We moved to Golden Courtyard

Chapter 1140, Section 1133: When Durandal Loses Her Reserved

Xu Qi knew a long time ago that Yulandel liked cats.

At that time in the courtyard, Durandal was so captivated by the canned food that she couldn't walk away, to the point that Paddo would often come to ask her for help when she couldn't find the canned food.

Only Xu Qi knew that she had most likely been lured away by Youlandail with cat food and was currently in her room petting the cat to her heart's content.

Although she didn't know why, she seemed to feel...

This is something that shouldn't be known to others.

So Durandal lifted her foot to walk in, but then stopped in her tracks and said with great difficulty, "Xu Qi, why...why did you bring me here?"

"Hmm? You don't like it?"

Durandal fell silent.

"Liking cats isn't a bad thing, is it? I like cats too."

"Is...that's how it is..."

Yulandel seemed a little hesitant, but Xu Qi didn't care and pulled her into the shop. To be honest, every time I go into a cat cafe, I have the illusion of visiting a brothel.

When these cat owners see customers arrive, they immediately greet them warmly and begin introducing the store's most outstanding female cats—no, I mean, the cats.

So much so that no matter what they say, Xu Qi will automatically fill in the blanks in his mind.

"Oh dear, our customer is here!"

That's so decadent...

Pulled along by Xu Qi, Yulandel could barely contain herself as soon as she entered the store. A British Shorthair cat, wagging its head, walked up to her, seemingly very curious about this human woman.

The gray fur and the chubby body made Durandal feel instantly suffocated!

She couldn't resist any longer and eagerly hugged the cat to her chest and started petting it!

The sudden action even startled the shop assistants.

Xu Qi gave a wry smile and quickly explained, "My girlfriend really likes cats, please forgive me."

Yulandel naturally heard Xu Qi's words. Her ears turned red, but she didn't think of refuting them. Having a girlfriend... isn't that good too?

After paying the fee, Xu Qi walked to Durandal's side and couldn't help but smile as he watched the blonde knight princess display a style completely different from her usual heroic demeanor.

So girly...

"Meow……"

Do you think you can communicate with cats?

Among the people Xu Qi knows, perhaps only Pado has this ability...

"Yoo...Bianca, there are some things I want to..."

"Xu Qi, please don't speak yet, okay?"

Xu Qi glanced at Yulandel, who was still petting the cat, smiled knowingly, squatted down next to her, and picked up one as well, much to Yulandel's surprise.

"I thought you didn't like it..."

"How could that be? Canned food and I are very close."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little tabby cat in his arms stretched out its paw and tried to scratch Xu Qi.

Yulandel chuckled, and seeing Xu Qi's embarrassed expression, she took the initiative to move closer and said, "You can't hold a cat like that. Come on, let me teach you."

It seems that Durandal has quite a bit of experience when it comes to holding cats.

Was he trained on canned food?

I also hug canned food all the time...

Just as Durandal was about to put the cat down, the short-haired British Shorthair, despite its plumpness, was surprisingly agile and leaped onto Durandal's chest.

This sudden turn of events was undoubtedly unexpected for both of them.

The heavy fruit was stepped on by the cat's paw, causing a slight indentation.

The other party leaped again!

"ah!"

Amidst gasps of surprise, the British Shorthair leaped straight onto Durandal's head.

Action and reaction forces, even with the clothes binding her, the soft jade-like body couldn't withstand such torment and swayed twice.

Xu Qi's breath hitched, and he quickly got up to help Youlander remove the British Shorthair cat from her head.

"This is too much of a commotion..."

Yulandel straightened her clothes, a bitter smile on her face.

She glanced at Xu Qi, noticing his averted gaze. She looked down at her slightly disheveled clothes and seemed to realize what was happening. Her cheeks flushed, and she whispered.

"Little lewd wolf..."

Standing up, Youlandail took the British Shorthair from Xu Qi's arms and said in a reproachful tone, "Don't be so naughty anymore, okay? Next time you want something, you can just tell me."

The cat couldn't understand, nor could it speak. It returned to Durandal's arms, closed its eyes, and began to sleep.

I wonder who this new cat lover is talking about.

Xu Qi understood. He scratched his head and said seriously, "It's good. I want to see more."

Yulandel blushed upon hearing this.

"Shameless!"

"Isn't this how we usually chat?"

Yulandel's expression faltered for a moment, her eyes filled with a captivating charm as she glared at Xu Qi.

"Online is online, but you can't make such dirty jokes with me in real life."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After petting the cats for a long time at the cat shop, Durandal finally emerged, completely satisfied. The two held hands again, but this time, she didn't feel as shy.

It's just... a very ordinary thing...

