Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Father-in-law, Swimsuit and Mansion

"Sakura, Sakura-kun, the food... the food is going to get cold..."

"Little Hanabi is still warm."

"Sakura-kun... you’re saying strange things again..."

"Your little shoe fell off."

Hanamaru Hanabi turned her head, her hazy violet eyes reflected her tender feet wrapped in black knee-high socks.

The air conditioner swaying up and down could barely dissipate some of the warm breath from her mouth.

"Sakura-kun..."

As the girl turned her head, her cherry lips were gently bitten.

The soft touch made the whole person sink into it.

...

Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her cute face, the light sweat already making her black sailor suit utterly disheveled.

"Sakura-kun... didn’t you say we should maintain a sense of distance..."

In this state, the sound of rain outside the room was particularly clear.

"Intimate contact is also a sense of distance."

The itchy feeling came from the delicate, soft waist being caressed by both hands.

...

The girl’s beautiful eyes blinked continuously, gazing at him, murmuringly said:

"Sakura-kun... aren’t we continuing...?"

The weak voice was as thin as a wisp, and her heart was like a fawn flustered and beating wildly.

Uesugi Sakura smiled, turned around to pick up a piece of sushi from the coffee table, and put it into her soft lips, "Sense of distance."

Then he bent down, picked up the little shoe, and supported the girl’s tender foot wrapped in black knee-high socks, looking into her shy eyes.

Slowly... slipped it inside smoothly.

"All done, let’s eat."

——————

At the Hanamaru home.

For some reason, Uesugi Sakura always felt a heavy heart when facing his father-in-law.

There was an... intangible pressure...

When he interrogated criminals and criticized subordinates as the Police Chief, did he also have this aura?

Hanamaru Hanabi carefully poured three cups of hot tea and placed them in front of her parents and Uesugi Sakura.

Hanamaru Hiroki wore particularly neat casual clothes, his expression seemed ordinary, he lifted the cup, took a sip of the hot tea poured by his daughter, and said: "In my eyes, there’s nowhere you match with Hanabi, kid."

Mrs. Hanamaru, with long hair draped over her shoulders, nudged him with her elbow, "Alright, alright, stop being so stubborn."

"Cough, cough, don’t interrupt me, Mom."

As the son-in-law, Uesugi Sakura had to give face to his father-in-law, "I think so too."

After setting down the plate, Hanamaru Hanabi sat beside Uesugi Sakura, lowered her head, the inside of her thighs pressed together, trapping her small hands.

—She had changed into a small formal dress that covered part of her neck.

Hanamaru Hiroki held the tea cup in his right hand, glancing at his daughter too afraid to look at him, "Why is Hanabi dressed so formally at home?"

"Ah...?"

Hanamaru Hanabi’s eyes flitted evasively, buried her head low, instinctively reaching out a hand to pull up the collar a little to cover her snowy neck, "Dad... Dad said he wanted to talk to Sakura-kun, so Hanabi changed into something a bit more formal."

Her little actions were naturally noticed by her father.

Hanamaru Hiroki couldn’t help sighing, his little sweetheart had only been warm for a few years before it was gone.

He quickly put on a stern face to Uesugi Sakura, "Little Hanabi is only 15, you... understand what I mean, right?"

"Understood." Uesugi Sakura nodded earnestly.

Hanamaru Hanabi turned her head to sneak a peek at him, recalling his warm hands on her waist, then shyly lowered her head again.

All reactions were seen by the Hanamaru couple.

Although they were prepared, Hanamaru Hiroki, who had always doted on Hanabi, still couldn’t help feeling heavy-hearted.

"Take good care of Hanabi, even though I know what kind of person you are, I still have to warn you a few words.

"No cheating, no domestic violence, there’s never been talk of divorce in the Hanamaru family, once you’re engaged, you have to take responsibility to the end."

"Understood."

Hanamaru Hiroki sighed again, "I won’t say too much, next comes the real deal."

"Yes."

"What’s your plan for the future?"

"To get into Tokyo U."

"And then?"

"Civil servant."

"Since you want to be a civil servant, after passing the exam and graduating, you can come work for me," Hanamaru Hiroki said.

"Become a cop?"

"Don’t want to?" Hanamaru Hiroki noticed he seemed somewhat reluctant.

Uesugi Sakura hesitated for a moment, "Yeah... I could, but could I be assigned to the Life Security Department?"

The Life Security Department handles non-violent cases.

Family disputes, missing children, juvenile delinquent crimes all count.

"You want to be a cop just to deal with this?" Hanamaru Hiroki set down the tea cup, steam rising from the tea.

"I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it."

"..." Hanamaru Hiroki pondered for a moment, "Fine, the Life Security Department is comparatively safer, but your term probably won’t be long there."

"Why?" Uesugi Sakura didn’t understand.

Hanamaru Hiroki glanced at him once, took another sip of tea, "A career track recruit from Tokyo U has been sent to the Life Security Department to mediate family disputes, help Tokyo citizens find cats and dogs, do you think this is possible?"

"Can I not join the career group?"

"It’s a sheer waste of your Tokyo U graduate status, might as well not be a cop."

Hanamaru Hiroki realized his son-in-law seemed to lack ambition.

"It’s not necessary for you to become a cop, considering marrying Hanabi, you must show economic strength. A career is a prerequisite unless you marry into the Hanamaru family."

"Can I?" Uesugi Sakura tried to ask.

Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly lifted her head and interjected, "Sakura-kun doesn’t need to do this, Hanabi can support Sakura-kun."

"..."

The father-in-law’s career suggestion, came to nothing.

However, he indeed agreed to their early engagement.

The daughter’s marriage symbolizes the end of the road for a father with a daughter complex.

Uesugi Sakura didn’t know what kind of mood his father-in-law was in, but thinking about it carefully, with a little sister almost born, his father-in-law wouldn’t be too sad, right?

Even though they still didn’t know if it will be a daughter.
