And now, Ma Xiandong also somewhat agrees with this statement.

"Thank you for coming to greet me, Ayako!" Arima Kento then smiled at Ayako.

Upon hearing these words of gratitude, Ayako immediately looked up in surprise, staring blankly at Arima Kento, as if she could hardly believe what she was seeing.

Having spent more than a month with this older brother, Ya Zi also knows Ma Xiandong's temperament; he values ​​family ties and all kinds of relationships.

I used to treat him like a younger sister, but now I've changed my perspective, while my brother hasn't changed his mind.

Even when it comes to liking a stranger online, Ma Xiandong doesn't support it, or rather, strongly opposes it.

They all say they have symptoms of digital-reality confusion, but I just focus more of my energy on another world.

For me, that world is also real; it's just that I can only exist in that world as a game.

This difference in thinking inevitably leads to conflict.

Ayako is just naturally a bit naive; she's not stupid. If she thinks about things seriously, she can figure them out.

Therefore, it is very likely that the older brother's attitude towards him was as follows: first, he ignored him and was indifferent in every way; on a deeper level, he disliked, loathed, and even insulted him.

At its deepest level, these issues can escalate into domestic violence.

Although she didn't understand it, Ako didn't resent her brother for possibly doing that.

Asuma Kento values ​​family ties, so does she.

Moreover, her brother was her favorite Lucien.

But now my brother is treating me kindly and hasn't done anything unusual. Could it be that he likes me now?

Thinking of it, Yako raised her head and looked at Arima Kento, saying, "Brother, do you still like Yako?"

Arima Kenji was changing his shoes when he heard Ayako's words. He froze for a moment, but quickly recovered. After putting on his slippers, Arima Kenji stepped onto the floor and walked up to Ayako.

Reaching out his hands and placing them on Ayako's shoulders, looking at her slightly nervous face, Arima Kento said, "Of course I like it."

Before Ayako could rejoice, Arima Kento continued, "However, it's not romantic love, but simply a brother's affection for his sister. So, I hope you, Ayako, can also clearly understand your own feelings and ask yourself what kind of love it really is."

After saying that, Arima Kento looked at Ayako's little face.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I look at her suddenly, Ayako actually has a bit of a baby face.

However, this also adds to Ako's beauty, making her even more captivating.

However, even if he is tempted, Arima Kento doesn't want to take any action right now.

Because Ayako is his younger sister.

Yako couldn't give an immediate answer; her face was filled with conflict. Her eyes darted around intensely, clearly indicating that she was also experiencing a great deal of turmoil.

"Alright, Xiandong! Let Yazi think about it by herself! You come and eat first. Everyone else has already eaten, it's just you and Heitan left."

Risa Taneda had been eavesdropping from the corner of the corridor. How could she possibly be completely at ease when it concerned her precious children?

In fact, although Risa Taneda said she didn't want to search for who Lucian was, her actions betrayed her words, and she ordered her men to secretly look for clues.

My subordinates are working very hard, and the progress is quite good. At the latest, we should know who Lucian is by the end of May.

But tonight, my husband suddenly called me over and said that the person Yazi liked online was actually Arima Kento.

At the time, Risa Taneda was completely bewildered. But after learning what had happened, and with some clues she had previously uncovered, she finally became certain.

It turns out that Arima Kento is actually Lucien, the person his daughter has always liked, the person he was so worried about who was a bad guy, who was actually Arima Kento whom he had already regarded as family.

Although shocked, Risa Taneda began to consider the pros and cons of the matter.

How could a woman who could support her entire family for so many years after her husband's death be a naive and innocent person?

In this world, the thing Risa Taneda can't let go of the most is her daughter, Ayako. She herself isn't naive or innocent, but Ayako is!

Furthermore, due to my neglect, Ayako developed that strange illness.

Risa Taneda is very worried about how Ako will live if she is gone.

Risa Taneda thought about it for a long time, and the best solution was to find a reliable person for Ako to be her husband.

If you can't take care of Ayako yourself, then just find someone else to take care of her, right?

From that time on, Risa Taneda began looking for a suitable person among people around Ako's age.

Because they are not related by blood, Arima Kento and Arima Kousei are both within this range.

It was not easy to find someone before, but now, considering all the circumstances, Arima Kento is the most suitable candidate.

Although Kousei treated Ako very well, he was already with his childhood friend, so she wasn't the best choice.

P.S.: This chapter contains 2210 words; the following paragraphs are less than 200 and are not included in the credit.

