Chapter 311

"So, what did Brother Shuiquan call me here for?"

I ran here for a meal early in the morning. Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed, she had already eaten at home, but Miss Azi's cooking was so delicious that she couldn't hold back.

"It's like this, I'm going to Yuanzi's house to propose marriage today, so..."

"Propose marriage?!!"

"what?!!"

Mao Lilan was shocked. Although she didn't understand the situation, she was greatly shocked. Conan, who was stretched on the chair to digest, almost fell down.

"Is it so fast? You have only dated for more than a month?"

Mao Lilan's eyes widened, and she looked at Suzuki Sonoko in disbelief. The latter blushed, but did not refute, and lowered his head shyly and leaned against Gu Shuiquan.

Who is this shy beautiful girl?Mao Lilan felt as if she didn't know her best friend all of a sudden. When was she already on the road of love, and she left herself so much?

She looked at Gu Shuiquan and immediately understood the problem.

"Damn Shinichi, next time we meet, I must let you taste my [-]% intention." Mao Lilan gritted her teeth and murmured, the corner of the coffee table creaking in her hands.

Conan's heart was in his throat, and his face was pale.

"Are you alright, Xiaolan?"

"Ah, haha, it's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little surprised." Mao Lilan reacted, and quickly put away her anger.

"Well, I'm actually quite surprised that this guy got his way so quickly." Suzuki Sonoko gave Gu Shuiquan a sideways glance.

"And you know, I introduced him like others at the game conference two days ago, so the engagement must be on the agenda."

Mentioning this Mao Lilan suddenly realized that, yes, the Suzuki family is different from ordinary people, and such things should not be said casually.

Conan just felt a little melancholy, the game console... I don't know when I will be able to play it.

"So, what can I do to help you?"

"It's a lot, I'm going to be busy in the future, thank you Xiaolan, I may need you to accompany me and Ah Quan to buy clothes and prepare gifts today, and then when we get married in the future, I want you to be a bridesmaid~"

The two girls chattered about proposals, engagements, marriages, wedding dresses, etc. Gu Shuiquan and Conan looked at each other speechlessly.

"What gift are you going to give today?" Conan asked.

"this."

Gu Shuiquan took out an exquisite small box from his pocket, and Mao Lilan's eyes were immediately attracted.

"Have you prepared the gift yet? Didn't you say you want my help?" Mao Lilan was a little confused.

"The main gift, A Quan, has been prepared, but I think it's better to bring some regular gifts." Sonoko Suzuki thought so thoroughly that she had completely entered the role of wife without knowing it.

"Besides, Ah Quan said that this gift also needs your help."

"Huh?" Mao Lilan didn't quite understand what she meant, wasn't she ready?
"That's it." Gu Shuiquan took over the conversation, "This gift is quite special, its effect cannot be determined, and I don't know whether it is suitable or not, so I hope you can help me take a look."

Then Gu Shuiquan roughly explained what is so special about this thing.

"..." Mao Lilan hesitated to speak, and then asked cautiously, "Are you... serious?"

"Well, I've tried it, it's true." Suzuki Sonoko nodded, but her face was a little red and her eyes were a little wandering.

This behavior made Mao Lilan mistakenly think that she didn't believe it, but the two parties had no objections, and she couldn't say anything.

"Then what can I do?"

"Try to see if you can guess the effect of these three chocolates, you can guess with your intuition." Gu Shuiquan opened the box, revealing three star chocolates.

Mao Lilan looked a little embarrassed. She observed carefully for a long time and couldn't figure it out. She shook her head with a little apology.

"I really can't figure it out..."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Gu Shuiquan, who thought for a while, and then said to Mao Lilan:

"Well, this gift is mainly given to Yuanzi's parents and sister. You can try to figure out who these three chocolates are suitable for. You don't need to be stressed, it's just your intuition."

"Oh, well, I'll try again."

