"What about in half a year? If Kiyono Lin doesn't achieve it, what will you do?"
"Didn't you hear what her mother just said? Whether Kiyono Lin wants to or not, the Kiyono family is hers. With that in mind, her mother will not harm her no matter what, so I don't need to do anything deliberately."
"What if she's harmed?" Jiutiao Meijie continued to ask.
"Then I'll have to apply for an action permit from you."
"What are you going to do?"
"See to what extent Kiyono Lin wants to take her revenge," Dubian Che said.
"As an heir to the family, enjoying everything the family brings, yet not willing to contribute to it, do you think that's right?"
"It's hard to determine right or wrong in such matters. A person is first and foremost themselves, whether as parents or children. Is it wrong to want to be oneself? She hasn't completely disregarded familial affection, after all."
Jiutiao Meijie placed her hands on his shoulders, and their posture was no longer that of a standard dance move.
"If only you really were Kiyono Lin's twin, then all problems would be solved, and I wouldn't have had such a hard time as a child."
"That might have been quite terrible."
"If Kiyono Lin and I were twins, I would have grown up with you, and maybe would have secretly done some illegal things." Dubian Che's hand, which was around her slender waist, gently tightened, pulling their bodies closer together.
"What kind of illegal things?" Jiutiao Meijie's voice became excited and mysterious, as if she was about to confess an unbearable desire deep in her heart.
"Having kids too young?"
"I don't understand, make it clearer." She teased him.
"We'll talk about it when we get back," Dubian Che's lips brushed her ear, "tonight, let me show you just how many filthy words I know."
"If it's not filthy enough, sister won't be satisfied, and you'll be punished later."
The dance ended, and Mrs. Jiutiao sought Dubian Che for a dance.
"I need to get an action permit from Meijie first," he said
"Go ahead." Jiutiao Meijie was a little dry-mouthed, sipping lemon water.
Mrs. Jiutiao was dressed seductively and lavishly, her shoulders exposed, white and enticing, and her chest bulging.
Dubian Che kept his gaze elsewhere, maintained a distance, and placed his hands just where they should be. Thɪs chapter is updated by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
"Relax a little, you're so tense, I might think you care a lot about me."
Dubian Che pretended not to hear: "Did you want to see me for something?"
"A bunch of smart brats," Mrs. Jiutiao sighed, the scent of red wine drifting faintly.
She said in a voice made more alluring by a lowered tone:
"How did your discussion with Meijie go, regarding the matter earlier?"
"We didn't discuss much, just exchanged a few words, mostly flirting."
"Flirting? Tell me more."
Dubian Che remained silent, dancing properly along with the rhythm.
Mrs. Jiutiao's gown fluttered as she elegantly spun around, then landed back in his arms, carrying a warm, fragrant aroma.
"As for you three and your feelings, I don't want to pry too much. As long as Meijie is willing, it doesn't matter how many lovers you have."
"Your attitude surprises me a little."
"I don't want to argue with my daughter," Mrs. Jiutiao smiled faintly, "In the Jiutiao Main Family, it's just my daughter and me. As long as Meijie properly takes over the Jiutiao family, everything else is up to her. It's the same for the Kiyono. Too bad."
Clearly, Mrs. Kiyono was the Kiyono being referred to by Mrs. Jiutiao.
"Even if Kiyono Lin despises liars and doesn't want to deal with such people, will taking over the Kiyono family really be a problem?" Dubian Che asked.
"That child only occasionally meets her own mother for a day or two, what do you think?"
"As long as she's willing to take over, there's always a way. Besides, she can see through lies and is in a high position. People below her must answer her questions, they can't deceive her."
"It would be great if things were that simple," Mrs. Jiutiao sighed, "I never expected you could make both sisters fall in love with you."
"It's nothing amazing, I fell in love with them, too."
"Like the time I was boating on the mountain lake?" Mrs. Jiutiao was unsurprised.
"Boating on the mountain lake?"
"Yes, at that time I was in love, having fallen for the blue sky and the clear lake water."
After saying that, she laughed cheerfully as if she'd succeeded in a prank and curiously probed, "Does Meijie know you like her?"
"She knows, we fight about it every day."
"It sounds like fun, what do you argue about?"
"Do you love me? Yes. Who do you love more, her or me? You, you." These were words said in bed.
"Love me?" Mrs. Jiutiao playfully asked.
"Love you, with respectful love."
"That's what I meant," Mrs. Jiutiao blinked innocently, "Could Mr. Dubian possibly have other feelings for me?"
"You're very charming, if I didn't know Meijie."
"So I'm not charming after you know Meijie?"
"Would you find your own mother charming?"
"Of course." Mrs. Jiutiao nodded simply, with the tone of a young girl, "When my mother was alive, I thought she was the most beautiful person in the world."
"I also acknowledge you're the most beautiful woman in the world, Mother Superior."
Suddenly Mrs. Jiutiao leaned closer to Dubian Che's ear and said in a low, joyful voice:
"I support everything Meijie does, so if you, Mr. Dubian, anger her, I will stand with her. Do you understand what mom means?"
"I've always understood your meaning."
"No," Mrs. Jiutiao moved away from Dubian Che, smiling, "Some things, you will never understand."
"I know more than you imagine," Dubian Che said.
Mrs. Jiutiao gave his slightly smiling face a glance and skipped over the topic.
"But as long as you can satisfy Meijie, I will be satisfied with you, and there will never be a case where Meijie agrees for you to have lovers, but I object."
