We moved to Golden Courtyard

"I know... actually, from the first moment I met you, I knew what kind of person you were. You must be the kind of young person I dislike the most, bursting with a sense of justice."

So from the beginning, I always harbored prejudice against you.

Xu Qi smiled.

Looking back now, I was pretty stupid... But thankfully, that farewell kiss allowed me to leave you with my first kiss, which can be considered a way of settling my little feelings for you.

Xu Qi, who had just been smiling, suddenly froze.

In an instant, two cold gazes simultaneously fell upon Xu Qi.

I'm sweating buckets...

Xu Qi mouthed – We are innocent.

With a broad smile, Velvet nodded, then twisted her waist and began an offensive that made Xu Qi gasp involuntarily. She herself no longer held back, letting out soft moans.

Mebius then bit Xu Qi's neck with just the right amount of force, making Xu Qi feel the pleasure of being kissed amidst a slight sting.

Both of these actions will undoubtedly make a lot of noise.

Xin'an was taken aback on the other end of the phone.

Immediately, she seemed to realize something, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.

"What...what are you doing over there?"

"N-nothing! Anyway, I understand. I'll treat you to dinner another day, wow! Consider it a thank you. Goodbye!"

Almost the instant the last word was uttered, Xu Qi hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Xin'an listened to the busy tone on her phone, her face flushed, lost in thought.

Clearly... she also realized how badly she had just ruined Xu Qi's life.

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

Ultimately, I and Xu Qi are two different people.

"How arrogant... In front of us, you even talked about giving me your first kiss. You must be very proud of yourself now, right? You deceived such a young girl's heart."

Mebius's words were almost overflowing with jealousy.

Xu Qi gave a wry smile and continued the conversation.

“She’s not a little girl either; she’s two or three years older than me.”

Velvi simply sneered.

"Hey~~ A woman three years older than a man is like holding a gold brick in your palm~~"

When you make a girl jealous, whatever you say is wrong.

Now, all Xu Qi can do is...

"ah!"

Her body was suddenly lifted into the air, then Xu Qi slammed her down onto the sofa. This position undoubtedly made it easier for Xu Qi to exert force, naturally...

The great magician, Velvet, rolled her eyes at Xu Qi with a huff.

"You bastard... Oh! You hit too hard!"

Seeing this, Mebius also hugged Xu Qi from behind, and said something that made people's blood boil with a slightly sinister tone.

"You're not allowed to leave until you've made us feel satisfied."

……

It was nearly noon when Xu Qi finally emerged from Mebius's room.

Even though he was well covered up by his clothes, it wasn't hard to see the red marks on his neck.

It's so clear that it was just planted.

Both professors were exhausted and had fallen asleep; otherwise, Xu Qi probably wouldn't have been able to leave the room at all.

Wow, they really know how to squeeze every last drop out...

Xu Qi shook his head and made a phone call to Kafka.

"Hello, boss."

This is Kafka's new way of addressing Xu Qi. Xu Qi doesn't like the word "master," so she'll just call him "boss" since it's not much different anyway.

"Investigate who exactly is behind the Shanghai Metro's attempts to get trains 956 and 914 back on track. Find out before I go to Europe."

"clear."

"If you have any difficulties, I can ask Pado to help you."

"Please trust in my and Haha Rabbit's abilities, boss."

Xu Qi shrugged noncommittally and hung up the phone.

Standing outside the courtyard, Xu Qi exhaled a breath of hot air and suddenly felt a coolness on his cheek. Looking up, he saw snowflakes falling from the sky.

"Winter is coming..."

Chapter 1063, 1056: This beautiful scene is only missing your presence.

Life is but a fleeting moment.

Sometimes, a whole year can pass by without you even realizing it.

On New Year's Day, Xu Qi invited all his acquaintances to the Golden Courtyard and set up several tables of food and drink in the open space outside the courtyard.

Of course, it wasn't a wedding ceremony, but rather an announcement to everyone who came.

That is, he, Mei, and Alicia had a child together.

Even though it's actually a secret that's not really a secret anymore.

But at least Xu Qi's parents were really finding out for the first time. Because of this, the two elders scolded Xu Qi, blaming him for not telling them sooner.

However, they now have to accept a fact...

His own son had likely committed a crime—bigamy.

After all, Xu Qi's actions were tantamount to implicitly announcing his engagement with Mei and Airi.

Before they had children, the two elderly people could still see their son as just a womanizer, juggling ten or so relationships, all of them girlfriends...

But now that I have children, and two at that!

