The sun sets, and night falls.

Xu Qi, who was out having a casual dinner, took Fu Xian'er to Eden's room to check her pulse and assess her condition.

At this moment, Eden was sitting on the bed, and his appearance seemed perfectly normal.

There was no indication that she and Xu Qi had done anything absurd on this bed earlier.

Her long hair, which was originally loose behind her, was deliberately draped in front of her, as if to cover up some mark on her neck.

As for the delicate, fair body beneath those pajamas... well, that's even more unbearable to look at.

After taking Xu Qi's pulse, Fu Xian'er couldn't help but glance at Xu Qi and then at Eden.

This made both of them sweat profusely—you really can't lie to a doctor about anything.

"That's good. Right now, Miss Eden's heart fire is too strong, and the symptoms of heart yang deficiency that I diagnosed earlier have basically disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi was overjoyed!

"Really...really!?"

"Yes, but you still need to rest a bit more. Don't rush, understand?"

Chapter 976, Question 968: Can seven wedding dresses summon a dragon?

"Don't rush, understand?"

Clearly, Fu Xian'er's words were directed at the brother and sister who were acting too hastily.

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly, though he wasn't actually the one in a hurry.

It wasn't until Fu Xian'er left that the siblings were able to escape the awkward atmosphere.

Xu Qi rolled his eyes.

"You got told off, didn't you?"

"Didn't Fu Xian'er just say that my body is recovering very well? This means that doing this kind of thing must be helpful for recovery."

Xu Qi immediately mimicked Bronya's expression, making the same gesture.

"Sister, you're getting better and better at lying through your teeth these days."

Eden tilted his head.

"Really? Actually, I'm not entirely sure if I have a conscience."

Xu Qi: ?

Eden looked at Xu Qi with a look of sudden realization and smiled, "Why don't you touch it and see?"

Xu Qi: ? ? ?

With a flick of his finger on Eden's forehead, the older sister quickly covered her mouth, pouted, and glared angrily at Xu Qi—this younger brother is getting more and more disobedient!

What to do... This is a little too cute.

"Alright, you should get some rest, I..."

"Go back to the room and find Mei?"

Xu Qi stood frozen in place, unable to move, feeling a strong sense of déjà vu about the conversation.

Eden narrowed his eyes, deliberately putting on a magnanimous act, and waved his hand, saying, "Go on, go find your good wife."

You're not acting like you want me to go at all!

Xu Qi sighed, sat down next to Eden, put her arm around her sister's shoulder and said, "I'll sleep with you tonight, okay? You little glutton..."

As he spoke, he gently pinched Eden's nose.

Eden frowned. This younger brother was not very obedient; he dared to constantly defy his older sister's authority.

We need to find an opportunity to make him realize why he was the older sister and Xu Qi was the younger brother!

However... it's really not good to keep bothering Xu Qi like this.

"How about this, you have Alicia and Aponia come over, and tonight we'll reluctantly... let them have it easy."

This plot feels kind of familiar!

Oh, I remember now, wasn't this the same thing done for Eden's birthday last year?

And it seems like my sister's birthday is coming up soon too...

Xu Qi affectionately kissed Eden on the forehead and said.

"Okay, okay~~ You wait here."

"Ah."

When Xu Qi left Eden's room, he found that quite a few people had gathered outside! His eyes widened, and he quickly put his index finger to his lips as a gesture to mute.

As soon as Xu Qi closed the door, everyone couldn't wait to ask him questions.

"Xu Qi, how is Eden? Is he feeling better?"

Seeing everyone's worried expressions, especially Alicia's, Xu Qi walked into the living room and said, "It's alright. Didn't Fu Xian'er go in for a diagnosis just now? Didn't you ask?"

I can only feel at ease if I see you in person.

Everyone agreed with Mei's words.

Looking at the pairs of eyes that went from worried to relaxed, including Snake and Vilvi.

It must be said that Eden is indeed very popular.

Besides, no matter what, they are the landlords of Golden Courtyard, and everyone who lives here owes a debt of gratitude to Eden.

"I've checked, and there's nothing seriously wrong... Alright, it's getting late, everyone should stop gathering here and get some rest."

