Xia Ye's villa welcomed a guest.
The guest has fair, jade-like skin, wears a black kimono, has exquisite and beautiful features, and possesses an elegant demeanor. She is a rare classical beauty. 3.6!
"Jinghua, cough cough, Madam Jinghua?"
Although everyone knew that Natsume had gotten involved with Mrs. Hattori, she felt she still needed to be careful about how she addressed her.
"What brings you here today?"
"certainly--"
Chi Bo Jinghua surveyed her surroundings with her beautiful eyes.
The huge villa is full of technology and modernity, and feels much more comfortable than my own so-called mansion.
Besides Natsume, Elena, Akemi, and Shiho also live in this villa.
This whole family is with Xia Ye—
So to say.
My situation isn't really a big deal.
"I actually have a request for you!"
"Commission?"
Xia Ye really didn't expect this.
Not only him, but also Akemi, who was receiving guests, and Shiho and Elena, who were accompanying her, were all a little confused. Was this kimono-clad beauty here to post a request?
"Yes!"
Chibo Shizuka smiled sweetly:
"Is such that--"
After hearing Ikenami Shizuka's "request," Natsume felt a strong sense of déjà vu—
Wasn't that the "case" she first encountered in the original storyline, where she went to the Mouri Detective Agency to hire Kogoro Mouri for his case?
She had a photo that contained her "dark history" in the hands of her middle school classmate, and she wanted to take it back, so she went to Kogoro Mouri.
Of course, this was just a side purpose of hers; in the original story, she wanted to confirm whether Hattori Heiji was being bullied by Mouri Kogoro.
And now her goal—
Xia Ye's lips curled up.
They must have come to see me!
Wow, they really can't wait!
Chapter 412 Ikenami Shizuka's Method of Untying Her Kimono~
Xia Ye took Chi Bo Jing Hua out.
On the sofa in the living room of the villa.
Shiho watched them leave and complained to her sister:
"I never expected that this lady, who looks so dignified and gentle, would take the initiative to come to Natsume's door in person. Is she the first one like this?"
"Of course, Yukiko doesn't count~"
"He is indeed the first one, but that's quite normal~"
Akemi covered her mouth and chuckled:
"That scoundrel of ours is most unable to resist beautiful women taking the initiative. If a woman does, something's bound to happen!"
"Speaking of which, Shizuka Ikenami is indeed amazing—"
"His weaknesses were revealed in just one night, and now he's come knocking on our door."
"She should understand that, given Xia Ye's personality, unless they're passing through Osaka, the two of them have virtually no chance to sneak... cough cough, have a secret rendezvous!"
Shiho rolled her eyes at her older sister. Her sister used to be a gentle and elegant lady, but now she could utter vulgar words like "cheating" without hesitation.
They've really gone bad!
It's all the fault of some bad guy!
but--
I'm not much better myself.
She used to be the Ice Queen Xia Ye talked about, aloof and indifferent. Now look at her!
Together with Ran and Sonoko in the wild forest—
I blush just thinking about it! It's so embarrassing!
Why are you blushing?
Akemi reached out and pinched her younger sister's cheek, her beautiful eyes mischievous:
"Could it be that he missed him as soon as he left the house?"
"Wasn't it just last night—"
"sister!"
Shiho playfully protested and reached out to tickle Akemi!
The two sisters were making a ruckus.
This effectively puts the topic of Shizuka Ikebana behind us.
after all--
For them.
We've become accustomed to having another one like Ikehashi Shizuka.
It just provided more topics for conversation.
...
Xia Ye was driving.
Drive slowly through the streets of Beika Town.
Chibo Jinghua looked around at the shops on both sides of the road, her beautiful eyes recalling:
"I haven't been to Tokyo in a long time."
"Actually, I quite miss it~"
"Shall I go for a walk with you?"
Xia Ye glanced at Chi Bo Jinghua in the passenger seat.
She sat gracefully upright in a kimono, her two slender, fair hands resting on her thighs, her expression serene and composed.
It's as if this isn't a secret rendezvous with a lover.
Instead, they came openly and honestly to meet their friends.
Xia Ye admired her attitude.
"Okay~"
Chibo Jinghua turned her gaze from the car window to Xia Ye, a charming smile appearing on her pretty face:
"I haven't been to Beikacho for years—"
"It looks like a lot of new shops have opened here."
"It would be good to go for a walk."
"By the way, don't you have other requests?"
Xia Ye's eyes held a hint of mockery:
"Shopping takes up a lot of time!"
"Humph~"
Chi Bo Jinghua gave Xia Ye a reproachful look with her beautiful eyes:
"Asking questions knowingly!"
"That commission is easy for you—"
"I can take care of it while I'm shopping!"
"Haha~"
Xia Ye smiled smugly, "I understand, but—"
"But what?"
"but--"
Xia Ye glanced at her delicate profile and her striking, elegant kimono:
"Aren't you afraid of being recognized if you go shopping with me like this?"
"Heiji Hattori is a highly observant high school detective, and that Hattori Chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police is even more exceptional—"
"What will you do if we get found out?"
"Hehe, I thought you were too busy indulging in sensual pleasures to care about these things, but I didn't expect you to care about me so much~"
Chi Bojinghua's beautiful eyes were like water, shimmering with a captivating light. She raised her long sleeve to cover her mouth and chuckled softly:
"Heiji's been busy preparing for his midterms, and Heizo's been swamped with the Osaka serial murders. They haven't had time for me at all~"
"I told them I was coming to Tokyo to see a friend, and they didn't suspect a thing!"
"Do not worry!"
"I wasn't worried at all~"
Xia Ye placed her hand on her leg with a half-smile. Even through the not-so-thin kimono, she could feel the amazing elasticity—
"I'm just worried you won't handle it well!"
"It's okay~"
Ikeba Shizuka gently patted his hand and hummed softly:
"Don't move!"
"You're driving!"
"Good~"
Xia Ye glanced at the road, gently turned the steering wheel, and drove into a shopping mall, parking the car in the mall's underground parking garage.
This is a popular spot for women in Beika Town; it has everything from fashion and beauty products to bags and clothing.
Yukiko and the others often come here to play, so I think Shizuka Ikenami would like it too~
"I didn't expect you to understand women so well!"
Ikeba Shizuka clearly knew this place, and she teased with a smile in her beautiful eyes:
"Is it because you played with Yukiko and the others a lot that you developed this skill?"
"Cough cough~"
Xia Ye coughed lightly.
Shizuka Ikenami did indeed meet Yukiko, but—
How did you know...?
"Of course, Kazuha told me!"
Ikeba Shizuka concealed the existence of the log.
However, what she said earlier wasn't a lie; she had indeed had a deep conversation with Kazuha about Natsume.
That girl also came up with a really outrageous plan—
