We moved to Golden Courtyard

Both hands grasped the restless heart of the person, as if they had a handle.

Even if she's not as amazing as Sister Eden, she's still not to be underestimated.

Xu Qi even joked, "So Sister Ying already had a way to counter me, and you didn't stop her...it seems you wanted it yourself after all~~"

Sakura didn't reply, but simply turned her face away from Xu Qi.

Her face was already flushed with embarrassment, clearly indicating that she had figured out the situation.

Eden finally got up and hugged Xu Qi from behind, his two plump, cotton-candy-like breasts pressing against her without reservation, making Xu Qi's heart flutter.

"How could she bear to refuse? She took the initiative to come along when we went to Europe, part of the reason was probably because she couldn't bear to part with this feeling, right, Sakura?"

Sakura pursed her lips, clearly too embarrassed to answer.

Xu Qi still felt sorry for Ying and said, "Alright, sister, Ying helped a lot with the trip to Europe. Without Ying, I wouldn't have been able to go so smoothly."

Sakura smiled and gave Eden a provocative glance, but soon, Xu Qi made her lose her senses again, her mind filled with thoughts of urging him to go faster.

"Then, let's add Liu Qi and Miss Xin'an as well, let me count..."

Eden rested his head on Xu Qi's shoulder and closed his eyes to ponder for a while.

When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with amazement.

"My goodness, my brother, plus these two, that makes a total of 27 brides..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi involuntarily stopped.

No? How much?

"Let me count for you: me, Ellie, Sakura, Professor and Velvet, plus Aponia, Fu Hua and the cat, that makes eight people in the courtyard."

Then there's Bronya, Rita, Delta, Durandal, Seele, and Sirin, making six in total.

Theresa, Himeko, Kaffa, Kira, Sakura's sister Rin, Fu Hua's master Fu Xian'er, and my little secretary Anna, a total of 7 people.

And then there are the two girls you mentioned, Liu Qi and Xin An.

Finally, there are Mei, Kiana, Kiki, and Mei, a total of 4.

That makes a total of 27 brides!

After Eden finished counting for him, Xu Qi's movements slowed down a bit.

Of course, Sakura didn't pay attention to any of that, as she was also astonished by the terrifying number...

"Brother, now you're really the emperor."

"me……"

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated. What was all this about? But he had no way to explain himself.

Are you kidding me? 27 wives?!

Are there that many?

Even Xu Qi himself was a little unsure.

Eden was somewhat troubled, and his gaze towards Xu Qi even carried a rare hint of resentment.

"Little brother, we really can't add any more. Putting aside whether your body can handle it, just thinking about this amount makes me shudder..."

"No more, really no more."

Just listening to Eden count off like that, with each name he called out, Xu Qi felt his kidneys tremble a little more—he was going to die… he was really going to die!

When he first came back, Xu Qi actually looked forward to sleeping together in the same bed?

He was relieved that such a scene hadn't occurred, but...

marry……

Xu Qi dared not think about it anymore. He closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and focused all his attention on enjoying Sister Ying's body.

So Sakura, not having time to be surprised, left in no time...

Xu Qi, as if relaxed, poured all his rich life essence into the past.

Live for today, for tomorrow we may die. Thinking too much is pointless.

······

When the weekend arrived and Xu Qi saw Eden had ordered three extended Lincoln limousines to park outside the courtyard, he fell into deep thought.

Mei was standing right next to him, looking like she wanted to laugh but was trying not to.

As the girls gathered together, they realized that the number of their sisters seemed rather alarming...

Mei feigned remorse and said, "It's my fault. I didn't keep a close eye on you and spoiled you too much."

But as I talked about it, something felt off—it was supposed to be something I could keep all to myself, right?

Forget it, it's too late to think about these things now. Besides, Xu Qi just finished paying his dues last night, and the feeling is still lingering this morning.

But when he thinks about the 27 girls he has to take care of...

Hmm... Dr. Möbius, you have a long way to go...

Xu Qi squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and then laughed self-deprecatingly, "What should I do? I can't let go of these girls."

Mei patted Xu Qi's head.

Since having children, she has become more and more charming in every move she makes.

This time, everyone in the courtyard went to have their clothes measured, including little Greta—cough! Don't misunderstand, please don't misunderstand.

Aponia was just worried about leaving little Gretchen alone at home, and the little girl loved to play, so she definitely wanted to be with her older sisters, which is why she brought her along.

The two babies were left in the care of Xu Qi's parents.

The two elderly people were overjoyed to see their grandson and granddaughter!

