Chapter 143 Was your half-step back gesture for real?



"Nan, I'm going back now. I'm really worried about Dad being home alone."

After breakfast, and spending a warm time with Yuzuru, Xiaolan stood up and reluctantly said goodbye.

Although Ran told Kogoro Mouri yesterday that she wouldn't be going home tonight.

But Xiaolan was not at all at ease about her always confused father.

"Hehe, Ran should also try to teach her uncle to live independently. After all, from now on, Ran will be renamed Yuzuru Ran!"

Yuzuru chuckled softly, then gently kissed Xiaolan's cherry-like, delicate and lovely lips.

He really didn't have much to say about Kogoro Mouri.

Xiaolan will move into his villa sooner or later.

However, Conan will probably be the one who suffers the most in the end.

After all, Conan was staying at Kogoro Mouri's house.

With Ran gone, given Kogoro Mouri's personality, it would be a miracle if he could even take care of himself. How could we expect him to take good care of Conan?

"Okay! I'll tell Dad when I get back."

Xiao Lan nodded thoughtfully.

She felt that Nan was right; she couldn't take care of her father for the rest of her life, and it was indeed necessary to train him to live independently.

After seeing Ran off, Yuzuru returned to the living room and saw the two sisters, Akemi and Ai, sitting on the sofa, staring intently at him.

"Um, do you two have any questions?"

Yuzuru walked over, picked up Ai, sat in Ai's seat, and turned to look at Akemi.

"Young Master Yuzuru, is Ran your future wife?"

Akemi finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

In her view, no matter how flamboyant her young master may be in private, he will definitely have a legitimate wife in public.

Initially, she thought it would be Sonoko, since the Suzuki family could provide a lot of help to the young master.

However, it now seems that Xiaolan has a better chance of winning.

"Haha, Ai, is that what you think too?"

Yuzuru smiled indulgently and looked down at Ai in his arms.

When Hanyu Nan asked her a question, Ai didn't speak, but simply nodded.

"Alright, since you're both so curious about who my future wife will be, then I'll satisfy your curiosity..." Yu Shengnan looked at the two girls' adorable expressions as they listened intently, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Mingmei, quickly giving each of them a light kiss on the cheek before they could react.

"Why do you think your young master would care about what other people think?" Yu Shengnan announced with a wicked grin.

"abnormal!"

Ai was the first to react, giving Yuzuru a playful kick, but the undisguised joy in her eyes was clearly visible.

Ai was already satisfied with Hanyu Nan's promise.

"I'll go check if the spirit rice is cooked."

Xiao Ai blushed and turned to flee the scene.

"You think you can just leave after kicking me? Not so easy!"

Yuzuru wasn't about to let Ai escape so easily, so he immediately took off after her.

Watching her younger sister being chased around by Yuzuru, Akemi's eyes were filled with tenderness and smiles.

"Young Master Yuzuru..."

Unlike Ai, who is prone to anxiety and insecurity, Akemi is quite satisfied with her current life.

Now, with Yuzuru's promise to them, Akemi feels like the happiest person in the world.

...

Mouri Detective Agency.

"I'm home, Dad."

Xiaolan, who was in an exceptionally good mood, shouted with joy, but when she pushed open the door of the agency, her mood instantly plummeted.

"Dad, just how much did you drink yesterday?!"

Ran looked at the beer bottles scattered all over the floor and Kogoro Mouri lying on the tatami mat, still drinking a beer, and her anger flared up instantly.

She's only been gone for one night!

"Ran, you're back... You didn't drink much..." Seeing Ran's unfriendly expression, Kogoro Mori instinctively hid the beer can in his hand behind his back.

Since Xiaolan wasn't home and no one was watching him, he couldn't resist drinking a little too much.

Xiaolan sighed helplessly; she knew her father's alcoholism was always difficult to control.

"Dad, when will you finally let me feel at ease?"

Ran's words were filled with deep disappointment. She put down her bag, walked over to Kogoro Mouri, and snatched the beer can from his hand.

Then, she quietly began to tidy up the room, picking up the beer bottles on the floor one by one and putting them back in the trash can.

Looking at his daughter who had been busy ever since she returned, Kogoro Mouri scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Xiao Lan, did you have fun yesterday?"

"I'm happy, very happy. I'd be even happier if Dad could be more self-disciplined."

Xiaolan answered without looking up as she tossed the cans into the trash bag.

"Dad, drink less next time..." Kogoro Mouri said somewhat awkwardly.

"You always say that!"

Xiaolan stopped what she was doing and raised her voice.

"This time, definitely."

Kogoro Mori quickly assured him.

"You said you definitely would last time too."

Xiaolan looked up at her father, who looked determined, and mercilessly shattered his lie.

However, Xiaolan has gradually come to understand.