Xu Qi's words were like those of a head of household; in Eden's absence, he was the number one person in this courtyard.

After everyone had left, Mei was finally able to lean against Xu Qi and gently rubbed his temples with a touch of tenderness.

"You've been taking care of my sister these past few days, it must have been really tough for you."

"That's my sister."

But Xu Qi's words only made things worse... Mei sneered, "Sister?"

As she spoke, her gaze drifted to Xu Qi's neck.

"Sister like that?"

Ok?

Xu Qi quickly touched it!

It was all wet and sticky... Then I took out my phone and took a selfie—there was a very obvious red mark on it, hard to ignore!

No wonder Delta immediately left with the two little girls, and Aponia also instinctively covered Gretsch's eyes.

You all have such keen observation skills...

Xu Qi was caught red-handed by his wife, and he scratched his head awkwardly.

"And she must have been saying bad things about me just now."

Xu Qi was startled; Mei was far too perceptive...

"Well...no, that's not the case..."

Mei chuckled and patted Xu Qi's chest, saying, "Alright, you don't need to worry. I was just guessing—I think my sister has definitely come to terms with it."

From now on, you will be both her younger brother and her husband. Someone as strong-willed as Eden didn't care about me before because she still saw you more as a younger brother.

But seeing how proactive she is now... she definitely sees you more as her husband.

How could I not be nervous!

If your backyard catches fire, that's no joke!

Xu Qi quickly grabbed Mei's hands.

"Mea Yi..."

"Tell me first, why did she ask you to come out?"

Xu Qi hesitated for a moment, but still honestly said, "Let me call Ellie and Aponia in."

Mei smiled after hearing this.

"They must have thought you wanted to come find me, so they forced you to stay..."

Xu Qi turned his head away, not daring to speak.

Who said Mei doesn't know how to catch someone cheating? She's clearly maxed out her skills!

"Why are you nervous? Don't worry, we know what we're doing. But, for the sake of the future, I'll go with you to keep Eden company later."

"what!?"

Mei glared at Xu Qi and gave him a hard kiss on the lips.

"See, you're in a hurry again. I know what you're thinking—'Kings don't meet.' But that's assuming she's a king. What about your sister? Your sister..."

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Xu Qi's neck, leaned her soft body forward, and clung tightly to him, accompanied by a fragrant breeze.

With just a single, captivating glance, he effortlessly ignited Xu Qi's passion.

It's burning hot!

"I don't consider her a rival yet."

She's so good... Mei is just too good!

"However, for the sake of your family's future stability, I need to have a good talk with your sister tonight. Do you understand now?"

Xu Qi nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Mei's smile became even more charming.

She leaned closer and whispered in Xu Qi's ear, "You must still remember those four wedding dresses from last time, right..."

With just one sentence, Xu Qi already felt his blood and energy about to boil!

"Tell me... if I could find you one more, would you be happy?"

"Who?"

They've taken the bait...

Mei's gentle and loving voice, seemingly filled with endless dreams and beauty, softly whispered a name in Xu Qi's ear...

“Ai…Li…hope…Ya~~”

Chapter 977, 969: What exactly did Eden and Mei say that day?

Eden lay quietly resting in bed.

Since she fell ill, she has hardly ever had her feet on the ground.

After recovering, Eden doesn't plan to go straight to work. Instead, he'll go out for a walk and return to the company when he's had enough fun.

It's a good time to take care of those ungrateful wretches in the company.

After she goes back, she'll take the whole pot away.

Thinking of this, the door suddenly opened, and Eden immediately realized that Xu Qi must have returned, along with her best friends Ai Li and Nia.

So she sat up with an elegant smile, and before she could even prepare her words, Mei's pretty face appeared in her field of vision.

Eden: ?

"Wow, you look great, sister!"

……

Eden narrowed his eyes and glared fiercely at Xu Qi—didn't I tell you to find Alicia and Aponia?! Who did you find for me?

Of course, since Mei was already there, she couldn't just show her displeasure, so she maintained her usual elegant demeanor and asked, "Mei, what brings you here?"

"Of course it's because I care about you?"

As Mei spoke, she got onto the bed and sat down next to Eden.

He raised an eyebrow in a provocative manner, as if to say—you're still too green.
