Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

The two had just gotten out of the car when someone called out to them.

"Miss Yoko!"

A tall, thin man wearing sunglasses walked towards the two of them.

"I didn't expect you to actually bring your boyfriend!" The man looked Kitagawa Taki up and down.

"Mr. Kenzaki!" Yoko Okino greeted him.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?" the man named Kenzaki teased.

Yoko Okino took Kitagawa Taki's hand and introduced him, "My...boyfriend, Kitagawa Taki!"

Then, he introduced Kitagawa Taki: "This is Kenzaki Osamu, one of the main characters of today's engagement party."

"Hello!" Kenzaki Osamu laughed, "I thought it was just those women gossiping, but it turns out it's true."

"Brother Kitagawa, now that you've won over Yoko, you'd better watch out for her die-hard fans!" Kenzaki Osamu took off his sunglasses and winked.

Yoko Okino smiled sweetly: "It was me who pursued Taki!"

Kenzaki Osamu's eyes widened instantly, then he gave Kitagawa Taki a thumbs up.

"Alright, Mr. Kenzaki, let's go upstairs!"

……

At the apartment entrance, Kitagawa Taki finally met the party's leading lady—Kusano Kaoru.

"Yoko!! You actually have a boyfriend! And he's so handsome!"

Kusano Kaoru ignored her fiancé and started "interrogating" Okino Yoko.

"Tell me the truth! When did you two get together?"

Yoko Okino smiled sheepishly: "Not long..."

Kusano Kaoru complained, "Honestly, are you planning to keep it a secret from us if we don't force you to bring your boyfriend out this time?!"

Yoko Okino smiled. If it weren't for her friends' help, she wouldn't have been able to get to A so early.

Kusano Kaoru added, "Oh right, Yoko, you haven't introduced her to me yet!"

Just then, a young woman walked in from outside, saying as she went, "This is the famous exorcist detective, Kitagawa Taki!"

"Yoko, wasn't I right? But you really kept it a secret! You had such a boyfriend, why didn't you introduce him to us sooner!"

"Hello." Kitagawa Taki finally had a chance to greet the two women.

Kenzaki Osamu said, "Kimi-kun is a detective! Come to think of it, I've even played the role of a detective before."

"By the way, this is Yukino Yuki," Kenzaki Osamu introduced the newly arrived woman.

He noticed Yue Yexue's eye-catching bright red nail polish adorned with flowers: "Axue, why are you wearing such fancy nail polish again?"

"Isn't it beautiful?" Yue Yexue raised her hand and showed it to everyone.

"It looks good, it looks good." Kenzaki Osamu walked to his fiancée, Kusano Kaoru, with a perfunctory attitude.

"Let's go inside and talk."

As he spoke, he reached out to close the door.

Just then, a pair of black high heels blocked the door: "What are you two talking about standing in the doorway?"

Yoko Okino exclaimed in delight, "Kurimi!"

A beautiful woman with a cigarette in her mouth was leaning against the door frame.

Kaoru Kusano greeted her, "Hikaru-nee, you're here too."

His tone was a little unnatural.

"Yes, Yoko told me to come no matter what."

Hoshino Terumi's gaze swept over the crowd, and when she saw Kitagawa Taki standing behind them, her originally cold expression changed, but she quickly concealed it.

"If it's inconvenient for you, I can leave." Hoshino Terumi took the cigarette off and stubbed it out.

"Oh dear, it's so hard for all four of us from Earth's Ladies' Team to finally get together!"

Yoko Okino stepped forward and pulled Terumi Hoshino inside.

Kitagawa Taki looked at the four women; it seemed there was more to the story.

Hoshino Terumi looked at Kitagawa Taki and asked, "Is this... your boyfriend, Yoko?"

"Mmm!" Yoko Okino nodded.

"Hello, I'm Kitagawa Taki." Kitagawa Taki greeted him.

"Hello, Terumi Hoshino."

Chapter 349 So What If a Moth Flies into a Flame?

"Ah Xun, when are you two planning to get married?"

