Mobile Game Wife Comes to My Door

The basic movements, though normally dry and uninteresting, flowed from the girl with an indescribable grace and elegance, a pleasure to behold.

The chilly morning breeze ruffled the girl's clothes and cherry-blossom hair, but she showed no sign of impatience, her movements precise and unwavering, her amber eyes as calm and deep as a mountain pool.

His footsteps slowed unconsciously as he watched the girl practice her swordsmanship. For a moment, Ye Ming was completely captivated.

"What's wrong?"

Fu Hua, running beside Ye Ming, noticed him stop and looked up in confusion. Seeing his expression, she was taken aback.

"Yezi, you, why are you crying?"

"Crying?"

Startled by Fu Hua's voice, Ye Ming was surprised to find his eyes stinging. He reached up and touched them, finding tears.

"I..."

Ye Ming opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He looked again at the cherry-haired girl practicing her swings. Her posture and movements were still elegant and beautiful, but the inexplicable stirring and nostalgia he'd felt at first were gone. The morning breeze blew past, and it was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"I just thought she looked a little familiar,"

Ye Ming said casually, his gaze still fixed on the cherry-haired girl practicing her swordsmanship.

Just familiar?

A moment ago, in a daze, Ye Ming had felt an impulse to practice the basic sword swings with the girl.

It was just an impulse, but it was vague, like an illusion, yet as ordinary and natural as eating and drinking. It was as if, in the past, he and the girl had repeated the same practice countless times.

The feeling was fleeting. Ye Ming had never been exposed to Japanese kendo. In the past, he would have thought he was just attracted to the girl's beauty and temperament and was imagining things. But since meeting Laffey, he'd been thinking about things more than before.

"That cherry-haired girl,"

Ye Ming pointed to the cherry-haired girl practicing her swings in the open space. "Isn't that the girl who was in the living room last night? Who is she? What's her name?"

Following Ye Ming's gesture, Fu Hua looked over and was again surprised to see the cherry-haired girl practicing her swings.

With her keen intuition, she hadn't been able to sense the girl's presence during their run. Even now, at first glance, she could see a girl practicing her swings, but as soon as she abandoned her vision, Fu Hua's senses told her that the open space in front of her was still empty, as if the girl practicing her sword was not a physical being, but just a phantom reflection.

This was the transcendent realm of Clear Mirror Still Water. A swordsman in this realm, even if they were physically weak and without any transcendent power, would be treated with caution by anyone as long as they had a sword in their hand.

This person...

Fu Hua, realizing the cherry-haired girl's swordsmanship for the first time, was both surprised and taken aback. She was silent for a long time before finally introducing her: "She's a friend of Yae Sakura. She's currently living with Yae Sakura temporarily. As for her name, I think I remember it being Okita Souji."

"Okita Souji?"

Ye Ming was startled and immediately thought of the three Servants who had disappeared from his Chaldea last night—Okita Souji, Jeanne Alter, and Scáthach.

Could it be her?

Ye Ming looked at the cherry-haired girl's delicate features and had a faint premonition that the girl practicing her sword was likely his Chaldea's Miss Okita.

But...

Why would a girl from the game give me a sense of familiarity, as if we had spent a long time together?

Ye Ming was puzzled.

When he was with Laffey just now, he hadn't felt any inexplicable stirrings. It was only during the time he spent with Laffey that he clearly felt the little girl's heavy feelings for him.

Ye Ming was puzzled. He stared at Okita Souji practicing her sword. The girl seemed to notice him and Fu Hua standing by the side of the road, but she didn't come over to say hello. She continued to practice her swings.

Seeing this, Ye Ming didn't feel comfortable going up to chat directly, so he could only wait until he got off work in the evening to find an opportunity to test the waters.

After finishing his morning run with Fu Hua, he went back to take a shower, had some breakfast, and then took the subway to work.

He went to the company to clock in first. Then, amidst Sister Wang's solicitousness—"You just need to maintain your relationship with Liyue International during this time. You don't need to clock in here"—Ye Ming was pushed out of the company again by Sister Wang, who sent her driver to take Ye Ming to the Liyue International office building.

As soon as he got out of the car, Ye Ming saw Keqing's little secretary, Zhou Keke, standing foolishly downstairs, playing with her phone, looking bored.

"Secretary Zhou?"

Ye Ming hesitated and greeted her.

"Ah? M-Mr. Ye!?"

Seeing Ye Ming, Zhou Keke, who had been boredly playing with her phone, shuddered in fright, like a student who'd been playing with their phone in class only to look up and see the death stare of the homeroom teacher. Even her voice trembled: "M-Ms. Ke, Keqing told me to wait for you here. I, I've been waiting for half an hour. I was just too bored, so..."

"I understand, I understand. We're all just wage slaves. I won't tell your boss on you."

Ye Ming smiled and comforted the frightened girl, sighing inwardly.

Just from the girl's reaction, Ye Ming knew that she definitely knew about him and Keqing.

