We moved to Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi quickly replied, "I won't accept a godson! ... Nor will I accept a godson!"

Upon seeing this, Eleanor, the beautiful woman with long blonde hair, surprisingly revealed a charming smile, seemingly both teasing and worried, as she spoke.

"If it's a father-daughter relationship, I shouldn't have anything to worry about..."

They only said half of what they meant, but Kiki and Theresa immediately realized what they meant!

Both of them glared at Xu Qi.

"Xu Qi! Do you have some inappropriate thoughts about her?!"

"So you can do such perverted role-playing games!?"

Xu Qi felt that he was now in a situation where he couldn't clear his name no matter what. This woman from the Military Intelligence Bureau was truly cunning, and if he wasn't careful, she would have tricked him.

Seeing Xu Qi's helpless expression, Eleanor's smile brightened considerably.

Perhaps another reason that might lead her to agree to surrender is...

If Xu Qi were to become her leader, she wouldn't need to be so cunning. She's been scheming and manipulating those shady characters for so long; she knows how exhausting that would be.

"If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!"

Xu Qi waved his hand and made a "get lost" gesture, which made Eleanor laugh heartily.

This was perhaps the happiest she had been since being captured.

……

Kiki herself was willing to accept Eleanor's surrender.

Although this person had caused the deaths of many rebels, it was ultimately due to their differing stances, and Eleanor herself was extremely capable.

If this were Xia Ya, he wouldn't even have the slightest hesitation.

Those who died before were all sacrificed in rebellion against fate. What they wanted to do was not revenge, but to accomplish a great cause! To overthrow fate!

"So now you're preparing to recruit someone else?"

Kiki was referring to Karen, who was still under house arrest there.

Xu Qi turned to look at Eleanor.

"If you are truly surrendering, then prove it to me."

"Is this a pledge of allegiance? Aren't you afraid I'll instigate Karen to feign surrender, actually intending to incite internal strife?"

Kiki was shocked! She seemed to only just realize that Eleanor could use such methods! Damn it, these people all seem so clever…

"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."

As Xu Qi untied the shackles from Eleanor's feet, he said, "Once you leave this interrogation room, you will no longer be Eleanor Shaniat of Destiny."

He was merely a member of the resistance.

Eleanor gave Xu Qi a deep look.

"Go see that girl again tomorrow, and I'll bring you good news."

Watching the other person leave, Qiqi suddenly looked at Xu Qi and said, "I feel that you are more suitable to be the leader of this resistance, not me."

Xu Qi asked in surprise, "Why would you think that?"

"I feel like I'm stupid..."

Theresa couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Xu Qi also laughed heartily, ruffling Qi Qi's head.

Why wouldn't you say she's Kiana? She looks like that white fluffy ball, and her brain is too.

"I'm going to meet someone, you don't need to follow me."

Kiki asked suspiciously, "Who are you seeing?"

Theresa reacted quickly, pursed her lips, and took Kiki's hand, saying, "Let's ignore him and let him worry about it. Let's go."

Xu Qi is quite pleased to see Qi Qi integrating into his life more and more quickly.

After all, Little Wild Horse's temper can be quite fiery at times, and his biggest worry is that Kiki won't be able to get along well with the people around her.

But now it seems...

Xu Qi is simply worrying unnecessarily.

Compared to Qiqi, I do have more worries.

Returning to Vanaheim from the rebel base, the city, which had just experienced a fierce street battle, was mostly destroyed and awaited post-war reconstruction.

Currently, only a small part of Vanaheim remains, with the Chosen Army still putting up a stubborn resistance, while most of the area has been taken over by the rebels.

The hotel, which was previously used by Destiny to entertain nobles, has now become the provisional government of the resistance and the battlefield command center.

Meanwhile, in Xu Qi's former residence, Rita was with Xin An, removing the bandages that had been applied or bound to her.

Durandal was also there, but Rita thought she was too clumsy and didn't let her help.

"Look at you! Couldn't you have been gentler? Such a beautiful girl, and now she has so many scratches for no reason. Are you going to take responsibility if she doesn't look good?"

Durandal was about to say that it wasn't impossible when Rita glared at her and stopped her.

Xin'an found it interesting. Rita was the general affairs officer of Seed Studio and also Xu Qi's secretary, so she was naturally familiar with her. As for Yulandel, who had just been reprimanded, she had roughly figured out the other's personality after spending the last few days with her.

Upright and incorruptible, meticulous in every detail.

At the same time, she also learned that both of them... liked, even loved, Xu Qi.

Chapter 1163, 1156: Seeing Rita, I couldn't help myself.

Many times, Xin'an couldn't help but sigh that the women surrounding Xu Qi were truly like goddesses, each one more beautiful than the last.

