"You were the one who wanted to make that bet with Ran and Sonoko—"

"You have to accept the consequences of your bet, so don't blame me!"

"Besides, the fact that you lost to Ran and Sonoko in a bet like this shows that you don't know me well enough, Ayako!"

"Ah, right, right, right!" Ayako blinked her beautiful eyes mischievously:

"I certainly don't know you as well as Ran and Sonoko do—"

"After all, those two are your most precious little darlings, I can't compare to them~"

"ah!"

Xiao Lan playfully scratched Lingzi:

"Ayako-neechan, what you're saying is so cheesy, 'little darling'..."

"I think Ayako is right—"

Xia Ye wrapped her arm around Lingzi's slender waist and took Xiao Lan's small hand, her eyes filled with laughter:

"Aren't Ran and Sonoko my little darlings!"

"Huh!!!"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi gave an exaggerated shiver and rolled their eyes at Xia Ye in unison:

"Too greasy!"

Is it greasy?

Xia Ye sighed: "I thought these sweet words would make you young girls throw yourselves into my arms!"

"Of course, it's acceptable for someone to throw themselves into your arms—"

After all, this level of intimate contact was commonplace for Ran and Sonoko; they were used to even more exciting things, but—

"It's still very greasy!"

"Ah! I'm so sad!"

Xia Ye lay back, "heartbroken," hugging Lingzi's waist and sobbing.

"I can't get up without comfort!"

"If you can't get up, then forget it!"

Ran and Sonoko exchanged a glance, stuck their tongues out at Natsume at the same time, made a face, and turned to leave hand in hand.

"As for comforting you, you still have another one in your arms, let Ayako-nee comfort you—"

"Anyway, it's just the two of you left here, you can do whatever you want!"

"You betrayed me!"

Ayako never imagined she would be sold to Natsume by two little girls:

"I've been spoiling you 14 people for nothing!"

"Ayako-nee, let's go grab a bite to eat first, we'll come 'rescue' you in a bit!"

Ran and Sonoko waved their hands behind their backs, and although they said such things, they left the pool rest area without looking back.

"Summer Leaves..."

Ayako was still being held around the waist by Natsume.

She could only turn back to him pitifully and say:

"I want to go eat too..."

"We'll talk about it later—"

Xia Ye tightened his grip on the soft, boneless waist, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his lips:

"Let me eat first—"

"What to eat?"

Ayako knew this would happen. She rolled her beautiful eyes at him helplessly and gave up trying to struggle.

I adjusted to a comfortable position and then gave up.

Xia Ye rolled over and placed Lingzi on the recliner, his eyes freely admiring her alluring figure that stirred up all sorts of fantasies.

"Beauty is food for the eyes, don't you think?"

"Hate!"

"..."

The night at Suzuki Estate was peaceful.

Xia Ye had no intention of hosting an all-night impart.

After spending some time being affectionate with Ayako by the pool, I took her to find Ran and Sonoko.

Okay, this is actually a small-scale impart, just not as big as before.

...

The next morning.

When Xia Ye woke up, there was no one beside him.

Ayako, Sonoko, and Ran had obviously gotten up and left the room long ago.

"Yuko, where are they?"

After getting dressed and opening the door, Xia Ye looked at the little maid not far down the corridor:

"You didn't even leave anyone to keep me company!"

"whee--"

Yuko and Natsume have become quite close now, and Yuko has even been "eaten up" by Natsume, so she's no longer as reserved as before. She blinked and chuckled:

"Second Miss and Miss Ran have already gone to school. Eldest Miss is currently in the living room with Madam and Miss Yukiko—"

"I'll go arrange breakfast. What would you like to eat?"

"The usual—"

Xia Ye yawned and waved her hand:

"I'll head over now~"

"Ok!"

.....

in the living room.

Xia Ye ate a simple meal of soy milk and fried dough sticks.

As a Chinese person.

This is his standard breakfast item.

Unfortunately, you can't find authentic Hu spicy soup here in Japan.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be wonderful to have a bowl every morning?

He was already preparing to send someone to Henan Province to invite people.

We'll invite one person each from Xiaoyao Town and Beiwudu, and they can eat whatever flavor they want!

What are your plans for today?

Xia Ye sat in front of a pure white coffee table made of some kind of jade, slurping down her soy milk in a very unladylike manner.

On the sofa opposite him, three stunningly beautiful women were chatting leisurely and lazily, creating a scene that was both contrasting and harmonious.

"I'm planning to take Kiko to her estate in Shizuoka for a few days—"

Tomoko lightly brushed her long hair, which had now reached her shoulders, and said with a smile, "Although our home is nice in every way, it's still in the city, and the air isn't as fresh as it is in the mountains. I've already arranged everything at the estate in Shizuoka, so Yukiko can go there and change her mood~"

"That's fine~"

Xia Ye glanced at Yukiko's still flat stomach under her thin silk pajamas. She had already given Yukiko a set of injections to prevent miscarriage last time. Strictly speaking, even if Yukiko went bungee jumping, there would be no problem with the baby in her belly. But it's nice for her to walk around now.

Where's Bei?

Vermouth stayed overnight at the Suzuki Estate last night.

Now she's wearing the same pajamas as Yukiko.

Her aura was gentle and warm, making her look nothing like the ruthless witch she once was.

"I'm going with Yukiko~"

Vermouth's beautiful eyes held a faint smile:

"I've already spoken to the boss. From now on, all the matters I was in charge of will be handled by you. You can deal with him. I'm retiring!"

"Isn't this much better!"

Yukiko hugged Vermouth's arm and giggled:

"Sharon, you used to be always busy with all sorts of random things, now you'd better play with me and have some fun!"

"hehe--"

Vermouth patted her head. "Although with Xia Ye around, you won't run into any problems with your carefree attitude, but don't go too crazy!"

"I know!"

Yukiko grasped Vermouth's hand and looked at Natsume:

Who are you planning to go to Kyoto with?

Have you asked them?

"Ayako?"

Xia Ye turned to look at Ayako sitting next to her.

"I can't go!"

"Who do you think will take care of things after my mother leaves?"

Ayako sighed. She used to think about leaving this family and getting rid of the responsibilities that had been imposed on her since childhood. But she never expected that, after all this time, she would still have to take care of this family herself. If only the baby in Yukiko's belly could grow up instantly!

"Sigh! We all have it tough!"

Xia Ye had a look of sympathy for him; Sister Bei had just given him a whole bunch of things to do—though he could just ignore the BOSS if he wanted to.

"Humph!"

"What do you mean by 'everyone has it tough'!"

Ayako, unaware of his identity, gave him a reproachful glare.

"You're always slacking off!"

"Only I'm putting in the mental and physical effort!"

"I've had it the hardest!"

"Cough cough!"

Xia Ye coughed lightly; it was indeed the case.

While she spent her days doing nothing, Ayako was constantly being assigned numerous corporate management tasks by Tomoko.

The key is that she is irreplaceable.

Sonoko aside, Yuko is a helper, and also one of our own.

But since she's not in charge, the elites in the family office also need someone to make decisions, so it has to be Ayako!

"lets change a topic!"

Xia Ye abruptly changed the subject: "If we go to Kyoto, Ran and Sonoko have to go to school, and the rest of you are all busy. As for Miwako, she and Yumi both have to work. Eri, I haven't even asked Eri yet—"

"Take Eri with you!"

Yukiko suddenly interjected, "When she was young, Eri loved the scenery of Kyoto the most. Later, she was busy with work and didn't go to Kyoto much. She just finished a case recently, so why don't you take her there and have some fun!"
