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

No matter how long you spend with the man next to you, your feeling for him is still the same.His smile only frightened her—as if some kind of bone-chilling cold had swept through every corner of her body, every drop of blood, every cell was screaming madly under the skin.

Xun Li could hardly imagine his fate of violating Yashi.She involuntarily walked towards him, and when their cold fingers touched, Xun Li found out in despair that she had nowhere to escape.The strength with which the other party held her was more like declaring sovereignty - "You can't escape."

Obediently holding Masashi's arm, Xunli thoughtfully looked at the imposing middle-aged man in front of her. The remaining intuition in this body told her that there was some kind of connection between them in the past.

"Uncle, long time no see." Ya Shi's title made her suddenly realize.

Xunli lowered her head uncomfortably, is it a relative meeting tonight?Those who have impressions and those who have no impressions are all there!

"Is Xunli finally willing to go out?" Matsubara Haizhi, Xunli's biological father, looked at his daughter as if looking at a valuable commodity.

She nodded slightly, unwilling to answer.The people around Xunli have heard a little about her miserable life after marrying into the Akashi family, but they only know that her personality has changed drastically in the past two years.

As an ambitious and prestigious politician, Haizhi naturally wouldn't take his daughter's reluctance seriously.Xunli was the most unsatisfactory of his three daughters, and he used her as a bargaining chip to win connections to marry the son of today's business tycoon. This deal was so cost-effective that he was secretly happy for a long time.

Thinking of this, Haizhi's eyes became a little more friendly.Thanking Masashi with a smile——

"My little girl has caused you a lot of trouble, right? Thank you for your tolerance."

"Damn tolerance!"

Xunli glanced at his father with hellish eyes, the knuckles of his hand holding the goblet turned white.

But Masashi replied gently, "She is a good wife." Xun Li, who is not afraid of death, almost hit him with a goblet—impulsion is a devil, for her life, it is not too late to take revenge for ten years!

……

The dinner lasted until eleven o'clock, and after Haizhi, Xunli had to deal with a large number of high-society people who were said to be "distant relatives" of himself and Masashi.After all, he didn't grow up in this kind of atmosphere, Xun Li smiled more and more reluctantly.

In addition to the relatives who have their own thoughts, what is even more challenging is the famous lady who is not letting go of Masashi. While showing the most perfect side to her sweetheart, the barbed compliments in her words silenced Xunli - she has always been bad Words, living abroad twice as long as in Japan.

Xun Li cursed "F**K" in silence, aggrieved, and her resentment towards Masashi deepened.

The result of physical strength and mental overdraft was that Xunli fell asleep in the car.By the way, on the way back she and Masashi had to get into a car with everyone "watching".

It was rare for Yashi to see Xunli acting so abnormally, so he took a second look at her while she was dying of sleep.

From the moment she was forced to marry into the Akashi family, she never showed this defenseless appearance in front of him.Either with a cold face or mania, and even doing something that hurts himself.

The period of being pregnant with Seijuro was very tiring for the couple, Masashi was afraid that the unborn child would have an accident, so he let her all the time——

It's different now.

It has been nearly a year since Seijuro was born, and he no longer needs to use "protecting the child" as an excuse to suppress his dissatisfaction.

Xun Li, who was ignorant of Masashi's abacus, turned his head to the side and continued to take a nap in a more comfortable position.The velvet rose that was different from the ear slipped to his hand along the soft hair, and he squeezed the rose tightly in the palm of his hand, the poor flower was crumpled out of shape.

——Be patient for a while, he can even find any reason to send her out, anyway, this woman who hates restraint doesn't like to stay in Akashi's house.

Masashi's mouth showed a cold smile. It was because of his mistake that he agreed to marry the unreasonable second daughter of the Matsubara family.Her little sisters are much more sensible than her.

**

There was a faint smell of ice wine in the air, and the cool morning breeze blew through the curtains, gently blowing the corners of the woman's clothes.

She was lying in her own bedroom. The [-]-square-meter empty room was so desolate that only furniture remained, and the monotonous white was its only color.

Xun Li blinked slowly a few times, and gradually regained his confused consciousness.She had a dull headache from the long absence of alcohol, but not fainting.

She sat up and stared blankly at the empty white wall for a while, as if there was an answer she wanted on it.

"I see."

She and Masashi slept in separate rooms most of the time, except for a necessary "procedure" every two weeks.How can a person with severe cleanliness be willing to share a room with someone he hates?For the first time, Xun Li felt grateful to Masashi - even though it was ironic.

While rubbing her stiff neck, she slowly got out of bed, the clothes on her body were changed into silk pajamas at some point, her memory of last night's car was blank.

Xun Li glanced at the electronic clock on the table, it was Monday, and according to the pitiful information left in her mind - she was currently unemployed.

Living under someone else's roof, eating and drinking is really uncomfortable. How can Kaoru, who doesn't even have a financial foundation, leave Akashi's house smoothly?She had no choice but to realize that the idea of ​​getting enough food and clothing by herself was too unrealistic.

But that's not a bad thing.

Without Masashi's surveillance, Xunli felt refreshed even in the face of the servants who were watching her every move.

She finished her breakfast in a regular manner, and told the servant in a stable mood that she wanted to be alone, but in fact, she wanted to take this opportunity to visit Akashi's house and firmly grasp the specific direction.It seems that these people are afraid of rushing her - she can't see any electronic products in her range, and paper and pens have become rare items.Xun Li is like a troubled lady living in the backward Middle Ages.

