We moved to Golden Courtyard

Seeing that Eden had started taking deep breaths, Xu Qi was afraid of upsetting his sister, so he quickly raised his hand and slapped Mebius's pert buttocks.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out in the living room. Eden was stunned, Möbius was stunned, and even Lin Lai, who had come to the living room to ask her son to get the fruit plate, was stunned.

Oh... so my son and daughter-in-law have such fancy ways of doing things...

Next time, let's talk about these girly things separately with Mebius or the other girls, so that Xu Qi doesn't act recklessly.

"Alright, stop talking. Your sister is sick. How can you be like this? If you say another word, I'll definitely not let you off tonight!"

Eden narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Qi.

You're not going to let her off the hook tonight—so how do you plan to punish her?

Mebius smirked indifferently, gave Eden a defiant look, and then obediently stopped talking.

Hiss! ~~ Snake isn't being stubborn anymore, my youth is over.

"But Snake, does it get tiring to run around like this? If it does..."

“It’s nothing…” Mebius shook his head, and as if he had thought of something, the coldness in his snake eyes seemed to gradually fade away.

"It's great to have such filial parents. And your parents are really good to me. They say they treat me like a daughter-in-law, but I feel like they treat me like half a daughter..."

Your father is also very interesting. Whenever I mention you, he can't help but tell me embarrassing stories about you when you were little, and he just can't stop talking about them.

Thanks to him, I learned that you didn't study hard in high school and even chased after a girl, only to be rejected.

"Uh..." Xu Qi scratched his head. Why did his dad tell everyone everything...?

Eden listened from the side, his eyes also filled with admiration.

"Where's your mother? She keeps talking about you and asking me about you all the time. Every time I bring it up, your father runs away, looking like he's not interested at all."

Actually... you have to listen carefully!

As the words flowed, Mebius's heart seemed to melt as well, and his originally cold, serpentine eyes now seemed to be tinged with warmth.

"So this is what a normal family is like... So you are really lucky, Xu Qi."

Mebius's words caused both Xu Qi and Eden to fall silent.

As for Xu Qi, he knew most of Mebius's past experiences, he knew about Snake's childhood, and he knew that she had a terrible father.

She also knew that... both her parents were gone.

Looking at Möbius, Eden suddenly understood why, given her personality, she would be willing to set up a clinic here and frequently come to give lectures.

Because that was a kind of familial affection that Mebius had never experienced in his entire life.

Xu Qi.

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

……

Xu Qi gently rubbed Mebius's head.

"What are you saying? You're my wife..."

The little snake's lips curled up in a smile, and its blissful expression made it almost unrecognizable as Mebius.

Seeing this, Eden couldn't help but look at Xu Qi.

Unlike Mebius, she experienced the meaning of blood ties, but unfortunately, she has lost it.

So when Eden rediscovered that love, Xu Qi... had already become her only one.

Chapter 962, Page 954: Besides studying, what else can a library do...?

The family dinner that evening was naturally held at Xu Qi's home.

Since I'm out to relax anyway, I might as well not go home.

In the evening, he took his family for a walk along the Huangpu River. The river breeze brought a touch of autumn coolness, but Xu Qi dared not only think about his own comfort.

Noticing the strong wind, she quickly pulled Eden into her arms.

My sister is weak and sensitive to cold, so she can't be exposed to the wind like this.

Möbius watched with a pang of jealousy, but couldn't say anything; after all, Eden was ill. Suddenly, he felt a little like getting sick himself…

Isn't this mentality a bit like a child who pretends to be sick because they see others who are sick and don't have to go to school?

Hmph! I, Möbius, am not that naive...

After walking for a short while, the professor, looking exhausted, leaned against Xu Qi's other side, holding her forehead, and asked Xu Qi to put her arm around her.

"Xu Qi, I'm tired."

Why are you acting like a little kid?

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated. The two elders had been walking ahead, and when they happened to turn around and saw their son with one woman on each arm, Lin Lai quickly pulled Xu Youde away.

Before leaving, Xu Youde kept muttering to himself, "The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be..."

Lin Lai lectured you—aren't you envious? Want to be like your son?

The rest of the conversation was unclear, but it seemed that his father was about to get a severe scolding from his mother.

Eden looked at Mebius with displeasure.

“Look at your ridiculous appearance, you scared the two old people away.”

"Tch! Xu Qi's mother keeps talking about whether anyone is pregnant. They can't wait for the Xu family to have an heir."

How could Eden dare to respond?

