My new wife discovered my past

Kiko bounced and skipped lightly into Watanabe's arms, hugged his waist like a dragonfly skimming the water and acted coquettishly.

His attention was completely drawn to the birthday hat, so he didn't pay much attention to her cautious movements, which were subtly different from her previous ones.

"Ah!? Yes! Today is Noriko's birthday... How could I forget? How could I not even prepare a birthday present!"

Watanabe shook his head in "annoyance", with a smile on his face, his eyes never leaving Noriko's face.

Only with Noriko Shimizu's open welcome did Toru Watanabe feel like home.

At this moment, this is the only sentence that is clear and bright in the man's mind.

Seeing that he deliberately pretended to be like this to make fun of her, Watanabe Noriko pouted slightly, snorted proudly and turned around: "Toruya-kun is so annoying!"

Watanabe entered the house, closed the door, reached out his hand to touch Kiko's hand from behind and held her in his arms.

The man's thin chin gently rested on Watanabe Noriko's shoulder. He smelled her pleasant and soothing body fragrance, and quietly felt the refreshing and comfortable tenderness. Watanabe Toru relaxed his whole body and mind, enjoying the rare comfort.

He is really, so tired...

I don't want to persist any longer...

If only I could hold Noriko in my arms forever, forever and ever...

"… Tetsuya-kun?"

Noriko, who was being hugged, was keenly aware of something wrong. She did not break free from Watanabe's embrace, but raised her head and eagerly expressed her feelings:

"I don't mean to say anything bad about Tetsuya-kun! It's not like I don't like you or am unhappy with you!

"Are you feeling tired, Tetsuya-kun?

"I'm sorry... Tetsuya-kun, you came home after a day's work, and you're in a new work environment, and you're in the process of getting used to your seniors. I'm afraid you're so busy that you don't even have a chance to rest, but I'm still throwing a tantrum after Tetsuya-kun comes home from get off work...

"It's my fault...

"Let's come in and rest for a while! Then we can have a candlelight dinner!"

A simple action by Toru Watanabe made Noriko Shimizu think a lot and talk without stopping.

Watanabe felt warmed by the long-lost cuteness of the silly girl. He raised his hand and touched Noriko's head. He touched her wrist and swayed his body:

"My lovely Kiko, don't think too much! Although I've been very busy these days, I... well, I feel very fulfilled and have learned a lot from my seniors.

“Otherwise, it wouldn’t be my turn to go on the business trip tonight. It’s because the president, the minister and the seniors think highly of me that they gave me this opportunity!

"So, don't think too much about yourself and think that you've caused me a lot of trouble! Jizi took a special leave to celebrate my birthday, and also let me have a hot dinner every day when I get home from get off work. I'm already very happy~

"With a wife like this, I won't ask for too much..."

As he spoke, Watanabe glanced at Kiko's exposed delicate neck. Her skin was as white as jade, and a strand of her hair was hanging down, adding a bit of temptation.

He couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her. The tip of his tongue slid from the back of her neck to her shoulders and half-exposed collarbone, licking all the way, greedily, and finally firmly held the woman's mouth...

The kiss made Noriko's legs go weak and she leaned limply on Watanabe. They snuggled together and it took a long time before they parted their lips.

The two smiled at each other and put aside the heartfelt confession that had just happened. Watanabe was in a playful mood and had no intention of letting go. He still held Noriko's wrist and explored deeper into the apartment together as if he was controlling a doll or driving a mecha.

"Tetsuya-kun~ What are you doing~

"Stop it~ Don't~"

"Noriko Watanabe!"

"Yes~~"

“Target, kitchen and dining room!

"Full left rudder, full speed ahead! Forward!!"

Considering the huge gap in physical strength and fitness between himself and Noriko, Watanabe's actions were all made with Noriko as a reference target and would not hurt her or make Noriko feel uncomfortable.

There was a small birthday cake and some desserts on the dining table. On the cake, there was a candle with the number "25" clearly inserted, reminding Tetsuya Watanabe of his current age.

Watanabe was dazed when he saw the number. If nothing unexpected happened... his age would probably be forever frozen at 25.

Apart from the cake that is essential for a birthday, there was only the heart-shaped omelette rice and steamed fish prepared by Kiko.

If you don't steam the fish before eating it, you are wasting food! You are deliberately destroying the deliciousness of the fish!

As for grilled fish, braised fish, boiled fish, sashimi... compared with steamed fish, they are not even worthy of carrying shoes!

Watanabe Toru has made rash conclusions more than once.

But now the steamed fish could not attract Watanabe's attention. He looked left and right, looking around the restaurant, cakes, food, drinks, ribbons...

There are no other obvious targets.

Where's his birthday present?

Could it be that Kiko hid it in the bridal chamber or somewhere else, to be the finale?

Watanabe, who had vaguely guessed what was going on, met Noriko's eyes, and they smiled at each other. They both guessed what the other was thinking, and then they went to the table to eat in tacit understanding.

"I'm starting~!"

Without any reluctance, Watanabe and Noriko clinked their glasses together. After taking a few sips of the curry omelet rice that Noriko had carefully prepared, their taste buds were stimulated and they began to talk.

They clinked glasses again.

"Happy birthday to my best, most amazing, most powerful and most handsome husband~!"

After taking a sip of the sake with mixed tastes, Watanabe Toru swallowed it to prevent it from coming back, deceiving Shimizu Noriko against his conscience:

"It's been five years in a flash... If it weren't for Keiko, I really can't imagine how bad my life would be...

"So! From now on, please give me your guidance, my most beautiful, gentle, lovely and virtuous wife, Miss Kiko~!"

