We moved to Golden Courtyard

Before he could finish speaking, Bronya suddenly appeared behind Xu Qi, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him away.

"Alright, you've come back and you're already bothering Dr. Mei. You womanizer, get back here and put up the Spring Festival couplets properly, we're short-handed here."

Easily freeing himself from Bronya's small hand, Xu Qi embraced her from behind and laughed, "Then if I can't bother Dr. Mei, I can only bother the CEO, right?"

Bronya glanced sideways at Xu Qi behind her.

"Did you get upset today and want to vent your frustrations on someone?"

"That's true. When I think about my parents enjoying their romantic time together, I'm thinking... when can I take you on a trip?"

His eyes held a smile, but his face remained calm.

Bronya said, "Once Seed is finished, we can give the studio staff a long vacation."

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated.

Is it really appropriate to talk about work at this time?

"Why isn't it appropriate?" Bronya's eyes held a hint of understanding and amusement. "Because from the moment you walked in the door, it was as if you were telling everyone..."

Xu Qi has grown up and is about to have his own family.

Xu Qi touched his nose.

Is it that obvious?

"Yes, it's very obvious, especially for a young kid like you who hasn't even started a family yet, but suddenly understands this one day, it will be particularly obvious."

Xu Qi narrowed his eyes and said aggressively, "So, my CEO was just playing with the body of an innocent young man all along?"

After saying that, Bronya took the initiative and tiptoed to kiss Xu Qi's lips.

Feeling a surge of heat in his heart, Xu Qi straightened Bronya's body and embraced her in a kiss.

Gretchen, who had just finished putting up the Spring Festival couplets and was about to ask Bronya for a reward, was stunned by what she saw and was quickly covered in the eyes by Rin who came later!

Then Rin's eyes were also covered by Sakura.

After a satisfying kiss, Bronya smacked her lips.

"It can only be said that the boy was indeed innocent, but that's another story."

Xu Qi grinned.

"Alright, stop looking like you've been wronged. If you're not satisfied... how about punishing me tonight?"

Xu Qi recalled the special Republic-era dress Bronya wore on Christmas Day.

Bronya seemed to realize what was going on as well, took a pair of Spring Festival couplets and stuffed them into Xu Qi's hand, then rolled her eyes at him and said, "I know what you're thinking without even having to guess."

Don't worry, I brought the clothes. Now go put up the Spring Festival couplets for me!

Seeing that the two had finished, Sakura let go of her hand, and at the same time, Rin also let go of the small hand covering Gretsch's eyes, and looked at Xu Qi with a huff.

"Brother-in-law! This is not suitable for children!"

"Ah...sorry, sorry, I didn't notice that little Greta was here too."

Little Greta blinked her big, innocent eyes, not understanding what Xu Qi was apologizing for.

Rin narrowed her eyes.

“I’m talking about myself.”

Xu Qi: ? ? ?

He waved his hand, signaling Lin to stand aside. He wanted to put up a Spring Festival couplet on everyone's door and then a "Fu" character.

"You? Forget it, you're a grown woman now, so what if you saw it?"

Sakura also followed beside him, helping to hand Xu Qi the Spring Festival couplets.

After hearing this, she opened her mouth, about to speak, when she saw Lin reveal a natural smile and say, "Oh~~ Brother Xu Qi also thinks that Lin is a grown-up girl now, not a child anymore, right?"

"Yeah? What's wrong?"

Rin nodded, then grabbed the Spring Festival couplets and jogged away.

As he left, he called out, "Brother-in-law! Don't forget what you said today!"

Xu Qi looked back in confusion—what was wrong with his sister-in-law?

Sakura sighed.

"You...you really aren't sensitive at all."

"Huh? Sister Ying, did I say something wrong?"

Sakura glanced at Rin, who was clearly in a much better mood, and then at Xu Qi. Some things happened at the time, so they might not be so memorable.

But Sakura always remembered what happened during Christmas.

"It's nothing, go put up your Spring Festival couplets."

I'll drain you dry again tonight...

After finishing all the work, Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's Chinese New Year... I remember when I was little, my parents did all these things for me during the New Year. Later, when I got a little older, all I did was put up Spring Festival couplets and clean the house.

My parents told me that I had to sweep all the dust out of the house so that I could welcome good luck into the new year.

I really never expected this...

They helped push me forward on something I hadn't even made up my mind to do myself.

After this New Year, Golden Courtyard will be my real home, a home that truly belongs to me.

How does it feel to be independent?

Eden's gentle voice rang in her ears. Xu Qi turned her head and saw her sister standing beside her. She smiled knowingly.

"Sister Eden, please stop making fun of me."

"Yes... I'm glad you ended up spending the New Year at Golden Courtyard. But I still feel like I lost, lost because of your parents' final push on you... It felt like they were giving me a lesson."

