We moved to Golden Courtyard

The memories in my mind resurfaced.

Greta recalled that one night before Xu Qi left for Europe, she had secretly seen him—she saw Xu Qi and Aponia in bed…

This time, it's in the changing room.

Because it was daytime and the lighting was ample, Gretchen could see every detail clearly, and even... there was a mirror in front of them.

In that mirror, little Greta saw...

She saw the expression on Aponia's mother's face, a happiness and joy she had never seen before.

Actually, that night, Gretchen had already thought that although Aponia's mother's voice was somewhat... she could still hear the excitement in it that was different from usual.

So something like that must be very comfortable.

Perhaps Gretchen didn't understand before, but now she has some idea of ​​what the two people in front of her are doing.

but……

Aponia's mother looks so beautiful right now...

Through the reflection in the mirror, Gretchen saw the pair of jade rabbits swaying wildly.

She subconsciously glanced down at herself—this is too exaggerated...can I be like this in the future?

Greta glanced at him a few more times.

Children of this age are naturally curious about such things, but she also knows that peeping is mostly wrong.

But I still couldn't suppress the thoughts in my heart.

If I end up with Xu Qi in the future, then will I also have to...?

Just thinking about this made Gretchen's eyes fill with a hint of infatuation.

Suddenly, she noticed that Xu Qi's brother's frequency was increasing, and Aponia's mother's voice was becoming more urgent and shrill.

When that final moment arrived, little Greta witnessed the entire process.

At the same time, she knew she couldn't watch any longer.

Gretchen quietly closed the curtains and slipped away.

The little girl's eyes flickered; she seemed to have already formed a plan in her mind. At least for now, she definitely couldn't let Xu Qi find out what she was thinking.

As long as she stays in the Golden Courtyard for one more day, there will always be opportunities to develop more content in the future.

······

After putting her clothes back on, which were scattered all over the floor, Aponia sighed – she said she didn't want Xu Qi to do anything reckless, but she immediately gave in after he touched her even slightly.

Is it true, as Eden said, that they all spoil Xu Qi too much?

"What if other girls see you like this?"

Xu Qi sat on the sofa where he was resting, a place that also bore the marks of his battle with Aponia.

He waved his hand casually and said, "Then let's go together."

There was absolutely no panic.

"What if it's Gretchen?"

Xu Qi's expression changed. He sat up, glanced outside in a panic, and chuckled dryly, "There shouldn't be... such a coincidence..."

Aponia walked over and sat properly next to Xu Qi.

"Just be more careful next time."

Of course, this was just a casual remark, since Gretchen was still taking measurements over there, so she probably wouldn't be out running around so soon.

However, Aponia's words did remind Xu Qi.

Since only family members will be here today, Gretchen can wander around freely, so why can't he?

Xu Qi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "Sister Nia, you haven't finished taking your measurements yet, have you? Let me take you to the tailor to get your measurements taken first. We can't delay our business."

The astute Aponia noticed that Xu Qi seemed to have some ulterior motives, and said with a mix of helplessness and indulgence, "You... you're thinking of some naughty ideas again."

Is it bad?

It's definitely going to be fun.

They took Aponia back to her original fitting room, where they found Gretchen resting inside. The girl's face was flushed, and they wondered what she was thinking.

Xu Qi didn't pay any attention, called out once, and ran off.

This feels a bit like opening a blind box.

Of course, by this time the girls had already taken their measurements. Not seeing Xu Qi, they picked out some clothes they liked and went back to the fitting room to try them on.

With Eden around, money is just a number.

Xu Qi rubbed his hands together and casually lifted the curtain of a fitting room, but unfortunately, no one was inside.

However, the clothes they changed out of are still here; they seem to belong to Mei and Airi...

Pity.

Xu Qi wasn't discouraged; he was already feeling excited and really looking forward to seeing the girls' expressions when they suddenly saw him walk in while they were changing.

For example, when you open the next blind box, the moment the curtain is lifted, you see Rita and Durandal trying on a casual short-sleeved shirt.

Both of them had somewhat exaggerated body proportions, and their short-sleeved shirts created a noticeable curve at the chest.

It's a bit of a shame, though, because they had already changed their clothes.

The moment the curtain was lifted, the two noticed Xu Qi. Yulandel asked in confusion, "Xu Qi? What's wrong? Do you need us?"

You're being too serious, Miss Bianca.

Rita immediately understood what Xu Qi wanted to do, her expression both playful and seductive.

"You can check out the fitting room across the street; you might find a pleasant surprise."

It has to be Rita who understands him.

Xu Qi immediately ran over, and as soon as he lifted the lid, he saw Shi Yu Qi Luo with her clothes half off. The girl stared blankly at Xu Qi outside, her youthful body radiating boundless beauty, blooming before Xu Qi's eyes.

"Aaaaah!!! Get out of here!!!"

Screams erupted, and the girls who had been drawn over saw several pieces of clothing thrown at Xu Qi, driving her out of the fitting room.

Of course, Xu Qi eventually went in, presumably to comfort the frightened girl.

For some reason, after a short while, the sounds from the fitting room changed from whispers to suppressed moans...

Half an hour later, Xu Qi emerged from the room, looking refreshed, and continued his game.

