We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Once the new store is renovated, all the stray cats from the old site on Huanghun Street can move in. For now, I'll bring cat food to the original meeting point regularly."

So there's no need to worry about them going hungry.

Cheng Lixue stood beside Pado, looking at the store in front of her, feeling somewhat incredulous. The promise she had made about the canned goods had been resolved in this way.

She glanced at the can on Pado's shoulder and smiled knowingly.

It's so good to see that you've found your place in the world.

545. Maids are always aggressive.

As the days went by, the PV released by Alahat Seed in November once again pushed the popularity of this IP to a new peak.

However, it seems that Miss Rita's mind isn't really on Alahato lately.

At least in terms of work enthusiasm, it's far less than before.

The reason... might be because Xu Qi took her home one weekend before.

When the door opened, Xu Qi's mother, Lin Lai, was stunned—how could her son have brought home another woman he didn't recognize? And why were they all so beautiful?

"Mom, this is Rita Rossweisse, you can just call her Rita. She's my personal secretary. If you need to talk to me about anything but can't reach me, you can contact her."

A secretary, and a personal one at that? And so beautiful!?

Are you sure this is just your secretary?

She entered with a questioning look, but after entering and seeing that the other party was very polite and took good care of her son, she couldn't help but look at her son with a bit more understanding.

The moment Xu Youde saw Rita, he understood the relationship between his son and the other woman.

A secretary like that—even a man couldn't handle it...

So does this mean the son has brought another girlfriend home?

How many wives do you actually plan to marry?

It's hard to say, there are quite a lot of them.

"I don't have any objections myself... but will others agree?"

I generally agree.

"Where exactly did you find these girls?"

Faced with his father's three questions, Xu Qi felt that he couldn't answer any of them.

Yeah? What exactly did I do?

On the balcony at home, Xu Qi couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If in the past it was because Mei Yi doted on him, loved him, and didn't mind his entanglements with the women in the courtyard.

what about now?

Things were starting to go wrong. Neither Rita, Bronya, nor Theresa, who had chased them from Guangcheng to Shanghai, were the girls from the courtyard.

They are still by his side, and he has even had some irreversible things happen with his older sisters Rita and Bronya.

These are all situations that Xu Qi never imagined would happen.

Night enveloped Xu Qi's body, and the faint moonlight swayed around him, allowing Xu Qi to vaguely see the road ahead.

"What are you thinking about?"

Rita changed into a thin black nightgown and hugged Xu Qi from behind. The maid's voluptuous figure clung to her, giving her a soft and yielding appearance.

"I'm thinking about you. After today, will you completely belong to me, Xu Qi?"

"It's as if things weren't the same before."

"Of course, but I'm a little scared, scared that one day you might suddenly leave without saying goodbye."

Rita remained silent.

"But not anymore, right? I've proven my resolve to you."

"Well, so I also have some news to tell you. I want to keep you by my side even tighter."

"What is it?"

“Let’s move to the Golden Courtyard. You can come with Durandal. Everyone agrees to this, and some even think… why didn’t I bring this up sooner?”

……

Xu Qi could clearly feel that Rita's body seemed to tremble slightly after he finished speaking.

Just like Kevin thought to himself after talking to Xu Qi that night—everything Rita did had finally paid off.

"Aren't you... lying to me?"

When have I ever lied to you?

Indeed, Xu Qi never lied to her; on the contrary, it was she who...

Rita took a deep breath, then suddenly turned Xu Qi around, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him!

Enveloped in the alluring fragrance of the maid, Xu Qi instinctively pulled her into his arms.

"Dr. Su told me that Kafka and Hato are recovering well and should be able to be interviewed soon."

Rita trembled again as Xu Qi held her in his arms.

“I will definitely dig out all the secrets from them, including yours, right? That night… the way you looked at them was obviously wrong.”

"Xu Qi..."

"You never want to tell me anything, never want to disturb my peaceful life, and always want me to live an easy life... Rita, all of this became impossible the moment I fell in love with you."

Rita lowered her head, seemingly wanting to leave Xu Qi's embrace.

However... Xu Qi hugged him very tightly and forcefully.

Are you regretting it? Regretting that if you hadn't taken the initiative to approach me, none of this would have happened.

Rita didn't know how to answer—did she regret it? Perhaps a little.

But if the price is not being able to love Xu Qi, that is already an unbearable pain for Rita.

"If the path I take with you is destined to be dangerous, Rita... I can tell you first that I will never regret it!"

