"Pfft——!"
Megure Midori couldn't help but cover her red lips with a smile.
It wasn't that she was reserved, but rather—
She had just taken a sip of porridge when she was so shocked by the news that she almost spat it out. Even though everyone sitting here was her own family, it would still be impolite to spit out her food!
"Xia Ye, you're so mean!"
Miwako gently wiped her mouth, her beautiful eyes slightly reproachful.
Junzo Sumitomo is actually a celebrity. He's a well-known playboy who's often involved in scandals with female celebrities and news anchors. He's obviously a womanizer, and with his money and power, he must have ruined many girls. His current "tragic" experience is just karma!
This is also why Miwako had no objection to Natsume punishing Sumitomo Junzo no matter what—
Xia Ye shouldn't treat an ordinary person like this without a reason.
Even if she doesn't stop it, she'll still feel uncomfortable!
Unlike now, people just treat the tragedy that happened to Junzo Sumitomo as a source of amusement!
"Why is it broken?"
Natsume ate a wagashi (Japanese sweet) filled with mung bean paste that Midorima had made herself, then looked at Yumi, whose pretty face showed a somewhat complicated expression, and said with a smile:
"I'm just standing up for Yumi!"
"Wouldn't that be too—"
Yumi's beautiful eyes seemed somewhat lost.
She had scoffed at the kind of brainless romance plot where the young master of a powerful family or conglomerate gets a beating after being wronged.
However, when this happened to her in real life, she was somewhat at a loss.
Her family was just an ordinary family, incomparable to a behemoth like the Sumitomo Group. To be honest, if it weren't for Xia Ye, and she had caught the eye of Junzo Sumitomo, the consequences would have been—
Maybe I really am going to die!
Thinking about it this way, the sense of security Xia Ye gave her was really stable and quiet. She hadn't realized this before, and she wasn't afraid at all even when she was entangled by the young master of a big family. Only now did she realize that Xia Ye was there for her!
"Too what?"
Xia Ye lightly flicked her forehead, feigning anger, and said:
"You're not going to say something excessive, are you?"
"how come!"
Yumi quickly shook her head. She wasn't some saintly white lotus; how could she possibly pity the enemy?
"I just feel a little unreal."
"That's the Sumitomo Group..."
"Heh, Ayako, Sonoko, and even Tomoko often hang out with you guys. What is the Sumitomo Group compared to that?"
Xia Ye could roughly understand her feelings, and gently stroked her pretty face:
"Besides, I'm still here!"
"Cough cough!"
Xia Ye cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, adopting the air of a domineering CEO:
"If you're not satisfied, I can wipe out the Sumitomo Group to appease you!"
"Hate!"
The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, and Yumi gave Natsume a cute eye roll:
"Don't make trouble!"
"So, are you calmed down now?"
"What do you mean, 'calm down'!"
Yumi was both amused and exasperated. This guy knew women so well, yet he didn't even know if she was angry. He was just teasing her!
"I'm not angry, I just felt a bit uncomfortable yesterday because that guy disgusted me, but I felt fine after eating hot pot last night!"
"Okay~"
Miwako interrupted their conversation—
"Time is almost up..."
"Yumi, don't you have to go to work?"
"Oh yes!"
Yumi quickly started to finish her breakfast. Perfect attendance was the bottom line, and she absolutely couldn't afford to lose it. As for flirting with Natsume, there would be plenty of time for that later.
Thus, Junzo Sumitomo's tragic experience was treated as a minor incident during breakfast and was quickly forgotten by everyone.
Had breakfast.
Natsume escorted Miwako and Yumi to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Yumi is a bit obsessive about having perfect attendance.
She was so crazy last night that if Xia Ye hadn't given her two injections to repair her condition, she wouldn't even be able to stand up. Yet she still thought about coming to work.
...
They escorted the two men into the Metropolitan Police Department building.
Natsume went to Suzuki Estate to visit Yukiko.