She used to be somewhat confident, but now...

Whether it's Rita, who's taking care of her now, or Durandal, who saved her life, both of them pale in comparison in terms of appearance.

Not to mention their stunning figures.

"The resistance has been busy these past few days, so Xu Qi hasn't had much free time. It's not that I'm intentionally delaying coming to see you, so please don't take offense."

"Not at all... If it weren't for him, I might be dead already."

"Don't say that, Miss Xin'an," Youlandel said seriously from the side. "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been targeted by those people from Fate."

Besides, I'm the one who saved you.

Xin'an covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

She could tell that Durandal loved to make witty remarks while maintaining a serious demeanor.

Rita pouted – this gesture was completely copied from Xu Qi.

They really do learn bad things instead of good ones.

"But you and Xu Qi..."

Upon hearing Xin'an bring it up, Rita and Durandal exchanged a glance.

"Is it hard to accept?"

Xin'an gave a wry smile.

“I’ve never been around you like this before, so I’m really shocked. You don’t seem like… women who could accept this kind of thing.”

"Perhaps I was influenced without realizing it... I love him very much, and love is always selfish; of course, I want to possess him all to myself."

But you should also know Mei; no one holds a place in Xu Qi's heart that surpasses Mei's. Since he can't change it, and can't let go, he can only make do.

"improvise?"

Rita laughed out loud.

"Who didn't settle at first? I even thought that since he and Mei weren't married, I could just slowly win him over once I got together with Xu Qi."

Xin'an's eyes widened—so this seemingly delicate Rita could also have such thoughts of stealing someone else's love?

"But once they were actually together, he realized that Mei's position in Xu Qi's heart was absolutely unshakeable."

"Then why..."

Rita got up and walked to the window. She had just said it was just making do, but judging from her expression now, she was clearly lost in sweet memories.

"Because I can't live without him anymore... I've fallen into Xu Qi's clutches and gradually managed to get along with all the women around him. Is it even possible to leave now?"

Moreover, I no longer want to think about these things; I just want to be with him. I even feel that the meaning of my life might just be to have met him.

Xin'an never expected to receive such an answer from Rita.

She was in shock and it took her a long time to recover.

Then he looked at Durandal.

Do you think so too?

"Rita loves Xu Qi more, I'm not as good as her..."

However, Durandal didn't say something—after all, she hasn't had any real relationship with Xu Qi yet. When the two of them are completely together in the future, she might end up like Rita is now.

"And you, Miss Xin'an... You're willing to sacrifice so much for Xu Qi, don't you have even the slightest bit of other feelings for him?"

As Rita spoke, her gaze suddenly sharpened.

When Rita questioned him, Xin'an didn't dare to look her in the eye.

It feels like being caught red-handed by the wife...

"me……"

Seeing the other person hesitate, Rita quickly transformed back into the gentle and charming little maid, approaching Xin'an and taking his hand.

"Don't worry too much, just say it if you like it."

Durandal witnessed all of this and couldn't help but marvel at Rita's powerful aura.

With just a few words, Xin'an lost his composure.

This isn't some little maid; she's practically the mistress...

"I……"

But just then, the sound of a door opening came from outside. Rita's expression shifted slightly, and a hint of regret flashed in her eyes. All her efforts had been in vain.

Yulandel sensed it immediately; it was Xu Qi who had arrived.

Upon seeing Xu Qi appear, Xin An, who had been somewhat flustered, calmed down a bit, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Rita then stood up and helped Xu Qi take off his coat.

"Why are you only arriving today?"

"You know I was busy with a lot of things recently and couldn't get away."

"You left Miss Xin here to cause us trouble, while you went out to have fun."

A few natural little complaints won't make people unhappy; on the contrary, outsiders will only think that the young couple is living a very sweet life.

Xu Qi sensed the jealousy in Rita's words, and the first thing he did upon entering the room was to give his wife a big hug.

Holding Rita's slender body in his arms, Xu Qi kissed her forehead as compensation.

"Is that all there is to it, just one kiss?"

Xu Qi leaned close to Rita's ear.

I'll make it up to you tonight.

In fact, there's no need to wait until night. If Yulandel and Xin'an weren't there, and only Rita was present, Xu Qi definitely wouldn't be able to resist starting to eat right away.

This alluring little maid made no attempt to hide the seductive look in her eyes, making Xu Qi's heart itch with desire.

He longed to immediately pin her down and make love to her.

Bianca.

“Xu Qi…” Durandal knew she couldn’t compare to Rita, but she didn’t expect that Xu Qi would come over and give her a hug as well.

She knew this was to put her mind at ease.

But... that's enough.
