Chapter 460: Chapter 404: The Clown is Actually Me? Time for a Big Move (Seeking Monthly Pass)

February 6, Saturday, was Aoyama Xiu Xin’s first weekend in Hokkaido. He had planned to sleep in, but unexpectedly had visitors.

"Brother Zexi, Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"

Standing in the living room and looking at the couple in front of him, who seemed like a perfect match, Aoyama Xiu Xin was surprised. Without waiting for their response, he asked another question, "Brother, are you here on a business trip?"

"It’s your sister-in-law. She insisted on coming to Hokkaido to see the snow and to see how you’re settling in here," Asai Zexi answered with a helpless expression.

However, Aoyama Xiu Xin saw a signal in his eyes that only the two of them could understand. Did Iihara Nishi think the time was right to stage a scene to catch Asai Zexi in the act and ignite a conflict?

Asai Zexi, with a doting look, touched Iihara Nishi’s belly, "She’s pregnant now, she’s the boss at home, and I have to listen to her."

Aoyama Xiu Xin’s face changed subtly. Sister-in-law was pregnant, but was the child his or his brother-in-law’s?

He instinctively looked at Iihara Nishi.

Iihara Nishi blinked subtly at him and said while touching her belly, "What, aren’t you going to congratulate me, Xiu Xin? You are the child’s uncle after all."

She wasn’t sure whether the child was Aoyama Xiu Xin’s or Asai Zexi’s, but that didn’t stop her from implying to Aoyama Xiu Xin that the child was his.

An unexpected pregnancy, this was not part of her plan.

But Iihara Nishi was possessed by a desire for revenge, feeling that being caught in adultery while pregnant would even more infuriate Asai Zexi.

Thus, she did not resent this timely child, seeing it as a tool for revenge.

"I’m just a bit surprised. Congratulations to both of you on the forthcoming new addition," Aoyama Xiu Xin covered his unsettling emotions with a light laugh.

He was a bit nervous inside. Brother-in-law might not care about him sleeping with his wife, but he certainly would care about whose child she was carrying. After all, in his eyes, Iihara Nishi’s only role was to be a breeding machine.

"The surprise sure came very suddenly," Asai Zexi said with a blissful smile, then withdrew his hand from Iihara Nishi’s belly, "Got a cigarette? I haven’t smoked since your sister-in-law got pregnant. Let’s go out for a bit."

"Of course," Aoyama Xiu Xin knew he wanted a private talk, grabbed the cigarette pack from the coffee table and said to Aoyama Haruko, "Sister-in-law, please entertain Sister Nishi for a bit, I’m going to take Brother out for some air."

"Okay!" Aoyama Haruko nodded obediently.

Then, Aoyama Xiu Xin and Asai Zexi left one after the other. No sooner had the door closed than Asai Zexi eagerly began, "The child in sister-in-law’s belly..."

"Not important," Asai Zexi raised his hand to stop him, turned with a faint smile and faced his astonished expression, "To me, her main use is to bear a child, whether it’s mine or yours doesn’t matter, I can always have her bear another one just for me later on. Don’t worry, your son is also my nephew, I’ll treat him as my own."

He was very clear that the child inside his wife’s belly was Aoyama Xiu Xin’s, but he harbored no resentment because he didn’t love that woman, yet he could obtain a child who would call him father, which made him happy.

As long as no paternity test is conducted, nobody would know the child isn’t his, nor would anyone know he is a sham without the ability to reproduce.

Aoyama Xiu Xin: "..."

His brother-in-law’s open-mindedness somewhat frightened him.

He wanted to say something, but upon opening his mouth, he found he had nothing to say, only managing to squeeze out, "Then let me congratulate you in advance on your new child, I’ll prepare a big gift when the baby is born."

Since brother-in-law, the proverbial cuckold, didn’t mind raising his child, it would be petty of him to dwell on this matter further.

"Of course," Asai Zexi put the cigarette in his mouth and leaned over to have it lit, took a deep inhale and exhaled slowly, "She definitely wants to capitalise on her pregnancy, when my attention is on her, to catch us in the act, which is why she insisted on our coming to Sapporo. Let’s comply with her wish and show her who the real fool is. I’ll send your sister-in-law out in a while."

"What if she decides to abort the baby when she realizes she’s been made a fool of?" Aoyama Xiu Xin carefully inquired, knowing that while it might not matter whose child it was, her aborting could spark conflict between the Iihara family and the Asakai family.

Asai Ayumi shook his head, looking completely in control, "The moment I learned of her pregnancy, I informed the Iihara family and all our friends and relatives. The child inside her is no longer just her concern; she wouldn’t dare act rashly."

"She might seem crazy, but it’s all calculated madness. Both the Iihara family and the Asakai family are waiting for the child in her belly; she doesn’t have the courage to sacrifice everything for revenge, else she would have rather killed herself than marry me in the first place. Ultimately, she covets a glamorous life, so she not only needs to protect this child but also to conceal the issue of the child’s lineage."

He had already seen through Iihara Nishi.

Aoyama Xiu Xin had too.

"Alright, Brother, as long as you have a plan," Aoyama Xiu Xin, having done his duty to warn, nodded.

After finishing their cigarette, they returned to the house.

As planned, Aoyama Xiu Xin sent Aoyama Haruko out. "Sister-in-law, Brother Zexi wants to try your cooking, please could you go and buy some groceries."