Then he was kicked out again.
Yukiko is now surrounded by at least three family members at all times and is being well taken care of.
She was in the early stages of pregnancy and couldn't do anything with Xia Ye, so she chose to avoid seeing him and keeping quiet.
Let's just ban Xia Ye from our sight and send him out to play!
Xia Ye wandered around the Suzuki Manor aimlessly.
He was just about to borrow a helicopter from Tomoko to go to Moonshadow Island to visit Makoto, but a phone call changed his plans—
"Whose phone number?"
Xia Ye hadn't even left Suzuki Manor yet; he'd just returned to find Tomoko when he received the call. Seeing the suspicious, mischievous grin suddenly appear on his face, Yukiko chided him:
"Have you hooked up with another beautiful girl?"
"No—" Xia Ye said with a smile, "It's that kid Kuroba Kaito. He invited me to his house to discuss something with me."
"Kaito Kuroba?"
Yukiko blinked and then said something surprising:
"Are you planning to date Kuroba Chikage?"
"puff--!"
Xia Ye nearly coughed up blood; he looked at Pengzi in shock:
"Tomoko, tell me honestly, are you using high-tech methods like satellites to monitor me? I feel like I have no secrets from you at all!"
"With your intuition, even if a satellite were secretly filming you, wouldn't you notice?"
Tomoko gave him a charmingly coquettish glare.
"Besides, do you have some secret you're hiding from us?"
There are indeed two—
Xia Ye was very honest: "But there are only two. I'll tell you later!"
Everyone actually knows what these two secrets are—
The transmigrator's identity and the system, you know.
Xia Ye is already very sincere to everyone. If it weren't for the log restrictions, they would have told Xia Ye long ago!
"We'll talk about it later!"
Let's get back to the main topic—
Now is definitely not the time to talk about this.
Yukiko steered the conversation back on track: "Natsuha, you already know Kuroba Chikage?"
“That’s right—” Xia Ye’s eyes showed some doubt:
"Yukiko, do you know Chikage Kuroba?"
"do not know!"
Yukiko's lips curled into a mysterious smile:
"But she does have a relationship with me—"
"Xia Ye, guess what their relationship is?"
"relation?"
Even Tomoko and the others present were somewhat curious. They knew who held the Kuroba Chikage Log; after all, Tomoko and Yukiko, as the log's administrators, had compiled a list of holders, and Kuroba Chikage's name was on it. However—
The relationship that Miwako described is clearly not like that.
Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have told Xia Ye.
"this..."
Xia Ye thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said, "Could she be your long-lost sister? Wow, if that's the case, I'll definitely have to win her over!"
"Pfft——!"
Akemi, holding Yukiko's hand, couldn't help but laugh. This guess was clearly based on Natsume's own whims. If Kuroba Chikage and Yukiko were really sisters, no wonder he was happy—after all, there would be another new pairing—humph, this scoundrel always talks about pairings like this, just like his own family...
"no!"
Yukiko shook her head in denial, smiling like a seductive female fox:
"It's the kind you like best!"
"Ok?"
Xia Ye grasped the key point, but was still completely confused:
You're saying she's a married woman?
"That's right, but what does that have to do with you?"
"fool!"
Yukiko stopped teasing. Her red lips—no, ever since she got pregnant, she'd even been wearing lipstick—were slightly upturned, and her beautiful eyes held a mischievous smile.
"Actually, Yusaku and Kuroba Toichi are brothers!"
"???"
“!!!”.
Chapter 452 Kuroba Chikage: Kaito, please invite Natsume to our house!
"..."
Xia Ye put one hand to her forehead.
I was shocked by the sudden information:
"Let me catch my breath!"
Actually, Yukiko and the others were also shocked!
No, they originally thought Xia Ye was just acting when she said she didn't know about it.
Because I don't want to reveal my identity as a time traveler for the time being.
I didn't expect he really didn't know!
Shinichi is the main character.
