Michiwaki Masahiko watched them leave in surprise, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "I wish you have a good time, and I hope to see you again."

He turned to the dark-skinned clerk and said, "Give me a cold drink, too."

However, the dark-skinned clerk chopped the kitchen knife on the chopping board and said unhappily, "The cold drinks are gone! Get lost!"

"Eh?"

Michiwaki Masahiko was a little confused. What was this guy doing?

……

Xiaolan and Sonoko walked aside with cold drinks, and Xiaolan whispered, "Sonoko, what do you think of this person?"

Sonoko licked the ice cream and frowned, "It's a little weird, but it doesn't look malicious."

Xiaolan nodded and put the matter behind her.

At the Sea House, Xiaolan and Sonoko sat by the window, enjoying cool drinks and relaxing.

The sunlight shone through the window onto them, bringing a touch of warmth.

However, anyone could see that Xiaolan was quite absent-minded at the moment. The cold drink in her hand melted and fell on her fingertips, but she did not react.

"Xiao Lan, I think there's something wrong with you today. What are you thinking about? Tell the truth!"

Yuanzi poked Xiaolan's waist. Xiaolan was startled, smiled and hid, trying to explain: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about my father and mother."

"Oh, don't worry, Uncle Maori is so handsome now, and he has changed so much, the two of them should be able to reconcile."

Yuanzi smiled and comforted Xiaolan, who forced a smile, "Yes, I hope so too..."

That's what you hope for...right?

At this time, Kisaki Eri had finished talking with Mouri Kogoro and walked towards them.

She sat gracefully opposite Xiaolan and Sonoko, looking at them with a smile.

"Xiaolan, Yuanzi, long time no see."

Said Kieri, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

"Ah, Mom, you're back."

Xiaolan responded with a smile, but there was some evasion in her eyes.

Yuanzi greeted lively: "Auntie, hello, it's been a long time since we last met!"

Fei Yingli nodded, and then noticed that Xiaolan seemed to be worried, so she asked with concern: "Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

Xiaolan was slightly startled. Not wanting her mother to notice her inner turmoil, she quickly changed the subject: "Nothing, Mom. Sonoko and I were just talking about you and Dad."

Yuanzi also quickly chimed in, saying with a smile: "Yes, Auntie, we think you and Uncle should talk more and spend more time together. After all, after so many years, the relationship is still very important."

Hibiki Eri smiled and glanced at Xiaolan, a little confused, but continued their topic: "You kids are such worriers. Don't worry too much about our adult affairs."

"But mom, you and dad are actually quite suitable. Everyone hopes that you can reconcile."

Xiaolan took the opportunity to continue speaking, trying to keep the topic away from her own concerns.

Yuanzi also said: "Yes, Auntie, Uncle actually misses you very much, he just speaks hard but is soft-hearted. Give him another chance!"

After hearing the two people's persuasion, Kisaki Eri was actually somewhat moved.

She folded her hands and kept weighing in her mind whether she should try living together again.

Even though she had just said those big words to Maori, as a woman, she still wanted to have a good relationship with her husband.

Xiaolan noticed her mother's deep thought and turned slightly to find that her mother's wedding ring was missing. Her heart tightened and she couldn't help asking, "Mom, where is your ring?"

Kissingri was stunned, she looked down at her fingers, and then a complicated expression appeared on her face.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart: Maori, that careless guy, didn't even notice this. Obviously he still doesn't want to live with me again.

Thinking of this, her mood suddenly became bad.

"Xiaolan."

Hibiki Eri spoke in a cold tone and shook her head slightly, "The ring is just an object, it's not important."

Xiaolan felt a little disappointed when she heard her mother's cold answer, but she still said tentatively: "Mom, I think you and Dad can try again. Maybe... maybe you can live together again."

Hibiki Eri raised her head, her eyes calm and determined: "No, Xiaolan, let's forget about this matter for now. Many things are not as simple as we think."

“Is that so…”

Xiaolan's tone changed a little... I don't know whether she was happy or regretful.

At this time, Michiwaki Masahiko came over again and started chatting with Kisaki Eri, "Beautiful lady, can I buy you a drink?"

Kisaki Eri gave him a cold look, but before she could refuse, a strong arm held Michiwaki Masahiko down.

Then, a frosty voice sounded: "Hey, are you looking for death? How dare you flirt with my wife and daughter?"

What kind of bastard dares to hit on my wife and daughter?

Do you believe that I will send you straight to jail?

Chapter 48 I'll give you a hand

Masahiko Waki ​​was stunned by Maori's momentum. He smiled awkwardly and raised his hands to surrender: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your family. I'm so sorry."

Kogoro Mori still maintained his cold expression, staring at Michiwaki Masahiko sharply, and only let go of his arm after he left.

Then, he turned to look at Hibiki Eri, his eyes full of concern, "Eri, that boy didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Kissingri was slightly stunned, her heart was in turmoil, but she remained calm on the surface.

She snorted softly and stopped talking. She just looked down at her empty fingers, and the resentment towards Maori in her heart still did not dissipate.

"It's nothing, Dad. He just came to talk to us."

Xiaolan said gently: "But it's a good thing you came, otherwise that guy would have to learn a lesson from my mother's power."

"Of course, your mother is very powerful!"

Maori Kogoro burst into laughter, looked at Xiaolan with a loving look and said, "When you grow up, you must be as smart, beautiful and powerful as your mother!"

