It's really uncomfortable!
However, the punishment of standing in the corner didn't last long. After Minagawa Izumi and Marisa finished washing up, they let him wash up on his own and then took him downstairs to have breakfast.
Chu Yinan's group ate early, and Aunt Liu and the others finished washing up and came downstairs just as they were almost finished eating.
"Xiao Chu Nan, have you finished eating?" Yan Liu looked at the empty bowls and plates in front of the little boy in surprise.
"Mmm, I got up pretty early." Chu Yinan didn't go out for a stroll first, but stayed in the dining room to accompany her during breakfast.
Bei Yutang drank a few mouthfuls of warm porridge and asked:
"Little Chunan, where did you go last night? Why is no one in your room when it's bedtime?"
This is a sensitive topic.
Having just finished his meal, Chu Yinan felt ashamed. He took a sip of water, his heart filled with unease and a sense of heaviness.
"They just wandered around the house for a bit, and then went to the monster's room. Marissa was there too."
Yan Liu, who was originally focused on breakfast, felt uneasy after hearing this answer. She had spent half the night chatting with Morgan and Heinrich in bed and hadn't called Xiao Chunan over to serve her. The conversation was unrestrained, and they talked about whatever came to mind, which is why she got up a little late this morning.
Now I suddenly heard that Xiao Chunan went to Minagawa Izumi's room to spend the night?
Yan Liu still kept in mind the incident last night when Minagawa Izumi provoked her with her beautiful feet. This was tantamount to Minagawa Izumi's declaration of war, emphasizing that Xiao Chunan was more on her side. This was an intolerable evil for Yan Liu.
"Little Chu Nan, come sit with Aunt Liu." Yan Liu moved her chair back to make room for the little boy.
"No, you stay seated and don't disturb your Aunt Liu's breakfast." Minagawa Izumi rarely showed such a firm attitude.
This woman will only corrupt her child.
Heinrich had just begun his meal, his fork barely piercing the runny yolk of a fried egg, when his attention was quickly drawn to the gunpowder-like smell emanating from the table.
It's a pity... drinking alcohol in the morning is bad for the body and for the brain's condition throughout the day, otherwise she would like to pour herself a glass right now.
Heinrich instructed the maid waiting behind him, "Bring me a cup of black tea."
Morgan echoed, "I'd also like a cup of black tea, with a little sugar."
She consumes a little sugar at breakfast to prevent anemia, and she controls her intake at other times, as excess sugar only affects skin quality.
Yan Liu frowned. She could tell that this woman really did have ulterior motives towards her precious son!
From the moment we met last night, Minagawa Izumi has been intentionally or unintentionally—no, quite obviously—stirring things up.
Considering that Xiao Chunan had run away from home twice before and went to this woman's place, the situation seemed quite delicate, and it was likely that she was bewitching Xiao Chunan.
Yan Liu found it strange. How could such a well-behaved and obedient child like Xiao Chunan possibly have any suspicions or estrangement with her? This woman, Minagawa Izumi, must be the one causing all this trouble!
"It's not bothering you. Little Chu Nan usually eats breakfast sitting on my lap. Please don't teach him those twisted principles that would affect family harmony, okay?" The beautiful woman glanced at Minagawa Izumi with displeasure, then gave the little brat a gentle look.
Although her tone was gentle, Chu Yinan clearly sensed an urging in her voice, a desire for him to quickly come into her arms.
Chu Yinan nervously took a sip of water, the process of swallowing it feeling extremely difficult. Why did he have to encounter such a thing so early in the morning!
He was filled with regret. He should have slipped out for a stroll immediately after finishing his meal; he shouldn't have lingered there.
But this is something you can't completely prevent. Everyone should be in a good mood right after waking up in the morning, right? How come they start fighting without even saying a word...?
Minagawa Izumi remained silent this time, as it would seem inappropriate for her to speak further. However, this dignified and beautiful woman also stared at Xiao Chu Nan with a serious gaze.
The invisible pressure made him feel a little suffocated, and he had no choice but to pick up his cup to drink water again—well, the water was gone.
