After getting into the car, Tokatsu and Mie sat in the back row, while Masaki and Munakata sat in the driver's seat and the other sat in the passenger seat.

Holding her precious daughter in her arms, Mei Hui asked worriedly: "Xia Xia, is your cold better? Is it serious? Mom sees you have lost so much weight."

"Nope." Tokia buried her face in Meihui's chest and rubbed it vigorously, "Mom, you don't have to worry about me at all, Mr. Chairman—"

"It doesn't matter if you lose weight, Mom has already turned down all the invitations, and I will make up for you at home during the holidays." Mei Hui said softly.

Blinking, Tokia said seriously: "Mom, I really haven't lost weight, the chairman—"

"Oh, that's right," Mei Hui clapped her hands, narrowing her eyes with a smile, "Grandpa is calling, the plane is at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, we will pick him up together then. This year we don't have to go to the island to celebrate the New Year. "

Blinking quickly again, Tokia nodded and said obediently, "Okay."

Zhenghui, who was sitting in the front row, hummed through his teeth: "It was completely taken over, Munakata."

Munakata pushed his glasses, and the calm expression on his face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end: "Yes." Anyway, no matter what kind of Shura field he would face tonight, he was well prepared mentally.

Knowing his wife's temper, Zhenghui glanced at the rearview mirror and said to Shixia with a smile, "Xiaxia, do you have anything to eat? Let's go together after picking up Grandpa tomorrow?"

"Eat what mom made! By the way, mom, let me tell you, Mr. Chairman, he--" the words "cooking is delicious" at the end were cut off again by Mei Hui.

"Well, Mom will make you whatever Xia Xia wants to eat." As she said that, Mei Hui held Shi Xia's small face and kissed it, her face was full of love and intimacy.

Sighing inwardly, Tokia made eye contact with Munakata through the rearview mirror.

Mr. Chairman, I can only help you so far.

……Thanks for your hard work.

In the following time, Meihui kept asking about Shixia's school affairs. The mother and daughter chatted happily, but the two men sitting in the front row couldn't get in a word.

Munakata wisely didn't open his mouth from the beginning, but Zhenghui insisted on inserting into the topic of the two of them with a stern face, but Meihui gave him a cold look and then obediently shut his mouth.

"Your Excellency was also eaten to death by Madam." Zongxiang said thoughtfully looking out the window.

Zhenghui snorted coldly, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "The word 'also' can reveal a lot of things, Zongxiang. Ah, speaking of it, you are Xia Xia's boyfriend, call uncle to listen—"

"Honey." Meihui who was sitting in the back straightened her hair, with a careless expression, "How long will it take? Chen also said that he is already waiting outside."

Zhenghui said silently in his heart, "Don't you know how long it will be? Why do you still ask me?" But knowing the consequences of saying this, he mustered up his energy to answer: "Hurry up, we have reached the foot of the mountain." Come on, we'll be there in 5 minutes."

"Don't talk while driving, it's easy to distract your attention." Mei Hui reminded lightly.

Zhenghui nodded quickly: "I know, I know, it's my wife who cares about me."

Shixia kindly reminded him: "Father, I think you think too much."

Munakata, on the other hand, wondered silently in his heart whether he should feel sorry for himself being so unpopular with his future mother-in-law, or should he thank her for letting him not call Zhenghui uncle.

I really can't say it.

The car stopped in front of a hot spring club.

As soon as he got out of the car, Tokia was shivering from the cold wind on the mountain.But Munakata naturally walked over and grabbed her hand, about to stuff it into his pocket.

"Cough cough." Meihui coughed twice, and Tokia quickly pulled her hand out of Munakata's pocket, and ran to her mother in a brisk manner, holding her arm coquettishly, "Mom, it's so cold outside, we Come in quickly, okay? By the way, did you say that Chen is also here?"

Meihui nodded, and walked inside with Shixia: "Didn't Chen also go on vacation with you? Anyway, it's okay, so I'll let him come with me."

Looking at the mother and daughter walking in front, Zhenghui patted Munakata on the shoulder and sighed: "I don't know how to comfort you, anyway, I wish you good luck."

