[Net King + Black Basket] Seijuro, your mother calls you to go home for dinner!

The woman's current name is Akashi Kaoru.

She stared blankly at the beautiful young face in the mirror, but a thousand grass-mud horses whizzed by in her heart.

For what her husband called an "important" dinner, the maid spent nearly an afternoon dressing her up.Not to mention changing clothes and putting on make-up, even the bathing had to be done by the servants—as if she was a disabled person who couldn't take care of herself in their eyes, or maybe they were just worried that she would try to escape again.

Xun Li rolled her eyes, now she is nothing more than a puppet manipulated by Akashi Masashi, to put it mildly, she is called a "vase".

She touched her cheek with her fingertips curiously, tsk - it's very honorable to take such a beauty out.

In front of her was a beautiful face of mixed blood that combined the advantages of the East and the West. There was no smile at the corner of her mouth, and her dark gray eyes produced an air of aloofness and indifference.Years of staying out of the house caused her already fair skin to turn pale.

Xun Li snorted softly, subconsciously feeling repulsed by this face.The subconscious told her——the owner of this body shouldn't be in such a weak state.

After thinking for a while, she decisively untied the maids' coiled hair, letting the dark brown curly hair that reached to her wrists hang freely.The velvet rose hair accessory used as decoration was pinned to her ear.

"Well, it's more suitable this way!" She pulled up the corners of her mouth and showed an exaggerated and bright smile.

Xunli sat in the [-]-square-meter dressing room for nearly an hour. There was no window or clock in the room, and there was a dazzling array of brand-new clothes and shoes.No one opened the door until her stomach was growling with hunger.

"Young Madam, it's time, please go downstairs." The maid lowered her head and reminded softly.

Xun Li twitched her lips, her situation in this house had been reduced to the point where she obeyed the orders of the maid.

She obediently followed the maid out of the room without saying a word.They had already figured out Madam's perverse temper, and they didn't expect Xun Li to respond.At this moment, it's safer to be dumb than to talk crazy.

Thinking of going downstairs to meet that inconsiderate husband, Xun Li felt powerless for a moment.However, she searched the hall for a long time and did not see his shadow, let alone him, there was no one else in the deserted hall except the maid who led the way and the housekeeper.

"Young master is going to Mr. Atobe's house first, young lady." The keen butler saw through her careful thoughts, and explained before she could open her mouth.

She nodded her head lightly, but she couldn't stop the disgust in her heart.That man's hatred for her has reached the point where they hated each other, no wonder Xun Li always used different tricks to escape before losing his memory.

Without saying a word, she sat in the extended version of Equus with the butler, and at the same time vented her hatred of the rich in her heart.

The low air pressure in the car made Xunli feel suffocated, she looked out the window at the mansion, shrouded in the night like a century-old stone sculpture.

"Sign—"

She couldn't help thinking of the name Masashi mentioned in the morning.It was not difficult to guess that it was their child.

Is the poor kid somewhere in the house now, waiting for his irresponsible parents to come home early?

Xun Li's sigh was barely audible.The face of the child has never appeared in her memory, it seems that this is another damn family marriage.

……

Half an hour later, the car stopped steadily at the door of a luxurious villa - Xunli's face was not good-looking, and she really couldn't find a more suitable word to describe this extremely gorgeous mansion except "luxury".

To her surprise, Masashi got out of another car of the same model.Assuming he has a bit of conscience, he avoided the embarrassing situation that Xun Li often faced alone.Otherwise, the headline in the gossip section of the newspaper tomorrow morning will be "Young Akashi Couple Marriage Difficulty—Is There Something Else!?"

His eyes lingered on Xun Li for a while, and looked back before she came back to her senses.

At Masashi's try, she took his arm, but the two bodies were ingeniously separated by an imperceptible distance.

"Be good, don't play tricks."

The magnetic male voice passed by his ears, but Xunli was not in the mood to appreciate the sound, and just wanted to stomp on his feet with ten centimeter high heels.

——The premise is that she has the guts QAQ

Xun Li glared at him when he was not paying attention, and walked gracefully into the courtyard of the mansion with small steps.

The tall and straight tree trunks on both sides of the courtyard form a tree-lined road with a length of several hundred meters, and the oily and green bushes are pruned into a beautiful shape.Bushes of Centifolia rose surrounded the entire courtyard, forming a crimson ribbon.This spectacular scene is enough to rival Buckingham Palace.

In front of the house is an unusual fountain with rose petals floating on the water, and a five-meter-high statue of the goddess stands in the center.

Xunli turned her head slightly, and carefully looked at the statue of the goddess that interested her—Nike, the goddess of victory.The rumored Mr. Atobe must be a successful person with artistic sentiment.

The host of the dinner party stood in front of the carved gate to welcome the guests who came one after another——

The male protagonist is as young as Masashi, but he exudes a more majestic aura, as if born with a light that can burn people's eyes.A silver-gray suit made him tall, and his blue-purple hair and eyes added a unique and mysterious atmosphere to him.

Xun Li stared at the man's beautiful face in some surprise, and then from the corner of his eye, he looked at Masashi who was as imposing as the former.

The woman who leans intimately beside Atobe is also worthy of the resounding title of "Mrs. Atobe".Xun Li couldn't help but look at her twice more, and felt that the woman's facial features were somewhat similar to hers, although their personalities were far apart.

"Vanessa... Xunli? I didn't expect you to come!"

Xun Li looked at Mrs. Atobe without knowing why, her eyes suddenly changed the moment she touched her, and her tone became more excited, containing emotions of surprise.

Vanessa?This may be her English name.

