"Yaqing, you guys kept it a secret for too long. I was completely stunned when Boss Kevin knelt down and took out the ring."

When everyone returned to the courtyard after a satisfying meal, it was already late at night. After taking off her shoes, Pardo collapsed onto the sofa as if she had fallen asleep, still muttering complaints.

"This was all Eden's suggestion," Yaqing said, holding Mobius's hand.

Eden laughed and said, "I just said it was May's birthday today, who knew you and Kevin would make such a big fuss and steal the spotlight from the concert."

Faced with Eden's joking teasing, Kevin and Mei were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't have time to reply. Yaqing's expression remained unchanged. "Of course, Kevin must have screamed quite a bit for that fireworks show... hmm."

Yaqing raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't..." Kevin instinctively wanted to refute, but Yaqing's expression confirmed it. "Yes! Yes, I did."

Su understood instantly.

It must be that Kevin has been given something by Yaqing again.

"Go to sleep!"

Having already changed into her pajamas Little Knowledge Shi ran upstairs.

Glancing at the clock on the living room wall, it was already two in the morning. No one planned to chat any longer, so they washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

That night, Yaqing enjoyed the same treatment Kevin had once received.

I spent a sleepless night.

It wasn't until early morning, when Yaqing, with dark circles under his eyes, heard the door next door seem to have opened, that he gradually fell asleep. But he didn't sleep for long before the alarm clock woke him up again.

Yaqing wanted nothing more than to smash the alarm clock.

I slowly got out of bed, washed up after waking up, changed out of my dinosaur pajamas, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Kevin with a warm and welcoming expression.

"Take it easy, Kevin."

Although the words are short, they contain a great deal of information.

Kevin suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Last night was absolutely crazy.

"Staying up all night is definitely not good for your health," Su said as she came out.

Although Kosma lived on the same floor, didn't speak, his flushed face spoke volumes.

Kevin awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

Yaqing sighed. If she hadn't called a certain young couple in advance and asked them to come to the company, she definitely wouldn't have gotten up so early today.

"Yaqing, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Elysia was eating a steamed bun, looked at Yaqing's dark circles in surprise.

Is it obvious?

"A little."

Yaqing sat down next to Mobius. Breakfast was prepared by Kalpas, which was still white porridge with steamed buns.

"What happened last night?" Mobius asked in a low voice, though she had some guesses in her mind, she still asked.

"It's too noisy." Yaqing also spoke softly, not making the matter clear, but it was enough to confirm Mobius's guess.

"I'm late! I'm late! You old fogey, why didn't you wake me up?!"

Little Knowledge Shi rushed downstairs, and next to her was Fu Hua was equally anxious.

Little Knowledge hadn't even buttoned her shirt properly. When she saw Yaqing at the dining table, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought I was late. Yaqing, you didn't go to the company either?"

Fu Hua ignored Little Knowledge, picked up a few steamed buns, and rushed out the door.

"Old fogey, what's the rush? Yaqing didn't go either."

Little Knowledge seemed unaware as he sat down next to Vill-V.

At this table, apart from Kevin, it seems that no one else will have their wages docked for being late.

However, Kevin has never had his salary deducted for being late.

"Little Knowledge, Yaqing won't have his salary or attendance bonus deducted for being late, but you will."

Kevin's kind reminder.

Little Knowledge, who was about to pick up her bowl to drink porridge, paused. She turned around and saw that Fu Hua was nowhere to be seen. Realizing what was happening, she grabbed a few steamed buns and rushed out the door.

"You old fogey, you didn't call me again!"

Little Knowledge was dissatisfied.

"Alright, Little Knowledge, I'll talk to Salome and we won't deduct your pay today. Come to the company with me right away."

Hearing Yaqing speak, Little Knowledge was already at the door putting on her shoes, ran back to the dining table and excitedly hugged Yaqing, "Hooray! Yaqing, you're so good! You told the old man not to call me, and we didn't call her either! Let her go to the company by herself."

"Alright, let's sit down and eat first."

Although Little Knowledge was a bit young, she was tall and slender and an adult. However, seeing Little Knowledge and Yaqing's interaction, Mobius found that he couldn't feel a single bit of jealousy.

Could it be that, in his eyes, Little Knowledge and Griseo are the same?

Mobius couldn't believe his own speculation and carefully examined Little Knowledge.

Little Knowledge had practiced martial arts since childhood, noticed Mobius's gaze. He looked bewildered and confused, but then broke into a big smile.

Mobius believed his own speculation.

"I'm stuffed!"

Elysia gently stroked her slightly swollen belly.

Mobius was surprised.

