"Shiho...?"
Kirara Huihara's voice trembled slightly, her eyes gradually became moist, and she murmured in disbelief, "Shiho, is it really you?"
Haibara Ai also stood there in a daze, her eyes full of shock and uncertainty.
She spoke softly, her voice filled with pain and hope: "Sister...is it really you?"
Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The next second, Haibara Kirara suddenly broke free from Maori's arms, rushed to Haibara Ai, and tears burst out of her eyes.
Huiyuan Ai also couldn't control her emotions, tears welled up in her eyes. They opened their arms almost at the same time and hugged each other tightly.
"Shiho! It's really you...my Shiho!"
Kirara Haihara burst into tears, and the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for many years finally burst out.
"Sister...are you really still alive...I...I thought you were already...I..."
Haibara Ai was crying uncontrollably, her voice was choked and her words were unclear.
The two sisters hugged each other tightly, letting their tears wet each other's shoulders. All the pain and longing were vented at this moment.
The happiness and sadness of reuniting after a long separation were intertwined, making both of them unable to stop crying.
Maori stood silently by, watching this touching scene, and smiled with relief.
He stepped forward, patted their shoulders gently, and said softly, "Okay, Mingmei, Shiho. You two sisters have reunited. Let's go back to the store and talk about it. Otherwise, standing outside will attract too much attention."
Only then did Haibara Kirara and Haibara Ai realize that they were still standing outside the flower shop.
Mao Li smiled and pushed their shoulders, urging them, "Come in, I'll guard the door."
The two sisters nodded, wiped the tears from their faces, and managed to regain some composure.
They walked into the flower shop, and Mao Li followed closely behind them, gently closing the door of the flower shop.
……
In the cubicle of the flower shop, Kirara Huihara and Ai Huihara sat quietly together.
The excitement of the reunion gradually subsided, and Huihara Ai finally couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what's going on? Haven't you been...organized..."
Her voice was choked up.
Kirara Huihara gently held Ai Huihara's hand, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Actually, Shiho, I am not dead. It was Kogoro who saved me. He taught me the art of disguise, helped me change my identity, and let me live a new life under the name of 'Kirara Huihara'."
She looked at Mori who was standing beside her, her eyes full of deep love, "So, Shiho, if it weren't for him, I would have died long ago... I am alive today, thanks to Kogoro."
Maori leaned against the wall, smoking casually, as if he didn't want to interrupt the conversation between the two sisters. He just watched over them quietly.
Haibara Ai followed her sister's gaze and couldn't help but smile with gratitude.
Her voice softened a lot: "I really didn't expect... Uncle Maoli is such a powerful person."
Kirara Huihara nodded and said tenderly, "He not only saved me, but also gave me a chance to start over. I live a peaceful and happy life here. Shiho, I believe that you will be like me, get rid of the shadow of the past and start a new life."
When Haibara Ai heard this, her gaze fell on Maori again, her heart filled with complicated emotions.
She nodded gently and whispered, "In fact, after I escaped, he not only saved me, but also took me in when I was most desperate. Now I can be considered as being adopted by him. He... is a very reliable person."
Hearing what Haibara Ai said, Haibara Kirara's eyes became even gentler and she looked at Maori with emotion.
She whispered, "Shiho, our fate has really changed because of him. I don't know how to repay him..."
Mao Li was still smoking calmly, listening to the two sisters' words of gratitude. He just smiled slightly and didn't say much.
Huiyuan Ai raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Maori who was still leaning against the wall smoking, then leaned over to Huiyuan Kirara's ear and whispered, "Sister, what is your relationship with Uncle Maori? I heard that he is actually quite a playboy and seems to have many women... Do you know this?"
Chapter 195: Who doesn’t like little Loli?
Hearing Xiao Ai's question, Huihara Kirara smiled slightly, her eyes still gentle, and she replied in a low voice: "Of course I know."
There was a hint of indifference in her tone, but more of it was calmness and relief.
"Kogoro saved my life. Not only my life, but also the peaceful life that will follow."
