The spacious estate featured a three-story duplex with an enclosed courtyard.
Just as Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai were about to step into the small courtyard at the entrance—
A mature woman suddenly sprang out from behind a doorpost and shouted loudly.
"..." Mr. Temple.
"..." Shen Gu Mirai.
Chiharu, who had leaped out, couldn't help but touch her head, feeling something was off: "Didn't I scare you two? Weird."
"Mom!!!!"
Shen Gu Mirai could no longer bear to watch; she first glanced at Beichuan Si and, noticing his expression hadn't changed, let out a small sigh of relief.
Then she turned to her mother, whose snowy complexion couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
She pulled Chiharu aside and said, annoyed, "What on earth are you trying to do? You always scare me; that's already bad enough, but Mr. Temple has finally come to visit, and you still pull something like this..."
"I wanted to give you a surprise!"