Mao Lilan concentrated her mind and stared at the three chocolates with piercing eyes. This is one of the most important things in Yuanzi's life, and she must do her best.

After waiting for a while, Mao Lilan finally pointed hesitantly at the chocolate above.

"This... I feel that it is more suitable for Yuanzi's father. As for the following two..." She hesitated, "It seems that there is no difference."

Worried about the misunderstanding between Suzuki Sonoko and Gu Shuiquan, she quickly added another sentence.

"But they are all suitable for Yuanzi's mother and sister. Of course, this is just my intuition, and I can't be sure."

"If you have to differentiate, it seems that the one in the lower left corner is slightly more suitable for Yuanzi's sister, and the one in the lower right corner is equally suitable for Yuanzi's mother or sister."

Although he didn't know whether the two of them were serious, Mao Lilan still gave his intuitive judgment seriously.

"Okay, I understand, I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiaolan."

"It's okay, I didn't do anything." Mao Lilan waved his hand, and Suzuki Sonoko jumped to her side, hugging her and rubbing against her.

"Okay, now that this matter is settled, let's go shopping~"

Gu Shuiquan and Conan looked at each other, their faces were a little stiff.

……

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan looked around cheerfully, while Gu Shuiquan and Conan followed behind them, feeling weak.

"Brother Shuiquan~"

Conan suddenly became cute, causing Gu Shuiquan to have goosebumps.

"Say something."

"Haha, this, that..." Conan sneered, and asked hesitantly, "Your chocolate with magical effects, does it have that... effect that can make people bigger?"

Conan knew about Akemi Miyano, so he naturally believed in the miraculous item that Gu Shuiquan said. After hearing him give an example of the variety of effects of this chocolate, he immediately started to move, and put his face to it, regardless of the need. I want one at any price.

Gu Shuiquan stopped in his tracks and looked at him strangely.

"You grow bigger, which aspect are you referring to?"

Conan blushed, "I'm still a child, what can I refer to?"

"I'm asking about age or height, what are you thinking?"

"..."

"As you have seen, I don't know how many effects there are, nor what effect each one has, so I don't know if there will be the one you want."

"Even if there is, I don't know which one it is."

"So, in addition to these three, you have more than one?" Conan was keenly aware of the key point.

"Well, that's right."

"Then... is it possible, hehe, give me a try." Conan rubbed his hands, with a flattering smile on his face, "Of course, just ask if you need to pay any price."

Gu Shuiquan showed a meaningful smile, "Okay, I originally planned to give Xiaolan three as a thank you gift, and she might share one with you, but since you are willing to pay the price, I will reluctantly accept it, so Xiaolan is just right. Divide three with her parents."

Conan:  …

……

At dusk, Gu Shuiquan arrived as promised, the door of Suzuki's house was opened, and Sonoko's parents and sister were there to welcome two...three people...

Because he was afraid of being beaten to death, Suzuki Sonoko stopped by Dr. Ali's house and hugged Hui Yuanai out. Hui Yuanai, who was researching the materials, was carried into the car with a dazed expression, without realizing what happened.

"Sonoko, come here." Tomoko Suzuki smiled, eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was a little dangerous.

"Uh..." Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Suzuki Sonoko quickly picked up Haibara Ai at her feet, walked over, and stuffed it into her mother's arms.

Tomoko Suzuki glared at her, but seeing the soft... fleshy cutie in his arms, he didn't bother to talk to her immediately.

Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief, and was dragged back to the villa by Suzuki Ayako.

After seeing the ceremony, Gu Shuiquan was taken to the reception room by Suzuki Shiro.

Suzuki Shiro knew that Gu Shuiquan had never talked much—except, of course, when he was alone with Sonoko.Therefore, he took the initiative to guide the topic and try to make the atmosphere more harmonious.

Fortunately, Sonoko Suzuki wisely took Hui Yuanai, so that Tomoko Suzuki didn't have the heart to talk to her, otherwise he would definitely be scolding her right now, pointing at his nose.

After exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere gradually heated up, and Suzuki Shiro took advantage of the opportunity to mention Gu Shuiquan's marriage proposal.

"I heard Sonoko say that your parents and elders are gone, right?" Suzuki Shiro looked kindly, "I'm sorry, but bringing up your sad incident is only related to Sonoko's life-long event. After all, these basic situations need to be confirmed clearly. a little."

Gu Shuiquan smiled faintly, "It's okay, it's all in the past, and thanks to Yuanzi, I can come out."

Suzuki Sonoko, who was fiddling with her hair thoughtfully, heard her name, turned her head to look at Gu Shuiquan, and blinked blankly.

Suzuki Shiro and Gu Shuiquan looked at each other and smiled.

"So, you are the only one left in your family?"

"Well, that's right."

"Then do you want to consider marrying into our family?"

Suzuki Sonoko paused and wanted to say something, but Gu Shuiquan had already noticed her reaction and patted the back of her hand.

"If you're worried about Suzuki Group having no successors, you don't need to be in such a hurry. You can wait..."

Suzuki Shiro interrupted him quickly, his wife and three daughters were present, so he couldn't let him finish.

"I know, I know what you're going to say, but, you know, this kind of thing, it's too difficult and uncertain, I'm only 51 years old, I'm not that old, but I'm not young I'm dead, my energy is not as good as before, and I don't know how long I can live. This kind of thing is a bit too forced, so...do you want to think about it again?"

"I understand your concerns, so the gift I brought this time may be of help."

Suzuki Shiro: "..."

At this moment, his mind is in confusion. This guy, shouldn't he send that kind of thing?Is it reasonable to bring something like that when proposing marriage?Although it looks straight at ordinary times, it is not stupid. If I want this kind of demand, I will not buy it myself?

Just when he was stunned, Gu Shuiquan had already taken out a gift and put it on the coffee table respectfully.

Suzuki Shiro looked subconsciously, the beautifully packaged small gift box was still in the shape of a heart, could this thing be placed here so majestically?

Suzuki Sonoko saw that the few people didn't pay much attention to any gifts, so he stretched out his hand and opened them anxiously, then pointed to the three chocolates and said:
"Although this thing looks like ordinary chocolate, it has amazing effects~"

Suzuki Tomoko is now sure that her daughter's head is broken, how can she be so stupid, it seems that Shuiquan-kun is right in at least one sentence, it is time to have another one.

Suzuki Ayako touched her sister's head worriedly.

"There are some magical things in this world. Even if you haven't been in direct contact with them, you should have heard of them to some extent, right?" Gu Shuiquan said to Suzuki Shiro with a serious face.

"what do you mean……"

"These three chocolates are indeed not ordinary items, they can be regarded as miraculous. Today is very important, so I brought them as a gift."

Suzuki Shiro looked at Gu Shuiquan with an expression that did not look like he was joking, and suddenly became serious.

"That's right, that's right, I tried it before, and the effect was immediate." Suzuki Sonoko quickly echoed.

Suzuki Shiro's face was shocked, Sonoko tried?Not to say, is this thing good for that?

"What effect?" Tomoko Suzuki asked disapprovingly.

"..." Suzuki Sonoko muttered for a long time, then whispered, "The strength has become stronger..."

"Strength pills to increase strength?" Tomoko Suzuki was completely speechless to this daughter. Why is this thing not a wisdom pill, so that this silly girl can grow her brain.

"No, its effect is not limited to increasing strength, there are many different effects, it, it..." Suzuki Sonoko became more and more anxious and couldn't explain clearly.

Gu Shuiquan pressed the back of her hand and looked at Suzuki Shiro.

"You should know that I don't need to bring any fake things. After all, I said it will be effective immediately. If it is fake, I can't hide it. Besides, if I really have other thoughts, I don't need to It's so troublesome, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Suzuki Shiro immediately remembered the experience of being hypnotized before, nodded, then looked at Sonoko's eager face, and smiled kindly.

