"What did your mother say?"
"What else can I say?"
Sonoko curled her lip indifferently.
"The head of the Iioka family called personally to apologize, so my mother couldn't be too harsh on him, otherwise people would say our family was bullying the younger generation."
"Yes, it's good that you apologized."
Xia Ye nodded matter-of-factly, "At least the other party is sensible and knows that being sharp-tongued has consequences!"
Yoko Okino opened her mouth slightly, but hesitated to speak.
That young master of the conglomerate only said a couple of inappropriate things, and Xia Ye beat him up so badly that his father even had to apologize in person. That feeling—well, it's actually pretty satisfying!
Because Xia Ye's domineering behavior is all for her own benefit.
They were protected like this.
Being a girl is truly wonderful!
None of the other beauties, young or old, thought Xia Ye had gone too far, not even the kind-hearted Xiao Lan.
After all, they were projecting themselves onto the character, and they wouldn't empathize with a tycoon's son they didn't even know!
"Summer Leaves—"
Yukiko raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyes sweeping around the room, a smile playing on her lips. "What do we do now?"
"What else can we do?" Xia Ye spread his hands with a resigned expression and sighed.
"I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany you ladies. I'm handing over all of this 100-plus pounds to you today. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters!"
"Hehehe~" Yukiko giggled and waved her hand. "Ran, Sonoko, come on, take Natsume away. It feels like something's missing when we're shopping without a man by our side. Although we don't have enough for one, it's better than nothing!"
"Yes! Yukiko-neechan!"
Ran and Sonoko gave each other a military salute, playfully echoing Yukiko's gesture.
Then, laughing and joking, they each took one of Xia Ye's arms, one on each side, and said in a sweet voice:
"We won't let Xia Ye escape!"
"You guys!"
Xia Ye's hands were held tightly in the arms of the two girls.
Although I can't move, I'm enjoying all the perks and really having a great time!
He lowered his head and tapped the heads of the two youngest girls in the group with his chin, saying helplessly:
"Why would I run away? It's my honor to play with all of you beautiful girls, and look, in just a short while, all those men inside and outside the shop have already started treating me like an enemy. If I don't leave soon, I think they might get jealous and come and beat me up!"
"Cuckoo~"
"Hee hee~"
"Then let's hurry up and go!"
"Yeah, it's really uncomfortable to have people watching!"
Among this group of beauties, apart from Vermouth, Yukiko, and Elena who completely disregarded others' opinions, the others all felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Especially Eri Kisaki.
Even though she has already performed with Yukiko and Tomoko Suzuki and is quite open at home, she is still easily shy in public!
So a group of beautiful women, young and old, escorted Xia Ye out of the restaurant, leaving behind a group of men filled with envy and jealousy.
Damn it, so what if you're handsome?!
but--
Look at how happy and content this group of beautiful women are! Being handsome really is something else!
This shameful world that judges people by their looks!
...
in fact.
Shopping with nine beautiful women wasn't as tiring as Xia Ye had imagined.
Besides the fact that so many top-tier beauties of all ages gathered together, the sheer number of people turning their heads to look at them is astounding.
Xia Ye didn't do much.
Like now.
Shiho dragged her older sister, Ran, Sonoko, and Yoko to a luxury store on the street to look at the new bags.
Yukiko then dragged Eri, Ayako, and Elena to another well-known brand store specializing in mysterious and sexy lingerie. She gave Natsume a very charming and alluring look, with a mischievous smile on her pretty face, before Eri took care of her.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Xia Ye looked at Vermouth beside her and said with a smile:
"Teacher, when did you come back to Japan? Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up."
Vermouth glanced at him with a half-smile in her beautiful eyes, her red lips slightly upturned, her tone lightly mocking:
"I see you're surrounded by so many beautiful women, you're too busy to even remember your teacher. I might finish talking to you, and your flight will have already arrived, leaving me to wait for hours!"
"How is that possible!"
Xia Ye quickly waved her hand, denying it, "No matter how busy I am, I'll definitely be there instantly if you call me, Teacher! Besides, you're a super beautiful woman, Teacher, I wouldn't show favoritism!"
