Chapter 53 Did You Cry？No!
Li Xia didn't wait too long. At the entrance of Mori Building, a group of dozens of people walked out of the gate, with black suits forming a human wall on both sides.
The staff who had already walked out of the door separated from each other and bent at ninety degrees to salute.
The woman who walked out of the crowd had red curly hair, a well-tailored and exquisite red dress for women, red high heels, and a confident smile. She looked more like a graphic model from a fashion week than a company president.
"Mori Mari." Li Xia leaned on the car seat and looked at Mori Mari who came out through the car window. She was more aura in real life than in the photo, powerful and confident, in sharp contrast to her husband Mori Norio.
"The bodyguards next to her are professionals." Komachi Akane held the steering wheel with both hands and stared at the strong men in black behind Mori Mari. The men in black had been looking around vigilantly since they came out, with one hand on the on the chest, it was obvious that there were weapons in his hands.
Komachi Akane observed her carefully for a while and concluded: "I can't kidnap her by myself."
"Why was your first thought to kidnap her?" Li Xia withdrew his gaze, looking at Komachi Akane with a strange expression.
"Weren't you planning to capture her, take some nude photos, and then threaten her?" Komachi Akane also looked strangely at Li Xia.
The two of them locked eyes in the car, and the air suddenly became quiet.
"I have serious doubts about your law enforcement capabilities," Li Xia broke the silence, watching Mori Mari get into a black extended car. This car had clearly undergone bulletproof modifications, and both its size and design were completely different from regular cars on the market.
Compared to his husband, Mori Norio, it was like night and day.
"Do we need to follow them?" Komachi Akane asked.
"No need," Li Xia watched the car leave and shook his head. "With this level of security, even if we catch up, we can't do anything. Take me to my aunt's house."
From the content of the call the day before yesterday, it seemed that Mori Mari wanted his aunt to be her lover, but she was rejected. Rather than tracking Mori Mari, he was more concerned about his aunt's situation.
Komachi Akane's driving skills were steady, and she dropped off Li Xia at the destination before leaving, after exchanging contact information.
Li Xia bought some groceries downstairs, unlocking the door with his fingerprint. Auntie was still not back, and the room looked the same as when he left yesterday. There was a pair of sheer black stockings and a lacy underwear set lying on the sofa, obviously left there since Asakawa Aki had slept through the night after getting drunk and then changed into clean clothes to go to school.
Knowing Asakawa Aki well, Li Xia wasn't sure whether she had taken a shower in the morning.
"Nothing has really changed," Li Xia shook his head. After tidying up the room, he carried the groceries to the kitchen. As expected, there were still a large number of unwashed dishes, chopsticks, and instant noodle boxes piled up in the kitchen.
So before starting to cook, Li Xia planned to clean the kitchen.
He busied himself in the kitchen for about an hour, and around 7 o'clock in the evening, the apartment door was pushed open.
"Auntie, you're back," Li Xia, holding cleaning tools, stuck his head out of the kitchen and made eye contact with Asakawa Aki, who was taking off her high heels at the entrance.
Asakawa Aki was bent over, one finger stuck into her high heels, her eyes were red, she obviously didn't notice the change in the room when she entered.
After seeing Li Xia, she was obviously stunned and quickly covered her eyes with her hands, not wanting Li Xia to see.
Li Xia was stunned and swallowed the next words. In his mind, his aunt had always been heartless, but her smile was particularly bright and could give people strength.
He rarely saw his aunt like this.
"Auntie, what happened?" Li Xia took off his housework apron, walked to the entrance, and took the handbag from her hand.
"Yeah, something sad happened." Asakawa Aki put down her hands, revealing some red eyes, grinned, and revealed a hearty smile: "When I went home, I saw an old woman and her granddaughter together. The scene was so warm. , which makes people cry."
"Oh, that's it." Li Xia glanced at her without saying anything, and turned around and said, "I've prepared some hot dishes for you, let's eat."
"I love my little Xia so much." Asakawa Aki stretched out her hand and hugged Li Xia.
"Hey, Auntie, I can smell alcohol on you. Looks like you didn't shower yesterday," Li Xia said with a disgusted look, pushing her away and bringing out the cooked dishes from the kitchen.
With the delicious hot food in front of them, Asakawa Aki took out the unfinished bottle of alcohol from yesterday. Li Xia sat beside her and poured her a drink.
The two of them ate together for almost half an hour. Asakawa Aki's face was already slightly flushed from drinking. Li Xia filled her glass again and said softly, "If there's something bothering you, you can talk about it. Even though I might not be able to help much, it's better to say it out loud than keep it to yourself."
Asakawa Aki's hand holding the glass paused for a moment, but she quickly regained her smile and shook his head. "Xia is such a gentle kid."
After saying that, she finished the drink in her glass, propped her cheek with one hand, and spoke softly, "Whoever becomes your girlfriend must be really lucky."
"Do you want to consider me?" Li Xia refilled his glass. "I don't mind if you're older than me."
"Oh, now you've got me thinking," Asakawa Aki suddenly smiled coquettishly, his eyes fixed on her.
Their gazes met, and Li Xia didn't look away, staring straight into her eyes.
The atmosphere gradually became strange. Just then, "Ding ding!" a burst of phone ringing broke the silence, instantly shattering the surrounding atmosphere. Asakawa Aki hastily pulled out her phone.
She said to Li Xia, "I'll take this call."
After speaking, she stood up, but due to having just drunk quite a bit, she didn't steady herself and stumbled. Li Xia hurriedly reached out to help.
Asakawa Aki had already steadied herself and hurriedly went to her room, closing the door.
Li Xia leaned against the sofa, looking at the tightly closed door. He didn't need to guess to know that the call was from Mori Mari, judging by his aunt's expression when she came back just now.
She must have cried, which means the two of them had just met, and it probably wasn't a pleasant conversation if she's calling again now.
Judging by his aunt's behavior, it's clear that she is anticipating this call.
Li Xia poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and a pungent taste rushed down his throat.
"It's really awful. Why would anyone like to drink this stuff?" Li Xia put down the glass, thought for a moment, and felt it would be a waste to pour it out, so he poured some more from the bottle, anyway his aunt won't be able to tell later.
Li Xia didn't wait outside for too long, and Asakawa Aki walked out of the room, still wearing a bright smile on her face, and went to the coffee table: "There's still so much food, we can't waste it."
She then picked up the chopsticks and tried to pick up some food.
"Auntie, you're crying," Li Xia said, holding his head in his hands, leaning back on the sofa.
"I'm not!" Asakawa Aki, like an angry little cat, immediately turned her head and glared at him fiercely. "I won't cry!"
As she spoke, tears flowed from her eyes.
