"I'm going to find Tomoko~"
Yukiko gave him a pretty eye roll.
He snorted softly and said:
"You're being punished by Ai Haibara right now, so you're no use to me at all. I'd better go find someone to play with, so I don't have to stay here all alone, feeling empty and lonely!"
"Eri has to work today, so I contacted Tomoko. She said she's free, so I'm going to hang out with her today!"
Have fun!
Xia Ye smiled slightly. Neither Yukiko nor Suzuki Tomoko were easy to deal with. Who knew what kind of sparks would fly when the two of them got together?
Quite looking forward to it!
"Okay, you too~"
Yukiko suppressed her mischievous smile and gently straightened Natsume's collar, but she quickly regained her playful demeanor.
"Have fun with Ran, but don't get too 'fun,' because you don't want to break Ai's punishment and get nagged by her, right?"
"I see!"
Xia Ye tapped her forehead in an annoyed tone.
"goodbye!"
"Bye-bye~"
Chapter 222 Eri Kisaki: Hurry up, I'm in a rush!
Half past seven in the morning.
Eri Kisaki finished getting ready and prepared to leave.
Seeing her hurried manner, Xiao Lan naturally understood why.
My mother used to go to work around 8 a.m., since the firm was very close to home, only a few minutes' drive away.
Leaving home so early now.
It must be because Xia Ye is arriving at eight o'clock.
After all, the relationship was already awkward to begin with.
Including last night's log.
Xiao Ai's situation must have been quite a shock to her.
It's perfectly normal for her to choose to avoid the situation for a while.
but--
Xiaolan curled her lips.
The biggest reason is that I'm at home alone.
If she weren't home, she definitely wouldn't avoid Xia Ye, and who knows what she might do at home!
snort!
After all, considering what happened in Izu that night.
She's actually not against it.
They're just pretending nothing's happened in front of themselves.
In the end.
It's all Xia Ye's fault, that bastard!
It was all his doing.
It ruined the atmosphere at home!
"mom--"
Xiaolan peeked out from the kitchen.
He put on a cute smiling face:
"How about we eat first before going out?"
Actually, so much time has passed that she shouldn't still be bothered by family relationships.
After all, Ai already has a reference point. Judging from the log, Ai seems to have tacitly agreed, since they are still under the same roof!
In addition, I spoke with Sonoko last night.
Xiaolan has basically figured it out.
only--
I can't just tell her I agree, can I?
Don't I, Xiaolan, have any pride?
I'm so shy!
“No thanks~”
Eri Kisaki was putting on black high heels in the entryway when she heard her daughter's voice. She turned around and said softly:
"I need to get to the office right away, but don't worry, I'll have Midori buy me breakfast!"
In fact, Eri Kisaki has a lot of things to deal with these past two days, after all, she and Natsume just spent three days in Izu.
The firm has accumulated quite a few cases.
Kuriyama Midori is excellent.
But some customers only recognize her signboard.
There was no other way; those clients had paid several times the usual commission, so naturally she had to handle the requests personally.
but--
No matter what, it won't make a difference if it's just another half hour.
Eri knew she just wanted to avoid Natsume for the time being. After all, judging from yesterday's diary, Natsume and Elena over there had already... If he wasn't satisfied and wanted to have a second round, well...
Put on your high heels.
Eri looked at Ran and saw that she was wearing a pink cat apron and holding a soup spoon, looking like a cute little cook. This made her smile and feel much more relaxed.
Have fun today!
"besides--"
"Don't let that guy take too much advantage of you!"
"do you know?"
"I know!"
Xiao Lan blushed upon hearing this.
However, a strange glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.
These words did sound fitting for her and her own identities, but it just didn't feel right coming from her.
because.
Everyone's situation is pretty much the same.
Being taken advantage of by Xia Ye or something—
Let's not talk about each other~
"I'm heading out now~"
When Eri noticed Ran's strange look, she didn't think much of it and assumed that Ran was shy because of what she had said.
After all, it's inevitable for young men and women to be affectionate when they're together, and this girl must have experienced plenty of that!
I don't know.
Xiao Lan wasn't embarrassed about that.
She'd already gone through the woods with Xia Ye, so she wouldn't care about something so minor.
"Well, Mom, bye!"
Xiao Lan waved goodbye to her.
Watch her leaving.
Her signature bun hairstyle looked cute and elegant, and her youthful face was made up with light makeup, making her appear more mature.
While others try to look younger, she needs to maintain a mature and composed image due to her work, so this is the only way she can manage it. However, this can be considered a happy dilemma.
She was wearing a light purple business suit.
It's similar to the style before.
However, the clothes were a bit tighter, and the skirt of the suit seemed much shorter. She was also wearing black stockings, something she'd almost never worn before; they were sheer and thin, further accentuating her perfect figure and leg curves.
It was still a dignified business suit.
Yet, it exudes a mature and charming allure in every aspect.
It's completely different from her previous somewhat old-fashioned style.
Xiaolan sighed.
Regardless of who she changed for.
Just look at her outfit, plus that frivolous log reward necklace she's wearing around her neck, "Cupid's Arrow of Love," her attractiveness to men is practically off the charts. Doesn't she worry about being constantly hit on and harassed?
but--
Safety is not a problem.
Xiaolan remembered that when her mother came out of the shower yesterday, she saw a delicate square mark on the back of her slender waist.
If she didn't know what was going on, she would definitely think it was some kind of tattoo that her mother had secretly gotten, because it did look somewhat like it.
however--
Xiaolan had seen that "tattoo".
It was right on Ai's wrist.
It looks exactly like Mom's "tattoo"!
Those are Xia Ye's Command Seals, which are said to allow him to summon Xia Ye at any time. He currently only has three, and each one has a one-week cooldown period, making them quite rare.
Xiao Lan remembers.
I first observed my mother wearing a bikini on the beach in Izu. She didn't have this Command Seal at that time. Counting the time, it was probably given to me by Natsume during the few minutes I witnessed them disappearing into the shadows that day.
The next day, when we went out to sea on a yacht, my mother was still wearing a bikini, but she had wrapped a light gauze skirt around her waist. Now that I think about it, it was probably to cover up that Command Seal.
snort!
Why not choose a perfectly good wrist?
They insisted on choosing such a "remote" location.
It must be to keep it from me.
The two "idiots" had no idea they had already discovered it!
That location—
Xia Ye has no idea how much she's benefited from this!
...
Apartment downstairs.
Eri Kisaki walked out of the main gate.
After picking Xiaolan up from school yesterday, she parked the car in the parking lot outside the apartment. Now she can just drive off.
Arrive next to your mini Cooper.
