My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Ichiro Takayanagi, of course, did not put the photo away; instead, he handed it directly to Suzuka Oki.

"Of course I'll show you this photo. You can make your own decision after you see it."

After taking the photo and glancing at it, Suzuka Ooki's eyes reddened. She hadn't expected her mother to miss her to this extent.

But Suzuka Ooki immediately noticed something unusual and pointed to a teddy bear in the photo, asking:

"We don't have a teddy bear like this at home. Are you lying to me?"

Katsura Kotonoha also noticed Zhou Yi's haggard appearance. She had originally intended to persuade Ooki Suzuka to go home first, but she didn't expect Ooki Suzuka to raise this question.

Then all eyes fell on Ryuji Oki. If he didn't give a good explanation, the police might come to his door for a talk.

"This teddy bear was taken from my apartment by your parents after they went to the police station with me to explain the situation last time."

Because I told you, Lingxia, you might not go home immediately.

Having a teddy bear around might distract your mom a little, but realistically, it won't really help.

After hearing Ryuji Ōki's explanation, Suzuka Ōki's expression turned rather unpleasant. She didn't want anything belonging to Ryuji Ōki to enter their house.

"Auntie, I want to go back and see my mother."

After finishing her speech, Suzuka Ooki put the photos away and then made her request to Manami Katsura.

Chapter 353 Be careful, can I kiss you?

Ooki Suzuka has only been here for a few days, but she has already fallen in love with the lifestyle here.

However, after seeing some photos of her mother through Ryuji Oki, she discovered that her mother's excessive longing for him had led to this situation.

Of course she should go back and see her mother, otherwise she would be considered an unfilial daughter.

Of course, Manami Katsura wouldn't refuse Suzuka Ōki's request.

She had previously said that all Ooki Suzuka needed to do was to go home once she figured things out, and that she would figure out the part-time job situation herself.

But now that Suzuka Ooki's mother is in this situation, her daughter definitely needs to go back and comfort her.

She is also a mother and can understand some of Haruka Oki's thoughts.

"Of course, no problem. Before you came here to work part-time, I was able to support this shop."

But this time when you come home, I have a small request for you.

That means you can't go back with your uncle; I think he has ill intentions.

When Katsura Manami said this, she did so directly in front of Oki Ryuji.

This made Ryuji Oki's expression turn somewhat unpleasant; he hadn't expected Manami Katsura to be so direct.

However, Ryuji Oki did not get angry, because he knew that the reason why Manami Katsura had this confidence was because she had a man like Ichiro Takayanagi by her side.

If I were to lose my temper at this moment, I would certainly suffer some retaliation from Takayanagi Ichiro.

He had no idea what kind of background Takayanagi Ichiro was, and there was no need for him to get into a conflict with someone like Takayanagi Ichiro.

"I'm just here to deliver a photo. I never intended to go home with you, Lingxia, so your worries are unnecessary, ma'am."

Not only could Ryuji Oki not get angry, he also had to offer an explanation.

If Takayanagi Ichiro thinks he's an extremely despicable person, the police might come and arrest him again.

Even if you say these things, I still won't feel at ease with you.

If it were a normal person, they could have just gone straight inside the shop the last time they came; there was absolutely no need for them to be sneaking around outside.

Katsura Manami did not choose based on Oki Ryuji's explanations, but believed in Oki Ryuji's words, which deeply moved Oki Suzuka.

Although he didn't spend much time with this family, he felt at home here.

"In that case, let the older brother go with us."

My older brother is invincible; no one can bully him.

Unexpectedly, Gui Xin, this little girl, actually made such a suggestion, and everyone's attention fell on her.

This made her head spin a little, so she snuggled closer to Takayanagi Ichiro, but still managed to explain in a muffled voice:

“Sister Lingxia is a part-time employee at Mom’s shop, so Mom has an obligation to protect her safety.”

But Mom, you have to take care of the shop and can't go home with Lingxia yourself. You can have your older brother do it instead.

Although Ooki Suzuka's gaze had previously made Katsura a little wary, and she thought that Ooki Suzuka might very well compete with her for Takayanagi Ichiro, Katsura was still willing to give Ooki Suzuka some advice at this time.

"I think you're right to be careful, but it's not right to make things difficult for your older brother, Ichiro."

Ichiro Takayanagi has already helped this shop and this family so much.

Even if the mother and her two daughters tried to repay Takayanagi Ichiro together, they probably wouldn't be able to repay this debt of gratitude.

Now they want Takayanagi Ichiro to accompany Oki Suzuka home again, which is clearly a way of ordering Takayanagi Ichiro around. Katsura Manami is a little worried that Takayanagi Ichiro might get angry.

"Brother Ichiro, Suzuka has been doing very well here these days."

If she leaves immediately, it might have a slight impact on her mother.