My subscriptions have just surpassed fifty, and I'm updating with seven thousand words every day... Some people in the author group say I'm foolish, and all I can reply to them is that I have a lot of free time, so I'll write as much as I can...

I really hope to visit Qidian.com; this subscription situation is utterly disheartening...

Chapter 187 Risa Arima's Thoughts (Please subscribe and support...)

Arima Kenjiro's looks are undeniable, his personality is also appreciated by Risa Taneda, and his feelings for Ako are quite good.

Most importantly, although Arima Sen-dong also has a girlfriend, she is not by his side for a long time.

Moreover, the girl is undergoing treatment for a terminal illness, and all the medical expenses are covered by the Arima clan.

A dark thought crossed my mind: what if that girl's terminal illness hadn't been cured...?

Even without this conjecture, the girl named Kaori Miyazono would ultimately have been unable to stop the relationship between Arima Kenjiro and Ayako.

She is a smart girl; she knows what she can and cannot do.

Therefore, for her own happiness and the happiness of her family, she shouldn't make an irrational choice.

Besides, this world inherently allows polygamy to exist.

To others, the kind of persistence that Arima Kento has shown is foolish and naive.

However, that kind of persistence is very reassuring.

These are all advantages that Risa Taneda had in choosing Kenji Arima as her husband.

Of course, now we need to add one more crucial condition.

That is, Ako really, really likes Arima Kento, or rather, Lucien.

Therefore, Risa Taneda does not reject Ako's desire to marry Kenji Arima at all.

On the contrary, she was far more supportive than her husband, Arima Shiki.

When she came to her home this time, Risa Taneda did not intend to let Arima Kento accept Ako immediately.

Judging from the current situation, this is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

Her purpose this time was to relieve Ayako and Arima Kento of any psychological burden and to make them worry about nothing.

Whatever decision they ultimately make, we adults will support them!

Of course, it would be the best outcome if Xian Dong could marry Ya Zi.

Actually, there is another outcome that Risa Taneda could also accept.

That means Ayako and Arima Kento will get along just like before, and Ayako will still be the younger sister that Kento and Kousei both love equally.

It's not just her husband who can take good care of Ayako.

Her family can do it too, as long as they're willing. Judging from the current situation, Xian Dong and Gong Sheng are absolutely capable of shouldering this responsibility.

Upon arriving at this house, Risa Taneda also felt the presence of her deceased older sister, as she actually held Arima Saki in high esteem.

It is not easy for a mother to reach this level of understanding with her partner.

Now that I have taken over the responsibilities of being a mother, I will do my best to help her take good care of the two children.

Sawabe Tsubaki has gone home to Taneda Risa, no, she should now be called 'Arima Risa'.

Arima Risa personally cooked a large table of delicious food.

If Ayako's cooking skills are out of 100, then Arisa's cooking skills are out of 118, plus a perfect score of 666.

Before Arima Kento even returned home, Kousei was already starving.

After receiving Arima Risa's permission, he immediately began to feast.

As for Ako, she was originally going to wait for Arima Kento, but she saw Kousei eating very heartily.

She couldn't resist and started eating along with them.

This scene made Arima Risa the happiest.

The children couldn't wait for the food I cooked, and they thought it was the most delicious meal.

This was something that could never be repaid with more gratitude, something that brought her such joy.

Although Kousei and Ayako had already started eating, Arima Risa still saved a portion for Arima Kento.

If you leave a little bit of each dish, it will add up to a considerable amount in the end.

After tidying up a bit, Arima Risa noticed that Ako was acting strangely.

After finishing her meal, she quietly entered Arima Kento's room and closed the door.

Out of curiosity, Arima Risa asked Arima Kousei for the key and opened Arima Kento's door to take a look.

Arima Risa got angry at just one glance.

Ayako was dressed in a rather revealing maid outfit, sitting on Arima Kento's bed in a duck-like position.

When she saw the door open, she looked over with a surprised expression, naively thinking that Ma Xiandong had returned.

Ako is only fourteen years old, and Arima Kenji is also only fourteen years old. Although their secondary developmental characteristics are already functioning normally, it is still too early.

"Yako, are you trying to seduce Xian Dong? Come out and change into normal clothes!"

On this point, Arima Risa will not back down at all.

Yako was powerless to resist and had no choice but to obey.

Actually, she didn't intend to seduce Arima Kento. It was just that Arima Kento had been thinking about maid cafes while they were shopping today, so Ako wanted to wear a maid outfit for him.

Knowing her daughter's true purpose, Arima Risa breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't have that kind of thought.
