Nan Youxi sat down by the swimming pool and reached her hand into the blue water.
He felt a warmth.
The water in the swimming pool is warm, but I don't know if it's the pool's own heating effect or if it's heated before being poured into the pool. It should be the former, as the latter requires frequent water changes.
Nan Youxi was astonished. As expected of a high-ranking politician, he actually built such a heated swimming pool at home.
"It's not as exaggerated as your yard." Ichinose Shiori saw what Minami Yuki was thinking. She swam to the shore, put one hand on the tiles beside the swimming pool, and looked at the man in front of her.
The swimming pool is built indoors with a glass dome above it. Not only is the pool water heated, but the air indoors is also heated.
In the middle of the pool, little Akino, who was shooting the little yellow duck with a water gun, saw her uncle on the shore. She loosened her grip, and the water gun that her mother had just fished out sank to the bottom of the water again.
The splashes of water from the water gun hit her little face. She wiped her eyes with her little hands, and then used her hands and feet to paddle in the swimming circle and quickly went towards Nan Youxi.
The fast here does not refer to speed, but the feeling of fast.
Akino was only three and a half years old. Her chubby little arms and legs struggled hard in the water, but she could only move forward slowly.
What makes people feel fast is her serious expression and the high frequency of her movements.
Minami Yuki and Ichinose Shiori watched her slowly approach, and the goose yellow swimming ring hit Ichinose Shiori's shoulder.
The girl stretched out her arms, looked up at Nan Youxi, and asked for a hug.
"The little duck is swimming over here!" Nan Youxi put her hands under her armpits and hugged her in her arms with a smile.
The water from the girl's body soaked his clothes, and a cool feeling touched the skin of his chest.
He kissed the girl on the face and his lips became wet.
"Not a little duck." Akino put her arms around Minami Yuxi's neck and denied the nickname he gave her.
There was no expression on her face, and she gently bumped her forehead against Nan Youxi's head to express her dissatisfaction.
The youngest daughter is a bit like Yuko, with an expressionless face. However, unlike Yuko, she would express her emotions in other ways, such as the headbutt just now.
"That's Xiao Qiuzi." Nan Youxi changed the topic.
Akino didn't know what Xiao Qiuzi meant, but from the mockery in Minami Youxi's eyes, she knew it was not a good thing to say.
She puffed up her cheeks and pinched Nan Youxi's mouth.
Shiori Ichinose looked at the interaction between Minami Yuki and her daughter, feeling somewhat warm but also jealous. She was afraid that her daughter would be abducted by Minami Yuki and would refuse to inherit her political legacy.
A sound of water was heard, and she stood up by supporting herself on the ground. The pool water flowed down from her shoulders, sliding out a beautiful arc.
She snatched Akino from Minami Yuki's hands.
The girl's hand left Minami Yuki's neck and was forcibly pulled around Ichinose Shiori's neck. The girl sighed, expressing her helplessness.
Ichinose Shiori ignored her daughter's opinion. She looked at Minami Yuki:
"How come you have time to come here today? Don't you need to accompany Nao Yuko Reina Mizuki Ichimi?"
Before she spoke, she wanted to use a sarcastic tone, but when the words came out, the hint of resentment in them startled even her.
She stared into the man's eyes and used her frank attitude to dispel the strange tone.
"Nao and Mitsuki went with our mom, while Reina and Yuko went back to their parents' home."
Ichinose Shiori hadn't realized the danger was approaching yet, she continued to ask: "Where's Kazumi?"
"Kazumi was supposed to accompany me today," Minami Yuki stared at Ichinose Shiori's face, "but suddenly a message came from your office, calling her away, so I'm alone now."
Ichinose Shiori finally realized that something was wrong, she hugged Akino tightly and tried to escape.
"Let's go change clothes first." She hurried to the dressing room.
Her white feet stepped on the small light blue tiles, making a crisp sound, and water droplets flowed down her naked back. Nan Youxi stared at the water marks, and her consciousness seemed to be injected into the water droplets, rolling across her smooth back.
