[They don’t know where they got the news that you were coming to Neon. They did want to send you an invitation letter through me, but I rejected it. 】

[Because this banquet is to celebrate his daughter’s birthday, and he is also preparing to find his future son-in-law at the banquet. I think President Shijing is trying to get your attention, but the size of the Shijing family is not very big, and it is not worthy of you. 】

To Mouri Kogoro, the three pieces of news were like three slaps hitting him in the face at once.

Although he usually had contact with these wealthy families, he always held them in a respectful manner.

This was the first time he was invited to a high-society banquet.

In the past, he was looked down upon by both Memu Shisan and Fei Yingli because his ability to solve crimes was not as good as Karasawa's.

Even his daughter is somewhat pursuing Tang Ze.

Mouri Kogoro's self-esteem was very frustrated, and he wanted to use this banquet to regain [-]%.

But he didn't expect that what he cherished the most was actually something Tang Ze didn't want at all.

This sense of disparity made him feel extremely broken.

He put the plate in his hand on the table and walked towards the room in frustration.

Mao Lilan asked with concern: "Dad, are you okay?"

"I should be fine. Xiaolan, you don't have to persuade me. I will be able to adjust myself in a while. If I can't adjust, then you can go to the banquet tonight by yourself. I may not be able to take a step out of the room..."

Mouri Kogoro's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, and the rest of what he said couldn't be heard at all.

Just as Mao Lilan was about to ask something, he closed the door to the room.

Tang Ze looked at the box she was carrying, stood up and walked to her.

"Thank you for the dessert, I'll leave first."

Tangze reached out to pick it up, but was dodged by Mao Lilan.

Tangze: "?"

Mao Lilan said: "Well, you heard what dad just said. I have never attended the banquet alone. If dad can't go today, can you go with me?"

"No, what I hate most is attending banquets."

Tang Ze refused very simply.

There was a look of disappointment on Mao Lilan's face.

But if you think about it from Tangze's perspective, it's understandable.

"I... I can."

Just as she handed the box to Karasawa, she heard a childish voice coming from outside the window.

The two of them turned to look at the window at the same time, and saw Conan sitting on it.

"Conan, why did you run to the window?" Mao Lilan was shocked.

Conan rolled his eyes at Tang Ze and said angrily: "It's not because of some people that I can only climb in through the window."

Conan jumped to the ground and said, "Sister Xiaolan, I want to join you at the banquet tonight!"

Mao Lilan looked at Tang Ze with a troubled expression.

Because she actually wanted Tang Ze to accompany her.

Tang Ze pursed his lips.

I don't know why, but when he heard Conan say this, he felt an urge to attend the banquet.

Geez, the damned desire to win.

Karasawa took the box containing the desserts and said, "Okay, no matter whether Mr. Mori goes or not tonight, I will be with you."

Mao Lilan asked excitedly: "Really? Are you really willing to accompany me?"

"After all, this is your first time. I will definitely join you on a journey of subversion in life." Tang Ze said with a crooked smile.

There was another deep meaning in his words, but the innocent Mao Lilan was still immersed in the joy of Tang Ze's promise to her, and she didn't notice his evil smile at all.

However, Conan, who is also a man, instantly understood what Karasawa meant.

He took a step forward and shouted: "I want to go too!"

Of course he had to go.

Tangze's words sounded more than just a joke to him.

He was very worried that if he was not with Mao Lilan tonight, he would still be his Xiaolan when she came back.

Mao Lilan really couldn't defeat him, and was worried that if she rejected him, he would follow him secretly, and it would be terrible if something unexpected happened.

"Okay, you can come too."

After hearing this, Conan's face looked better.

He looked at Tang Ze proudly, as if he was showing off to him.

That arrogant look seemed to say: Look, Xiaolan is still facing me!

Tang Ze gave him a childish look and said to Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, the banquet starts in the evening. I will go back to take a shower and change clothes. I will pick you up at eight o'clock in the evening."

"Well, see you then."

Mao Lilan sent Tang Ze downstairs, and looked at the rear of the car that gradually disappeared from sight, and her heart became much more at ease.

Sure enough, as long as Tang Ze was around, she had nothing to fear.

but.

Since it was a banquet, she definitely couldn't just go there casually, she had to dress up well.

Chapter 415: Teach Princess Yingli the correct way to express her gratitude

After Karasawa left the Mori Detective Agency, he went straight to Fei Yingli's office.

From the moment he got in the car to the door of her office, he was holding the box of desserts made by Mao Lilan himself.

I was afraid that because of the driver's carelessness, the desserts in the box would be ruined.

The car slowly stopped at the downstairs of the office. Tang Ze couldn't wait for the driver to get out of the car and open the door for him before he couldn't wait to get out first.

He had already inquired with Kuriyama Midori when he came, and Fei Yingli was currently in the office sorting out the information he wanted for tomorrow's court session.

Moreover, the difficulty of this case is not small, and she may stay in the office overnight tonight.

After Tang Ze knew about this, he went to Fei Yingli's favorite restaurant on the way back to pack her favorite food.

