"Actually, Dad doesn't bet on horses anymore recently."
Ran Mouri took Eri Kisaki's arm and walked into a Western restaurant called "Memory".
"I guess maybe we're short of money again?" said Kisaki Eri.
"No, Dad has received a lot of commissions recently—"
The restaurant waiter came over and led the two to a seat by the window.
There weren't many people eating at this time, and the atmosphere seemed a bit deserted. The sunlight shone through the glass windows onto the floor, and the air was filled with the scent of high-end fragrances.
The decoration of this store is very interesting, with a retro and nostalgic style. The tables and chairs are said to be purchased from the manor of an impoverished noble in the UK and have a history of hundreds of years. It is impossible to confirm whether this statement is true or not, but this gimmick can still attract many customers.
Because Kisaki Eri had a client to meet in the evening, she had to change the appointment from the evening to the afternoon.
This also ruined Xiaolan's original plan of using this opportunity to reconcile her parents.
But for Xiaolan, being able to go shopping and eating with her mother is already very happy. What's more, she has a problem that has been bothering her recently and wants to talk to Kisaki Eri about it.
The waiter placed water in front of the two of them and handed Kisaki Eri a menu.
Kisaki Eri ordered a few of Xiaolan's favorite dishes, and then the mother and daughter started chatting while eating.
The topic was relatively normal at the beginning.
Xiaolan talked about some interesting things that happened in the school, talked about Kogoro Maori's recent case solving, and talked about some things that happened in the blue castle, but she concealed the beautiful things that happened between her and Chen Nuo in the secret passage.
When they were almost done eating, Xiaolan picked up the cup and took a sip: "Mom, were you ever pursued by anyone when you were young?"
Kisaki Eri put down her wine glass.
She leaned her back against the chair, revealing the full shape of her dress.
Two full and beautiful legs overlapped together, this posture matched with her black frame gold wire glasses,
She looks like a queen.
In fact, Eri Kisaki had long noticed that something was not right with Xiaolan, and she had been a little absent-minded. At first, she thought that it was because Kogoro Mouri had gambled again and the family's financial situation was tight again, which was why Xiaolan was like this.
I didn't expect it to be an emotional problem.
Kisaki Eri tried to keep her tone as gentle as possible: "Why are you asking this? Did someone confess to you recently?"
Xiaolan nodded.
"Is it Chen Nuo?" Fei Yingli sighed.
"No, no———." Fei Yingli's sharp gaze made Xiaolan's voice become smaller and smaller, "He—
He vaguely expressed that he liked me. "
Xiaolan was too embarrassed to tell the truth.
Not only did Chen Nuo implicitly express his intention to pursue her, he also took the initiative several times in his actions, and she even responded to him once.
But how can I tell my mother about this?
Kisaki Eri took off her glasses and rubbed her eyebrows.
She didn't expect that things would develop into the situation she least wanted to see.
It’s not that Kisaki Eri doesn’t like Chen Nuo. In fact, she doesn’t want Xiaolan and Kudo Shinichi to be together. She and Mouri Kogoro are childhood sweethearts who got together. Because they know each other too well, their way of getting along is different from that of ordinary couples.
Sometimes unnecessary friction occurs because of this reason.
Moreover, in addition to being her childhood sweetheart, Kudo Shinichi is also a detective, and a very good reasoning geek. This is actually what Kisaki Eri cares about the most.
Because Xiaolan's personality is actually quite different from hers. Perhaps because she grew up in a special environment, Xiaolan actually has a slightly people-pleasing personality, and she is the kind of person who particularly wants to have a happy and harmonious family.
If the two of them were together, what would most likely happen is that Kudo Shinichi would be busy with cases outside every day, and Xiaolan would take care of the house alone.
There's no need to even wait until marriage. I heard from Xiaolan that she hasn't seen Kudo Shinichi for several months, and Chen Nuo is actually not a good choice either.
He is so mysterious.
He gives people an unpredictable feeling. He is also a detective and is closely involved with the Tie Group.
The brief contact before made Hibiki Eri feel that if she faced a man like this, she might not be able to keep him tightly by her side.
Not to mention Xiaolan.
But what puzzled Hibiki was why Chen Nuo liked Xiaolan. She remembered that during the barbecue party, he avoided Xiaolan as much as possible.
Did something happen during this period of time?
The mother and daughter chatted about this topic for a long time, and Kisaki Eri also talked about some interesting stories about being confessed to when she was young.
Finally, Kisaki Eri's advice was to not make a choice yet and to focus on studies. Xiaolan's personality meant that she would not be the kind of girl who would frequently change boyfriends, so it was okay for her to fall in love later.
Another reason was that Hibiki Eri decided to talk to Chen Nuo in person to find out what he really meant.
Although he once saved himself.
But one thing is another, and she will never compromise on the issue of her daughter's happiness.
Kisaki Eri picked up the glass and drank the red wine in it.
At this moment, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd outside the restaurant:
"Yes? Isn't that a garden?"
Xiaolan raised her head and looked out through the glass window.
Two hours ago, on the streets of Mihua Commercial Street.
"Asshole! Dirty! Pervert!"
Every time Suzuki Sonoko spoke a word, she would push her feet harder, and her black strappy sandals made a crackling sound on the tiles of the commercial street.
She seemed to want to use this method to wash away the insult she had just suffered in the love hotel.
Chen Nuo and Yuan Zi had already come out of the couple's hotel and were standing on the street of Mihua Commercial Street. Because it was a holiday, although it was already afternoon, there were still many pedestrians on the street.
However, the "quarrelling couple" Chen Nuo and Suzuki Sonoko did not attract too much attention.
This kind of scene of couples quarreling in the street happens every day and everyone is used to it.
