Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

Page 48

Otherwise, there wouldn't even be a chance for a mistress.

Compared to Sonoko Suzuki's unwillingness to give up, Ran seemed rather indifferent.

Seemingly noticing the question in Xing Gongyu's eyes, Xiaolan smiled and said, "Since I can't be Brother Yu's first time, it doesn't matter which one. I'd rather be more natural."

Xiaolan actually preferred to have it on her wedding day, but she knew that wasn't very realistic.

Xing Gongyu had promised Xiaolan that she would always be his wife, and he would never go back on his word. If he could only choose one to marry, he would definitely choose Xiaolan.

Xiaolan firmly believes this too.

Although they can't detect the strange time changes in the Detective Conan world, they still need to graduate high school to get married, which is more than a year away.

She didn't think she could wait that long, nor did she want Xing Gongyu to wait that long.

Therefore, she chose to let things take their natural course, believing that things would soon fall into place.

"Lan, you're so cunning!"

Hearing Ran's statement, Sonoko Suzuki objected, complaining, "Doesn't that make me seem petty?"

"hey-hey."

Xiaolan turned her face away and chuckled secretly.

Everyone has a different personality, but besides personality, she does have her own little schemes.

Compared to fighting over something, men are clearly more attracted to women who are generous and magnanimous.

Hoshimiya Yu patted Suzuki Sonoko's round little bottom and laughed, "Sonoko, don't worry, I like that about you too."

Sonoko Suzuki's easygoing personality is actually quite endearing. It's easy to get along with people like that, and you don't have to worry about things all the time.

If such a person is a beautiful young girl, then she'll be even more likable.

Sonoko is really pretty, but her headband hides it.

Hoshimiya Yu had wanted to ask her to change her hairstyle more than once, but considering Sherry's future, she ultimately didn't say anything.

There's no need to create unnecessary danger. If you want Sonoko's version of Sherry, just take off her headband when you get to bed.

Looking at the girls laughing and joking, Eri Kisaki felt completely out of place.

Originally, there was also Kuriyama Midori on her side, but after one night, she seemed to be the only 'outsider' present.

She is clearly Xiaolan's mother, and should be the closest person to Xiaolan.

She was the one who started it... cough cough.

Seeing Ran and Hoshimiya Yu's interaction made Eri Kisaki feel particularly uncomfortable.

The thought of her daughter sharing a man with so many women always made her feel uneasy, a sense of responsibility as a mother.

But looking at the handsome and sunny Hoshiguma Yu, who is flawless except for his womanizing ways, Attorney Fei's quick wit didn't know where to begin... no, where to launch an attack.

Seeing that the topic had come up, Hoshimiya Yu thought for a moment and told Ran and the others about Kujou Hitomi.

Sonoko Suzuki let out a wry sigh, "It's too late. Ms. Kuriyama has taken the spot for the mistress..."

"Sonoko." Ran, who was shy, called out to Sonoko, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed, because Sonoko kept joking about it.

"Hi, hi."

Sonoko Suzuki chuckled, no longer dwelling on the mistress, and instead curiously inquired about Hitomi Kujo.

She didn't go to the tropical amusement park that day, nor did she meet Kujou Hitomi. She was very curious about this college girl who had the good fortune to take Hoshimiya Yu's virginity.

Masami Asai and Midori Kuriyama are the same; they want to know who beat them to it.

Instead of Kishida's death, Hoshimiya Yu briefly recounted how Kujou Hitomi fell in love with him at first sight.

We met at the amusement park, exchanged numbers, visited each other's homes, and then the atmosphere warmed up...

It was a very ordinary procedure, and the women didn't think much of it after hearing it.

Only Xiaolan fell into deep thought.

Judging from the timeline, that day was exactly the day before she went to Moonshadow Island with Hoshiguma Yu...

"No wonder Yu-ge seemed different that day. Besides being sleepy, was it because he had turned from a boy into a man?"

When Xiaolan said this, everyone present looked at her in astonishment.

It's one thing if you can tell when a woman has lost her virginity, since she's bled and there will be some marks left.

You actually managed to spot a man changing jobs!

Xiao Lan smiled sheepishly, "It's just hindsight. I didn't think of it at the time. I just felt that Brother Yu was acting a little differently than usual."

"That's quite remarkable..."

Eri looked at Ran in surprise, not expecting her daughter to have such keen intuition.

In fact, Ran's intuitive talent was inherited from Eri Kisaki.

However, the student surpasses the teacher.

Eri Kisaki has three talents: intuition (purple), precise wording (blue), and alluring charm (purple).

Intuition (Purple) is a weakened version of Ran's Sixth Sense.

Precise wording (blue): Use the most concise language to get straight to the point; the effect is greatly enhanced when there is evidence.

With her intuition combined with precise wording, along with her own abilities and seriousness towards the case, Eri Kisaki achieved a 100% success rate in her lawsuits.

Eri Kisaki's abilities are beyond doubt, but her hard work is also indispensable in earning her the title of the undefeated queen of the legal profession.

Eri Kisaki is a workaholic, otherwise she wouldn't have left Ran with Kogoro Mouri.

If Ran had grown up with her, it might not have been as good as growing up with Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri may not be very capable, but at least he ensured that Ran had a father figure during her childhood.

With Eri by her side, Ran probably lost both her father's and mother's love.

Now that Ran has grown up, she doesn't need her parents' care as much, so it's more appropriate for her to stay with Eri.

