Mobile Game Wives Come Knocking

ps: I was thinking of pulling an all-nighter to update and try to get on the popularity chart, but reality is so cruel. Updating didn't do anything. I'm withered.

Chapter 26: Liyue International

"Bridal Attire Keqing? Did Genshin Impact release a skin system?"

Ye Ming was a little surprised. When he quit the game, Hu Tao had just been released, and he hadn't even heard rumors of a skin system.

"No, I just wanted to make it myself."

The girl walked shoulder to shoulder with Ye Ming, sandwiching Laffey in between, making them look like a family of three out for a stroll. "Don't you think Keqing is such a beautiful girl, she'd look amazing in a wedding dress? At least much better than Ningguang or Ganyu."

Actually, I think Ganyu would look amazing in a wedding dress.

Although he thought so, considering the girl next to him was a Keqing fan, and he would need her to cover for him when buying Laffey's Bridal Attire later, Ye Ming could only nod in agreement. "I also think Keqing would look beautiful in a wedding dress. But, if we're being honest, little girls like Klee and Qiqi would also look adorable in wedding dresses."

"Klee? Qiqi?"

The girl glanced at Ye Ming, pretending to be surprised. "I didn't expect you to be a lolicon. That's a three-year starting sentence, you know."

Ye Ming smiled. "There aren't that many lolicons in the world. Most people just see little girls as daughters and want to dress them up to be pretty and cute. Isn't that normal?"

"Oh? Is that your reason for making Laffey a Bridal Attire cosplay? Do you also treat Laffey like a daughter?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I've always treated Laffey as a cute little girl. It has nothing to do with being a daughter."

Ye Ming retorted seriously. Laffey was his Oath Ship. Even just saying he treated her like a daughter was weird. If he treated her as a junior, then if Laffey really grew up in the future, it wouldn't be strange to treat her as a true Oath Ship.

"I get it, I get it!" The girl nodded, looking like she understood everything without him needing to say more, and smiled. "No one is a lolicon; it's just that the person they like happens to be a loli."

Ye Ming smiled and didn't argue. The girl was just joking, and he wouldn't take such a joke seriously.

However, it was strange. He and the girl had only met twice, but there wasn't much awkwardness or estrangement. Chatting was quite relaxed and natural. Of course, having common interests was a reason, but it was more about the girl herself.

How should he put it? Ye Ming always felt that the girl next to him was not only beautiful but also seemed to have a special temperament. If he had to describe it, it was that Ye Ming felt at a glance that the girl had an extraordinary background, a bit like a well-bred young lady from a noble family in a novel. But when chatting, the girl was particularly cheerful and straightforward, making people relax unconsciously and feel happy.

In summary, the girl made it particularly easy for people to like her.

Especially yesterday on the subway when the girl accidentally played her phone out loud and immediately turned it off embarrassedly, and then apologized seriously when Ye Ming looked over. You could see from this kind of small thing that she was a girl with very good upbringing and quality.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"

Ye Ming took the initiative to ask the girl's name.

The girl heard this, looked at Ye Ming, and smiled. "You might not believe it, but my name is Keqing."

"Ah?"

Hearing the girl's answer, the first thing that came to Ye Ming's mind was the girl who claimed to be Yae Sakura that he met in the morning. Both girls were very beautiful and wore colored contact lenses that were the same color as the original characters' hair. To be honest, for a moment, Ye Ming even suspected that Keqing and Yae Sakura were also girls from the mobile games he had played, and now they had come to the real world like Laffey.

But then, Ye Ming shook his head secretly and dismissed this absurd idea.

When Laffey came to this world, his Azure Lane account completely disappeared, but when he downloaded Azure Lane in the supermarket last night, he also downloaded Honkai Impact 3rd. The fact proved that his Honkai Impact 3rd account was still there and had not mysteriously disappeared like Azure Lane.

But in this world, are there really so many character fans who change their names to that extent? Although he wasn't sure what conditions were required to change a name, generally speaking, changing it to the name of a character in a game shouldn't be a simple matter, right?

Perhaps, the girl just didn't want to reveal her real name.

"Hello, Keqing. My name is Ye Ming."

Ye Ming formally greeted her, not asking any further questions.

Although the girl's cheerful and straightforward demeanor was somewhat contradictory to her act of hiding her name, everyone had their own little secrets. After all, they were just strangers who had met twice, and Ye Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with the girl's behavior, let alone bother to get to the bottom of it.

"My name is indeed Keqing."

The girl seemed to see through Ye Ming's thoughts. After thinking for a while, she took out a card from her bag and handed it to Ye Ming.

Ye Ming took it and saw that it was actually the girl's business card.

On it, the company column was written as Liyue International, the position column was project manager, and the name column was actually written as Keqing.

Ye Ming was shocked. Of course, he wasn't surprised that the girl was a project manager at such a young age. Unlike the state-owned enterprise where Ye Ming originally worked, in today's society, everyone knows that the positions are often inflated for external purposes. Some companies can give an intern the title of manager. Like the position written on Ye Ming's business card, sales manager, he didn't have anyone under him. It just looked good to show off.

Ye Ming was surprised that the girl was really named Keqing, and even more surprised by the name of the company, Liyue International. Keqing, Liyue, made it hard for anyone who had played Genshin Impact not to think of Liyue Harbor in the game.

