[Usually, your wife will always listen to your ideas unconditionally, but now, she shook her head without hesitation. Your heart trembles. 】

[She quickly senses her exposure through your expression, and she nervously holds Ling's arm and puts it on her lap, trying to divert your attention.] 】

[This trick of a hundred attempts has no effect now. 】

[You asked her if she didn't like Mayuri, she nodded lightly and looked at you cautiously. 】

[You can't blame her, blame can only hurt people, she is the person you love the most. You didn't mention it again. 】

[Yuko thought she had upset you, and tried to please you for several days, and when she confirmed that you didn't mean to blame her, she breathed a sigh of relief and stopped pretending. 】

[Except for the necessary feeding and cleaning up, she doesn't care about Mayuri's crying at all, once you pick up your daughter, she sticks to your side and competes with her for your attention. 】

[You are preparing for the civil service exam under your father's arrangement, and you don't have much time to take care of your daughter, and Yuko's pestering also makes you overwhelmed, so you finally made a decision. 】

[Mother and father came to the door and took Mayuri away. The couple liked this little granddaughter very much, and the request you gave them was exactly what they wanted. 】

A small memory flashed.

Under the hazy sky, Yuki Minami and Yuko Minami stood at the door of their house, watching their parents hold their daughter and walk to the car on the other side of the road.

Under the teasing of her grandmother, Mayuri giggled, and a blue flower was planted on the windowsill of the house across the road, and her daughter raised her little hand and kept grasping at the flowers in her field of vision, and she could only grasp the empty air.

The father opened the car door, and the mother put Mayuri on the baby seat in the back, and Mayuri sensed that something was wrong, she looked to the left and right, and couldn't find you, so she muttered anxiously, kicking her calves to resist.

Mother went up through the door on the other side to reassure Mayuri, and as the car started, Mayuri's cries drove quickly in front of you, into the alley under the dark sky.

"Yuki." Nanyuko took a step forward and grabbed her husband's hand uneasily.

Nan Yuxi turned his head and looked at his wife's delicate face, a white and pure face, with long eyebrows slightly frowned, and an uneasy flickering light in his eyes.

Compared to when I first met, there was a lot more expression on my wife's face. Although these expressions will only emerge because of him.

Nan Yuki touched her face, slightly hot fingers caressing her somewhat cold cheeks, leaning down and kissing her bloodless lips.

"Go home, wayward Yuko's mother." Nan Yuki took her hand.

"Hmm." The wife smiled shallowly.

[Mayuri is a small detector, she reminds you of Yuko's abnormality all the time, and now, she has left the house, and everything seems to be back to normal.] In every relationship, there is something more or less hidden, and as long as it is avoided from detection, it can be said that it does not exist. 】

[Yuko Ibuki found out about your loss, and being separated from her daughter is a big blow to you. She comforts you in her own way, and at night, she calls your dad. 】

[Since then, you have one more name.] 】

“……？”

Nan Yuki has not yet recovered from the sad emotions in the memory scene, and suddenly sees such a turn, and her heart is full of joy and sorrow, and she doesn't know which side to fall.

[You and your wife prepared for the exam together, passed the exam together, and became a government employee. Father walks around and lets you and Yuko stay in an institution, sitting in the same office. 】

[In the unit, you are still a model couple. 】

[Mayuri has gradually grown up, and every weekend, her mother will take her to your house to let you and Yuko meet her, and in front of her mother, Yuko shows the appearance of a good mother. 】

[When she entered Mayuri Kindergarten, her mother felt that she should no longer take care of her granddaughter, and that it was time for Mayuri to return to her father and mother. This was not out of boredom, but out of consideration of Mayuri's emotions, and the girl asked her more than once why she didn't stay with her parents like other children. 】

[Mother thinks that you and Yuko gave her Mayuri because the baby was troublesome, and Mayuri, who went to kindergarten, already has a preliminary ability to take care of herself, and will not bother you anymore. 】

[You have the mentality of trying it out, and you take back the truth. 】

[Things are not going well, a few years have passed, and Yuko's situation has not only not improved, but has become even more excessive. She treats her daughter as air, never takes the initiative to talk to her, Mayuri accosted her a few times, and when she was indifferent, she didn't want to be close to her anymore, and wanted to stick to your side, but Yuko always pulled you away and interrupted her closeness to you. 】

[Mayuri stayed at home and did not suffer from material shortages, on the contrary, Yuko was happy to use new toys and new clothes to keep her daughter from pestering you, and she had a lot of valuable things in her house. 】

[But material things never give people real satisfaction, and the ideal really wants you and Yuko's love, which is something she can't get. 】

[The originally lively and cheerful girl gradually became silent. 】

[The mother, who comes once a week, noticed the change in her granddaughter, and she thought that you didn't know how to take care of the child and wanted to communicate with you. 】

[You ask her to bring Mayuri back.] 】

[Mother began to notice that something was wrong.] 】

[Three days later, she arrives with her sister, and her sister is out of the way, and she talks to you and asks you why. 】

[You didn't tell her, you only said that you and Yuko are not suitable for children. 】

[Mother angrily asks you, when can it be suitable, when was it in elementary school? ] When you were in middle school? You didn't answer. 】

[Yuko realized that her mother already knew something, she observed her mother's attitude, and found that the old man only sighed a little about it, and gradually stopped pretending to be a good mother on the weekend when she met with Mayuri. Not only that, but she also begins to look at you with pleading eyes, preventing you from getting close to Mayuri. 】

Looking at the analog text, Nan Yuxi covered her forehead, angry and funny.

This little senior sister is very good at judging the situation and making inches, first she tried her best to hide things, but she couldn't hide it, and when the incident happened, she found that everyone still loved her and tolerated her, so she simply didn't even do the face project.

If Nao Asano is an honest cat, then Yuko Ibuki is a cunning little fox.

[You can't refuse your wife's plea, every time you come over, you only get disappointment, and you are not as close to her as the neighbor's couple. 】

[Mother has reduced the number of times she brings Mayuri over.] 】

[You can't rest assured that your daughter will hide from you, and secretly meet with Mayuri, such a meeting must be hasty and short-lived, Mayuri is looking forward to your arrival, and complains about this cup of water's love. 】