"Yes, yes." She went up to meet Mrs. Atobe and let Mrs. Atobe hold her cold hand. All kinds of scattered memories suddenly filled her blank head.

The woman is her half-sister, Noriko Matsubara (Noriko Atobe), who is two years older than her.The Matsubara family is a prominent political family, with only three daughters in the family, and the benefits brought to both parties by marrying their daughters to the sons of business tycoons are clearly visible.

Since being forced to marry into the Akashi family, Xunli's mental state has been unstable, and her contact with the family has also been cut off.

"Xunli?"

"Ok?"

Confused by all kinds of memories, Xunli didn't have time to sort out the meaning in his mind, and was dragged back to the cruel reality by his elder sister Dianzi.

"Go in quickly, you are not in good health, be careful to catch a cold."

Xun Li nodded meekly with a smile.Although her biological mother is different, Noriko still loves her second younger sister who has just returned to Japan for a few years.

Her vigilance towards Dianzi was also relaxed a lot. Compared with her relatives, she might as well be wary of Masashi who has been by her side since just now.

He calmly dealt with the other distinguished guests, with a mocking smile on his face.Masashi hadn't paid her much attention since just now, but occasionally he would warn her not to go out of line with threatening eyes.

Probably fed up with the uninterrupted chatting and fake smiling faces, Xun Li's feet just moved to the side, and a hand with a bony joint tightly restrained her slender wrist.

"!"

"Did I warn you?" Masashi smiled unabated.

"I... I'm going to find Sister Dianzi." Xunli's attitude was a bit weak, but she puffed out her chest bravely—it's not a man-eater, so what are you afraid of!

The strength in his hand was slightly relaxed, and Xunli didn't care what his answer was, and he directly lifted the hem of the skirt and walked towards Dianzi, his back was stared hair-haired.

She asked for a glass of champagne from the waiter and drank it sullenly. The bitter liquid filled her mouth, and when it flowed into her stomach, it was accompanied by a burning temperature.

"Long time no see, you...have lost weight again." Dianzi looked at her and said distressedly.

She froze for a moment, not knowing what to reply.

"Why don't you choose to accept like me? Try to accept..."

Xun Li sneered disdainfully in his heart, the key was that both of them were unwilling to accept it.

The life attitudes of sisters who share the same fate after becoming wives are simply opposite.Noriko and her husband Keiji Adobe fell in love quickly after they got married, and she became his right-hand wife with a docile and family-friendly nature.

Seeing Xunli's reluctance to continue talking about marital happiness, Dianzi shut up helplessly.

"Champagne is not suitable for me, is there any dark beer?" Xun Li shook the empty crystal goblet, and changed the subject carelessly.

"=口=" Dianzi looked around in embarrassment, but luckily no one heard her comment just now. "Xunli, you really... haven't changed at all."

She chuckled a few times, the owner of this body is her, even amnesia can't change her personality and hobbies.

"Icewine (ice wine) actually? Sister, you are so considerate." Xun Li stared at the wine buried in the ice bucket on the table, and smiled deeper.

"Xunli—" She suddenly stopped her younger sister, who was getting thinner and thinner, and continued following the other's suspicious gaze, "I feel relieved seeing you like this."

……

"Ah."

Xunli felt the warmth in her eyes, and realized that her sister was probably the only person in the world who still cared about her.

The cold liquid gently passed through her throat, and the familiar light grape sweetness reminded her of the taste of her hometown.The memory hadn't quite come back yet, but her body couldn't forget certain important sensations.

Xunli put down his wine glass, looked around and found that Dianzi was nowhere to be seen, so he reluctantly walked in the direction of Masashi.

Suddenly, something hit her calf hard!

"Who is it? How dare you bump into this young master!"

Before realizing what hit her, the immature voice of a child had already sounded.

Xunli lowered his head 45 degrees, and saw a young master who was seven points similar to Keiji Atobe, with a particularly obvious tear mole under his right eye.

The aura in his little body is natural, presumably he will become the king that everyone is looking forward to in the future.Now—he will be four years old, he is nothing more than a short-legged little bean at best.

The crystal clear face was like a soft white dough, the delicate eyebrows were tightly locked, and the kid's arrogant attitude made Xunli have the urge to play a mischievous.

"what's your name?"

"Why did I want to tell you, young master?" The young master subconsciously touched the mole of tears and said solemnly.

"..." She has a sense of crisis, "You're the kid from the Atobe family, aren't you?"

"You, how can you use such an unglamorous title!"

Xunli held his forehead speechlessly, it is not a good habit to have a language addiction at a young age.

"You haven't apologized yet!"

"It's impolite to ask the elders to apologize. Besides, you didn't pay attention to it, right?" Anyway, no one around noticed this corner, so Xun Li calmly teased//played the young master. "Come on, call my little~aunt~"

If the young master's face was contempt just now, it was panicked now.

"You, you can't be my aunt!"

"If you don't believe me, ask your mommy." Xun Li pinched his fleshy cheek, it felt so good!

The young master was so angry that his face turned green.

"It's too rude! Let go!"

"Tell me your name and I'll let you go."

……

It's a pity, the young master still didn't reveal his name in the end, he just gave Xun Li an angry look, and Li Li quickly walked away.

"Tsk." Xun Li looked at his back regretfully.

"Xunli—"

Her body suddenly stiffened like a block of ice, and the joy that was overflowing a few minutes ago disappeared after hearing the man's voice.

"Xunli, come here."

Turning around, I saw a tall young man reaching out to her——

The hand that controlled her young life, the hand that easily crushed her freedom and dignity.

Xun Li swore that she would leave one day.No matter what method or cost.
