We moved to Golden Courtyard

He might have been worried about having too many girlfriends, including shrewish women like Durandal and Himeko! Well, calling them shrewish women is a bit of an exaggeration.

Juicer!

In short, it solved Xu Qi's immediate problem.

So he rewarded Fu Xian'er three times that night, filling her up completely each time.

Looking at the almost identical faces of the master and apprentice, Xu Qi's restless heart couldn't calm down, and he was confused by both of them...

When Xu Qi woke up in the morning and saw the two of them hugging each other while still fast asleep, he couldn't help but smile—as if he were looking at his own accomplishment.

Xu Qi tiptoed out of bed, not intending to wake the two of them. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Mei walking around in the living room with her big pregnant belly.

"Up so early?"

When Mei saw Xu Qi coming over, she rolled her eyes.

"Isn't it all your fault? You made my personal chef bedridden, and now I'm not getting breakfast."

Xu Qi grinned.

Watching Mei walk slowly, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Kevin and the others are gone."

Upon hearing Mei mention this, Xu Qi fell silent.

This was something he had expected. Since they had brought up the matter of leaving last night, they wouldn't drag it out until today; it was meant to be a farewell.

"From now on, this golden courtyard will truly be our wedding home."

Xu Qi smiled; at this point, this was the only way to put it.

He led Mei out into the courtyard. For Mei now, walking required a lot of energy, after all, there was a little life inside her.

"I just feel like I've lost a lot of friends."

Mei gave Xu Qi a reproachful look.

"There are so many women in the courtyard. I noticed you used to like chatting with Theresa a lot. What's wrong? Now that she's grown up, you start having inappropriate thoughts while chatting with her, so it's not so easy to talk to her anymore?"

Xu Qi awkwardly touched his nose.

"That's not how it works... Some topics are better discussed between men."

"Oh? Like endurance?"

Xu Qi gasped for breath and choked, immediately starting to cough.

Mei stood beside him, smiling broadly, clearly enjoying teasing Xu Qi.

Xu Qi remembered that he usually made dirty jokes, and then watched Mei react and admire her blushing cheeks.

Now it's completely reversed...

Married women are terrifying.

Suddenly blushing, Mei looked at Xu Qi as if she had thought of something.

"I'll have Kiana come to our room tonight."

Xu Qi looked puzzled. The "our room" Mei mentioned was Xu Qi's room. Why bring Kiana over...?

But then he saw a blush on Mei's cheek and immediately understood, and said with a smile.

"Little glutton, do you want it?"

"Mmm..."

Mei is no longer shy about these kinds of things.

"Then why did you call Kiana over?"

"Given our current situation, you can't satisfy me, right... not that night either."

Xu Qi, with his mouth slightly open, gently flicked Mei's nose with a mixture of doting and helplessness.

"You're overthinking things. I don't have any objections. Besides, everything's settled now, and I'll still be sleeping next to you every night to take care of you anyway."

"We can't exactly call a girl in every night, can we?"

Mei muttered, "It's not like it's impossible, you're just choosing someone anyway."

Xu Qi glared at Mei, but he was helpless against her.

He held the other person's arm, feeling only boundless peace and happiness in his heart.

This is a feeling I only get when I'm with Mei.

Since going to Europe, he has done many things, but in the end, it was all so that he could stay by Mei's side without any worries.

"Take me there and let me see."

"where?"

"Your master's grave."

Xu Qi pursed his lips and nodded silently.

······

It was a very simple cenotaph, after all, in the final battle, Char directly executed the self-destruct procedure, which also destroyed the high-output Honkai reactor.

The high-energy impact of the sudden burst meant that even the body could not be found during the post-battle cleanup. Moreover, due to Xia's special identity, Xu Qi could not properly bury him in the cemetery.

So Xu Qi found a plot of land in the backyard of the courtyard and built a cenotaph for Xia Ya.

Mei wanted to squat down and place the carnations in front of the grave, but Xu Qi quickly took the flowers from Mei's hands and smiled wryly.

"You shouldn't squat down, I'll do it."

Husband and wife are one, so Mei naturally wouldn't force anything; as long as the sentiment is there, that's enough.

Xu Qi placed the two carnations in his hand on the platform in front of the tomb, put his hands together, and prayed silently.

“I even considered having him as my witness at my wedding to you.”

Xu Qi stood up, his face expressionless, but Mei knew that he still felt a sadness in his heart.

