Chapter 170 The Gardeners Have All Arrived
"Do you want your mother to be hurt by Uncle Mori a second time? Is that what you want?"
"No, no, I just want my mom and dad to be happy together. I didn't think about any of this," Xiaolan explained helplessly.
Su Xingbo put his arm around her and gently comforted her, "I know your intentions are good, but this is not what Uncle Maoli and your mother want. If they still have feelings for each other, they don't need your matchmaking at all; they will naturally remarry."
"But look at them now? They show no intention of remarrying at all, so let's just let things take their course and not force it too much, okay?"
This was all to give Ran a heads-up in advance, so that she wouldn't be unable to accept seeing him with Eri.
Brainwash her beforehand and make her believe what he says, so that she might not resist so strongly later.
"Then, then could you please introduce Yoko Okino to Daddy later?" Ran looked at him with pleading eyes, making it impossible for him to refuse.
Tears-filled eyes make it impossible for anyone to agree with them.
Su Xingbo whispered a few words in her ear, and Xiaolan blushed and shyly nodded in agreement.
"It's still early today, how about we take Yuanzi shopping together?" Su Xingbai suggested.
"Okay... I'll do whatever you say," Xiaolan nodded.
He then called Sonoko, who excitedly shouted on the other end of the phone, "Wait for me! Wait for me!"
An hour later, Su Xingbo appeared dressed in all black, wearing black sunglasses, while Xiao Lan next to him was dressed casually in a blue and white shirt and denim shorts.
The two stood downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency, waiting for Sonoko to arrive.
at last.
We finally arrived at the garden.
Su Xingbo took off his sunglasses in disbelief and looked around. Many people got out of the two cars.
He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and realized that people from both cars had indeed gotten out.
Yuanzi got out of the car and jogged over, taking Xiaolan's arm: "Xiaolan, you've finally been won over by Su Xingbai. I've been waiting for this day for so long."
"Huh?!" Xiaolan's cherry-like mouth gaped open, unable to believe that these words came from Sonoko's mouth.
Vermouth, Urako Seiran, Ayako Suzuki Tomoko all came over.
"Did you leave Yukiko and Akemi at home?" Su Xingbo asked.
Vermouth said with a smile, "Someone has to stay home to take care of the children. Yukiko stayed voluntarily, and Akemi stayed to keep Yukiko company because she didn't want her to be too lonely."
"How come you all suddenly thought of the same thing?"
“We all heard Sonoko’s startled cries, and we thought we’d surprise you, so we came together. Surprised?” Ayako said with a smile, linking her arm with Sonoko’s.
He was so surprised that he didn't dare to speak. Luckily, Sonoko pulled Ran aside to whisper to her.
"Surprise, surprise!" Su Xingbai echoed.
The two cars then started up again and set off. Su Xingbo didn't drive anymore, and Ayako and Vermouth each drove a car to go shopping.
The group arrived at the bustling commercial street, which was packed with people and filled with all kinds of shops.
Sonoko excitedly dragged Ran into a clothing store, while Vermouth and the others strolled leisurely, enjoying the scenery along the street.
Su Xingbai was somewhat helpless against the women's enthusiasm for shopping and could only follow along.
He enjoyed the envious and jealous looks from passersby the whole way. Who would travel with so many young and beautiful women? Their intimate actions proved that their relationship was anything but simple.
"Hey, when are you planning to bring Xiaolan back to the villa?" Vermouth said casually.
Su Xingbo shook his head and said, "Xiao Lan probably won't go to the villa. Her father is not a very reliable person, and she is a very filial person, so it will probably take some more time."
Vermouth stopped talking and pulled Tomoko Suzuki into a high-end store to browse.
"What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy. Did we come out with you and ruin your plans?" Ayako asked considerately.
He patted her head and laughed, "No, let's just consider today a little date in advance. Once the villa on the mountaintop is finished, we'll go on a trip. We'll bring Akemi and Yukiko along, and I'll leave Rena and Sally in the care of my underlings for a few days."
“Great! I’ll tell Yukiko and Akemi this good news when we get home tonight. They’ll be so happy.” Ayako clapped and laughed.
Su Xingbo laughed and said, "Why don't you go shopping too? You don't need to stay here with me."
“I’m not stupid. There will be plenty of opportunities to go shopping in the future, but opportunities to have you all to myself like this are rare. I want to enjoy this moment to the fullest,” Ayako said cleverly.
Su Xingbo paused upon hearing this, then placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry."
There's no need for apologies between us. I know exactly what kind of person you are, but I don't regret it. As long as you have a place for me in your heart, that's enough.
Ayako's words deeply moved him. If they weren't on the street, he would have definitely given Ayako a proper reward.
“Let them go shopping, let’s get a hotel room and try to get you pregnant soon,” Su Xingbo suggested.
However, Ayako refused. If she went to a hotel with him, she could forget about staying in the villa anymore. They all went shopping, and she was the only one who went to a hotel with Su Xingbo.
There will definitely be some suspicious people who will have different thoughts. She doesn't want others to look at her with strange eyes, especially since this is someone she will be spending every day with in the future.
Needless to say, she will definitely refuse; she won't do anything that would make people talk behind her back.
“Let’s talk about this when you get back to the villa. The kids aren’t in a rush anyway, and they won’t be able to have a good time right away. Let’s wait until you get back to the villa,” Ayako explained.
"Alright then, let's go find Sonoko and the others," Su Xingbai said.
“Okay~” Ayako took his arm and walked into the clothing store with a smile.
As soon as he entered the clothing store, he was utterly amazed by someone.
The first thing you see is Sonoko wearing a low-cut pink dress with openwork sleeves. Only the two white shoulder straps are tied with bows. She has changed into a pair of low-heeled high heels with pearl embellishments, which are just right to match the dress.
She looks completely different from her previous image, like a completely different person. She looks absolutely stunning.
