Moved to Golden Courtyard

"Ok?"

Xu Qi grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into Meiyi's mouth.

"Eat well."

586. I want to hold the wedding on your birthday

The first day of the new year in the Golden Courtyard was relatively deserted.

Even a person like Qianjie has relatives and friends who need to be visited. For example, although Chief Engineer Xia has no blood relationship with Xu Qi, he has already become an elder that Xu Qi truly respects.

This principle is the same.

So Kevin and the others went out early in the morning.

Even Eden was no exception, she had to take Grace to meet her parents.

Throughout the year, perhaps only on the first and second days of the Chinese New Year can Grace see her parents.

Kosmo has no such need.

Because he is an orphan...

But he never felt that there was anything wrong with it. In the Golden Courtyard, no one around him would even have such scruples. Even the bastard Xu Qi would make fun of Kosmo's hellish jokes.

Of course, this is also because Kosmo never considered himself an orphan. What he doesn’t have is parents, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the love and care of his family.

He is already a sophomore in high school this year and is considered a big kid, so he went out alone in the morning to visit the orphanage that adopted him and wish the director a happy new year.

Everyone else also had someone they needed to visit, so by the afternoon, Mei was the only one left by Xu Qi's side.

"Let's go? Come with me to meet Chief Engineer Xia."

"Yeah." At this point, Mei seems to be more relaxed about this matter.

Obviously, she already regarded herself as Xu Qi's wife.

And Xu Qi had long regarded himself as the other party's husband.

So today we are not just going to visit Chief Engineer Xia...

"After we meet with Chief Engineer Xia, we'll go to Tilanqiao."

Meiyi nodded.

Now, she no longer feels inferior because her father is a sinner.

That Christmas, when the ring was put on her ring finger, Mei knew that she was no longer just the daughter of Raiden Ryoma.

She is also Xu Qi's wife.

It's not an exaggeration to say that I've been reborn...

Thinking of this, Mei looked at Xu Qi's left hand holding the steering wheel, and there was clearly a ring on his ring finger.

They are really a couple...

I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart.

Especially when we arrived at Chief Engineer Xia’s house.

"Oh my!~~ You are such a brat, why are you here so late? Why bring any gifts?"

Although he said this, the old man's face was clearly wrinkled from smiling.

Xu Qi helped put the bottles of old yellow wine that he had begged from Yiden at the door and said happily, "Uncle, I can't come here empty-handed, can I?"

Chief Engineer Xia warmly invited Xu Qi and Mei Yi into the house.

It's a villa with a lot of space.

Chief Engineer Xia keenly noticed the rings on the two people's hands and smiled brightly.

He looked at Mei carefully, was stunned for a moment, and said: "You are..."

Meiyi quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Xia, I am Meiyi."

"I think I've seen you before...Xu boy! Isn't my granddaughter-in-law the little girl you held in your arms that day in Meilong?"

Mei blushed and nodded shyly.

"Mr. Xia, that day...it was me."

"Hahahaha! That's great! Lovers finally get married, which is better than anything else. My son hasn't found a husband yet, but my disciple's grandson has already got married."

Xu Qi was helping to put the gift away for Chief Engineer Xia, and paused when he heard this.

"Uncle, my master...didn't come this year?"

Chief Engineer Xia snorted coldly and said unhappily, "What do you mean by coming or not? Wasn't he shot?!"

Xu Qi hurried forward, helped Chief Engineer Xia stroke his back, and helped him sit on the sofa.

Mei also sat obediently beside Xu Qi - what to do! She said she wasn't nervous, but... but this really made her look exactly like Xu Qi's wife!

Oh, that's not right...I am Xu Qi's wife! ?

"Uncle, look at my mouth, I won't mention him."

Although he said he would not mention him, Chief Engineer Xia asked, "Huh? Why are you calling him Master again?"

"Forehead……"

Xu Qi didn't say anything, but Chief Engineer Xia could guess it - that bastard Xia Ya still missed his apprentice after all.

"I won't say any more. No matter whether he's dead or alive, or what state he's fallen into, it's all his own fault. Fortunately... you stopped him before he made the biggest mistake."

Chief Engineer Xia sighed.

"It's me who should thank you, Xu Qi."

Xu Qi smiled casually, opened a bottle of rice wine, and poured it for Mr. Xia and himself.

"Okay, uncle, let's not talk about this on New Year's Day. If Master doesn't come to see you off, I will definitely come."

