My new wife discovered my past

So before going into battle, on the way home, Hoshimi Haruka tentatively tested Watanabe Toru.

"Noriko?" Watanabe turned his head and glanced at the miko beside him in confusion, and said, "My new wife has something to tell you."

"Brother, don't get excited. I'm just curious about some things about Sister Jiko."

"I don't believe that after you found out that I had a new wife, you didn't take the time to investigate Kiko's past and all her interpersonal relationships." Toru Watanabe looked at Haruka Hoshimi with a firm tone.

"You can't hide anything from your brother. It turns out that your brother knows Xiaoyao best~" Noticing the tension in the man's tone and expression, Xingjian Yao eased the atmosphere.

Seeing her surrender, Watanabe Tetsuya sighed and said, "Xiaoyao, just be frank. Our relationship has been upgraded from a transaction to a cooperation. There is no need to hide it...

"Speak your mind and do what you want to do. Don't waste time and energy."

"With your words, Xiaoyao feels relieved!" Hoshimi Haruka felt relieved, but the first sentence she asked made Watanabe Toru tremble all over.

"Brother, what is your impression of Kiyomizu Shrine?"

"...I only know that it has the same origin as your Hidaka Shrine, but I am not very clear about the details. After all, the welfare home is under the jurisdiction of your Hidaka Shrine, and I am under your strict control. I have never been to the town directly under the jurisdiction of the Shimizu Shrine on the other side of the river."

"Is that so... Don't you think it's a coincidence, brother? Sister Noriko's last name is Shimizu."

Facing such a sharp accusation from Hoshimi Haruka, Watanabe Toru was also prepared. He used the words that had convinced and brainwashed him in his heart: "What else could it be but a coincidence?

"There are so many surnames on the island country, and there are more than 100 million people... Is it weird to have the same surname?"

Hoshimi Haruka chuckled and didn't dwell on the matter. She said, "My brother may not know... The shrine maiden of Shimizu Shrine ran away from home, if that's the right word.

"Of course, the more accurate word is escape."

Seeing the pupils of Watanabe Toru suddenly shrink, as if he realized some possible unbelievable situation, a fact that he was unwilling to believe but could not and had to face, Hoshimi Haruki could conclude from this fleeting look that her brother Toru must have some secret involving himself and Shimizu Noriko, and he was still hiding it from her and was unwilling to reveal it!

Hoshimi Haruka, whose suspicion of Shimizu Noriko had greatly increased, gave up the test for the time being and said, "But this happened three years ago, and the name of the shrine maiden was Shimizu Kazuna, so she couldn't be Noriko's sister.

"It's impossible that the power of the Shimizu Shrine can split a person into multiple clones, right?"

Shuttled back and forth between heaven and hell in a single thought, Watanabe Toru woke up from his trance. Facing Hoshimi Haruka who deliberately delayed the next important sentence for so long, his eyes narrowed:

“This is just one time, it won’t happen again.

"I warn you solemnly, you'd better not learn from that Saotome woman. She has obviously begun to gain my favor bit by bit, but she always feels that it doesn't matter. She thinks that I have started to treat her well, so she also puts on airs...

“It’s disgusting, it’s disgusting, I don’t like it at all.

"Just like you used scheming means to test me just now, if it happens again, I will really give up cooperating with you and reconsider whether you are really worthy of my preferential treatment compared to other women..."

Watanabe Tetsuya's words came from the heart. He said them all in one breath without any joking, which scared Hoshimi Haruka quite a bit.

She kept acting coquettishly and said that she would never do it again. She grabbed Watanabe Tetsuya's hand and asked him to feel her sincerity so that the man could feel at ease.

Xing Jianyao's reaction to her good brother's stress was more and more confirmed in her guess. There really was some unspeakable secret between the newlyweds. Xing Jianyao felt more and more heavy physically and mentally...

After that, they remained silent all the way until they were almost home. Watanabe Toru only asked Hoshimi Haruka not to act too intimate with him when they were almost home, because he had told Noriko that they were not familiar with each other.

After getting off the bus halfway, Toru Watanabe got in his own car and drove home first.

When Jizi woke up in the morning, there was only one thought in her mind - I was sleepy, so sleepy, too sleepy!

It's even more tiring than getting up and going to work from nine to five every day.

Unlike work, which left her physically exhausted and mentally numb, during these days of resting at home to nurture her baby, Kiko felt as though her entire body had become soft and weak like a sponge, her head groggy and foggy, like a bottomless black hole sucking away all her sleep. She could never get enough sleep...

Realizing that she could no longer sleep in bed, Jiko relied on her strong willpower to change into her pajamas and get out of bed. After washing up, she toasted a piece of bread, spread some jam on it, and had a simple breakfast with milk.

She didn't go for a walk in the park downstairs. The scorching sun was one thing, but it was really unsafe for a woman like her to walk alone outside with a bulging belly.

With her husband Watanabe not around, Kiko would never do anything that might be dangerous, such as going out alone, especially while she is pregnant.

