Conan: Top succubus, crazy CP

Chapter 880: I’m most afraid of being gentle when I feel wronged

"boom!"

The door was slammed shut.

The sound echoed in the silent house.

Hei Yu Qianying walked in alone from the entrance, holding an axe. There was a trace of imperceptible loneliness on her delicate and beautiful face. The loneliness was like a shadow, quietly climbing up her face.

The axe was thrown down casually, and the beautiful woman curled up on the sofa, as if she had lost all her strength.

At this moment, she was no longer the Hei Yu Qianying who was chasing her son and seemed to be ready to kill her own family for the sake of justice, nor was she the Phantom Thief Lady who once dominated the martial arts world and made countless people tremble in fear.

She is just a little woman who silently contributes to her family but never seems to get the respect she deserves.

Her own son actually asked her to seduce other men.

How ridiculous and sad...

"What on earth do I mean in this family?"

Hei Yu Qianying couldn't give herself an answer.

Kaito's last words, "Your last name isn't Kuroba," still echoed clearly in her ears. Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.

The living room was dead silent, so quiet that you could hear the ticking of the wall clock.

It was unknown how long had passed before the figure curled up on the sofa began to move. Heiyu Qianying took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision. He stood up from the sofa and walked upstairs with heavy steps.

In the bedroom.

Hei Yu Qianying walked to a hidden corner with ease and took out a mobile phone from the secret compartment.

Her slender and graceful fingers hovered over the phone keyboard for a long time before finally dialing the familiar number.

"It's me." Her voice was calm, unlike her own.

A familiar breathing sound came from the other end of the phone. After a moment of silence, Hei Yu Daoyi's voice rang out: "Qian Ying? What happened?"

The voice that once haunted her dreams now sounded so strange.

It has been ten years since Kuroba Toichi faked his death to avoid being hunted by the "Zoo". They have not met each other and have only been able to keep in touch through phone calls or video calls.

Those brief exchanges seem so insignificant in the long years.

"Your son has grown up." Hei Yu Qianying sneered, "He asked me to seduce a high school student just for a copy of 'Dark Night Star Record'."

"The Dark Night Star Record?!" Hei Yu Daoyi's voice suddenly rose, "Didn't that book already..."

"Kaito said he saw it, and there's a spider emblem on it." Kuroba Chikage interrupted him, not wanting to hear his surprise and questions. "Guess who he asked me to get close to? Hanyu Kusunoki, a student."

There was a sound of a cup knocking over from the other end of the line.

Kuroba Toichi asked hurriedly, "Is it that... Hanyu Kusunoki who has recently become famous in the Eastern Capital?"

He faked his death, but that doesn't mean he lost contact with the outside world.

"Why?" Hei Yu Qianying raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, "You also think this is a good idea?"

"If we can really get the 'Dark Night Star Record'..." Hei Yu Daoyi's voice was filled with enthusiasm, "Qianying, you know what this means! We don't have to hide anymore, we can..."

"Can you do what?" Kuroba Chikage's voice was as cold as ice. "Can we reunite as a family? Or can you continue to pursue that damn gem?"

Her emotions finally exploded.

Years of pent-up dissatisfaction and anger burst forth.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Hei Yu Qianying could imagine Daoyi's expression at this moment - just like every time they discussed Pandora's gem, there was only paranoid fanaticism in his eyes, as if the whole world only had that mysterious gem.

"Qianying, I believe that with your skills, it should be easy to deal with a young man..." Hei Yu Daoyi finally spoke in a low voice, "And, for the sake of this family..."

"Home?" Hei Yu Qianying suddenly laughed. "You call this home? A husband who hasn't seen me for ten years and didn't even show up for his son's coming-of-age ceremony? A husband who lets his wife seduce someone else?"

Her nails dug deep into her palms, but she felt no pain.

"Qianying, listen to me..."

"No, listen to me," Hei Yu Qianying interrupted her husband. "Your son wants me to seduce a high school student just for a meaningless book? And you... actually agree?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone again.

Hei Yu Qianying's heart grew colder little by little.

She suddenly realized that both her husband and son only had their own goals in mind and never really considered her feelings.

The home she had always thought she was protecting turned out to be just her own fantasy.

"I just......"

Kuroba Toichi tried to defend himself.

"You're just like Kaito, you only care about yourself." Kuroba Chikage took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calmer. "Okay, I'll take this mission."

The moment she hung up the phone, the beautiful woman seemed to have all her strength drained away. She slid down to the floor and stared at the family photo on the dressing table - it was taken on Kaito's 8th birthday and was also their last photo together.

In the photo, Daoyi put his arm around her shoulders and smiled gently.

Who could have imagined that three months later, he would "die" in a magic show, leaving her to raise her son alone and watch him follow in his footsteps...

"Ah......"

Hei Yu Qianying suddenly felt extremely ridiculous.

She was once a powerful and influential thief, a lady who gave up her job to cook for love, but what did she get in return? Her husband's fake death, her son's estrangement, and now she was being used as bait...

The beautiful woman looked up at the ceiling with a curved brow.

The phone screen lit up again, and it was a text message from Kaito: [Mom, I was wrong, but this time it’s really important!]

Hei Yu Qianying came back to his senses, lowered his head and stared at the text message for a long time, then suddenly dialed another number.

"Hello?" The call was quickly connected, and the boy's clear voice with a hint of laughter came, "What's wrong? Has Xiao Qianying had dinner yet?"

A simple greeting completely destroyed the already shaky defense line in the Phantom Girl's heart.

That boy was always like this. He behaved like a devil, but he could always give her just the right amount of warmth when she was most vulnerable and helpless, allowing her to see a ray of light in the darkness.

"Not yet..." she answered softly, unconsciously clutching the corner of her clothes.

"Why aren't you eating so late?" There was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone. "Do you want me to prepare some food and send it over? You won't be pretty if you get skinny and hungry~"

The boy's gentle words were like a spring breeze, gently brushing across her heart, yet seemed to carry a magical power that made the lady's tears burst out uncontrollably.

People are sometimes so fragile.

What I fear most is the sudden tenderness when being wronged.

"Owner......"

The name that once made Hei Yu Qianying feel ashamed now made her feel an unprecedented sense of security when she called it out.

At this moment, she made the decision to follow her heart.
