We moved to Golden Courtyard

Oh wait... actually, this GTR belongs to Eden.

It doesn't matter, there are a bunch of cars parked in the underground garage of Golden Courtyard anyway, Xu Qi can drive whichever he likes, but he only really loves this one.

It's now generally accepted that this GTR, which looks like a black knight, is Xu Qi's beloved car.

Hmm... It would be best to expand on this further, and from now on, let's just assume Eden is Xu Qi's love... Cough! Eden shook his head, unable to think about it any further.

I glanced at Xu Qi beside me. Even though it had been more than a month, he looked... almost unchanged.

Most importantly, Eden could sense that, at least for now, he still considered her his older sister.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel anxious and uncertain again...

But Xu Qi didn't know that he glanced at Eden beside him and suddenly said, "That's great. With Sister Eden back this time, she shouldn't have to travel far for a long time."

Eden tilted his head and asked curiously, "How did you know?"

“There are a lot of side stories in Alahato Seed, and they have to follow the plan. Sister Eden, you won’t be leaving until at least a year and a half has passed.”

Eden finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Are you so reluctant to see your sister leave?"

"Yes, I'm reluctant to part with it."

……

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became slightly ambiguous.

Anna, sitting in the back, felt that she should be the one driving, while Xu Qi and the boss sat in the back. That would be a more reasonable arrangement.

"It's okay, this time... I'll be staying for a long time."

Not wanting the silence in the car to continue because of this topic, Eden took the initiative to ask.

"During the month I was away, did you find me a lot more younger siblings?"

"Well... there aren't that many..."

"So you mean you've looked for it?"

Xu Qi's smile was extremely awkward.

"Rita, I have heard you mention this before. You said you really like her, that you feel a kind of sisterly care for her, is that right? It seems you're not satisfied with me as your sister..."

"no!"

Xu Qi quickly explained, "Sister Eden is Sister Eden, no one can replace her!"

It wasn't said—Eden will always be his sister…

Aquaman's attributes are laid bare.

But Eden's heart was still pounding and his cheeks flushed slightly after hearing this... It wasn't that he didn't want Xu Qi to get close, but he still liked the Xu Qi who still treated him like a younger brother.

Eden felt that he was probably sick...

Because she even discovered that she might still prefer Xu Qi, who had the identity of a younger brother.

Not only because it's Xu Qi, but also because it's her younger brother.

"Fu Hua, I've heard about it. The battle at Mount Taixu was quite impressive."

“I hope my family will never be trapped by anything… Mount Taixu does not belong to Fu Hua; she should fly in a wider sky.”

Eden thinks so too, right?

Otherwise, I wouldn't have lured Fu Hua to the Golden Garden in the first place... Eden thought with a smile.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Eden suddenly asked a question.

"How is the relationship with Aponia?"

"It's the same as always with Sister Nia..." He stopped mid-sentence... the rest of the sentence stuck in Xu Qi's throat...

Same as always? How could that be?

It was just that I thought about how Aponia and Eden were also best friends, so I subconsciously wanted to keep it a secret.

Why would Sister Eden ask this question? Does she... already know everything?

How could someone so far away in England know so much about what's happening here?

Eden sighed softly—it seemed he had succeeded…

How could she not know? After all, how to get close to Xu Qi was the method she came up with for Aponia, but she didn't expect... this nun to act so quickly.

So, who in the courtyard hasn't fallen victim to Xu Qi's wickedness?

Vilvi...it should be soon.

Cats are pretty much the same.

That means it's just Gretchen and myself...

Greta shouldn't go that far. Eden was quite confident in Xu Qi about this; he wasn't the kind of beast who would lay a hand on a little girl.

The reason he can be with Theresa is because Theresa is a true adult; her small body contains the heart of a cool and capable woman.

Looking back, despite the kisses, perhaps I'm the one who's progressing the slowest...

Because I'm his older sister?

Eden smiled bitterly as she thought—she hadn't even gotten past her own hurdle yet…

She liked Xu Qi, who was her younger brother, but just because he was her younger brother... she shouldn't have liked him...

But to spend the rest of my life watching Xu Qi, protecting him, and being a familiar stranger? No… absolutely not!

Just thinking about it makes my heart ache as if it's being torn apart!

Having Xu Qi in her life was Eden's good fortune, but also her misfortune...

"Sister Eden, I...I'm not..."

“I understand… It was Aponia who initiated it, right?”

Xu Qi wanted to nod, but after thinking it over, he admitted, "I couldn't help it. I was already... I was already lusting after Sister Nia's body, and I was already lusting after Sister Nia herself."

