We moved to Golden Courtyard

"In your heart! What kind of image do I, Xu Qi, have? Am I the kind of bastard who discards women if they don't get to sleep with him, who only plays with other people's bodies and feelings? Is that what you think?!"

"No!...No!" Bronya quickly and excitedly replied.

But Xu Qi seemed genuinely angry.

He approached Bronya step by step, almost questioning her, and said, "Then why did you assume I don't like you?!"

What do you take my feelings for Xu Qi as?

I love you... I fucking love you so much! Ever since that day we came back from Mount Taixu, I've known it in my heart! I, Xu Qi, love Bronya!

379. You are my best birthday gift, Xu Qi

It's out now...

That confession that should have been said long ago was finally... said tonight...

Xu Qi clenched his fists. Although he spoke with a firm and indignant tone, he was actually very nervous, extremely nervous.

Because he was afraid... Bronya would refuse.

It might seem strange that Xu Qi isn't satisfied with having such outstanding girls as Mei.

It wasn't that he was ungrateful, but rather that his feelings for Bronya had unknowingly reached this point.

How could Xu Qi not be moved by Bronya's heartfelt care for him?

She was even willing to take the blame for mistakes that weren't hers...

If Bronya were a man, Xu Qi might have sworn allegiance.

But she was such a beautiful woman, and... he and she had so many ambiguous feelings that were both real and unreal.

I like it! I love it!

Loyalty to one's superior was twisted into love.

Xu Qi knew he shouldn't be doing this, but he still couldn't help himself getting involved!

Tonight is the decisive moment. Xu Qi can no longer suppress his burning emotions and can only keep them bottled up inside!

If you refuse... then refuse...

Bronya stared blankly at Xu Qi, then lowered her head and replied softly.

"I even... closed my eyes, which meant... I agreed to be with you... didn't it? But you still refused, so I thought you... didn't like me anymore..."

Xu Qi grinned – Why are you trying to change the subject?

But there was no way around it; this was also important, and he had to explain it.

"You're not ready to have that kind of relationship with me at all, are you, Bronya!"

"So what! ...So what! You men are probably thinking, 'Let's eat the meat that's already in our mouths first...' right?!"

Xu Qi was so angry that he laughed instead.

"I should have just given it to you directly!"

"Then you come?"

Xu Qi took a deep breath, remained silent for a long time, then turned her head and said softly, "In the end, it's your unwillingness. I won't force you. We can talk about it when you're ready..."

Bronya was stunned—where did this innocent little boy come from?

Wait a minute, you've had so many girlfriends already, how come you can't even learn these basic scumbag tactics?

Crowdfunding group 456127940, you went first? The deed is done, so no matter what happens, I'm sticking with you. Why are you still hesitating here?

Are you a pig, Mr. Xu Qi?!

"No! In the end, we haven't even defined our relationship, how could we do that kind of thing!? That's...that's something only lovers can do!"

Bronya was completely stunned.

So he really is that innocent...

Why don't you just treat this as a one-night stand and enjoy yourself first?

Yes, no... He's Xu Qi, so no.

Bronya suddenly felt relieved.

With a smile on her face, she looked at Xu Qi and said, "There are many things that only lovers can do. You kiss my lips and caress my breasts, aren't those things that only lovers can do?"

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly, and said weakly, not quite as assertive as he should have.

"This...this is different..."

"How is it different? Isn't it also about my chastity as a woman?"

"..."

"It's because I requested all of these things, and because you're not afraid of taking responsibility after you finish. In fact, it's something you'd be very happy to be responsible for."

"It's because there was an element of me seducing you in those things, and it's because... you always respect me, so you only do what I allow."

Xu Qi looked up and stared at Bronya with some surprise.

The woman gazed at him tenderly, and the love in her eyes made Xu Qi's heart flutter.

"You are always like this, treating everyone who treats you sincerely. Looking at you is like seeing a mirror. Treat others with sincerity and exchange hearts with hearts."

That's why they all like you so much and don't mind that you have several wives... Of course, this is actually thanks to Mei.

indeed……

"To be honest, if it weren't for Mei, I would have done everything I could to get rid of all those women around you. Who would want to share you with them?"

That's true, Xu Qi can understand that too. Love, after all, has a very strong sense of exclusivity... um?

