"Shall we go to the beach together today?"
Mira wanted to refuse, but she was attracted by Chen Xiao's charm. She swallowed hard, lowered her head, and blushed at the thought of seeing Chen Xiao's abs.
On the azure seashore, waves gently lapped at the sand.
Chen Xiao lay under the parasol, admiring the beautiful scenery before him—Rina, dressed in an adorable two-piece swimsuit, was excitedly playing in the shallow water;
Yuna opted for a relatively conservative one-piece swimsuit, but it still couldn't hide her stunning figure; while Mrs. Mira...
Chen Xiao's gaze lingered on Mrs. Mira, who was tidying up her picnic basket.
Today she wore an elegant white blouse and a navy blue skirt. It was the most conservative outfit imaginable, but the way she bent over accentuated the curves unique to a mature woman.
"Yuna, come here for a second." Chen Xiao beckoned.
Yuna walked over hesitantly, her cheeks flushed from the sunlight and her shyness. "What's wrong?"
"Let me apply sunscreen for you." Chen Xiao shook the bottle in his hand. "You can't reach your back by yourself, can you?"
Yuna bit her lip and looked at her mother, but Mrs. Mira just smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, don't get sunburned."
Yuna then lay down on the beach towel, and Chen Xiao knelt beside her, squeezing sunscreen into his palm. When his palm touched Yuna's smooth back, the girl visibly trembled.
"Relax," Chen Xiao said softly, his fingers deliberately lingering on Yuna's sensitive spine. "You're too tense."
Mrs. Mira watched this scene, her grip on the fork tightening unconsciously. As she watched her son-in-law's slender fingers trace patterns on her daughter's back, a complex and indescribable emotion welled up within her.
"Mom!" Rina suddenly ran back from the water, water droplets dripping from her hair. "I want to put on sunscreen too!"
Before Mrs. Mira could answer, Chen Xiao said with a smile, "Come on, it's your turn."
Renna cheered and pounced on the beach towel next to Chen Xiao.
Unlike her sister, she made no attempt to hide her excitement, even deliberately arching her back to make her curves under her swimsuit more obvious.
"Brother Chen Xiao, please apply more cream, I get tanned very easily~"
Chen Xiao smiled and agreed, placing his hand on Ren Nai's slender waist.
He could feel Mrs. Mira's gaze fixed on his hands, so he deliberately slowed down his movements, his thumb even almost slipping into the edge of his swimsuit.
"Ah..." Rina let out a small gasp, but did not dodge.
Mrs. Mira suddenly stood up: "I...I'll go buy some drinks."
Chen Xiao looked up, revealing an innocent smile: "Please get me a bottle too, Aunt Mira."
Mrs. Mira nodded hastily and practically fled. Chen Xiao watched her departing figure, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Chen Xiao..." Yuna suddenly whispered, "You... were you doing this on purpose?"
Chen Xiao feigned ignorance: "What?"
“In front of Mom… like this…” Yuna’s voice trailed off.
Rina rolled over, blinking her big eyes: "What are you talking about, sister? Isn't it normal to wear sunscreen?"
Yuna opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything. She vaguely sensed that Chen Xiao was plotting something, but couldn't be sure.
Chen Xiao continued to apply sunscreen to Ren Nai, his fingers gliding over every inch of her skin, causing the girl to giggle from time to time.
Yuna watched from the side, feeling both sweet and bittersweet.
When Mrs. Mira returned with the drinks, this was the scene she saw—her two daughters were surrounding Chen Xiao, one lively and the other quiet, both gazing at the same man with eyes full of love.
Chapter Ninety-Three: Mira is also in control, unlocking the sweet secrets of the wife.
When Mira saw Chen Xiao and her daughter being so intimate, she also missed Chen Xiao, the little boy next door from her childhood.
"Here you go." She handed the chilled drink to Chen Xiao, deliberately avoiding his fingers.
"Thank you." Chen Xiao deliberately touched her fingertips. "Aunt Mila, don't you swim?"
"I...I can't, I'm not very good at it." Mrs. Mira pulled her blouse tighter. "I'll just watch you guys play."
“That won’t do,” Chen Xiao stood up. “It’s a rare opportunity to come to the beach, Aunt Mila needs to relax too.”
He suddenly bent down and, to Mrs. Mira's surprise, scooped her up in his arms.
"Chen Xiao!" Mrs. Mira grabbed his shoulders in a panic. "Put me down!"
Rina and Yuna were stunned as they watched Chen Xiao carry their mother toward the sea.
"The children are still watching..." Mrs. Mira whispered, her face flushed red.
"What does it matter?" Chen Xiao whispered in her ear, "They'll find out sooner or later."
Mrs. Mira's heart skipped a beat: "Know-know what?"
Chen Xiao didn't answer, but just grinned mischievously and carried her into the deep water. The icy seawater soaked Mrs. Mira's skirt, and she screamed and tried to break free, but Chen Xiao held her tightly.