Munakata nodded: "From all aspects, I'm already mentally prepared."

"Do you know, Munakata, since I had Xiaxia, my position in Meihui's heart has plummeted. So, if your mental preparation is not strong enough, you'd better not go in now." Zhenghui said seriously.He believed in Munakata's character, but...it was hard to say that Meihui doted on his daughter.He said, "I have to tell you that Mei Hui is a difficult person to deal with."

Munakata pushed his glasses and replied calmly: "I know, it is said that Your Excellency has been chasing him for a long time."

Zhenghui gritted his teeth: "Xia Xia, that stinky girl—"

Just as he was talking, Bingshi came out with a bit of surprise on his face: "What are you two doing standing outside?"

"Have a conversation between men." Zhenghui straightened his collar, looked inside and asked Himuro in a low voice, "How does your little aunt look like?"

Himuro replied in bewilderment: "You're so pleasant, I just complained that I can't have a massage after soaking like in a beauty salon, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, take good care of me, your little aunt is just a monkey jumping into the sky now, and she will go to heaven at one o'clock." Zhenghui said, covering his face.

Bingshi nodded half-understanding, and then said to Zhenghui earnestly: "I think you are the one who wants to go to heaven, dare to say that about my little aunt."

Zhenghui couldn't help shivering.

Turning his gaze to Munakata, Himuro narrowed his eyes, and said to him in a very unhappy tone: "I still think I should do something?"

"What?" Munakata was puzzled.

The ice room's fist swung towards his face.

"Bam—"

Following Meihui into the room they had booked in advance, Shixia yawned as soon as she lay down on the tatami: "Aha—so sleepy."

"Is it because of the car?" Mei Hui sat down beside her and asked softly while touching her head.

"Probably." Tokia changed his position and pillowed on Meihui's thigh, closing his eyes like a cat with a satisfied expression on his face.She asked lazily, "Mom, do you have a problem with Mr. Chairman? Whenever Dad and I mention him, you change the subject."

Meihui replied without thinking: "No." No wonder.

"Eh?" Tokia sat up and looked at Meihui with wide eyes, "But Mom, you—"

"Xia Xia," Mei Hui didn't answer her words, but asked a little strangely, "Don't you like clothes with high collars? Why are you wearing this today?"

When the subject was forcibly changed, Xia didn't have time to react, she subconsciously grabbed her collar and replied dully: "Because... because it's very cold today! This way the neck won't be cold!"

Mei Hui's eyes flickered, but she didn't expose her daughter's clumsy lies.Because she doesn't like clothes with high collars, Shixia always prepares a lot of scarves to wear in winter. This white sweater on her body should be the only one with a high collar left. The reason why it was left was because of her chest. The pattern on the front is too cute so I don't want to throw it away, but it's also a bottom-of-the-box item in the cabinet.

Uncomfortably tightening his collar, Tokia also forcibly changed the subject: "Mom, aren't we here to soak in the hot spring? Shall we go now?"

"We'll go after the waiter brings the bathrobe." Meihui touched Shixia's head with a bit of worry on her face, "Do you want to take a rest before that? You're not in good spirits, are you?" Because the final exam review is too tiring?"

No, it's just that I just unlocked the office play with someone... Of course Tokia absolutely couldn't say that, she just replied bitterly: "Well, yes..." She felt guilty when she said this.

Lying on Meihui's lap again, Tokia said to her seriously: "Mom, actually Mr. Chairman is really kind to me."

Mei Hui stroked her hair and asked casually: "How good is it?"

"Well, that's right, you always let me go, you will satisfy all my powerless demands, you will carefully remember my preferences and buy me gifts, by the way, before when I had a cold and a fever, you took good care of me , the food they cook is also very delicious, in short, she is gentle no matter what, making me feel pampered like a little princess." Except on the bed.

Meihui nodded, but said to Shixia very seriously: "But Xiaxia, have you ever thought that you have always been your parents' little princess?"

"Eh?"

