Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

"next time?"

Hitomi Lai's eyes widened, and she was so angry that she picked up a pillow and threw it at Mao Li, "If you say that again, I will make sure you don't even think about having breakfast today!"

Maori laughed, easily dodged the pillow attack, turned around, opened the door and walked out.

He walked calmly, as if the frolic just now had never happened.

Lai Sheng Tong stomped her feet in anger, then took a deep breath to calm herself down.

She muttered in a low voice: "This damn devil, really... Never mind, there's no way I can stop him anyway."

She packed up briefly and followed him out of the room.

In the living room, Lai Sheng Ai had already sat on the sofa. When she saw Mao Li coming out of the room, her already shy face suddenly turned red like a ripe apple.

She lowered her eyes and greeted him softly, "Good morning, Mr. Maori."

Mao Li smiled and nodded: "Morning, Xiao Ai."

When Ai heard the word "love", his heart felt like a deer beating wildly and he didn't know where to put his fingers.

She lowered her head and dared not look at Mao Li again, but she couldn't help but secretly raise her eyes and glance at him.

Not far away, Lai Sheng Lei had already started busying herself preparing breakfast for everyone.

When she saw Mao Li coming over, she showed her usual gentle smile: "Mr. Mao Li, how did you sleep last night?"

Mao Li nodded and replied with a smile: "Very good, thank you Miss Lei for such a thoughtful arrangement."

"Where."

Lai Sheng Lei smiled slightly, and his gaze involuntarily lingered for a few seconds longer.

There was a hint of hidden expectation in her eyes, as if she was waiting for some response from Maori.

However, Maori's next move made her a little disappointed.

Maori sat naturally at the dining table and chatted with the three sisters. The topics were light and pleasant.

Raito Hitomi occasionally made jokes, Raito Ai lowered her head and smiled shyly, while Raito Lei carefully poured tea and passed the tray to Maori, her movements gentle and considerate.

However, Maori always maintained an ambiguous attitude.

No matter how actively Lai Sheng Lei approached her, he seemed both friendly and reserved, without excessive enthusiasm and without any intention of pursuing her.

Although Lai Sheng Lei still kept smiling, a slight sense of loss arose in his heart.

She originally thought that Maori was interested in her and would even use this opportunity to get closer to her.

But at the moment, Maori's attitude made her difficult to understand.

After finishing breakfast, Maoli stood up and politely thanked Lai Shenglei for the hospitality.

He checked the time, smiled and said, "I have something else to deal with today, so I won't bother you any more."

"Are you leaving so early, Mr. Maori?"

Lai Sheng Lei couldn't help but ask, with a barely perceptible regret in her tone.

"Well, it's a bit urgent."

Mao Li nodded, still with his signature smile on his face. His answer was relaxed and natural, without any hesitation.

Lai Shenglei could only nod: "Then...be careful on the road."

Maori smiled slightly and turned to walk towards the door.

At the moment he left, a complex emotion flashed across Lai Shenglei's eyes. She looked at Mao Li's back, and a feeling of loss rose in her heart.

The door closed softly and the living room was quiet for a moment.

Lai Sheng Lei retracted his gaze and forced a smile: "Okay, everyone, go back to your own business after you finish eating."

"Sister, are you okay?"

Lai Sheng Ai noticed the subtle change in her sister's mood and asked cautiously.

"What can happen to me?" Lai Shenglei smiled and shook his head, his voice still gentle, but lacking some of the previous vitality.

She stood up to clear the table, not wanting her two sisters to see her emotions.

But Lai Sheng Tong who was standing by saw it clearly.

She didn't say anything, but sighed secretly. She looked at Lai Shenglei's back, feeling a little guilty in her heart - after all, she knew all of Mao Li's plans, but could only cooperate silently.

"This damn devil,"

Lai Sheng Tong gritted her teeth secretly, "He really has a plan for everything. Even a woman like my sister is being led by him. I really don't know how he can be so comfortable with it."