Her first destination was a study three times larger than a bedroom.It can be seen that Masashi is not just a shrewd businessman, he also has an almost paranoid preference for literature.

Xunli only pushed the door lightly, and entered the study easily, which was beyond her expectation.They didn't think of her, the young wife of the Akashi family, as an intellectual with ink in her stomach.

In fact, before she returned to Japan, she was just an ordinary intern who had just entered the society and occupied a small position in a bank.

The mahogany bookshelves arranged in a circle against the wall are nearly three meters high. If you want to get the books on the top floor, you can only walk to the second floor by stepping on the spiral staircase.The neatly arranged books are divided into dozens of categories, except for Japanese and English, any language Xunli can think of at the moment can be found here.Whether it is classic literature, astronomy and geography, textbooks, illustrated books of biology, whether they are present or centuries ago, they all seem to have a place in the library.

The antique design and British style made her like it more and more, but she felt awkward when she thought that this was a place where Masashi often haunted.

Xunli resisted the urge to jump on the sofa and hug a pillow to read novels, and stared at the book with a gold-plated hard cover on the table, thinking how many years he would have to save to make such a big book. library.

She pushed out of the study lightly, the entire third floor was quiet during the day, and there was no shadow of a servant swaying in front of her.Xunli was satisfied to find that the roots of the ears were much cleaner.

Unknowingly, she walked to the end of the corridor, and there was only a dark brown carved door directly in front of her. She secretly guessed that it was a bedroom.

"Could it be that Akashi Masashi will be the Kanaya Zojiao?"

Xun Li was taken aback by this thought, but couldn't hide the curiosity in his heart.She turned the doorknob in a mysterious way—

The first thing that caught her attention was not the King Size bed, but the cradle placed by the floor-to-ceiling windows—it was not like the colorful and ordinary cradles commonly seen on the market.

It has a very simple design and is also made of mahogany.It is so inhumane to give a baby a hard bed!

The whole room is not arranged like a baby's room at all.Esoteric books replaced children's toys, and except for baby clothes, feeding bottles and diapers were completely missing.

The little red-haired baby was sleeping peacefully in the cradle, covered with a warm woolen blanket.Only a few months old, he is small and fragile, unable to withstand a little toss.

"Seijuro..."

Xun Li's eye sockets were moist.Her blank mind was completely occupied by this familiar yet unfamiliar name that had long been engraved deep in her soul.

Bloodlines are a wonderful thing.Even though she was deprived of the qualifications to be a mother from the time she gave birth to the child, and she didn't even have time to see the child.After many months, she can still recognize him at a glance.

Xunli's round fingertips carefully touched the baby's cheeks as soft as cotton candy.Human beings always subconsciously feel compassion for newborns, especially women, who instantly cast a layer of maternal brilliance.

She stroked the baby's new-growth hair and looked at him carefully-the child and his father were almost carved out of the same mold, but this did not affect her liking.

The little guy lifted his thick eyelashes, and his red eyes, as clear as garnet, stared at the strange woman he saw for the first time—his mother.

His expression was very calm, and there was no sign of crying.The little pink mouth even pursed into a cute and playful arc.Just over six months old, he still can't recognize people, and he is full of interest in everything in this world.

His soft and tender paws are curved, and he gently grasps a cold finger of Xunli-this is the baby's grasping reflex.There was an indistinct babbling sound from his mouth, as if he had just discovered something interesting.

"What a well-behaved child." Satisfaction welled up in his heart, and this was the first time Xunli smiled from the bottom of his heart since he lost most of his memory.At the same time, a burst of bitterness and anger also made her full of resentment.

Xiaozheng is still too young, how could Yashi lock him in the room alone?Who is responsible if he gets hungry and cries?

For the baby's mental development, what he needs most now is the mother's arms and the soft voice of the father.Even if he can't walk or speak, he is a little life of flesh and blood!

Xunli carried him out of the cradle, resting his little head on her shoulders.She patted his back lightly rhythmically, and the little guy's smile became even brighter.

"Xiao Zheng, I am mother."

Xun Li kept repeating this sentence in a low voice, wanting the child to firmly remember her existence.Seijuro—is her only support in this world.It's the reason she wants to live.

But that man... took away even this poor right from her.

"Little Master!!"

"lady!?"

The maid's scream interrupted her thoughts.Xunli stood there at a loss, and found a large group of servants blocking the door, all of them were staring at her with fear, for fear that she would lead the young master to do some dangerous actions.

"Hurry up, tell Master Yashi!" The old housekeeper turned his head and ordered.His tone was not as calm as before, "Please don't be impulsive, put down the young master—"

"What are you talking about? He's my child."

Xun Li looked at them strangely and said it as a matter of course.Xiaozheng in his arms was disturbed and cried out impatiently.She patted him on the back quickly, and signaled them not to mess around with reproachful eyes.

"But..." the housekeeper and the maid looked at each other, "You have never stepped into this room before."

"I don't care what happened before, I want to take care of him from now on." As an unimaginably young mother, her cub-protecting mentality made her extremely resolute. "I don't have a job right now anyway."

"Yes, but!"

The problem is——Master Akashi specifically asked them not to let the young lady get close to the young master, in case of any accident...their lives can't afford QAQ! !