"Hey! Pamphlet guy, are you cursing me to death? Have a drink yourself!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

For the older generation of Shanghainese, just a few ounces of rice wine can bring back many of their memories.

Chief Engineer Xia was in a rare good mood today, so he talked a lot about his past when he was young, but in fact most of it... could not avoid talking about his son Xia Ya.

At around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, Chief Engineer Xia's wife came back from outside. Later, we learned that Chief Engineer Xia was supposed to go back to his daughter's house today, but because Xu Qi was coming, he had been waiting at home.

But they didn't dare to embarrass the old man, so they quickly got up and prepared to go home.

Declining the other party's invitation to dinner, Xu Qi said, "It's okay, uncle. You should stay with your daughter for a few days tomorrow. You don't have to accommodate me like this."

"Okay, okay, I got it... On your wedding day with Mei, please remember me, an old man, okay?"

"Haha! Of course! Okay, uncle, just send it here. It's cold outside."

"Well, you don't have to come during the Chinese New Year. Any time is fine. I'm going to retire soon anyway."

"Okay! Definitely!"

After leaving Old Xia and his family, Xu Qi and Mei Yi couldn't help but become silent when thinking about where they were going next.

"Mr. Xia really treats you as his grandson. Xu Qi, where are your grandparents?"

"He died when I was very young. The elderly in my family all died early."

"Feel sorry……"

Xu Qi held the steering wheel with one hand and reached out with the other hand to scratch Meiyi's nose.

"Don't you think it's strange to tell me this?"

"hey-hey……"

"After the Chinese New Year, you will be one year older. In April next year, we can officially get married."

Mei felt a little uncomfortable hearing Xu Qi talk about this so formally, and responded shyly.

"I plan to set the wedding on your birthday next year, is that okay?"

"You arrange it... I can do anything..."

"How can that be? My wife's opinion is very important."

In the past, when Mei called each other husband and wife, they were just talking about the fun in the bedroom, but when she realized that they would really be husband and wife in the future...she felt shy the more she heard it.

"Well... I'll take care of it then. After all, I'm still in school and I have a little more free time."

"Okay, I'll be relieved if you do it."

Mei's smile is as sweet as honey.

"Wait...should I tell my father about all this? Including the wedding..."

"Let me tell you, speaking of which... this is the first time that I, an incompetent son-in-law, visit my father-in-law."

587. When you are old, I will answer your question

When you walk into the prison, no matter how happy you were before, you will inevitably feel a layer of gloom.

When Xu Qi saw his father-in-law in prison uniform, he was a little dazed for a moment. For no reason, this thought popped into his mind.

I will not be that kind of father...never!

"Mea Yi..."

The cloudy and lifeless eyes only had a little light when he saw his daughter. Through a glass wall, Ryoma saw Xu Qi standing next to Mei.

Thunder Dragon Horse was slightly stunned.

It was not because the other person was a man, but because he saw the rings on the ring fingers of Xu Qi and Mei's left and right hands.

"Father, he is the Xu Qi I have been talking to you about before, and he is also my...husband."

……

The two men looked at each other.

Xu Qi did not show enough respect, but that was definitely not because he did not respect Mei.

However, Xu Qi’s expression was complicated.

He thanked Raiden Ryoma for bringing Mei into this world and raising her. If not for that, he would not have met a good girl like Mei.

But it was also him... because of his imprisonment, Mei had a desperate memory of youth and was left with a deep psychological trauma.

Whatever the reason, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

And Thunder Ryoma seemed to understand the young man's thoughts.

He suddenly smiled with relief.

"Before... I was always worried about what kind of boyfriend Mei found for herself. Especially when I knew that there was a seven or eight year age difference between you two, I became even more worried."

Through the glass, Raiden Ryoma, wearing prisoner uniform, stood and looked at Xu Qi.

"You love Mei very much."

"Of course I love her." Xu Qi's words were calm but firm.

"I'm sorry I didn't come to see you before."

Raiden Ryoma suddenly smiled.

"Are you... mad at me?"

Mei suddenly became nervous.

She looked at Xu Qi, obviously not knowing why her lover was angry with her father.

"Well... Although Mei has always not wanted me to see you, it is not difficult to see you if I want to. The reason is that I don't want to see you either."

Xu Qi's expression was somewhat cold, his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.

"Because your presence hurts her."
