We moved to Golden Courtyard

One night, Xu Qi asked everyone in the courtyard to gather in the outer yard.

At first, no one realized anything was wrong.

But when they saw Xu Qi standing silently in the courtyard with a serious expression, they all seemed to know in an instant that he was about to say something.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xu Qi didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

"This morning, Kafka received some updates about Europe. Anna has also successfully established herself in Europe."

The situation over there... is no longer looking good.

And what a pessimistic outlook means is clear to everyone gathered in this courtyard.

"I thought I could stay a little longer, but it seems... I wasn't given that chance. The battle between destiny and the resistance is about to move from the shadows to the open."

Previously, things were at least outwardly peaceful, but now the two sides are on the verge of a complete falling out, and I think... I can't wait any longer."

The atmosphere in the courtyard plummeted to almost freezing point after Xu Qi's words.

Mei remained silent, but in the end, it was Alicia who asked.

When do you plan to leave?

"...Next week."

That is, seven days.

"Furthermore, given the current complex situation in Europe, we need to proceed in batches. Durandal and Rita will go ahead first to establish a safe foothold for us."

Theresa and Himeko will be on an Interpol mission and will arrive shortly after. Snake, you and Velvet are on standby on Dr. Mei's ship. (4) 0

Sister Xian'er and Sister Ying have to leave from Japan, so you two need to head there tomorrow. Kevin and Su will sneak into the tour group, while Qianjie will go on his own; hopefully, he can cause quite a stir.

One order and task after another came out of Xu Qi's mouth in an orderly manner.

Everyone felt that chilling atmosphere.

As everyone knows, going to Europe is an irreversible decision.

As for the others, Xu Qi had already spoken with them individually. They would stay in the Golden Garden, both to accompany Mei and Airi and to protect them.

With her sisters by her side, Xu Qi was able to travel to Europe without any worries.

At this point, Bronya asked a question.

"And you? How do you plan to get there?"

“I will be the last to depart with Paddo, as the executive director of ET to expand into overseas markets.”

"..."

Bronya stood up and left the courtyard without saying a word.

No one reprimanded or stopped her from acting out of spite.

Everyone can understand how the other person feels at that moment.

Fu Hua sighed. Even she would find it hard to accept at this moment.

"I'll go talk to her."

After saying that, he also left the scene.

The crowd looked on with concern, unsure whether to look at Xu Qi or at Bronya and Fu Hua who had left.

“Since it’s already decided,” Mei walked to Xu Qi’s side, quietly standing shoulder to shoulder with him, facing everyone, “then let’s proceed according to the original plan.”

Mei's courage is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Watching everyone leave, Mei stroked her belly with one hand and sighed softly.

"Go and comfort her. Bronya is such a proud person. She can't accept not being able to be by your side, nor can she accept the fact that she can't help you in any way."

She must be feeling incredibly guilty right now, blaming herself for... not being able to do anything.

"She'll figure it out. I have that confidence in Bronya."

“Me too, but…” Mei squeezed Xu Qi’s big hand and tickled his palm, a playful gesture that seemed to bring her back to that carefree and youthful stage.

"She's just a girl, and although she's a strong woman like her sister, Bronya is different—she can sometimes be like a child inside, easily feeling wronged and prone to tantrums."

Spend more time with her; you don't need to spend all seven of her last days with us.

Chapter 1079, Section 1072: When your wife is being difficult, you always have to appease her.

Bronya pushed the door open with a slightly irritated expression and returned to her room, sitting silently on the floor.

She had her favorite PS5 right next to her, but now... she had absolutely no interest in using it.

A sudden emptiness filled her heart, as if something very important had been taken away, and Bronya's eyes welled up with tears.

Fu Hua followed the other person into the room.

Seeing that Bronya didn't make a big fuss, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Fu Hua didn't interact much with this ET president. To put it jokingly, she was from the company, and I was from the courtyard, so we couldn't connect.

However, they all share the same identity – that is, Xu Qi's lover.

Ultimately, they weren't truly divided into two camps that were hostile to each other.

People are just joking around, and nobody takes it seriously.

Fu Hua walked over and sat down next to Bronya, speaking casually.

"Brother...you must have already talked to me, right?"

"Um……"

"Then why are you still so angry?"

"Maybe they changed their minds."

Hearing such a childish remark made Fu Hua unable to help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at... Are you here to help your brother persuade me? Then I advise you to stop wasting your time here. At least tonight, I will never forgive him!"

"President Bronya, you've guessed wrong. I'm here to empathize with you."

The two looked at each other and found each other more pleasing than ever before.

The two, who had no prior interaction, suddenly realized that she was an interesting woman, and... worthy of their deeper friendship.

