Crossover Anime: Ran is sorry for accompanying Eri on her business trip.

"What!" Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed in surprise, then laughed. "Ran, it seems your image is in jeopardy!"

Ran Mouri stared anxiously at her phone, "What should we do!"

"Retreat quickly!" Sonoko Suzuki reminded them.

"We're already past the time limit." Ran Mouri shook her head, sweat already beading on her forehead.

"Did Chen Mo reply to you?" Sonoko Suzuki asked curiously.

Ran Mouri looked down at her phone's chat window and saw that Chen Mo had replied with a question mark.

She quickly typed an explanation, but before she could finish writing...

Chen Mo then sent another message: Xiao Lan, please be mindful of your limits.

Ran Mouri immediately called Chen Mo, wanting to explain things properly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo's lazy voice came from behind.

"Chen Mo, this, this isn't what you think!" Ran Mouri quickly explained, "Someone sent this to me. I wanted to delete it, but I accidentally clicked forward."

"Yes, I understand," Chen Mo's voice came through.

"Do you really understand?" Ran Mouri asked, somewhat doubtfully.

"Okay, give me a website address," Chen Mo said with a smile.

Ran Mouri hung up the phone immediately and looked towards Sonoko Suzuki.

"Sonoko! I feel like it's impossible to explain anymore."

Sonoko Suzuki smiled and said, "I think you could have just said it to his face. Besides, it's just watching cat videos, right? He's definitely watched more of those than you have."

Ran Mouri looked at Sonoko Suzuki suspiciously, "Really? But he even asked me for the website address..."

“Yeah, you see, he wants to watch it too, but he doesn’t have the chance. And 99% of guys watch it, the rest are all gay,” Sonoko Suzuki answered confidently. “So you don’t need to worry about it.”

Ran Mouri nodded gently and sat down again.

"If you care so much, why don't you take this opportunity to invite him to dinner!" Sonoko Suzuki asked, suddenly remembering something.

"A treat?" Ran Mouri's eyes lit up, and she quickly picked up her phone.

But Sonoko Suzuki stopped her hand, saying, "Why are you still sending messages? Isn't that just giving him a chance to reject you? Let's go straight to your mother's office! We'll confront him face-to-face!"

Ran Mouri thought about it for a moment and agreed. She looked up at Sonoko Suzuki and asked, "Sonoko, do you want to come too?"

"Ran, you're not going to leave me behind to go on a date, are you?" Sonoko Suzuki blinked pitifully.

"Of course not, I was just asking." Ran Mouri shook her head.

She had just thought about it, and if Chen Mo didn't believe her, she could ask Suzuki Sonoko to help testify.

"Okay, it's time to go home."

Chen Mo glanced at the time, stretched, and prepared to leave work.

He glanced at Eri Kisaki.

They discovered she showed no signs of waking up.

It's clear she'll be sleeping all day this time.

"Chen Mo, are you off work?"

Kuriyama Midori came in from outside. The Chen Mo case was completed too quickly, actually ahead of some procedures.

This caused her to spend the entire day running around before she could finally resolve the case completely.

Of course, she did go to the restroom once in between.

Some personal issues were resolved.

"Okay, I'll leave work on time. Is there a problem?" Chen Mo winked at Kuriyama Midori and asked.

Kuriyama Midori quickly shook her head, "I, I didn't mean that."

Normally, Eri Kisaki wouldn't let Chen Mo leave so early; she would at least keep him in the office for an extra hour and wouldn't let anyone else get close.

It's rather unusual that Chen Mo left so early today.

She glanced inside and saw that Eri Kisaki was still lying on the sofa.

"I hope nothing bad has happened to the teacher."

Kuriyama Midori asked with some concern.

"Don't worry! Eri is just too tired, she'll be fine after a rest."

Chen Mo offered a word of comfort and patted Kuriyama Midori on the shoulder, "I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of her. I have some things to do tonight."

“Okay…” Kuriyama Midori wanted to say something more, but Chen Mo had already left.

"...Would you like to have dinner together?"

Kuriyama Midori finished speaking silently, and finally sighed.

She looked towards the sofa, gazing at Eri's face, and said with a hint of apology, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I think I've fallen for Chen Mo too."

And on the other side,

Chen Mo walked out of the Yingli Law Firm.

He was preparing to keep his appointment with Yoko Okino that evening, but as soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki walking towards him.

"Xiaolan?"

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised to see her appear.

"Hey! You only see Ran, don't you see me?" Sonoko Suzuki asked irritably.