Of course, there will be times when you're unlucky.

For example, when Xier and Xilin pulled the curtain closed, they fastened the latch, so Xu Qi couldn't open it right away. Xier, who was changing clothes inside, asked him timidly.

"Who...who's outside?"

Xu Qi was helpless; he couldn't just force his way in, could he? So when the curtain was pulled back, all he could see were Xi'er and Xilin, who were dressed in full but looking shy.

Then they followed the same pattern and opened several more blind box stores.

It's unclear who spread the word, but it seems that girls already know about Xu Qi opening blind boxes, and the shyer girls naturally don't dare to try on clothes anymore.

But... the fierce older sister wouldn't care about this.

Especially when the blind box contained the Himeko and Kafka pairing, both of them were halfway through changing clothes, Xu Qi's eyes practically popped out of his head!

Seemingly waiting for Xu Qi to come over, Ji Zi, whose clothes were half-undone, simply stopped dressing and beckoned with her finger, saying, "Aren't you coming over?"

He was truly bewitched by the enchantress and couldn't resist the temptation to go inside.

1240. This is the price one must pay to marry them.

Perhaps Eden herself never imagined that the place and manpower she kindly prepared for Xu Qi to take clothes would be used for this purpose.

That brat is getting better and better at enjoying life.

After taking everyone's measurements, they each picked out a lot of clothes. Of course, some girls didn't have time to choose clothes and were forced to by Xu Qi's imposing presence.

For example, people like Himeko...

But there was an element of voluntariness involved.

After a period of playful antics, on the way back, Xu Qi naturally received a lot of lectures from Mei Yi—"You've been so outrageous! Look at the state you've become!"

Then that night, Mei dragged me into her room and gave me a little punishment.

It seems that she wasn't angry that Xu Qi went too far, but rather annoyed that he didn't bring her along.

With the wedding date drawing ever closer, Xu Qi and the others naturally lost all interest in going to work, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the wedding.

Especially after the tailors finished designing the wedding dresses and sent over the design drafts one after another, these girls couldn't contain their excitement anymore.

Xu Qi has been quite busy lately.

The list of wedding guests has been finalized, and as the husband of all these girls, he will definitely visit each of their closest relatives one by one.

Although Delta and Bronya came from an orphanage, it doesn't mean that there wasn't a figure like an elder in their lives.

Take Mr. Walter, for example.

This was also the first person Xu Qi visited, and the exchange was very brief. Walter only asked one question: After getting married, do you plan to go out and work independently with Bronya?

Walter was very satisfied with Xu Qi's answer.

"I will gain experience and skills at ET in order to take over Mr. Walter's position as soon as possible."

There's not much to say; this is the answer Walter wanted most.

Walter couldn't stay in the chairman's position for even a day longer. He just wanted to do what he wanted to do while he was still healthy.

Next was Celine's mother.

The exchange went very smoothly, since the two were already quite familiar with each other. They had become acquainted through a misunderstanding over Xilin's matter.

However, when he heard that there were as many as twenty brides at the wedding, the proud and strong-willed chairman of MH couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

What a bastard.

Of course, there are smooth sailing moments and also unsuccessful ones.

It is foreseeable that Xu Qi's wedding will inevitably go against the prevailing values ​​of people today.

The parents of Xin'an, Liu Qi, and Ji Zi, as if they had planned it all along, were overjoyed when they heard that their daughters could finally get married.

Upon hearing about Xu Qi's situation, the hot-tempered man began physically trying to drive him away.

Even if you manage to refrain from violence, you'll likely still receive a very unfriendly attitude.

Xu Qi had naturally anticipated this situation.

All he could do was show his sincerity and let the parents of the families feel that he would cherish their daughter for the rest of his life and never let her suffer any injustice.

Putting yourself in Xu Qi's shoes, you know he's a father now too.

He also has a daughter.

If Xu Siqi grows up and chooses a boyfriend who is simultaneously involved with several... twenty or so women, he would definitely take action against him! Wouldn't that be despicable?

However, there was no other way. Having chosen this path, Xu Qi was determined to continue it no matter what. In this kind of situation, the only way to persuade him was through emotional appeal.

Xu Qi has always believed that as long as there is true love, all the difficulties in this world are just fireworks that further temper their love.

Like Himeko, she finally knelt before her father, speaking with a mixture of determination and pleading.

“My daughter is already this age. She's not some naive little girl who would be easily fooled. Do you think I don't know what kind of person Xu Qi is?”

This concerns my daughter's lifelong happiness, so of course I've thought it through! Do you all think I'm the kind of person who would just marry any man I want?

Father, please believe me, and please believe in Xu Qi. I don't regret my decision today, and I certainly don't regret being with Xu Qi! I'm absolutely certain that the happiness your daughter has been searching for has finally been found!

Disagreement stems from love; and agreement also stems from love.

Over the course of three months, it was clear that Xu Qi was becoming increasingly haggard.

However, he was in good spirits, just a little tired.

The other girls felt sorry for her, but they didn't know what better way to help.

As Xu Qi said, this is the bitter fruit he himself has sown, and he has to bear it no matter what. He doesn't want the girl who is by his side to ultimately not receive the blessings of her family.