The last purple talent, "Alluring Beauty," belongs to the charm category.

[Alluring and Curvaceous]: Possesses a figure with curves far exceeding those of the average person, significantly enhanced flexibility, increased attractiveness to the opposite sex, and a slight increase in desire. The effect is greatly amplified in occasions that showcase the figure, such as dancing or banquets.

As the most alluring wife in the world of Detective Conan, Eri Kisaki has always had a top-notch figure, so it's not surprising that Hoshimiya Yu possesses this talent.

However, Eri Kisaki usually wears business attire, which completely covers her beautiful figure.

Even though Eri Kisaki was covered up completely, her exaggerated curves still made people subconsciously look at her.

Every time she sees Eri Kisaki, Hoshimiya Yu feels a strange fire rising in her heart, something that Ran and other girls have never shown her.

This is probably the unique allure of a beautiful, mature woman.

Unlike teenage beauties, her alluring body always makes people instinctively think of erotic things.

Even though Eri was just sitting on a stool eating, dressed in proper home clothes, when Hoshimiya Yu looked at her, he subconsciously wanted to explore the proud body beneath her clothes.

Forcing herself to look away from Eri, Hoshimiya Yu silently soothed the restless little Yu.

Haste makes waste. He definitely wants to win over Eri, but not now.

Eri Kisaki is Ran's biological mother, after all. It's unreasonable for Yuu Hoshimiya to take the initiative to intervene.

He didn't want to have a falling out with Xiaolan over this.

Therefore, he cannot take the initiative with Eri Kisaki; he must make this beautiful, mature woman, who has been celibate for many years, offer herself to him...

At the very least, there will be an accident, or something unavoidable.

No one knew what Xing Gongyu was thinking, but his burning gaze could not escape the observation of the women.

Xiao Lan angrily kicked Xing Gongyu under the table. No matter how sexy and beautiful her mother was, as her future son-in-law, he should at least show some respect.

067 Suzuki House

Sonoko Suzuki and the others chuckled to themselves; Eri Kisaki's figure was indeed amazing.

As women themselves, they couldn't help but take a second look, let alone Hoshino Yu.

"Mr. Hoshimiya, isn't it beautiful?" Sonoko Suzuki teased.

Masami Asai touched the little bunny on her chest. "Little brother Hoshimiya, do you still prefer the sexy figure of Attorney Kisaki?"

Kuriyama Midori deliberately chimed in, whispering to Hoshimiya Hare, "I have some private photos of Attorney Kisaki here, do you want them?"

Eri Kisaki is Ran's mother, but not their mother; she's someone who enjoys watching the drama unfold.

The secretary is Eri Kisaki's closest person over the years, so there's a high possibility that she has private photos in her possession.

Hoshimiya Yu's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

This performance caused the women to chuckle secretly.

"I'm full, I'm going back to work now."

Even Eri, who had been trying to remain calm, could no longer ignore it. Her fair face flushed red, and she put down her chopsticks and fled in panic.

"Is Attorney Kisaki shy?" Kuriyama Midori asked, somewhat surprised.

“That’s true,” Sonoko Suzuki agreed.

Ran watched Eri's retreating figure and murmured, "This is the first time I've ever seen Mom like this..."

Eri, who had already returned to her home, leaned against the front door and took a deep breath.

After a long while, my turbulent emotions finally calmed down.

What made her shy wasn't Hoshino Yu's burning gaze; she'd seen that kind of gaze far too often.

What truly embarrassed her was that she didn't dislike Hoshino Yu's gaze; on the contrary, she felt a sense of pride and smugness, and even had the urge to let Hoshino Yu look at her more.

This situation has never happened before, not even with Kogoro Mouri back then.

It's understandable that he didn't know Hoshimiya Yu was a womanizer when they first met.

But now that she clearly knows that Xing Gongyu is a womanizer and is her daughter's boyfriend, it's hard for her to accept this situation again.

Is she also a superficial woman who judges by appearance?

No, that's not right.

Eri Kisaki has had many handsome suitors over the years, but none of them have caught her eye.

I didn't even find anyone I liked, let alone anyone who left an impression on me.

Besides, are all the girls like Kuriyama Midori and Ran only popular because Hoshimiya Hayao is handsome?

Perhaps that's part of the reason, but definitely not the whole story.

If Hoshimiya Hayao isn't Ran's boyfriend...

Eri Kisaki felt incredibly ashamed of the thought that had suddenly popped into her head. How could she have such thoughts about her daughter's boyfriend!

Eri Kisaki throws herself into the never-ending work, trying to numb and distract herself with it.

She did manage to do it, but that only addressed the symptoms, not the root cause.

As a price, she will be met with an even stronger and more irresistible desire next time.

…………

After lunch, Mami Asai stayed home to take care of Midori Kuriyama, who had difficulty moving around.

Xiaolan returned to the firm.

She hasn't seen Kogoro Mouri since she returned from Tsukikage Island. Half of her vacation is almost over, and if Kogoro Mouri doesn't come back soon, she'll have to consider calling the police.

Kogoro Mouri must have gone out to fool around, but even if he did, he should have spent almost all his money.

He's still his father, after all; he can't just leave Kogoro Mori to fend for himself.

However, now that she has found someone she wants to live with and spend her life with, Ran is also considering letting Kogoro Mouri live alone.

She could never take care of Kogoro Mouri forever.
