In the world of Zongman, the ruthless monks just want to play badly

If the girl is very resistant, he will also obey her wishes.

but……

Why does his attitude give me the feeling that a single father wants to remarry and is carefully considering his daughter's feelings?

Bai Li shook his head and laughed at his own thoughts.

……

No longer disturbing Xiao Mo, he considerately left her enough private space.

Baili returned to the living room and entertained today's guests.

Mizuho Toyokawa is a very talkative person.

Although she hit a wall with Metis, she was not discouraged at all and enthusiastically inquired about all the news about Baili.

"Where is Bailijun from? Judging from his name, is he from the neighboring Eastern country?"

"Do you plan to live in Neon in the future? The Toyokawa Group still has some influence here, so if you need any help, feel free to contact me~"

"Also, what do you think of your future significant other..."

"Mom, it's getting late. You should go home and rest, or Grandpa will be worried!"

Toyokawa Shoko can no longer stand her stupid mother's enthusiastic attitude towards the president. Ignoring her is fine, but what's with the iron tree blooming? Come on, mom, you are almost 40 years old! Give me more boundaries with younger boys!

"Your grandfather wouldn't mind such a thing. But Xiangzi, you interrupted your mother's conversation without permission. It seems you've really forgotten what a lady's etiquette is."

Mizuho Toyokawa glanced lightly at her stupid daughter who was trying to rebel, and successfully made Modrexiang, who was raising the sword of rebellion against her opponent Rei Wumu, shrink his neck. He just stood up for less than two seconds before he softened at a faster speed.

"Aunt Fengchuan, please have some tea."

At the critical moment, Xiao Mu couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to help Qingmei.

The tea was not a good one, just an ordinary black tea that could be found everywhere on the market, the kind that you could drink as much as you wanted for a few thousand yen. It certainly could not be compared with the special products of the Toyokawa family.

But Mizuho Toyokawa still took it happily, and then looked at her stupid daughter with disgust, with the words "When can you learn to be as sensible as Xiaomu" written all over her face.

"Isn't it just making tea...I can do that too!"

Toyokawa Shoko murmured in her heart, but wisely did not say it out loud.

Seeing that the three of them were having fun and the atmosphere was harmonious, Bai Li didn't want to disturb this harmonious atmosphere, but after looking at the time, he still habitually said a polite word.

"It's getting late. If Ms. Fengchuan doesn't mind, would you like to stay for a quick meal?"

Mizuho Toyokawa placed her hands on her knees and kept her back straight, sitting in a very ladylike posture.

The woman seemed to have been expecting him to say this. She nodded without hesitation and said with a smile:

"Then I'm sorry to bother Bailijun."

Baili asked again:

"Are there any taboos?"

He already knew Xiaomu and Xiaoxiang's tastes very well, but he still had to serve some snacks to new customers.

"It's all right. I'm easy to take care of."

This answer doesn't seem like that of a young lady who has lived a life of luxury since childhood.

Bai Li hummed and was about to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner when the corner of his clothes was pulled.

"I'll come and help too!"

The woman's amber eyes, the same as Xiangzi's, sparkled. Seeing him looking at her, she bent her slender arms, showing off her weak biceps that had no deterrent effect, and said confidently:

"Don't look at me like this, I'm still quite confident in my cooking skills, okay? I won't cause any trouble for you!"

Standing by, Shoko Toyokawa recalled her mother's cooking skills in her mind... It can't be said to be unforgettable, it can only be said to be a biological weapon, even a mouse would say "Women are the most vicious" after eating it.

Bai Li didn't know these inside stories and was going to refuse, but when he saw Toyokawa Mizuho's expectant expression, he thought about it and decided not to spoil the fun because she was Xiaoxiang's mother and a guest.

"Then come with me."

……

Three minutes later.

Unlike many Japanese homes that adopt a semi-open design, Baili's kitchen has a private independent space, separated from the living room by a frosted glass door. The stove is clean and spotless, and there are all kinds of kitchen utensils such as microwave ovens, bread makers, juicers, etc., which are neatly arranged.

The only drawback is that the area is not that spacious, but considering that he is the one who cooks at home, it is enough for one person.

"I always keep the kitchen very clean, so there's no need to clean it. I just need to handle the ingredients, which is not a big deal."

Baili put on her apron expertly and turned around. "Ms. Fengchuan...Ms. Fengchuan?"

"Yeah... I'm here!"

Mizuho Toyokawa seemed to be frozen, her eyes uncontrollably glued to his slender figure wearing a blue apron with Doraemon pattern.

The setting sun gradually tilted in the evening, and the orange-yellow light sprinkled along the blinds, coating the beautiful young man in front of the stove with a layer of soft golden gauze.

——Suddenly looked over.

Like a dream, like a fantasy moon, like a flower that is close yet far away.

Chapter 231 In the next episode, Xiang descends from the sky, furious and ferocious!

"Well, you, you are Xiaoxiang's friend, and you are my savior."

No matter what, staring at a beautiful boy who is more than a generation older than you is not something to be praised.

