But while you, Keqing, are indeed a standard rich and beautiful woman, besides being handsome, I, Ye Ming, don't resemble a kept man in the slightest.
That's too much, Master Ke.
Ye Ming's mood was complicated.
"That's not it, don't misunderstand."
Keqing looked at Ye Ming and explained very seriously, "Aren't I moving to your place tomorrow? This is my advance payment for accommodation and food expenses. There's no other meaning, so please don't misunderstand."
"Ah, even if you say so, I can't interpret it that way."
Ye Ming looked at Keqing, who was talking nonsense with a straight face, and found it a bit funny. "Then tell me, how much money is in this card?"
"Five thousand yuan," Keqing said softly, lowering her head.
"How much?" Ye Ming didn't believe it at all.
"Fi, five hundred thousand?" Keqing corrected herself in a low voice, her tone uncertain.
"Five hundred thousand?" Ye Ming, who was starting to believe it a little, began to doubt again when he saw Keqing's expression.
"Fi, five million?" Keqing corrected herself again.
"..."
Ye Ming was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing Ye Ming's silence, Keqing assumed that the five million lie hadn't fooled him, so she could only reluctantly correct herself, "Alright, it's fifty million."
"..."
Chapter 47: They Gather Here
"Keqing, you're putting a lot of pressure on me."
Ye Ming was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, his expression complicated.
It was already an incredible thing for girls from the game to come to reality.
If it were girls from Azure, because they were all Ship-Girls, and in the hearts of Ship-Girls, the Commander was the most important person in the world, it was only natural for Ship-Girls to live with the Commander. Only living with the Commander had meaning and brought peace of mind.
Because the relationship between Ship-Girls and the Commander was like that, and because he felt the deep and heavy affection that Laffey had for him, Ye Ming couldn't bring himself to reject the feelings of the Ship-Girls.
Even if it was a bit like being a playboy, if other Ship-Girls came to him in the future, Ye Ming would still try his best to respond to their feelings.
But what about Genshin Impact? How should he put it? In Genshin Impact, the player plays the role of the Traveler, and at the beginning, you have to choose one of the siblings, Aether and Lumine, to play as. As a hardcore player, Ye Ming naturally chose Lumine, interacting with the characters in Genshin Impact as Lumine.
So, the question is, how did Keqing recognize him in this world, and why did she fall in love with him?
And more importantly, according to the game's setting, there don't seem to be many girls in Genshin Impact who have feelings of love for the protagonist and insist on being with him.
Ye Ming didn't understand this point. He had asked Keqing this question, but Keqing's answer was only an incomprehensible "I am Keqing from the game, but also not Keqing from the game."
Ye Ming couldn't understand it, but looking at Keqing's performance, he knew that this girl definitely had a past with him that he didn't know about. Since Keqing didn't want to talk about it, Ye Ming didn't want to force her.
After all, they had already been intimate, and Ye Ming did feel Keqing's affection for him, so there was no need to continue dwelling on the past that Keqing didn't want to talk about. He was willing to try dating Keqing, try living together.
But it must be said that sometimes, Ye Ming did feel a heavy pressure.
The girls from the game, whether it was the little princess Laffey or the other Ship-Girls, whether it was Keqing or the other girls from Genshin Impact who were about to arrive, were all very outstanding girls. With so many outstanding girls gathered around him, even the most carefree person would occasionally feel pressure, right?
"Although I know it's stupid to dwell on these things, sometimes I can't help but wonder, what outstanding qualities do I have that make a girl like you, Keqing, fall for me?"
Of course, he couldn't say such thoughts to the Ship-Girls, because if he did, he would definitely get answers like "Commander is Commander, whether he's outstanding or not, he's the most beloved Commander." But with Keqing, it was okay to confide a little, right?
"Why dwell on such meaningless questions?"
Keqing grabbed Ye Ming's hand and said seriously, "The present and the future are more worthy of attention than the past."
