Ye Ming was very grateful to Yae Sakura. Now that the conversation had reached this point, he remembered his encounter during his morning run. With a thought, he continued, "I heard Fu Hua say that you also live with a friend named Okita Souji. I was wondering if she'd be free tonight. If she is, why not invite her over? The more the merrier."
"I..."
Yae Sakura instinctively wanted to refuse, but she felt unwilling to do so. She looked at Keqing's enthusiastic smile, then at Ye Ming's earnest invitation. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll go ask Souji. If she's free, we'll come over tonight."
"Great! I'll go buy groceries soon and prepare a delicious meal. I'll let you all taste my cooking tonight."
Ye Ming was very happy.
This dinner would not only be a way to thank Yae Sakura for taking care of Laffey, but also an opportunity to test whether Okita Souji was the Okita Souji from Chaldea. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
In addition, Keqing had just arrived on the continent and didn't have many friends. He could use this dinner to introduce her to a couple more. He could also take care of the friendship between Fu Hua and Yae Sakura. All in all, the dinner would definitely be a win-win situation.
Right, he had to send Fu Hua a message in advance to ask if she would be working overtime tonight and when she would be back.
After seeing Yae Sakura out, Ye Ming took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Hua.
City H, Mond International Branch.
Inside the tall office building, in the conference room on the top floor, after the meeting ended, Fu Hua, dressed in a professional suit, took a look at the figure sitting upright at the head of the conference table while organizing the meeting minutes.
It was a very beautiful young woman.
Her grey-purple eyes were serious and focused. The tips of her slightly curly golden hair were tied into a neat ponytail. Her pretty face and meticulously groomed silver-grey suit gave her the appearance of a noble knight princess from a novel.
This young woman was the actual controller of Mond International, Jean Gunnhildr, a noble lady rumored to be from a mysterious and ancient aristocratic family in Europe.
"Fu Hua, are the records organized?"
Jean asked.
"Yes, they are."
Fu Hua placed the organized meeting minutes on the desk in front of Jean. "Today's work plan has been completed ahead of schedule. Do you need me to move some of tomorrow's work to today? - Buzz~"
Before Fu Hua could finish speaking, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Thinking it was a work message, Fu Hua took out her phone. Seeing that it was a message from Ye Ming, she was slightly stunned, her expression complex.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing Fu Hua's expression, Jean asked curiously.
"It's nothing." Fu Hua put away her phone and shook her head. "A friend sent me a message."
"A friend?"
Seeing Fu Hua's complex expression, Jean was thoughtful.
Is it someone she likes?
Thinking this, Jean didn't ask.
"Since today's work is already done, then you can leave work early."
Jean gave Fu Hua a half-day off.
I hope everything goes well with the person you like, and that you become a couple.
Jean sent Fu Hua her heartfelt blessings.
But...
Where is the person I like now?
I've been searching for so long with no news. In this vast world, will we ever meet again?
I miss you so much, Ye Ming.
Chapter 60: Ganyu's Surprise Attack, Keqing's Certain Victory!
Ye Ming took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Hua, quickly receiving a reply.
"I'm off this afternoon, I'll be back soon."
Ye Ming was a little surprised and asked, "Did you ask for leave? It's not good to ask for leave after only working for two days, is it?"
"No, I just finished my work for today. The boss saw you sent me a message and gave me a half-day off."
Unlike ordinary girls, Fu Hua's messages were mostly pure text, concise and to the point. She rarely used emoticons or kaomoji, and even her profile picture was a simple blue sky and white clouds.
"That's great, your boss is really nice."
Ye Ming sincerely praised. These days, there weren't many bosses willing to give their employees time off. Although he didn't know how young or what Keqing's boss looked like, based on this kindness alone, Ye Ming thought she must be an excellent and good woman.
"I also invited your friend Yae Sakura and Yae Sakura's friend Okita Souji. I'll go out to buy groceries later, you just rest at home. I'll cook when I get back and we'll all eat together."
Ye Ming sent another message to Fu Hua, who responded with a simple "Okay."
