"What should we do? Should we tell them we're too busy and turn down the case?" Kuriyama Midori said with a worried expression.
As Eri's apprentice.
She clearly doesn't yet possess the undefeated queen's confident demeanor, unafraid of any opponent.
Sitting behind her desk, Eri Kisaki did not respond immediately to her apprentice's words. She interlaced her fingers and placed them on her ample bosom, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her beautiful face showed a thoughtful expression.
Seeing that her mother was about to get into work mode, Xiaolan felt a little anxious and quickly raised her voice, calling out, "Mom!"
"I'm sorry, Xiaolan..."
Eri Kisaki subconsciously raised her head, her gaze first falling on her daughter, but when she saw Nanami Hanyu standing quietly to the side, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Between her work and her daughter (and son-in-law), she chose:
"Kuriyama, could you please pour us a cup of tea?"
"Okay, master."
Well, work is still not as important as my "daughter".
After Kuriyama Midori left the office, Eri Kisaki put down the file in her hand, looked at the two people in front of her, and a smile appeared on her cold and beautiful face, "You two, what brings you here to see me today?"
"As long as Mother-in-law is willing, Xiaolan and I can come to see you every day, rain or shine, day or night," Yu Shengnan said with a smile, placing the bag in his hand on the table.
Eri Kisaki smiled slightly: "Xiao Nan's words are getting sweeter and sweeter."
"Hehe, I taught them all." Xiao Lan chuckled mischievously, eager to take credit like a child.
"Yes, yes, it was all taught by my Xiaolan."
Yu Sheng Nan chuckled and took out the various gift boxes that Mingmei had wrapped in the bag. "Aunt Eri, you must have run out of the Lingmi and toiletries, right? Ran and I have come to bring you some new ones."
"Yes, yes, and these snacks too." Xiaolan nodded her little head, took out a beautifully packaged box of snacks from her bag, and opened it. Inside were all sorts of cookies, small cakes, macarons...
It was all done by a few girls at home in the morning.
The Gourmet Cell Baking Oven they tested last night gave them a taste of success, and they spent the whole morning immersed in the joy of baking various desserts.
They also obtained various desserts with different special effects.
Energy, deliciousness, flight, hydration, and so on.
Of course, besides these, there are also some desserts with fancy special effects, such as changing hair color or making the body transparent after eating them.
However, these things definitely cannot be given to Attorney Fei. After all, she is an elder and should be respected.
Therefore, they chose pastries that had relatively normal effects.
Looking at the desk that was now piled high with all sorts of exquisitely packaged boxes, Eri's beautiful eyes behind her glasses flickered slightly. After a long while, she sighed softly, "I'm so sorry to trouble you again, Xiaonan."
"No trouble at all. It's my duty to be respectful to my mother-in-law." Yu Shengnan winked at her half-jokingly, which made the lawyer chuckle.
"Mom, come and try this."
Ran picked out a bear-shaped cookie from the snack box and eagerly held it to Eri's lips, her big eyes blinking as she said, "We made them ourselves, they're so delicious!"
"Okay, Mom will try it."
Eri Kisaki couldn't help but smile as she looked at her daughter's excited expression.
She reached out and took the bear-shaped biscuit, parted her red lips slightly, and took a small, elegant bite.
The moment she stepped into the entrance, she suddenly froze.
Then, she couldn't help but let out a pleasant groan, melodious and gentle, as a warm current flowed through her body, and the fatigue of a busy day vanished in that instant.
After finishing the whole bear-shaped biscuit, Eri Kisaki, now refreshed, looked at Nanami Hanyu with bright eyes and asked curiously, "Nanami, what's this...?"
Yuzuru smiled, his gaze lingering briefly on the dessert box.
Bear Biscuits "Energy"
Consuming this will eliminate currently accumulated fatigue.
He briefly explained his newly invented technology to Eri Kisaki.
Eri Kisaki gently stroked the exquisite pastry box with her fingertips, her eyes sparkling with interest: "If these pastries, which can instantly restore one's energy, were mass-produced, they would probably revolutionize the entire food industry."
Imagine how busy office workers, hardworking manual laborers, and professionals with high-intensity jobs would all go crazy for it.
Yu Sheng Nan shook his head with a smile, "These are all for our own use. Outsiders are not qualified to taste them. If Aunt Eri likes them, I'll have Ran send you fresh ones often in the future."
His words were somewhat domineering, but Eri Kisaki felt they were perfectly reasonable.
These snacks, with their various special effects, are far more valuable than ordinary food. If they were to be sold, they would undoubtedly become auction items that countless wealthy individuals and politicians would compete fiercely for, sparking a fierce bidding war.
"...It's incredible." She subconsciously touched her temples, where the nerves that had been throbbing with work stress were now completely relaxed. "The fatigue has completely disappeared."
Xiao Lan proudly shook her head: "Right? Nan's inventions are the most amazing!"
Yuzuru Hanyu watched Eri Kisaki's reaction with a smile.
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating her and highlighting the perfect profile of her face.
Even nearing forty, this legal queen still maintains stunning beauty—a neat bun, delicate features, an elegant neck, and the curves subtly revealed beneath her purple uniform...
At this moment, her slightly relaxed posture added a touch of languid charm unique to mature women.
“Aunt Eri, try this one.” Yuzuru took a pink macaron from the dessert box. “It can enhance short-term memory and should help with sorting out the details of the case.”
Eri Kisaki took the macaron, her fingertips inadvertently brushing against Nanami Hanyu's fingers, and both of them were slightly taken aback.
She quickly withdrew her hand, adjusting her glasses as if to cover her embarrassment: "Thank you, I just happen to have a complicated merger and acquisition case on hand..."
Macarons melt in your mouth, their delicate texture gliding down your throat like silk. Eri closed her eyes to savor the sensation.
When she opened her eyes again, her eyes sparkled with surprise: "It's amazing! The case files I looked at yesterday are right in front of me now. Every clause and every detail is crystal clear."
Xiao Lan excitedly handed over another small slice of lemon cake: "Mom, try this! It will keep your skin moisturized all day!"
Eri Kisaki gracefully savored each dessert, uttering exclamations of surprise with each one she tasted.
Yuzuru leaned against the desk, admiring this rare childlike side of the mature woman.
The way she squinted her eyes as she savored the dessert, and the way her lips unconsciously turned up when she discovered a new effect, all revealed a softness and cuteness that was completely different from her serious and capable demeanor in court.