"Okay, what to say in front of the kids?"

Kisaki Eri felt a little embarrassed. She glared at Maori Kogoro, then pretended to be calm and took the iced drink in front of her. She took a sip before she managed to calm down...

This guy has really changed. He would never say these words before.

Although they would have dinner together on every wedding anniversary after separation, there was no such sweet talk and they usually parted on bad terms.

"Mom is shy."

Xiaolan smiled. Judging from the condition of her father and mother today, the relationship between them has recovered well. It will probably not be long before the family is reunited.

so good.

Just then, the dark-skinned handsome waiter came over with four drinks in his hands and placed them on the table.

"This is?"

Sonoko looked up at the dark-skinned handsome guy in confusion.

The dark-skinned handsome guy introduced himself in a dull tone: "Hello, my name is Kyogoku Makoto. These are four cups of free gifts from our store to thank you. I think you will have fun for another day, right? If you don't mind, you can stay at our Ocean House Inn tonight."

"Kyogoku Makoto? This name sounds familiar..."

Xiaolan frowned and thought for a while, then quickly realized, "Ah! You are the All-Japan Karate Champion, the 'Kicking Prince' Kyogoku Makoto who has won 400 consecutive matches without a loss?!"

Sonoko was stunned. She stared at Kyogoku Makoto with wide eyes and couldn't help but yelling, "Oh my God! Kyogoku Makoto? You are actually Kyogoku Makoto! Who is more powerful, you or Uncle Maori?"

Kyogoku Makoto nodded calmly and said modestly: "Mr. Maori is a famous detective. Although I have made some achievements in karate, I am still far behind Mr. Maori and cannot be compared."

"Ah... come to think of it, Uncle Mori can't beat Kyogoku-san..."

Sonoko was a little disappointed. Xiaolan was a little dissatisfied at this time. She immediately stood up and said, "That's not true! Dad is a judo champion! I believe that if he competes with Kyogoku, he will not lose!"

"Uncle Maori, you are a judo champion? How come I don't know this?"

Sonoko was surprised, but soon became excited again, "Two handsome guys, both champions in martial arts, I'm so excited, can you guys spar with each other?"

Xiaolan was surprised and gently pushed her: "Sonoko, stop messing around, Mr. Kyogoku, we really appreciate your kindness and are willing to stay here for one night. As for the sparring, let's not do it."

Xiaolan just wanted to speak for her father, but if they really had to compete, she was worried that her father would get hurt.

However, Kyogoku Makoto, who only heard Sonoko's voice, was slightly startled and ignored Xiaolan.

She wants to see me spar with Mr. Maori?

Row!

Kyogoku Makoto immediately looked at Maori Kogoro with fighting spirit, "Mr. Maori, I didn't know you were a judo champion before. If possible, please spar with me."

"Great!"

Sonoko became excited, and Kyogoku Makoto smiled slightly when he saw her excitement, and became even more eager to fight.

"Sonoko! Kyogoku-kun!"

Xiaolan was a little anxious and looked at Maori Kogoro with self-blame. It was all her fault for saying too much, which led to the current situation.

"dad……"

Maori Kogoro chuckled and waved his hands: "I am an old man, why am I fighting with young people? I admit defeat, it doesn't matter."

Yuanzi became anxious: "Oh, you men are like this, you don't admit defeat and you don't say it directly. Uncle Maori, I believe in you very much. If you win this time, I will fight you to the death. I won't be a fan of other men!"

"Oh?"

Maori Kogoro looked at Sonoko in surprise, "What if a very handsome guy appears in the future?"

"Well... as long as he's not as good as Uncle Maori, I'll always be your die-hard fan!"

Sonoko hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "I am a fan of the most handsome and the strongest man!"

Suddenly, flames suddenly ignited on Kyogoku Makoto's body.

What she likes is the most handsome and the strongest!

Then I will become the strongest.

Kogoro Mouri took a look at the ignited Kyogoku Makoto and shook his head helplessly.

Young people are hot-tempered and can be provoked by just one word.

Still too young.

"Hubby, don't fight me. You just fought with me... won't your legs go weak?"

Kisaki Eri whispered something in Mouri Kogoro's ear, and Mouri Kogoro stood up suddenly, furious.

How can a man say no!

Even though he had just been hit by a dragon's breath, he would definitely be able to do it given his physical fitness!

"Come on! Where are you going to fight? I'll give you a hand!"

Kisaki Eri looked at Mouri Kogoro with amusement. This guy was still as timid as before.

But how powerful has he become now?

I really want to see...

……

Kyogoku Makoto brought Mori Kogoro to a forest behind the Sea House, looked at Mori seriously, and made up his mind secretly.

We must win this competition!

This is a battle to win Miss Sonoko's heart!

Xiaolan and Sonoko held each other nervously, looking at Kyogoku Makoto and Mori Kogoro who were confronting each other. Kisaki Eri was inexplicably confident in her husband, and watched with her arms folded and her head tilted.

"Kyogoku Makoto, please give me some advice!"

Kyogoku Makoto adopted a karate stance and looked very ferocious.

Maori Kogoro stood there with a solemn look on his face, and waved to Kyogoku Shin, "Come on."

Kyogoku Makoto began to move slowly, his eyes fixed on Mouri Kogoro.

Maori's posture was loose and he seemed to be full of flaws, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find a direction to attack.