Bronya took two bottles of beer out of the refrigerator.

Although she is the CEO, she doesn't drink any high-end foreign liquor. It's not that she has to be different from Eden, it's just that she's simply... not interested.

"Sizzle!~~"

The moment the tab is opened, besides a crisp sound, there's the sound of the ice-cold beer being released.

"Want some?"

"I wasn't originally going to drink, but I have to give them this much face."

The beer was poured into their glasses, and the two clinked glasses to celebrate their newly formed friendship. Both Bronya and Fu Hua's approach to friendship leaned more towards men.

Often, finding something pleasing to the eye is the most important thing.

When Xu Qi arrived, the two women were already lying on their backs, having drunk a great deal. Xu Qi began to wonder if he had been gone for a long time.

"Huh? Hmph! You... heartless bastard! How dare you even come here!"

Bronya was clearly a better drinker and could also talk.

Fu Hua was completely dazed and sprawled on Bronya's body.

She's still a college student, and we hadn't let her have much exposure to alcohol before. Today, Bronya dragged her to drink who knows how much, so it's no wonder she's this drunk.

However, Bronya getting this drunk from beer... it's probably not due to the alcohol.

Xu Qi sniffed it—damn, it seems to contain vodka!?

Xu Qi hoisted Fu Hua onto his back and said to Ya Ya, "Alright, I know you're not drunk. Do me a favor and carry Fu Hua back, okay?"

"Nonsense!" Bronya stood up and slumped against Xu Qi. "I'm drunk!"

Ha, just kidding, Russians can get drunk.

Xu Qi shook his head, placed Fu Hua on a chair, and turned to comfort Bronya, saying, "Then you stay here for a while. I'll come find you after I've settled Hua in."

"Don't leave!"

The woman shouted, almost startling Xu Qi. Before he could speak, Bronya wrapped her arms around him.

Given such precise timing, Xu Qi would never believe she was drunk.

However, one might get drunk on their own rather than on the wine itself.

"Why...why did you leave me here? Is it because I'm not capable of staying by your side?! Or are you tired of me?"

Fueled by alcohol, Bronya blurted out everything she should and shouldn't have said.

Xu Qi was not annoyed.

He knew Bronya harbored resentment, and he also knew her unease at that moment.

It seems impossible to take little Fu Hua away; there's a big baby here who desperately needs comforting.

"Bronya, you've really had too much to drink."

"I know perfectly well whether I've had too much to drink! Answer my question first!"

Xu Qi looked at her quietly. He knew that no matter what he said, she wouldn't feel good because the result would be that she wouldn't be able to go to Europe with him.

Bronya, who has been battling in the business world for many years, has always placed more emphasis on results.

Xu Qi suddenly released her and placed her on the chair. This startled Bronya, who then picked up Fu Hua and put her on the bed.

After taking off his shoes and covering himself with the blanket, he walked back to Bronya's side.

This made Bronya even angrier.

She felt that Xu Qi didn't value her anymore! So she simply turned her head away and didn't want to talk to him at all.

"Come with me."

"What? Just because you tell me to go doesn't mean I have to go."

It's been a long time since we've seen President Bronya act like this. Fortunately, Xu Qi is a very tough man.

He grabbed her by the knees and carried Bronya in his arms!

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"My wife is having a disagreement with me, and I'm trying to get her to listen to me."

"Who said I'm your wife!" That's what she said, but apart from slightly twisting her body to express her dissatisfaction at the beginning, Bronya did not show any other intention to refuse.

When the others saw Xu Qi carrying the other person out late at night, they couldn't help but reveal some ambiguous glances.

Bronya was forcefully carried away by Xu Qi, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, unable to resist asking in a coquettish tone, "Where are you taking me?"

Xu Qi didn't answer. Instead, he went to the garage and threw the other person into the passenger seat.

He only said, "Let's go to my house," after the car had driven onto the highway.

"your home?"

Bronya, who had been drunk just moments before, immediately sat up straight after hearing what Xu Qi said!

Then, in a panic, she pulled out a makeup mirror from her purse and began to check if there was anything wrong with her.

"Stop looking, you're incredibly beautiful. Besides, it's not like my parents haven't seen you before."

"Oh, it's different! You!... You brat, why didn't you tell me sooner! I could have put on some makeup and dressed up, but now look what's happened! I..."

Seeing that Bronya seemed genuinely flustered, Xu Qi laughed and said, "Not pretending to be drunk now?"

Bronya glared at Xu Qi.

"You're still joking at a time like this! ...Xu Qi, how about another day...Isn't it a bit inconvenient to go so late today? I haven't even... Besides! You still haven't told me why I wanted to go to your house!"

"secret."

"Humph!"
