We moved to Golden Courtyard

A book makes a long story; a bookless story makes a short story.

Today, Eleanor went to Xu Qi's room in the afternoon, and it's already evening, but he hasn't come out yet.

Many people who noticed this, especially Xu Qi's women, couldn't help but speculate whether the two were... After all, they knew about Xu Qi's absurdity, even if others didn't.

Is this Eleanor? She was only surrendered a few days ago and she's already been taken advantage of?

Especially when Seele told Patto about it, the cat immediately became unhappy.

"Me!...I haven't even succeeded yet!"

Pado sat on the bed with a frustrated expression, banging on the pillow in her hand as if the pillow had become Xu Qi, venting her frustration by hitting it repeatedly.

Being the youngest in the family is one thing, but now...?

Even though she became the eldest woman, she was still the youngest in her family!

Waaaaah! I, Padofilis! Am I destined to be a younger sister?

The anxious cat rolled and fussed on the bed. At that moment, she wished that the boss was really a bastard who only cared about taking her body and didn't care about her as a person.

Just then, Kafka passed by, saw the scene inside the house, and couldn't help but ask with amusement, "What's going on?"

The cat had already buried its head in the blanket, so Seele had no choice but to explain on its behalf.

Upon hearing this, Kafka couldn't help but chuckle, "What are you thinking? Although the boss is a bit eccentric, his relationship with Eleanor is still completely innocent."

Pado immediately poked her head out from under the covers.

It really does look like a cat.

"Really?"

"They were just talking about some things."

"What is it that we need to talk about all afternoon?"

Kafka sighed as she recalled the snippets of conversation she had overheard while hiding inside the house.

"It's nothing, it's just that... if the boss comes out of his room later, he might not be in a very good mood, so let him have some peace and quiet by himself."

……

Inside the room, Xu Qi sat in a chair, having remained silent for a long time.

He picked up the black tea in front of him and sipped it slowly.

Rita was worried about him, so she came in to check on him. Seeing that he and Eleanor were still talking, she took on the role of a secretary and made tea for Xu Qi.

She knew that Xu Qi had some little habits, such as how others would subconsciously light a cigarette when they were deep in thought to improve their concentration.

Xu Qi, on the other hand, would drink water in small sips.

Eleanor had finished speaking a while ago, but Xu Qi remained seated without saying a word.

Rita came in halfway through, but she roughly knew what kind of story Eleanor was telling, especially since this matter... also involved destiny and Xu Qi's acquaintances.

After Eleanor finished speaking, she sat quietly in the chair. Xu Qi didn't say anything, so she just sat there, as if she was repaying a debt, or perhaps finding relief.

After a long time, Xu Qi tried to get up, but found that her body was numb from sitting in one position for so long.

Rita had been keeping a close eye on Xu Qi the whole time, and as soon as she saw him make a move, she immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Rita..."

"I'm here."

“My mom told me that you are the most caring among them, and that since I married a wife like you, at least she won’t have to worry about things in life anymore.”

Rita smiled.

"Your aunt is the one who cares about you the most."

Xu Qi looked at Rita, and his expression finally softened, revealing a slight smile.

"You should call her Mom."

"Yes, sir."

"What mother in the world wouldn't love her children? And what father wouldn't be willing to give everything to protect his little family?"

Rita remained silent.

"We just want to live a peaceful life, but why... why do some people always want to destroy this beautiful thing?"

Eleanor, who had been quiet for a long time, said, "His Excellency the Bishop is also deeply in love."

"You son of a bitch!"

Xu Qi's face contorted with rage as he grabbed a teacup and smashed it over Eleanor's head!

Crimson bloodstains were left behind, but Eleanor didn't even flinch or flinch. Perhaps she also believed that she deserved to suffer the consequences of saying those words...

Xu Qi also knew that Eleanor was not refuting him, nor was she still loyal to Otto.

She was simply telling herself what Otto's loyal supporters, and Otto himself, thought.

"Go downstairs, treat your wound, and go see Karen tomorrow."

"As ordered."

Many grudges don't need to be talked about.

Rita gently patted Xu Qi's back, her eyes filled with reluctance and heartache.

"What should we do next?"

Chapter 1172, Page 1165: None of these are as important as you, Kiana.

If she could, Rita would have loved for Xu Qi to accompany them through life without any worries, without having to come into contact with these dirty, dark, and disgusting things.

Unfortunately it backfired.

Which of the women gathered around Xu Qi doesn't have a complicated and entangled background?

