Watanabe Toru shook his head: "Auntie, please accept it. This hairpin goes perfectly with your kimono. I spent a long time choosing it."
"But……"
"If Auntie doesn't accept it, I don't want the scarf anymore." Watanabe Toru threatened.
Mrs. Yoshida looked helpless: "Why is this happening?"
"I like you very much, so I want you to be beautiful forever." Watanabe Toru looked at Mrs. Yoshida seriously. "Not only hairpins, but when I grow up, I will buy you lots of clothes and jewelry."
Adults are very happy when children make promises. Mrs. Yoshida squatted down, touched Watanabe Toru's little face, and said softly: "Auntie doesn't need to buy clothes and jewelry for Xiao Che. As long as Xiao Che is safe and healthy, that's all."
"What about the hairpin number 17?"
"Okay, Auntie will accept it. Thank you, Xiao Che."
Watanabe Toru finally smiled again and mentioned his exam: "By the way, Auntie, I got first place in the final exam again."
"I heard it from Ayumi." Mrs. Yoshida praised: "Xiaotetsu, you are really amazing."
"Does Auntie have any reward?"
Looking at Watanabe Toru's pouting mouth, Mrs. Yoshida was a little amused. She lowered her head and pecked him on the mouth, then asked, "Is this okay now?"
Watanabe Toru nodded with a smile: "Okay."
After coming out of Mrs. Yoshida's bedroom, Watanabe Toru went to find Ayumi who had returned to her room. Seeing that she was hesitating about where to put the music box, he suggested: "Why not put it on the desk? When you get tired of reading, you can listen to music to relax."
"Well...then let's listen to Xiao Tetsu." Ayumi put the music box on the desk.
Watanabe Toru took the initiative to move closer to Ayumi and said in a low voice: "Ayumi, I just told my aunt that I got first place in the exam, and she kissed me."
"Ah?" Ayumi opened her mouth in surprise, then said angrily, "How could Mom do this?"
"Are you jealous?" Watanabe Toru teased her deliberately.
Ayumi wrinkled her cute little nose: "Xiaotuo will marry me in the future, so even if you are my mother, you can't kiss me casually."
"So... do you want to kiss me back?"
Toru Watanabe felt that he was no different from a beast at this moment. In order to complete the task, he actually persuaded a loli to kiss him.
Damn it.
"Yes!" Ayumi said without hesitation.
She stood on tiptoe slightly, kissed Watanabe Toru on the mouth, then lowered her head shyly.
Watanabe Toru looked at her with a smile: "Ayumi, this is a secret between us, don't tell anyone else."
"Yeah." Ayumi's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
……
After politely declining Mrs. Yoshida's invitation to stay for lunch, Toru Watanabe returned to the Mori Detective Agency.
"I'm back."
"You're back, Che."
Xiaolan, who was cleaning, looked towards the door and saw Watanabe Toru holding several gift bags. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huh? Xiao Toru, did you go shopping?"
"Yeah." Watanabe Toru nodded: "This is a Christmas gift for everyone."
"Christmas gift?" Xiaolan was stunned.
Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting in a swivel chair reading a newspaper, also put down the newspaper.
"Yes." Watanabe Toru put the gift bag on the sofa, picked out the gifts for Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro, and said, "My uncle and aunt and I are very grateful for the care you have given us, so we bought gifts for everyone on this holiday. This is for Xiaolan, and this is for Uncle Maori. This is for you."
He gave Xiaolan a jewel necklace and gave Mouri Kogoro a pair of branded sunglasses.
Xiaolan hadn't reacted yet. She looked at the gift in her hand, then at Watanabe Toru, and asked, "Xiao Toru, where did you get so much money?"
Watanabe Toru had already thought of the wording: "When my aunt knew I was going to give everyone gifts, she not only gave me money, but also gave me a lot of advice."
"But this..."
Xiaolan wanted to say that the gift was too valuable and she couldn't accept it.
