Moved to Golden Courtyard

Grace looked at Xu Youde, then at Xu Qi.

Only after Xu Qi nodded did he take the jade pendant.

"Thank you, Grandpa... It's beautiful! I like it..."

Xu Qi couldn't help but glance at his father. After he sat down again, he leaned over and said, "Dad, you're so generous... Have you given away the Xu family's heirloom jade pendant?"

"What? Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, then go and have a baby. Your mother still has one."

Xu Qi couldn't stop smiling.

He knew that his father really treated Grace as his granddaughter.

The so-called family happiness is nothing more than this.

The atmosphere of the banquet was quite heated from the beginning.

Until the end, at Eden's suggestion, the younger generation stood up and toasted the two elders. Those who could not drink alcohol drank tea instead.

Xu Qi saw clearly that the last toast made his mother's eyes sparkle, and she was about to burst into tears...

Perhaps the old couple never thought that their family would be as lively as it is today, and they never thought that this day... would come so early.

All good things must come to an end. After the dinner, Xu Youde declined everyone's offer to stay and help clean up, and walked everyone downstairs.

"Go back, go back. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I wish you all a happy New Year in advance."

Xu Qi couldn't help laughing and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Didn't you agree to go to the Golden Courtyard with me on New Year's Day? It will be lively then."

Xu Youde didn't say anything, just smiled and waved his hand.

Xu Qi also looked at Eden and said, "Sister, you send everyone back first, I'll be back soon."

"it is good."

Yiden glanced at Xu Youde for the last time and said, "Uncle, we'll leave first."

Xu Youde nodded, with a smile on his face, and said, "Xu Qi will be in your hands from now on."

Eden was stunned. She subconsciously glanced at Xu Qi, but seeing that the other party was still standing there with a silly smile, she didn't say anything more. She waved her hand and got into the car.

"You should go back too. It's getting late."

"It's okay, Dad. Can I stay with you for a while?"

"Hypocritical, what have you been doing so far?"

"Wasn't he in a rebellious period before? That's why he didn't go home."

Xu Youde laughed and said, "Then your rebellious period came too late. You haven't grown up yet, right?"

Xu Qi scratched his head and did not refute.

When I was young, I dreamed of growing up, but when I really grew up... I dreamed of continuing to be a child.

For Xu Qi, as long as he is with his parents, he can be a child forever.

"Well, you have to come over tomorrow anyway, so go back and rest early."

"So I really went back?"

Xu Youde waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go back! Go back! You don't have to bother hanging around."

"That can't be helped. I'm your son."

Seeing Xu Youde raise his hand, Xu Qi shrank his head with a smile.

"Then I'm really leaving?"

Xu Youde raised his chin, Xu Qi opened his arms, and the father and son hugged each other for the last time.

"Let's go! Dad!"

Standing downstairs and watching the car turn the corner, Xu Youde walked back, climbed the stairs and went home.

But at home, Lin Lai sat on the sofa in a daze.

When I calm down, everything that happened just now seems like a dream, and only now is it called real life.

"gone?"

"Well, let's go."

Xu Youde sat next to his wife.

"Grown up...really grown up."

"I think he's still like a little kid."

"You... you just say that. It can be seen that he is actually... already very attached to that home, the home that belongs to him."

Xu Youde was silent.

"One year, it's just a blink of an eye, old man, how can it be so fast? I always feel that it will take Xiaoqi a long time... to get married, have children, and form a new family."

Lin Lai suddenly leaned on Xu Youde's shoulder, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, unable to tell whether she was feeling sad or happy.

"How come in the blink of an eye... my son already has his own family?"

Yes... in the blink of an eye, the little eagle that was crying out for food before has already flown higher than them.

"The road ahead will depend entirely on him."

576. What were the young couple doing last night?

The next day was New Year’s Eve.

When Xu Qi got up, Meiyi was still dazed in her bed, mumbling, "Why did you get up so early on a holiday...why don't you sleep a little longer?"

After Xu Qi put on his clothes and covered Meiyi with the quilt, he patted her plump and perky breasts and said with a smile, "You little pig, it's already 9 o'clock and still early?"

