"that......"
Hanyu Nan explained helplessly, "The children are just playing..."
Akemi smiled gently: "Do you need me to prepare some snacks to replenish their energy?"
As expected of the gentlest eldest sister in the family, she remained calm and considerate even in the face of such a chaotic scene.
Xiao Ai suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up: "Sister, can your bull talisman power lift that mountain frog?"
Akemi tilted her head and thought for a moment: "It should be possible?"
"Great!" Ai closed her notebook. "Let's go to the backyard. I have a new experiment that I need your help with, big sister..."
Looking into Ai's sparkling eyes, Yuzuru suddenly had a bad feeling: "Wait, what kind of experiment are you going to do?"
Ai revealed a mischievous smile: "Of course, it's to test the power dynamics between Yokai, Pokémon, and Charm users!"
She pulled out a small camera from somewhere: "I'll record this; it can be used as teaching videos later."
Yuzuru sighed, rubbing his forehead. The backyard was really going to turn into a battlefield...
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the villa.
Xiaolan changed into a turtleneck sweater and went downstairs. A white turtleneck coat paired with light blue jeans made her figure look even more slender, making the young girl look refreshing and sweet.
Seeing the empty living room, the girl tilted her head in confusion: "Where is everyone?"
"Akemi went to the backyard with Ai to do experiments." Yuu Nan came out of the kitchen, carrying a box of packaged snacks. She looked at the girl in front of her, smiled slightly, and said with a look of affection in her eyes, "Let's go. Didn't we say we were going to Aunt Eri's place at noon?"
"Hehe, thank you for your hard work, Nan."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolan smiled sweetly.
"It's no trouble at all. Visiting my mother-in-law is what I, as her son-in-law, should do."

At noon, at Fei Law Firm.
In the spacious office, Eri Kisaki sat alone in front of her computer, working on her day's tasks. Her slender, white fingers flew across the keyboard, and her purple suit accentuated the elegant curves of a mature woman.
On the table, an unsigned document lay beside her.
"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~"
The crisp sound of the doorbell broke the silence of the office.
"Kuriyama, go see who it is." Hearing the doorbell ring, Eri Kisaki didn't even look up, instinctively telling her apprentice to go and greet the person.
However, after the doorbell rang several more times, she suddenly remembered that she had just asked her apprentice to go out and run an errand.
"But who could it be? Coming at this hour..." Eri thought to herself as she slowly stood up, her high heels clicking on the floor as she walked toward the door.
"Snap—"
The office door was gently opened.
A bouquet of vibrant roses instantly caught Eri's eye, its rich fragrance filling the air.
"well!"
Attorney Fei was genuinely startled and took a step back.
Before she could react further, a handsome young face peeked out playfully from behind the roses.
"Auntie Eri, good afternoon!"
"Xiao-Xiao Nan?"
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Eri Kisaki's expression instantly shifted from surprise to complexity, mixed with a strange joy that she herself was unaware of.
She felt her heart suddenly race, and a blush unconsciously rose on her cold, beautiful cheeks. Looking at the handsome young man in front of her and the bouquet of vibrant roses, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
"Xiao Nan...this..." Eri's voice trembled slightly, her fingers unconsciously twisting together, "What we're doing...isn't good for Ran..."
She lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, her heart struggling. Reason told her she should refuse, but a strange flutter in her heart prevented her from decisively saying no.
"Mom? What's wrong with me?"
Just then, Ran peeked out from behind Yuzuru Hanyu, looking at her mother with a puzzled expression.
His big eyes were full of doubt.
What is Mom saying? Why can't she understand?
"Ah!" Eri exclaimed, her blush deepening instantly. "Ran?!"
Only then did she notice that Yuzuru was standing behind her daughter. Her attention had been completely drawn to the bouquet of roses and the boy, and she hadn't even seen Ran.
He thought Xiaonan had come to beg him...
Eri Kisaki dared not think any further, feeling only overwhelming shame.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Ran tilted her head, suspiciously observing her mother's unusual reaction, and reached out to touch Eri's forehead. "Your face is so red, do you have a fever?"
"N-nothing!"
Eri Kisaki took a step back in a fluster, trying to appear calm as she straightened her collar. "It's probably too stuffy in the office... Come on in."
As she spoke, she turned and walked quickly back to her office, her heart still pounding wildly.
Oh my god, she just misunderstood... and said those things... Will Xiaolan notice something?
Yuzuru watched Eri Kisaki's hasty retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He knew exactly what Eri Kisaki was thinking, but her reaction was somewhat unexpected.
Playing hard to get.
Progress on winning over the mother-in-law: +1.
"Nan, what's wrong with Mom?" Xiaolan asked softly.
"Maybe I'm just too tired from work," Yuzuru said innocently. "Let's go inside."
The two followed Eri Kisaki into the office.
Eri Kisaki had regained her usual elegance and composure, but her eyes still flickered, and she dared not look directly at Nanami Hanyu.
"Mom, these roses are specially picked out for you by Nan." Xiaolan happily took the bouquet and handed it to Fei Yingli. "He said your office is too serious and needs some fresh flowers to decorate it."
"Is that so...?" Eri Kisaki took the bouquet. "Th...thank you."
She placed the bouquet on the table, deliberately avoiding Yu Sheng Nan's smiling gaze, which was too intense, as if it could see through her deepest thoughts.
Why did you suddenly come here?
Eri Kisaki quickly made an excuse to change the subject.
She has absolutely no idea how to face Yuzuru Nan, especially since he saw her naked in the storage room last time, and his gentle response to her is still vivid in her mind.
Thinking about the intimate contact the two of them had behind Ran's back, Eri Kisaki felt her heart start racing uncontrollably again.
She knew she shouldn't have such thoughts, but the more she tried to suppress them, the stronger the illicit thrill became, crashing against her rational defenses like a tidal wave.
What kind of mother would steal her daughter's husband?!
(Mrs. Yoshida:?)