After pacing back and forth in the living room and dining room, just like she did the previous two nights with Watanabe's support, Noriko felt hungry again and cooked a bowl of pasta.

Watanabe didn't send any messages either, and Kiko, who was extremely bored, could only walk slowly back and forth, her mind wandering and her mind wandering.

Hoshimi Haruka... is that Tetsuya-kun's childhood sweetheart? Judging from their ages, she should be... his younger sister?

Noriko trusted Watanabe very much. Since her newlywed husband said that he was not familiar with Hoshimi Haruka, it was possible that they had only met a few times when he was fostered in the shrine, and Hoshimi Haruka had some impression of him...

She came here tonight just to see if she still had the baby in her belly, so that Jiko would no longer have any doubts.

After touching her lower abdomen and feeling her legs a little tired and sore, Jiko changed into a comfortable position and lay on the sofa.

There was still no message from her husband Watanabe on her phone. Kiko was used to it and didn't feel disappointed. She was going to sleep for a while. She was a little sleepy again. It was annoying...

Then a piece of information that popped up caught Noriko Shimizu's attention. The title was extremely explosive.

[Cyberxp exhibitionist! Songstress Haruka Hoshimi is a rare brother-lover, and expresses her love for her brother without any reservation! Netizens: I envy my brother! ]

Hoshimi Haruka, brother, brother complex...!

Each keyword pokes at Noriko Watanabe's sensitive weak points. She thinks of her newly-married husband, Tetsuya Watanabe. In a sense, Tetsuya-kun was fostered and grew up in a shrine, and Haruka Hoshimi is the shrine's maiden and heir. So her newly-married husband can also be considered Haruka Hoshimi's brother, right?

The most important thing is that this kind of scandal has never appeared on Xing Jianyao before, but it just happened to be exposed recently when they had contact...

How could it be possible that Noriko Shimizu wouldn't think too much?

Noriko's mind was overloaded with fantasies. She always felt that her husband Watanabe didn't go to work today, or that the company, under pressure from the big star singer, had assigned him the task of accompanying Hoshimi Haruka, and then they were photographed by paparazzi on a date today, which led to this piece of gossip...

Thinking of this, Jizi felt that her head and the top of her head were not only groggy and sleepy, but also a little heavy, and her neck was slightly sore, as if she was wearing a hat of unknown color...

With those doubts in mind, Noriko Shimizu clicked on the entertainment news with trembling hands, and quickly scanned the entire content of the marketing account at a glance.

She then breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that no actual photos or videos were taken. They were all the aftermath and speculation caused by the "Sister's Song" at the concert. Those were all irrelevant fantasies of some netizens. It was only because they were widely spread and fermented in a short period of time that they became a trend in the island country.

Noriko Shimizu's brain became a little dull after she became pregnant, but she was not stupid enough to believe the rumors spread by netizens. This is even less credible than the chat records on Line. Only a fool would believe such rumors, right?

She searched for Hoshimi Haruka's name and related keywords on forums such as Twitter and TikTok, and sure enough, a bunch of posts and videos were refreshed, all of which were ancient battlefields of gods and demons where fans and haters fought each other.

But at the moment, it seems that Hoshimi Haruka's fans have the upper hand.

With a curious and playful mindset, Jiko casually scrolled through the pages, and then she swiped back to the post she had casually scrolled past. After seeing the specific content, the woman was so angry that her face turned red.

[Zouzouzou is my little cat: Can fans of Hoshimi Haruka not drag irrelevant people into this, okay? Our only big star singer is very busy at work! She should just bear with it if she chooses to end the concert for love. I wish a certain brother-loving person and her brother to work from morning till night, until the end of time, and try to have a baby next year!]

After seeing the last few sentences, Noriko Shimizu's defense was a little broken. She couldn't help but confront the blogger of this post.

[Tetsuya: You said you don't want to drag irrelevant people into this, so why are you spreading rumors about people other than Hoshimi Haruka? Please be respectful!]

The other party responded very quickly, almost making Jiko so angry that her stomach ached.

[Which crazy fan of Hoshimi Haruka is using a fake account to seek attention? Don’t drag outsiders into this, I’m really laughing… How come that man, that Hoshimi Haruka’s brother is your husband?]

[Then I will give you a big red hat. Put it on!]

If a man's wife cheats on him, then the man is being labeled a woman; conversely, if a woman's husband cheats on her, then the woman is being labeled a red hat.

It is conceivable that when Noriko Watanabe saw this sentence again, she was so angry that a myocardial infarction would be a small matter!

Afraid that she would get so angry that she had a miscarriage, Noriko Watanabe took deep breaths to adjust her body and tried to empty her mind. She thought about all the things that might happen and the replies she saw, and tried to remain calm and composed before looking at her phone again.

Sure enough, the rumor-mongering girl with the long and ugly ID bombarded me with several replies in a row.