Through this period of time together, he discovered that she had a bad habit.

That is, when I stay up late and work overtime, I always skip meals. Even if I do, I only eat some nutritious things such as chocolate and bread~.

In addition, she worked in the hot spring hotel all day yesterday, and she had to work overtime to sort out information today.

If you don't eat nutritiously enough, your body will soon become tired and collapse.

Tang Ze took the elevator to Fei Yingli's office carrying large and small bags.

Kuriyama Midori wanted to get up and greet him, but he refused.

Tang Ze indicated with his eyes that she should continue to do her own thing and ignore him.

Kuriyama Midori was very discerning, holding the documents on the table in front of her and walking towards the public office area outside.

This was to provide Tang Ze and Fei Yingli with a place where they would not be disturbed at all.

After opening the door and entering, Karasawa saw the empty desk behind him, and felt increasingly satisfied with Midori Kuriyama as his assistant.

It would be great if all the assistants he met in the future could be as sensible and discerning as her.

When Tang Ze opened the door and walked in, Fei Yingli was still immersed in her work.

The current scene in the office is not much better than the previous situation when the office was harmed by villains.

Not to mention the pile of files on her desk, there are now piles of files on the sofa and on the floor.

At this time, Tang Ze was very curious. How much information does one need to read to be a lawyer?

Karasawa didn't deliberately slow down his footsteps, and even when he put down the bags and boxes that made a loud noise in his hands, Fei Yingli didn't notice anyone entering her office.

Tang Ze saw that most of her body was blocked by the documents on both sides of the table, and he could barely see half of her head moving from time to time, so he did not disturb her.

Instead, she silently tidied up the information on the sofa and coffee table for her.

After moving aside, he placed all the delicacies he brought on the table. Next to the food was the dessert made by Mao Lilan himself.

After cleaning up, Tang Ze sat on the sofa and waited quietly for Fei Yingli to be attracted by the smell of food.

Sure enough, although Fei Yingli usually forgets to eat when she gets busy, she is still an ordinary person after all.

When you are hungry, your attention will definitely be distracted once you smell the smell of food around you.

Tangze saw with his own eyes that her work efficiency was declining little by little, and when she looked up and followed the smell of food, he met her eyes without hesitation.

Fei Yingli's eyes were full of surprise when she saw Tang Ze sitting on the sofa.

"Ozawa, when did you come?"

"I've been here for a while." Tang Ze stood up and walked towards her, came behind her and put his hand on her shoulder, "I brought you food. Let's take a rest and eat something first."

Fei Yingli finally raised her head after smelling the aroma of food. She stretched her neck and looked in the direction of the sofa, and saw that the table was full.

"What delicious food did you bring me?"

"Go and see."

Tang Ze pushed her back and pushed her to the sofa. Fei Yingli glanced around briefly, and her eyes finally fell on the desserts next to the food.

"Are these desserts from the one you bought for Yoko before?"

"Do you remember?"

"Of course I remember. You bought too much for Yoko last time. She couldn't finish it. The next day, you brought me a lot. I tasted the dessert. It tasted good, but it was a bit too much for me. sweet."

When Fei Yingli said the last part, her face clearly expressed her dislike for that dessert.

This played into Tangze's wish. He helped her sit down, first picked up a small cake and put it in her hand.

"This time it's different, you'll know when you try it."

Under Tang Ze's strong recommendation, Fei Yingli took a small bite.

Like Karasawa who tasted dessert for the first time, she ate very little in the first bite. It could be said that she only tasted a tiny bit of cream.

The portion was so small that those who didn't know it thought the cake was poisonous and would kill anyone who ate more.

What followed was still the same as Tangze. After taking the first bite, Fei Yingli's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she dug out a large piece and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully.

"The taste of this dessert is really different from the last one. The cream is very fragrant, the cake is soft, and it's not overly sweet."

Fei Yingli turned to Tang Ze and asked, "Is this still that dessert?"

"No, this is a dessert made by Xiaolan herself."

"What?" Fei Yingli asked again in disbelief: "Is this made by Xiaolan herself?"

 …

"Yes, she personally selected the desserts last time. She later figured out these desserts based on her own feelings. She knew that we don't like sweet food, so she specially made them not so sweet."

After listening to Tang Ze's words, when Fei Yingli looked at the half-eaten cake in her hand again, her eyes became more loving and gratified.

It's not easy for her to see Mao Lilan even once because of work, let alone taste the food she made by herself.

"Xiaolan's craftsmanship is so good."

When Fei Yingli ate again, she would taste it carefully in small bites.

Every time you take a bite, you will let out an ooh and aah.

After finishing the piece on her hand, she put the rest back into the box.

"Why don't you continue eating?"

"I'm going to put the rest away and eat it slowly."

"Don't be so reluctant. Xiaolan will be very happy if she knows that you like to eat the food she made. If you want to eat it again, just tell me. Anyway, she and I are in the same class now. She has prepared it and brought it to school. , I’ll send it to you again.”

Fei Yingli was so happy that she didn't know what words to use to express her mood at this time.
