Yukinoshita's Correction Method

For example, wanting the other person to go faster, not stop, to do it again, or to try a more intimate position...

"What we did was..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips, her face flushing, "It was something else entirely."

"What I mean is, it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable in this situation, and it's understandable that your mother-in-law and Sister Haruno are taking this approach." Dong Yunshan stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's soft little hand. "If they directly ask for help, it seems like the situation would be quite awkward if we can't help them."

"Mmm." Yui Yuigahama nodded in deep agreement. "Some of my friends initially tested each other in this way, since they didn't know much about each other's abilities and thoughts. But things got better as they got to know each other better."

Komachi Hikigaya's adorable smile revealed her mischievous little fangs, "Just like Yunshan used to say..."

Saki Kawasaki chimed in, "There always has to be a process."

"Am I being too hasty? I always think that our relationship will change immediately after marriage," Yukino Yukinoshita murmured softly, then her gaze hardened. "Since there has to be a process, we should find a suitable way to shorten it."

Dong Yunshan: "For example?"

"For example, unless it's said directly, we shouldn't pay attention to any hints or suggestions." Yukino Yukinoshita said sternly, "This is a necessary corrective measure for the current situation."

Chapter 869 What kind of recklessness is this?

"Welcome back..." Snow Mother's eyes flickered slightly, and she pressed her slender fingers to her temples as if she had a headache. "Why did you buy so much stuff again?"

"This isn't all what we bought," Dong Yunshan said, carrying shopping bags as she and Yukino Yukinoshita entered the house. "Our friends heard we're staying here now, so they asked us to bring them over."

"There's no such rule..." Mother Yuki sighed softly, her gentle gaze fixed on Yukino Yukinoshita. "You must be those children. It would be nice if you could come visit sometime. We've been so grateful for their help all this time."

"Mm." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently, "When the opportunity arises."

Yukino's mother accepted the gift and walked inside with the two of them, a hint of melancholy in her eyes. "I had always hoped that Yukino would bring her friends back someday for a get-together... I never imagined that I would have to wait so long, until you're already married."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. She had never even had friends before, let alone hosting a party at home.

Now that I have a boyfriend/girlfriend and am married, it doesn't seem quite appropriate to bring her to my parents' home for a gathering.

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan pointed to herself, "Don't you still have me? Boyfriends are friends too."

"... Yes, and you too." Mother Xue chuckled softly. "But Mom has been waiting for you for a long time too."

"Speaking of which..." Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered, "I have some interesting ideas about Cloud Snow Tea."

Snow Mother paused slightly. "Oh?"

"How about this?" Dong Yunshan's lips curled up. "Could you please ask your mother-in-law to make some preparations for tomorrow? Yukino and I will invite some friends over so we can all discuss the details of the subsequent activities."

Yukino Yukinoshita stared blankly at Dong Yunshan: "Is this really okay?"

"After all, it's a trade secret, so we need to find a reliable place." Dong Yunshan blinked. "But a place that's too formal might affect everyone's train of thought. I feel that the tea room at home is just right, and we can also see the view of the courtyard. When we're in a good mood, we can naturally come up with better ideas."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly and tightened her grip on Dong Yunshan's hand.

He always finds a way...

"Mom," Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at her mother, "Is it alright?"

"Of course." Snow's mother's lips moved, finally forming a complex smile. "Tell me about their hobbies later, and Mom will prepare accordingly."

"No need..." Yukino Yukinoshita started to say, but then noticed the expectation in her mother's eyes and nodded as if she understood. "Okay, I'll explain it to you in detail later."

"Hmm~" Snow Mother nodded gently and called out, "Yunshan."

Dong Yunshan responded, "Should I say it too? I don't think I know as much as Yukino does."

"You understand other people's thoughts best," Xue's mother said with a doting tone. "I just suddenly remembered that there's a photo album at home..."

Yukino Yukinoshita blinked, then suddenly realized something and panicked. "Mom!"

"What's wrong?" Xue's mother's adorable smile carried a mischievousness that Dong Yunshan was very familiar with. "You're married now, and you're still afraid to let Yunshan see you?"

"No... I... that..." Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, then glared fiercely at Dong Yunshan.

"Mother-in-law," Dong Yunshan said innocently, "Your daughter is glaring at me."

