The package has assigned me way too many objects.

Is there a problem with that? Not at all. Chu Yinan didn't believe the female demon could change her mind in half a month, because she herself was a perfectly mature woman.

“I disagree. Xiao Chunan finally got a holiday, how can he not have the love and care of his elders! My heart aches for my little darling, I absolutely cannot allow him to be asked to learn this and that even on his holiday. As long as he is a good child, that’s enough. He can stay under my protection for the rest of his life and never have to go anywhere.”

"You're not dating other girls anymore?" Minagawa Izumi said coldly.

When Yan Liu arrived at the main hall, she had tried to remain calm, but thinking about Xiao Chunan, she couldn't help but become emotional again.

"Why should we date? Xiao Chu Nan comes from a special background. Any woman outside will definitely deceive and take advantage of him. Only I truly want to protect Xiao Chu Nan. Look how lovable I've raised him. He hasn't been tainted by those mercenary and slick people. Growing up only means compromise and withering, falling into mediocrity and gloom. My darling only needs to be loved in my arms forever!"

Seeing that she was getting a little excited, Chu Yinan quickly sat down and hugged her.

Aunt Liu's possessiveness towards him was indeed quite strong, but Chu Yinan was also reflecting on it, which might be related to the stimulation he had caused her by running away from home several times. He still remembered that when Aunt Liu slept with him and Yu Tang, she joked that if he ever got a girlfriend or took a concubine, and if Aunt Liu wanted to sleep with him at night, even if it was his wedding night, he would have to run back to her place to report.

At the time, there was some element of joking in those words, but if that joke were repeated now, Aunt Liu would only refuse. It's not that she doesn't want her son to come into her arms, but rather that she won't even allow him to date a girlfriend.

This transformation is related to the stimulation he received due to his immaturity.

"Aunt Liu, there's no need to get so agitated..."

Yan Liu hugged him tightly, making it clear that Minagawa Izumi wouldn't be able to take him away tonight.

Morgan spoke up to ease the tension, preventing Minagawa Izumi from responding immediately. Otherwise, the two women might have actually started arguing over the baby. Unfortunately, she had already agreed to say a few words to Yan Liu while taking a shower.

Well, because of the nepotism brought by Heinrich, Xiao Chunan is now her nephew, so she has a lot of say in this matter.

"Let me say a few words. I also disagree with Xiao Chunan leaving during the winter break. How can I explain it? He is our family's little darling. He rarely has the chance to go back to Rongguang Island. It takes him several hours to get there and back, and he rarely has the chance to stay overnight. It's only during the winter break that he has to leave my place for half a month. I can't accept that."

Minagawa Izumi looked at Morgan and thought to herself that this woman was indeed here to cause trouble.

Morgan, seemingly oblivious to Izumi Minagawa's unfriendly gaze, continued:

"But I also understand Quan's eagerness to teach Xiao Chunan. Actually, I have no intention of asking what friction you have with Yan Liu or what aspect of Xiao Chunan's education you are dissatisfied with. Those things don't matter. It's hard to have the same ideas. We can only try our best to coordinate."

So I was thinking, why can't Quan stay with me for half a month? What you want is to educate Xiao Chunan, while what Yan Liu and we want is just the cuteness of the little baby jumping around during the holidays. There's no conflict between them, right?

...Or is there some hidden reason I'm unaware of that, requiring Quan to specifically take Xiao Chunan away?

Now Minagawa Izumi is in a difficult position. He can't just say that the distance between Yan Liu and Xiao Chunan is too negative, can he?

She was too embarrassed to ask, even though Minagawa Izumi herself was too ashamed to say it out loud.

Now that Morgan is using grand principles to retain him, it will be difficult for Minagawa Izumi to take Xiao Chu Nan away without making things clear.

However... if she also stayed at Lefie Manor, it would be a way to prevent Xiao Chunan and Yan Liu from having prolonged private contact.

“Sure, but I have conditions.” Minagawa Izumi looked at Morgan seriously, not jokingly.

"Of course, if you want your room to be more comfortable, I can have Heinrich call those little machines to help decorate it to your liking. These are minor issues; your comfort is the most important thing."

“That’s not what I meant.” Minagawa Izumi sighed, realizing that Morgan had really gotten her into this mess. “It’s just some details about how you’ll get along, some things you need to work together on while I’m teaching Xiao Chu Nan. I’ll tell you about them later.”

"As long as it doesn't affect our closeness with Xiao Chunan, then welcome Quan to stay at Lefebvre Manor again. I've already had a room prepared."

