We moved to Golden Courtyard

"It's alright. No matter what, animation is our foundation. As long as we make excellent animation and rebuild the Alahato IP, everything else... is just icing on the cake."

indeed……

"Besides..." Bronya gently kissed Xu Qi's shoulder.

"Don't you still have me?"

Indeed... The most crucial reason why he unconditionally trusted Bronya was not even because he loved her, but because he believed in Bronya's abilities.

He became the second largest shareholder and the de facto president of ET company solely through his own efforts.

Just hearing this resume made Xu Qi want to kneel down in admiration.

Moreover, only after actually working with her can you truly understand just how powerful Bronya really is.

Just then, my phone vibrated slightly in my yukata pocket.

Xu Qi was taken aback, took it out and glanced at it—Rita.

Bronya looked over and smiled.

"Answer it? It can't be something shady you want to talk about, right?"

"This... Rita and I have nothing going on..." Xu Qi chuckled awkwardly, then gritted his teeth and answered the phone—Rita, please don't say anything weird.

"Master, are you returning to the courtyard tonight?"

"what do you mean?"

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that tomorrow is Miss Wilvi's birthday. I was wondering if you have any preparations?"

"Prepare?"

Xu Qi originally wanted to say something flirtatious—"How about I as a gift?"

But considering Bronya was still around, I decided against it.

"I know, I'll be back tonight. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"That's because you've been in Bronya's office for so long and haven't come out yet. We thought you were going to spend the night at Miss Bronya's house."

……

You're doing this on purpose, aren't you, Miss Rita?

As expected, Bronya coldly took Xu Qi's phone, put it to her ear, and said, "What do you mean?"

"Oh! Miss Bronya is here... I thought you weren't here."

This little maid really needs to be taught a lesson.

"Heh...you just wait."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and silently put Xu Qi on silent before casually tossing it away. The office was carpeted, so there was no need to worry about it breaking.

Xu Qi turned around and cautiously looked at Bronya, saying, "Um... don't worry about Rita."

"care?"

Bronya suddenly broke into a very sweet smile.

"Of course I don't care."

Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Bronya hooked her arm around Xu Qi's neck and pushed him down onto the sofa.

"It's just a matter of enjoying her master's services a little more, why would I care?"

Xu Qi thought for a moment and hesitated before saying, "Actually, if you really want to get revenge on her, there are better ways."

"what?"

Bronya sat on Xu Qi's lap, already lifting up to sit down.

"Hmm...you could invite her along?"

Bronya raised an eyebrow.

"I bet it's you who wants it... Hmm? I can't satisfy you by myself anymore, can I?"

"How could that be?" Xu Qi quickly said, "It's just that you think... instead of just being stubborn, why not let her come over, and we can play with this little maid together? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Hmm...that seems to make sense.

Bronya squinted.

"She definitely needs to be taught a lesson."

······

Just before she was about to leave work, Rita suddenly received a text message—from Xu Qi.

"Come to Bronya's office, I have something to tell you."

She can't even come up with a plausible reason for lying. It's obvious that Xu Qi wants to go with her and make a good fuss over her disobedient little maid.

Did you really think I'd fall for your trick?

ridiculous!

Am I, Rita, such a foolish person?

……

"Ellie, you and Delta can go home first. I'm going to Bronya's place to take care of some things."

"Hmm? Oh, okay?"

"Oh, we don't need to wait for Xu Qi. The subway company people came looking for him this morning. He's probably busy with official business right now and will probably have to work overtime."

"Okay?"

Alicia looked puzzled as she watched Miss Rita leave.

……

"Tell me, who keeps working when it's almost time to leave work? That's too much. Bronya too, I always feel like she's targeting Miss Rita."

On her way home from get off work, Ellie drove her beloved pink Beetle and complained to Delta in the passenger seat.

Delta narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

"You don't actually think they're working, do you?"

"Hmm?" Ellie blinked. "Isn't that right?"

……

Work?

From an employee's perspective, Miss Narita is obviously not working, but from a maid's perspective, Miss Narita is quite hardworking.

At this moment, she was pinned to the sofa, enduring Xu Qi's advances and being attacked by Bronya in various ways.

Rita's sweat soaked the sofa cushions because of the multiple flowers blooming.

"Master, slow down, slow down..."

"Will you try to be naughty again next time?"

"I won't do it again, Rita will never do it again, ugh!..."

It seems the maid will be working late tonight.

761. I shouldn't have believed your nonsense!

After a long and tiring day, I want to come home to my wife's care and concern.

In Xu Qi's mind, this was already a small goal in his life.

However, it feels like we've exceeded expectations.

That evening, Xu Qi took the initiative to pull Mei into the room, and as soon as they entered, he said, "You've worked hard these past few days."

"What's so hard about me?"

A gentle smile appeared on Mei's face. She casually sat down on the sofa in Xu Qi's room, and Xu Qi followed suit and sat down next to her.

With bright, large eyes, she looked at Xu Qi and said with a smile, "But you're acting strange today. You dragged me into the house as soon as you got back."

Xu Qi had already thought of this while he was having fun with Bronya during the day.

He's been busy with Vilvie's matter these past few days, so he must have neglected the other women, especially Mei... Come to think of it, he's spent less time with Mei these past five days.

"It's nothing, I just feel... marrying you is truly the greatest blessing of my life."

Mei rolled her eyes at Xu Qi, amused.

"You dragged me in here just to say this?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the ring on her hand—every day since Xu Qi put it on her finger, she wore it except when she was taking a shower.

This applies to schools as well.

Now it's all over East China University of Political Science and Law: that star member of the kendo club, a sophomore, is already married and even wearing a ring...

Mei didn't mind, after all, she was already Xu Qi's wife.

All I'm missing is a certificate.

"It's not just that, I just want to spend more time with you."

Mei understood Xu Qi's thoughts perfectly well.

"Are you feeling guilty for ignoring me for a few days because of what happened with Wilvi?"

Xu Qi shook his head.

"I just want to be with you." He took Mei's hand, wondering what kind of good fortune he had accumulated in his past lives to have a wife like Mei.

"You are the most special person to me, Mei."

She felt sweet inside, but couldn't show it out loud.

Mei questioned, "Really? You have so many girls, do you say that to every single one of them?"

"Among them, you are the most special, otherwise I wouldn't have only looked for you today."

Mei could tell that this was Xu Qi's true feeling... She reached out and stroked Xu Qi's cheek, then gently kissed his lips.

"You can say that, but don't really think about it—everyone loves you very much, I just started loving you a little earlier than others..."

“I know, but you are different because you were meant to be my wife, my only wife… I know that you can tolerate and accept the existence of other people, also to avoid causing me pain.”

Mei remained silent.

"I'm not someone who gets bored easily, but I do sometimes get lost, so I have to stay by your side often."

Only in this way can I always be clear about one thing—no matter how many women I fall in love with, Xu Qi's favorite is still Mei, and Xu Qi's love for her must also be Mei.

This is the only thing I absolutely do not want to forget.

……

Mei reached out and hugged Xu Qi.

"Honestly, you're still saying these things now, aren't you ashamed?"

"Would you say these things to me?"

Upon hearing this, Mei blushed and blushed, but still kept her head down and spoke softly.

“I would never say such things. Mei is not like you. Because Mei only likes one person and loves only one person in her whole life. Mei... will always love Xu Qi.”

After Mei finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence.

However, it doesn't make people anxious or embarrassed; instead, it reveals a touch of warmth.

Xu Qi looked up and met Mei's gaze; both of them couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Mei complained, "So you're shy now?"

"Indeed, we're an old married couple, so there's no need for us to talk about these things."