"You ate more than twenty xiaolongbao by yourself?"

Vill-V was also astonished by Elysia's appetite.

"I'm growing, you know~" Elysia covered her cheeks with her hands.

"No wonder she's a pink fat lady," Mobius remarked.

"Hey! Professor Mobius!"

Elysia put her hands on her hips.

Breakfast ended amidst banter. Yaqing took Mobius's hand and had Little Knowledge follow, while Kevin shamelessly followed along. It was highly likely that Mebius wouldn't be going to the company today, and he didn't want to drive himself.

We arrived at the World Serpent Company building.

Mobius got off the train.

"Wait a moment."

Yaqing called out.

Mobius and Kevin stopped in their tracks and turned around in confusion.

Mobius reacted quickly, walked skillfully to the car, bent down, and gently touched Yaqing's lips.

Wow!

The innocent Little Knowledge covered his eyes with both hands, but there was a large gap between his fingers.

"Be careful on the road, and remember to pick me up tonight."

Mobius pinched Yaqing's cheek.

Kevin was somewhat envious.

This way of getting along between couples is what he envies the most. Mei is too rational, Kevin is too slow to warm up to love, which means that the two of them rarely show this sweet way in front of outsiders.

When Yaqing arrived at the company, she made a point of greeting Salome.

Salome didn't care about Little Knowledge's lateness, and said, "Anna and Chen Tianwu are already waiting for you in the conference room."

"Um."

Yaqing patted Little Knowledge on the shoulder.

"I'm going to work now!" Little Knowledge said, pulling her shoulder bag and taking the elevator back to the dubbing department floor.

"Let's let Hua's lateness go for now."

Yaqing easily used his power to make things convenient for others, without worrying at all whether other employees would be dissatisfied. He never worried about such things.

"If you want Fu Hua to be isolated by the employees, then you can do it this way."

Salome reminded us.

Little Knowledge came with Yaqing, which could be interpreted as going out with the president to meet with business partners. However, Fu Hua couldn't find an excuse, and other employees saw that Fu Hua was late and hadn't been punished.

Resentment towards the company, disregard for company rules, and isolation of Fu Hua are all very likely to occur.

Yaqing understood.

"Then let it be."

Salome nodded.

Yaqing and Salome arrived at the conference room on the top floor.

Upon seeing Yaqing enter, the young couple who were chatting couldn't help but stand up. Dressed in a white dress, Yaqing exuded an air of princess-like elegance. Anna greeted him, "Uncle."

"Sit down, why are you all standing up?" Yaqing said with a smile, "Is this your online boyfriend?"

When Yaqing first met Chen Tianwu, he didn't feel familiar with him. It wasn't that he looked familiar, but rather that he felt Chen Tianwu and Kosma were somewhat similar in temperament.

Wearing a black coat over a black t-shirt, paired with black pants and black shoes, she was dressed entirely in black, with dark circles under her eyes, looking like she hadn't slept.

"Um... hello."

Chen Tianwu didn't know how to address Yaqing.

"Uncle, did you call Tianwu and me over here today because of some news from Central Europe?" Anna thought that Yaqing had suddenly called them over because her mother had some news to tell her.

"It has nothing to do with Froglay, I have something to ask you."

Upon hearing Yaqing's words, the young couple were stunned.

Chen Tianwu and Anna did not believe they were qualified to have Yaqing entrust them with tasks, after all, one was a programmer at World Serpent Company and the other was a junior employee at the Schicksal branch.

"I think you've already noticed that the last member of World Serpent to appear, Night Owl, is using Tianwu's voice. I'm thinking that the next movie might use your image, so I need to discuss it with you beforehand."

Yaqing's words greatly excited Chen Tianwu.

As a die-hard fan of the Honkai series, who even used a wall in his home to display Honkai series figurines, Chen Tianwu was momentarily stunned when he heard that he would actually appear in the Honkai series.

"Really... really?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I have called you all here today? Although the next movie won't be released in theaters, it will still be considered a movie."

Yaqing waved his hand.

"And I promise you, you will be the male and female leads in the next movie."

Whether it will be released in theaters or not is no longer important to them; when they hear the words "male and female lead," their hearts are filled with joy.

"Uncle, I love you so much!" Anna, contrary to her usual reserved demeanor, hugged Yaqing's neck with both hands.

Anna then excitedly grabbed Chen Tianwu's arm and exclaimed, "Tianwu, did you hear that? We're going to appear in the Honkai series, and we'll be the main characters!"

"I heard you, Anna."

Chen Tianwu's face remained calm, but his voice trembled with excitement.

So, do you agree?