"Hmm~! It's my honor!"

Noriko Watanabe happily took a sip of the wine glass. The wine passed through her throat, but it did not bring a burning sensation, but an endless aftertaste of sweetness...

Eating cake after a meal prevents the leftovers from being thrown away and wasted, so the birthday cakes Watanabe and Noriko always buy small cakes that are just right for the two of them.

"Tetsuya-kun, close your eyes and make a wish. I will give you the birthday surprise I prepared~"

As Noriko sang her cheerful birthday song, Toru Watanabe obediently closed his eyes and made his own birthday wish.

"Can I open my eyes now, Noriko?"

"Alright, alright, Tetsuya-kun, open your eyes!"

Watanabe Toru opened his eyes and didn't even have time to blow out the candles. With the dim, swaying candlelight and the light coming from the side of the living room, he saw Noriko Shimizu smiling across the dining table. There was still no sign of her birthday present.

If I have to say something different, it would be that on the dining table between him and Noriko, there was a... document?

Is this the birthday surprise she prepared?

Watanabe Toru was a little confused for a moment.

Before he could think about it, Watanabe heard Kiko's voice, which was full of excitement and joy:

"You can pick it up and have a look~ I prepared a special birthday surprise for Tetsuya-kun~!"

Watanabe reached out and picked it up. With the light from the living room, he carefully read the "document" in his hand and couldn't help reading aloud:

"Ultrasound examination report, Watanabe Noriko, female...

"The uterus is anteverted, enlarged, and intrauterine...

"Early intrauterine pregnancy, about 40 days of pregnancy...

“…Huh!?”

Watanabe Tetsuya raised his head instantly, his pupils suddenly tightened and shrank, and the woman at the end of his sight had a happy smile on her face. She opened her hand and touched her belly, and said something that Watanabe Tetsuya would never forget in his life:

"Toruya-kun~ I'm pregnant~!

"Our first child is still eight or nine months away, and will be able to meet us in late February or early March next year~!

"We...are finally going to have our first child~!"

Chapter 278 Sakuraba Miki: Sure enough, he didn’t come

Watanabe still remembers what he talked about with Noriko about children in April.

They want children; their first child would preferably be a daughter; if possible, they would like to have both a son and a daughter.

They forgot to name the child and asked their grandparents, the Shimizu couple, to help choose a name. Kiko took it upon herself to name the child Yu and Qiong like she was offering a treasure, which almost caused Watanabe to hit her on the forehead.

In order to successfully conceive a child and establish their common bloodline, Watanabe and Noriko started preparing for pregnancy after confirming their feelings to each other.

But things didn't go as planned, and soon Saotome Hazuki came to the door, triggering a series of chain reactions...

Watanabe thought that he was being exploited by this group of evil women day and night without stopping, and he rarely had intimacy with Noriko, so the possibility of him getting pregnant and giving birth to a daughter was extremely small.

Noriko was not a woman who could easily get pregnant. She and Watanabe had been intimate without any precautions. The number of times was not many, only four times in more than four years, but the time range of each time was controlled within 72 hours. In a sense, the period was unlimited indulgence...

Watanabe also felt sorry for hurting Noriko's already poor health, so he replaced all the medicines he took with new contraceptives that he accidentally brought from Kyoto, which did not cause any harm to Noriko.

When in Kyoto, she had been sampled and tested by Saotome and Tsukimiri. Watanabe Toru knew that her sexual activity was very high, but there was also the barrier of the new contraceptive. During those years, only Mizunotsuki, who stopped taking the medicine secretly and had delusions on her own, became pregnant. This shows how powerful the new contraceptive is.

New contraceptive pills, non-fertile physique, and little intimacy during this period... With these three tricks, Watanabe never guessed that "Kiko was pregnant."

But when Watanabe held the ultrasound report in his hand and Kiko announced her pregnancy in person, he did not think it was a joke.

His wife, Noriko Watanabe, was actually pregnant with his child.

Working backwards from the conclusion, standing at the future time node and looking back at his past experiences, Watanabe Toru discovered that many insignificant details had been overlooked by him.

Noriko's menstrual period was delayed for several days. Although there had been similar incidents in the past, with her period occasionally coming a few days earlier or later, it was the time when they were preparing for pregnancy, but Watanabe did not think about it. He was really fooled by those women using "Oppie" and "Omannko"...

Also, Kiko had rarely been intimate with him these days, but had used other methods instead. Watanabe secretly thought that Kiko had given up on herself and was unable to speak, so he didn't want to talk about her sad story and stabbed Kiko hard again...

Thinking about it now... Watanabe felt that he was really ridiculous.

In addition to these two most obvious and easily discovered abnormalities, Watanabe's memory flashed back to Kiko's hands always gently caressing his waist and lower abdomen, and she had always deliberately changed her posture to make her lower abdomen more comfortable. Whenever she hugged and kissed him, she no longer pressed her whole body against him like before, as if she wanted to melt herself into Watanabe's flesh and blood, so that the two of them could be indistinguishable from each other...

There are so many things everywhere. When Watanabe went to look for questions with answers, he found that they were almost all full of intentional or unintentional hints from Noriko.

However, Watanabe didn't notice this hint until the end, and Noriko had to personally announce the good news to him...

Watanabe Tetsuya once again disappointed Noriko Shimizu.

Even if Noriko hadn't said it, she wouldn't have thought so, but Watanabe knew it...

Watanabe carefully read the report from beginning to end. The test date was June 6. He then worked back from the 2-day pregnancy period, and figured out that it was around that day in the kitchen when Noriko expressed her desire to have a child...