"It's true that he was kind to you, but it's an indisputable fact that he made you sad and even sick because of it." Meihui's tone was flat, but it also hit the nail on the head, "I don't know Munakata Reishi well, but Since Dad and Chen Ye are close friends with him, I can still trust his character."

At this time, the waiter in the guild hall knocked on the door and brought two sets of bathrobes.

Tokia got up and knelt in front of Meihui, tilting his head and asked, "Then mom doesn't hate Mr. Chairman, right?"

Meihui unfolded a bathrobe and said unhurriedly: "We'll discuss this later. You can change into the bathrobe first, let's go to the hot spring." Saying this, Meihui stretched out her hand and gently pinched Shixia's face.

Shixia tightened his clothes and said dryly, "I, I'll change after I'm done soaking?"

With a thought, Mei Hui's expression darkened: "Xia Xia, did you just say that Zong Xiang personally took care of you when you were sick?"

"Yes." Shi Xia nodded, and then suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Are you two together on Christmas night?" Mei Hui stared closely at Tokia's eyes, her eyes were so sharp that she had nowhere to hide.

Tokia, who subconsciously wanted to deny it, suddenly remembered what Munakata said in the private message that Munakata had sent her before, so under Meihui's questioning eyes, she reluctantly, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod gently.

Mei Hui's eyes widened: "Then you—"

Tokia turned his head away, nodded again, then turned back abruptly, took Meihui's hand, and begged pitifully: "Mom, don't blame Mr. Chairman, I actually proposed it on my own initiative, and he kept saying I'm a child, please be good and don't make trouble—"

"I got it." Mei Hui brushed her hair, her tone had recovered her composure.She said, "Changing clothes, let's go to the hot spring."

"Mom—" Shixia still wanted to say something, but Meihui's expression had clearly told her that she didn't want to mention this matter now.So, she could only nod obediently, "Got it, I'll change it."

Looking at the marks on her daughter's chest and neck, complex emotions flashed in Meihui's eyes.

When the mother and daughter came out of the hot spring, they happened to meet the statue of Zhenghui Zong and the ice room in the corridor.

Seeing that Munakata's face was obviously beaten, Tokia ran over and asked anxiously and distressedly: "What's the matter? Did you go to fight? Does it hurt? I'll go to the waiter for some medicine to reduce swelling. Can you wipe it off?" As she spoke, she pulled Munakata towards the front desk.

Munakata pulled her back, rubbed her head and said with a smile, "It's not a serious injury, don't worry." Himuro still didn't hit her hard, otherwise his face would have been half swollen.

"Oh, young man, shall we also love my wife?" Zhenghui said with a smile while putting his arms around Meihui.

Mei Hui squinted at him and asked coldly, "Did I let you talk?"

Bingshi turned his head away, feeling that it was hard for him to hold back his laughter.

Throwing away Zhenghui's hand, Meihui walked over and said nonchalantly: "Since it's not something important, let's go." I don't know if this is the first time I've talked to Munakata since we met. In a word.She pulled Shi Xia back to her side, then changed her expression instantly, and her tone became gentle, "Go and eat, Xia Xia, didn't you just say you were hungry?"

Being pulled forward by Meihui, Tokia absent-mindedly responded and turned back to look at Munakata, and turned back only after seeing him showing a "relief" expression to herself.

"Oh," sighed and walked to Munakata, Himuro patted him on the shoulder and said sympathetically, "I think, compared to the punch I just gave, my little aunt's cold treatment is more heart-scratching." Yes. By the way, how is your little heart?"

"It's still within the tolerance range." Munakata said calmly.

Zhenghui put his hands in the sleeves of his bathrobe and looked up at the sky with infinite emotion: "I have a deep understanding of your little aunt's cold violence. I think back then—"

"I can already recite the ups and downs you went through while chasing my little aunt. Munakata, let's go eat." Himuro hooked Munakata's shoulder, ignored Masaki and walked to the restaurant.

The world is so cold—— Zhenghui sighed in his heart, and then followed the pace of the two of them.

During the meal, the atmosphere was terribly quiet, as if even the air was on the verge of explosion.His stomach almost drooped after a meal, and Himuro asked with a dry smile, "Well, why did you suddenly think of going to the hot spring today?"