Fortunately, the place we were going to was, of course, a completely private tailor shop belonging to the Gold Group.

Otherwise, if a whole busload of girls all wanted to order wedding dresses, it would really scare people half to death.

Putting aside everything else, when picking up Liu Qi and Xin An halfway, even though the two of them were prepared beforehand, they knew that Xu Qi had many... many women!

But when we arrived at our destination, we saw three whole busloads of girls getting off, and they were all exceptionally talented!

They were all stunned and speechless for a long time.

This can only be described as... a spectacle.

1237. Gretchen is no longer a little girl.

Gathering all the top tailors in Shanghai in a single day—perhaps only Eden could accomplish such a feat.

After all, we need to measure the data of 27 girls, so the more people we have, the better.

Moreover, the prepared area is large enough.

It's called a tailor shop, but it's actually a Western European castle.

Upon entering, a waiter greets you. On each floor and in each room, there are different styles of clothing on display, clearly designed by the masters of this place.

But according to Eden, these displays are nothing special.

Hmm... Xu Qi looked at the suit priced at 3 yuan—it really wasn't anything special.

According to Eden, truly excellent works cannot be made; each piece is tailor-made for the individual, making it one of a kind in the world.

You will absolutely not see another one like it anywhere else.

As for the price...

Talking about price at this time would seem vulgar.

Xu Qi nodded knowingly—it's these capitalists who know how to do business.

Of course, even these finished products that Eden calls low-end are already beautiful enough.

As for girls' resistance to pretty clothes, they probably don't have much. They've only just arrived, and almost everyone is much more excited than usual.

Even the quiet and reserved Aponia and others could see the smiles in their eyes.

Xu Qi was originally going to come and have his measurements taken, but after hearing that all the tailors at Eden were women, Mei and the others simply took his measurements at the villa first.

"What? You really want other girls to touch you all over?"

Xu Qi quickly shook his head.

Watching more than twenty young women enter the tailor shop bearing the logo of the Gold Group, Xu Qi found a place to sit down alone, preparing to wait quietly.

"Brother Xu Qi!"

The crisp shout made Xu Qi turn his head to look.

Little Gretchen picked up a ready-made princess dress, ran to her side, and her face was full of innocent and childlike smiles. It was truly heartwarming…

"Brother Xu Qi! Do you think this outfit looks good?"

"She looks great, Greta looks good in anything."

Greta gave Xu Qi a disapproving look.

"Xu Qi's compliments are so perfunctory."

Xu Qi was first taken aback, then burst into laughter. He picked up little Gretchen and put her on his lap, saying softly, "If Gretchen really wants one, I'll have someone take your measurements and have one custom-made."

What do you say, Greta?

"Hmm..." Gretchen sat in Xu Qi's lap, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it the same clothes as Mei-neechan and the others?"

"Ah...no."

Greta lowered her head in disappointment.

Xu Qi scratched his head and quickly explained, "The clothes that Sister Mei and the others are making are wedding dresses for their weddings, which can only be worn by girls on the most important moment in their lives."

Greta looked at Xu Qi with displeasure.

“Gresh knows that Gresh is no longer a child.”

Now that you mention it... that makes sense.

After all, he's a junior high student, and he'll be going to high school soon.

but……

Xu Qi suddenly realized that he seemed to be still holding Gretchen in his arms and placing her on his lap, just like before, which was acceptable in the past.

But now... the girl has grown up quite a bit.

As Greta herself said, she was no longer a child.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Gretchen. It's my fault for treating Gretchen like a child."

Gretchen's initially somewhat displeased expression was immediately replaced by a smile.

She proudly puffed out her chest, as if to say—Xu Qi finally acknowledges that I'm not a little girl anymore!

"Then why does Gretsch still want to wear clothes like Mei and the others? Isn't it too early for Gretsch?"

After saying this, Xu Qi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Gretchen suddenly bringing this up... could it be that she's having a crush at school...?

This won't do...

If any scoundrel dares to lay a hand on Gretchen, Xu Qi can't guarantee he won't beat them to death.

If you want to date, you should at least be in college, right?

No, university isn't good either...

Xu Qi has begun to feel the sadness and worry of an elderly father.

Greta glanced at Xu Qi discreetly and saw that he seemed lost in thought, pursing his lips as if he didn't want to tell him the reason.

Greta didn't know why either.

This was perhaps the first time in the little girl's life that she experienced what it meant to be shy.

If I were to paint myself in this picture right now, what color would I be?

"Gresh... wants to be Xu Qi's bride..."