The group chatted as they walked.

"We plan to hold our wedding ceremony next spring!"

Kusano Kaoru held Kenzaki Osamu's arm, looking very happy.

"That's wonderful," Yue Yexue said with envy.

Yoko Okino exclaimed, "But I really didn't expect that among the four of us, the youngest, Kaoru, would be the first to get married!"

Kusano Kaoru chimed in, "I didn't expect it either. I always thought Teru-nee would be the first one."

"Speaking of which, Terumi," Yukino Yuki looked at Hoshino Terumi, "don't you already have someone you like?"

Yoko Okino then asked, "How are things going between you and that person?"

“Nothing happened between us.” Hoshino Terumi avoided their gazes, paused for a moment, and continued, “Nothing will happen in the future either.”

"Huh?" Yoko Okino couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"I just want to experience the feeling of unrequited love from afar, so that my beautiful fantasy will never be shattered."

After finishing her sentence, Hoshino Terumi left everyone behind and headed towards the living room.

“Kemi…” Yoko Okino stared blankly at Hoshino Terumi’s retreating figure.

Hoshino Terumi's thoughts were so similar to hers before, but she still couldn't suppress her feelings. So what if it was like a moth drawn to a flame?

Kitagawa Taki patted Okino Yoko on the shoulder.

Yoko Okino smiled at Taki Kitagawa; her beautiful fantasy hadn't been shattered.

Just then, the kitchen door opened, and a man wearing an apron came out.

"Um... Detective Samonji is about to start, and the food should be ready soon."

"I'm not going to watch it. I want to take a shower first. Call me when it's over."

After finishing her sentence, Kusano Kaoru walked towards the bedroom alone.

“But…” the man hesitated, “If that happens, all the food I made will get cold. You should just eat with everyone else…”

Kusano Kaoru said irritably, "Do you have to be so long-winded? I said I'm not watching anymore. You're a useless guy, you have no right to tell me what to do!"

"I'm sorry..." The man lowered his head.

"Hey, Kaoru!" Kenzaki Osamu followed.

"Who is this?" Kitagawa Taki asked Okino Yoko in a low voice.

Yoko Okino whispered in Taki Kitagawa's ear, "Atsushi Makuma, Kaoru's manager."

A manager? Living with a female celebrity who has a fiancé? Still cooking? And looking so subservient?

Kitagawa Taki rubbed his chin; something was very wrong.

Logically speaking, no man would tolerate another man living with his fiancée, right?

They're not her family.

Yue Yexue laughed and said, "She's still the same as always. She's too embarrassed to watch her own performances with everyone."

The group went to the living room, where wine and some food were already laid out on the coffee table.

Hoshino Terumi sat alone on the sofa, a TV drama playing on the screen.

Yuki Yukino sat down next to Terumi Hoshino, while Taki Kitagawa and Yoko Okino sat together.

"Yoko, when are you and Mr. Kitagawa planning to get married?" Yueye Xue teased.

Yoko Okino said shyly, "We haven't been together for very long."

Hoshino Terumi lit a cigarette again.

At that moment, Kenzaki Osamu walked into the living room and, seeing that the food on the coffee table was untouched, said:

“What are you all just sitting there for? Eat and drink. There’s no need to wait for Ah Xun. She’ll probably be gone for a while.”

He sat alone on one side.

"Before we go any further, let's write down our blessings for Ah Xun!"

Yoko Okino took a card out of her bag. There was a heart drawn in the middle of the card, and the words "Happy Wedding to Kaoru!" were written on it.

She wrote her blessing on the card first and then handed it to Hoshino Terumi.

Hoshino Terumi refused, saying, "I won't write it."

Yoko Okino advised, "Kurimi, this is your chance to make up!"

"I just can't do anything with you."

Hoshino Terumi glanced at the smiling Okino Yoko and took the card.

Yue Yexue interjected, "You guys write first, I'm going to the restroom."

After writing her blessing, Hoshino Terumi left a mark next to it with a cigarette.