We sat down on a park bench, very close to each other.

Taking a whiff of the female knight's fragrance beside him, Xu Qi hesitated for a moment before reaching out and putting his arm around Yulandel's shoulder.

Knight Princess blushed slightly, but still acquiesced to Xu Qi's intimate gesture, and then... very carefully, very carefully, leaned on Xu Qi's shoulder.

"Xu Qi, there are some things I want to tell you first."

Xu Qi knew that he was definitely going to talk about what happened yesterday.

He let out a soft breath, waiting for Durandal's complaints or criticisms.

After all, he has already realized his mistake.

"I will cooperate with you and complete your plan. Also, yesterday... I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. I'm sorry."

After speaking, Durandal waited quietly for a moment, but when she still didn't receive a reply from Xu Qi, she sat up and looked at Xu Qi with some dissatisfaction and doubt.

But the other person looked completely bewildered, as if they hadn't expected him to say that.

What kind of expression is that?

"Um...no, I just...because I actually came to apologize to you today."

"Ugh?"

“I’m sorry, Bianca, I overlooked your feelings for me… but what I must explain to you is that I absolutely did not think that you loved me as much as Dr. Mei and the others, which is why I asked you to cooperate with my operation.”

I just felt that you were a partner I could absolutely trust, and that you could definitely help me complete this task, so that's why I thought of asking you for help!

But I didn't expect it to make you so angry, it was my oversight... I'm sorry, Bianca.

After Xu Qi finished speaking, he found that Yulandel was also staring at him in a daze.

The two stared at each other, neither of them expecting that the other had taken the initiative to apologize.

However, compared to Xu Qi, Yulandel may have been more severely impacted.

She suddenly reached out and hugged Xu Qi tightly.

She didn't care about the stares of other tourists in the park, and just held him tightly.

At this moment, her feelings of affection completely overcame the girl's reserve.

Chapter 1141, 1134: Failure, persevere, until success!

Bianca?

"If you say something so unfair, then I have no choice but to forgive you..."

After the initial surprise subsided, a smile returned to Xu Qi's face. He hugged Yulandel and joked, "I forgive you too."

Yulandel, who was on the verge of tears, suddenly smiled through her tears, but Xu Qi's interruption somewhat dampened her emotions.

"No wonder Rita always says that getting too close to you will not end well... She's right, you're just a jerk who's always trying to please different girls."

"Ugh?"

Such public opinion is just too terrible...

Releasing Xu Qi, Youlandail couldn't help but recall what Xu Qi had said to her yesterday.

"Eleanor will probably find out about my relationship with the resistance soon. But to me, this might also be an opportunity..."

Eleanor is a woman who does everything flawlessly; it's very difficult to find a weakness in her. I must deliberately seduce her into doing something.

"what are you up to?"

"If Xia's identity is exposed, it will also reveal my relationship with Xia, but she doesn't have direct evidence, so at most she can only detain me temporarily."

But this is the way of destiny, and some people don't care about rules.

"What do you mean? Your target isn't Eleanor?"

"Eleanor Shaniat...no matter how capable she is, her birth determines her position within the Shaniat family."

While I admire her, she won't have much influence on the big picture. My trip to Europe wasn't just about negotiating with destiny…

There's one more person I could never let live such an easy life in this world.

"I have no reason to be dissatisfied that you are willing to trust me and turn your back on me. But thinking about it later, Dr. Mei certainly couldn't have agreed to your actions."

Although you're still a little angry, doesn't this mean that you subconsciously believe Dr. Mei will be more concerned about your personal safety?

"This is infuriating! Don't I care about your safety? But Rita did remind me."

"Rita?"

Xu Qi never expected that the little maid would give him an assist.

"Yes, she told me that this might mean you have something you can only trust me to do, and that you want me to do it. What you just told me also confirms this."

I'm really envious... Rita understands you so well. I'm a bit slow-witted, so I'll probably never be able to be as in sync with you as Rita is.

But there's one thing I think only I can do well—that is to protect you, like a knight, to protect you from harm.

Durandal's tone was more solemn than ever before.

It is both moving and reassuring.

Xu Qi thought to himself: This girl is really cool.

"Thank you, but if I could, I would prefer to protect you."

Durandal smiled.

"Then you have to be stronger than me, Xu Qi."

Although it was the truth, it still somewhat damaged Xu Qi's confidence. Liking such an amazing girl must be incredibly stressful...

“However, Rita talked to me a lot last night, and one thing I think is very true: no matter what I do, I should always maintain Durandal’s style.”

Durandal's style?

Xu Qi briefly imagined it—capable, straightforward, and fearless.

Before Xu Qi could finish imagining it, Durandal had already closed the distance between them again.
