We moved to Golden Courtyard

Because it was already very late, Xu Qi ate a little bit. He had planned to help Mei wash the dishes after dinner, but she was immediately kicked out of the kitchen.

"Go find Rita!"

Mei deserves at least half the credit for the harmonious relationship between his wives.

Reaching Rita's room door, Xu Qi took a deep breath and knocked.

"Who?"

"Rita, it's me."

"The door is unlocked."

He opened the door and came in to see Rita sitting by the window, her back to him, looking still furious...

Xu Qi stepped forward and embraced the other person from behind.

Fortunately, Rita did not refuse this gesture, indicating that she was not really angry.

"Wife..."

Rita's heart skipped a beat. Although she was overjoyed, she kept a cold expression.

"What? Now you know how to call me wife? 'Wife' when things are going on, Rita when things are not. Do you think I'm the kind of girl who's so easy to coax?"

If someone says that, it means it really is very easy.

However, Xu Qi certainly couldn't say it outright.

"I know I was wrong, honey, please forgive me this time... You know, I revised this manuscript again and again. I finally had some ideas, so I was naturally quite excited."

Rita glanced back at Xu Qi and asked, "How did you suddenly come up with an idea?"

Have a show?

So Xu Qi recounted his visit to Ye Caizhang that morning, omitting Liu Qi and the others.

Despite Rita's self-proclaimed role as a maid, she is actually quite jealous.

Upon hearing this, Rita couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"This story is... quite inspiring. But as you heard, the father worked so hard until the very end, he developed terminal liver cancer... and passed away before raising his daughter to adulthood..."

Xu Qi, do you expect me to leave you with only a handful of dust in twenty or thirty years?

Xu Qi's expression immediately turned serious, and he hugged the woman in his arms tightly, comforting her, "No! No, if I can't be with Rita until we grow old, it will definitely be a regret in my life."

Don't worry, no matter how busy I am in the future, I will take good care of my health and make sure to get enough rest.

"It's still missing... um!"

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Qi suddenly kissed her, pressing her lips to his. All the words she wanted to say turned into sobs.

Rita pounded on Xu Qi's chest, and after the kiss ended, she said fiercely, "What are you doing?"

“I will take care of my health, but you need to give me more confidence. Don’t you know my health condition? You can’t yell at me like that next time, it scared me.”

"I want you to develop a good habit, sir."

Rita rolled her eyes and reached out to straighten her previously messy hair.

"If I don't lose my temper once, will you remember me?"

Xu Qi pressed his forehead against Rita's.

"If I remember it... is there a reward?"

Their eyes met, and they both saw the deep and passionate feelings in each other's eyes.

Rita bit her lip and pushed Xu Qi away.

"Wait a minute, I... I'll change my clothes."

947. Will you marry me? Miss Rita

The little maid Rita always brings Xu Qi many surprises.

Upon hearing that the other person wanted to change clothes, Xu Qi immediately teased, "What clothes? Can't you change in front of me?"

Rita rolled her eyes and pulled away from Xu Qi's embrace.

“If you were to leave work on time, I would have already changed my clothes and was waiting for you in the room when you got home, and I would have definitely prepared everything.”

The atmosphere's definitely ruined now, so... you'll just have to make do for now, right?

Rita's words made Xu Qi even more curious.

What kind of clothes are they going to change into? It sounds quite mysterious.

Rita stepped forward and kissed Xu Qi, saying sweetly.

"Wait here, and don't peek."

Xu Qi definitely wouldn't peek at these kinds of playful games.

The gift the girl carefully prepared for you will be delivered to you sooner or later anyway. It would be extremely impolite to peek at it now.

Xu Qi found a chair in Rita's room and sat down.

In fact, when Rita got angry like that, he did have some reservations.

After all, the little maid had always been obedient to him, so Xu Qi couldn't ignore her sudden rebuttal, even if he wanted to. Besides... what she said made sense.

The story in the morning gave Xu Qi a lot of inspiration, which led to a brand new episode 38.

At the same time... that sorrow had lingered in Xu Qi's heart, and could not be dispelled for a long time.

The father cared for his frail daughter until he collapsed from exhaustion and eventually passed away.

This is not a performance on television, nor a plot from a novel, but a real story told by someone else, and the feeling is completely different.

Especially when you hear that the other party didn't show anything unusual at first, until one day... it was even a completely unfounded association.

But once this association began, all the sadness that had been building up inside erupted.

Xu Qi couldn't imagine the kind of grief he felt.

He finally understood what Mei and the others were thinking when he wanted to do those dangerous things in the past, and no wonder they wanted to follow him all the time.