"It's only 9 o'clock...I didn't go to bed until after 1 o'clock last night."

The young couple lay in the same bed and went to bed at 1 a.m. So what were they doing last night?

It’s really hard to guess.

Kissing Mei on the forehead, Xu Qi said, "I'm going to my parents' place."

Meiyi was no longer sleepy when she heard this. She opened her eyes and said, "Do you want me to go with you?"

So...you little girls are fighting with each other all the time, visiting Xu Qi's parents, and feeding the tiger with yourselves to be played with by Xu Qi in various ways. Is this necessary?

As long as you can coax Xu Qi into your bed on the night before New Year's Eve, and then talk to him on the pillow, wouldn't that be all you need?

Although it seemed like he was also feeding the tiger with his own body, letting Xu Qi play with him in various ways...

But the key is timing~~

Then Xu Qi said something.

"no need."

Meiyi was immediately displeased, her face darkened, she turned around and said with a groan: "Oh? Really? Which girl did you promise to go with?"

Knowing that Mei was jealous, Xu Qi found it amusing.

He explained: "I didn't promise anyone, but today, I want to go alone."

"You alone?"

Mei looked at Xu Qi in confusion, then understood.

"You want to go there simply as a son, right?"

Anyway, Mei understands him.

"Then go ahead, but you have to call me at night. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you and will miss you."

Xu Qi was speechless - I miss you too, Meiyi...

Even if we are apart for just one day, I can't stop missing you.

Xu Qi didn't say anything more, nor did she say hello to the other girls in the courtyard. She just left.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would never be able to go back.

Perhaps, this is the last time that I can go home alone. From now on, my parents will no longer be the only ones in my life.

I will have a new family, a family of my own.

And he also has to devote more energy and more time to this family.

To love your wife and take care of your children.

This time it’s no longer a teenager running away from home, but he is going out... to start his own business.

……

Standing at the door of his house, Xu Qi took a deep breath.

It’s the first time...I actually feel nervous when going home.

He tapped his fingers and knocked on the door.

"dong dong dong"

The sound echoed in the stairwell, but after a long time, Xu Qi did not hear any footsteps coming from inside the door.

He frowned and knocked on the door again.

"dong dong dong"

……

Xu Qi seemed to realize something. He took out the key and opened the door. As soon as he walked into the house, he couldn't wait to shout twice - "Dad! Mom!"

No one responded...

Xu Qi stood in the room blankly - did he go out to buy groceries?

At this moment, he saw a letter lying quietly on the large round table in the living room that was used for last night's banquet.

······

At Pudong Airport, inside the terminal, Xu Youde and his wife Lin Lai have begun preparing to board the flight and check in.

"Old man, tell me, will Xiaoqi blame us for leaving without saying goodbye?"

"Really? I wrote him a letter, so it doesn't count as leaving without saying goodbye."

Lin Lai couldn't help but roll his eyes at his partner.

"Only people like you would bother writing a letter. I think you should have just told your son last night. Why make it so complicated?"

Xu Youde grinned but didn't explain.

He was afraid that after he told his son, his son would try to dissuade him and he would not want to leave anymore.

But he didn't want to tell his wife about such a useless thing!

"Forget about him! We have been busy for most of our lives, getting up early and going to bed late every day. What do you think we are doing? Now that our son has started a family, we should also enjoy our own world of two, don't you think?"

"Come on, you're already in your forties, why are you still just hanging out together?"

"Hahaha!"

······

To my beloved son:

Son, please forgive mom and dad for leaving without saying goodbye. In fact, we have already agreed that when we have real free time, we will travel around the world together.

How about it? Your dad's decision is very romantic, isn't it? Not worse than you young guys.

I was very happy last night. Although I wanted to find a stick to beat you up when I thought about how you, a bad boy, had ruined so many good girls, I was not so angry when I thought about how you were my son.

It can be seen that they all love you very much... In this case, we are relieved. Seeing that you finally have your own family, mom and dad are sincerely happy for you.

In the past, I was always worried that you wouldn’t grow up, but now that you have really grown up, I can’t bear to let you go.

……

Tears blurred Xu Qi's eyes, and he quickly wiped some away so as not to be able to see the contents of the letter clearly.