Coming back to her senses from the dreamlike astonishment, Toyokawa Mizuho coughed and quickly changed the subject to cover up, "So just call me by my name, Mizuho, ​​or Mizuho-ah... ahem, Mizuho-ah-jie, either is fine."

Baili frowned.

It's not that he felt he was being taken advantage of. Although his real age was enough to be Mizuho Toyokawa's great-great-great-grandfather, seniority is not determined by age.

He and Xiaoxiang are friends, so it's no big deal for him to call Youda's mother "Auntie".

But...Sister Ruisui?

Well, if you only look at her appearance, this title does not really look out of place when applied to Mizuho Toyokawa.

But considering the mood of a certain secretary, Bai Li pondered for two seconds and tactfully chose a compromise name.

"Ms. Mizuho."

Mizuho Toyokawa was obviously not satisfied with his answer.

Calling her "Ms." or something like that always makes me feel like she's old, and she doesn't sound like someone her own age.

Although they are not of the same age, I didn't object to you calling me "Madam" before I regained my youth. But if you still call me "Madam" after I regained my youth, then wouldn't my youth have been regained in vain?

However, she couldn't force Bailijun to call her Sister Mizuho, ​​so she could only comfort herself in her heart that being able to change from "Ms. Fengchuan" to the closer "Ms. Mizuho" was half of her goal, rounded off. Win!

Bai Li didn't dwell on this topic for too long and started to prepare the ingredients for dinner. In order to make Toyokawa Mizuho feel a little involved, he assigned her the task of cutting potatoes.

There is no need to cut it into even strips, just cut it into slightly larger cubes. You will stew it with the beef brisket later. It is not difficult and you just need to have some skills.

Mizuho Toyokawa must have received special training in cooking. At least her knife-holding skills are quite standard, so she should be able to do this job easily.

The kitchen fell silent again, with only the rhythmic "dong dong" sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board.

"Speaking of which, Baili-kun, have you ever considered the identity of Metis-chan?"

After a while, Mizuho Toyokawa couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere anymore and broke the silence on her own initiative, while her hands were busy cutting potatoes.

She didn't just say it casually, but brought up the topic very specifically.

Although Metis has become independent from Xiaomu, living in modern society does not mean that you are a legal citizen of the country just because you have a body. Without documents to prove your identity, you can only be regarded as an illegal resident. Even if you want to work, you can only do the dirtiest and most tiring illegal work. If you are owed wages, you are not eligible to defend your rights, and anyone can step on you.

Bai Li had not considered this problem at first. With him around, Xiao Mo would never be bullied.

But having a legal identity is very helpful for integrating into this world, and from then on you can truly take root here and no longer be a rootless duckweed.

"Thank you Ms. Mizuho for the reminder."

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "I will solve this matter as soon as possible."

"Actually, what I mean is...if Baili-kun doesn't mind, you can let me handle this matter."

Toyokawa Mizuho said seriously, "My father always taught me to repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water. I've received so much kindness from you before, but I haven't expressed it in any way... So, please give me a chance to repay you!"

Given the size of the Toyokawa Group, even if it can't do whatever it wants in Neon, it can at least be called a local emperor.

But such a small matter is obviously not enough to repay the favor. If possible, Fengchuan Mizuho would like to pack up her entire group and give it to someone. However, the King of Xiang is interested, but the goddess is not. She can only compromise and help the king with the details.

Bai Li thought about it and didn't refuse. Although he could figure out Xiao Mo's identity by himself, since someone offered to help, it would at least save him some trouble.

"Then it's settled!"

Even though she was the one who did the hard work, Toyokawa Mizuho seemed to have gotten a great deal. The corners of her pretty lips curled up slightly, "I'll get this done as soon as possible... By the way, do I need to add Xiao Mo to Minami's relatives?"

After all, the girl was essentially born from Xiaomu's consciousness space. Although her body has no blood relationship with Mori Minami, her soul can barely be considered half her daughter.

Bai Li pondered for a moment and did not act on his own.

"...I'll ask Xiao Mo's opinion later."

"Ok."

Mizuho Toyokawa nodded obediently, pushed the cut potatoes aside, and was about to wipe the water stains on the blade, but suddenly she cried out "Ah" and a chill suddenly came from her fingertips.

The blade cut diagonally across the tip of the little finger. The wound was about two centimeters long. It was a little white at first, but soon transparent blood beads appeared, gradually forming a blood line, flowing down along the base of the finger.

The woman frowned slightly. The wound was not particularly serious, but it was very painful.

"Mr. Baili, do you have any Band-Aids?"

When cooking at home, Mizuho Toyokawa often cut her fingers with the kitchen knife. She didn't make a fuss, but was a little annoyed, thinking she should have been more careful.

Now... she's bound to be seen as clumsy, right?

"The Band-Aid is in the nightstand in the bedroom."

Bai Li shook his head slightly, "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just leave it to me."

For small wounds like this, using spiritual power to heal them will only be more effective faster.

Mizuho Toyokawa obviously also thought that the beautiful boy in front of her had more convenient and more magical means, so she took a few steps forward, biting her lip embarrassedly, like a little girl who had gotten into trouble.

"I'm sorry, I should have been more careful."
