Because he was driving, Miwako couldn't pinch his ears. Her slender hand hesitated, wanting to pinch them, but she could only pout and say in annoyance:
"You're not sweet-talking at all!"
"Whether it's sweet or not, don't you know?"
A mischievous grin crept across Xia Ye's face, but seeing Miwako about to clench her fist in a blatant disregard for traffic rules, he quickly restrained himself.
"I'll speak nicely to Auntie when I meet her!"
"That's pretty much it~"
Miwako had no doubt that Natsume could win her mother's favor.
This scoundrel may seem to be getting more and more unrestrained in front of me and Xiaolan, but in other people's eyes he's a total high-value man!
Her looks, temperament, and figure are all impeccable.
Their abilities are truly extraordinary!
Such a man.
Let alone to a young girl like Xiaolan.
It is especially attractive to mothers.
Mothers with sons definitely want a son like that, as for mothers with daughters—
I definitely want a son-in-law like that!
Of course, there are also mothers who already have daughters but still want a man like that, like Eri and Tomoko, which shows that Natsume is very popular...
For Miwako...
My mother has been urging me to get married for a long time.
Even if we don't get married, we should find a boyfriend first!
They even mentioned blind dates many times!
So bringing Xia Ye home isn't a bad choice after all; at least it lets Mom know she has a boyfriend, and things will be a bit quieter from now on.
It's just a little troublesome.
If I were to establish a relationship with Xia Ye through her.
I reckon she'll invite Xia Ye over for dinner quite often!
Speaking of frequently inviting Natsume to her home for dinner, Miwako immediately thought of Midori Megure. Midori had invited Natsume to her home for dinner several times—
However, his true intention was not what he seemed!
It also concerns matters of love between men and women!
Hmph! That's so indecent!
If Mom invites Xia Ye over, Xia Ye—
"Don't worry~"
Xia Ye spoke gently, as if she had heard her thoughts:
"I'll visit your house often from now on—"
"I will absolutely fulfill all of your mother's requests!"
"Just like you would treat your own elders!"
"Ok!"
Miwako gently placed her slender hand on his leg, said nothing more, and felt a profound sense of peace.
Not long after—
Miwako watched as the car parked in front of her house.
Through the window, the living room lights were still on, and she said with some guilt:
"Mom's still awake?"
"When I called her, I just said I was working overtime."
"She has no idea what happened yet~"
"Let's go tell her together now!"
Xia Ye glanced at the warm orange light and smiled, "Hearing such good news, it's worth staying up all night, isn't it?"
"it is good!"
...
Both the Miwako family and the Megure family are classic detached houses.
Miwako's house looks a bit more old-fashioned than Megure's.
Of course, this is a slightly high-EQ way of putting it; a low-EQ way of putting it is a bit outdated.
But that's true—
This house must have been built when Miwako's father was alive, so it must be at least eighteen years old. It's normal for it to be old and worn.
Considering that Miwako died in the line of duty nearby, even though the Metropolitan Police Department provides compensation, it was still very difficult for Miwako's mother to raise eight-year-old Miwako!
However, Xia Ye observed the surroundings and found that although the house was old, it was very tidy.
The small lawn in the front yard was neatly covered with green grass, and there was also a small flower bed. It was obviously the work of Miwako's mother—Miwako's personality had nothing to do with growing flowers and plants!
"Isn't it a bit rudimentary?"
Miwako wasn't ashamed, but it was a fact that her house was far inferior to Natsume's villa!
"All I saw was the warmth of home."
Xia Ye wasn't being sentimental; he looked at the orange light shining through the window, his eyes filled with reminiscence:
"When I first got the keys to this villa, I didn't really feel anything. It was just another place to live. It wasn't even as good as the dormitory across from Shiho's apartment. It was only after Shiho, Akemi, Yukiko, and Elena moved in that it started to feel like home!"
"...and also—"
"I lived in the countryside when I was a child."
"Such a house was unimaginably luxurious to me at the time, so there was no question of it being simple!"