"That's none of my business." Snow Mother's steps quickened. "You two can talk it out yourselves."

"You dare to complain to my mother..." Yukino Yukinoshita placed her small hand on Dong Yunshan's waist, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "Now that she doesn't care, let's see what you do!"

"That's not right..." Dong Yunshan blinked. "Your mother-in-law doesn't care about you or me. You should think about... what you're going to do."

Yukino Yukinoshita froze, vivid images of Dong Yunshan tormenting her flashing through her mind. Her fair cheeks flushed red at a visible speed. "You... you better not do anything rash!"

"Hmm~" Dong Yunshan kissed her on the cheek, "Is this considered reckless?"

"This..." Yukino Yukinoshita considered it seriously for a moment, her pink cheeks puffing out slightly, "Anyway, you're not allowed to do anything reckless."

"Reckless behavior?" Haruno Yukinoshita suddenly leaned closer. "What reckless behavior? How is it reckless? Who wants to reckless behavior?"

Yukino Yukinoshita put on a stern face. "... It's nothing."

"Oh~" Haruno Yukinoshita drawled, "Looks like my cute little sister is going to cause trouble."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "No way!"

After Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita returned home, Haruno Yukinoshita asked them what they wanted to eat and then began preparing dinner.

Halfway through the preparations, Xue's father, who had been busy for several days, finally had time to go home and rest.

As Xue's mother came out to greet him and they entered the house, Xue's father immediately looked towards the living room.

Although he was mentally prepared, the old father still felt a pang in his heart when he saw Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan on the living room sofa.

"Yunshan?" Haruno Yukinoshita's voice came from the kitchen. "Should I put less salt in it for you? I guess you can't eat too much salt when you're working out?"

"I'm fine," Dong Yunshan replied. "Just leave it as is."

"Then just wait and see~" Haruno Yukinoshita and cheerful.

Xue's father. "..."

Two sips.

"Father-in-law," Dong Yunshan stood up and greeted him, "Welcome back."

Yukino Yukinoshita greeted him, "Father."

"Hmm." Already exhausted, Xue's father became even more weary. Looking at the newlyweds, he suddenly felt many years older. "I've been busy these past few days and haven't been able to come back—I'll go change my clothes first."

As they went upstairs and into the bedroom, the suits he used to wear now felt unusually heavy on Xue's father.

After slowly changing into his casual clothes, Xue's father sighed and walked down the steps one by one.

When I sigh, I always hope to exhale the pent-up frustration in my heart.

But when I sighed, I felt a deep sense of loss, as if I had lost something.

Now that things have come to this... let's eat first.

A sumptuous meal was served. Xue's father asked about the couple's recent situation and expressed his concern for them. After that, he didn't know what else to say.

Although he had long understood his wife's controlling nature, it was only at this moment that Xue's father truly experienced the bewilderment that followed the loss of control.

If Dong Yunshan marries into the family, Xue's father, as someone with experience, could talk about future developments and the family business.

But Dong Yunshan did not marry into the family, so his future depends on his own efforts.

As an elder, I want to say something helpful, but I'm worried about influencing the younger generation's judgment.

In the end, all that's left to say are correct but meaningless platitudes like "study hard."

Unspeakable nonsense.

Chapter 870 Try this

"How is it?" Haruno Yukinoshita asked, watching Dong Yunshan eat the tempura. "How's your cooking, sister?"

"Mmm!" Dong Yunshan ate a large piece in two bites. "It's so delicious! Why don't you come live with us, sister? That way we can eat such delicious food every day."

"Come on~" Haruno Yukinoshita rolled her eyes at Dong Yunshan, "You don't want to eat anything delicious, you just feel sorry for Yukino and want me to do all the hard work for you guys."

Dong Yunshan looked at Yukino Yukinoshita: "Was I too obvious?"

Yukino Yukinoshita helplessly, "There's still a lot of room for maneuver."

"She only does it occasionally," Xue's mother chuckled. "If you made her do it every day, she'd start to slack off."

"Mom~" Haruno Yukinoshita drawled, "At least simplify it a bit."

Snow Mother's voice was calm and unhurried. "Simplify things a little each day without any protests, right?"

