Chapter 121 Reina
Thanks to Lost in the Starry Sky for the suggestion!
Su Xingbo pulled Mingmei to the bedside. Yukiko glanced at the baby and wanted to get up to hug the baby, but he forcibly pushed her back down.
He shook his head and said, "The nurse just said that the most important thing for you right now is to rest well. Once you've recovered, you can hug her for as long as you want. For now, just rest well."
Yukiko lay down with a pout, only able to watch longingly as the baby in Akemi's arms.
At this moment, Akemi approached Yukiko while holding the baby and said with a smile, "Sister, you can take a look at the baby first." She then placed the baby next to Yukiko.
Yukiko's eyes lit up instantly, and she turned to examine the baby's wrinkled little face closely. Su Xingbai also came closer, his eyes becoming incredibly gentle.
"Xingbai, have you chosen a name for the baby yet?"
Su Xingbo shook his head and smiled, "You still have to choose the name. I'll listen to you."
Yukiko gently stroked the baby's little hand, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "If it's a girl, how about we name her Reina?"
Su Xingbo repeated the name softly, a smile playing on his lips. "It's a rather nice-sounding name."
Akemi chimed in, "Indeed, Fujimine Reina, what a lovely name."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yukiko and Akemi turned their gazes to him.
"Why are you all looking at me? I already said, any name is fine. I think Fujimine Rena sounds pretty good. I'm okay with any of them."
The two women looked at each other and smiled, revealing happy smiles.
Because they wanted Yukiko to get some rest, they left the room after a short while, allowing her to rest properly in the room.
In the days that followed, Su Xingbai took meticulous care of Yukiko and the child.
As Yukiko's health gradually recovered and her postpartum period passed peacefully, Su Xingbo decided to begin arranging her return to Japan.
This isn't a long-term solution. He still has a lot to deal with in Japan, and there's a ton of unresolved issues with the Black Organization.
He made all the arrangements and then embarked on his journey back to Japan with Yukiko, the children, and Akemi.
The mountaintop villa had been completely renovated, and he planned to bring Yukiko and Akemi to the villa later.
This will take some time. He should be able to convince Ayako alone, and then it would be easiest for Ayako to persuade Sonoko.
He received a call from Gin as soon as he got off the plane.
"Moshi moshi, Gin-san?" He was in a good mood and said cheerfully.
"You seem quite happy?"
"Get to the point, I'm happy every day." Yukiko gestured that she was about to get into the car, but he waved for them to go first and pointed to his phone to indicate that he was on the phone.
"........."
Do you know Phantom Thief Kid?
"I know, what's wrong?" Su Xingbai replied, puzzled.
Kaito's been behaving himself lately; I haven't seen him stealing anything.
"Phantom Thief Kid sends out a warning letter, targeting the 'Memory Egg,' a royal treasure of the Russian Romanov dynasty."
Gone?
"Keep talking, is that all?"
"Observe secretly and seize the opportunity to reclaim the Romanov dynasty's royal treasure!"
Su Xingbai asked, puzzled, "What's the use of us taking this back? We can't sell it anyway, we can only sit here and watch it."
"This is not something you need to worry about. You've been on vacation for so long, so this task is now yours."
They're destined to be workers, their whole lives will be spent as laborers.
"Okay, okay, but I can't guarantee I'll get it 100%. That's all for now, bye." He prepared himself mentally beforehand; this thing wasn't anything good, so why bother trying so hard?
He quickly caught up with Yukiko and the other girl after hanging up the phone. Amid their complaints, he apologized repeatedly and promised it would never happen again, which finally calmed them down.
After dropping the two off at Akemi's villa, he drove to find Ayako to find out the details.
The two met at a high-end coffee shop in Beika Town.
Inside the private room.
Ayako pushed the stirred coffee in front of him and said gently.
"Kidd left a notice in the treasure vault of the Suzuki family a while ago."
"A notice of notice?" Su Xingbai said in a low voice.
Ayako nodded and replied, "Yes, the notice reads: 'The Lion of Twilight, until the Maiden of Dawn. The clock, without seconds, strikes its twelfth note, descends from the luminous sky pavilion, receives the Egg of Memories, the Magician of the End of the Century. Phantom Thief Kid.'"
Su Xingbo smiled faintly upon hearing this and picked up his coffee to drink.
His memory of the other theatrical versions might be a little blurry.
He rented DVDs of The Magician at the end of the century and watched them countless times; it was also the first theatrical version he ever saw.
So he still remembers it vividly to this day.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ayako continued, "The Egg of Memories mentioned in the notice was discovered last month in the Suzuki family's treasury, which is our family's treasury. It is the Tsar's secret treasure, the Emperor's Easter Egg."
"This treasure, the Emperor's Easter Egg, was a gift from the Russian Emperor to the Empress for Easter. It was made by the jeweler Faberrudge, and only 50 were made between 1885 and 1916. This one is the 51st."
"This treasure, the Emperor's Easter Egg, will be on display at the Suzuki Museum of Art, which will open soon, in Osaka Castle Park starting August 23."
"There's still plenty of time."
"Yes, but Dad has already gone there ahead of time. The police still need to set up the scene, which will take a long time."
Su Xingbai nodded in agreement.
"By the way, would you like to go check out our family's newly opened art museum? And while we're at it, let's see that Emperor's Easter Egg?"
Seeing Ayako's expectant eyes, he knew that Ayako wanted to go to Osaka Castle, so he directly told her what she wanted to do.
"Okay, but let's not cause any trouble for Uncle and the police officers. Let's go to Osaka Castle ahead of time and have some fun there. What do you say?"
"Yay, you really understand me." Aya smiled sweetly, moved to the seat next to him, rested her head on Su Xingbo's shoulder, and took his arm.
Su Xingbo gently patted her head. "You silly girl, if you want to go to Osaka Castle, just say so. I'm free right now, so I'll go with you there to help you relax."
"What's wrong? Did you have a bad time on your trip abroad?" Ayako asked anxiously.