Saying this, Keqing paused and continued, "However, if you really want to know why, I can also tell you very definitely."
"Because I like you."
"Liking is liking, just like the things you used to do for me. Since we've decided to be partners for life, why bother calculating so much between us?"
What exactly did I do for you in the past?
Ye Ming really wanted to ask Keqing this question, but he knew that even if he asked, Keqing would most likely avoid the question.
But...
"Keqing, you misunderstood what I meant."
Yes, the pressure that Ye Ming felt was not the pressure of money, but another kind of psychological pressure.
The source of the pressure came from the question that Ye Ming thought of as soon as he saw the bank card—if I took Keqing's money and spent it on Laffey, would that be considered living off Keqing while secretly, no, openly supporting a mistress?
Thinking about it that way, it feels a bit scummy.
Beep—Beep—
While the two were talking, the taxi had arrived and was honking at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming was embarrassed to delay the driver's time, so he quickly said goodbye to Keqing.
"I'm leaving first. We'll talk about anything else tomorrow."
"Mmm."
Keqing responded, walking up to gently hug Ye Ming. As she embraced him, she lightly kissed his cheek and said softly, "See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Ye Ming got into the car. In the driver's seat, the driver slowly started the engine and drove away from the hotel.
"Brother, you're amazing."
As the car pulled onto the road, the driver looked at Keqing standing at the hotel entrance through the rearview mirror, then back at Ye Ming, and said with admiration in his expression and tone, full of envy for Ye Ming.
"Not bad, I guess."
Ye Ming replied casually. To be honest, having such a beautiful wife like Keqing, even though it was a bit sudden, Ye Ming still felt a little proud inside.
But...
Why did he feel like the driver's gaze was a bit off?
Ye Ming felt that the driver's eyes not only held envy but also another indescribable emotion, if he had to describe it, it was probably very sour and a little bit of disdain?
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, recalling Keqing's hug just now, he reached into his pocket and, sure enough, felt the 50 million yuan bank card.
This…
Ye Ming was speechless.
However, looking at the driver's sour lemon-like disdainful gaze, Ye Ming suddenly sighed heavily, muttering to himself with emotion, "Ah, with this card, I can finally go back and buy my wife some good food."
"!?!"
After a brief shock, the driver's eyes became even more sour.
Ye Ming was in a very happy mood, having seen the reaction he wanted.
The rest of the way back to his rented apartment complex was silent. After getting out of the car, just as he was about to enter the complex, the phone in Ye Ming's pocket suddenly vibrated. Ye Ming took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Sister Wang.
"Someone from Liyue International said you drank too much, are you okay? How did things go today?"
Not bad, I already worked my way to their boss's bed.
"It went well, pretty good."
As soon as the message was sent, he immediately received a reply.
"That's good, thank you for your hard work. Keep up the good work, endure this period of hardship, and you'll have a house and a car, keep it up!"
Not only a house and a car, but also a wife.
Thinking like this, Ye Ming replied with two words: "Got it."
After replying to the message, looking at the phone's critically low battery, Ye Ming quickly quickened his pace, finally managing to open the door lock before the phone battery ran out and entered his home.
The living room was brightly lit. Besides Fu Hua sitting on the sofa and Laffey sleeping on Fu Hua's lap, there was also Yae Sakura and another familiar pink-haired girl.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, except for the sleeping Laffey, the eyes of the other three women all turned to Ye Ming.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
Seemingly sensing Ye Ming's presence, Laffey, who was lying on Fu Hua's lap, also rubbed her eyes and climbed up from Fu Hua's lap.
"Eh? Commander, what's that red thing on your face? Oh, Laffey understands, Commander issued another ring, right?"
Chapter 48 Little Angel Laffey
"Laffey understands, Commander issued another ring, right?"
Seeing the kiss mark on Ye Ming's face, the clever Laffey immediately guessed everything—her Commander had issued another ring.