"Because I wanted to come, so I came." Mei Hui replied as a matter of course.

"But why did even Munakata come together?" Himuro pointed to Munakata sitting beside him, and asked cautiously.

Meihui replied calmly: "I just want to see what kind of man can cheat my precious daughter away." She put down her chopsticks, and Shixia beside her shook her body following the "click" .

"Mr. Munakata," Meihui sat up straight, and finally looked straight at Munakata, "With all due respect, I have a very bad impression of you."

"I know." Munakata was not surprised at all.

"Really?" Meihui smiled slightly, but her aura did not weaken at all, "Then, if I said that I object to your continued relationship, you wouldn't be surprised?"

Suddenly his eyes widened, and Munakata's face flashed with shock.

Startled by Mei Hui's words, Tokia couldn't help but screamed: "Mom!"

"Xia Xia, don't interrupt." Meihui glanced lightly, even if Tokia had more to say, she could only obediently shut her mouth.She cast glances at Bingshi and Zhenghui for help, but the two told her clearly with their eyes: there is nothing they can do, and they are resigned to fate.

The shock on his face flashed past, and after Munakata quickly gave Tokia a comforting look, he kept his usual calm and calm attitude and asked Meihui: "Excuse me, what is the reason?"

"I'm not satisfied with you." Mei Hui picked up the teacup and took a sip gracefully, "It's that simple."

"Sorry, ma'am," Munakata pushed his glasses, "forgive me for not accepting this reason."

Fuck!Munakata, you are such a warrior!A brain client from Ice Room & Zhenghui.

"Oh, really?" Mei Hui said disapprovingly, "Then, what kind of reason can you accept? I heard Xia Xia said that you are very good to her. But just because you made her sad before, All your good things are insignificant to me."

Zongxiang smiled lightly: "You really love your daughter very much."

"That's natural."

"But ma'am, have you asked about Tokia's decision?"

"Her decision is not important. I think you also know that she is still young and easy to get stuck in her head. When she is a little older, she will know that there are many better men than you in this world."

"Even if she doesn't like it?"

Mei Hui glanced at him: "You are very confident." She used declarative sentences, her brows slightly frowned.

"If I didn't even have this confidence, I wouldn't sit in front of you." Munakata replied frankly.

Tokia sat by the side with his head down and didn't speak.What should I say?One is her boyfriend, and the other is her favorite mother. I feel uncomfortable helping either side, so it's better to keep silent.

"Really?" Mei Hui lowered her head and blew on the tea, watching the tea roots stand up in the water, "Then tell me, what am I thinking now?"

Zongxiang pondered for a moment and then calmly said: "Let's take the liberty of guessing, you should be angry, right?"

Tokia suddenly turned his head to look at Meihui.

Zhenghui sighed silently, should Munakata's eyes be so poisonous.

Meihui clenched the teacup unconsciously, then asked with a smile, "How do you know that?"

"No matter how you look at it, since you have such a big opinion on me, you must feel angry when you see me." Zongxiang smiled bitterly, and his tone was a little helpless, "If you are not angry, you You won't say anything against us continuing to communicate, will you?"

"Pa—" Mei Hui put down her teacup and stood up, "Xia Xia, go back to your room."

"Eh?" Unable to react, Tokia stood up quickly, "Now? So soon? Mom, wait for me, are you really going back now?"

"It's really like a vicious queen who separates princes and princesses, Xiao Meihui." Zhenghui propped his chin with one hand, and fiddled with the fish on the plate casually with chopsticks in the other hand.

Bingshi snorted coldly: "Anyway, you like her no matter what."

Zongxiang looked in the direction where the mother and daughter left, with a hint of thought in his purple eyes.

Following Meihui back to the room, Shixia asked her anxiously and angrily: "Mom, why did you say that kind of thing!"

"Xia Xia, are you questioning me now because of Munakata?" Mei Hui sat down at the low table and asked softly.

Shi Xia lowered his head, twisted the fingers of both hands together, and said in a very aggrieved tone, "No."