Maori Kogoro said, "Since this is a gift from Xiaoche and his aunt, then we should accept it, Xiaolan. When Xiaoche's uncle and aunt come to visit us in the future, we will entertain them well."
Xiaolan hesitated again, thinking that if she didn't accept it, it might affect Watanabe Toru's mood, so she decided to wait until she saw Xiaoche's aunt next time before returning it.
He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take it first."
Maori Kogoro pointed at the other gifts on the sofa and asked curiously, "Are these also gifts?"
"Yeah." Watanabe Toru nodded: "These are for Aunt Fei, Sister Sonoko, Sister Ayako, Aunt Tomoko and others."
"You are thoughtful."
Watanabe Toru looked at Xiaolan and said, "Sister Xiaolan, let's go to Aunt Fei and Sister Sonoko's place this afternoon."
"Okay." Xiaolan nodded and said with a smile: "Mom 890 and Sonoko will be very happy if Xiaoche prepares gifts for them."
……
noon.
After dinner, Xiaolan and Toru Watanabe came to the law firm of Eri Kisaki.
"Merry Christmas, Mom (Auntie)."
After seeing Eri Kisaki, the brother and sister handed over the gifts they had prepared.
"Wow!" Kisaki Eri's face was filled with surprise. She accepted the gift and thanked him, "Thank you, Xiaolan, and thank you, Xiaotetsu. I have gifts for you too. It's a good thing you're here, so I don't have to go over there after work."
After hearing what Kisaki Eri said, Xiaolan felt a little regretful. If she and Xiaotuo didn't come to see their mother, could their family celebrate Christmas Eve together tonight?
Because Kisaki Eri still had to meet a client, Toru Watanabe and Ran did not stay long. After the three of them made an appointment to have dinner together next time, they said goodbye to Kisaki Eri and left the office.
……
"Xiaolan, Xiaotuo!"
At the Suzuki family's villa, Sonoko came out to greet her best friend and her lover.
"Yuanzi, Merry Christmas." Xiaolan said with a smile.
Watanabe Toru answered from behind: "Merry Christmas, Sonoko-sister."
"Merry Christmas." Sonoko glanced at the gifts in the two people's hands and asked with a smile, "Is this a gift for me?"
282. Next is Suzuki and her daughter
In the villa, Suzuki Ayako was decorating the Christmas tree with the servants.
This is a European fir tree that is as tall as the ceiling. It has a beautiful shape and a faint smell of wood.
A maid climbed up the ladder, and Suzuki Ayako was below handing her accessories and instructing her how to dress up.
Cotton acts as white snow, balloons, ribbons, and gift boxes are hung, and tree trunks and branches are decorated with colorful lights. The degree of completion is quite high, and it is very dreamy just by looking at it.
As expected of the Suzuki Group, a Christmas tree like this alone would cost almost an average white-collar worker a year's salary. Watanabe Toru sighed.
"Sister, Toru has brought you a gift." Sonoko said loudly to Suzuki Ayako.
"Huh?" Suzuki Ayako turned around, her delicate and elegant face showing a little surprise, as if she didn't expect Watanabe Toru to give her a gift.
"Merry Christmas, Sister Ayako." Toru Watanabe handed the gift to Suzuki Ayako.
"Ah... Merry Christmas." Suzuki Ayako put away her surprise and took it with a smile: "Thank you, Xiao Che."
"You're welcome. It seems like I haven't seen Sister Ayako for a long time." Watanabe Toru said.
"Yes, my studies have been quite heavy lately." Suzuki Ayako nodded and smiled, "But I've heard mom talk about you, Toru, all the time. She said you've helped our Suzuki family more than once."
Watanabe Toru scratched his head: "It's just good luck."
"That's all thanks to Xiao Che. By the way, I've encountered some problems with the violin. Could you please help me solve them later?"
"no problem."
"That's great, Xiao Che really helped me a lot."
"..."
The two chatted for a while, and Watanabe Toru looked around and said, "Are uncle and auntie home? I have prepared gifts for them too."
"Dad's in a meeting at the company, and Mom's in the kitchen preparing dinner with the servants." Suzuki Ayako said, "Do you want me to take you there?"