Chen Nuo even felt that the men around him, who seemed to be watching the fun seriously, were actually secretly looking at Suzuki Sonoko's legs.
It's no wonder, Suzuki Sonoko's long and slender legs under her black mini dress are already very charming.
Plus, she had just washed herself 100 times in the hotel bathroom for "special reasons" - Chen Nuo felt that her statement was a bit exaggerated, but he didn't dare to refute it for the time being.
At this moment, the two beautiful legs under the skirt present a crystal clear texture, and the delicate and soft thigh skin feels like one could sink into it with just a slight pressure.
This made many people around look at Chen Nuo with envy, thinking "This kid must have tasted this pair of beautiful legs a lot."
Chen Nuo could have glared back with a clear conscience.
But not anymore.
Because he had just been disarmed by Suzuki Sonoko using those little feet in the black strappy sandals.
After venting for a while, Suzuki Sonoko noticed that more and more people were looking at her, and she felt a little embarrassed to continue.
She glared at Chen Nuo fiercely, then turned and walked forward.
Chen Nuo was still holding Suzuki Sonoko's bag in his hand, so he quickly followed.
Yuanzi was still angry and was walking very fast. He accidentally stepped on an oil stain and fell backwards.
"Be careful."
Chen Nuo stretched out his hand to support her back.
This posture made Suzuki Sonoko subconsciously recall the night when she was chased by the bandaged monster. It seemed that Chen Nuo also appeared in this way and saved her.
The greasy feeling when you accidentally step on oil stains.
It also made her suddenly recall the time when Chen Nuo had contaminated her feet with dirty things.
Suzuki Sonoko's face flushed slightly.
Damn, is this bastard a monster?
Why are there so many?!
Suzuki Sonoko recalled the scene when she took her feet out from under the table and saw sticky liquid dripping down her toes, which had just been painted with aqua blue nail polish.
It was precisely because of the influence of these two completely opposite emotions that Suzuki Sonoko did not really lose her temper, otherwise she would have asked her bodyguards to cut Chen Nuo into pieces.
Suzuki Sonoko pushed Chen Nuo away and walked forward angrily.
In fact, it’s no wonder that Yuanzi reacted so strongly.
Although she always talked about finding her senior brother, perhaps because of bad luck, she never met her true son of destiny, and she had never even held his hand.
He is a standard master of theory.
But I didn't expect that on my first date with that bastard Chen Nuo, Chen Nuo would...
"I really didn't mean it." Chen Nuo said from behind.
"Is it still useful to say this now?" Suzuki Sonoko's tone was a little low.
"So - how about just pretending it never happened?"
"Asshole, do you want to evade responsibility?" Suzuki Sonoko turned around suddenly and grabbed Chen Nuo's collar.
Chen Nuo: "Then I am responsible?"
"Who would like you, you pervert!" Suzuki Sonoko showed a vicious expression, but her tone seemed a little softer than before.
Chen Nuo looked helpless: "Then what do you want to do?"
Suzuki Sonoko opened her mouth, but no words came out for a long time.
In fact, she herself didn't know what to do. If the decision was so easy, she wouldn't have been struggling with it until now.
If I just let it go and not make it a fuss with Chen Nuo, would he think that I am a frivolous woman?
It would be difficult for a normal girl to let go of something like this, right?
But if she wanted to punish him, Yuanzi couldn't think of a suitable way for a while.
Damn it, why would this bastard throw this kind of question to me? Where is your manly responsibility?
Shouldn't I think of a suitable way at this time that can both calm my anger and let this matter pass smoothly?
Suzuki Sonoko was secretly complaining in her heart.
At this time, a light sound came from across the street. Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and found that it was the electronic equipment at the entrance of the video game city opposite that was playing music to attract customers.
She had been to this shop with Xiaolan before. There were many facilities inside. Players would be given a certain amount of points for each game, and the points could be saved and exchanged for different prizes. This was similar to the model of a small steel pin shop.
Looking at the colorfully lit sign of the arcade, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly thought of a way to solve her current dilemma.
If you can get the crocodile doll that can be exchanged for 10 game points in the arcade, I will let you go for now." Suzuki Sonoko said, pointing to the sign opposite.
"Ah? Play games?" Chen Nuo was stunned. He didn't expect her to make this request.
"What? You don't want to?" Sonoko hugged her shoulders, "Then you will have to bear the wrath of the Suzuki Group."
Although he said that, Chen Nuo, who knew Yuanzi's character well, knew that she would never use her family's power to bully him.
In addition, although it was Suzuki Sonoko who first suggested having dinner at the hotel, he still took more advantage in the end, and he felt a little sorry for Sonoko at this moment.
Chen Nuo: "Okay, I'll try it. Can I play anything I want?"
"Small steel balls and the like are not acceptable. They have to be exchanged individually. Only game items are acceptable," said Sonoko.
In fact, she knew very well that even if a normal person played until the arcade closed today, he would not be able to collect 100,000 points.
She just wanted to use this method to delay and punish this bastard at the same time.
As for the crocodile doll, she actually complained about it to Xiaolan last time. Who would spend 100,000 points in exchange for such an ugly thing?
"I'll try it." Chen Nuo nodded.
"Well, I, I won't go. I'll take a rest at a nearby dessert shop. Tell me when you're better." Suzuki Sonoko said hesitantly.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat?"
"It's too noisy in there. I don't want to go and suffer with you." Suzuki Sonoko took out a card from her bag. "Here, this is my card. The money in it is enough for you to play. All the points you win will be automatically deposited into this account, so you can't cheat."
Chen Nuo was shocked.
In fact, Suzuki Sonoko just didn't want to be with Chen Nuo.