She sighed, looked out the window with complicated eyes, and unknowingly, a helpless smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

……

Maori Office.

Maori Kogoro had just opened the door and hadn't taken off his shoes when Conan's boastful voice came from the living room: "Oh? You finally came back, Uncle Maori. I answered several calls for you these days! Well... I helped you a lot, didn't I?"

Mao Li raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Ha, from what you said, do you still want me to pay you a salary?"

Conan proudly put his hands on his hips, with an "of course" expression: "Isn't that as it should be? After all, I am——"

Before he could finish his words, Mao Li smacked him on the head with a slap: "You are a piece of shit! You little bastard, I've been gone for a few days, and you don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is?"

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts!"

Conan covered his head and backed away, muttering, "Why are you so fierce? I helped you!"

Mao Li was too lazy to pay attention to him. He threw his coat on the sofa and turned around to see Xiaolan coming out of the kitchen.

She was carrying a plate of fried eggs and toast, and when she saw Maoli, a warm smile suddenly broke out on her face: "Dad! You're back!"

Mao Li looked at his daughter's bright smile and felt soft in his heart.

He nodded, his tone was somewhat doting: "Yeah, I'm back. Why, you miss me after just a few days of not seeing me?"

"No, that's not the case..." Xiaolan's ears turned slightly red, and she turned her head away, "I'm just worried that you're too tired from work... You haven't eaten well, right?"

Mao Li smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, your dad is the type who gets more energetic the busier he is."

Xiaolan couldn't completely conceal the nostalgia in her eyes. She lowered her head and muttered softly, "But I still miss you..."

Mao Li was stunned, and looking at his daughter's slightly shy appearance, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

He reached out his hand, hugged Xiaolan and kissed her forehead: "Okay, Dad is back now, right? I'll take you out to play when I have the chance and make it up to you."

"Really?"

Xiaolan's eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly.

"Of course it's true." Maori nodded.

"Then let's change to a little secret."

Xiaolan said this with a blushing face, and Maori scratched her nose with a smile.

At this moment, a cold voice interrupted: "Uncle Maori, is your arms still empty?"

Maori turned around and saw that it was Ai. She was expressionless as always, but she walked over slowly and leaned gently into Maori's arms, like a quiet kitten.

Maori looked at her in surprise: "Hey, Ai, what's going on? Have you learned to act like a spoiled child too?"

Xiao Ai raised her head, her tone was cold but with a hint of warmth: "I'm not being coquettish, I just feel... your embrace is quite comfortable."

Mao Li smiled and shook his head, then reached out and patted her on the back: "Okay, I'll give you a few minutes. Don't stick around for too long, or that brat will get jealous again."

When Conan heard this, he jumped up unconvinced: "Hey, hey, hey! Uncle Maori, you are too biased!"

Maori was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked down at Xiao Ai's face and couldn't help but sigh: This child looks cold on the surface, but still longs for warmth in his heart. It seems that whether it is Conan or Xiao Ai, they have already regarded themselves as their support.

After breakfast, Maori changed into a neat suit and prepared to take Xiaolan and Conan to the Suzuki family's cruise ship.

At this moment, Maori found that Xiao Ai also came out of the room with a small bag on her back. She stood at the door and looked at him calmly: "Uncle Maori, I want to go too."

Mao Li was stunned: "You? What are you going to do?"

Xiao Ai usually likes to stay in the laboratory. I didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few days, she actually wanted to stay by my side.

“Experience life.”

Xiao Ai's tone was calm as usual, but it was impossible to refuse.

Mao Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, whatever you want. But you have to listen to me and don't run around."

"understood."

Xiao Ai nodded, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was satisfied with Maori's compromise.

At the cruise ship dock, the sea breeze blew gently. Maori and his four companions stood by the side of the ship, watching a luxurious cruise ship slowly approaching.