"He taught me how to disguise myself, gave me a new identity, and helped me escape the darkness and danger of my past. Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today."
Kirara Huihara paused and sighed softly, "So, no matter how many women he has, I don't care. Being his lover... just a lover, what does that mean? Compared to his redemption of me, what I can repay is far from enough."
As Haibara Ai listened to her sister's words, complex emotions surged in her heart.
She could understand her sister's choice. Mao Li was indeed a special person. He not only saved them from that terrible organization, but also gave them a new life.
Without him, they might never have escaped the organization's control.
"I understand, sister..."
Huiyuan Ai whispered, with a touch of emotion in her tone, "If there is someone who can pull us out of such an abyss and give us a stable life, perhaps you are right. Catching him is the wisest choice."
Kirara Huihara smiled and gently stroked Huihara Ai's hand, saying softly: "Shiho, we are no longer the same as before. Now, we just need to grasp the peaceful life that Maori brings us and don't have to go back to those dirty places. As long as he is here, our future will be bright."
Huibara Ai nodded, and her heart gradually calmed down.
She looked at Mao Li again. The seemingly nonchalant man was actually the savior in both of their lives.
They all knew that this man was their only light, and if that was the case, they would hold on to this light tightly and never let it slip away.
After the two girls were silent for a while, Kirara Huiyuan suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, Shiho, just now I wanted to ask you, why did you become a child?"
She touched Huibara Ai's cheek with a smile, "You know what, you were really cute when you were little."
Huihara Ai smiled bitterly and explained slowly: "It's because I took APTX-4869. This drug was originally a poison used in experiments, but the unexpected effect made me return to my childhood state... Now I can only live like this."
"So that's it..."
After hearing this, Kirara Huihara looked at her distressedly and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Shiho. But it doesn't matter. We are all alive now. With Kogoro here, we can definitely find a solution."
Mao Li's cell phone rang, breaking the brief silence.
He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Sonoko, so he sighed softly, stood up and walked aside to answer the phone.
Kirara Haihara watched Maori's back as he left and narrowed her eyes slightly.
She quickly approached Haibara Ai and whispered, "Shiho, you must find a way to make Maori fall in love with you."
Huihara Ai's cheeks instantly flushed, she widened her eyes, looked at her sister in disbelief, and whispered back: "Sister, are you crazy? How can I make him fall in love with me in this state?"
Without hesitation, Huiyuan Qiluo said confidently: "It is precisely because of your current state that you have the greatest advantage. You are a child now, and it is easiest to win his care and love. Moreover, you can do many things without scruples and will not arouse the suspicion of other women. This is the weapon we need most now."
Haibara Ai frowned. Even though she understood what her sister meant, she still found it hard to accept.
She whispered back, "But why do you do this?"
Kirara Huihara took a deep breath. "We two sisters now rely on Mao Li to live a stable life, and we will continue to rely on him in the future. If we can make him have the deepest feelings for both of us, then we will naturally live a better life without having to worry."
She paused, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Huihara Ai meaningfully: "Besides, Shiho, how do you know that Maori has no feelings for you? Don't forget, he is a philandering man and may be interested in every woman."
Haibara Ai was stunned, and all the memories of her past interactions with Maori emerged in her mind.
She had never thought deeply about Mao Li's feelings for her, she just thought he was a reliable savior and protector, but now, her sister's words made her think deeply.
"But……"
Huibara Ai's voice was a little hesitant.
"Don't say but, Shiho,"
Kirara Huihara interrupted her with a determined look in her eyes, "We have no way out. Relying on Maori is our only way out. It's not difficult to accept that he is interested in you. As long as it can guarantee our future safety and happiness, we must seize this opportunity."
Haibara Ai lowered her head, and complex emotions began to intertwine in her heart.
She knew her sister's words made sense, but she was still struggling inside.
She had never thought of gaining other people's affection in this way, but at this moment, she began to realize that life sometimes did not allow her to choose.
She could only obey her fate and try her best to seize the only chance to protect herself and her sister.
Besides, doesn’t Haibara Ai have a good impression of Maori?