"Come and sit." Mei Hui sighed lightly, and patted the tatami in front of her.

Shixia obediently sat over, his expression full of grievance and puzzlement.

Mei Hui rubbed her head and asked, "Do you think Mom has gone too far?"

Shixia nodded, shook his head again, moved forward and hugged Meihui: "Mom, don't be angry, don't be angry, okay? I don't want you to be angry—" It's not that she doesn't know why Meihui is angry.It's been so long since that incident, she doesn't care anymore, but Meihui will feel wronged for her.And she was sick, so my mother must be very worried.

Seeing the baby girl curled up in her arms with wet eyes, Mei Hui touched her cheek and said distressedly: "Well, Mom is not angry anymore."

"Mom, don't be angry with Reis, okay? I really like him."

"……it is good."

Because I didn't sleep well for a few days, and I had an encounter with Munakata in the director's room in the afternoon, and after a while, I drove for another hour. Tokia was hugged by Meihui, so sleepy surged up.Her eyelids kept fighting, and her speech was a little vague: "Mom... I'm sleepy..."

"Then go to sleep." Mei Hui patted Shi Xia's back and said softly, "Mom is here with you."

"Um……"

Opening the door and going out, Meihui wasn't surprised at all when she saw Zongxiang standing outside.She asked lightly, "Have you waited long?"

"It's just that I've been waiting since dinner, it's not too long." Munakata replied politely.

Glancing at him, Mei Hui didn't speak, just turned around and went outside.Zongxiang followed her out quietly, and if she didn't speak, he would not make a sound.

Walking all the way into the tea room and waiting for the waiter to bring two cups of tea, Mei Hui held the teacup and said unhurriedly, "I've never seen Xia Xia like someone like you."

"Oh." Zongxiang whispered, but did not continue.He knew that Mei Hui had something to say when she asked him out.

Sure enough, after taking a sip of tea, Mei Hui spoke.She said: "Xiaxia is my child, so anyone who makes her wronged is unforgivable in my eyes. This is why I treated you very badly before. Can you understand?"

Munakata nodded, and said sincerely, "I also feel that I can't forgive myself for hurting her before."

"I really wanted Xia Xia to break up with you, but Xia Xia said, I am very happy with you, she really likes you, and she keeps telling me not to be angry with you-seriously, I At that time, I felt even more angry." Meihui glanced at Zongxiang lightly, and the latter couldn't help but shudder.

"Xia Xia hates others lying to her the most, but this time she can choose to forgive you, so I can understand how much she likes you." She pursed her lips and smiled, and Meihui's expression softened, " I always thought she was a child, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, she also has someone who can make her give up her principles and love her wholeheartedly."

"She hates being called a child." Munakata said with a smile.

"Well. I didn't like it since I was a child, like a little adult. When she was born, I was. To be honest, I thought I was still a child at the time. How could I be a good mother to take care of another child? So , every day when she grows up, I worry about whether I can take good care of her and protect her. She is so small, and I am afraid that I will hurt her too hard when I hold her in my arms. It only takes a blink of an eye She has grown up so much." After Meihui finished speaking with emotion, she suddenly changed her face, and said to Zongxiang who was focused, "I told you so much just to let you know that I have raised the baby for so many years. It's impossible for you to cheat easily, baby."

Munakata was stunned, he was a little caught off guard by the change of painting style too fast.Afterwards, he just sat there obediently, nodding in agreement with all Meihui's preaching.

"I won't object to you dating Xia Xia anymore, but if you do something wrong to her again, I will never let you go. Also, let me say, you know that Xia Xia is only 17 years old, right? She Are you young and ignorant and you don't know how to restrain yourself? Your self-control has been eaten by you? You young people." Mei Hui shook her head, as if she had forgotten that she had just said that she gave birth to Tokia when she was here.She said, "I saw a bruise on Xia Xia's back, and when I asked her what was going on, she said that it might have been when you pushed her on the table. The same goes for those little strawberries, both deep and shallow, you guys Young man—"

"You're not old either." Munakata held up his teacup, hiding the smile well.Is this the end of the crisis?