"Since you've said that, there's bound to be a protest right away," Haruno Yukinoshita muttered softly. "I was hoping to have a couple of days of peace and quiet with them."

"You can always find a moment of peace and quiet." Yukino Yukinoshita stared at her older sister. "You don't want peace and quiet, you want to cause trouble."

Haruno Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan: "Was I too obvious?"

Dong Yunshan blinked. "There's a lot of room for convergence."

Xue's father. "..." The atmosphere is really nice.

There's just one person who seems a bit superfluous.

Who is it?

That's so hard to guess.

Xue's father ate his food in small bites, trying his best not to make any noise.

An unnecessary presence making unnecessary noise only makes one feel even more superfluous.

"By the way..." Xue's mother's eyes flickered, a hint of worry appearing on her face, "Why didn't you even have time to go home and rest this time?"

"There's already a lot going on since the new governor took office." Xue's father swallowed the food in his mouth and explained in a steady voice, "The new fiscal year budget submitted at the beginning of the month needs to be carefully reviewed and voted on by the members of parliament. In addition, there are other draft bills that also need to be reviewed. Then there's the policy speech and question-and-answer session... and of course, this has to happen at this time."

Xue's mother frowned slightly. "Something happened? At the company?"

"It's difficult to define," Xue's father said, unable to hide his worry. "It's a problem caused by the road construction."

Haruno Yukinoshita paused with her chopsticks in her hand. "Chiba New Prefectural Route Project?"

"Yes." Mr. Xue frowned. "The Chiba Prefecture commissioned the Urban Renaissance Agency to carry out a Chiba New Town prefectural road construction project in Shiroi City, Chiba Prefecture. The road is planned to pass right through the Satsuma Industries site."

"Satsuma Industries ...I remember that was already resolved at the time." Yuki recalled briefly, "There was industrial waste buried underground on that plot of land, and the agency spent far more on cleanup than the standard before the project even started."

"That's right." Mr. Xue nodded. "The cleanup fee itself was partly compensating, but new problems arose after the road construction began. Apparently, the vibrations from the road construction caused the company's office building to bend and tilt, and new industrial waste was discovered outside the planned construction area that needed to be disposed of."

Haruno Yukinoshita sneered, "Trying to raise prices on the spot?"

Snow Mother's voice became slightly stern. "Haruno Yukinoshita."

"That's how it is," Haruno Yukinoshita nonchalantly. "A compensation of two to two million six hundred thousand yen will settle things. The Urban Renaissance Agency's project profits are much higher than that."

"That's what the agency thinks too," Xue's father nodded. "But Satsuma Industries disagrees, believing that the agency's offer is far from enough to cover their actual losses."

"The only solution is through negotiation between the two parties." Xue's mother clarified the issue. "Have you been negotiating this matter for the past two days?"

"Both sides have contacted me, and I'm considering whether to intervene. I'm currently gathering relevant information," Mr. Xue frankly stated regarding the current predicament. "Satsuma Industries has some influence in Tokyo. If this matter can be resolved, many things will be much easier afterwards..."

Dong Yunshan quickly grasped the crux of the problem.

The Urban Renaissance Agency is a policy-oriented organization focused on urban and residential regeneration, and it has a dual role as both a public policy implementer and a market participant.

Therefore, construction companies that want to undertake public works projects need to cultivate good relationships with relevant organizations.

Especially the Yukinoshita Family, with its political and business background, is a construction company that mainly profits by contracting public works projects.

Satsuma Industries has resources in Tokyo and can also provide assistance to the Yukinoshita Family.

If the Yukinoshita Family can resolve this issue, their influence in Chiba will reach a new level.

But as the saying goes: Don't be a middleman, don't be a guarantor, and don't be a matchmaker for three generations.

Being a middleman isn't easy.

He faces both sides on one hand and supports both families on the other.

Conflicts lead to emotions, and emotions make communication difficult.

Therefore, the intermediary must not only ensure normal communication between the two parties, but also prevent either party from taking any extreme actions.

Especially during the crucial period when a new governor takes office.

If this gets out of hand, there might be even more trouble ahead.

Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered slightly, and she put down her chopsticks.

"Try this." Yukino Yukinoshita placed a piece of chicken thigh on Dong Yunshan's plate. "This is my sister's specialty."