Xu Qi tapped the armrest of the chair lightly.

We can't always make Rita and the others worry. Once the manuscript for chapter 38 is finished, Xu Qi's workload will actually decrease significantly. Sharing the workload with Rita will make things less tiring.

At that time, I can stay home more and take care of my older sister.

"Xu Qi..."

Hearing the shouts, Xu Qi instinctively turned his head, but before he could move, Rita, wearing pure white gloves, slowly stroked Xu Qi's cheek from behind.

The silky touch sent a shiver through Xu Qi, and the faint fragrance intoxicated him even more.

He felt a mix of trembling and excitement; he seemed to know what Rita was wearing.

"You didn't peek just now, did you?"

Xu Qi quickly shook his head.

"Good boy... Then tonight, I'll reward the master properly."

"You little maid, you're rewarding me now?"

Rita chuckled, leaned down, and pressed her soft, full heart against the back of Xu Qi's head. Her gray-gold hair fell down, swaying in front of Xu Qi's eyes, and her wine-red pupils reflected a captivating charm.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. What can we do when the master is being naughty?"

Rita slowly stood up and walked over to Xu Qi under his expectant gaze.

A fragrant breeze wafted over her, carried by the pure white skirt.

The vibrant wedding dress, adorned with blue roses, swayed with captivating charm.

The rose on her chest trembled gently with each step, swaying along with her rounded breasts.

The wedding dress clung to Rita's alluring curves, and the sheer fabric seemed to drape her fair skin in a dreamlike, hazy hue.

Rita lightly touched her lips with her finger, her eyes alluring as she glanced at Xu Qi.

"Does it look good, my lord? This wedding dress... will only be worn for you."

My heart seemed to stop beating at that moment.

Rita's captivating charm and alluring demeanor are the kind of breathtaking arousal that only she can bring to Xu Qi.

So this was the surprise the little maid had prepared for him...

"I originally planned to wear this outfit and sit quietly on the bed waiting for the master to come back. When the master opened the door, he would see me waiting like a wife."

What a pity... With my husband working overtime, I didn't even have time to come back and decorate the wedding room. All I have is this outfit... Ah!

Rita spoke in a soft, delicate tone, her voice filled with a melancholy.

I doubt any man could stand not doing something.

Besides, to Xu Qi—what little maid? She's my wife! My wife with whom I've had marital relations!

Xu Qi stood up from his chair, hugged Rita tightly, and kissed her deeply.

Xu Qi had the privilege of being held tightly in his arms several times, and each time it ignited the most intense and full love within him.

Right now, Xu Qi is holding Rita tightly, as if he wants to merge her into his body and never be separated from her again.

He kissed her passionately, greedily savoring the saliva from Rita's mouth.

This passionate kiss made not only Xu Qi, but Rita also feel dizzy and almost lose consciousness.

All she wanted was to be dominated and toyed with by the man in front of her.

Rita longed for everything that happened with Xu Qi, loved Xu Qi, loved everything about him, and naturally loved the heavenly pleasure he felt. Western European women, however, didn't have as much reserve and modesty.

The restraint she displayed was merely to make Xu Qi more excited during their intimate moments.

After what seemed like an eternity, the deep kiss finally came to an end.

As their lips parted, the delicate silk threads clung to their mouths, seemingly symbolizing their enduring love.

"Why is the master in such a hurry?"

"Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony for my wife."

Rita slapped Xu Qi in dissatisfaction.

"What are you saying? Are you treating this like a wedding? No way. I only wore this wedding dress to reward you for all your hard work these past few days."

"Even though I'm just a maid, I have high standards. You at least have to give me a decent wedding."

Xu Qi smiled; how could he possibly refuse Rita's request?

But then, as if suddenly remembering something, he abruptly released Rita and said, "Wait! Wait for me!..."

With that, he dashed out of the room like the wind.

Rita stood there dumbfounded, before she could even get angry! Xu Qi rushed back again.

Rita was now genuinely unhappy.

With her fair arms crossed over her chest, she was ready to throw the dress away if Xu Qi didn't offer a reasonable explanation!

fortunately……

Xu Qi's explanation was not only competent but also romantic enough...

As Rita's eyes widened slightly, Xu Qi knelt on one knee and took out a square box from his bosom.

"What are you doing...?"

Xu Qi took Rita's left hand and gently kissed it.

The box was opened, and inside stood a ring, shimmering with a hazy light.

"Miss Rita, will you... marry me?"

……

It was as if all her life's wishes had been fulfilled. Moist tears streamed down Rita's cheeks and fell onto the roses on her chest.
