Ke Xue, the days of sharing a house with lawyer Fei

Chapter 40 Lan: Lawyer Fei, if you don’t come back, I won’t be able to protect your smile!
"Hey, Lan, what's up?"

Having just completed a commission in Nagoya, Kisaki Eri changed into a bathrobe and applied a facial mask beautifully. She was just about to enjoy the warmth of a rose bath when she received a call from Xiaolan.

Xiaolan pulled Kudo Shinichi into a coffee shop, and while stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon, she said, "Mom, it seems like we haven't talked for a long time. Last time I wanted to go to your new apartment to see you, but it seems like you have a little secret of your own recently.

I think, as the closest person in your life, I should talk to you about my recent life. "

"My secret?"

Kisaki Eri, who was holding the phone, had a strange tone.

In front of her daughter, she is a mother who is gentle but also a bit strict.

"Lan, did you hear or see something? When my commission in Nagoya is finished, let's meet in Tokyo. It's been a while since we last met."

Xiaolan took a deep breath and tried to sound calmer. "Mom, I know everything. You don't live alone now, but with Ye Shu. I have also met Ye Shu several times and know that you helped him pretend to be his girlfriend."

"Lan, how do you know each other?"

Lawyer Fei, who seemed very calm just now, suddenly had a breathing disorder.

She is the queen at work and the woman in her daughter's heart that no one can defeat!
But
When Kisaki Eri heard that Xiaolan knew about what happened between her and Ye Shu, all her calmness and pride began to crack and were gradually disintegrated by her daughter's words.

On one side is Ye Shu, and on the other side is Xiaolan.

The balance in Kisaki Eri's heart suddenly began to shake violently for no apparent reason.

Xiaolan said helplessly, "Actually, when my mother came home drunk that day, Shinichi and I happened to see it. Later, when Ye Shu and Okino Yoko went to Teitan High School together, we also met naturally, and because of my mother, we got to know each other a little.

I don’t know what you think, mom, but I can feel that Ye Shu has a good impression of you, and he has not concealed this affection in front of me at all.”

"Lan, I'm more than ten years older than Ye Shu. You know mom is not that kind of person."

Kisaki Eri's voice was full of tenderness.

Although Kisara felt a little excited when she heard Ye Shu express his affection for her very directly in front of Xiaolan, she still cared about Xiaolan's feelings.

Looking out the window at the happy couples leaving get off work and school, Xiaolan sighed, "Mom, as a daughter, I didn't want you and Ye Shu to have any contact at first. But it is precisely because I am your daughter that I know that in recent years, apart from work, Mom has only work left.

You haven't had a good meal for a long time, and no one accompanies you shopping for clothes. Even when you go to a coffee shop, you just sit alone in the corner and read case files.

When I was a child, what I liked most was my mother’s smile.

That smile is one of the reasons why I like my mother. My mother’s smile is the most beautiful smile in my heart.

But after I grew up, I don’t know how long it has been since I saw that kind of smile that I like most.

It was not until my mother was carried on Ye Shu's back that I realized that it was not that my mother had lost her smile, but that she had not been happy at all in these years. "

In the hotel, Eri Kisaki had never expected that her daughter, who was still in high school, would suddenly call her and say so many touching words.

With red eyes, Hibiki Eri wiped away the tears that were about to burst out. She was suddenly glad that these topics were what she and Xiaolan talked about on the phone.

As a mother, how can I cry in front of my daughter?

"Thank you, Lan."

Having a daughter who loves her like an angel, Kisaki Eri suddenly felt very satisfied and also very guilty.

After Xiaolan entered high school, her daughter cared more about her, but she was so devoted to her work that she paid too little attention to her daughter. Kudo Shinichi, who was drinking coffee, suddenly didn't feel so sleepy anymore.

Although Xiaolan's fists and legs always cause a little damage every time she is angry, this girl seems to have been so gentle since she was a child, no matter who she is.

Kudo Shinichi, who was still in his second year of high school, began to imagine his life outside of being a detective for the first time.

"So, if you want to thank me, you'd better come back soon. Ye Shu is a very good person, and he's even more popular with women. Lawyer Fei, if I don't work hard now, it may be difficult for me to protect your smile!"

Xiaolan changed the subject and finally stated the purpose of her call.

"Lan, what do you mean by that?"

Kiyori asked with some confusion.

"Did you see Host Mizuno Reina and Ye Shu together?"

Xiaolan gave a direct negative answer, "No, I didn't see Miss Mizunashi Reina and Ye Shu together, but Okino Yoko was smiling happily when she was with Ye Shu, and Officer Sato and Ye Shu were acting as a couple together.

Now Ye Shu and Officer Sato are walking hand in hand in hand in Tokyo as the sun is setting.

Although I don't want to admit it, as a man, Ye Shu does have qualities that attract the opposite sex."

Yoko Okino is Ye Shu's friend, and Eri Kissing knows that, but they are just friends they just met.

So who is Officer Sato?

Do we need to hold hands when pretending to be a couple?

Hey!
Ye Shu, we have pretended to be a couple before!

Are you stupid?
"Lan, who is the officer Sato you are talking about?"

Fei Yingli asked uncalmly.

"The flower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Ye Shu's senior sister, Sato Miwako."

As a lawyer, Kisaki Eri also has some connections in the police force, and is an old friend of Megure Jusan. She has actually heard of the name Sato Miwako.

In the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato Miwako has countless admirers, but she is still single and has never had any scandals with any police officer. This is enough to prove that her beauty is recognized by the Metropolitan Police Department.

She had told herself countless times in her heart that they were just pretend boyfriend and girlfriend and had only known each other for a few days, but Xiaolan's words still made Kisaki Eri's heart waver.

"Lan, what do you think?"

After hesitating for a while, Kisaki Eri decided to ask her daughter's opinion.

Retracting her gaze from the window, Xiaolan took a sip of the bitter coffee and said firmly, "My mother is Lawyer Hime, the undefeated queen of Tokyo's legal world! Whether it's the most popular host of Nichimi TV, the popular girl idol, or the flower of the Metropolitan Police Department, none of them can compare to my mother!"

"Thank you, Ran. I'm going back to Tokyo now."

There was a hint of firmness in Kisaki Eri's tone.

Emotions are impulsive by nature, and now with Xiaolan's support, she finally has the courage she lacks the most.

Have I, Kisaki Eri, ever lost?
Do not!
I never lose!

The war has just begun!