After all, she had never even slept with Xu Qi...

However, when this was mentioned, Xu Qi's expression couldn't help but darken.

It's happened so many times, and it's not like I specifically chose to have sex during the safe period, but I still can't get pregnant every time... Mei was so anxious about this for a while, and she thought it was her problem.

Fortunately, since everyone else was having trouble getting pregnant, Mei stopped panicking.

Xu Qi panicked!

So that's my problem...

Mebius seemed to realize that he had brought up something that was not easy to talk about, and said reassuringly, "I have been studying the activity of your tadpoles."

There's been some progress lately, don't worry, I guarantee your Xu family will be blessed with many children and grandchildren.

Xu Qi knew that Snake was trying to comfort him, and said with a helpless smile, "I would be content with just one of them."

Eden walked to the side, feeling for the first time that he couldn't join in their conversation.

"Sister, it's cold by the river. Would you like to go back to the car and sit for a while?"

"What, am I disturbing your lovey-dovey moment? If you think I'm in the way, you can stop protecting me and go hug your Mebius instead."

Mebius was astonished!

She turned her head in shock—was this still Eden? Why was she so jealous?

Xu Qi was also taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, how could I dislike you? You're my older sister, I'm just worried you'll get cold... Why are you getting jealous all the time?"

Eden turned his face away and remained silent.

She also noticed that since her health deteriorated, her emotions and personality seemed to have changed.

Maybe it's because... I don't feel very safe.

If Xu Qi hadn't been by her side all along, the changes would probably have been even greater.

Mebius leaned on the railing, gazing at the scenery across the river, seemingly recalling how he used to drive Xu Qi to the Huangpu River.

Then there was the passionate car scene with Xu Qi... um...

I'm starting to feel nostalgic.

"Let's go back. It's really cold. Fu Xian'er also told me that it's not good to catch a cold in Eden."

Eden was taken aback, not expecting Mebius to say such a thing. Was he... really concerned about her?

"What do you mean, sister?"

"Then... let's go back."

However, Eden, weakened by illness and with less attention to his surroundings, failed to notice the sickly light flickering in Möbius's alluring pupils.

On the way back, Mebius was driving.

However, when the car arrived at the building, Snake suddenly said, "Eden, you go up first. Xu Qi and I have some things to take care of."

Eden's eyes widened suddenly!

"Get...get something done? What do you want to do?"

Even Xu Qi was taken aback – what was Snake up to?

Möbius's lips curled into a smile, his dangerously vertical pupils fixed on Eden, and at the same time, he reached out and touched Xu Qi's face in the passenger seat...

A slender little tongue licked it, sending a shiver down Xu Qi's spine.

Mebius turned around.

"What do you want to do? Eden? Or... together?"

……

The silence lasted only a few seconds before Eden scurried out of the car as if fleeing! Her swift movements almost made Xu Qi think she wasn't sick. Before leaving, she hurriedly asked Xu Qi for the house key and went upstairs.

Hmm...that's pretty fast...

"Tch... He has the desire to steal, but not the courage."

Professor, it feels like you're talking about me, not my sister.

The car restarted, and Xu Qi immediately understood what Snake was thinking.

He couldn't help but tease, "So eager?"

"Don't misunderstand, little guinea pig. I'm very dissatisfied with you. You've been working all month long. Isn't it time to hand over your dues?"

That's true...

"Hmm...where to?"

"Do you remember the last time we were by the Huangpu River? We were in the car that time."

Xu Qi's heart began to race.

How could such a change escape Möbius's notice? He glanced at Xu Qi with amusement, his eyes filled with pride—he knew he was the one most capable of arousing Xu Qi's interest.

This time, however, the car didn't drive to the Huangpu River, but instead drove into a university.

Xu Qi was puzzled.

"Snake, what are you doing...?"

"Come with me."

The two got out of the car and strolled through the campus at night. To be fair, Mebius's current attire actually suited the mood quite well.

She's a bit like a beautiful doctoral supervisor who takes her students out for a secret rendezvous in the middle of the night.

Wait……

"Look, the library is just ahead."

"The library?" Xu Qi was starting to panic.

Mebius turned her face, her alluring expression concealing a deadly aura.

“One of the professors at this school used to be a member of my project team, so I was able to use their library and labs freely.”

As he spoke, Mebius stepped forward.

Behind her, in the brightly lit library, countless students were studying late into the night, preparing for civil service exams and postgraduate entrance exams.

In front of her was a graduate who was being seduced by a beautiful, serpentine professor.