Xu Qi is such a sentimental person, it would be difficult for him not to get involved.

“Rita, you know Bianca best. Should we tell her about this?”

Rita snapped out of her daze and saw Xu Qi sitting slumped in a chair, looking somewhat dejected. She sighed inwardly, then reached out with trembling hands and gently rubbed his temples.

"The master has already made up his mind, hasn't he?"

“I never imagined Kiana’s background would involve so much… You told me that Bianca was an orphan and that Otto adopted her.”

Rita sighed softly and hugged Xu Qi from behind.

"Now that things have come to this, I don't want to mention that devil anymore."

"A demon? He truly is..."

Xu Qi held Rita's hands, feeling grateful to have her by his side.

"No lie can deceive a lifetime. I will tell her everything, and I will respect her choice afterward."

Rita hugged Xu Qi tightly, as if only the warmth of their bodies could comfort each other's hearts at this moment.

“My lord, I believe Lady Durandal is strong enough to accept all of this.”

"And Qiqi, let them... let them come to me later, I want to be alone for a while."

Rita suddenly tensed up.

"master!"

"Go ahead, I'm fine."

Rita gritted her teeth, turned around and kissed Xu Qi.

However, this time was the first time she did not receive a warm response from Xu Qi.

But Rita was not discouraged. She provocatively pried open his teeth and kissed him deeply.

They were entangled with each other, and although Xu Qi did not respond, he did not refuse either.

After a deep kiss, Rita gazed at Xu Qi with affection.

"I'm really worried about the master's condition..."

After hearing this, Xu Qi joked, "Does it mean I have to pin you down on this desk anytime and anywhere, and make you scream all the time, so that you won't worry?"

"Yes."

Rita stared at Xu Qi, her alluring gaze seemingly trying to seduce him into his heart.

"Okay, I'm really fine. I'll teach you a lesson after I finish talking to Bianca and the others."

"Is what you say true, sir?"

"You can touch it if you don't believe me."

That was naturally unnecessary. During the kiss, Rita was already sitting directly on Xu Qi's lap, so she could naturally feel the heat rising from him.

Rita got up.

She gently stroked Xu Qi's cheek with pity and sighed softly, "You must not be upset about this, otherwise not only Rita, but even Bianca and the others will feel it's not worth it."

"I see."

Watching Rita leave the room, Xu Qi suddenly spoke up: "You're here, aren't you, Kiana?"

no respond.

Xu Qi seemed certain of the other party's existence and waited quietly.

"How did you know? As a spiritual being, I hid it very well."

A flash of light appeared before my eyes, but this time it wasn't the simple, innocent white fluffy ball with two braids that appeared.

The girl had her hair tied in a ponytail, and her azure eyes held a hint of determination and a heartbreaking maturity.

Xu Qi finally remembered that Kiana wasn't actually the silly and foolish girl she seemed to be.

This is what she looked like when she first met the Moonlight System in V2V.

Just like the first time we met...

But as they grew closer, Kiana seemed to unknowingly transform into that carefree, innocent little girl.

"Because I feel like you're here."

Hearing Xu Qi's completely idealistic statement, Kiana didn't know what to say.

He could only laugh in exasperation.

"So it was all a trick on me."

"So... you actually knew all along? You knew that your spirit and body weren't separated, but that you were actually... already dead."

"..."

The atmosphere in the room became very silent.

Kiana remained silent, and Xu Qi simply gazed at her quietly.

The year you were born, your parents boarded a plane fleeing from Destiny to protect you and your sister, but no one expected...

Otto's men will take action directly on the plane. Ultimately, due to an accident, the plane crashes, and you and your parents die in the crash, while your sister becomes an orphan.

"You...you've known all along?"

When Xu Qi brought up this experience again, Kiana lowered her eyes and nodded gently.

"But I don't understand—in Eleanor's eyes, or in the eyes of anyone who knows Kiana, you are already dead, so why... are you in the Moonlight System?"

What is your relationship with Dr. Mei?

"Didn't you also see Luo Miao, who should have been dead?"

Xu Qi was taken aback—when you are on high alert, death will not come for you, Xu Qi.

“But that was just a fragment of Luo Miao’s spiritual power. He couldn’t have the same kind of spiritual power as you… like that of a living person.”

“You’re right, Xu Qi, but I’m a bit special, or rather, we’re all a bit special.”

With that, Kiana flew to Xu Qi's shoulder and sat down.