"That's true, then I'll try it out and see if it works."

Suzuki Shiro reached for the coffee table.Want to pick up the chocolates in the box.

At this moment, a hand picked up the box one step ahead of him, and looking along the wrist, it was Suzuki Tomoko.

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly panicked, after so much effort, she still didn't believe her daughter and son-in-law.

Tomoko Suzuki raised his eyelids and glanced at her.

"I happen to be a little hungry, so I'll eat first."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at her in surprise, couldn't believe it, thinking she was going to stop her again.

"I want to eat chocolate too~" Haibara Ai said to Suzuki Tomoko with her small face up.

"Uh...Xiao Ai, your brother Shuiquan has already prepared it for you, and I will bring it to you in a few days. If you want to eat chocolate today, can you eat something else first?"

Suzuki Sonoko softened her voice, coaxing the child a little at a loss.

"Don't be stupid there, such an adult doesn't know as much as a child, do you think Xiao Ai is as greedy as you?"

She scolded her with a straight face, and Tomoko Suzuki touched Hui Yuanai's little face with a gentle face.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Seeing Tomoko Suzuki picked up the chocolate from the box, Sonoko Suzuki stopped him quickly.

"What are you messing around here again?"

"Uh...you took it wrong...the effect of these three chocolates is different...you took it for daddy...the one in the lower right corner is for you..." Sonoko Suzuki reminded in a low voice.

Tomoko Suzuki gave her an angry look, which made her aggrieved, and turned around and leaned on Gu Shuiquan's shoulder for comfort.

After tearing off the tinfoil, Tomoko Suzuki took a look at the black chocolate, which looked ordinary.

Putting it in her mouth, it was unexpectedly delicious. After getting older, she has become more restrained about sweets, and doesn't like such greasy things very much.

But the taste of this chocolate is not sweet at all, with a little lemon flavor, which is very refreshing.

"Why are you looking at me like that, is there something on my face, or is the chocolate sticking to the corner of my mouth?"

Tomoko Suzuki frowned slightly, a little puzzled by the staring gazes of several people.

"Auntie is more beautiful~"

Haibara Ai is far more talented than Conan in terms of being cute. At this time, her voice is soft and soft, which is very cute.

"Little baby has such a sweet mouth."

Suzuki Sheng only thought that Hui Yuanai was speaking for Gu Shuiquan, and didn't take it seriously.

"Friend, you are indeed more beautiful."

Suzuki Shiro's eyes also widened. Although he was well-informed, it was the first time he had seen this kind of immediate image with a magical effect like magic.

Of course, this should exclude those magic tricks that are deceitful, or use various tricks or high technology to achieve results.

"Sonoko, go find a mirror." Gu Shuiquan patted Suzuki Sonoko's shoulder lightly.

"Oh, I'll go right now."

"You sit right here, I'll get someone to take it." Suzuki Ayako held her down with a smile.

"No need, I have a makeup mirror in my bag." Seeing these people looking mysterious, Suzuki Shedman reached for his bag.

"I'd better find someone to get it, you need a full-length mirror now." Suzuki Ayako smiled slightly and went out.

Tomoko Suzuki couldn't bear to be curious, first took out the small portable mirror for makeup, and took a picture.

"!!!"

She is only 43 years old this year, and she usually pays attention to maintenance, so no obvious wrinkles can be seen on her face. Even small wrinkles can only be noticed by her own careful observation.

But no matter how it is maintained, the elasticity and hydration of the skin cannot be compared with when it was young.

However, Tomoko Suzuki looked at herself in the mirror at this moment, as if she saw herself ten years ago. Whether it was wrinkles, skin color, or elasticity, there were obvious changes.

Of course, only she herself noticed these changes. Others were not surprised by such details that could not be seen clearly from a distance.

Soon, the full-length mirror was brought in, and Tomoko Suzuki stood in front of the mirror in a daze, and finally understood why they were so surprised.
