"Let Sonoko and Ran help you pack your things, and you can come stay at my place!"
Pengzi waved her hand decisively, "This place is nice, but it's too small. Staying here for too long will affect your mood!"
It's true what they say, mother and daughter; Tomoko and Sonoko really think alike. Tomoko will now come specifically to pick up Yukiko to stay at the Suzuki Estate.
"Okay, okay~"
Yukiko, not wanting to refuse, took Tomoko's outstretched hand and said with a smile, "Sonoko already suggested it, and we've already discussed it. We'll stay at your place for a while. By the way, Elena and the others will come too. Is that alright?"
"What is the problem?"
Tomoko carefully helped Yukiko up, rolled her eyes at her, and said, "We're all family here. It's not like I have a place to stay every day. Do you think I'm short of a few more pairs of chopsticks?"
"That's good~"
Yukiko nodded in satisfaction: "With so many people around, I won't be bored!"
Don't worry, I won't let you get bored!
Tomoko glanced at Yukiko's still flat stomach and muttered softly:
"I wonder if it's a boy or a girl?"
"Why does everyone ask this kind of question!"
Yukiko was both amused and exasperated. This must be the first instinctive reaction of anyone who finds out they are pregnant today, right?
What does it matter if it's a boy or a girl?
"Cough cough~"
Tomoko coughed lightly and said seriously, "This child is more likely to inherit the Suzuki Group, so of course I need to be concerned about the relationship."
"Yo~"
Yukiko's beautiful eyes darted around, and she started being mischievous again: "Tomoko, do you mean that regardless of whether someone is a legitimate or illegitimate child, they can inherit the Suzuki Group?"
"nonsense!"
Tomoko gently pinched Yukiko's small hand and said reproachfully:
"What kind of legitimate or illegitimate child did our family bring?"
"We don't even know when Shiho will give birth yet."
"Eh?"
Shiho, who was just watching the show, was inexplicably brought up and quickly waved her hand, saying:
"Don't worry about me, I'm not planning on having children yet, you (good) husband, your husband!"
"Okay~"
Yukiko blinked, then "put Tomoko in a difficult position" again: "What if the one in my belly isn't interested in inheriting the family business? You can't force him!"
"Of course!"
Pengzi rolled her eyes at her, annoyed: "Since you can get pregnant, it means Xia Ye is fine. Who knows how many children our family will have in the future? Why would I want to 'torture' one of them?"
"and many more?"
Xia Ye interrupted the conversation with a dark expression—
"So, Tomoko, you thought I had a problem before?"
"if not?"
Tomoko pouted: "We didn't take any measures before, and there was no reaction. It can't be that we're all the ones with problems, can it?"
"However, it seems a bit difficult now, but it's definitely not a problem, so I'm relieved!"
"..."
Xia Ye had to admit that Pengzi was right, but he felt wronged that he was being doubted despite being so vigorous. So he gritted his teeth, glared at Pengzi's beautiful eyes, and said fiercely:
"Tomoko, you just wait!"
"I'll show you whether I have a problem or not!"
"Hehe, I'll be waiting!"
How could Tomoko be afraid of him? She was more likely to be looking forward to it, since she had always had this intention. Now that Yukiko had proven that there was no problem, her own plans also needed to be put on the agenda!
If you can't be the boss, at least be the second!
She unexpectedly developed a competitive spirit in this area...
"Alright, let's get ready to go!"
With plenty of help at home, they quickly packed everything they needed to take, and everyone got into the extended limousine that Tomoko had specially decorated as a nanny van, and headed straight to the Suzuki Estate.
Xia Ye naturally went along as well.
Sonoko and Shiho even deliberately encouraged Natsume, saying that he could go find women outside, since no one had any objections—which Natsume, of course, righteously and firmly rejected!
Yukiko had only just become pregnant.
How could he possibly go out to see another woman tonight?
We should at least wait until tomorrow!
Cough!
That's definitely a bit of a jerk...
Chapter 444 Infirmary PLAY~
Three days passed.
Yukiko is living quite well at the Suzuki Estate.
Just like Sonoko and Tomoko said.
This place is spacious, so you can wander around and relax.
With so many chefs, they can come up with all sorts of ways to change up Yukiko's meals.
The estate even has a bar, a theater, and a concert hall.
Of course, alcohol is definitely not allowed.
Drinking some juice and listening to various musicians performed by Tomoko is quite nice!
Even Akiba Reiko came over once.
However, she didn't sing her signature soprano part.
They said they were afraid of scaring the baby in Yukiko's belly.
This seemingly aloof and elegant female musician is actually quite adorable, well, she's rather clueless...
In short, the environment here is perfect for Yukiko, however—
Xia Ye was a little reserved.
After all, Yukiko was pregnant.
There's always a feeling of sneaking around if you avoid seeing her being intimate with other people.
Besides, the entire household now revolves around Yukiko.
When Xia Ye tries to be intimate with someone, she always has the illusion that she's being treated perfunctorily—of course, this is just an illusion!
only--
I've been a bit reserved these past few days.
Yukiko's condition has stabilized.
Xia Ye decided not to stay at Suzuki Manor any longer—she could come over anytime anyway, and she didn't need to stay here.
...
out the door.
Xia Ye discovered it.
It seems I don't even have a destination yet.
It's not that we have nowhere to go.
Rather, there are just too many places to go.
It's a difficult decision to make right now.
For example:
Inspector Megure should be busy at the Metropolitan Police Department right now, working tirelessly for the safety of the people of Tokyo.
Megure Midori is home alone; I can go over and keep her company.
Similarly, last night Ayumi texted Natsume to invite him to her house, and Natsume accepted.
After all, he still cared about Ayumi's young mother...
And then there's Yoko's Earth Ladies team.
Hui Mei is already in our grasp, but Xiao Xun and Xue Jie are the two "fish that slipped through the net," so we need to work harder.
As for Miwako and Yumi, they haven't gotten together in a long time either.
Shizuka and Kazuha are in Osaka too. Kazuha mentioned last time that if we go there, we can go together—
Well, anyway, it was a natural and successful outcome.
Other options include Honesty, Junhui, and even Qianying, whom I just met.
That's why it's so hard to choose!
that's it.
He stood by the roadside thinking for a long time.
Xia Ye finally chose her target.
Driving all the way to the vicinity of Teitan High School, after getting out of the car, he had become a completely different person, 313.
He was handsome and refined, dressed in a uniform.
His expression had a somewhat arrogant feel to it.
"what?"
The gatekeeper of Teitan High School looked at the somewhat unfamiliar face in front of him and exclaimed in surprise:
"Shinichi Kudo? Didn't you take a long leave of absence? What are you doing at school?"
That's right.
Natsume has become Shinichi Kudo.
In the end, he chose to attend Teitan High School.
After all, this place has been quite lively lately!
Not only is Teitan High School holding its school festival, but Vermouth and Jodie are also here!
He wanted to participate in something so exciting.
"I just happened to be passing by and remembered that it's the school festival these days, so I came to check it out!"
"Oh, I see. Come in quickly!"
"Today is the first day of the festival. You haven't been back for a long time, so you can join in the fun!"
As a prominent figure at Teitan High School, the gatekeeper naturally recognized Shinichi Kudo. Without checking his student ID or anything, he let Natsume in directly.
"Well, thank you!"
Xia Ye stepped into the campus, smiled and thanked them, then said meaningfully:
"I'll enjoy it!"
This is the typical atmosphere of school festivals in Japan.
Various food stalls and street performances are frequent visitors to the festival.
