't entirely sure either, "But then—"
"We need to know what my sister is thinking." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "If someone can help her solve the family inheritance problem, what exactly does she want to do?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka wanted to help her student.
Yukino Yukinoshita wants to help her older sister.
All of this is predicated on determining Haruno Yukinoshita's thoughts.

"Something came up..." Yukino Yukinoshita sat at the dining table, her gaze shifting from the message her sister had sent, past the sumptuous meal on the table, and meeting Dong Yunshan's eyes. "She said she can't come."
"We can't rush things," Dong Yunshan gently comforted her. "We've only just come up with an idea yet, so let's refine it further before we tell her."
"...Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently. "Let's eat first."
After having dinner and cleaning up, Yukino Yukinoshita sat on the sofa staring at her phone.
What are you looking at?
"Travel-related content." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "My sister and I have similar hobbies; we both like reading and horseback riding. It's just that I prefer to stay at home during my holidays, while she prefers spontaneous travel."
Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "So... traveling is what she wants to do?"
"That's possible, but..." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly, "I feel like this is more like a manifestation of her desire to leave her family and break free from her original identity."
"A sense of freedom in an unfamiliar environment?"
"Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita leaned gently against Dong Yunshan. "So... I don't know what she really wants to do either."
"Maybe she doesn't even know it herself." Dong Yunshan put his arm around Yukino Yukinoshita's shoulder and shook her gently. "Before I met you, I didn't know I needed you so much."
"Don't say things like that again..." Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her icy blue eyes slightly upward. "Have you forgotten that we're at home right now?"
"Uh... so?"
"If you say something that makes someone's heart flutter, you have to take responsibility." Yukino Yukinoshita put her phone on the coffee table, turned her slender body around, and sat on Dong Yunshan's lap. She skillfully wrapped her arms around his neck and lowered her head to kiss his lips.
Their intertwined breaths and mingled body temperatures caused their bodies to tremble involuntarily. Yukino Yukinoshita reluctantly stopped speaking, her icy blue eyes fixed on Dong Yunshan's eyes. "During the kiss, I remembered something important."
"What?"
"You hit me today." Yukino Yukinoshita said sternly, emphasizing in a cold voice, "Three times."
"Ah... this..." Dong Yunshan's gaze shifted. "You're welcome?"
"Ouch!" Frustrated Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her head and bit his shoulder.
She couldn't bear to bite too hard, but biting too lightly wouldn't have the effect of a warning or accusation.
So she chose a gesture that looked like she was putting in a lot of effort to express her feelings.
Like a cat biting its prey and tearing at it with all its might, Yukino Yukinoshita twisted and turned slightly to show just how hard she was trying.
On her shoulder was Yukino Yukinoshita's gentle bite, so light it felt like a kiss; on her chest was a clear, synchronized heartbeat; in her arms was a slender body wriggling adorably, bringing soft rubbing against her.
Dong Yunshan's heart pounded even faster, Yukino Yukinoshita's slender waist, slipped.
"Ugh!" Yukino Yukinoshita's memories were awakened, and the moment a strange feeling arose, her body stiffened.
Thankfully, this time the Dong Yunshan wasn't hit, but rather gently massaged...
Oops.
The Yukino Yukinoshita discovered belatedly.
At home, she could always make Dong Yunshan take on the responsibility that moved her heart.
Dong Yunshan can also make her heart flutter even more at any time.
Yukino Yukinoshita twisted slightly, like a cat preparing to hunt, trying to break free from Dong Yunshan's grasp.
But Dong Yunshan's hand followed him like a shadow, even going so far as to take advantage of him...
It was as if all his strength had been drained away by him.
Yukino Yukinoshita, unable to move any longer, nestled Mianmian against his chest, complaining in a soft voice, "Terrible~"
"Speaking of which..." Dong Yunshan suddenly remembered something from a long time ago, "So, I guess I kept my word?"
"Hmm~~~?" Yukino Yukinoshita's question was unusually subtle at this moment.
"Do you remember the first time we met?" Dong Yunshan chuckled. "You fell flat on your backside, and I even offered to rub it for you."
"You dare bring this up again!" Yukino Yukinoshita still felt a pang of pain when she thought about it, and glared at him angrily. "If you hadn't suddenly walked in..."
What will happen?
"I can..." Yukino Yukinoshita's confidence faltered, "I can fall less heavily."
Dong Yunshan suppressed a laugh, "It seems that's the case. I'll make it up to you now."
Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed, "So you really mean what you say?"
Yukino Yukinoshita means that she is only now fulfilling what she said so long ago.
The understanding of Dong Yunshan is slightly different.
Dong Yunshan said at the time:
"Let me see... I'll massage it for you... You should rest on your own."
He allowed Yukino Yukinoshita, and he succeeded.
He massaged it for her; he did.
There's still one thing to be done...
"That makes sense." Dong Yunshan grabbed Yukino Yukinoshita's skirt. "There's also [let me see].
"That's not what I meant..." Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to correct Dong Yunshan's misunderstanding, but it was too late.
Dong Yunshan turned her around while holding her, and the two switched positions. Yukino Yukinoshita sat on the sofa, while Dong Yunshan had already placed her pleated skirt aside.
Yukino Yukinoshita braced herself against the sofa with both hands, trying to adjust her posture.
As soon as her rounded figure, no longer covered by the pleated skirt, moved a short distance from the sofa, Dong Yunshan seized the opportunity and helped her move the waistband of her pantyhose up to her thigh.
Yukino Yukinoshita's faint gasp had barely escaped her lips when her pantyhose bunched up at the back of her legs.
Dong Yunshan grasped her slender ankle and applied slight pressure.
Yukino Yukinoshita flushed red, and she frantically tried to cover herself with her helpless little hands, but she could only cover part of it.
Dong Yunshan is a promise-maker... a promise-maker.
Yukino Yukinoshita's obscuring of the view did not spoil the beauty of the scene; on the contrary, it added a touch of subtlety and restraint to the already beautiful picture.
"You..." Yukino Yukinoshita's legs trembled slightly, her voice weak, "Have you seen enough?"
"I'm trying," Dong Yunshan said hoarsely, "But it doesn't seem to be working..."
How could I possibly get enough of looking at it?
No matter how long I watch...
"You're not allowed to look anymore." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly. "We have other things to do."
For example, some serious matters, and some...
Dong Yunshan gently took Yukino Yukinoshita's hand and placed it on the folds of her pantyhose.