"Oh?"
Vermouth, her pretty face alluring, said calmly, "Are those women no longer enough for you? Now you're even eyeing me. Xia Ye, you've changed so much since returning to Japan, I, your teacher, almost don't recognize you anymore!"
"Is not it good?"
Xia Ye didn't care at all.
At first, he maintained his persona, but later he completely let himself go.
This would naturally arouse Vermouth's suspicion.
However, he didn't care, and judging from Vermouth's attitude, she probably didn't care either.
"If you think it's good, then it's good~"
Vermouth said meaningfully:
"Anyway, you'll always be my student, no matter what you become. That's fine with me. As for the rest, I don't care."
"Then, teacher—"
Xia Ye naturally reached out and gently grasped Vermouth's slender hand, a mischievous smile playing on her lips:
Can you grant my wish?
"Haha~"
Vermouth smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with charm, but her tone gradually turned cold:
"So what will you use to move me? My heart is shrouded in darkness and ice. How will you break down that barrier and win me over? I'm very curious!"
"Don't worry, teacher~" Xia Ye said confidently. "Darkness and ice can be dispelled with fire, and barriers can be broken through with sharp blades. As for the specific methods, you'll find out when the time comes!"
"Oh? Then I'll be watching with bated breath!"
A faint smile appeared on Vermouth's pretty face.
Although something felt off, it was Xia Ye's declaration that he wanted to woo her, his teacher, so it was normal for something to feel off. She didn't pay too much attention to it, but was just curious about how Xia Ye planned to win her over.
What she just said wasn't a lie.
She closed herself off at some point.
From then on, whether it was ruthlessness or allure, it was all just an outward appearance.
It has absolutely nothing to do with her inner feelings!
later.
She became friends with Yukiko.
A tiny crack appeared in the wall of the heart.
It wasn't until Ran and Shinichi Kudo appeared that the gap became a crack that could slightly reflect true feelings.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness once again become real.
only--
This is not enough.
Xia Ye's attempt to win her over with this tiny opening was simply not enough!
Even if it's affected by the logs.
Natsume's position in her heart was only slightly higher than Shinichi Kudo, not even as high as Yukiko, let alone Ran!
So what should Xia Ye do?
Vermouth suddenly felt hopeful.
"What are you talking about?"
Yukiko, Eri Kisaki, and Elena walked out of the sexy lingerie store, each carrying several shopping bags.
Just then, Yoko Koran and her group also came out of the luxury store.
Everyone now carries a stylish...and expensive bag~
"My teacher is asking me how I plan to woo her!"
Xia Ye succinctly summarized what she had just talked about with Vermouth!
We exchanged opinions on this topic.
"puff--!"
"Hahaha!"
A group of beautiful women, both young and old, were delighted.
Xia Ye spoke so bluntly and vulgarly that Vermouth did not refute him.
Her delicate and charming face remained calm, her beautiful eyes still holding a seductive smile.
So it's very likely that what Xia Ye said is true, and that's exactly what they were talking about!
"What do you say?"
Yukiko curiously leaned closer, her face full of gossip.
"Xia Ye, how are you going to woo Sharon?"
"It's a secret~"
Xia Ye smiled slightly and changed the subject:
"By the way, what did you all buy?"
"Let me get some help!"
Everyone knew he was changing the subject.
but--
Aside from Yukiko, none of the others were very familiar with Vermouth, and it wasn't appropriate for them to ask her about this topic like Yukiko would.
After all, we should at least give Vermouth some face.
Anyway, Xia Ye is already prepared to make a move, so just check the log updates when the time comes!
Once we take down Vermouth, this guy will definitely brag about it in his log; everyone's curious—
Will Vermouth die?
"I bought a bag—a new Prada one, I paid with your card~" Shiho showed Natsume her spoils: a black, shiny Prada handbag with a diamond pattern. She had just changed into a mysterious black strapless dress, and with the bag, she looked every bit the fashionable young woman!
"I bought one too!"
With a gentle smile on her face, Akemi showed Natsume her bag.
