Now Uchiha Yama was certain that winning Uchiha Lei over had been the right choice. The more he looked at Lei, the more he liked him, secretly rejoicing:
Who would have thought? Who would have thought Uchiha Lei was a genius!
If he can compete for the position of clan head in the future, letting Mikoto marry him wouldn't be out of the question!
Seeing the admiration in his future father-in-law Uchiha Yama's eyes, Uchiha Lei was secretly delighted:
Looks like that little trick I casually showed off just now let this ready-made father-in-law see how extraordinary I am!
He probably won't stand in the way of me and Mikoto anymore. That means I can rely on my childhood sweetheart and slowly grow stronger!
While the two were lost in thought~
A lovely female voice rang out beside them~
"Lei, Yama, dinner's ready!"
Uchiha Lei looked toward the voice~
He saw a beautiful woman in a dark blue kimono standing beside Uchiha Mikoto. She was Mikoto's mother, Uchiha Miko!
Miko's hair fell to the small of her back. Her hairstyle was the same as Mikoto's, with two locks hanging beside her cheeks!
The difference was~
Miko had a classic beauty's oval face, her slender, gentle brows further highlighting the captivating allure of her peach-blossom eyes. The beauty mark beneath her right eye added a perfect finishing touch!
Her small, exquisite nose and two thin, rather vivid red lips, set against her fair, delicate skin, made her whole face all the more charming!
Her collarbones were clearly visible beneath her fair, graceful neck. Her high, full breasts pushed her purple kimono into a beautiful curve, while her waist, slender enough to encircle with a hand, looked graceful against her dark purple sash!
The moment she knelt down, her full, mature, peach-shaped bottom sank against her fair calves, further enhancing Miko's exceptional air of mature voluptuousness!
Uchiha Miko bent forward slightly, and her large, voluptuous breasts swayed violently under gravity's pull, revealing a deep cleavage!
With her daughter Uchiha Mikoto's help, Uchiha Miko set out six dishes, a soup, and rice on the table, also placing two white teacups for herself!
On the dining table~
The six dishes were:
Fried shrimp balls
Braised pork stir-fried with potatoes
Sliced salmon
Fragrant steamed fish
Stir-fried greens
Beef meatballs
The soup was red date and honeysuckle soup.
The aroma of the food spread through the room~
After putting the food on the table, Uchiha Miko poured her husband Uchiha Yama a cup of tea, then turned to pour some for Uchiha Lei as well and noticed him staring blankly!
A lovely smile appeared on Uchiha Miko's face. She raised her fair, delicate hand and rubbed Lei's little head, reminding him gently:
"Lei, what are you thinking about so intently? You can think about it after dinner."
Hearing Uchiha Miko's lovely voice, Uchiha Lei snapped out of his daze. Looking at Miko's beautiful face, his fair cheeks flushed, and he lowered his head slightly!
Uchiha Miko smiled faintly, then filled her daughter Mikoto's cup with water before finally filling her own!
Seeing that all the food had been served, Uchiha Yama also spoke with a smile:
"Let's eat!"
Uchiha Miko and Uchiha Mikoto pressed their palms together and said quietly:
"Thank you for the food!"
Uchiha Lei wasn't used to the traditions here, so he didn't say it with them. Smelling the mouthwatering food, he couldn't help swallowing, then picked up his chopsticks and reached for a dish!
Sitting opposite her mother, Uchiha Mikoto had clearly seen Uchiha Lei's shy expression when he looked at her mother, and she was very displeased:
Getting Kushina to fall for you this afternoon was enough of a headache already!
Now you're looking bashful at Mother's beauty too. Are you pretending your gorgeous childhood sweetheart doesn't exist?
Uchiha Mikoto frowned slightly, her fair little cheeks puffing up at once. She reached over, pinched Lei's thigh, and quickly withdrew her hand. Only then did some of her anger subside, and she smiled faintly!
"Hiss~"
Uchiha Lei sucked in a sharp breath. The blush vanished from his face, and he looked at Uchiha Mikoto in confusion.
By now, Uchiha Mikoto had long since withdrawn her fair hand. She picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks, placed it in his bowl, and reminded him gently:
"Lei, you've only just recovered. Eat more meat!"
Uchiha Lei believed in not striking someone who offered a smile, especially since she was his future wife. He could only grit his teeth and bear it. He also picked up a beef meatball and put it in her bowl, thanking her with a smile:
"Thank you, Mikoto! You're still growing, so you should eat more meat too. That way, you'll be as beautiful and charming as Auntie!"