Bei Yutang suddenly stood up, picked up Xiao Chunan, and directly intercepted him. She said to her mother:
"Last time you were the one who carried me, this time it's my turn to carry Xiao Chunan while he eats, don't try to take it from me."
Chapter 100 Please let me go.
Sure enough, after all that back and forth, it was still the older sister's lap that was the most comfortable and reassuring to sit on.
Bei Yutang snatched the baby from the two aunts, which can be described as snatching food from a tiger's mouth. However, this was equivalent to saving him. Otherwise, Chu Yinan really didn't know what to do or what to do if things continued like this.
He was on the verge of a breakdown.
Minagawa Izumi and Enryu had no objection to this result; it was a result that both of them could barely accept.
All Minagawa Izumi needs is to see that Xiao Chu Nan is no longer in Yan Liu's arms.
Yan Liu felt that it was acceptable for Xiao Chunan not to stay where she had asked, since her daughter was family.
Marissa, who had also finished breakfast early, was a little lost. This atmosphere was a bit stressful for her. If there was another breakfast in front of her right now, she could just eat it quietly and pretend to be invisible.
Morgan and Heinrich exchanged a glance, both seeing deep regret in each other's eyes; both were the kind of people who loved to watch the drama unfold.
The maid had just served me a sip of the black tea, and it was already over?
Hey!
Chu Yinan sat in his sister's lap. When his sister lowered her head to eat porridge, his head would be pushed forward by her large breasts. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, he had long been used to it. Occasionally, his sister would even feed him two spoonfuls of porridge.
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Chu Yinan asked, "Are there any sightseeing plans for the day?"
Morgan wiped his mouth with a napkin, took a sip of his black tea, and replied:
"Heinrich originally wanted to go fishing by the lake, but I turned him down. It's too boring. Do you guys have any plans?"
Morgan originally invited the Heinrich family over for dinner on the weekend just to meet them and have the newly arrived lamb ingredients roasted into a whole roasted lamb to share. There were no other plans.
Since most people use their weekends to relax, if her employer schedules her days off too full, it will be too much of a burden.
However, Izumi Minagawa's arrival was unplanned, and Heinrich only informed her much later. Of course, the arrival of this distinguished guest certainly added a lot of fun.
Everyone shook their heads, which was only natural.
Morgan continued, "Since there isn't one, how about we rest today and make arrangements tomorrow?"
It would be awkward if no one spoke up at this moment. Yan Liu and Minagawa Izumi had just finished their sharp exchange and were not in the mood to respond, so Heinrich took over the conversation.
"Then let's all rest at the manor today."
But Heinrich was clearly good at stirring things up; she added:
"Where are you going to play later, Xiao Chunan? Are you going with Aunt Liu or something?"
Chu Yinan, who had just felt at ease on his sister's lap, suddenly froze. He looked at Heinrich with grief and indignation, realizing that this guy was deliberately stirring up trouble!
As soon as Heinrich finished speaking, two sharp gazes immediately focused on him. The owners of those gazes were naturally Izumi Minagawa and Ienryu.
“Xiao Chunan? If you don’t have any plans, come for a walk with me in the neighborhood later.” Yan Liu said first. “Although it’s a day off, it’s not good to stay indoors all day. You need to move around. It only takes a day to become lazy. Don’t be a child who stays in one place all day.”
These words are a veiled reference to the reclusive Minagawa Izumi. Moreover, Enryu's words are somewhat impeccable. Taking a walk is a healthy activity, and Minagawa Izumi can't possibly cause trouble to stop it, can she?
If she were to actually say something like "You're not allowed to go for a walk," it would be tantamount to exposing her weakness to Yan Liu.
Chu Yinan decided to take the initiative this time. He couldn't always be so passive. Now was the time to arrange his own activities. As long as he made his own arrangements, things would be much easier.
"Well, I'd like to visit Professor Bachmann's house today. I've never seen what her estate looks like before."
Minagawa Izumi, who was about to speak, withdrew her intention to speak.