Putting away his phone, Ye Ming helped Keqing put away her luggage, placed her toiletries in the bathroom, and then returned to the bedroom with Keqing. Keqing put the clothes from her suitcase into the closet, while Ye Ming helped Keqing take out a new quilt and spread it on the bed.
Laffey also helped sensibly, but when the two were making the bed together, the sleepy little Laffey suddenly realized a problem.
"Commander, will you be sleeping with Sister Keqing from now on?"
The little girl lay on the made bed, her jewel-like, rich wine-red eyes fixed on Ye Ming.
"Mm."
Ye Ming nodded in acknowledgement, his expression unchanged, very calm. "Your sister Keqing is the Commander's wife, it's perfectly normal for a married couple to sleep together."
Hearing this, Laffey was a little unhappy and asked Ye Ming again, "What about Laffey? Laffey is also the Commander's wife. Does the Commander dislike Laffey and doesn't want to sleep with Laffey?"
Before Laffey finished speaking, Keqing, who was putting clothes in the closet, suddenly stiffened. After a moment, she slowly turned her head, looked at Laffey, then at Ye Ming, her face full of disbelief. "You..."
"What are you imagining? Can't you be so dirty-minded!? Can't you be a little pure?"
Ye Ming's heart skipped a beat, but his face wore an expression of anger and disappointment after being misunderstood by someone he trusted. He rebuked Keqing, "What kind of person do you take me for? We're going to live together from now on. With our relationship, don't you even have this much trust in me!?"
"You've disappointed me too much, Keqing!"
"Ah, this, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else, no, I mean, of course I believe you, I, I didn't overthink it."
Seeing the hint of disappointment in Ye Ming's expression, Keqing knew she had misunderstood and quickly apologized.
After apologizing to Ye Ming, she didn't forget to apologize to Laffey, "Laffey, I'm sorry, it's all sister's fault, sister is sorry to you."
?
Looking at Keqing bowing her head in apology, Laffey tilted her head, a big question mark floating above her head.
Why apologize?
Laffey didn't understand, but noticing the guilt on Keqing's face, the kind Laffey still comforted Keqing, "Sister Keqing doesn't need to apologize, Laffey doesn't think sister Keqing said anything wrong."
"Thank you, Laffey."
Keqing was touched by the little girl's generosity and kindness, and secretly vowed to cherish Laffey in the future.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He originally wanted to quickly skip this topic and go out to buy groceries, but thinking of Laffey's pouting and slightly unhappy appearance just now, Ye Ming felt a little distressed.
After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately didn't want to make Laffey upset, Ye Ming promised, "In the future, if Laffey wants to sleep with the Commander, she can also stay here, and your sister Keqing and I will sleep with Laffey."
"Really?"
Laffey opened her eyes wide in surprise, staring at Ye Ming, and after receiving a positive response, a happy smile appeared.
"Laffey is so happy."
However, this excitement only lasted for a short minute. Laffey seemed to think of something again and shook her head, "Never mind, Laffey thinks that if Sister Fu Hua sleeps alone at night, she'll feel very pitiful. Laffey should sleep with Sister Fu Hua."
Although her appearance is that of a cute little girl, Laffey is more sensible than many adults.
Ye Ming was very proud, this was his Laffey.
"Okay, the bed is made, does Laffey want to go downstairs to buy things with the Commander? The Commander can buy Laffey's favorite chocolate liqueur candies."
Ye Ming decided to give Laffey a reward.
"Laffey wants to go!"
Laffey was very happy.
"Okay, let's all go together!"
Ye Ming made the bed, stood up, turned his head to look at Keqing, "Have you put your clothes away? Let's go downstairs to buy groceries together, and also buy some toiletries you didn't bring."
"Mm."
Keqing nodded, closed the closet, stood up, and felt quite happy.
It's finally starting, the happy cohabitation life.
Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—
Just as Keqing was about to go out with Ye Ming, the phone in her handbag, which she had placed on the bedside table, suddenly vibrated.
Keqing opened her handbag, took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and casually glanced at the text message, but after seeing the content of the message, she was stunned.