Hearing Uchiha Lei's praise, Uchiha Miko was overjoyed. She raised both hands to touch her slightly flushed cheeks, then picked up her chopsticks and filled Lei's little bowl with meat and vegetables, replying with a smile:
"What a sweet tongue you have, Lei. Eat more and build your strength back up! If there isn't enough food, I'll make you some more!"
Uchiha Yama had barely taken two bites before watching the dishes on the table rapidly disappear. Unable to stand it any longer, he coughed twice and quietly reminded her:
"Ahem~
Miko, I know you dote on Lei! But he's only just recovered, so he should eat more vegetables and less meat!"
To be honest, Uchiha Miko was somewhat unconvinced. She blinked her innocent peach-blossom eyes at Uchiha Yama and asked softly:
"Really, Yama? Who told you sick people should eat more vegetables?"
Under Miko's alluring gaze, Uchiha Yama's cheeks heated and flushed red. His throat bobbed involuntarily, and he hurriedly picked up his tea and took a large gulp before his complexion returned to normal!
Uchiha Yama began spouting nonsense with a perfectly straight face. He picked up some greens, placed them in Uchiha Lei's bowl, and expounded his reasoning:
"Lei, eating more greens will reduce the blockages in your body! That way, you'll recover faster. Miko, don't you believe me?"
At the end, Uchiha Yama looked gravely at his wife Uchiha Miko!
Seeing her husband acting so serious and handsome, Uchiha Miko's eyes filled with adoration. Her face instantly turned scarlet, and she clasped her hands beside her cheek and swayed them, her voice trembling with excitement:
"Yama, of course I believe you! You look so handsome when you're serious!"
Looking at the impassioned Miko, Uchiha Yama felt that even the food had lost its appeal. He immediately rose, came to Uchiha Miko's side, bent down, and scooped her up, asking softly:
"Miko, will you come home with me?"
"Yama, whatever you say."
Uchiha Miko eagerly wrapped her arms around her husband Uchiha Yama's neck and buried her bashful face in his chest!
Understanding his wife's meaning, Uchiha Yama quickly ran to the guest room door!
Suddenly remembering his daughter Mikoto and fearing she might interrupt his fun with Miko, he turned back and reminded her with a smile:
"Mikoto, Lei needs you to take good care of him! Stay here tonight."
"Yes, Father!"
Uchiha Mikoto stood up and bowed to her father!
Before Uchiha Lei could look pleased, Uchiha Yama turned a cold gaze on him and quietly reminded him:
"Lei, if you want me to agree to that matter, you'd better work hard to get stronger. Don't keep filling your head with nonsense."
Uchiha Lei stood and bowed to his future father-in-law, Uchiha Yama. His expression turned serious as he replied solemnly:
"Understood, Uncle. Don't worry! Hurry and take Auntie home to rest."
"Mm!"
Uchiha Yama nodded slightly, then turned and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the courtyard.
Uchiha Lei watched the two leave with envy, then turned back to the table and sat down!
After seeing how affectionate her parents were, Uchiha Mikoto also noticed Lei's envious gaze. She scooted over to sit beside him and rested her head sideways on his shoulder!
Uchiha Lei sat there as though on pins and needles. He leaned close to Uchiha Mikoto's ear and reminded her quietly:
"Mikoto, Uncle and Auntie are in the courtyard next door!"
Uchiha Mikoto linked her arm through Chiya Rai's and looked up at Lei, a sweet smile on her face as she explained gently:
"Lei, I know you envy the love my parents share! From now on, your big sister will be here with you. You won't be alone anymore."
Hearing Uchiha Mikoto's heartwarming words, Uchiha Lei turned and wrapped his right arm around Mikoto, holding her in his embrace as he thanked her softly:
"Thank you, Mikoto! It's wonderful to have you."
Uchiha Mikoto's cheeks flushed red. She placed both hands against Uchiha Lei's chest and pushed him away, then stood to clear away the bowls and chopsticks. Turning her head, she pouted and instructed him:
"What are you still sitting there for? Can you bear to let your big sister clear the table alone?"
Uchiha stood up, leaned close to Uchiha Mikoto's ear, and breathed a warm breath against it, replying with a smile:
"Understood, Big Sister Mikoto."
Uchiha Mikoto's ears flushed red. Feeling delighted, she cleared the table even more briskly!