Tell me, how can I help you become an even more outstanding Xu Qi?

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi naturally put his arm around Eden's shoulder, allowing her to lean into his embrace.

"Sister, it's all the same. The help you've given me is something my parents couldn't provide."

Does it refer to my wealth?

Xu Qi shook his head and said softly but firmly, "You know it definitely won't be this."

"Ah, I understand now, it's some kind of risqué stuff."

Xu Qi was now at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

If it weren't for the fact that Eden was in his arms, he would have really wanted to slap her buttocks as punishment.

"It's okay, don't try to comfort me. Your sister is very strong. I'll let you know sooner or later."

Eden forcefully pulled Xu Qi into her arms, pinching her chin and tasting her lips as if savoring the fine wines she had collected.

"On your road to success, the only person you can't live without is me, Eden."

My older sister is so handsome, I don't want to work hard anymore.

I'll explain this in a separate chapter.

It seems like many people think I'm about to finish writing this, but that's not true. This is just about Xu Qi's third stage of growth in his life.

There are many stages of growth in life. The first stage is when you start working for the first time and earn your first pot of gold. The second stage is when you leave your parents and become an independent person. This departure does not refer to physical separation.

Only by achieving economic independence can one achieve personal independence.

The third stage of growth, as discussed here, is having a family of one's own. Only when you reach this stage can you truly say that your life journey has just begun.

But life is not just about growth, but also about achievements and relationships.

Xu Qi's dream is to create his own Ala Hato. As for his feelings, he hasn't fulfilled his promise to Kiana, hasn't resolved the hidden dangers surrounding Rita, hasn't sorted out his relationship with his sister... and there are many more things to consider.

Impact hasn't been enabled yet (not really)

In short, it's a rather chaotic situation.

So neither Xu Qi nor I feel that this book is nearing its end.

Therefore, I hope everyone can continue to support the author, both to allow me to finish this book and to bring a period to everything for Xu Qi.

579. Mebius also has a girlish heart.

When everyone was in the living room and saw plates of oddly shaped dumplings being served, Xu Qi was the first to burst out laughing.

He pointed to the dumplings on the table, made of pink dough and shaped like hearts, and laughed, "Ellie, do you have to be so obvious? If you didn't make these dumplings, I'll eat the whole plate right now."

Then Mebius, with a gloomy face and constantly twitching the corners of his mouth, picked up the plate of pink heart-shaped dumplings and placed it in front of Xu Qi, saying in a sinister tone.

"Come on, eat this plate."

Xu Qi: ? ? ?

Alicia chuckled, her shoulders shaking violently.

"No, then which dumpling is yours, Ellie?"

Ellie pointed to the plate in front of Xu Qi.

"Look... that plate of dumplings shaped like little pigs, those are the ones I made. What do you think? Aren't they pretty?"

pretty……

He just felt that the little pig in the dish represented him.

Xu Qi's face turned bitter—he finally remembered that although the professor had long green hair and his snake-like eyes gleamed green, the overall impression he gave off was...

It's very green.

But actually, Möbius's favorite color was pink—girly pink.

So no matter how old a girl is, she will always retain a girlish heart.

With an awkward laugh, Xu Qi took the plate and said, "I'll eat it, I'll eat it, Professor. I'll eat all the dumplings, but you can skip the plate..."

Mebius rolled his eyes.

"You don't need to eat the plate since you haven't finished the dumpling. I'll eat you later!"

There was another burst of laughter at the dinner table.

When it comes to dumpling-making skills, Fu Hua is undoubtedly number one, but when Xu Qi picked up a dumpling with a string of small holes poked in the skin, he almost burst out laughing.

"From now on, when I go out and brag, people will say, 'I received so many red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.' But I'll be different; I'll have so much to brag about."

Shi Bao became interested and opened his folding fan with a "whoosh!" in response.

"Oh? Could you tell me about it?"

"Let's talk about making dumplings. I think everyone makes them by hand, right? You just spread out the dumpling wrapper, put some filling in, and then wrap it up, right?"

"Oh yes, that's right."

"My roommate is different!"

"Why is it different?"

"He is a doctor! A surgeon! A top surgeon in Shanghai!"

"Wow!"

"You get this...occupational disease from performing surgery on people for a long time."

"Oh, how is that an occupational hazard?"

"Whenever he needs to put something together, he likes to use a needle and thread. It's the same when making dumplings, he just keeps threading and threading the thread..."

As Xu Qi spoke, he lowered his head and grinned. Shi Bao immediately slapped him on the head.

"Stop talking!"

The little performance brought tears to the eyes of everyone in the courtyard, and even Kevin, a block of ice, showed signs of melting.