Mao Li hung up the phone and walked back, unaware of the conversation between the two sisters.
Kirara Haibara had a calm smile on her face again, while Ai Haibara still had a slight blush on her face.
Mao Li pulled away from the phone and returned to the two of them, his hands in his pockets, and asked in a relaxed tone: "Have you finished talking? Sonoko just called and invited us to her villa. I have to go and take Xiaolan with me now."
Upon hearing this, Kirara Huihara immediately showed her gentle and caring side. She walked to Maori, gently took his arm, and said softly, "Go and get busy. Be careful not to forget anything. I'll wait for you."
At this moment, Kirara Haibara signaled to Ai Haibara with her eyes.
Haibara Ai looked at her sister's hint and felt conflicted, but she took a deep breath and made a decision.
Her cold expression suddenly became unnatural and her cheeks began to blush.
She gritted her teeth, took a few steps, and suddenly hugged Mao Li's legs, and said coquettishly with a hint of awkwardness in her voice: "Uncle Mao Li, I want to go too!"
Maori was stunned by her sudden action and looked down at Ai.
She was usually calm and composed, but at this moment she was acting like a little child. This was something he had never expected.
Haibara Ai held Maori's legs tightly, her blush still on. Her heart was filled with a mixture of shyness and nervousness. She kept blaming herself in her mind for being so coquettish, but thinking of what her sister had just said, she could only bite the bullet and continue to persevere.
Maori turned his head and glanced at Kirara Huihara, and saw that she was smiling gently and didn't seem to be planning to help.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he laughed out loud, gently ruffled Huihara Ai's hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll take you there."
After all, who doesn’t like little Loli?
Chapter 196: Negotiating a Business of Several Hundred Million
Maori brought Haibara Ai back home, picked up Xiaolan and Conan, and they drove to the Suzuki family.
The Suzuki family's home is as luxurious as ever, and the garden in front of the door is meticulously trimmed, showing the Suzuki family's wealth and majesty.
As soon as Mao Li entered the living room of the Suzuki family, before Mao Li could even speak, Suzuki Sonoko had already rushed over excitedly, smiling brightly and saying, "Uncle Mao Li! You are finally here! I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Her voice was full of energy and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Sonoko's outgoing personality made the whole room seem particularly lively. She chattered non-stop, giving Maori almost no chance to breathe.
"Sonoko! Stop monopolizing daddy all the time!"
Xiaolan pulled Yuanzi over with dissatisfaction. Yuanzi then reacted and started playing with Xiaolan with a smile.
Haibara Ai stood behind Maori, quietly watching this passionate scene, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Hey, who is this girl?"
After playing for a while, Sonoko finally noticed the presence of Haibara Ai.
Xiaolan said to Sonoko casually: "This is Haibara Ai, the child that her father is taking care of now, just like Conan."
Sonoko only glanced at Haibara Ai, then quickly turned back and continued chattering with Maori, obviously not very interested in the new faces.
She was almost entirely focused on Maori and didn't pay any more attention to Haibara Ai.
"Hehe...she is just like that, just ignore her."
Conan put on a lazy smile and shrugged at Haibara Ai.
"I know."
Haibara Ai gave Conan a cold look, thinking in her mind how to get closer to Maori.
In the living room, Suzuki Tomoko, who sat firmly in the first seat, always maintained a dignified posture, with a hint of displeasure revealed in her eyes.
She frowned slightly and snorted coldly.
Yuanzi noticed her mother's attitude and immediately calmed down. The smile on her face instantly faded a little. She took Xiaolan and said goodbye to her mother obediently: "Mom, let's go pack our luggage."
Suzuki Tomoko nodded, her eyes still fixed on Maori.
Sonoko and Xiaolan left tactfully and prepared to pack their luggage.
Suzuki Tomoko finally stood up, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, but her tone was still crisp and clear: "Mr. Maori, there are some things we need to talk about in the study."
Without waiting for Mao Li to react, she walked forward decisively, took his hand, and led him directly to the study.