After that, Xu Qi will definitely have children with his dozen or so boats, one by one.

This is how they became a large family.

For these traditional people, they were momentarily at a loss as to whether to be happy or sad.

But overall, it was a happy occasion.

The New Year's Eve banquet was lively. Although Xu Qi invited all his acquaintances, there weren't many people, and they were mostly women.

There were very few men among them. Apart from the three in the courtyard and Xu Qi's father, there was also Old Xia, whom he always respected, and Minister Qian, who had helped him a lot in his career.

At the same time, they also reached a consensus—when Xu Qi holds his wedding banquet someday, the number of people attending will probably be the same as today, and there won't be any more.

"Our Supervisor Xu is truly... capable of doing what ordinary people cannot..."

Su smiled and looked at Minister Qian Chen. The men were naturally gathered at a table, and apart from Kosmo, everyone was an adult.

Chatting with each other keeps the conversation from getting awkward.

"Is this the first time Minister Qian has heard about Xu Qi?"

"How could that be? I really didn't expect him to say it so openly."

"Xiao Xu is a genuine person, and he treats everyone as one of his own."

The oldest person at the table was probably Chief Engineer Xia, but the old man accepted the fact that Xu Qi had children with both women in an instant.

"Old Xia is right. I wonder who the best man will be on Supervisor Xu's wedding day."

“It should be Kosmo,” Sue replied.

Kevin looked at Sue, puzzled.

"Because Daisy Dobby will be the bridesmaid."

Qian Chen and Old Xia glanced at the young man whose eyes were clearly flustered, smiled knowingly, and revealed expressions that all men understood.

"It seems this young man will have to work a bit harder."

Even the hot-tempered Qian Jie burst into hearty laughter.

Su found it hard to believe that Qianjie could laugh; it was as terrifying as Kevin's laughter.

But that was probably also a blessing for Kosmo.

……

At this moment, Celine's mother was watching her daughter and Theresa and the others playing together with a look of melancholy on her face, truly proving the saying that children should sit at the same table when eating.

My daughter... can't you be more mindful?

If you also get pregnant, wouldn't Mom not have to worry about you so much?

Xin'an poured himself another glass of wine.

When she saw Xu Qi beaming with happiness as he announced to everyone that Mei and Alicia were pregnant, she drank the glass of wine as if it were inexhaustible, sipping it continuously...

"Even someone with a huge capacity for alcohol will get drunk if they keep drinking like this."

Xin'an turned his head and saw a woman with fiery red hair.

She recognized the person—Himeko, from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Department.

"Thank you."

After saying that, he continued to refill his own bowl, one bite at a time.

Himeko raised an eyebrow, forcefully clinked glasses with the other person, and said, "You like Xu Qi, huh..."

As if her deepest secret had been exposed, Xin'an said blankly, "So what if I like you? I'm not the kind of woman who... can disregard worldly opinions."

Ji Zi stopped answering and instead drank cup after cup with Xin An.

"Brother Xu Qi!"

Amidst laughter and cheers, Greta ran towards Xu Qi and threw herself into his arms. Xu Qi, delighted, lifted Greta high on his head, letting her ride on his shoulders.

The two were having a great time, but Eden was horrified by what he saw and quickly said something.

"Gresh! Get down! How can you ride on your brother's head?"

Greta pouted, looking aggrieved, which amused Xu Qi.

"Okay, sis, I'm fine. I can sit still, so don't worry."

Eden was completely helpless against Xu Qi's doting affection, just as she doted on Xu Qi herself.

Carrying Gretchen, Xu Qi joined Theresa and the others in their play.

Mei looked helplessly at her husband, who was also like a child who hadn't grown up, running and jumping around, laughing just like Gretchen riding on his shoulders.

He's about to become a father, but he still doesn't act properly...

But... it's pretty good too.

It's been over a month since I conceived, and my belly hasn't changed much. According to Sister Xian'er and the others, I should wait at least three months.

But Mei could clearly feel that a brand new little life was growing inside her. Airi probably felt the same way.

While playing, Xu Qi suddenly turned around and looked at Mei and Airi.

Mei smiled gently, while Airi waved vigorously. Judging from her excited appearance, if she weren't pregnant, she probably would have already joined them.

Xu Qi suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

It has been almost three years since I came to Golden Courtyard.

Could I have imagined three years ago that things would turn out this way?

It was only after arriving at the Golden Courtyard that he had everything he had today.

Thinking about it this way, shouldn't I thank those two kids from my uncle's family who broke my figurine back then?