After the cruise ship stopped, a familiar figure jumped off the ship.

"Hahahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, the ship is simply a paradise for the rich!"

Yuanzi waved his arms exaggeratedly, his face filled with excitement, "Everyone is a tycoon! Either the CEO of a global chain, or a billionaire with tens of billions of assets, there are even oil tycoons! Ah, this is simply my home court!"

Conan rolled his eyes, his mouth twitching: "Sister Sonoko, aren't you tired of this exaggerated tone?"

Sonoko ignored him and continued chattering until she saw Maori Kogoro, then she stopped: "Hey, Uncle Maori, today it's up to you to protect ordinary people like us, after all, Kaito Kidd is here too."

Conan snorted and crossed his arms, "Luckily it was Kidd, otherwise with Uncle Maori's ability, someone would have died."

Maori raised his eyebrows, touched his chin, and then held Conan's head, saying viciously: "You little brat, the god of death is obviously you! As long as you are involved in the case, you can't escape, how come it became me?"

Conan struggled to escape from Maori's hands and retorted unconvincedly: "You were away these few days, but nothing happened around me! It proves it wasn't me!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Xiaolan interrupted the two with a helpless smile, holding Mao Li's hands on the left and right, "Dad, Sonoko, let's get on the boat quickly."

Ai stood aside, blinking her eyes and looking at the huge cruise ship. She pulled the corner of Maori's clothes and whispered, "It's really... the first time I've seen such a big ship."

Mao Li turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ai, then said with a smile: "How about it? Do you want me to carry you up?"

Ai immediately rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not a child." But she still followed Maori closely.

After boarding the ship, Ran and Sonoko were very excited by the luxurious scene. They walked around arm in arm, laughing in admiration from time to time. Conan was left to Maori, and followed Ai obediently.

"Isn't this cruise ship too extravagant?" Conan couldn't help but complain as he looked at the gilded stair railings and crystal chandeliers.

"Hmm..." Xiao Ai responded nonchalantly, looking around but seeming a little uninterested.

"Why aren't you excited at all?" Conan asked, "It's your first time on such a luxurious ship, don't you feel it's novel?"

Xiao Ai yawned and said calmly, "Boring. Although I like luxury goods, this kind of extravagant and exaggerated things have never been my style."

"Then why did you come?"

When Xiao Ai heard this, she secretly glanced at Maori who was surrounded by a crowd not far away, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in her eyes.

Then she turned her head and said to Conan coldly: "It's none of your business."

"Oh..." Conan scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

At this time, Maori was surrounded by a group of people, who greeted him enthusiastically.

Various celebrities and wealthy people surrounded him and chatted with him, as if he was one of the core figures on this cruise ship.

Mao Li handled it with ease, with a faint smile on his face and a strong aura.

At this moment, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked over.

His eyes were sharp and he exuded a strong aura of confidence, and he looked like a strong man in the business world.

"Mr. Maori, I have heard of your name for a long time." The middle-aged man took the initiative to extend his hand, with a somewhat arrogant smile, "I am Ichikawa Kotaro, the president of Ichikawa Real Estate. I came here specially to see you this time, and I hope to invite you to my birthday party in three days."

Mao Li was slightly stunned, then stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "Oh? President Ichikawa's invitation, of course I can't refuse."

Ichikawa nodded with satisfaction, and then said meaningfully: "By the way, I hope to introduce my daughter to you at that time. She admires you very much."

Mao Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Ichikawa smiled with satisfaction and left. Maori stood there, looking at Ichikawa's back thoughtfully: "This guy looks like someone who will get into trouble..."

The party officially began as the cruise ship blew its whistle.

In the cruise ship's living room, guests were toasting each other in a lively atmosphere. Suddenly, the lights dimmed and the noise died down.

A spotlight shone on the front of the reception room, and Tomoko Suzuki, wearing a gorgeous dress, slowly walked onto the stage.