"Summer Leaves..."
Miwako hadn't expected that Natsume would say so much after she had only made a simple sigh.
However, she wanted to hear more of these open and honest words—
After all, these are Xia Ye's true feelings!
What's more, Xia Ye also mentioned her childhood!
The log holders all know that Xia Ye is a time traveler who was originally from China, but he rarely mentions it.
Actually, everyone is very curious about these things, and some people have even started learning Chinese. I wonder when I'll be able to have a proper chat with them about these topics.
We've discussed this in casual conversations before.
Everyone thought it was only a matter of time.
Really looking forward to it!
"Crack——!"
The door opened softly.
The door in front of us opened from the inside.
At the entrance hall.
A middle-aged woman dressed in a casual kimono quickly scanned Miwako and Natsume, her gaze finally settling on their clasped hands!
Oh open!
Miwako thought to herself, "I'm doomed!"
Xia Ye's words had touched her, and she instinctively took Xia Ye's hand, just as her mother opened the door and saw her.
What a coincidence!
and many more!
Isn't Xia Ye's spider sense supposed to be able to detect the flapping of a mosquito's wings within a radius of 100 meters?
How could he not have noticed his mother coming to open the door!
Miwako discovered the truth.
Then she witnessed firsthand how formidable her man was!
"Auntie, you're still awake!" Xia Ye greeted her mother with a bright, sunny smile. "Meihezi and I even agreed to come in quietly so as not to disturb your rest. I'm so sorry!"
Don't say that~
Miwako's mother smiled so much her eyes almost squinted, and quickly waved her hand:
"Actually, I had already fallen asleep and had only just woken up. I heard that brat's car (after she paid) and looked out the second-floor window. I was wondering why she was driving so ladylike today, but it turned out to be you, Xia Ye. Anyway, you guys didn't disturb my rest~"
"Does the auntie know me?"
Miwako's mother affectionately took Natsume's arm and led her into the house, covering her mouth and laughing at the same time:
"I do have some connections in the Metropolitan Police Department. Inspector Megure's daughter, Midori, often chats with me, so I've known about the rumors between you two for a long time!"
“A-Lu…”
Xia Ye and Miwako exchanged a glance.
It's a bit strange to hear this name from Miwako's mother...
Miwako rolled her eyes. Midori had already hooked up with Natsume, but her mother still didn't know and still treated her as a chat buddy!
"What's that look in your face?"
Miwako's mother slapped her daughter across the face, annoyed. "You have a boyfriend and you're still so boyish! Can't you be a little more ladylike?"
How can someone who looks like this please a man!
Miwako's beautiful eyes showed helplessness.
She originally thought that bringing a man home would reduce a lot of trouble for her, but she didn't expect that her status at home would be even lower, and she couldn't even compare to Xia Ye, who had just come to the house for the first time!
hateful!
“Auntie, Miwako is just surprised that you heard your news from Lady Inspector—” Natsume explained with a smile, “She didn’t tell Miwako when we were invited to her house…”
"That's it~"
Miwako's mother wasn't paying attention to her daughter; she was observing Natsume the whole time. "Come on in and change your shoes, Natsume. We don't have many men's slippers at home, only the ones Miwako's dad left behind, but they're new, so please don't mind."
"how come!"
Xia Ye put on those navy blue slippers.
Miwako and her mother were both stunned by it.
They seem to fit perfectly!
Chapter 419 Miwako's Mother: Natsume, stay in Miwako's room!
Although they are a new pair of slippers.
But it's the same outfit that Sato Masayoshi wore before.
Now it's on Xia Ye's feet.
Miwako and her mother felt a momentary daze, as if they were seeing Sato Masayoshi coming home from get off work many years ago and the two of them greeting him at the door.
The mother and daughter were filled with emotion for a moment.
After changing into slippers.
Come to the living room.
Miwako's mother brewed tea, preparing to interrogate Xia Ye like a mother-in-law interrogating her son-in-law.