Chapter 15 Mutual Approach

The rules were quickly finalized. Chu Yinan thought it would take a while, but when he took a shower and came back, he heard that his two aunts had agreed on their respective rules as if they were negotiating a contract.

First, there are the requirements from Minagawa Izumi's side: Xiao Chu Nan should spend more time with her sisters, spend most of her time with people of similar age, and be accompanied by them when going out. She should inform Darlena or her before going out, and sleep with her sisters at night, not alone.

Chu Yinan interpreted these requirements and found that they mainly consisted of two aspects: spending more time with the older and younger sisters, and not spending too much time alone with Yan Liu.

Although Yan Liu wasn't mentioned at all in the request, it was all aimed at her, preventing her from having long periods of alone time with Chu Yinan.

With no opportunity to be alone, there was naturally no suitable chance to develop a close friendship like that of Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya. Even though Chu Yinan was good at making friends, he did not become close to Aunt Liu.

Surprisingly, Yan Liu actually agreed. Chu Yinan didn't think that Aunt Liu couldn't understand the female demon's meaning; it's just that Aunt Liu's response was the same: demanding one demand in return.

Aunt Liu's requirements were that Minagawa Izumi could not interfere with Chu Yinan's normal activities after he came of age. Since she had chosen to stay and be Chu Yinan's holiday tutor, she had to wear the clothes a teacher should wear, accompany Chu Yinan around the clock as much as possible, not neglect her duties, and not change her mind halfway through. If she wanted to end the tutoring period, she would have to wait until it was over.

To be honest, Chu Yinan didn't understand Aunt Liu's move; it was a bit...unconventional!

The female demon was clearly targeting her, but Aunt Liu did the opposite. Not only did she take over everything, she also elevated the female demon's status and gave her more authority. Terrifying requests like "accompanying Xiao Chu Nan around the clock as much as possible" even appeared.

While it's certainly something to look forward to seeing a female demon in a teacher's outfit, Chu Yinan is genuinely worried that for the next two weeks, every time he urinates in the bathroom, the female demon will come in and help him...

"I can't figure out what Aunt Liu is trying to do," Chu Yinan muttered to himself as he sat on the toilet, cherishing his brief moment of solitude.

For the next two weeks, his personal freedom will be severely violated. Not only will he be unable to sleep and shower, but he may also be unable to guarantee his privacy and dignity when using the toilet.

--------

On Yan Liu's side, she returned to the bedroom, pulled Heinrich out of bed, and rescued the white-haired little maid from her arms.

Jun has been hugged by Heinrich for several hours now, and it's almost 10 p.m. Heinrich is still asleep. Jun has thought about secretly lifting her mistress's arm and running out of bed to embrace freedom, but she doesn't dare to move, worried that running out would be disobeying her mistress's orders.

Now that Yan Liu has rescued her, she lowers her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed, like a kitten caught in the act of adultery, not daring to look Yan Liu in the eye.

"Madam... I... I'll go pack now. Is there anything else you need?" Chun was already ready to run away, waiting for Yan Liu's reply.

"Yes, please sit down here first."

"Okay." Chun's heart pounded, and she became inexplicably nervous, with a strange premonition that she was about to be lectured.

"I have something very important to ask you to do, but I need to confirm something with you first."

"What is it? If I knew, I would tell you..." Chun replied softly, holding her breath.

"Did Heinrich keep you as his personal maid so you could take care of Xiao Chunan?"

She nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her hair trembling and flying wildly.

"Have you ever been intimate with Xiao Chunan?" Yan Liu asked expressionlessly.

The young maid looked at her mistress's face, unable to discern her attitude. Her face was pale and stern. In her daily work, she could sense the mistress's controlling nature towards Xiao Chunan, so even with Heinrich's tacit approval, she dared not reveal her intimacy with Xiao Chunan too openly.

They mostly played together in private, but sometimes Xiao Chunan would go to her room to find her.

Chun ultimately decided to be honest, while silently praying that Madam Yanliu wouldn't ask about details like the tail.

"...Yes, there are."

Unexpectedly, Yan Liu didn't blame her at all; instead, she said:

"Now it's your turn to do things for me. You just keep playing and being affectionate with Xiao Chunan, preferably in front of Minagawa Izumi. Even if she tries to stop you, don't listen to her orders, understand?"

Before Yan Liu even spoke, Chun had already hunched her shoulders and shrugged, bracing herself for a scolding. Who would have thought it would be this kind of instruction!