"No, I know the way." Watanabe Toru waved his hand and turned to Sonoko and Xiaolan and said, "Sister Xiaolan, Sister Sonoko, I'm going to look for Aunt Tomoko first."
"Go ahead." Sonoko crossed her arms and nodded.
In the kitchen, Tomoko Suzuki and three servants were preparing dinner for tonight.
There is a wide variety of ingredients on the cooking table.
Roast suckling pig, sausages, ham, stews, steaks, lamb chops, pork chops.
Mashed potatoes, French fries, puff pastry tarts, salads, various puddings, and various fruit pies.
There are also takoyaki, sushi, grilled eel, dumplings, puffs, etc.
Tomoko Suzuki stands in front of the oven, baking a cake.
It's worthy of the life of a rich person. Just for a festival, he put up a "Man Han Banquet".
Watanabe Toru thought to himself and greeted Suzuki Tomoko: "Aunt Tomoko, Merry Christmas."
Suzuki Tomoko turned around and saw that it was Watanabe Toru, and asked in surprise: "Little Toru?"
She wiped her hands and walked over: "Why are you here? Are you here alone?"
Watanabe Toru shook his head and took out the gift hidden behind him: "I'm here to give a gift to my aunt."
"Huh?" Like everyone else, Suzuki Tomoko was taken aback when Watanabe Toru handed over the gift: "For me?"
"Yeah." Watanabe Toru nodded. "I've already given the gifts to Sister Sonoko and Sister Ayako. This one is for Aunt Tomoko. As for Uncle Suzuki, I'll have to ask Aunt to pass it on to me when the time comes."
A warm feeling surged in her heart, Suzuki Tomoko pursed her lips, and her eyes became softer.
"Okay, I'll pass it on to your uncle. By the way, Xiao Che, come with me. Auntie has prepared a gift for you as well."
She took Watanabe Toru's hand, left the kitchen and went to her bedroom.
Watanabe Toru was the lucky star of the Suzuki Group, and Suzuki Tomoko had once wanted to adopt him as her adopted son. Naturally, Suzuki Tomoko had prepared a gift for him. She had wanted to find time to deliver it in the afternoon, but who would have thought that Watanabe Toru would come over on his own.
"Here, Che."
Tomoko Suzuki handed the prepared gift to Toru Watanabe.
Watanabe Toru took it with both hands and thanked him, "Thank you, Aunt Tomoko. Can I open it and take a look?"
"Of course." Suzuki Tomoko said with a smile.
Toru Watanabe opened the gift box and found a watch inside.
Although I don't know what brand it is, given the financial resources of the Suzuki family, the gift they gave out would not be cheap, if not worth a fortune.
Watanabe Toru exclaimed in surprise, "What a beautiful watch! Thank you, Auntie."
"Do you want your aunt to put it on you?" asked Tomoko Suzuki.
"it is good."
Tomoko Suzuki took the watch out of the gift box, held Toru Watanabe's wrist and helped him put it on.
"It's quite suitable." Suzuki Tomoko nodded with satisfaction, and then changed her tone to a serious one: "Xiao Che, a watch has a special meaning for a man. Auntie hopes that when Xiao Che grows up, he will become a man who stands at the top and is admired by others."
Although Toru Watanabe was still a child, the seeds of Suzuki Tomoko's expectations for him had already been planted at this moment.
Watanabe Toru put on an expression that seemed to understand: "I understand, Aunt Tomoko, I will try my best."
"So good." Suzuki Ayako touched his head and bent down to kiss him on the mouth.
This action made Watanabe Toru extremely happy. He was originally worrying about how to get a kiss from Suzuki Tomoko, but now he didn't have to think of a reason.
When Suzuki Tomoko and I came out of the bedroom, we ran into Sonoko walking towards us.
"Mom." Sonoko looked at the two of them: "Are you done talking? I have something to say to Xiaoche."
"Then you guys chat, I'll go see how the dinner preparations are going."
"it is good."
