A Warm Family, a Promise

"Sweetheart, come on. Let's go out for a stroll and have a beautiful kimono tailored."

The corners of Uchiha Ying's lips lifted slightly, his eyes gleaming with fiery light. He grabbed Tsunade's soft little hand and gave it a gentle tug, drawing her closer into his arms.

"Hmph, then I need one tailored too. You'd better help me choose carefully. If you pick badly, just see how I deal with you."

Tsunade spoke with a coquettish huff, though her eyes brimmed with sweetness. After speaking, she lightly kissed Uchiha Ying's sharply defined face, leaving behind a faint lip print.

Uchiha Ying's smile deepened. With a mischievous grin, he casually gave Tsunade's pert backside a neither-light-nor-heavy smack, producing a crisp sound.

"You jerk!"

Tsunade's cheeks instantly flushed red like ripe apples. She lightly punched Uchiha Ying's chest, but there was not the slightest anger in her gaze—only a few more traces of shyness.

"Hehe, tonight, the Fourth Hokage will pamper you properly. I guarantee you won't be able to get enough."

A wicked smile curled across Uchiha Ying's lips, desire blazing in his eyes. His words were full of suggestion as his gaze roamed freely over Tsunade's graceful figure.

The two strolled leisurely down the bustling street, Uchiha Ying and Tsunade chatting and laughing all the way.

Before long, they returned to the Uchiha Clan Grounds. Uchiha Ying planned to change clothes before heading out again.

"Mom, I'm back!"

The moment Uchiha Ying stepped through the door, he called out loudly, his voice carrying the joy of someone returning home after a long absence.

"Oh, Ying! And Tsunade too. Come in and have a seat."

Hearing him, Uchiha Qin emerged from the inner room, a warm smile blooming across her face as her eyes welcomed them both.

"Thank you, Auntie Qin."