Heinrich's hopes were dashed, but she wasn't too disappointed. She made the decision: "Then you should contact her first to see if she's home. Also, Marissa is here, so don't stay too long."
Marissa has no connection with the Bachmann family. The only person Chu Yinan knows is the Bachmann school doctor. If Marissa is brought along, she will be unfamiliar with the place and will only be able to stand there blankly, which is equivalent to being imprisoned.
This reminder was also a warning to Xiao Chunan not to stay too long, or rather, even if he went to Bachman's house, he couldn't hide for long; he would have to come back in an hour or two at most.
Although Marisa knows Delia, Dalena, and Chun here, they also have to help her with chores. Since Chu Yinan isn't here, the girl can only sit in her room in a daze or follow Delia and the others.
In just a few words, Chu Yinan gave up his plan to seek refuge at Professor Bachmann's house, and he gave his female father a resentful look.
Are all fathers this inhuman? What a wicked heart!
It's obvious she's trying to put him in a terrible situation. It feels like bringing Marissa along was also part of her scheme.
Chu Yinan adjusted his approach, settling for second best, and said earnestly:
"Let's go to Professor Bachmann's house after that. Final exams are coming up soon, and I'd like to study with Marissa in my room this morning. Can I go for a walk with Aunt Liu around 10 o'clock?"
"Of course, no problem. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Aunt Liu. I had excellent grades when I was in school!" Yan Liu hummed softly and glanced at Minagawa Izumi.
“Then invite me too, I should spend some time with Xiao Chunan and Marisa,” Minagawa Izumi said.
This is also a confrontation. Minagawa Izumi suspects that Yan Liu, this shameless woman, wants to take advantage of Xiao Chunan during the walk, and now she has suggested going to bed and even dragged Marisa into it.
If Yan Liu refuses, it would be tantamount to refusing Marissa as well. Moreover, Yan Liu would not say something as low as "who can come along and who can't," as that would truly be considered unreasonable.
"Suit yourself, but don't dawdle and make us wait," Yan Liu replied.
wonderful!
Morgan and Heinrich exchanged flirtatious glances, but it was a flirtatious exchange that made breakfast taste even better.
Chu Yinan breathed a sigh of relief. Even eating breakfast was so terrifying. He was bearing pressure that he shouldn't have to bear at his age!
Furthermore, a careful reading of the dialogue between Aunt Liu and the female monster reveals meticulous attention to detail throughout; indeed, these aunties are not to be trifled with...
And this is only in the morning; there's still a day and a half left this weekend.
This weekend feels longer than ever before!
No, I need to take control of the afternoon's arrangements as well, otherwise things will get really tough later on, especially with Heinrich constantly trying to sow discord.
Maybe we should seek refuge with the maids this afternoon.
Chapter 101 Marissa's Anse Waist Drum
After breakfast, Chu Yinan immediately pulled Marissa back to their room to escape the troubles outside.
Of course, textbooks are out of the question; all the reviewing relies on the AI assistants bringing over a couple of books to pretend to study.
Chu Yinan wasn't particularly focused on her review; after about half an hour of reading, she started to lose focus.
"What are you thinking about, Xiao Chunan? I've noticed you've been distracted for quite a while." Marissa poured him a glass of water and sat down again on the small couch.
There was no desk in the room, not big enough for two people to sit on. Fortunately, there was a small tea table near the window. After removing the tea utensils, there was just enough room for two people to study, and they could occasionally look at the manor scenery outside the window.
"It's nothing, I'm just very confused, and I feel pressured." Chu Yinan took a sip of water to moisten his throat, feeling a sense of neurasthenia as he recalled his experiences from last night to today.
Marissa could understand Xiao Chunan's tragic situation and sympathized with him:
"I also sensed that Aunt Liu and Aunt Quan seem to be having some kind of conflict. Could there be a misunderstanding? Their relationship seems to be very bad."
It's terrible, but there's a strange respect between them, and they haven't completely broken off relations. Logically speaking, with the relationship so bad, it would be hard to remain calm, right?
