"Liu Ying is just our friend, nothing to do with A Yan."

Huang Quan couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Excuse me for being blunt, but neither you nor Miss Fool seem to have the qualities of a girlfriend."

"On the contrary, this Miss Liuying seems very gentle and would be a good girlfriend."

Liu Ying looked shy, her eyes lowered: "Thank you for the compliment, but as for a girlfriend, let's just forget about it..."

Hanabi shouted rudely, "Hey, Miss Yomi."

"What makes you think I'm not suitable to be a girlfriend?"

Su Jinyan, holding onto Huahuo's collar, asked, "Yes, how did you figure that out?"

Huang Quan: "...Don't you guys really think there's something wrong with this?"

Hanabi put her hands on her hips and said, "This is just a little fun between my master and me. Mind your own business."

Su Jinyan gently rubbed Huahuo's delicate face: "Good girl, I'll reward you properly when we get back."

Hanabi gave Hoshi a sly look: "Let's do something different this time."

"How about we play in the trash can?"

star:"?"

Liu Ying covered her pretty face, speechless.

Liu Ying had figured it out; the two of them getting together was no coincidence, but rather because they both had some flaws.

Huang Quan was truly amazed by the way the fireworks were played.

So much so that when he left, he was in a daze and couldn't even tell which way was which.

Misha said gratefully, "Sir, Madam, thank you so much for helping me out of that predicament."

"As expected, the nameless guests are all remarkable people. I hope we will meet again someday."

Xing: "See you again someday."

Su Jinyan waved with a smile: "See you again if fate allows."

The clock boy muttered to himself, "Never again, tick-tock."

Liu Ying looked at the two of them with envy, feeling somewhat out of place.

So where exactly am I not straightforward, innocent, and childlike enough?

Only after Huang Quan's departing figure had completely disappeared did Sangbo end his feigned death act, his expression resentful as he said:

"Brothers and sisters, could you please consider my feelings next time?"

"I, Old Sambo, am good at swindling and conning people, but sending me to fight in the underworld? What's the difference between that and sending me to my death?"

Hanabi's lips curled up slightly: "Alright, Sambo, have you finished what I asked you to do?"

Sangbo smiled and said, "How could I, old Sangbo, dare to delay even a moment when Sister Hua has given me this order?"

“I have disguised myself as a mysterious merchant and sold all the invisibility talismans you made to Sand Gold.”

“Sajin has been in close contact with Sheriff Gallagher of the Hound Family recently, and I reckon they will take action soon.”

Su Jinyan asked in confusion, "An invisibility talisman?"

Hanabi's eyes sparkled with amusement: "That's right, it's an invisibility talisman specially made by Lady Hanabi."

"This is a test for the little peacock..."

"Now that the eavesdropping dice he left here have stopped working, he will definitely try to get closer to us next."

"Get information from us or from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse."

Su Jinyan shook his head: "If Sand Gold isn't stupid, he won't fall for it."

"He should know that invisibility talismans or optical camouflage are useless against people like us."

Hanabi said playfully, "No, darling, that's a special invisibility charm made by Lady Hanabi."

"You don't actually think that the invisibility talisman has the same effect as the advanced optical camouflage paint developed by the company, do you?"

"I've improved the invisibility effect of my invisibility charm; you'll see in a couple of days."

Sangbo laughed and said, "Our Sister Hua is shrewd and calculating. This time, she will definitely make the company and the family fight like dogs."

"Maybe we'll get to witness a real dog-eat-dog show."

Hanabi's pretty face showed displeasure: "Sangbo, why are you calling me by such a vulgar name as 'Sister Hana'?"

"It's absolutely awful, how could you even think of that?"

Sambo asked, puzzled, "Then what should I call you to show my respect?"

Hanabi's pretty face was smug and unrestrained: "From now on, please call me Boss Hanabi, because—I am Joy!"

Snapped--

Fireworks got a sharp rap on the head from Su Jinyan.

Su Jinyan scoffed, "You're just a market urchin, a firework? You're nothing but my little slave."

Hanabi retorted angrily, "How dare you hit Huanyu on the head?"

Snapped--

Fireworks' pert buttocks received another slap.

Su Jinyan said seriously, "Wrong, I would also dare to spank Huanyu's butt."

Hanabi: "......"

Liu Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Su Jinyan looked at Liu Ying: "Liu Ying's mom, where are we going next?"

Liu Ying said softly, "Next, I'd like to take you to see my secret base."

"I'll be leaving after I've finished visiting the secret base."

“Artists in the Phoenix Flower family have fixed working hours, and we hope you can understand.”

"And I might go to the ball tomorrow night too."

Xing reminded her, "Liu Ying, don't let Xiao Suzi lead you in."

He always calls you "Firefly Mom," and it seems you've gotten used to that nickname.

Liu Ying blushed almost imperceptibly: "Ah, sorry, I didn't even notice."

"Ayan, you can't call me that anymore."

Su Jinyan nodded with a grin: "I understand, Mother Firefly."

Liu Ying complained, "Hmm, really, you're such a worry."

Hanabi suddenly asked, "Darling, do you have any leads on the matter of the robin being attacked by the Memory Realm Meme?"

"Should I investigate for you?"

Su Jinyan said in a deep voice, "It's obvious that there's a traitor within the family, or it might also be related to people in the company."

"Someone wants to deliberately target the robin and kill him."

"After taking this into consideration, Sunday is unlikely to let it go."

"That siscon will definitely increase the defensive strength around Robin."

"Go and keep an eye out for any major moves the family might make recently."

Sambo couldn't help but shake his head: "This Pinocchio is really rife with undercurrents and hidden dangers."

"Especially when it comes to the two of you, things are going to get even worse."

"Old Sambo has a bad feeling; Pinocone may very well become a nightmare paradise in the near future."

Su Jinyan said confidently, "With me here, Pinocchio will not become a nightmare paradise."

Sambo complained, "It's precisely because you're here that I'm worried, okay?"

Before parting, Su Jinyan asked Hanabi for some of Himeko's coffee.

.......

Su Jinyan and Xing continued to follow Liu Ying, taking a bubble pinball machine to a coffee shop.

"We've arrived, this is the place." Liu Ying stood in front of the coffee shop with a smile on her face.

"Mommy Firefly, is this our secret hideout?"

"I happen to have Himeko's special coffee here, we can sit down and enjoy it slowly."

Xing said seriously, "There are three types of coffee I don't drink."

"First, I don't drink milk coffee. Coffee with milk loses the taste of coffee, just like it loses its soul."

"Secondly, I don't drink black coffee. It's sour and bitter, and not a normal person can stand it."

"Third, I don't drink coffee that Himeko has brewed."

Liu Ying asked curiously, "Why don't you drink the coffee that Miss Himeko brewed?"