"You showed Xiaolan cat videos, and I haven't even come to you yet," Chen Mo said, smiling at Suzuki Sonoko.

"You, how did you know?"

Sonoko Suzuki looked at Chen Mo with a surprised expression, and then at Ran Mouri.

"I didn't say anything," Ran Mouri quickly shook her head.

"No need to think, it's easy to guess." Chen Mo shook his head slightly. "Who else but you would dare send Xiaolan this? Yuanzi, you need to be more careful!"

Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed there was no need to explain anything; Chen Mo clearly knew everything.

Sonoko Suzuki blushed deeply. "I... I saw it somewhere else, I didn't download it myself."

Chen Mo twirled the car keys in his hand. "I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. Did you come to see me?"

"Are you going out? Where are you going?" Sonoko Suzuki asked hurriedly.

"Um! I have something to take care of, do you want to come along?" Chen Mo asked deliberately.

"It's okay, you go ahead and do your work! I came to see my mother." Ran Mouri quickly waved her hand.

Chen Mo patted Ran Mouri's head, then turned and left.

Sonoko Suzuki said anxiously, "Ran, why didn't you tell him you were going to have dinner with him!"

Ran shook her head. "Didn't Chen Mo say he was busy? I certainly can't delay his work. Besides, we can have dinner together another day."

Sonoko Suzuki pouted. She had finally managed to get a chance to eat together, and who knew when the next opportunity would come.

"Ran, how do you know he's going on official business! What if..." Sonoko Suzuki suddenly said, watching the car drive out of the parking lot.

"Sonoko, stop talking! I believe Chen Mo." Ran Mouri said, walking towards the office.

After watching Ran Mouri leave, Sonoko Suzuki thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and dialed a number, muttering to herself, "Since you're not going with him, I'll go with him! I want to see what he's up to!"

Chapter 9: Miss Yoko, are you full this time?

"Yes, a barbecue restaurant."

Chen Mo got out of the car and arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

A slight smile played on her lips as she walked forward.

"Miss Yoko, you actually made a date at a barbecue restaurant! That's quite unexpected."

Chen Mo entered the store and immediately noticed Yoko Okino.

She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt.

It features a V-neck design in the front.

You can see her cleavage right there.

A suit jacket was placed beside her, and she wore a black pencil skirt and black stockings.

Regarding her outfit,

It was actually quite surprising to Chen Mo.

After all, she is usually known as an idol singer.

Chen Mo clearly hadn't expected her to choose such a professional outfit for her appearance.

Yoko Okino knelt on the ground, somewhat nervously.

She didn't know what Chen Mo liked to eat, so she chose a fairly common restaurant.

Regarding her outfit

She spent a long time choosing before finally deciding to wear this outfit to meet Chen Mo.

He hoped to appear to value the matter, since he needed to ask Chen Mo for a favor.

"Miss Yoko."

Chen Mo greeted them and sat down in front of Yoko Okino.

"You are Chen Mo!" Yoko Okino looked a little surprised when she saw Chen Mo.

She actually learned about Chen Mo from television, but she couldn't see Chen Mo's specific appearance clearly on screen.

I never expected him to be so handsome in person.

I was immediately captivated by the other person at first glance.

"Well, it's me!"

Chen Mo looked at Yoko Okino, a faint smile on his face.

"Miss Yoko, you look beautiful today."

"Thank you!" Yoko Okino blushed slightly upon hearing Chen Mo's words, but she felt secretly delighted.

Chen Mo glanced ahead and noticed that the food hadn't been served yet.

"Has Miss Yoko ordered yet?"

Yoko Okino shook her head, "I don't know Mr. Chen Mo's tastes, so I didn't order anything rashly."

"Anything is fine with me, whatever you like." Chen Mo glanced at the menu and handed it to Yoko Okino.

He discovered that although this was a barbecue restaurant,

However, all the ingredients are high-end.

It's clear that Yoko Okino carefully selected this place.

Seeing that Chen Mo insisted, Yoko Okino ordered a table full of dishes herself, as was her custom.

"Did Miss Yoko call me here for something?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Yoko Okino lowered her voice and glanced left and right.

"It seems like I'm actually being watched."

“Every time I go home, the furniture in my house changes! And they also send me some strange photos.”

"And there are silent phone calls every day."

She placed her hands on her knees, clenching them tightly, clearly very nervous and scared.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, "Yes, don't worry, I'll help you solve this problem."

"Really? Thank you so much!" Yoko Okino looked up at Chen Mo, her eyes shining.
