Leaving aside Miyuki Shiba, who was still whining and complaining in the auditorium, Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa had already left the school.
The motorcycle carried the two men along the road and quickly took them home.
Since they were going to the Saegusa residence today, Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa were naturally going to come along. Yunyi and the other person went home to pick up the two little ones.
However, with two more people, Yunyi's motorcycle was no longer suitable. Fortunately, Mayumi Saegusa had already made arrangements, and the mansion had sent a car to pick them up.
As the car approached the Saegusa residence, Mayumi Saegusa, sitting in the back seat, began to tense up. Yunyi noticed her unusual expression in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but tease her, "Shouldn't I be the one who's nervous?"
Mayumi Saegusa glared at Yunyi with annoyance, while Izumi Saegusa sitting next to her spoke up for her sister, saying, "But Brother Yunyi, you don't seem nervous at all."
"Exactly, Brother Yunyi, you look even more relaxed than when you went home," Izumi Saegusa also chimed in.
"Going home? That sounds good. How about we kick Lord Qicao out in Lord Saegusa and take over the mansion?" Yunyi suggested.
"Really, Brother Yunyi, you're here again." Izumi Saegusa sighed helplessly.
After the twins' relationship with Yunyi improved, their fear of Yunyi wasn't as severe as before. However, Yunyi would occasionally say things that seemed like jokes to them, causing the two little ones some headaches.
" Yunyi-kun, you can't do anything reckless." Unlike the twins, Mayumi Saegusa gave him a very serious warning.
This scene puzzled Nagura, who was driving, but due to his position, he didn't ask directly, and simply kept it in mind.
When the car came to a stop at the main gate of the mansion, Mayumi Saegusa had also composed herself. The news of their return had been sent to the mansion in advance, so the people that Koichi Saegusa had arranged were already waiting inside the gate, ready to take them directly to the study upon their arrival.
But before they could even enter the study, they encountered another important figure at the top of the stairs.
"Oh dear, look who's back! I thought you little rascals had forgotten all about this place."
Upon hearing the voice, both Mayumi Saegusa and the twins trembled. Mayumi Saegusa turned her head stiffly in the direction of the voice and respectfully greeted, "Mother."
"Oh? So you do remember I'm your mother! Then why didn't you tell me, your mother, about moving out and living with your boyfriend? What, do you think you're all grown up now and don't need your mother's care anymore?"
To everyone's surprise, Mayumi Saegusa finished Kanon, the noblewoman opposite her launched into a barrage of accusations.
"Mother, I'm sorry. It was my fault, please don't be angry." Mayumi Saegusa was not ashamed or annoyed by the noblewoman's accusation. She quickly stepped forward, took the other woman's arm, and swayed it gently in a coquettish manner.
The wealthy woman glanced down at her, then gently pushed her head away from her arm, saying with a hint of disdain, "You're such a grown woman, and you still have no shame. Acting like a child in front of your boyfriend, really..."
Seeing that her mother was no longer angry, Mayumi Saegusa breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Yunyi and said, " Yunyi-kun, this is my mother, Sachiko Saegusagawa (this is just a random name; I never saw this character appear in the original work)."
Yunyi responded and greeted her, "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Saegusa. I am Liu Yunyi."
After looking Yunyi up and down, Mrs. Saegusa replied, "Hmm, I've heard Koichi mention you. Although you've gained Koichi's approval, getting past me won't be so easy."
Yunyi didn't take her slightly harsh words to heart. However, his calm demeanor actually made the noblewoman look at him with more respect.
"Alright, don't keep Koichi waiting. Mayumi, take him there. Kasumi, Izumi, you two come with me, I have something to ask you."
Only after the twins were taken away Mayumi Saegusa finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"What? Is your mother very strict? You seem a little scared?" Yunyi asked, puzzled.
"That's not it," Mayumi Saegusa shook her head. "It's just that I took it upon myself to move in with you this time without informing her, which made her a little angry. She ignored all the messages I sent her recently. She's probably just letting me off the hook today because of you."
Seeing Mayumi Saegusa's furrowed brows, Yunyi couldn't help but chuckle.
The two didn't chat much, as they still needed to greet Koichi Saegusa. They could discuss the rest once they got home.
When the two entered the study, Koichi Saegusa had been waiting for them for a long time. He invited them to sit down, instructed the servants to bring tea, and then began to talk.
"When I heard about you from Mayumi, I wondered what our identities would be for our first meeting. I had many ideas, but none of them were like this. Liu Yunyi-kun, do you know what this means?" Koichi Saegusa spoke first.
"What does it represent?" Yunyi seemed to ask in return before continuing, "It only shows that Lord Saegusa has made a clear choice, doesn't it?"
Koichi Saegusa's eye, hidden by his glasses, twitched slightly, and an invisible pressure emanated from him.
Yunyi, who was sitting opposite him, felt the pressure as soon as he picked up his teacup, but the next moment, under the gaze of Koichi Saegusa, he picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
" Lord Saegusa, you don't really think I'd be intimidated by your so-called patriarch's aura or anything like that, do you?" Yunyi raised his eyes and looked directly at Koichi Saegusa.
"Heh~" Koichi Saegusa chuckled, picking up a document lying beside him. "This document details your actions, work style, and behavior over the years. I'm curious, which is the real you: the taciturn, unsociable person in this document, or the somewhat lawless person you are now? Or is it all a lie, including your identity?"
Koichi Saegusa's words immediately made Mayumi Saegusa, who was sitting to the side, tense up. She knew better than anyone that Koichi Saegusa would investigate Yunyi. But what she didn't expect was that, based on the information and Yunyi's current behavior, Koichi Saegusa would actually begin to doubt Yunyi's identity!