"Take me up."

Following Zhou Keke to the top floor, Ye Ming pushed open the door to the office. Behind the desk, Keqing, wearing a silver business suit, was propping her chin with her hands, looking at him with a smile.

Ye Ming closed the door and exhaled softly.

The legendary office romance begins today.

Chapter 56: Keqing's Office Romance Plan

Although she was a newly graduated rookie secretary with little work experience, she at least had the basic sense of perception.

Zhou Keke took one look at the way those two were looking at each other in the office and wisely slipped out, carefully closing the door behind her.

What's going to happen in there?

The moment that thought popped into her head, her mind was flooded with images of a wild love scene, making Zhou Keke's cheeks flush red.

Zhou Keke, you're such a pervert! How could the always-so-perfect and amazing CEO Keqing possibly do something like that in the office!

Her head had been filled with strange scenarios lately. She definitely needed to cut back on Korean comics before they rotted her brain.

Zhou Keke made a mental note and returned to her workstation.

The boss could flirt on company time, but she, a wage slave, still had to work hard.

Inside the office.

Ye Ming glanced around and noticed a new desk and chair set up diagonally across from Keqing's desk. There was also a desktop computer with a huge curved screen, a cool-looking tower next to the monitor, and all the necessary peripherals. But judging by the style, it looked more like something for gaming than for office work.

Seeing Ye Ming's gaze on the computer, Keqing got up from her seat, walked behind him with a smile, and guided him to sit down at the desk. Then, she pressed the power button, moved behind the chair, rested her hands on the back, and rested her chin on Ye Ming's shoulder.

"I remember you used to love playing games, so I had Coco find someone to build a top-of-the-line computer. Do you like it? If not, I can have them change it."

Ye Ming looked at the reflection in the screen. The girl's chin was resting on his shoulder, their faces so close they were almost touching. A few strands of her hair tickled his cheek as she spoke. This scene didn't feel like an office at all; it was more like a couple flirting in their bedroom at home.

"I haven't played games in a long time."

Looking at the game icons already downloaded on the screen, Ye Ming felt a pang of nostalgia. "When I first graduated, I was too busy with work and didn't have the time or money to play. After I quit and came to this city, I had the time, but I didn't have the same energy as when I first graduated. I still played games at first, but later, I mostly just watched other people's streams and read fanfiction."

As he said this, Ye Ming turned his head slightly, looked at Keqing's delicate profile, and smiled. "Besides, girls usually don't want their boyfriends to be addicted to games, right?"

"Not boyfriend, husband."

Keqing corrected Ye Ming's mistake very seriously. "It's okay to be addicted to games. As long as I can be with you, even if I'm just watching you play, I'll feel safe and happy."

Keqing boldly spoke the love phrases she had collected online: "I'm already very rich. You don't have to work if you don't want to. I'm yours, and my money is yours too, of course. More than diligence or ambition, I hope you can do things that interest you."

"Because..."

Keqing's tone was gentle. "If you're happy, I'm happy. If you're happy, I'm happy."

"Wouldn't that make me a kept man?" Ye Ming chuckled. "Do you want to keep me that badly?"

"How could it be keeping you?"

Keqing retorted with conviction, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today. I came to this world because of you, and because of my connection with you, I can stay in this world, freely using power that doesn't belong to this world. That's how Liyue International came to be. If you really want to talk about it, this all belongs to you."

"If you feel awkward..."

Keqing tilted her head, thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up as she came up with a good idea.

"Then I'll transfer Liyue International to your name, give you all my money, and not keep a single penny for myself. If I need money in the future, I'll ask you for it. Wouldn't that make you the one keeping me?"

Wow, that was a hardcore solution.

Ye Ming was amused by Keqing's words and laughed, "They say men with money go bad. Aren't you afraid I'll take the money and find a pretty secretary?"

"I guess there's nothing I can do about that."

Keqing hugged Ye Ming from behind the chair, rested her head on his shoulder, and said in a resentful tone, "Because I love you, because I can't leave you, even if you find a pretty secretary with big boobs, even if you really do something in the office, I can only pretend I don't know, hide outside the office door listening to you, lean against the door, cover my mouth, and silently shed tears, right?"

What kind of palace drama was this?

Ye Ming was shocked. This Keqing was different from the Keqing in the game.

Feeling that things would get even stranger if he continued talking, Ye Ming didn't dare to go on and quickly changed the subject. "Now that we're together, is there still a need to continue this project?"

This project was originally Keqing's way of getting close to Ye Ming. Now that they were together, Ye Ming naturally didn't want his wife to waste money on it.

"Of course we have to continue."

How could Keqing pass up this opportunity for a grand office romance? She retorted without hesitation, then explained, "This project did have your involvement at the beginning, but the cooperation is normal cooperation. There's no question of concessions or losses. The project is one of the company's strategic plans. The cooperation is a win-win. There's no reason to end it."
