The first step of Brave Little Lan's plan has been successfully completed.

To prevent Eri from changing her mind, Ran quickly said, "Then it's decided. You should go to sleep early!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately, not giving Eri any chance to back out.

"Is it really just the three of us?"

Yu Shengnan lay on the bed, propping his head up with one hand, looking at Xiao Lan with a playful expression.

"Oh dear, Nan~"

Xiao Lan chuckled, knowing that her little trick wouldn't fool him, and quickly ran over and lay down on the bed with him.

"Nan, I want to try to reconcile my parents and end their current separation."

Xiaolan said earnestly that she had thought about this matter for a very long time and had taken many actions to carefully plan various opportunities to let her parents meet and try to resolve the conflict between them.

However, each attempt ended in failure.

But brave Xiaolan is not afraid of difficulties.

Get up from where you fall.

“Not a bad idea,” Yuzuru raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips. “But are you sure Aunt Eri will agree?”

"I don't know, but I have to give it a try!"

Xiao Lan buried her face in the soft blanket in distress, her voice muffled.

She didn't know if she could succeed this time. Every time before, when she was about to succeed, her father would ruin it in all sorts of bizarre ways.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so difficult.

How can a support player work so hard to create opportunities while their "AD" character keeps feeding kills?

"Hehe~" Yu Sheng Nan chuckled softly and gently reached out to rub her little head. "Alright, let the adults make their own choices. Forced relationships are never sweet."

If it were a young Kogoro Mouri, perhaps Eri Kisaki would have changed her mind.

But the ten-year separation was like a long winter, and even the deepest feelings had gradually faded away.

She endured the most difficult times alone and earned the title of the undefeated queen through her own efforts. Only Eri Kisaki herself knows best the hardships she went through.

She originally just wanted to be an ordinary housewife, living a simple life of supporting her husband and raising her daughter.

However, if you can live well on your own, why go back to pick up that broken marriage?

Similarly, after 10 years of separation, Kogoro Mouri had long since grown accustomed to this free and unrestrained life.

He could drink and play pachinko as he pleased, enjoying a carefree life.

They're only maintaining this relationship, which should have ended long ago, out of consideration for Xiaolan.

"ah!"

Xiao Lan muttered a low growl, for she understood this principle all too well.

She also knew that the chances of the two getting back together were extremely slim.

But she couldn't just ignore Kogoro Mouri's current state.

He spends all his time either drinking or playing pachinko, so the family can't save any money at all.

I'll have to move into Nan's house sooner or later, and then my dad, who has no one to control him, will become completely lawless.

Thinking about this, Xiaolan felt even more troubled, her brows furrowing tightly.

"I hope this time it will be successful..."

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Eri Kisaki did not go home to sleep as Ran had expected.

“Izu…” Eri kept replaying her daughter’s words in her mind and put down the documents in her hand.

She's still at the firm, not off work yet.

She was the only person in the huge office at that moment.

In the silent space, only the ticking of the clock and her soft breathing mingled together.

The apprentice, Kuriyama Midori, couldn't hold on any longer and went back first.

Eri Kisaki stood up, walked to the window, and quietly gazed at the dazzling night view outside, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

She knew that Xiaolan's invitation this time would definitely not be limited to more than three people. She had experienced this situation many times before and was already used to it.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, causing the documents on the table to flutter.

Eri Kisaki snapped out of her reverie, sat back down at her desk, picked up the documents, but seemed somewhat distracted.

"Should I go..." she murmured to herself, her voice unusually clear in the quiet office.

For Ran's sake, she has already given Kogoro Mouri far too many chances.

Each time, she held onto a sliver of hope that he could change and that their relationship could improve.

However, each time she ended up disappointed.

Eri Kisaki bit her lip lightly, unconsciously crumpling the documents in her hand.

Whenever she thought of Kogoro Mouri's unreliable behavior, a nameless anger would rise in her heart.

His alcoholism, his laziness, his irresponsibility—every action of his made her feel disappointed and helpless.

Even the greatest patience would have long since been worn out.

After a long while, thinking of Ran's expectant eyes, Eri's heart softened again.

"For Xiaolan's sake, why not give him another chance?"

Eri Kisaki sighed softly, put down the documents in her hand, and reached out to rub her throbbing temples.

After making her decision, she lowered her head again, focused intently, and continued processing the documents.

Since we're going out for fun this weekend, we need to make sure we get all the work done for those two days in advance.

As for whether there would be any danger on the way back too late, Princess Eri was not worried at all.

The small ball hanging from her chest is her greatest source of confidence.
