We moved to Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi patted Kevin on the shoulder.

"Kevin, why don't you find a girlfriend? At least she can give you some comfort."

“Hmm…” Kevin was silent for a while before saying, “If it’s just to relieve mental fatigue, Su can do that too.”

"But doctors are men."

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be regardless of gender?"

Xu Qi stroked his chin thoughtfully—it seemed to be true. It's just that the people he sought emotional comfort from were often girls…tsk!

"And let me be like you, finding lots of girls..."

"Cough! Cough cough!" Xu Qi couldn't hold back anymore. "I...I know I'm a scumbag, Boss Kevin, you'd better not say anything more. I feel so guilty."

Seeing Xu Qi's predicament, the icy man finally managed a smile.

“I don’t mean to blame you. You’ve treated everyone with your sincerity. Sincerity begets sincerity, and there’s a reason why you’re loved by everyone in the courtyard, Xu Qi.”

Xu Qi scratched his head. He had always felt that Kevin was like an uncle or elder to him, so being praised like this felt rather strange.

At that moment, Kevin suddenly turned his head and glanced out the window. Xu Qi looked over curiously, and subconsciously probed with his spiritual power—there was a subtle sense of dexterity that could still be faintly detected despite the concealment…

It's a cat... Does this mean it's back from the night shift?

Kevin stood up.

"I'm going back first. You should get some sleep, Xu Qi."

"Oh, okay..." Xu Qi was stunned as soon as he finished speaking.

He turned to look at Kevin's retreating figure as he went back to his room, speechless for a moment—you don't have a habit of getting up at night, you just have a habit of checking on the safety of those people in the courtyard who are like family to you…

Meanwhile, on the rooftop, after sensing the return of Pado's spiritual energy fluctuations, Aponia ended her nightly prayers and went to bed to sleep.

Golden Courtyard...

For the people here, is it really just a simple relationship of living under the same roof?

Xu Qi already knew the answer—they're family...

Thinking about it this way, it's true that no matter how late I come back, there will always be someone awake in the courtyard to greet me.

If you haven't gone home, you must call to let us know you're safe, otherwise everyone will worry.

I suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps the most wonderful gift God has given me is not the extraordinary adventures I have had, nor the brilliant career I am now on the verge of achieving.

It might not even be... this inexplicable romantic encounter of mine.

Instead, they can live here—in this golden courtyard.

Xu Qi stood up and bumped into Pado, who was sneaking home.

"Huh!? Whew... You scared me to death! It's you, boss. I thought it was someone else..."

Under the bright moonlight, the cat carried a large burlap sack on its back, trying to calm its pounding heart.

It seems that today I, Xu Qi, am the one responsible for receiving the last person to return home from the courtyard.

He reached out and took the cat's sack, and they went back to the room together.

Along the way, Cat kept excitedly saying, "Luckily it's you, Boss. I don't want to see Boss Kevin's cold face anymore. It's terrifying."

"You call Kevin 'boss,' and you call me 'boss,' so how many bosses do you have?"

"Huh? Hey! This is different. Kevin is the boss of Golden Courtyard, and you are my boss."

Xu Qi laughed.

Opening the cat's room, it wasn't a complete mess anymore—actually, Xu Qi had just tidied up the cat's room a while ago and hadn't had time to mess it up yet.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while, boss?"

"I'm afraid it's not just about coming in and sitting for a while."

"Ugh?"

"I might have to sleep here tonight, otherwise I'll have nowhere to sleep."

"Huh!?" Pado was startled at first! But then she returned to normal and casually greeted, "Oh, then you go to sleep first, I'll put something down and come back in a bit."

You're really treating me like a buddy, aren't you?

Xu Qi didn't mind, took a shower in the cat's bathroom, and then got into the cat's bed—there was a fragrant scent, the scent of a young girl...

I hadn't been lying down for long when I felt a weight on my body.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Pado lying on top of her through the blanket, her face full of smiles.

"what happened?"

"Hehe! It's nothing, I was just thinking that it's been a long time since I slept with my boss after Guangcheng."

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated.

"Why are you thinking about this, you little kitty?"

Pado pouted and nuzzled Xu Qi's chin with her head, saying, "You've already called me a cat, so isn't it normal for me to be a little clingy?"

That makes so much sense, I can't argue with it...

Still lying on Xu Qi, the cat could see Xu Qi's face clearly by the moonlight.