He's being intimate with Kochino in front of Minagawa-san?!

"I...I still don't quite understand..."

"You can be just as affectionate with Xiao Chunan as you were with Minagawa Izumi. But she might have Marissa, Delia, or Dalena stop you. Don't worry about it. If you're really in a difficult situation, just say that Heinrich ordered it."

"I'll try my best..." This was the strangest command Jun had ever heard since she started working as a maid.

Yan Liu continued, "Also, if you see Marissa holding onto Xiao Chu Nan, then take the initiative, go and snatch Xiao Chu Nan away. If Marissa is unhappy, then tell her to come to me, understand?"

Chun was completely confused, but after giving up thinking, she felt much more relaxed: "Hmm, when do we start?"

"Let's do it tomorrow. You've been bundled up all day, so get some rest."

Meanwhile, Minagawa Izumi on the other side also had her own plans.

She couldn't quite figure out Yan Liu's thoughts, and didn't understand what she planned to do.

Did they want to embarrass her by making her wear a female teacher's clothes all day?

This didn't really affect Minagawa Izumi much. Her clothing style was simple, but that didn't mean she resisted wearing other clothes; it was just that she was used to wearing the same clothes for so many years.

Similarly, she also summoned her capable female assistant, Marissa, to the room.

"Marisa, I'll need your help with some things tomorrow."

"what's up?"

"It's nothing special, just spend more time chatting and playing with Xiao Chunan. If Yan Liu goes to see Xiao Chunan, you should stay with her even more. If she tries to send you away, just let me know, okay?"

Marissa was unaware of the relationship between Izumi Minagawa and Ienryu. Although she was curious as to why Aunt Izumi would suddenly bring this up, she agreed.

"Okay, then spend more time playing with Xiao Chunan."

"Oh, right, who did Xiao Chunan sleep with tonight? Was he alone or with Yan Liu?" Minagawa Izumi suddenly remembered this.

She worried that after the two-week agreement was established, Yan Liu would take advantage of tonight to go to Xiao Chunan's room and pre-pay for the next two weeks' worth of food. Wouldn't Xiao Chunan be drained dry by this woman?

"It seems that Xiao Chunan sleeps with Sister Yutang."

We also need to be wary of Yu Tang, but it's all fairly normal. After all, she's just the host's older sister, practically no different from the girl next door, and not much older than Xiao Chunan. So, we can accept it for now...

Her words are better than Yan Liu's. If she could win over Yu Tang, that would be a good thing, as it would save her from making so many enemies.

"Let's leave that for now, Marissa, go back to sleep. You'll have to work hard tomorrow!"

Chapter 16 This isn't a betrayal of Marissa

The next morning, Chu Yinan woke up with a strange physical sensation in the early morning. He glanced at the sky outside the window and found that it was dark and there was no sign of dawn.

It's probably around 5 o'clock, but it could also be 6 o'clock. It's winter, so it's inevitable that it gets light later. The weather forecast says it will snow in the next couple of days.

"Yutang, stop bothering me, I need to go back to sleep..." Chu Yinan said weakly, ready to drift off to sleep at any moment.

Marissa and Chun's voices came from the sides of Chu Yinan's head.

"Sister Yutang isn't in Xiao Chunan's room."

"Hmm, why is Xiao Chunan sleeping in his own room? Doesn't he sleep with Sister Yutang?"

"Hey, Marissa, when did you get here?"

"I was going to ask you something else, Chun, what are you doing in Xiao Chunan's room?"

Chu Yinan's sleepiness vanished instantly; he suddenly opened his eyes and became fully awake.

Yes, I drank a bit too much water before bed last night, and I woke up in the middle of the night to pee. Then, before I could process what was happening, I went back to my room to sleep.

Why are the two of you in my room?

Chun was actually a little light sleeper because of Yan Liu's words. She kept thinking about it while sleeping, so she woke up early in the middle of the night and came to check on Xiao Chunan's room before coming in.

But she also had a valid reason, and she stated it with confidence:

"It snowed a little in the middle of the night, and the sound of the snow hitting the window woke me up. Then I got up to get a drink of water and found that Xiao Chunan's door was not closed, so I came in to check. Then I was a little cold, so I found a blanket... Marissa, the door was closed when I came in. When did you come in?"

"I... I came here because I'm more used to the bed here, and I thought I'd sleep more soundly. Then I found out that Xiao Chunan was here too."
