We moved to Golden Courtyard

The two looked at each other and stood there dumbfounded.

I almost thought we were looking in a mirror.

They can't even be called sisters anymore; they're practically twins...

Mei suddenly chuckled.

"Do you think Xu Qi will recognize you later?"

"Hmph~~ How dare he not recognize me?"

Gazing at Mei's profile, Mei suddenly felt a strange sensation; that youth and vivacity were something she had once possessed.

She could certainly act it out, but it would never be as natural as Mei's.

Looking at it this way, it's actually quite accurate to say they're sisters.

Reaching out, almost subconsciously, with a maternal glow, Mei gently patted Mei's head.

It's often said that looking at someone is like seeing your past self, but now... that's no longer just a metaphor.

If it were before, Mei would probably have jumped up and down when Dr. Mei patted her head. After all, back then, she thought he was just a heart thief who happened to look like her!

but now……

Since her father was imprisoned, Mei hasn't experienced this kind of family care for a very long time, except for Xu Qi...

"what happened?"

"N-nothing..." Mei's cheeks were slightly flushed as she turned her head away, thinking to herself—Xu Qi really got lucky this time, after all, they're twin sisters...

Mei didn't believe that Xu Qi hadn't thought about it.

The elevator doors opened.

When Mei and Mei walked out hand in hand, the guests in the elevator and the hotel staff all stood there stunned, watching the two girls leave.

In the north, there is a beautiful woman, peerless and standing alone. One glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation.

The girls exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The charm of the two walking together is so captivating that even a woman would be deeply attracted to them.

However, when they reached the lobby to check out, they both stopped in their tracks, their faces showing the same look of astonishment.

At the counter, the man was almost completely soaked by the rain. He held a large black umbrella on the ground, and his wet hair clung to his temples, looking slightly disheveled. But what remained unchanged was his resolute gaze and face.

He's not handsome, but he has a lot of charisma. Despite being quite young, he exudes a sense of composure and depth, as if he's weathered many storms in his life.

Xu Qi...

When he saw the two girls walking downstairs hand in hand, he couldn't help but be a little surprised—two Meis?

The most surprised person was Mei.

He actually... caught up with us?

Why? He came here to...

Before she could even voice all her questions, Mei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked, "Who are you looking for? Me? Or your Mei?"

Mei: ? ? ?

486. Mei is my dear older sister, you mustn't neglect her.

It has to be said that Mei's move was quite clever.

Mei could easily play Mei, but for Mei to portray Mei's graceful and charming demeanor... it's undoubtedly too much to ask of this young girl.

So she didn't fully portray Mei's demeanor, but rather uttered this joking remark in a similar tone, leaving Xu Qi momentarily stunned.

Um... so it was Mei who spoke?

Mei covered her forehead. Although she had a premonition earlier in the elevator about what her little sister Mei was going to do.

But I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Seeing Mei's expression, he helplessly agreed, "Nonsense, I'm Mei."

After saying that, she and Mei looked at Xu Qi together.

To be honest, the fact that the two sisters still had time to play at a time like this meant their emotions had stabilized. Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, what he feared most was that Mei was still angry with him, which would only make him feel more guilty.

Even so, he still wants to find out who Mei is as soon as possible and apologize to him.

Xu Qi's gaze swept lightly over the chests of the two women before he bowed deeply to the second woman, 'Mei,' who had spoken earlier—"I'm sorry! Please forget what I just said..."

I know I'm an idiot! But I still have the nerve to selfishly ask for your forgiveness, Miss Mei!

……

Mei looked down at her chest, her mind filled with exasperation—this guy must have been mocking her for not having the figure of Mei!

Dr. Mei, however, didn't have as many ideas.

She just stared blankly at Xu Qi—she was already surprised that he had managed to chase her all this way, but now, this apology made her feel even more…

An indescribable emotion was brewing within me.

Back then, I so wished Xu Qi could catch up, that I could be a little more selfish...

When they rushed out of the Golden Courtyard, they thought it would be best if they didn't bother each other anymore. But when they actually saw each other, they couldn't suppress the urge to get closer.

After all, everything I've done... is just in the hope of seeing you alive...

"Get up first, everyone's watching..."

Xu Qi slowly straightened up, but he didn't care about the gazes around him.

"I have something to tell you... would you like to listen?"

How could I possibly refuse you?

Mei wanted to nod, but Mei tugged at her arm and shook her head slightly, as if to say, "Isn't it too easy for him to forgive you like this?"

But in Mei's eyes, only tenderness remained at this moment.

Actually, there was never any question of forgiveness or not, because from the very beginning, I was never angry with him...