The thought that Nia liked me too made me really... I couldn't bear to reject Nia; I didn't want to see her sad or heartbroken..."

The deeper his interactions with the women in the courtyard, the harder it became for him to let go.

When it comes to matters of the heart, Xu Qi is always so indecisive.

Nobody wants to hurt anyone... If it weren't for a generous, gentle, and charismatic woman like Mei by your side, you would only end up hurting everyone, Xu Qi...

Thinking about this, even Eden has to thank Mei.

Without Mei, Xu Qi would be surrounded by dangers. Women like Mebius and Sakura... Eden couldn't even imagine what terrifying things they would do to get Xu Qi.

"So, how far have things progressed between you and her?"

Like a child whose mistake has been discovered by his older sister, Xu Qi whispered, "We...we've had some intimacy, but we haven't...taken the final step yet."

"Don't you like it?"

"No, I definitely like Sister Nia."

“I understand.” Eden smiled. “It’s because you feel that this liking hasn’t fully transformed into love for Aponia, which is why you haven’t taken action yet.”

It must be said that the first person in the world to understand Xu Qi is Mei, and the second person to understand Xu Qi may not be Xu Qi himself, but Eden.

"...That's right..."

Sure enough, Xu Qi is still the same Xu Qi.

Feeling a bit better, Eden decided not to hold a grudge against Xu Qi for having given him several younger siblings.

"Let's go back to the courtyard. I have a gift for you later."

361. Think about it, Sister Eden...

I'm really curious, what kind of gift will Sister Eden give herself?

Xu Qi couldn't guess.

But when I drove back to the courtyard, I saw the lights were still on, and I knew that everyone was still awake, waiting for Eden to return...

"Go back to the company first and keep an eye on the materials that need to be prepared on Thursday."

This was said to Anna.

Xu Qi and Eden got out of the car, while Anna got back into the driver's seat.

This young woman with long chestnut hair is actually a rare beauty. Coupled with her slightly aloof aura, she is very popular in the company.

Before leaving, Xu Qi couldn't help but glance at the other person out of curiosity.

Although she is Eden's most important secretary, she and Xu Qi don't actually have much interaction.

He is a very capable person. After all, someone like Eden would normally be accompanied by three secretaries when he goes out: one for personal matters, one for finances, and then the administrative secretary that everyone knows.

But Anna handled all three tasks by herself.

This demonstrates his exceptional abilities.

Similarly, Anna couldn't help but glance at Xu Qi with curiosity. After all, it was hard for her not to be curious about a man who could be so intimate with his boss.

The two met, nodded to each other, and that was the end of it.

Only after the car drove away did Eden suddenly laugh and say, "What? You've taken a fancy to her?"

"What are you saying, Sister Eden? I still have a lot of emotional debts to repay myself."

"If you like, I'll help you two get together, how about that?"

Xu Qi rolled her eyes and simply ignored her.

Eden smiled but remained silent.

In fact, Eden could even directly order—Go and keep my brother company in bed.

Anna dared not disobey.

It's hard to imagine that such a situation exists in a society that values ​​human rights, but given Eden's identity... she certainly can.

Because she was like an emperor, the entire Gold Group belonged to her alone.

A board of directors? There's no such thing... Everything belongs to Eden.

"That's quite surprising. I thought you would like any woman who is beautiful and of the right age."

"Sister Eden, don't imagine me as some kind of lustful monster..."

"Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would you... forcefully kiss me when we left Shanghai?"

This really stumped Xu Qi.

In fact, he had been trying his best not to recall everything that had happened in Guangcheng, including the last kiss before leaving Shanghai.

It wasn't for any other reason, but rather because Ying's words that day truly made Xu Qi think a lot.

Eden is, after all... still his sister...

Xu Qi doesn't want to lose Eden, his older sister, since he has already lost Fu Hua, his younger sister. But he also doesn't want to make a decision that Eden will regret.

So we were stuck there, and decided... to let things take their course.

Simply put—it's over.

I'll do whatever Eden decides, whatever she wants me to do. If it really comes to that... Eden wants me...

Then I'll give in to Sister Eden!

In short! Empty your mind and get moving!

As for normal times? Xu Qi would never overstep the bounds in the slightest. He is Eden's younger brother, always has been.

This was the best solution Xu Qi could think of.

So now, Eden is bringing up the things from when she left Shanghai again. What is she trying to do? Does she not want her younger brother anymore...?

"Are you... also looking forward to... the reward...?"

Xu Qi was certain of it, and felt somewhat melancholic about the impending loss of one of his older sisters…
