Moved to Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi understood and said, "Oh, Theresa had been in Guangcheng before, and she was only recently transferred to Shanghai. Before...

I have always considered that she needs to adapt to the job and this city, so... for now, we have only confirmed our relationship."

In fact, even the relationship still feels a little hazy.

But the moment Theresa was willing to transfer from Guangzhou City to Shanghai, Xu Qi knew that he would never let go of this girl.

Lin Lai nodded with amusement.

After all, this is indeed... a bit dazed to watch.

Sometimes even Theresa herself would think that the height difference was a bit too much.

"Then you better hold on tight. I think Theresa is very cute. If you don't hold on tight, she might run back to Guangcheng."

This time, Theresa answered first: "No! ... No! Auntie! I will always be here..."

where?

Of course, it was by Xu Qi's side...

Holding Theresa's petite body in his arms, Xu Qi's eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

He rubbed the other's little head, bent down slightly, and kissed Theresa on the forehead.

"Okay, go to the living room, say hello to my dad, and then find a place to sit for a while."

"Oh……"

She ran away with her little face flushed.

Lin Lai sighed: "These girls are really good to you."

"I know, Mom."

After everyone had entered the house, Xu Qi walked into the living room and was left in a state of confusion at the sight of the scene before him.

The two sofas in the living room were full, so there was nothing we could do but find a few small stools.

Fortunately, Xu Qi's house is quite big, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate more than ten people as guests.

"Hey? Where's Dad?"

Mei pointed to the kitchen.

"He's been in the kitchen. I told him that he doesn't need to prepare any more meals, but your father still has to cook himself."

Xu Qi understood.

At this time, Lin Lai also came to the living room with a tea tray. Seeing this, Meiyi hurried forward to take over.

Then several girls came up to help prepare the tea.

Mei held Lin Lai's hand, and Ying quickly made room for Lin Lai to sit on the sofa.

"Mom, please stop being busy and come sit down and talk with us. Many of us are here for the first time. They are either Xu Qi's friends or...

It's just that we have a special relationship, but we all want to get to know you."

Nowadays, Mei is getting more and more comfortable calling "Mom".

Lin Lai looked very satisfied as he looked around the living room. He hadn't looked carefully just now, but now he realized... Oh my God, where on earth did his son find so many beautiful girls?!

Each one is plump and thin, with her own charm.

At this time, she saw a woman with long burgundy hair standing quietly by the side, smiling but not saying a word.

That unique temperament immediately attracted Lin Lai's attention.

She couldn't help but ask, "You...are Eden, right?"

Eden was stunned, obviously she didn't expect that the first words her aunt said after sitting down would be to her.

But... Eden is Eden. No matter what time it is, she always looks calm and at ease.

She nodded with a smile and said, "Aunt, I am Eden."

"I often hear my son mention you. He said that you helped him a lot when he first left home. Oh! And Ai Li, she also often says that she has a friend named Eden who takes good care of Xu Qi."

Sitting on another sofa, Ai Li's big eyes flickered. She scratched her head and said shyly, "Mom, so you remember everything..."

Ai Li now calls "Mom" very naturally.

Eden obviously didn't expect that even though his own people didn't come, he would have so many assists.

Glancing at the boy's back as he walked towards the kitchen, Eden knew why Xu Qi specifically mentioned her.

"It's nothing. I like Xu Qi very much. Ever since I met him, I have accepted him as my younger brother. Since he is my elder sister, it is only natural for me to help him more."

······

As soon as Xu Qi walked into the kitchen, he saw Xu Youde, wearing an apron, frying vegetables in front of an iron wok.

"Dad, are you still busy?"

"What else? Now, this living room is full of women. How can I stay here?"

Xu Qi couldn't help laughing.

"Just now they all came to my kitchen and said hello to me. I counted them... 15. Aren't they all your girlfriends?"

"It's not that exaggerated. Some of them are my roommates. I just brought them here because they were making trouble. Didn't you see Grayshu? Such a young girl can't be my girlfriend, right?"

Xu Youde has an impression.

"Indeed, I almost thought I was already a grandfather."

The father and son looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"You still can't cook?"

Xu Qi smiled bitterly.

"Dad, I will never be able to learn your cooking skills in my lifetime. Mei usually cooks for me, she's good at it, why don't I let her come in and help you?"

"no need."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dish of home-cooked dishes was already out of the pot and then covered with a heat-insulating cover.

