We moved to Golden Courtyard

You're still a little inexperienced, but that's okay. We can wait, and you're young enough. There's nothing happier in this world than this.

……

Xu Qi fell into a long silence. Bronya, resting her chin on her hand, teased, "What? Moved to tears again?"

“You have treated me like a national hero, and I will repay you with the same devotion! Inspector Bronya… I, Xu Qi, am willing to dedicate my life to repaying your kindness and recognition.”

……

Bronya suddenly sniffed and looked away from her slightly reddened eyes.

"Honestly, why are you suddenly speaking so formally? What are you trying to do? I'm not buying it. You're definitely trying to trick me, and I won't let you..."

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Rita glanced helplessly at Bronya, whose face was flushed red and who knew she had spoken out of turn.

He glared at Xu Qi, whose expression was strange.

What was supposed to be a pleasant scene of mutual understanding between superiors and subordinates has been completely ruined by you, you womanizer!

Xu Qi chuckled awkwardly—This…this isn’t my fault, is it…

"In short, the matter of Director Yang has finally come to an end, and now it's time for our main focus. No matter what the outcome of the negotiations between the company and the Gold Group is, our music must be guaranteed."

Xu Qi nodded.

"Don't worry about the supervision, this is absolutely guaranteed."

Thinking of the legendary Miss Eden and Xu Qi's relationship... Bronya couldn't help but smile bitterly—it was true, but... why did she feel inexplicably uncomfortable?

"The storyboard for episode 3 should be ready by next week. The production of Seed is gradually getting on track, and we'll be busy for a long time to come."

But Xu Qi suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something, and asked.

“Bronya, the internal problems are solved now, but the external ones…”

"I understand what you mean."

Bronya narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Even you thought of that, Miss Jiang... Do you think I would let her go? This time I've been so embarrassed, and the whole thing was caused by this woman."

Xu Qi laughed and said, "This time, you won't hide it from me anymore, right?"

"Of course, but it's not the right time yet. We need to take things one step at a time. Right now, the most important thing is to ensure the progress of Alahato Seed. Manager Xu Qi."

"Yes!"

"I've put all my eggs in one basket... Don't let me down."

330. Sakura: How about we work a little longer?

"cheers!"

That evening, back at the Golden Courtyard, everyone gathered together, and each person had a little wine to celebrate Xu Qi's safe passage through this ordeal.

Even Theresa was there. The little girl didn't work overtime today; she drove her Houmu Beetle back early. The car was specially transported from Guangcheng.

"Hehe! You guys don't know, when I bumped into him, I deliberately moved aside a bit and bumped him with my shoulder, and then I couldn't hold the documents in my hand."

"Move it?" Mei looked at the cat with amusement and teased, "Why should I move it?"

"Huh? I don't want to bump into him! That old man looks so decayed. If I hadn't been out late and hadn't had time to buy coffee, I would have definitely grabbed a coffee and splashed it all over him."

Mei and Airi exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles.

As soon as Pado finished speaking, Ellie immediately followed up with a question.

"Really? Who is Little Paddo planning to bump into? Is it... Xu Qi?"

Xu Qi, who was chatting happily with Kevin and Theresa, suddenly heard the topic mention him, so he sat down next to Mei and asked.

"What's wrong? What were you talking about? Why did you suddenly mention me?"

It would have been better if Xu Qi hadn't come; as soon as he sat down, Maomao's face turned red.

"Um... um... I..."

Paddo started to move away, but as she moved, she bumped into someone. Turning her head, she saw... Aunt Möbius, who was drinking tea.

"Teach! ...Teach, teach, teach! Professor!"

Mebius turned his head with a smile.

"What? Am I that scary?"

……

Little Paddo, like a wilted flower, sat back down.

Mebius chuckled to himself, exchanging a glance with Sakura beside him; the two seemed quite eager for what would happen next.

Xu Qi was completely confused. He thought Mei and Airi were ganging up on the cat. But Pado was the hero of the day! Without her stealing the documents, Xu Qi would have had a hard time proceeding.

After Pado moved over again, Xu Qi rubbed her little head and said, "It's okay, Pado. Did Mei and the others bully you? I'll teach them a lesson for you."

Ellie had a sullen face.

"Oh no! How could this happen..."

Mei looked at Xu Qi with a half-smile. A lesson? How could she teach him a lesson? To come and pay his dues?

Seemingly understanding Mei's thoughts, Xu Qi smiled somewhat reluctantly, feeling like a lamb being led to the slaughter—suddenly, he began to understand the pain of married men.

"No...no, it's not that..."

The cat snuggled into Xu Qi's arms, nuzzled against him with its head, and showed a contented expression.