"In a sense, he is also my benefactor."

Xu Qi turned to look at Mei.

"In the end, if he hadn't sacrificed himself, even if we had survived, Shanghai... would probably have been destroyed by Otto."

Even if you win then, you'll probably take all the blame upon yourself and live every day questioning yourself...

This is not good, it's really not good. Seeing you like this makes my heart ache just as much.

Xu Qi turned his head in a daze and looked at Mei.

They looked at each other, and he saw the heartache and pity in the girl's eyes.

Xu Qi reached out and hugged the other person, with countless words she wanted to say, but in the end, they all came down to one sentence.

"From now on, we just need to live our own lives well—I love you, Mei."

Leaning against Xu Qi's chest, Mei gently stroked her belly.

She greedily inhaled Xu Qi's scent, a sense of peace and tranquility, free from any disturbance.

Have you thought of a name for the child?

"When I'm at home with nothing to do, I start thinking. I came up with a few names, but none of them felt right."

"You have to say it out loud to know if it's good or not."

"Then you can't laugh at me."

"of course not."

"How about we call him Xu Yi?"

Xu Qi was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Mei was furious and reached out to pinch the other person's arm.

You promised you wouldn't laugh at me!

"Your intentions are too obvious. You're the eldest son after all, so it would be better to change your name."

"Then let's call her Siqi." Mei gazed at Xu Qi, her eyes filled with relief and joy that her longing had been answered.

"Siqi, Siqi, Xu Siqi".

1214. The Queen's Party is about to take over the world.

Returning to daily life doesn't mean Xu Qi has to be by Mei's side every moment to take care of her, and besides, Mei herself doesn't want that.

The next day, no... that very evening, Xu Qi was urged to go to work.

Back then, Xu Qi was still working on Yulandel.

Oh, just to clarify, Kiana was originally supposed to come to Xu Qi's room that night, but Bianca somehow found out about it.

She gave her dear younger sister a heartfelt pep talk.

"Qibao, Xu Qi's matter is too big for you to handle."

Then he persuaded the dazed Kiana to go back and took the field himself.

Mei was somewhat surprised, but she was quite familiar with Durandal, and Durandal had convinced Mei to accept the change of personnel with just one sentence.

"Madam, I haven't had the chance to thank you in person since I returned from Europe."

Mei's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons! She waved her hand and said, "What do you mean by 'madam'? I've said it before, we are all Xu Qi's wives."

There were no formalities like bowing or expressing gratitude.

"You are Xu Qi's first wife, so naturally you are the First Lady. It is perfectly acceptable for me to address you as 'Madam'," said Youlandail eloquently.

To be honest, you can't tell at all that she's a brute who only knows how to fight.

At least Xu Qi was stunned.

"As for my gratitude, it is not for any other reason than for my personal reasons. In the courtyard, I have always felt that you are an exceptional woman."

Now that I have the opportunity... to serve our mutual lover, I naturally must express my gratitude.

This statement is like a bite of chilled watermelon on a summer day—cool, refreshing, and invigorating!

Mei couldn't suppress the smile on her lips!

Xu Qi, who had been sitting next to Ai Li, complained, "She's definitely been possessed by Rita... Could Bianca really say something like that?"

Alicia leaned on Xu Qi's shoulder and said seriously, "I bet five cents that Rita taught her to say that."

Why don't you just gamble five times?

Alicia bit Xu Qi's face as revenge.

However, it must be said that Durandal's combat power is indeed formidable; even when she's just providing support, she can bring unexpected benefits...

For example, if Mei wants to straddle Xu Qi, Durandal can help support Mei from behind and give her support so that she can ride better.

After all, she's pregnant, so she can't act as recklessly as before.

Alicia was completely stunned.

As soon as Mei finished, she immediately shouted, "I want one too! I want one too!"

He even said something like, "Hmph! I have Bianca! Taking Xu Qi will be a piece of cake!"

It's steamed, way too steamed.

After the two of them give birth, Xu Qi is determined to give them an unforgettable night.

However, Durandal herself is also exceptionally strong in combat.

Airi and Mei, of course, can't satisfy Xu Qi now, and among the sisters in the courtyard, there's one who wants to face Xu Qi in his almost full-fledged state alone...

No more than five fingers' worth.

As it happens, Durandal was among them.

The two immediately staged a fierce battle in front of Mei and Airi.

Airi was fine, but Mei was completely mesmerized.
