We moved to Golden Courtyard

"I...and Xu Qi...have a child..."

In the end, it was Mei who, in her soft and weak voice, brought up the matter.

Perhaps all girls in the world would have this attitude towards their parents after getting pregnant... especially at Mei's age, when she can't even get a marriage certificate.

Almost visibly, Raiden Ryoma, sitting on the other side of the glass window, began to tremble.

He didn't look at Mei, but stared straight at Xu Qi!

Even Xu Qi felt guilty and looked away.

"Mei, let him talk to me."

Mei glanced at Xu Qi with concern, and that one glance made Raiden Ryoma realize that his daughter completely belonged to Xu Qi.

Just as Xu Qi put the microphone to his ear, Lei Dianlongma spoke in a calm and clear voice.

"grass!"

"..."

Perhaps because he was about to become a father, Xu Qi imagined what would happen if Mei gave birth to a daughter, raised her with great care, and then she ran off with some wild boy from outside.

She's also pregnant...

Xu Qi will probably hurl even harsher insults.

However, while I understand, Xu Qi is not one to passively accept things as they are.

"You're still in jail. Say that to me when you get out."

"..."

In the end, Raiden Ryoma had to accept the fact that he was going to be a grandfather.

When did this happen?

"It was just diagnosed yesterday, more than a week ago."

Raiden Ryoma's lips trembled, but he couldn't bring himself to say, "I entrust my daughter to you from now on..." The more he thought about it, the more he realized how incompetent he had been.

If he hadn't gone to jail, at least he wouldn't have! ...And he wouldn't have let his daughter get pregnant before marriage...

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Xu Qi smiled.

"There's nothing to say. If you want some comforting words, all I can say is that I will be good to Mei and that I will take care of Mei from now on."

But...isn't that obvious? So I won't say anything.

"Young people, often people need these comforting words as a way to save face..."

"Anyway, you're in jail, so you can't stop Mei and me."

Thunder Dragon Horse fell silent again.

Mei could even imagine the speechless feeling her father must be feeling, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon hearing Mei's laughter, both men couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps only on this point can the father-in-law and son-in-law reach a consensus.

“Mei… has always been working hard. She will take a year off from school, but that won’t prevent her from going to a big law firm and becoming an excellent lawyer in the future.”

Mei suddenly stopped laughing, turned her head away, and her cheeks were flushed.

Lei Dian Long Ma looked up at his daughter standing to the side. He knew why Xu Qi had told him all this.

"Tell Mei that I'm doing well inside, so she... doesn't need to worry."

Chapter 1060, Section 1053: Sister Himeko Wants to Try

Xu Qi was also unaware whether this could be considered a reconciliation between father and daughter.

But at least since she was released from the detention center, Mei's mood has been pretty good.

However, after sending Mei back to the courtyard, they encountered an unexpected guest.

"Sister Himeko?"

Upon meeting, the hot and mature female officer immediately complained to him, "Xu Qi, you've really put me in a lot of trouble..."

Xu Qi asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Sister Ji Zi?"

As he spoke, he escorted Mei back to the inner room.

Seeing this, Himeko suppressed her complaints and asked curiously.

"This is……"

"I'm pregnant."

Himeko's mouth now looked as big as if she could fit an egg in it, and she couldn't help but smack her lips.

Other young girls are already pregnant before they're even 20, and what about her? She's over 30 and hasn't even experienced the pleasures of a man!

Comparing yourself to others is just asking for trouble...

Xu Qi took a set of food from the kitchen and placed it on the wooden table in the living room, inviting Ji Zi to sit opposite him.

"Today I just went to complete the leave of absence procedures and also visited my father-in-law."

"The one in jail?"

"Hmm." Xu Qi had actually told Ji Zi about this, since they were police officers, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to let her know in advance.

Himeko shook her head again.

These young girls not only have a good eye for people, but they're also lucky.

It's so great to meet a man like Xu Qi and then immediately win him over...

As for myself, not only have I not been interested in anyone all these years, but now that I'm this age, most of the people who are willing to approach me... have other intentions.

Himeko understood; what could she do in this society?

"Himeko-neechan, you didn't come here today just to complain to me, did you...? Huh? Where's Theresa? Why didn't she come out to greet you?"

After Xu Qi finished speaking, he noticed Ji Zi's strange expression and his expression froze.