He blinked, momentarily stunned.

"what happened?"

Through the blanket, Pado opened her arms and hugged Xu Qi.

"Boss, I wish I were really a cat."

If it were a cat, it could jump into Xu Qi's arms anytime, anywhere, and be held by its boss...

Xu Qi reached out and ruffled the cat's head.

"What are you thinking about? Aren't you always my cat? Go take a shower and then go to sleep."

"Yes, sir!"

442. Introduce two daughters-in-law to parents

After handing over PV-related matters to Qian Chen at the company this morning, Xu Qi's last and most important task before the National Day holiday was finally completed.

"What are Manager Xu's plans for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"I?"

"Oh yeah? With your girlfriends...?"

Faced with Qian Chen's teasing, Xu Qi smiled and shook his head.

"Probably so. I guess we'll be waiting for our Alahato PV to be shown on TV."

"That's true, I'll watch it with my wife and kids too. It's not just the company that's fully committed... I also poured a lot of effort into the PV for your Alahato Seed crowdfunding group 456127940."

The arrangements are almost complete; all the promotional work is just waiting for the PV to be released.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Qian. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

……

On her way home from the company, Xu Qi recalled her conversation with Qian Chen in the office earlier.

Yes, it's both National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

In previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival was usually spent at home...

······

In the courtyard, Alicia was lying on the bed, using her virtual avatar to do a live stream, while Mei was sitting next to her in her bedroom playing games.

After finally finishing an important exam, I need to rest for a few days and relax.

Halfway through the live stream, a phone call came in. When Ai Li picked it up, she saw it was from Xu Qi.

"Oh? My boyfriend called, so I won't be able to call today?"

The live chat was instantly filled with question marks.

At this point, some people were even playing SC.

Ellie glanced at the ID, which belonged to a female fan who was a regular in her live stream, and then read it aloud.

"Can you turn on speakerphone, I want to hear your boyfriend's voice... No way! You little devils, he's my boyfriend, I'm not sharing him with you! Hehe~~ Bye-bye~~"

After saying that, he ended the live stream.

Alicia glanced at Mei, who was still engrossed in playing the game, answered the call, and then put it on speakerphone.

"Hello? Ellie."

Mei, who was engaged in a fierce and bloody battle with Valkyrie Marlenia, suddenly heard Xu Qi's voice and was caught off guard!

As a result, I was too slow to press the button, and I couldn't dodge the second dash of the waterbird. I was killed by a combo.

This is the 12th time Mei has died here at the Valkyrie today.

what! !

Mei turned her head and glared at Airi—this girl… she definitely did it on purpose!

But Alicia didn't care about any of that. She said with a grin, "What's wrong? Calling me in broad daylight, you must miss me, right?"

"Yes, I miss you."

Alicia's smile became even sweeter.

Mei simply gave up on playing the game, rested her chin on her hand, and started watching this pink fairy lady act up—keep acting up, I'll come and torment you in a bit.

"Ellie, do you remember what I mentioned to you before?"

"Hmm? What did you mention?"

"I just want to go home and see my parents."

Alice and Mei froze simultaneously! Mei narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Alice, while Alice awkwardly scratched her head—really… if she had known Xu Qi was going to say this, she wouldn't have brought it up.

"Oh...oh...is it today?"

"Well, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I might as well go over there today."

"Oh, oh... goodbye then, drive well."

The call ended, and Alicia was on the verge of tears. Right now, Mei was looking at her like she was a little cat thief about to raid a house!

"Aili~~"

"Huh...huh?~~Mei, um...would you like me to explain first?"

Mei reached down from the desk to the bed and stared at Airi with a faint expression.

Explain.

Ellie breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed there was still a chance.

"Actually, it's..."

"What are you explaining?!"

As she spoke, she pounced on Ellie amidst her exclamation, and the two girls immediately started playing around. It seemed that... Mei wouldn't be able to vent her jealousy for a while.

So when Xu Qi returned home and opened the door, what he saw was his two wives locked in a fierce struggle, their cheeks flushed and breathless, neither willing to give in.

Ok……

"Did I come at the wrong time?"

"No, no! You've come at just the right time, waaaaah... Xu Qi, your wife's gone crazy, help me move her away..."

Mei straightened up, annoyed, and slapped Airi's chubby bottom.

"You want him to help? Do you believe that if he helps, it'll turn into the two of us messing with you?"
