Conan: Ran turns into an elementary school student and calls me dad.

Chapter 89 Living with Judy

"Who said this was bought!"

Eri Kisaki lost her temper again, her voice filled with dissatisfaction and grievance.

"Do you know how long I worked last night on this chocolate?"

"Last night?" Lin Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

No wonder he felt that Ran and Eri were acting strangely last night.

The mother and daughter were hiding in the kitchen, acting all mysterious and not letting him get close. It turned out they were busy making this chocolate.

"Xiaolan helped make this too, right? No wonder it tastes so good."

Lin Xiuyi finally calmed down and quickly stuffed the remaining chocolate into her mouth, eating it with great relish.

Although Eri, who was standing to the side, was unhappy that he attributed the credit to Ran, she couldn't help but smile happily when she saw that Hideichi had eaten all the chocolate she had made himself.

"Cough, cough cough."

Eri Kisaki coughed twice and gave a signal towards the restaurant entrance.

Hiding outside the door so as not to disturb her parents' interaction, Xiaolan immediately pushed the door open and went back into the dining room after hearing the cough.

"...Your chocolate."

Xiao Lan walked to Lin Xiuyi's side and placed a small gift box on his table.

Lin Xiuyi happily opened the gift box. Unlike the heart-shaped chocolates from Eri Kisaki, the chocolates from Ran were actually in the shape of exquisite houses.

The chocolate's roof and windows are depicted with lifelike detail, and in the very center, the names of the family of three are clearly engraved.

Next to it was a small line of writing, a short but warm blessing: "I hope our family will always be together."

"Yes, that's very well done!"

Lin Xiuyi nodded in satisfaction, looked up and saw Xiaolan's expectant gaze, quickly picked up the chocolate, and just like before, ate it all in a few bites.

It tastes sweet, sweet to the core.

……

After breakfast, Judy arrived in her car, and Lin Xiuyi and Xiaolan got in.

Lin Xiuyi wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while.

But he had barely closed his eyes when he suddenly heard Xiaolan speak beside him.

"Sister Judy, why don't you move in with us? There are still many empty rooms in the new house, so you won't have to commute so far to get off work every day, making things easier for you."

When Judy heard Lan say that, she was overjoyed.

Being able to live in Lin Xiuyi's house means that it is more convenient to monitor his every move nearby.

If Sharon comes to see Lin Xiuyi again, she won't miss her chance like she did this time.

"I can't make that decision," Judy said with a troubled look on her face. She glanced at Lin Xiuyi discreetly through the rearview mirror. "It depends on the boss's opinion."

Xiao Lan immediately grabbed Lin Xiuyi's arm and gently shook it.

"Look how hard Judy works every day, leaving early and coming home late. Why don't you let her move in with us, okay?"

"Um……"

Lin Xiuyi frowned and gave her daughter a strange look.

When did this girl get so close to Judy?

Previously, at Eri's apartment, because the place was too small to accommodate many people, Jodie and Ryu had to find their own places to live.

Now that Li Long and his family have moved into their new house, Judy, as his personal driver, should also move in. Otherwise, it's really inconvenient to have to call her every time he needs to use the car.

But then I thought about it again. Judy's identity is not ordinary. She is an FBI agent. Is it really reliable to bring an FBI agent into the house?

If she has ulterior motives and is spying on me while also checking up on my home, that would be a bad thing.

Lin Xiuyi pondered the matter repeatedly, unable to make up her mind.

Xiaolan looked at him nervously, her heart pounding, waiting for his answer.

She didn't bring up this idea entirely for Judy's benefit.

The main reason is that yesterday Lin Xiuyi asked Judy whether she should kiss him or choose to be fired.

Although Lin Xiuyi immediately said it was just a joke, it still aroused Xiaolan's wariness.

She always felt that her father seemed to have some ulterior motives towards Judy, who was beautiful and skilled.

If Judy were still living outside, her father might end up sleeping with her someday.

Rather than that, it would be better to just bring Judy to live in the new house she's in now.

With her and her mother watching over things, her father would definitely not have any opportunity to take advantage of her, and she could feel more at ease.

If Lin Xiuyi knew that his daughter had gone to so much trouble to come up with this plan, he would definitely laugh at Xiaolan for being too young and naive.

For a lecher like him, if a beautiful woman is far away, he might not even bother to provoke her; at most, he'd just admire her from a distance.

But if you have a beautiful woman by your side, seeing her every day, it's like putting a piece of delicious meat in front of a tiger's mouth. Who can resist such temptation? It's easier to have other thoughts.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xiuyi decided to agree to Xiaolan's suggestion.

Although Judy is an FBI agent, Vermouth has now completely given up on seeing him, and the entanglement between the two has come to an end.

The estrangement between him and Judy caused by Vermouth completely disappeared.

Moreover, as long as he doesn't become too close to the Black Organization or do anything that harms the FBI's interests, the FBI probably won't target him specifically.

Not to mention, keeping Judy around, with her figure and skills—in short, her abilities—is a win-win situation. She can be used to guard the house and also for admiring people.

Lin Xiuyi had already made up her mind to agree, but on the surface she deliberately frowned, pretending to be in a dilemma.

This is a lesson he learned from years of being a boss: no matter how much you urgently need the employee in front of you, you must never let her realize that you can't do without her.

Once the other party develops this kind of thought, the only one who will suffer in the future is the boss.

"I wonder if Eri will agree to have another person in the family?"

"If you agree, I'll talk to Mom!"

Xiao Lan was afraid that Lin Xiu might change her mind, so she immediately patted her chest and assured him.

"Mom will definitely listen to me!"

"In that case..." Lin Xiuyi drawled, his eyes subtly glancing at the rearview mirror in front of him, where he caught a glimpse of Judy's tense expression.

He chuckled inwardly, then nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, let's do it your way."

Seeing this, Judy breathed a sigh of relief, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

Next, if Xiaolan can persuade Fei Yingli, she can move into the Lin family's new house and live with Lin Xiu...

Bah, it's that we can monitor Lin Xiuyi's every move at a closer distance!

In this way, no matter when Vermouth comes knocking, she will be able to detect it immediately and will never miss a clue like last time.
