"Hattori-kun, is there something you need?"
With a polite smile on her face, Kazuha turned around and asked in a clear voice.
She was still thinking that if nothing else happened, she would go back and message Yuzuru!
I was worried about being caught by the teacher during class, so I didn't chat much.
"Let's do it together..."
Just as Hattori Heiji was about to speak, about whether they should go back together like before, he was unexpectedly interrupted by a blonde girl with long, wavy hair walking over from the side.
"Heiji-nii~ Can you come back with me? I'm scared there might be danger on the way!"
The new transfer student, Shizuka Kudo, said in a sweet voice, while tightly hugging Heiji Hattori's arm to her chest, her face showing a pitiful and frightened expression.
"Ahem! Of course, Kudo-kun. Don't worry about it, I'll make sure you get home safely!"
Hattori Heiji felt the soft warmth between his arms, and a blush instantly rose on his dark face. He patted his chest vigorously and began to make his promise with great conviction.
"Thank you, brother. You're such a kind person~" Kudo Shizuka looked up at Hattori Heiji with a face full of admiration, her big, watery eyes filled with affection, and her arms tightened unconsciously.
This made Hattori Heiji, who usually only had the case on his mind, stare wide-eyed, especially at that familiar address, which gave him a strange sense of pleasure.
My whole body felt like it was flying.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home right now!"
"Over here, brother, come with me~"
Kazuha watched as the two people ignored her and strode past her, speechless.
What the hell is this?
Who said Black people don't blush?!
She had never seen Heiji Hattori so gentle before; his attentive manner was completely different from his usual self.
"Good luck, Kudo-kun."
Kazuha shook her head and silently wished Kudo Shizuka, who had come all the way from Tokyo, well, hoping she wouldn't repeat her mistakes.
Anyway, she ran away first.
She had completely seen through Hattori Heiji's character; he was a detective who would give up everything for a case and had no understanding of girls' feelings.
[Hanyu, did you know? Hattori Heiji's lover from Tokyo came to see her!]
Kazuha took out her phone and quickly shared this gossip.
Then, she walked briskly towards her home.
The thought that her mother had specially made her favorite udon noodles today made her even happier.
...
Fei Law Firm.
Hanyu Nanami and Xiaolan, who had temporarily finished their shop inspection today, stopped by to visit Eri Kisaki.
"Ran, you've come to see Attorney Hibiki! Mr. Yuzuru, you've come too!" Kuriyama Midori greeted the two as they walked in with a warm smile.
After pointing out that Attorney Fei was looking at documents in the inner room, she tactfully went to make coffee for the two of them.
It's their daughter and son-in-law meeting, and the mother-in-law is a meeting; it's not appropriate for her, as an assistant, to interfere too much.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Xiaolan asked cheerfully as she pulled Yusheng Nan's hand and pushed open the door to go inside.
Inside the room, Eri Kisaki heard Ran's voice, put down the documents in her hand, took off her glasses, and looked at her daughter with surprise and delight, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection. "Ran, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
Only then did he notice Yuzuru Hanyu standing to the side.
"Yuzuru, I'm sorry to trouble you to come with Ran."
"Xiao Lan and I just happened to be passing by, so we thought we'd come in and see you." Yu Sheng Nan nodded with a smile.
Eri looked at her daughter's sensible boyfriend, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes: "That's thoughtful."
After exchanging a few polite pleasantries, Yuzuru's gaze naturally fell on Eri Kisaki.
He had to admit that whenever and wherever he saw Eri Kisaki, he was always struck by her beauty.
Eri Kisaki's exquisite face is as if it were carefully sculpted by God, with every line just right. Coupled with the charm that comes with the passage of time, she exudes a captivating allure unique to mature women.
The elegance and composure in her every gesture seem innate, making her impossible to ignore.
This feeling became even more pronounced when Xiaolan stood beside her.
She possesses both the competence of a career woman and the gentleness and love of a mother.
This perfectly blended aesthetic is simply irresistible.
"Auntie, you still look so young and beautiful. Standing next to Xiaolan, you look like sisters. You can't tell the age difference between you at all."
Yuzuru Hanyu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
Eri Kisaki smiled slightly and replied, "You child, you still have such a sweet tongue. But I'm very happy that you said that."
Xiaolan stood aside, quietly watching the interaction between the two, a happy smile spreading across her face.
For her, nothing was more important than her mother's approval of her chosen boyfriend.
After the two praised each other for a while, Xiaolan sat down next to Fei Yingli, affectionately took her arm and said, "Mom, Nan, Sonoko and I went to check out some shops today, and we thought we'd stop by to see you on the way."
Eri Kisaki raised an eyebrow: "Inspecting a shop? What kind of business are you planning to do?"
Xiaolan then explained the whole story to Fei Yingli.
Yuzuru Hanyu also chimed in from the side, filling in any gaps and occasionally adding his own comments.
"A creative dumpling restaurant?"
Having roughly figured out what was going on, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but laugh and say, "You young people are really daring and resourceful."
"Right! We all think Sonoko's idea is great. It's just helping out after school and during breaks, and it's a good way to get some experience."
As Ran spoke, she rubbed her cute little face against Eri's cold and beautiful face in a coquettish manner.
Her playful actions, however, made the usually serious lawyer Eri Kisaki very happy.
In her opinion, nothing is better than her daughter wanting to be close to her.
Yuzuru sat in a chair, watching the mother and daughter interacting intimately with admiration, and said softly, "Aunt Eri, besides coming to see you, we have another favor to ask of you!"
Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, and asked in surprise, "You're asking me to do this?"
Eri Kisaki secretly wondered what could be the matter that the second young lady of the Suzuki family and she had investigated, something that seemed ordinary but was actually unfathomable and even Hanyu Nan couldn't solve.
“Yes!” Yu Sheng Nan explained, “We would like to ask Aunt Yingli to be our legal advisor for Nan Yuan Creative Dumpling Shop, and to be responsible for legal matters or infringement cases.”
Sonoko's family naturally has a dedicated legal team for such matters, but after discussion, everyone unanimously decided to ask Ran's mother, Eri Kisaki, who is known as the undefeated queen, to come out of retirement.
It might be a waste of talent.
