Vermouth said irritably:
"Why don't you seem to care about how Ran addresses Yukiko? Doesn't she also call Yukiko 'older sister'?"
"That's different!"
Xia Ye argued forcefully, saying:
"Yukiko and I had nothing to do with each other before. I was her peer. You, teacher, are my own teacher, a generation above me. If Ran calls you 'older sister,' then isn't she also a generation above me?"
"Pfft-"
Vermouth couldn't help but laugh out loud on the other end of the phone, and said with a hint of amusement:
"Dear teacher, what kind of strange way of saying that is? Don't mess with me. Let's just call each other by our own names. Okay, I have important things to do!"
"Okay~"
Xia Ye pretended to be reluctant to agree, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she had succeeded in her scheme.
Xiao Lan witnessed this scene by chance.
The girl's keen intuition, combined with various pieces of information, quickly made her understand Xia Ye's intentions.
This made her roll her eyes.
I'm speechless.
This scoundrel always insists that Chris is his teacher.
This has nothing to do with me.
Rather, it's because he cares a lot.
After all, he didn't want to seduce Vermouth from the Black Organization, but rather Vermouth who was his teacher!
hum!
He wanted to seduce his teacher.
It's really a bit perverted!
This bad thing!
Vermouth was unaware of Lan's assumptions. Seeing that Xia Ye was no longer concerned about seniority, her voice became a little more serious, but not overly so:
"Xia Ye, I went back to the US for a few days and I'm not in Japan. I have a simple task for me in two days, could you help me with it?"
"A simple task?"
Xia Ye frowned and asked in confusion:
"Why don't we just find an ordinary member to do the simple tasks? Why are you so concerned about this, teacher?"
"Besides, Le, Chianti, and Cohen are fine too, right? Even if you don't trust them, Bourbon is always an option. Although that guy is a bit hard to trust, he's still capable of handling ordinary missions!"
Xia Ye rattled off several wine names in one go.
That's why Conan isn't here.
otherwise.
That guy's brain probably can't keep up!
"Are you finished?"
Vermouth's voice was helpless, and she scolded playfully:
"Why are you talking so much nonsense now? This is a task I've been in charge of for several years. Although I don't manage it much anymore, I still help out sometimes. As my student, just tell me if you'll do it or not?"
"Let's do it! Of course we'll do it!"
Xia Ye's expression changed instantly, her tone becoming increasingly solicitous:
"Teacher, I will treat whatever you ask me to do as the most important thing! Don't worry!"
Xiao Lan pouted across from them, looking disgusted.
Even if this guy is your sweetheart and you have all the filters on him, it's still hard to keep up with his shamelessness. Sure enough, sweet words spoken to you don't sound cheesy!
Xiaolan had some inexplicable realizations!
the other side--
Vermouth coughed lightly and said calmly:
"Well said!"
"But sweet talk doesn't work on me!"
Xiaolan pouted again, her beautiful eyes sharp.
Chris's sweet words were useless, but even from the phone, you could hear the upbeat tone in her voice, clearly indicating that she was very happy!
This shows that even a cold and ruthless woman like Sister Chris cannot be completely immune to the sweet words of a man she likes!
And it won't feel cheesy at all!
Xiaolan had some inexplicable realizations again!
"The mission is as follows—"
Vermouth quickly assigned tasks.
She was afraid that Xia Ye would say something strange again.
It wasn't that she was shy; if she and Xia Ye were alone together, who knows who would be flirting with whom?
But now Xiaolan is here.
Being told those things by Xia Ye in front of her always made her feel awkward, like she was being caught looking for a man in front of her daughter.
You know what tequila is, right?
"Agave?"
A tall, muscular man with a thick beard, a distinctive chin, a pronounced Kansai accent, and a penchant for wearing black suits and trench coats, just like Gin, quickly appeared in Xia Ye's mind.
"That's right——"
Vermouth continued:
"He'll be going back to Full Paradise Company in two days to make a deal with someone. All you need to do is meet him there, it's that simple!"
"A whole heaven?!"
Xiao Lan exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong, Xiaolan?"
Vermouth was also surprised. Could it be that Xiaolan had some connection with Mantiantang?
"Sister Chris—"
Xiaolan came to her senses and told the truth:
"My dad was in charge of overseeing a game called 'Mantiantang' (漫天堂), so they invited him to their game launch event in two days. I'm going with him!"
"Is that so?"
Vermouth was conflicted.
Although this tequila deal was conducted in secret, who knows if something might go wrong?
What if I accidentally hurt Xiaolan?
"Xia Ye, remember to protect Xiao Lan. As for the mission, if it will affect Xiao Lan, just give up on it!"
Vermouth made a decisive choice!
"teacher!"
Xia Ye was a little jealous and said with a "resentful" tone:
"You only care about Xiaolan, why don't you care about me? I'm your only student!"
Why are you jealous?
Vermouth said irritably:
“I taught you everything, and you’ve already mastered your craft. Now that you’re so strong, what’s wrong with you taking care of Xiaolan, who’s such a delicate little girl?”
A delicate girl?!
Xia Ye was dumbfounded.
Xiao Lan was taught by me.
With Xiaolan's current strength.
Even if you go all out, you'll probably get beaten down by her very quickly. You call yourself a weak woman?
"Sister Chris~"
Xiao Lan blushed, feeling embarrassed herself; Sister Chris was being way too dramatic. 0.2
"Thank you for your concern--"
"I can take good care of myself!"
"Ok!"
Vermouth smiled and said:
"This mission shouldn't be too dangerous. Xia Ye will accompany you; just treat it like a date. Don't worry, he'll handle anything that happens."
"I understand, Sister Chris!"
Xiao Lan nodded obediently. Facing Sister Chris, she felt more and more like she was facing her mother, and a gentle and considerate version of her mother. This feeling was really wonderful!
"so be it!"
Vermouth begins her farewell:
"Just have fun, don't worry about anything else. Also, I'll be going back in a few days, and I'll bring you a gift. You can tell me what you want. And I'll prepare a gift for your mom too!"
"Yes, thank you, Sister Chris!"
Xiaolan's voice was sweet, and the smile on her face came from the heart.
"teacher!"
"What about mine?"
Xia Ye asked.
Don't worry, you'll be included!
Vermouth chuckled in response, then said goodbye to Xiaolan again before hanging up the phone.
Chapter 207 Xiaolan's Beauty Trap
Xia Ye hung up the phone.
I looked up and was startled.
Xiao Lan's eyes were pure and moist, like those of a cute and docile fawn. She gently pursed her small red lips and looked up at him. Her obedient and charming appearance was captivating.
He was about to speak.
Xiao Lan, however, took the initiative to hug her. Her light blue eyes were like water, and the cute girl suddenly had a touch of charming allure similar to her mother.
Xia Ye understood.
The little girl is using her beauty to seduce him!
I just don't know what she's trying to do.
"Summer Leaves~"
Xiaolan spoke, her voice sweet and cloying, several times sweeter than usual, clearly a sales pitch, but—
Xia Ye likes it very much!
"Ahem, what's the matter?"
Xia Ye casually put her arm around Xiao Lan's waist, her eyes filled with a smile, calmly watching to see what Xiao Lan wanted to ask of her.
