"..."

So, I guessed wrong...

Looking at Asao Mai whose eyes were filling with tears, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He originally thought this girl was just a runaway brat who would eventually go home obediently after causing enough trouble, but it turns out she has no home to return to...

What kind of story lies within, Xu Fan didn't know, but he was sure this time she was truly telling the truth.

Her eyes right now couldn't deceive anyone.

"Phew."

Sighing deeply, Xu Fan smiled wryly and then said, "I was wrong before, sorry."

Due to his misjudgment, he indeed misunderstood this girl quite a lot, so Xu Fan straightforwardly apologized.

"It's okay, mainly because I didn't explain clearly to you."

Talking about these things with Xu Fan wasn't for sympathy, besides, her secrecy led to his misunderstanding, which was understandable.

Asao Mai wiped her eyes and then tucked away her sorrow.

Many things, Asao Mai hadn't planned to tell Xu Fan, plus, this moment in the taxi wasn't convenient to say much.

Asao Mai took a deep breath, a smile blossomed on her face, then said, "Alright, let's drop this topic."

"Don't worry, I'm very strong!"

"Okay..."

Seeing the girl's smiling face, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh along.

At this age, someone who falls on hard times yet can still laugh about it, is rare.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the destination.

The two went upstairs and soon returned home.

Seemingly because of the previous incident, a few little girls stayed at home, behaving unusually well, they cheered and greeted Xu Fan and Asao Mai as they returned.

Despite having no blood relation to these little girls, Asao Mai still pampered them a lot, she started playing with them, then told them the good news from Yoshida Group in a child-friendly version.

"Shiguo Yi! Is Oni-chan really that amazing?"

"Oni-chan is the best!"

After listening to Asao Mai's recounting of events, a few little girls looked at Xu Fan with shining eyes full of admiration.

Under their gaze, the reason was none other than the fairy-tale-like story Asao Mai told, in which Xu Fan was the hero defeating the Demon King.

"Oni-chan is so awesome, aren't you going to give Oni-chan a loving kiss?"

Not minding mixing with these little girls, Xu Fan seriously joked around with them.

A few little girls coordinated with him, giggled, and then pounced toward Xu Fan.

In an instant, laughter filled the small room.

Asao Mai watched from aside, her lips involuntarily curled up.

These days, evading Yoshida Group with these little girls, almost amounted to survival through struggle.

More troubles than smiles, only today could truly be counted as happy.

Seeing Xu Fan being pushed over by several little girls, Asao Mai shook her head in mock gratitude.

In his current form, it's hard to see him as someone who could single-handedly make a character like Yoshida Shun tremble.

"Oni-chan, if you marry Onee-san, will you have babies?"

"Oni-chan, isn't it the case that after kissing, babies appear?"

In the warmth, a few little girls with big questions asked slightly inappropriate topics to Xu Fan.

Listening from the side, Asao Mai's face flushed red.

She suddenly realized, the current scene resembled a family, and her role went without saying.

"Ahem!"

Recalling the incident on the street, Asao Mai coughed immediately.

She didn't want Xu Fan explaining anything to these little girls.

This matter had to be stopped at the source!

"Naughty little ones! Go play by yourselves! If you act like this, Oni-chan will dislike you!"

Too emotional, Asao Mai seemed a bit fierce.

Suddenly frightened, several little girls sulkily pursed their lips.

"Oni-chan, will you dislike us?"

Sulkily, they looked at Xu Fan.

Looking at their expressions, Xu Fan was both happy and sad.

Rubbing the heads of a few little girls, he said, "You're so adorable, Oni-chan certainly won't dislike you."

"As for the baby question, let me tell you a secret, Onee-san already has my baby in her belly."

"You!"

Hearing Xu Fan's words, Asao Mai almost cried out of anger.

Is this guy done teasing me! Why does he keep using this topic to mess with me!

Luckily, the little girls were obedient and didn't pursue the matter further.

Seeing the little girls walk away, Asao Mai finally let out a sigh of relief.

Immediately, with a face full of resentment, she looked at Xu Fan, her resentful gaze made Xu Fan feel wronged.

He defensively met her gaze and said, "Why are you looking at me? Didn't you say those words yourself?"

"..."

Listening to Xu Fan, Asao Mai teared up with grievance.

Regretting deeply inside, why did I say those words? Wasn't it just asking for trouble...

Giving up on arguing with Xu Fan, Asao Mai looked at him resentfully and said, "You take care of these little girls, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back soon."

"Why?"

Clearly still angry, Asao Mai heard Xu Fan's inquiry, didn't even turn her head, and directly left the room.

Xu Fan shrugged and walked over to the little girls.

He wasn't worried the little girl would get into trouble.

Now that even the Yoshida Group's trouble had been solved, this girl was smart enough that going out now shouldn't be problematic.

Taking care of a few little girls, not knowing how long had passed, suddenly the sound of the door opening came from outside.

Xu Fan turned his head, seeing the open door, Asao Mai was carrying a large bag of stuff inside.

"This..."

Right now, Xu Fan understood why the girl went out.

In her arms was a big bag, full of ingredients and food.

Obviously, her spree was intended to celebrate the resolution of Yoshida Shun's trouble.

Worried that with Asao Mai's physique, she might not be able to carry such a large bag, Xu Fan hurriedly went over and took it.

Not to mention, it's quite heavy; Xu Fan took it, and couldn't resist giving Asao Mai a glance.

"I say, although today is a special day, you surely can't cook all this stuff, right?"

Celebrate as it may be, but Xu Fan felt the girl was a bit too excited.

"Humph, who said I'm the one cooking."

At this moment, Asao Mai rolled her eyes and said.