"Are you spending New Year's Eve here tomorrow?"

"Yeah? What's wrong, Dad?"

Xu Youde turned around and looked at his son. On his slightly weathered face, wrinkles were visible. He didn't know when, but his hair, which was originally jet black, had turned half white.

"Nothing, just thinking about when I can hold my grandson."

Xu Qi laughed.

"It's almost there, isn't this just hard work..."

Xu Youde shook his head.

"You... still haven't grown up. If there's no one to take care of you, your mother and I will always be worried. Fortunately, you have started a family now.

Your mother and I approve of Mei and the others. They are good in every way except that they spoil you too much."

Xu Qi smiled innocently.

"I always treated you like a child and forced you to do many things..."

"Dad! It's all over..."

Xu Youde waved his hand, "Let me finish... We were wrong about what happened before. As for your uncle's family, I didn't invite them over this year."

Xu Qi was silent.

“Maybe the relationship between the two families will fade from now on…it doesn’t matter.

A blessing in disguise. If that incident hadn't happened, you wouldn't have run away from home, and you probably wouldn't have met those girls in the living room, right?

Everything is fine, except that your uncle got slapped by you, and he probably still remembers it."

Xu Qi grinned, looking like he hadn't reflected on his actions at all.

Xu Youde was happy. After all, he was his own child and his heart would always be with him.

"Can I drink?"

"Yes!" Xu Qi patted his chest. "If you ask, I can do it!"

"You little brat...go serve the food!"

575. Little Gray Xiu will feel sorry for brother Xu Qi

The family dinner in the evening was much more sumptuous than I had imagined.

A large round table that I found from nowhere was placed in the middle of the living room, just enough for about ten people to sit around it. Some dishes were placed far away, so there was no need to be polite.

Just stand up and pick it up, or ask someone to help you pass it to you.

Since it's a family dinner, there aren't naturally so many etiquettes.

Moreover, the taste of the dish was also quite excellent. Even Mei couldn't help but praise it after taking a bite.

"Not bad..."

Xu Qi couldn't help but say, "When my dad was young, he opened a small restaurant and was famous for his cooking skills. Even when I was a child, he often cooked."

Xu Youde was naturally very happy to receive praise from his son.

"Boy, I haven't even told you about your past, but you're talking about me first."

After hearing this, Mei couldn't help but glance at Xu Qi.

"But you don't seem to be very good at cooking..."

"Uh...I have you~~"

"So I'm a housewife, right?!"

Everyone laughed.

I always feel that the name Mei and the cook are very appropriate.

During the meal, Xu Youde took out the old rice wine that he had collected for many years. The older generation of Shanghai people loved it, so the father and son each warmed up a bowl.

Eden asked Anna to bring up a bottle of red wine.

The alcohol content is not high, at most it can make people slightly tipsy, a bit like beverage wine.

But Grace still couldn't drink it, so Xu Qi took out a bottle of coconut milk from the refrigerator.

"Brother Xu Qi, Gray Xiu will take a bite..."

Children are always curious about everything.

But Xu Qi still shook his head firmly and said, "Grayxiu, you must be obedient. If you can avoid drinking, then don't drink. Especially since you are still young."

Xu Youde added with a smile: "Grayxiu, if your brother Xu Qi dared to drink when he was a child, I would beat him with a feather duster."

As a result, after Xu Youde finished speaking, Grayxiu put her hands on her hips and frowned.

"Grandpa Xu, even if you are Brother Xu Qi's father, it is wrong to hit someone."

The little girl's soft voice, with her undying childishness, became the most childish yet the most touching words on the table.

Xu Qi stared at Grayxiu blankly, then walked over with a smile and picked up little Grayxiu.

Seeing this, Mei smiled and gave up her seat so that Grayxiu could sit next to Xu Qi.

Xu Youde couldn't stop laughing.

It’s as if… as if I really already have a granddaughter.

At this time, Grace was sitting between Xu Qi and Meiyi. Meiyi couldn't help but think with a surge of maternal love - they were really like a family...

"Little Grace feels sorry for Brother Xu Qi. I am really touched."

Xu Youde slapped his head and suddenly stood up and went back to his room.

When he came out again, he was holding a jade pendant in his hand.

"Grayxiu, Grandpa was wrong. Grandpa shouldn't have beaten and scolded your brother Xu Qi. Here! Look, is this jade pendant beautiful?"

The star-like eyes twinkle with starlight.