"Then let's go back to our room first. You should change your clothes so you don't catch a cold."

"Say it," he said, turning and heading back to the elevator.

Mei rushed to Xu Qi's side, ignoring that he was still soaking wet, grabbed his arm, and glared at him, saying, "Have you thought this through? Do you know what you did wrong?"

Xu Qi gave a wry smile.

"Don't worry, Mei, I already know I was wrong."

Mei still trusts her husband.

She pouted and wiped the raindrops from Xu Qi's eyes to prevent them from getting in.

"You mustn't hurt Mei's feelings again... But!... But you can't be too close to her either! You're my husband, you can only be the best to me!"

In front of Xu Qi, Mei has learned not to hide anything she wants.

Xu Qi also affectionately rubbed Ya Yi's nose.

"You're not arguing with her anymore? Before, I was just saying a few words to her, and you acted like you were going to rush up and drag me away."

Mei blushed, pursed her lips, and said, "There were some misunderstandings before, but now... they've all been cleared up! Dr. Mei is now my best friend, you can't neglect her."

"Best sister? Isn't it Alicia?"

"Ha!...She's just a little sister!"

……

Xu Qi silently apologized to Alicia in his heart, promising to behave well in bed next time and atone for Mei's sins.

······

"Achoo!"

Alice, who was lying on the bed reading comics, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Hmm... what's going on? Is someone missing me? ~~ Who could it be? ~~ It can't be Xu Qi, can it? Hehe? ~~"

Mebius, who was taking a break from the sidelines, rolled her eyes. She didn't really want to go back to her room today, and since Xu Qi wasn't home, she had no choice but to come to Ai Li's.

"But what's going on on their end? I'm so worried... I wonder if Xu Qi can persuade Dr. Mei to come back."

Instead of worrying about others, you should worry more about yourself.

"Hmm?" Alicia looked at the snake in confusion.

“You and Mei used to be the closest, and Xu Qi loved Mei the most, so naturally he spoiled you a lot. You and Mei even served Xu Qi together the most times.”

Ellie blushed, but she had to admit... Snake's analysis was quite accurate.

"But now... if Dr. Mei also gets together with Xu Qi, then she and Mei will form a new pair of sisters, and someone... will fall out of favor!"

Ellie pouted and said discontentedly, "No way! Xu Qi spoils me a lot!"

That's true. Xu Qi loves Mei the most, but anyone with eyes can see that he absolutely spoils Alicia.

Mebius smirked.

"Really? You think you can compete with Mei, who's just formed a new pair of sisters? Don't forget, what if Rin falls for her too? Then Sakura will also have a pair. What about you? What do you have to compete with?"

That's true...

Suddenly, the shoujo manga I was holding didn't seem so appealing anymore.

Ellie was slightly annoyed, but suddenly, her gaze slowly moved to Mebius, and then... her gaze froze.

"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?"

······

Regardless of what kind of trouble has arisen at the Golden Courtyard.

Let's return our focus to the hotel.

Once inside the room, Xu Qi was ushered into the bathroom by Mei Yi to take a shower.

After changing into clean clothes and stepping out of the bathroom, he saw Dr. Mei, whose long, flowing hair had returned to its original state, sitting quietly on a wooden chair by the window, waiting for him to finish his bath.

The room was huge, but only he and Dr. Mei were there.

As for Mei...

"She said she was going downstairs to the restaurant to get some late-night snacks, and she probably won't be back for a while."

Got it. I've specially prepared a space for Mei and myself to be alone.

Now, feeling a little guilty, Xu Qi sat down opposite Mei.

"I'm sorry for what I said to you in the courtyard earlier..."

"There's no need for further apologies. You already said it in the lobby downstairs." Mei deliberately turned her head away so that Xu Qi wouldn't see the expression on her face.

"Besides, I wasn't angry with you in the first place."

Isn't this an obvious lie? Xu Qi gave a bitter smile.

But he had already prepared himself to take responsibility for his actions. Whether it was him or Mei, tonight... they both had to face their feelings.

487. I felt like I was back in my first love with Mei.

The two sat facing each other, but Xu Qi thought for a moment and then moved a chair to sit next to Mei. This action inevitably made the stunningly beautiful woman, whose mature charm was undeniable, a little flustered.

What... is he going to do?

Xu Qi didn't speak, but instead took Mei's small hand that was resting on his thigh.

Mei held her breath! After all… Xu Qi had never taken the initiative to be intimate with her. No matter how close their contact had been before, it was all under the guise of Mei.

And right now...

Just as Mei said in the crowdfunding group 456127940, she was interacting with Xu Qi under the identity of Mei.
