We moved to Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi embraced the woman in front of him. Now it seems that perhaps they were both happy to see Sister Eden join them, but also had some unnecessary worries.

It seems that once I'm really with my sister, it will be necessary to have a family meeting or something similar.

The house is too big, it's hard to manage...

Life seemed to have finally returned to normal. Although Eden fainted in the recording studio that day, his recovery was actually faster than in the previous days!

According to Sister Xian'er, that means the knot in her heart has been untied, and her congenital yang deficiency will naturally recover slowly.

However, I haven't fully recovered yet. This medicine... needs one last ingredient.

"What medicine?"

Fu Xian'er pointed at Xu Qi.

"you."

Chapter 980, page 972: Happy Birthday, Eden!

On Eden's birthday.

This year is different from previous years. Right now, Eden is either on a business trip abroad or working overtime at the company, so there are very few times when we can celebrate Eden's birthday in the yard.

Everyone still remembers that they were the tenants, and Eden was their landlord.

So after some discussion, they decided to treat the 31st as a special holiday.

"From now on, October 31st is both Eden's birthday and the founding day of the Golden Garden!"

In the living room, Alicia blew up balloons while telling stories to the Vodka sisters.

Why is it the anniversary of its creation?

"Eden, you know... According to the Bible, the Garden of Eden is the origin of humankind. It was there that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, and the first human was born."

"Oh……"

The two little girls seemed to understand but not quite, so Rosalia asked again.

"Why was it that eating the forbidden fruit led to the birth of the first human? Is it true that having children is achieved by eating fruit?"

Alicia: ? ? ?

Alicia, who had already secretly—no, I mean openly—eaten the forbidden fruit dozens of times, scratched her head. This… isn’t this a bit inappropriate for children?

"Hmm... how about we change the subject?"

"Huh!?~~"

Fu Hua, who had been listening for a while, covered her face. If Delta were here, she would make sure Ai Li was in deep trouble! What are you teaching this child?!

Rita, who was passing by, couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.

"It's alright, the two little girls will grow up sooner or later, consider this their enlightenment."

“Miss Rita, please don’t apply your Western-style open-minded views to two girls who are still in junior high school.”

"Huh? But even here, shouldn't junior high school be at the stage where sex education should be universally available?"

Fu Hua's mouth dropped open slightly.

Is...is that so?

“Hua, Rita is right. When I was in junior high, the school even organized a grade-level assembly and invited an outside professor to give a special lecture on this topic.”

Mei walked in from outside carrying a large bag of flour. Hearing the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Ugh?"

Fu Hua's mouth was half open. Could she say that she only found out about it when some of her female friends at university jokingly told her a few things?

If I had to categorize it strictly... it could only be considered enlightenment, or education...

Ha, even Xu Qi, as the older brother, came in person.

A vivid practical experience directly replaced the course.

"No...you didn't have it back then, did you?"

Then we'll have to ask someone.

Fu Hua narrowed his eyes and stared at Fu Xian'er, who was brewing medicine.

"What are you talking about? You seem so happy."

Upon hearing her teacher's voice, Fu Hua clicked her tongue in annoyance and looked at the several large bags of snacks Xu Qi was carrying, asking...

"Who did you buy this for?"

"I bought it for Gretchen. She's a kid, and with this holiday-like atmosphere, she complained early this morning that she didn't have many snacks at home, so I went to buy some."

"Xu Qi, please don't spoil her too much."

Behind Xu Qi, Aponia, dressed in a form-fitting nun's habit, said something but still obediently held a bag of snacks in her hand.

Tsk, you two should just spoil little Greta to death.

"Speaking of which, what about Eden?"

“I had Ying and the others take my sister to my house. My parents entertained her there at noon, and by the time we get back in the evening, everything should be ready.”

As soon as Xu Qi finished speaking, Kosmo, who was hanging the chandelier, lost his footing and fell off the ladder onto the sofa.

Desdobia, standing nearby, was laughing hysterically.

Xu Qi silently looked at the scene before him and added.

"Hmm... I think I can finish setting it up."

“I’ve already told you there’s no need to make such a big fuss. All you do is listen to Xu Qi’s nonsense and follow his reckless actions.”

It wasn't until evening that Ying finally brought Eden out of Xu Qi's house and towards the courtyard.

After a few days of rest and recuperation, Eden's complexion became visibly rosy and healthy, no longer looking sickly as before.

If a few days ago she had two delicately arched eyebrows, seemingly furrowed yet not quite, and eyes that seemed to weep yet not quite, filled with dew, then her face bore the marks of sorrow, and her delicate frame was shrouded in illness.

