"Shut up!"

The haughty little girl covered his mouth in embarrassment and anger, her delicate face turning bright red, and she scolded him, "You perverted lolicon!"

Yu Shengnan couldn't help but burst into laughter, easily taking her small hand and kissing her palm: "Okay, okay, it was our fault."

He affectionately nuzzled Ai's cheek with the tip of his nose and said in a low voice, "After Ran and Sonoko leave tonight, we'll have another animal party with our big sister, just the two of us. Ai can do whatever she wants then."

"...Who cares?" Ai muttered softly, but her tense body had already relaxed, and she even unconsciously leaned closer to him. "I'm not a childish brat like Sonoko..."

"Yes, yes, our Ai is the most mature."

Yuzuru affectionately pinched her nose. "So, can the mature Haibara-san forgive the noisy adults last night?"

Ai turned her face away, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile: "Let's see how you do..."

Yuzuru nodded solemnly: "Then I'd better do my best!"

Last night we missed a defeat CG featuring Ai/Shiho Miyano, so we'll have to make up for it tonight.

After a while, Mingmei came out of the kitchen with breakfast.

Seeing Yuzuru Nanami holding his younger sister and looking at a fashion magazine together in the living room, he smiled knowingly.

When she woke up in the morning, she noticed that Ai was in a bad mood, and even as her older sister, she didn't know how to comfort her.

Young Master Yuzuru is truly remarkable; he can easily appease his sister with a simple coaxing.

"Breakfast is ready. Shall we wake Ran and Sonoko up?"

Akemi greeted her gently.

"Let them sleep a little longer." Yuzuru glanced at the wall clock, then winked at Ai. "After all, not everyone is as energetic as our Ai, reading magazines so early in the morning."

Ai glared at him, jumped off his lap, straightened her wrinkled dress, and said calmly, "I'll set the table."

But when he turned around, Yuzuru still caught the faint smile on his lips.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the restaurant with the shadows of the three people intertwined in the morning light, while two weary princesses slept soundly upstairs.

And a new day has just begun.

Yuzuru took a sip of warm milk and looked at Ai, who was carefully setting out the tableware, and Akemi, who was carrying a plate. Suddenly, he felt that this kind of warm and cozy daily life might be the most perfect happiness.

.........

.........

2 PM, Fei Law Firm.

Wearing a purple fitted uniform and square-framed glasses, Eri Kisaki stood in front of the bookshelf, flipping through a file in her hand. She would occasionally take a few steps around the room, the sound of her black high heels clicking crisply.

“There’s something wrong with this clause…” she muttered to herself, her fingertips tracing a key line of text, her brows furrowing slightly.

As a complete workaholic.

After lunch, Attorney Fei only took a short rest at the law firm before resuming her daily work.

Just as this elegant and beautiful woman was engrossed in studying the case file, immersed in the complex legal provisions and case details, the doorbell rang softly.

"Kuriyama."

Without looking up, she subconsciously gestured to her apprentice to greet the visitor, still holding the file in her hand. She calmly walked behind her desk and sat down, her fingertips once again tracing the key clause that had left her with doubts, her eyes filled with contemplation.

Soon, the office door was gently pushed open again.

With a light footstep, Midori Kuriyama led a young boy and girl in with a beaming smile.

"Master, Yuzuru and Ran have come to see you."

"Mommy~"

Xiao Lan, carrying a bag in her hand, walked happily to her desk.

Yuzuru followed behind, his gaze sweeping over the mountain of documents piled up on Eri's desk. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Aunt Eri is still working overtime on the weekend?"

Eri pushed up her glasses, her sharp gaze softening instantly when she saw her daughter and the gentle young man before her: "There's a cross-border merger case that's going to court in a couple of days, and there are still a lot of details that need to be sorted out and confirmed."

As he spoke, the lawyer seemed to suddenly remember something important, turned to look at Kuriyama Midori, and asked seriously:

"Kuriyama, how's my work schedule for this month coming along?"

“Hmm…” Kuriyama Midori lowered her head slightly, thinking seriously: “In fact, the case we are currently handling is about to undergo its final trial, followed by the investigation of the public defender. There are also a few smaller cases to follow up on, but there is still plenty of time.”

"Oh right, and that case too." Eri frowned and said, "Could you help me retrieve the files?"

Xiao Lan had invited her to Osaka to see the autumn leaves and soak in hot springs. The reason she initially refused was not only because she found it difficult to face the feelings of a certain boy, but also because her work schedule for the month was very full.

Of course, in the end she couldn't resist Yukiko's persistent pleading, coercion and enticement, and was pulled over.

This also made this usually rational and calm lawyer begin to confront the complex and subtle emotions deep within his heart.

"OK."

Kuriyama Midori responded and quickly turned to find the relevant information.

Xiaolan and Yusheng Nan exchanged a helpless glance, their eyes filled with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

That's how my mother is. Once she's fully immersed in her work, it's as if she's entered a world of her own, completely focused, and she can even forget about her daughter and son-in-law coming to visit her.