Rita stopped struggling, just like her heart at that moment.

When she sensed that Xu Qi might find out all her secrets, Rita felt a sense of relief after the initial panic.

She had never felt that her heart could be so close to Xu Qi's.

"So, my lovely little maid, are you planning to tell me yourself, or are you planning to tell me after I've finished interrogating Kaffa and the others?"

They were perfectly fine just a moment ago; it's touching.

The next sentence completely ruined the atmosphere.

Rita looked up, both amused and exasperated, and caught a glimpse of the lingering mockery in Xu Qi's eyes.

But more than anything, it's the deep love and tenderness I feel for myself.

Rita then realized what it really meant that Xu Qi wouldn't let go of her...

"If the latter is chosen, what does the master intend to do with Rita?"

Xu Qi reached out and gently stroked the soft flesh behind Rita.

With just a little effort, you'll find yourself deeply trapped.

The intense feeling intoxicated Rita. Although she was forced to confront her identity with Xu Qi, this inner relaxation transformed into indulgence.

Perhaps maids should be completely subservient to their masters.

It is both fate and inevitability.

The allure in her eyes was more captivating than ever before.

"It seems the master intends to punish Rita?"

"Who told my maid to be so unruly?" Seemingly seeing what Rita was thinking, Xu Qi still had to warn her, "This is my house, you need to keep your voice down."

"Really? But in that case... shouldn't Rita be the one worried about being punished?"

Xu Qi was stunned—he always seemed to overlook this…

Even her own maid is highly aggressive!

The wind on the balcony wasn't strong, and the night view was quite beautiful, but Rita didn't want anyone to see her and Xu Qi making love. With a gentle touch, she lured him into the living room.

Reaching out to caress Miss Rita's waist, Xu Qi moved closer to Rita's snow-white neck, nibbling and kissing affectionately.

"Go to the bedroom, what if your parents suddenly come out?"

"That's quite thoughtful."

546. Looking forward to your Christmas!

Tonight is undoubtedly another special night for Rita.

Perhaps their first time was in their own apartment. By candlelight, a romantic atmosphere enveloped them, and they drifted in love, losing sight of who they were.

That same night, she gave herself to Xu Qi. Besides her body, she offered him her unwavering loyalty.

Just as she said—she was already Xu Qi's maid.

The maid, falling in love for the first time, was actually a bit clumsy in many ways. She liked to silently give to Xu Qi, giving all of herself.

Because that's what a maid is, right? She takes care of everything when her master isn't looking.

The maid's intentions are perfect.

Therefore, she would definitely visit Golden Courtyard on weekends to cultivate a good relationship with Xu Qi and even integrate herself into his circle. So… she wouldn't want Xu Qi to know more about her secrets.

She was afraid that Xu Qi would disrupt her original life because of her.

Even though Xu Qi had told her countless times that he was willing to make these sacrifices.

However, the feeling conveyed by words and actions is ultimately different.

It wasn't until tonight that Rita truly realized this.

Love is a two-way street; Xu Qi is willing to do just as much for her as she would for him…

Actually, Rita had already foreseen this day might come from the moment Kafka and Hare appeared that night. He's so smart, he couldn't have missed it.

Did I change Xu Qi's life?

But if we're going to put it that way, perhaps the process of falling in love with someone is itself changing that person's life.

Rita didn't know; she felt that in this area... she was always incredibly clumsy.

That being the case...

"Why don't you just leave it to me?"

Inside the room, Rita pushed Xu Qi onto the bed and sat down, while she hooked her arms around Xu Qi's neck, spread her legs, and sat on him.

"Give it to you? How can I give it to you in this position?"

Why is this little maid making such a lewd joke at this crucial moment...?

Xu Qi rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"I mean... entrust your life to me."

"..." Rita lowered her eyes, her slender waist, as graceful as a willow, was now wrapped around Xu Qi's arms, sitting intimately opposite him, leaving her nowhere to escape.

Why should I entrust my life to you?

"Because I will also entrust my life to you... There are some things I should have told you a long time ago, but I always felt that Miss Rita is so smart that perhaps you should understand without me having to say it."

Our love for each other has brought our separate lives together. You shouldn't always try to shield me from your own experiences; instead, you should tell me how to face them.

"..."

“For example, when you were coming to meet my parents, I never thought of running away, did I?” Xu Qi smiled gently. “Life is long. If I can’t even face your past… how can we have a future together?”

"!"

Rita's delicate eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips, then suddenly sniffed, seemingly trying to control her expression, or perhaps...