[Your ID contains the word "Che Ye"? This is obviously a man's name, and there are two hearts in front and behind. It seems that the man you like or your boyfriend or husband is called "Che Ye"! ]

[Haha! Stop playing dumb, bitch! Face the reality! Maybe your husband Tetsuya-kun is being exploited by brother-loving Haruka Hoshimi right now, treating her as his brother! Hurry up and call your husband to check the situation, haha!]

[Get out of here and stop being a coward! Call your husband Tetsuya-kun! Maybe you can even hear some voices! This is also a sense of participation, right?]

[………]

All kinds of obscene words were disgusting to read. Although Watanabe Noriko was mentally prepared not to be affected too much, she felt annoyed when she saw this disgusting rumor-mongering woman replying and fighting back crazily. She truly felt like she was wearing a big red hat on her head, which was getting heavier and heavier, causing her neck to ache.

No wonder everyone says that star-chasing girls are extremely scary. Watanabe Noriko, who has experienced it herself, has learned a lesson. She will never care about these messy things again. She just wants to live a peaceful life with her own Tetsuya-kun, who loves her loyally...

Ignoring the insults and foul language from the rumormonger, Noriko Watanabe only replied with one sentence, "Hoshimi Haruka is the only female singer of the new era in the island country, Shiina Kanade is not worthy of it," and then blocked the rumormonger and turned off her phone.

Lying on the sofa, recalling what had just happened, looking at the chat box on her phone that still had no information, Jizi felt both scared and sad. Gradually, tears began to flow from her eyes, she sobbed softly on the sofa, and before she knew it, she slowly fell asleep from exhaustion and sleepiness...

"I am back."

Watanabe Tetsuya opened the door quietly. Looking at the dim and silent apartment, he immediately realized that something was wrong and ran straight into the apartment without even changing his shoes.

Watanabe finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Noriko sleeping soundly on the sofa. However, before he could finish his breath, he saw the crumpled tissues on the sofa and the tear marks on the woman's face, and he became worried again.

"Kiko, Kiko~" Toru Watanabe hurriedly walked forward and called Shimizu Kiko softly.

Chapter 289: Visit, Kiko, Saotome, and Hoshimi Haruka's Meeting

It was almost 19pm, and even in the summer, the sky was about to get completely dark, and night was about to fall in Tokyo.

With the last rays of the setting sun, Watanabe saw the ball of paper next to Noriko sleeping on the sofa and the obvious tear marks on her face. He abandoned all emotions and thoughts, and quickly lay down on the sofa, being careful not to touch Noriko's lower abdomen covered with a thin blanket, and gently woke her up.

"...Hmm...Um...Tetsuya-kun~" In her dream, without opening her eyes, Noriko murmured Watanabe's name.

Watanabe responded positively and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her physical appearance. She might have just had a nightmare and held Noriko's hand tightly.

A familiar warmth came from the palm of her hand, like a guiding light in the dark storm, guiding Watanabe Noriko who was lost in the deep sea. When she opened her eyes, she could recognize at a glance that the man in front of her was her newlywed husband Watanabe Tetsuya, even in the dim living room.

The negative emotions of previously confronting extremes on the Internet, being insulted and spread rumors, and having just woken up from a nightmare all combined together, and seeing her only support in the future holding her hand tightly beside her, Kiko could no longer hold back. She called out Watanabe's name and was hugged in his arms, continuing to cry silently, which made people feel pity for her.

Reaching for the chandelier switch, Jiko squinted her eyes for a long time to adjust to the light, and also slightly stopped the little pearls from falling like a string.

Watanabe also took out a few tissues from the sofa and wiped away Noriko's tears carefully: "Did you have a nightmare?"

"...Hmm~ I dreamed that Tetsuya-kun didn't want me anymore, and was snatched away by another woman." Noriko nestled in Watanabe's arms and acted coquettishly in a muffled voice.

Kiko's nightmare was too specific and its direction was too bad, it was embarrassing.

And because she couldn't see and there were no surveillance cameras installed in the house, Watanabe simply didn't hide his expression anymore. The corners of his mouth twitched visibly, and it was obvious that he couldn't hold it together.

"Noriko is really good at... having wild ideas..." Watanabe once again came up with a sophistry theory and coaxed her:

"Any dream that you can remember after waking up, especially a nightmare, will never happen again... Jizi, please stop imagining, okay? No one can snatch me away from you."

Precisely because she was Noriko Shimizu, she did not take this opportunity to continue to act coquettishly, nor did she mention the quarrel that took place on the Internet, let alone mention Hoshimi Haruka's name.

Noriko simply held Watanabe's hand and guided the man to touch her lower abdomen. The sudden throbbing she felt yesterday was still fresh in her memory.

"You didn't jump so suddenly today, did you?" Watanabe rubbed and slid gently. It was summer, and Noriko was only wearing a silk pajamas, which gave her a tingling sensation.

Noriko smiled, and the crystals hanging on her cheeks dripped down. Watanabe quickly wiped them clean and said:

"Not yet... But it's nice to poke it, as powerful as Tetsuya-kun, I don't want our children to be like me...

"You are in such a bad condition..."
