My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"Xiao Xun, if you keep laughing like this, I'll teach you how to cook so you can help your sister Xiao Lan from now on."

Seeing her daughter behaving this way, Takayanagi Mika felt a little uncomfortable.

She believes that, despite both being high school girls, her daughter is far inferior to Ran Mouri.

After being reprimanded by Takayanagi Mitsuka, Takayanagi Kaoru immediately quieted down, and Mouri Ran also helped to explain at this time.

"Sister Mihua, Xiaoxun has his own way of life."

The reason I have achieved what I have today is mainly because I took care of my father for ten years.

Xiao Xun will definitely learn some simple cooking techniques from me in the future, so there's no need for her to master them all at once.

Ran Mouri's act of protecting Kaoru Takayanagi at this time warmed Kaoru's heart.

"Xiaolan is right. Everyone has their own destiny, and there is no need to force anything."

Since both Ichiro Takayanagi and Ran Mouri have said so, Mitsuka Takayanagi will no longer target her daughter.

After dinner, the task of cleaning up the mess was left to Gao Liuxun, hoping to influence her through these small tasks.

Since Ran Mouri came to this family as a tutor, Kaoru Takayanagi has been exposed to these kinds of small things, so she has no resistance to them.

Meanwhile, Ichiro Takayanagi went up to the second-floor living room with Ran Mouri and Mitsuka Takayanagi to watch TV for a while. After the water got warm, he carried Ran Mouri to take a bath.

Kaoru Takayanagi said that Ran Mouri and Ichiro Takayanagi would sleep together tonight, but it would be more appropriate for them to start by taking a bath together.

Ran Mouri wanted to try Ichiro Takayanagi's techniques first, so she was massaged until she was soft and pliable in the bathroom, and finally he carried her to the room.

Ran Mouri was unaware that someone was hiding inside the closet in the room, and she was about to face a storm of attacks from Ichiro Takayanagi.

Hiding inside the closet, Kaoru Takayanagi was speechless. This was the first time he had ever seen Ran Mouri's fighting prowess so formidable.

Compared to himself, he should be able to take on three, no, five.

Of course, this was also something Ran Mouri requested to be released.

After all, she had made the choice to help her mother, and she still felt a little guilty.

Although this time it didn't allow Takayanagi Ichiro to completely unleash his wild side, it did allow him to experience the perfect charm of the karate club captain.

After Ran Mouri fell asleep, Ichiro Takayanagi simply opened the wardrobe and pulled out Kaoru Takayanagi, who was already blushing.

"Big brother, if I were like Sister Xiaolan, I might die."

Kaoru Takayanagi's body also reacted, but she still begged for mercy.

"It's okay, you're just picking up the rest."

Upon hearing this, Kaoru Takayanagi launched a fierce attack on Ichiro Takayanagi, only to be utterly defeated.

..............

"Mother."

Ran Mouri is having another nightmare.

Moreover, she still remembered the nightmare she had tonight after waking up.

It seems that when the mother and daughter were out for a trip, her mother was shot with a handgun.

She woke up immediately upon seeing her mother collapse.

Ran Mouri opened her eyes and found herself in a bright room. She looked around and realized that this was Ichiro Takayanagi's room.

Then Ran Mouri felt herself resting her head on someone else's arm. Looking to the side, she realized it was Ichiro Takayanagi's arm.

At the same time, Ichiro Takayanagi opened his eyes, or rather, Ichiro Takayanagi had never slept.

"Brother Ichiro, you didn't sleep, did you?"

“You said you’ve been having nightmares for the past few days, which is making me a little worried, so I wanted to see what’s going on.”

Ichiro Takayanagi actually didn't sleep; he just wanted to see her reaction after the nightmare and offer her immediate comfort, which deeply moved Ran Mouri.

"Brother Ichiro, thank you."

After stretching her body, Ran Mouri reached out and hugged Ichiro Takayanagi. She really liked him.

Chapter 378 The Mother-in-Law Will Steal Her Son-in-Law

After hugging Ichiro Takayanagi, Ran Mouri noticed something was off; she felt that she and Ichiro Takayanagi were not in the very center of the bed.

Looking up slightly, she noticed that on the other side of Takayanagi Ichiro lay another high school girl, just like her—Takayanagi Kaoru, who had mentioned wanting to come and observe before dinner.

Ran Mouri wasn't angry, after all, she had already recalled the madness of tonight.

She had indeed enjoyed herself too much, and finally fell into a deep sleep, without letting Takayanagi Ichiro finish releasing himself.

