We moved to Golden Courtyard

As soon as Xu Qi returned to his office, he smelled the aroma of black tea.

Rita's light blue dress clung to her body as she bent over, her back to Xu Qi, to brew him some tea. Her gentle and demure demeanor stirred a flicker of passion within Xu Qi.

Quietly closing the door, Xu Qi stepped forward, intending to give his little maid a surprise hug, when he heard Rita say...

"Is the master still a child? Still playing these sneaky games?"

Since I've been discovered, I might as well stop pretending.

He reached out and wrapped his arms around Miss Rita's waist, inhaling the floral fragrance emanating from her, feeling completely refreshed.

The dress was made of very soft fabric, a stark contrast to its simple design. The prices these girls in the courtyard charged were always beyond Xu Qi's comprehension.

Of course, what he didn't know was that the price of his outfit, which was strictly controlled by Eden, was also beyond the comprehension of others.

Especially Xu Qi's formal attire; the total cost of that outfit from head to toe could probably buy an apartment on the Huangpu River in Shanghai.

However, Eden only said that when he gave it to him.

"It's cheap stuff, not worth much."

Xu Qi actually believed it.

Rita slowly straightened up and leaned against Xu Qi's chest.

His wine-red pupils rippled with a subtle, alluring light, shimmering within his bright eyes.

"Sir, would you like some tea?"

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow.

“Okay, but I want Rita to feed me.”

"Why are you in such a hurry to come back after just going out for a meeting?"

"What can I do? Summer's here, and you're all dressed so scantily, it's just too much for the master to resist..."

Nonsense, if it could make you control yourself, then wearing this outfit would be pointless.

You need to be subtle yet not completely revealing; the beauty of mystery is irresistible to men.

"Sir, please don't rush. Tell Rita what was discussed in the meeting this morning, so I can offer my advice."

832. She's so innocent, how could anyone bear to lie to her?

Resting his chin on the maid's shoulder, Xu Qi admired Rita's understanding nature, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

This thin, long dress is not noticeable from the outside.

But when you put your hands on your waist, you realize that the layer of clothing is like a thin gauze; it feels more like it's touching your skin than being placed on the clothes.

But unlike direct contact, this kind of experience is truly wonderful.

Xu Qi couldn't help but say, "There's no rush, Rita, I've been..."

Rita was both amused and exasperated. She had indeed intended to seduce Xu Qi with that statement, but she never expected Xu Qi to be so impatient.

Is she really that attractive to him?

Thinking about this made me feel a little better.

However, she still said demurely, "Please wait a moment, sir, Rita's tea hasn't been brewed yet... Oh!"

A burning heat seeped beneath her clothes. Rita thought Xu Qi was going to start right away, but instead... he simply removed Rita's underwear with practiced ease and then took his hand out.

Rita was puzzled.

"master?"

Still holding Rita from behind, Xu Qi kissed Rita's neck, and they split up to find Rita's most beautiful spot.

Now Rita knew perfectly well what Xu Qi's motives were.

She could feel Xu Qi manipulating her through her clothes.

"Rita wore this outfit today, was she deliberately trying to seduce me? Hmm? My little maid seems to be getting more and more disobedient..."

Rita covered her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from screaming.

She let Xu Qi do as he pleased, and unconsciously, Eden's words from before surfaced in her mind: "Aren't you all spoiling him too much?!"

Indeed, he started toying with Rita right there in the office. If it weren't for the maid's tacit approval all along, would Xu Qi have dared to do this?

At least initially, he wouldn't have been so reckless.

And today, Rita herself couldn't hold back anymore.

It's not that I can't even wait two or three days, but Xu Qi was already there, so if I wanted to, I could just go for it.

But now things are different; Fu Xian'er is watching over him now!

Rita wouldn't have been in such a hurry originally, but now it's like a cat is scratching an itch in her heart—the more she can't eat it, the more she wants to eat it!

So today, she took the initiative to seduce Xu Qi.

She had just realized that Xu Qi was coming back, so she deliberately turned her back to him and bent over, showing the beautiful curves of her hips to Xu Qi.

It has to be said that as long as Rita takes the initiative, Xu Qi has no way to resist.

At this moment, Rita turned her head, and Xu Qi cooperated by kissing her lips. His hands kept moving, and through her clothes, the most beautiful parts of Rita's body were changing shape.

As their lips parted, Rita revealed a charming smile, placed her hands on the desk in front of her, looked back at Xu Qi, and said with a slight pant.

"Master, hurry up..."

Why would Rita need to urge him? Xu Qi himself was itching to do it! He played house with Fu Xian'er last night, and although he was satisfied with Fu Hua afterwards, how big is Xu Qi's appetite?

As Xu Qi moved, Rita couldn't help but keep her mouth half-open, enduring the sensation.