Her body was wet, and Minami Yuxi's mouth was very dry.
He quickly walked behind Ichinose Shiori and placed his hand on her round shoulders.
Ichinose Shiori stopped and turned to look at Minami Yuki. The man's clothes wet by Akino were sticking to his chest, revealing the lines of his chest muscles.
"How are you going to compensate me?" He revealed his true intentions.
The man's straightforward words and the burning gaze made Ichinose Shiori a little flustered, but she was not embarrassed by the hint. When they first started to exchange techniques, she was the one who took the initiative, and she was not embarrassed at that time.
What made her embarrassed was her daughter in her arms. Even for Shiori Ichinose, flirting with her lover in front of her daughter was a test of her heart.
She hugged Akino tighter and thought about how to respond. She felt annoyed. She liked to have a planned and prepared private meeting, but Minami Yuki's sudden attack ruined her schedule and disrupted her itinerary.
Although she didn't have any work outside today, she had to look up information to prepare for the next work.
She also thought that the man chose to come to her because Nai Xi Ling Mei was not around.
The faint resentment in her heart deepened, her heart turned cold, and her wavering gaze stabilized.
She opened her mouth to reject Nan Youxi, but unexpectedly, her daughter defected to the enemy camp.
Akino looked at her mother and then at her uncle. She took her mother's hand with one hand and her uncle's hand with the other and put their hands together.
"Mom will compensate uncle." The girl looked into Nan Youxi's eyes and said seriously.
"You little brat!" Ichinose Shiori scolded.
After the anger subsided, she was enveloped by a sense of warmth. This little drama, this scene of parents quarreling and the daughter mediating, was exactly like the family in her dreams.
She flicked her daughter's head. Seeing the cute girl holding her little head, the unhappiness in her heart caused by the boudoir resentment disappeared, and she looked at Nan Youxi, ready to make a move.
Akino's eyes were not lost on the change in her mother's emotions. She sighed inwardly and broke free from her mother's embrace.
"I'm going to go play with Xiao Ma." Akino knew she should leave, although she was a little reluctant to leave her uncle who came often.
She hugged Nan Youxi's legs and said, "Uncle, give me a kiss."
Nan Youxi squatted down, and the girl's soft little lips touched his forehead and lips, bringing a moist breath with a milky scent.
Akino waved and headed towards the locker room.
"Let Grandma Chiyo accompany you!" instructed Shiori Ichinose.
"I understand!" Akino quickened her pace.
She ran into the bathroom and saw Grandma Chiyo who came there after hearing the noise. Grandma Chiyo's surname was also Ichinose and she was Shiori's elder.
"Grandma." Akino clenched her hands and bumped into the old woman's arms.
"Mom and uncle have things to do, let's go play together." The old man squatted in front of the girl, hugged her body and stroked her back.
The old man's eyes were full of tenderness, whether he was looking at the girl or at the swimming pool.
She thought Akino was concerned about her mother and uncle and wanted to use play to distract the girl. She underestimated the blood relationship between Shiori and Yuki.
"I don't want to talk about this." Akino shook her head, with an unfathomable gleam in her expressionless eyes.
She raised her two clenched fists and spread them out. In her light pink palms were two strands of hair, one longer and one shorter.
These two hairs were not the girl's hair, her hair was thinner. The old man looked at her in confusion.
Akino stared at the two strands of hair intently. She said word by word, "I want to do a paternity test."
The old woman was stunned, she didn't expect the girl to say such a thing. Then she was amazed, she was indeed the child of the young lady and Mr. Nan, at such a young age, she knew how to observe and speculate the relationship between adults.
If it were any other child, at this age, he wouldn’t know that his father and mother are his parents, right
Akino already knew how to use paternity testing to confirm blood relationships and find her biological parents.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then pinched the hair from Akino's palm.
"No need to go for identification," she said.