This struck Xu Qi as odd, so he reached out and scratched under Pado's chin.

The cat simply squinted its eyes comfortably.

It really is a cat!

Mei and Airi exchanged another glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes—this cat really does have feelings for Xu Qi!

Now it was their turn to go crazy.

Is Xu Qi some kind of hot commodity?! Everyone wants a piece of him?

Sakura laughed so hard she collapsed onto Mebius, who looked utterly helpless—she was just a guinea pig, so why did so many people want a piece of the pie?

"We were just talking about what happened this morning. That Director Yang is so easy to fool. I pretended to be one of your company's employees and actually managed to fool him, hehe!~~"

Xu Qi chuckled softly after hearing this.

"He was too impatient. At that time, he was probably thinking about how to use me to create an opening and then attack Bronya."

Unfortunately, all efforts were in vain…

Xu Qi looked at Ying.

"I have to thank Sister Ying. If it weren't for Sister Ying, even if I knew what Director Yang was going to do, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a particularly good way to deal with it."

However, Sakura shook her head.

"Why would you have such an idea? Xu Qi, I'm just providing you with a direction, but you're the one who actually puts it into practice."

You should thank Padma; she helped you steal the documents, leaving the other party with no way out but to open the original files in public. You should also thank Kevin; without Kevin's "Matrix," you wouldn't have been able to manipulate Director Yang in such a thuggish manner.

But most importantly... Xu Qi, you have to thank yourself.

Everyone listened attentively as Sakura spoke.

Perhaps this is Sakura's aura. She is not the oldest or the most senior, but as long as she stands there, she exudes the demeanor of an elder.

It makes people unconsciously listen to a few more words and think about it silently.

"You should thank yourself for remaining calm and composed in the face of danger, and for dealing with all the schemes with composure."

You should thank yourself for being fearless in the face of adversity, for your initial conviction, and for making a life-or-death struggle with Director Yang in the company.

You should thank yourself for your silver tongue, for being able to easily express your inner thoughts in a highly persuasive way and convince everyone.

And what you should be most grateful to yourself for is your unwavering sincerity and your heart always turned towards the light. This is why you've been able to gather so many like-minded partners around you, sharing your burdens and helping you through difficult times.

……

After Sakura finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the living room.

Everyone stared blankly at Sakura, seemingly lost in her words, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

Sakura blinked her eyes.

Why is everyone looking at me?

Pado straightened up from Xu Qi's embrace and suddenly felt a little emotional—the boss is indeed the boss, the women he marries are all more capable than the last!

Oh... although those who can live in the Golden Courtyard must possess extraordinary abilities.

Besides me, I'm just a cat...

Xu Qi couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, but it quickly turned into gratitude towards everyone.

"Indeed, just as Sister Ying said, I am where I am today because of everyone in the Golden Garden."

Theresa, who had been pondering to the side, couldn't help but laugh when she heard Xu Qi's words: "So you overlooked the four most impressive parts of Sister Ying's self-thank-you speech?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Mei teased, "Kevin is indeed your partner... or rather, your brother."

Kevin nodded in deep agreement.

"And the others here? Can they really be considered your partners? I bet they're your women... You're trying to get them to join you in this mess, aren't you?"

After Mei finished speaking, aside from Xu Qi awkwardly scratching his head, even Kevin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's rare to see this icy-faced person smile so happily.

"I, Xu Qi, am deeply honored to know you all."

······

As night fell and the brief gathering came to an end, everyone felt sleepy and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Xu Qi returned to her room and was about to take off her clothes to take a shower when she heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door with a puzzled look... and Sakura's tall figure came into view.

"Sister Ying?"

"Ready to sleep?"

"Um……"

Xu Qi subconsciously moved aside to let the other person in, but soon, Xu Qi's expression changed!

Don't be ridiculous. Neither he nor Sakura are virgins, and they each gave their first time to each other. Coming here so late... isn't it obvious what they're up to?

"Um... well... Sister Ying, I still have to write later..."

"You still have to work overtime when you get home tonight?"

He sat on Xu Qi's bed and braced himself with his hands behind him.

Ying glanced seductively at Xu Qi and licked the corner of her lips.

"Then how about...working overtime on me for a while?"

331. Mei is really understanding.

At this moment, let's imagine it.

A woman wearing a white shirt, shorts, and white stockings covering her left leg is sitting on your bed, beckoning to you while muttering something.

"Work overtime on me for a bit?"

I think any man facing this situation would only have one choice.

Especially since the two had already consummated their marriage, it would be more accurate to say that Ying was the first woman to truly help Xu Qi grow into a man—in every sense of the word.

Xu Qi sighed and walked towards the bed while taking off his outer clothes.