"What...what exactly do you want?" Mrs. Mira looked up at the man who was more than twenty years younger than her.
Chen Xiao lowered his head, the two of them so close they could feel each other's breath. "I want Aunt Mila to be happy too," he said softly, "just like when you asked me to take care of me when I was little, do you remember? The day my biological parents were in a car accident, you kept comforting me and even wanted to adopt me, but I didn't want to be a burden on your family. It's not easy for you to take care of two children by yourself."
Mrs. Mira's pupils dilated slightly as memories flooded back—years ago, when Chen Xiao was a foreign child who had lost his parents, it was indeed she who gave him warmth and care... Chen Xiao back then was just like he is now... it seems he hasn't changed at all.
A strange boy.
The strange Chen Xiao.
“That…that’s different…” she weakly retorted.
"It's the same for me." Chen Xiao's voice was undeniable. "To me, you've never been just the aunt next door."
In the distance, Nina and Yuna watched the two people intimately reflected in the water, their expressions complex. Suddenly, Nina took her sister's hand: "Let's go collect seashells over there."
Yuna paused for a moment, then understood her sister's intention. She took one last look at her mother and Chen Xiao, then followed Rina toward the distant rocky area.
The seawater rippled gently, and the sunlight shone on the sparkling surface of the sea.
Chen Xiao was still holding Mrs. Mira, and he could feel her heartbeat getting faster and faster.
"The children...they..."
“They’re more sensible than you think,” Chen Xiao interrupted her. “Besides…can you really resist your own heart?”
Mrs. Mira fell silent. She knew she should push this dangerous young man away, but her body betrayed her reason.

Chen Xiao smiled; he knew victory was in sight.
He slowly lowered his head and, under Mrs. Mira's panicked gaze, gently kissed her.
A gentle sea breeze caresses the shore, and waves lap against it.
Behind the distant rocks, two pairs of young eyes were secretly watching everything, their gazes filled with complex emotions.
The three women of the Tsubakihara family were all troubled by the same man.
A triumphant smile flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes.
The seawater submerged her body, and Mrs. Mira could feel Chen Xiao's arms tightly wrapped around her waist. Sunlight refracted into tiny spots on the water's surface, dazzling her eyes, much like her chaotic thoughts at that moment.
"Chen Xiao, let me go..." Her protest was so weak that she could barely hear herself.
Chen Xiao didn't answer, but simply moved his body even closer to hers.
Mira could feel his heartbeat, a stark contrast to the icy seawater. Her blouse was completely soaked, clinging to her body and outlining her still beautiful curves.
"Do you remember, Aunt Mira?" Chen Xiao suddenly asked, his voice low. "When I was five years old, I went to play with Rina."
Mira's pupils suddenly contracted, and her body stiffened.
Of course she remembered—that summer night, she was lying in bed wearing a nightgown. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and standing there was Chen Xiao, who had just moved in next door. He held an empty water glass, but his eyes were fixed on Mira in the moonlight.
"Stop talking!" Mira struggled violently, splashing water everywhere. "It was just an accident!"
Chen Xiao suddenly let go of her hand.
Mira was caught off guard and fell backward.
Her vision blurred. She flailed her arms wildly, but couldn't grasp anything for support. Her lungs began to burn, and all she could hear was the muffled sound of water and her own rapid heartbeat.
Just as her consciousness began to fade, a pair of hands gripped her waist, followed by a kiss. Oxygen filled her mouth, and Mira instinctively grabbed the other person's shoulders as if grasping at a lifeline.
She opened her eyes to find Chen Xiao's handsome face so close to hers. Water droplets clung to his eyelashes, but his eyes burned with a flame she couldn't decipher. This kiss didn't feel like saving her life; it felt more like possession.

The numbers danced before Chen Xiao's eyes, and he deepened the kiss with satisfaction.
Mira initially resisted, but as oxygen returned to her lungs, her resistance weakened. Eventually, her fingers went from pushing to gripping, her nails almost digging into Chen Xiao's shoulder.
When the two finally surfaced, Mira was panting heavily, her face flushed, whether from lack of oxygen or some other reason was unclear.
Her hair was wet and clung to her face, and her lips were slightly swollen from the kiss.
"You...you're insane!" her voice trembled. "I'll drown!"
Chen Xiao smiled and gently brushed the water droplets from her face with his fingers: "With me here, I won't let anything happen to Aunt Mila."
"Just like you took care of me back then, now it's my turn to take care of you."
Mira's heart pounded. The twenty-year age gap, social morality, the gaze of her daughters—all rational considerations seemed distant and unreal at this moment.
"We can't..." Her voice was barely audible.
"Why not? Feelings have nothing to do with age. I'll still love you even when I'm eighty!" Chen Xiao whispered in her ear. "Rina and Yuna won't see this. They've gone to collect seashells."
As if to confirm his words, the faint laughter of two girls came from a distance, at least a hundred meters away.
