Then Yukiko got up, went downstairs, and stared blankly.
Then I got up, washed up, ate, and went out with my sister and Yukiko.
During this time, the villa became quiet.
morning.
Xia Ye goes home.
He ate the food his sister had left for him.
I read a book on the sofa and chatted with Tia.
Then--
Then the ghost appeared.
So far, so normal.
Although the two were very affectionate, so many days had passed and she had gotten used to it.
And then--
Xiao Ai's pretty face turned bright red instantly.
Her little hands clenched tightly, her eyes filled with shyness.
this...
She...she actually took the initiative!
Judging from her lip movements, she clearly called out the correct name back then, so she must have regained her memory. How could she still do something like this!
and--
Looking at the screen, Ai was speechless.
Is this really her? It feels so unreal!
I wanted to turn off the video quickly.
However, my hands wouldn't obey me.
The surveillance footage continues to play.
Because the surveillance footage was taken by Tia using unknown high technology, the images are clear, with varied angles, and can perfectly reproduce the scenes inside the villa throughout the day.
Ai bit her lip.
A strange feeling welled up inside me.
It was both taboo and shameful, yet I couldn't take my eyes off it.
soon.
The video footage has changed.
Yukiko pushed open the door and walked in.
Then--
Snapped--!
Ai turned off the computer with a look of embarrassment and annoyance in her eyes!
So angry!
Xia Ye, that scoundrel!
hateful!
Ai took a deep breath, gently patted her cheeks, and quickly regained her composure. She was somewhat impressed with herself; even at a time like this, she could still control her emotions. Could it be—
I wasn't actually that angry.
wrong!
I am angry!
Xiao Ai shook her head vigorously.
My resolve has been strengthened.
She stood up, pushed open the door, and went out.
The atmosphere downstairs was fairly harmonious.
Ai walked down the stairs.
Everyone in the living room couldn't help but turn their gaze over there.
Ai saw her sister's questioning look, but she didn't respond. Instead, she smiled and sat down next to Natsume.
Akemi sighed inwardly.
Shiho already knew, as expected.
That's right. When Mom called Shiho and herself by their names just now, even though she called them Ai and Akemi, her gentle eyes and the affectionate tone she didn't even realize betrayed her.
So obvious.
Even Shiho could sense it.
With her intelligence, she would understand after a little thought.
but--
Let Shiho vent her anger.
Akemi stopped caring.
She needs to resolve this issue quickly, as she wants to have a good talk with her mother, who has regained her memory, about the nearly twenty years of longing she has felt!
As for Xia Ye—
snort!
The gentle and kind-hearted Akemi rarely felt a little resentful towards Natsume. She thought, "Let him suffer whatever Shiho does. I can't let him take all the benefits, can I?"
Compared to the good things to come.
It's good for him to suffer a little now!
Chapter 218 Can't you just refuse?
Xia Ye saw Xiao Ai sit down next to her.
I instinctively wanted to pull her into my arms.
This was already Xia Ye's instinctive action, after all, Ai was small and soft, and holding her in her arms was more comfortable than a pillow.
Ai is already used to it~
however--
The moment Xia Ye reached out her hand.
Ai twisted her body slightly and threw a punch.
The small, cute fist, accompanied by a whistling sound, headed straight for Xia Ye's kidney. Judging from its stance and strength, it was almost ready to destroy one of Xia Ye's kidneys!
Xia Ye trusts Ai so much.
They were completely unprepared for her.
Xiao Ai was touched by the surprise in Xia Ye's eyes; this guy definitely didn't expect her to ambush him.
Hmph, he does have some redeeming qualities, though.
No! Now is not the time to think about this. Even if he likes me and trusts me, I can't avoid getting a beating today. After all, Mom—humph, beating him for this kind of thing is letting him off easy!
but.
Let's save some energy~
In the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of Xiao Ai. Xia Ye touched the ground with her toes and jumped out with a backflip.
Ai let out a soft hum.
Spider-Senses is such a hassle!
With a push of her calves, she jumped high into the air and delivered a standard karate upper-level kick to Xia Ye, who was still in mid-air.
At this time.
The three women on the sofa then realized what was happening.
but--
They didn't make a move.
They didn't say anything to stop Ai.
Yukiko has already entered "watching the drama unfold" mode.
She shouldn't interfere in the feud between Xia Ye and this mother and daughter; she should let them resolve it themselves.
Anyway, Xia Ye's life won't be in danger...
Elena had no idea where she had been exposed, and was currently trying to figure out how to explain it to her two daughters.
As for Akemi.
She had a very calm attitude.
After all, she had expected this to happen.
Shiho just went back and changed into some light clothes so it would be easier to beat up Natsume right now. That girl is so thoughtful!
Thoughts are fleeting.
Xia Ye was still in the air.
Faced with Ai's somewhat fierce kick, the weakened boy struggled a bit, but he figured he could still withstand the kick, however—
Bang-!
This time, it was Ai's turn to be surprised.
Her kick landed squarely on Xia Ye's chest.
Because it was a high kick.
Xia Ye, already in the air, took off again, tracing an arc before landing right in the second-floor corridor.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Ai let out a soft snort.
Don't fight back when hit?
But that's not enough!
She landed smoothly.
Instead of going up the stairs, he jumped up again.
With a gentle press of her small hand against the second-floor railing, she reached the second floor, pulled Xia Ye up, and led her into her room, slamming the door shut behind her.
"Mingmei~"
Elena hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
"Mom, don't worry!"
Akemi held Elena's hand and smiled, saying:
"Ai is just a little angry. Xia Ye knows how to coax her, and she'll be fine in a bit~"
"I'm really bad at acting~"
Elena knew she had been exposed, so she no longer tried to hide it:
"Did you and Shiho both find out?"