"This Liyue International of yours..."

"A few families opened it together. Most of the capital is overseas. It's considered a foreign-funded company. We're currently preparing to develop the domestic market, so I took the initiative to transfer myself over. There will be new projects soon."

Keqing seemed to be a talkative girl. Her cheerful smile never stopped when she spoke to Ye Ming.

"Then you're amazing."

Ye Ming sincerely praised.

"It's okay. I just work a little harder and like..."

Halfway through her words, Keqing suddenly paused and stopped talking.

"Like what?" Ye Ming asked casually.

"No, nothing."

Keqing said vaguely.

She originally wanted to say she liked 997 (working 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week), but before she could say it, she realized that saying so might affect Ye Ming's perception of her and reduce the little bit of goodwill she had worked so hard to cultivate. Therefore, she simply stopped talking.

"The bridal shop is here."

Keqing changed the subject, pointing to the bridal shop not far ahead.

"Mmm~"

Laffey, who had been looking down and playing on her phone, perked up instantly at the word "bridal shop." She stopped playing with her phone, grabbed Ye Ming's hand with her small hand, and looked at the various styles of wedding dresses behind the transparent glass of the bridal shop, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

Ye Ming appeared calm on the surface, but he was also looking forward to it.

He had seen and touched Laffey in a wedding dress in the game, but he never had the chance in reality.

How cute would little Laffey be in a wedding dress?

By the way, although he was a little embarrassed, Ye Ming also wanted to see Keqing's Bridal Attire.

Chapter 27: Wedding Photos, Enterprise, and Liyue

"Welcome!"

With the welcoming voice of the sales lady, Ye Ming, Laffey, and Keqing entered the bridal shop. After looking around, there were indeed no wedding dresses for little girls, so they could only be custom-made.

"Excuse me, do you offer custom-made wedding dresses here?"

Ye Ming, who had expected this situation, didn't hesitate and asked the sales lady directly.

The sales lady smiled and said, "Yes, we are a professional bridal shop with a complete range of wedding dresses, guaranteed quality, and affordable prices. We cooperate with many professional wedding dress designers. As long as you have a need, we can generally satisfy you."

"Then..."

Ye Ming hesitated slightly and pulled Laffey in front of him, "Can you customize a wedding dress for a little girl here?"

Although Ye Ming had deliberately lowered his voice, it was still a bit obvious in the quiet bridal shop. As soon as Ye Ming's voice fell, several shop assistants in the store looked at Ye Ming and Laffey, and the sales lady's smile froze on her face.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

Laffey, as one of the parties involved, looked at the different gazes of the surrounding shop assistants, and then at the sales lady's stiff expression. Her big eyes were filled with confusion.

After all, in the past, when Laffey was in the port area, it was normal for little girls to receive rings from the Commander and become Oath Ships. As for wedding dresses, the bridal shops in the port area not only supported customization, but also had many finished wedding dresses that fit the size of little girls.

Therefore, Laffey couldn't understand the reaction of the shop assistants and the fact that all the wedding dresses in the bridal shop were for adults.

Ye Ming, as another party involved, faced the awkward and somewhat dignified atmosphere. Although he was a little nervous in his heart, his expression was unusually calm.

He had expected this situation, so he naturally continued, "We need a professional wedding dress cosplay outfit. Because we are not comfortable ordering online, we wanted to come to a physical store to take a look. Can you customize a wedding dress that fits a little girl's figure?"

As he said this, Ye Ming turned to Keqing, "What about you? Are you buying a ready-made Bridal Attire or having it custom-made?"

"Custom-made, there are no ready-made ones that meet my requirements," Keqing replied with a smile.

After listening to the two, the sales lady breathed a sigh of relief, and her stiff expression slowly became natural: "So you want to order cosplay outfits, no problem, we have professional designers here, whether it is an anime-style Bridal Attire or a little girl's wedding dress, we support customization."

"Of course, if you have your own design drawings, you can also directly give them to us for customization."

"I don't have a design drawing."

Keqing said first. She only had the idea temporarily after hearing that Ye Ming wanted to buy a wedding dress, so of course she couldn't have any design drawings, "Just use yours, can we communicate with the designer and make some requests during the design process?"

"Of course."

The sales lady smiled, "I wonder what style and material of wedding dress you guests need? As for designers, we have several here..."

Next was the communication time between Keqing and the sales lady. Ye Ming, who knew nothing about wedding dresses, felt a headache listening to it, so he simply went to the sofa at the door to rest. Little Laffey was even more confused and bored, and began to doze off.

Half an hour later, the issues of wedding dress style, material selection, and so on were finally communicated. The sales lady took out a few samples. Ye Ming let Laffey choose one she liked, measured the data, and confirmed the price deposit and delivery time with the sales lady. After waiting for Keqing to choose, the purchase of the wedding dress finally came to an end.

However, just when Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, the dedicated sales lady spoke again: "Everyone, we currently have a promotion in our store. If a couple orders together, we can give away a set of wedding photos for free. Although you two are buying cosplay outfits, and both are wedding dresses, I can help you with the operation and give you a discount according to the couple's order."

As she said this, the sales lady looked at Laffey again: "This little girl can also take photos together."

Ye Ming was a little embarrassed and waved his hand to refuse.
