"If this is all the sincerity I have in offering in my self-criticism, I really don't know how to explain it to the other store managers..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yoshida bit her lower lip, her bright eyes instantly welling up with tears, filled with a pitiful expression: "Kusun-kun... please..."
"Beg me?" Yuzuru raised an eyebrow. "Beg with what?"
The atmosphere in the office grew increasingly ambiguous.
Mrs. Yoshida blushed, her delicate hands shyly resting on Hanyu Nan's chest, her voice barely a whisper: "I...I can make it up to you..."
"How will you compensate me?" Yu Shengnan asked with a wicked grin.
The young woman leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "Sir, whatever you wish to compensate me with..."
As she spoke, she reached up and tied her long hair up.
Yu Shengnan sat down in the boss's chair with a smile, his gaze burning with desire as he watched the young woman in front of him, who had her legs spread wide as if waiting for something.
Just as the store manager was about to implement the next punishment for the employee, there was a sudden knock on the office door—
"Mom! I've finished my homework!"
Ayumi's clear voice came from outside the door.
The two froze simultaneously.
Mrs. Yoshida hurriedly straightened her disheveled clothes, while Yuu Nan glanced regretfully at the desk. Unfortunately, the space underneath was too small to hide a petite and beautiful woman.
It is indeed a bit of a pity.
I need to get Sonoko to replace the desk later.
What's the point of an office desk that can't even hide a person?
"Nan-nii!" The office door opened, and Ayumi rushed in and hugged Yuzuru's leg. "I got everything right!"
Yuzuru bent down and picked her up: "You're amazing!"
He glanced discreetly at Mrs. Yoshida, who was trying to calm herself and regain her composure, a barely perceptible smirk playing on his lips. He deliberately drew out his words, "Akimi-nee, about the accounts... we'll discuss that 'in more depth' later."
Mrs. Yoshida blushed, but a hint of expectation flickered in her eyes. She nodded gently, "Okay, okay..."
Ayumi looked around curiously: "What accounts?"
"It's an adult matter~" Yu Sheng Nan reached out and pinched her little nose. "Come on, Nan-gege will take you to eat ice cream."
"Yay!" Ayumi cheered, "Mommy too!"
Mrs. Yoshida gently reached out and tidied her daughter's slightly messy hair, her eyes full of maternal love. "Mom still has to work. You and Nan go ahead."
Then, she turned to Yuzuru Hanyu, her eyes full of tenderness: "And thank you for the guidance, store manager..."
Yuzuru blinked: "You are welcome to come anytime, Madam... to seek your advice."
Ayumi looked left and right, feeling that there was some secret between her mother and her brother Nan, but the child's curiosity was quickly overshadowed by the temptation of the ice cream.
Watching the two leave hand in hand, Mrs. Yoshida leaned back on her desk and let out a long sigh.
She touched her burning cheeks and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
This little man... he really knows how to have fun...
She almost lost her composure in front of her daughter; if she had, she would have completely lost her authority as a mother...
.........
In the ice cream shop, Ayumi happily licked her strawberry-flavored cone, a playful trace of white cream leaving a mark on her lips. Suddenly, she asked, "Brother Nan, will you really marry me?"
Yuzuru smiled slightly: "This...we'll talk about it when you're older."
This is a real loli, starting at three years old, with no upper limit.
"How long will that take?" Ayumi tilted her head. "Is next year possible?"
"I'm afraid that won't work..." Yuzuru suppressed a laugh, "At least until you're as tall as your mother."
Ayumi frowned, "Ah...that'll take a long time..."
But just a second later, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Then... Brother Nan can marry Mom first! And then marry me when I grow up, so we'll always be a family!"
Yuzuru: "......"
This child... is such a clever little devil.
Kids will be kids! They always say things without thinking.
However, this suggestion is quite good, and Yuzuru Hanyu said it's worth considering.
Of course, he didn't mean anything by it; he just didn't want to hurt the children's young and innocent hearts.
.........
The sun is setting.
The customers at the pastry shop "Maria" gradually dispersed.
Yuzuru and his group also prepared to leave.
“Nan-jun…” Xia Mei stood at the store entrance, her fingers unconsciously twisting the edge of her apron. “Thank you so much for coming today.”
Her grey eyes shone gently in the sunset, her brown hair was gently swayed by the evening breeze, and she seemed to be gilded with a dreamy golden edge, just like a princess in a fairy tale.
Okay, this is a real princess, even though her kingdom was destroyed.
"It is our honor."
Yuzuru smiled and said, "Your desserts are really great."
Mingmei nodded in agreement: "Miss Xia Mei's skills are amazing. I'd like to become her apprentice."
Although Ai didn't say anything, the fact that she was still holding the packaged strawberry cake in her hand said it all.
Xia Mei's cheeks flushed red: "If...if you like, you can come anytime..."
This was one of the reasons why she opened her shop next to the dumpling shop.
Her hesitant expression made the butler standing to the side sigh. This old butler, who had watched Xia Mei grow up since she was a child, could not help but see through his young lady's thoughts.