At this time, Katsura Kotonoha also tried to persuade Takayanagi Ichiro to accompany Ooki Suzuka home.

Both sisters believed that Ichiro Takayanagi was invincible and that there would be no difficulty for him.

Even if Suzuka Oki's parents have objections, Ichiro Takayanagi will definitely be able to persuade them if he intervenes.

"If it's just accompanying your part-time staff home to give an explanation, I don't have much of a problem. I just hope things will go more smoothly for you in the future."

Takayanagi Ichiro readily agreed to the request, but not because Oki Suzuka was good-looking; rather, he wanted to offer some assistance to Katsura Manami.

Hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words deeply moved Katsura Manami.

If she were at home instead of in the shop, she would definitely disregard her two daughters and immediately repay Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Ichiro, thank you."

Even now, with her two daughters, part-time staff, and even a man who delivers photos to her shop, she still manages to keep her shop afloat.

Katsura Manami still came to Takayanagi Ichiro's side and gave him a big kiss on the cheek to express her gratitude.

Of course, the reason they didn't go any deeper was because Ichiro Takayanagi had little Katsura Shin in his arms; otherwise, they could have shared a passionate kiss.

"Sister, I've already kissed big brother, and Mom has already kissed him. Do you want to come over and kiss big brother too?"

Katsura Shin didn't stop her mother from kissing Takayanagi Ichiro. Afterwards, she even invited her older sister to kiss Katsura Kotonoha's face, causing Kotonoha to blush instantly.

If she were at home with only herself, her mother, and her two daughters, Katsura Kotonoha would certainly not shy away from such intimate actions.

But with outsiders present, she didn't have the nerve to refuse and could only shake her head.

"Careful, can I join in?"

Seeing that Katsura Kotonoha rejected Katsura Shin's suggestion, Ooki Suzuka asked Katsura Shin with a grin.

While working part-time at this shop, I often heard the name Takayanagi Ichiro mentioned by the mother and her two daughters.

Upon their first meeting, she was immediately captivated by Takayanagi Ichiro, and thus desired to have a more intimate relationship with him.

It's just that we haven't found the right opportunity yet; now we can ask it jokingly.

If it were her own mother or sister asking this question, Gui Xin could answer it on their behalf.

But now the person asking this question is Suzuka Ooki, so Katsura can only shake her head.

"Sister Lingxia, I can't make any decisions for my older brother."

If you want a kiss, you'll have to ask your older brother yourself.

Chapter 354 You shameless woman

When Suzuka Ooki asked Katsura Shin the question, she didn't blush, because she was joking.

But after hearing Katsura's serious answer, Ooki Suzuka's face immediately turned red.

“Mr. Takayanagi, I…”

Suzuka Oki does like Ichiro Takayanagi, but if she said such things and made such a request on their first meeting, it would definitely make Ichiro Takayanagi think she is a frivolous girl.

This was inappropriate behavior, and Ichiro Takayanagi wanted to explain, but he was refused by Takayanagi's bare hands.

"The most important thing now is to go back home and check on your mother's condition."

If it's an emergency, you should take your mother to the hospital for a checkup.

Ichiro Takayanagi didn't elaborate on the kissing part. Instead, he talked about what Suzuka Oki should do at this time, which made Suzuka Oki nod seriously.

At the same time, the little girl Katsura Shin was very sensible and got down from Takayanagi Ichiro's arms.

Because she knew that Takayanagi Ichiro was taking Ooki Suzuka home, and she couldn't go with him, she couldn't delay Takayanagi Ichiro any longer.

"Sis, if you're already ready to leave, then I won't stay here any longer, and I won't go to Lingxia's house with you either."

At this point, Ryuji Oki took his leave, mainly because he sensed that the women in the shop all had a very good impression of Ichiro Takayanagi, and there was a possibility that he might be at risk if he stayed.

At the same time, Ryuji Ōki harbored some resentment towards Ichiro Takayanagi, because he could sense that his niece, Suzuka Ōki, seemed to have also fallen for Ichiro Takayanagi.

However, he could only bury these thoughts and grievances deep in his heart, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on his niece.

As for someone like Takayanagi Ichiro, unless he finds an opportunity to kill him instantly, Oki Ryuji will not easily make a move.

Takayanagi Ichiro and the others did not try to persuade Oki Ryuji to keep his manuscript, and even gave him some warning glances.

If he dares to continue his actions from his first trip here, he will definitely be arrested by the police and sent to prison.

"Ichiro, I'm entrusting Suzuka to you."

At this point, Katsura Manami had completed her instructions. Since she couldn't accompany Ōki Suzuka home, only Takayanagi Ichiro would go with her.

"No matter what happens, I will bring him back."

Katsura Manami's business is quite good, so she definitely needs a part-time or full-time staff member.

Judging from the relationships between the group members, Suzuka Ooki is integrating into the group quite well.