So it's a good thing that student Kaoru Takayanagi has taken over.

And the fact that Kaoru Takayanagi is sleeping so soundly means that she has also been thoroughly satisfied.

"Brother Ichiro, you............"

Ran Mouri looked at Ichiro Takayanagi with some concern. Could it be that even with Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi working together, they couldn't make him release his pent-up energy, which was why he was still awake so late?

Sensing Ran Mouri's gaze, Ichiro Takayanagi immediately understood what she was worried about, and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"It's not what you think. In the end, I've already exploded. Xiao Xun took a big bite."

She was scolded by her mother tonight, so she didn't eat much for dinner.

Fortunately, it was eventually fixed, and we should be happy for her.

Takayanagi Ichiro's words made Mouri Ran laugh uncontrollably, and then she immediately lowered her voice, worried about waking Takayanagi Kaoru.

Kaoru Takayanagi has always loved eating Ichiro Takayanagi's food. If Mitsuka Takayanagi hadn't stopped her, Kaoru might have wanted to eat it every meal.

It was a good result for Kaoru Takayanagi that she was able to catch up at the end of the night and enjoy the delicious food produced by Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Brother Ichiro, I will give Kaoru some guidance on life from now on."

Ran Mouri spoke softly, not wanting to disturb Kaoru Takayanagi.

"You can just give her some pointers; I didn't expect her to make any major changes."

As for her mother, I'll try to explain things to her; it won't be a burden on you.

Takayanagi Ichiro responded very quietly, but the two of them could hear him clearly.

"Now tell me what you dreamed about. We need to resolve this issue, otherwise I'll feel quite distressed."

Takayanagi Ichiro immediately changed the subject, focusing on Mouri Ran.

He also applied a little force with his hand to show how much he felt sorry for Ran Mouri.

Ran Mouri sensed this as well, and felt a warmth in her heart. She then recounted the nightmare she had that night.

After hearing this, Ichiro Takayanagi roughly understood what Ran Mouri had encountered.

"Xiao Lan, it's very likely that something happened to you in the past that left a deep impression on you."

But afterwards you blocked out some of those memories, even though I'm still connected to your mother.

Ichiro Takayanagi certainly knew what Ran Mouri was blocking, but he didn't say it directly.

After hearing Ichiro Takayanagi's reasoning, Ran Mouri really started to think about it seriously.

Unfortunately, the things she blocked were quite serious.

If you don't encounter the relevant scene, you definitely won't remember it.

"Anyway, I'm going to meet your mother tomorrow, so maybe I can find out some things during our conversation."

"If something can solve two problems at the same time, that would be ideal."

Ichiro Takayanagi certainly didn't want Ran Mouri to continue thinking like this, so he offered her a solution.

"Okay, then I can talk to my mom more tomorrow."

After receiving Ichiro Takayanagi's suggestion, Ran Mouri indeed put aside her thoughts and hugged Ichiro Takayanagi even tighter.

"Go to sleep, I will always be by your side."

Takayanagi Ichiro gently patted Ran Mouri's shoulder, helping her fall asleep once again.

"Ah."

................

A romantic French restaurant.

Ran Mouri had invited Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri to eat here before, and quite a few times at that.

The main goal was to use the romantic atmosphere here to get Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri back together, but unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Ran Mouri wouldn't have that thought now.

Because Kogoro Mouri and that brat Shinichi Kudo are together and have crossed moral boundaries, Ran Mouri simply doesn't want to pay any more attention to it.

As for Eri Kisaki, Ran Mouri even made a request to Ichiro Takayanagi, asking him to help her mother make changes.

"The two times we came here before, we met a rather interesting bartender."

I've learned some things about wine and have come to appreciate Western cuisine, but I don't know if he's still working here.

Ichiro Takayanagi and Ran Mouri walked hand in hand into the French romantic restaurant, attracting a lot of attention.

Because the two looked like a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

"That's wonderful! If my daughter found such a handsome boyfriend, I would be so happy I'd faint."

"I bet you're not just going to faint, you're going to personally fight with your daughter for it."

"It would be a shame to give such an outstanding man to my daughter; I should be the one to seize the opportunity."

"Stop looking. No matter how handsome a man is, he belongs to someone else. Besides, there's a woman over there who can outshine you."

"who is it?"

"That's where they walked past."

After being reminded by their companions, some of the women looked toward the spot where Ichiro Takayanagi and Ran Mouri had walked and found a cool and beautiful woman sitting there.