Theresa didn't come to work today, she took sick leave. I was worried about my old comrade, so I came to visit her, but... she's still locked herself in her room.

Xu Qi knew that she was probably just shy.

"You guys last night..."

Before Ji Zi could finish speaking, Xu Qi nodded.

"Sigh... I thought it was one thing to be outdone by a 20-year-old girl, but I never expected to be outdone by my old comrade-in-arms as well."

Xu Qi, how do you think they manage to find such high-quality resources?

Xu Qi smiled awkwardly, not daring to answer.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, let's get down to business."

Xu Qi's expression immediately turned serious.

"French police recently uncovered a transnational smuggling case. Interpol has contacted the Shanghai police and requested the dispatch of two officers to assist in the investigation."

Xu Qi was stunned for a moment, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

“Both Theresa and I are on the list. You're Theresa's boyfriend, so you're considered family, so…wait? That expression of yours is off…”

Xu Qi immediately smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Is...is that so?"

However, sitting in front of him was a veteran detective who had dealt with criminals for over a decade.

But then Himeko leaned closer, her playful smile revealing a sharp glint in her eyes.

"Um... the tea is ready, please have some tea first, sister..."

Xu Qi pushed the teacup in front of Ji Zi, but the other party remained unmoved, her eyes still fixed on Xu Qi, her index finger lightly tapping the table, one tap after another... as if tapping on Xu Qi's heart.

"..."

The atmosphere seemed to freeze, and just as Xu Qi hesitated, Ji Zi smiled first.

"Since you're unwilling to talk about it, then I won't press you further." (Xi Bu Jun · Yang, 1)3;7: Seven ·--7,)

"No! Sister, I... I really shouldn't have kept this from you."

Xu Qi sighed inwardly—the fact that his girlfriend's best friend was a criminal police officer was indeed putting a lot of pressure on him.

But Xu Qi thought again and realized that this might not be such a bad thing.

He had witnessed Himeko's abilities firsthand. If this trip to Europe could make her an asset, it would also strengthen his team.

Xu Qi hesitated only slightly before telling Ji Zi about his plan to go to Europe after the New Year.

He didn't deliberately hide any details, but told them all.

Since he had already decided to seek the other party's help, Xu Qi naturally wouldn't hide anything. Besides, Ji Zi was someone he could trust.

After Xu Qi finished speaking, Ji Zi stared at him with her mouth half open, completely incredulous.

“Destiny… Anti-Entropy… You know there are two of them!…”

“I know, and you should know, sister, that I’ve even had direct confrontations with them.”

"..."

Himeko rubbed her temples.

"I never expected that your small Golden Courtyard would gather so many talented people... Now that you've told me all this, if I don't stand on the same side as you, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this gate."

Xu Qi smiled knowingly.

"Sister, you know me, I'm not that kind of person."

"Too dangerous..."

"But I have to go. The people around me have lived in the shadow of these two organizations for years! Once they completely control the situation in Europe..."

The peaceful daily life we ​​once knew will be completely gone, and that is something I cannot accept.

Himeko noodles are complex.

She should have known from the beginning that this was a young man with a strong sense of justice and responsibility.

He was willing to stand in his own way to stop that never-ending train, and he was also willing to put on that dangerous armor again and go into battle for his friends.

What a little guy who can never learn to run away.

Himeko stood up and waved.

Xu Qi walked forward in confusion, but after only a couple of steps, Ji Zi suddenly pressed his chin down, followed by a delicate fragrance that filled his nostrils, and...

The softness and beauty of those lips.

This feeling was fleeting, because Himeko quickly released him.

With a slightly intoxicating flush, Himeko patted Xu Qi's cheek.

"Consider this as interest. Theresa and I will head to Europe first. Remember to contact us when you arrive."

Without the coyness of a young girl, she kissed without hesitation; this is the carefree charm of a mature older woman.

So much so that Xu Qi blurted out something without thinking.

"And what kind of compensation do I need to pay?"

Her alluring gaze pierced straight into the depths of Xu Qi's heart.

"We'll talk about it when we get there. Don't rush things."

Xu Qi blushed, clearly realizing that this older woman had seen right through her thoughts.

"I'm leaving, goodbye."

Without a trace of regret, he turned and left.

It was as if nothing had happened.

But the lingering fragrance on his lips served as a constant reminder of what had happened before.