“Rita, let’s… go back to the meeting we had in the office this morning.”

Rita was startled—that wicked master!

"Sir, let's wait...let's talk about it later, now..."

"It has to be now!"

As he spoke, Xu Qi exerted force, and Rita almost rolled her eyes back.

"The plan to acquire MH is still in progress, but Sister Ying has proposed a solution: let us first show that we want to sign Sirin."

If MH agrees, then we can come up with another excuse later; if MH doesn't agree, then it's perfectly legitimate! Rita, do you know what I was thinking back then?

How could Rita possibly think straight right now?

The pleasure was overwhelming, almost driving her crazy!

"At the time, I was thinking that just a few words from us could very well determine the future of the two companies... This feeling was somewhat wonderful to me."

"Hmm... because that's... the beauty of power... it's understandable that the master likes it."

"No!" Xu Qi's eyes were bloodshot. As he said this, Rita was still enjoying the pleasure she was having with him, which made Xu Qi even more excited.

"Now I'm certain that nothing in this world is as wonderful as you! Rita, you are my true love!"

Upon hearing these words, Rita was on the verge of losing her mind!

How could such clear love not drive someone crazy?

Gradually, in this joy, the two of them reached the peak.

The rivers poured down, irrigating a vast expanse of fertile land, allowing its owner to reap a bountiful harvest.

Rita's arms gave way completely, and she slumped onto the desk. Just then, Xu Qi's phone vibrated slightly, showing that he had received a text message from an unknown number.

Xu Qi was still immersed in the afterglow of the event and didn't really want to pay attention to it.

Rita slowly extended her slender, white arm and took Xu Qi's phone.

"Sir, your phone number isn't easily leaked now. If someone sends you a message, you should take a look..."

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated.

They also said that Xu Qi is a workaholic, but Rita is no less so.

The password was Mei's birthday, which Rita knew. After unlocking the screensaver, when the little maid saw the text message, she changed her previous lazy expression and sat up from her desk.

Seeing this, Xu Qi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Sir, you'd better take a look at this news as soon as possible."

As Xu Qi took the phone and browsed it, Rita also straightened her and Xu Qi's clothes.

The message was simple: a very blurry photo, clearly not taken by normal means. It looked like a document, but the filename was...

"Employee transfer agreement...Cirin..."

The moment Xu Qi finished reading, an inexplicable surge of anger welled up inside him!

Fortunately, Rita quickly patted Xu Qi's chest and comforted him, "Master, calm down... The most important thing right now is to tell Bronya and Sakura!"

And I think Miss Sirin herself... probably doesn't know about this either.

"Of course she didn't know..."

Xu Qi took a deep breath, his expression complex.

“I never doubted Celine. She’s just a simple-minded idiot… She was betrayed and still feels grateful to the person who did her a favor! But that’s precisely why I’m angry.”

Xu Qi handed the phone to Rita.

"Go find Kevin and see if he can find out who sent me this text message. I'm going to find Bronya."

833. The Battle of Silingrad

Rita took Xu Qi's phone and left the company immediately.

Xu Qi hurriedly went to find Bronya, but bumped into Sirin on the way.

"Hey! Little Xu!"

The little girl skipped and jumped, and the joy in her eyes when she saw him was something she couldn't hide, which made Xu Qi's heart tremble.

Thinking back to the contents of that text message—did she know that she had already been sold by the company?

Although he didn't know whether the message was true or false, or what the person who sent him the text message was up to, Xu Qi had already sensed something was amiss.

He fears that the issues surrounding Xilin are far more complex than what he currently sees.

but……

Xu Qi patted Xilin's little head.

Such an intimate gesture left Xilin standing there, blushing slightly and feeling flustered.

How could she possibly understand what was going on with Xu Qi today?

Why am I suddenly being so gentle with her?

"Where did you go just now? Shouldn't you be drawing right now?"

"Ah! Ah..." Sirin scratched her head awkwardly. She couldn't very well say that she and Seele had just been discussing how to win over you...

This is so embarrassing!

"I...I just...went to find Bronya! There were some storyboards I didn't understand, so I went to ask her again."

This is quite common.

After receiving the storyboard, the animator needs to discuss and draw it with the director. If there are any omissions or unclear points during the drawing process, the animator will naturally need to consult the director.

Xilin's answer softened Xu Qi's gaze even more.

Sirin is just an illustrator; she shouldn't get involved in some inexplicable business battles. As the manager of Seed Studio, her first priority is to protect her employees.

Creating an environment where they can paint in peace is a promise I once made.

"That's good. Remember to rest. If anything happens, be sure to tell me. I'm the manager of Seed Studio, and I'll take care of things for you."

Just like what happened to Delta.