Wait?

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow, looked at Bronya with a puzzled expression, and slowly said.

“Um, Bronya, you just said you wanted to…”

"What's wrong with kicking away all the women next to you?"

"Um...um...so..."

Bronya's rosy cheeks turned to the side as she whispered, "So it means yes... you idiot..."

……

Xu Qi approached step by step, and finally sat down next to Bronya, embracing her.

Bronya.

"Ok?"

"I love you……"

……

Bronya gave a serene smile.

She reached out and hugged Xu Qi, so happy she almost cried...

"Are you together?"

"They're together."

Bronya continued, "Then... you're not allowed to be so mean to me anymore. The way you were angry just now... scared me... scared that you really don't like me anymore..."

"How could that be? You're usually so clever, how come your brain doesn't work when it comes to things like this? I love you, Bronya..."

Bronya smiled, her eyes narrowing slightly. She hugged Xu Qi tightly, then suddenly remembered something and said apologetically, "But...I'm sorry..."

"Ok?"

"I...I'm still not ready...to do that kind of thing. I'm sorry...could you give me a little more time?"

Xu Qi couldn't help but laugh as he gently pinched Bronya's nose.

"What are you thinking? Didn't I already say? We'll talk about it when you're ready. Besides... being with you is the most important thing."

As for the rest, we have plenty of time to resolve them naturally, don't we?

Bronya nodded, blushing.

"Actually, Mei was the same way back then. She prepared for a while before we... did that thing."

"Really?"

"Yeah, haven't you heard about it too? In Hiroshima, on a rainy night, I chased Mei back. It was that night... that I took Mei's virginity."

So that's how it is... How romantic! Mei must have been so happy that day...

Of course, if Mei were to answer now, it would be—she's definitely happy, and it's really great... she's completely overwhelmed.

"Oh dear, it seems that the most worth celebrating today is not the cooperation with the Gold Group, but... I finally won you, I won Bronya's heart."

Bronya said shyly as she gently punched Xu Qi's chest.

"Xu Qi, there's something I want to tell you."

"Ok?"

"Actually, today... is my birthday, August 18th."

"Ugh?"

Xu Qi had indeed overlooked this point, since he had never heard Bronya mention her birthday.

"I am really happy today, but actually I am not happy about the cooperation with the Gold Group, but because of you... I feel more comfortable than ever before with you by my side!"

So… at the dinner table, I actually had a fourth toast to express my gratitude, which I hadn't said yet—thank you for being there, Xu Qi, you are the best birthday gift God has given me.”

……

A deep affection blossomed between the two of them.

The most touching words of love in this world are those spoken in the heat of passion, each one a heartfelt statement.

The two looked at each other, and finally could no longer suppress their impulses—they kissed.

380. This is called reciprocity.

Inside the living room, the two kissed each other, their clothes half-fallen off, about to remove the last layer of protection, when Xu Qi stopped what he was doing on his own.

Bronya moved her lips away.

Those burning eyes now seemed to want to devour Xu Qi. She whispered in Xu Qi's ear, "If I'm not ready, are you really not going to do it?"

Xu Qi narrowed his eyes, and the hand that was originally on Bronya's buttocks suddenly moved.

Bronya panicked and quickly begged for mercy, "No, no, no! I was wrong, please forgive me..."

Xu Qi was helpless.

"So afraid?"

He actually thought this good thing would come to fruition today.

Just now, neither of them was really in their right mind. If something were to happen—I would just rub against them and not go in.

That's pretty much it.

Bronya nodded, seemingly aware that what she was doing... was not quite right.

It's not like we're not officially married or in a relationship. We're all adults, and even a one-night stand wouldn't be a problem. But here you are, making excuses and refusing to cooperate. It's really unreasonable.

Bronya could only look at Xu Qi pitifully and plead in her childish voice, "Anything else is fine, but... but please don't do that, okay? I'm afraid of pain."

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated – How afraid of pain are you?

"It's not that I'm scared, but... I just feel like it's a bit fast. Can we wait a little longer?"

Just like Mei back then, she was a girl who had never even been in a relationship. This was a very likely situation, and Xu Qi's expression immediately turned strange.

"Supervisor...you've never been in a relationship before?"

"What are you saying?" Xu Qi's words displeased Bronya.