Rolling her eyes, Meihui cast her eyes on Zongxiang, with a little more playfulness in her eyes: "Speaking of which, I remember you are ten years older than Xiaxia?"

"Yeah." Munakata nodded cautiously with a chill behind his back.

Mei Hui smiled slightly, and said to him in a negotiating tone: "No matter what, you are our Xia Xia's boyfriend, call Auntie to come and listen."

Zongxiang was suddenly dumbfounded.

"Hurry up." Mei Hui urged impatiently.

Zongxiang opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to utter a single syllable: "A——"

"You child, you just learned to speak, do you want me to teach you? Quickly call Auntie." Mei Hui put on an unhappy look.

Reiji Munakata, this was the first time in his life that he encountered such a difficult matter.Calling a woman who is eight years older than me Auntie... and the phrase "you child" is too...

"A... Aunt..." After calling out, Zongxiang felt that he was not well.

However, the instigator showed a disgusted expression: "I feel like I'm ten years older all of a sudden, but seeing you look deflated, I reluctantly accept it."

Munakata finally understood who inherited Tokatsu's shamelessness.

Standing up, Mei Hui opened the door of the tea room: "I'm going to find Xia Xia's father, and Xia Xia will ask you to take care of her."

"I see."

Feeling a little thirsty in his sleep, Tokia got up and drank a glass of water, then shrank back under the blanket.She vaguely felt that there was someone in the bed, she didn't think much about it, but subconsciously arched towards that side.However, the soft muscles and flat chest of the other party made her wake up instantly.

"Mr. Chairman?" She called out tentatively.

Zongxiang opened his eyes, his voice was still hoarse: "Who do you think?"

"I thought it was my mother. Wait, wait, why did you come here?" Tokia asked in surprise.

Zongxiang held her in his arms, and his voice was still sleepy: "Your mother asked me to come here."

"It's a lie..." Shixia found it unbelievable.

Opening his eyes and looking at Tokatsu, Munakata patted her head and said, "I've already said that I won't lie to you again. Go to sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

"No, I won't let you sleep unless you explain clearly." Tokia got up and shook Zong Xiangfei desperately to get him up.

Helpless, Munakata had no choice but to get up too, and told her what happened tonight.After listening, Tokia asked dumbfounded: "You really called me mom and aunt?"

"You grabbed the key point." Zongxiang yawned and pushed her back under the bed, "Go to sleep."

"Oh good." Nodding, Shi Xia curled up in Zongxiang's arms, just thinking about it, she laughed out loud.

Being disturbed by her, Zongxiang simply supported his head, played with her hair with the other hand and asked with a smile, "What did you think of, so happy?"

"Well, I just thought, I feel happy when my mother is not angry. You don't know, I was so entangled when my mother pointed at you, so I didn't say a word at all. After I came back, I would act like a baby with my mother and let her Don't be angry with you, it seems to be very effective." After speaking, Tokia sniggered triumphantly.

Munakata also laughed: "Yeah." He grabbed Tokia's hand and put it on his lips and kissed it, and said softly, "It's all right now."

Tokatsu nodded, yawned in Munakata's arms and said lazily, "Then I'll go to sleep, good night—"

"Good night."

Waking up the next morning, Himuro saw Tokatsu and Munakata coming out of the same room and his jaw dropped in shock: "Damn it, did something happen last night that I don't know about?"

Shi Xia tilted his head: "Probably so."

At this moment, the door of another room also opened, and Zhenghui, who was flattering, and Meihui, who was disgusted with him, came out.Seeing all three people standing in the corridor, Mei Hui asked in surprise: "Why are you all here? Aren't you going to have breakfast?"

Himuro pointed at Mie, then at Tokika and Munakata, and finally made a goodbye expression: "I can't understand anymore."

"If you are stupid, you should read more." Meihui rolled his eyes at him, walked over to hold Tokia, "Let's go, Xiaxia, we have to pick up grandpa after dinner. Let's come together, too."

Pushing his glasses, Munakata smiled and agreed, "Yes, Auntie."

"Pfft—" Bingshi and Zhenghui sprayed out at the same time.