Now, her face is radiant with spring-like beauty, her smile heard before her lips even part.

Just now, his demeanor was so dignified and unique, he had completely regained the demeanor of the former chairman of the Gold Group.

If it were anyone else, they would probably only dare to nod and bow, agreeing with whatever Eden said without daring to overstep their bounds.

However, Sakura is no ordinary person.

He said bluntly, "You're just saying one thing and meaning another. You're clearly very happy inside, but you insist on saying we shouldn't make such a big deal out of it. Xu Qi isn't here, so who are you trying to fool?"

To be honest, that one-second slash was visibly brutal and bloody.

Eden pursed his lips, speechless.

However, she also understood Ying. Ying had always been like this; she wasn't exactly straightforward, but she never kept anything to herself, and this was even more true after she started dating Xu Qi.

"Sakura, what kind of surprise do you think Xiaoqi will prepare for me?"

"I don't know, he's probably preparing for himself."

Eden: ? ? ?

Experienced, mature women are definitely different; their speech is more suggestive than risqué.

"Sakura, can't you be normal for once?"

"Ugh……"

Sakura sighed as she continued driving.

"Everyone in the courtyard is anxious about you and Xu Qi. Now that you've finally become a couple, why don't you hurry up and taste the forbidden fruit? What are you waiting for?"

"Couldn't this... be a Platonic love?"

Sakura gave Eden a look that told her to figure it out herself.

Okay, that's really not realistic.

The two people don't have any physical defects, so why insist on some kind of Platonic spiritual love? Isn't that just like walking with a limp? Being disabled isn't good.

The car drove back to Golden Courtyard. As soon as we got out of the car, we saw that the entrance was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, which looked festive.

Eden suddenly had a premonition—could this be the bridal chamber for me and Xu Qi?

Just thinking about it made steam start to rise from above my head.

So...so embarrassing...

When Sakura saw Eden standing still, she roughly guessed what he was thinking and found it both funny and sweet.

Women in love do seem to lose their sense of reason, since they spend most of their energy thinking about men.

Jealous?

not at all.

For Sakura, she already has everything wonderful, and besides, if this person is Eden, she really can't be jealous.

"Let's go."

Eden walked slowly toward the door.

She took a deep breath, feeling as if she were completing a ritual—once she passed through this door, she would be the daughter-in-law of the Xu family.

But it's clearly my house!

Never mind, they're all the same. Mine is mine, isn't it my brother's?

The moment the gate opened, cannons roared, and amidst the falling ribbons, Eden heard the sound that brought her the most happiness this year, or perhaps in her entire life.

Happy Birthday, Eden!

Chapter 981, 973: Eden's Last Gift Tonight

Pushing the food cart slowly out, Xu Qi peeked out from behind the enormous cake that almost obscured her figure and said, "Happy birthday, sister!"

So, I told you all not to make it so grand.

Surrounded by the crowd, Eden stepped forward, but before he could speak, a small figure emerged from under the food cart.

Little Gretchen buried her face in Eden's arms and said with a grin.

Happy birthday, Mommy Eden!

No matter how serious he was with little Gretchen on ordinary days, he couldn't be serious at all in this situation. With a smile on his face, he squatted down and picked Gretchen up.

"Did you pay attention in class and go to school while I was sick these past few days?"

Greta's little face immediately fell, which made everyone laugh.

It was Dr. Mei who stepped in to defuse the situation.

"Alright, Eden, little Greta is very good. She's finished her homework without anyone watching her these past few days."

"Really?"

Greta nodded repeatedly.

This is indeed the second piece of good news Eden has received today.

"Sis, stop scolding the kid and hurry up and cut the cake. So many people have been waiting for this moment."

Mei rolled her eyes and nudged Xu Qi.

"Why cut the cake? You haven't even made a wish yet, and you're already cutting the cake. All you think about is eating."

Eden put Gretchen down, and at that moment, Kevin stepped forward and handed over three candles.

"Thank you for your care over the past few years... Happy birthday."

Perhaps no one expected that this icy man would offer his blessings on Eden's birthday. Eden's eyes widened slightly, clearly surprised.

"Thank you for your hard work too, Kevin."

As Eden accepted the candle, Kevin looked at Xu Qi, and Xu Qi stepped forward as well.

To the longtime residents of the courtyard, Kevin was always like an older brother to them—cold, serious, and unsmiling, but absolutely trustworthy.

Xu Qi always refers to Kevin as "Boss Kevin".

Even now, it seems that he is the true master of the Golden Courtyard.
