Early the next morning.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've received…
"Aiya, being too handsome really is a burden. People can't stop thinking about me even ones I haven't even met yet."
"Well, forget about those boring types. It's way more important to go wake up my wife."
Stretching lazily, Ye Wudi gave a casual yawn, then disappeared on the spot and reappeared inside Hinata's room.
There, curled up beneath the blanket, was a small head just barely poking out Hinata's. Looking at her, Ye Wudi's expression softened into a warm smile.
He quietly sat down beside her, slipped a hand into the blanket, and gently took her delicate, boneless hand into his own, casually toying with her fingers.
"As expected of my wife. This little hand... no matter how many times I hold it, I never get tired of it."
"Hmm… where should I take Hinata to play today? Let me think~"
Just as Ye Wudi was enjoying her soft hand
A pair of even smaller, softer hands suddenly reached out from behind and covered his eyes.
Despite the sneak attack, Ye Wudi didn't flinch. He stayed perfectly calm, completely unfazed by the sudden blindness because he knew exactly who it was.
The younger daughter of the Hyuga clan.
Hanabi Hyuga!
A cute little girl with an exceptionally gifted Byakugan.
"Guess who~? Hee hee hee~" Hanabi giggled, delighted at having successfully covered his eyes.
Hearing her, Ye Wudi smiled faintly and raised his hands in exaggerated surrender.
"Ah~ How would I ever know who you are?"
"What!"
Hanabi's cheerful mood instantly vanished. Just a moment ago, she was all smiles but now, she puffed up her cheeks in frustration.
With a pout, she raised her tiny pink fists, ready to show Ye Wudi the consequences of not recognizing her!
But just as she was about to strike, Ye Wudi spoke again.
"I mean, it couldn't be my adorable, well-behaved little sister-in-law… Little Hanabi, right?"
"Adorable and well-behaved?"
Eek~
Hanabi's mood flipped right back around. Beaming at the compliment, she released his eyes and placed her hands behind her back, skipping happily in circles around Ye Wudi.
"Lalalala~ I knew it! Wudi-nii would never forget me!"
"Hey hey hey~ Stop spinning! You're making me dizzy, Hanabi!"
"Nope~!"
Watching Hanabi get so excited over a single compliment, Ye Wudi couldn't help but smile dotingly.
He reached out and gently placed a hand on her head.
"Now be a good girl, Hanabi. Let's wake up your big sister, alright?"
"Okay~"
Hanabi looked up and gave his palm a little nuzzle before happily agreeing.
Once his mischievous little sister-in-law was appeased, Ye Wudi turned his attention back to the sleeping beauty beside him.
Sitting quietly at the bedside, he admired the peaceful scene for a moment, then gently tapped Hinata's nose.
Once~
Twice~
Thrice
"Achoo! Mm… Have you eaten yet? Ah-wooo~"
Hinata mumbled groggily as she raised her tiny hand and let out a yawning growl like a sleepy little dragon.
The adorable display prompted Ye Wudi to instinctively reach out and ruffle her hair.
At first, Hinata recoiled instinctively from the sudden touch, her entire body jolting awake.
Her dainty pink hand shot up, ready to strike.
"Who is it?! You can't just go around patting Hinata's head! Only Wudi-nii is allowed to do that! Hinata's gonna"
After all, her Wudi-nii had made it very clear: no man was allowed to touch her head not even her father or clan elders.
It was a lesson Ye Wudi had taught her from a young age.
Because, well... raising a wife starts early, right?
But the moment she saw who it was
Hinata's cheeks instantly flushed red. Her head drooped shyly as she stammered an apology.
"Eh? I-It's… Wudi-nii?"
"Wudi-nii~ I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you waking me up…"
"You…"
Ye Wudi looked at her adorable, bashful face and let out a gentle laugh.
He reached out again, this time to lovingly ruffle her hair.
"My wife is just too cute~"
"Mmm~"
Hinata leaned into his hand with visible delight, her face aglow with happiness, smiling innocently and blissfully.
"So, did Wudi-nii miss Hinata~?"
"Of course I did. My wife is so adorable how could I not miss you? I dream about you every night~"
"Wudi-nii, you're the best…"
Hearing his words, Hinata nestled contentedly into his arms, her heart filled with warmth.
Ye Wudi smiled, thoroughly enjoying her affection-
but just as he was thinking of asking Hanabi to step aside so he could hold Hinata properly...
The door suddenly creaked open.
And the man who stepped in
Was none other than the head of the Hyuga clan.
Hinata and Hanabi's father.
His future father-in-law Hiashi Hyuga.
"Hanabi, did you wake your sister yet? If she's up, then get ready. The clan's guard will take you to the grove for today's training."
"You are the hope of our clan. You must not grow up to be like your sister"
Hiashi had only gotten halfway through his sentence when he suddenly noticed
Ye Wudi was also in the room.
And for a long moment, everyone stared at everyone.
Ye Wudi: ???
Hinata: ???
Hanabi: ???
Hiashi: …
After a heavy silence, Hiashi quietly closed the door.
Bang.
That bastard Ye Wudi. What's he doing in Hinata's room?!
She's not even married to him yet! And he's already sneaking around like this?!
Then again… he is going to be our son-in-law eventually. Maybe it's not that bad…
"Still! The kid shows up and doesn't even say hello! Young people these days, honestly no manners at all!"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've received 666 points of negative emotion from Hiashi Hyuga!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've received…
"Sigh. Well, since Hinata's already up, I'd better go get Hanabi ready to leave."
"She's the future pillar of the Hyuga clan we can't afford to let her slack off."
Right.
Wait
Hold on a second!
Just as Hiashi turned to leave, he froze mid-step.
Wasn't Hanabi just inside too…?
Ye Wudi, you little shit!
It wasn't enough for you to steal my eldest daughter now you've got my youngest standing off to the side like a third wheel, watching you two shower each other in affection?!
You absolute menace!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've received 666 points of negative emotion from Hiashi Hyuga!
BOOM!
The door blew open with a thunderous bang-
