"What's wrong?"
Ye Ming, who had waited at the door for ages without Keqing appearing, returned to the bedroom to ask her.
Keqing closed the message, forced a smile, and waved her phone at Ye Ming, "Sorry, I suddenly remembered there's something at the company I need to take care of. I have to make a few calls to explain, so I can't go down with you. You and Laffey go ahead, I'll come find you after I'm done with the calls."
"Oh, go ahead and make your calls. There's no need to come down again after you're done, just rest at home for a while. Just tell me if there's anything you need, and I'll bring it back for you."
"Okay, thanks."
Absentmindedly, Keqing listed a few items, saw Ye Ming and Laffey out the door, and the moment Ye Ming and Laffey entered the elevator, the smile on her face vanished instantly.
She looked at a message Ganyu had sent her on her phone, stood there for a moment, and then proactively dialed Ganyu's number.
It wasn't long before the call connected.
"Hello? What's going on over there? Didn't we agree that you'd wait until I was ready before you came over? Why are you suddenly coming early?"
Keqing tried hard to keep her voice calm.
"Because Hu Tao discovered something interesting. I think we need to meet up as soon as possible to speed up the process of finding him."
A gentle and refined female voice came from the speaker.
"Huh? W-what is it?"
Keqing felt a little guilty. Could they know that I found Ye Ming?
"It's not convenient to talk about it on the phone. Let's talk about it face-to-face after we get there tomorrow."
Ganyu's voice was gentle.
"What!? Tomorrow!?"
Keqing was startled and her voice suddenly rose.
"That's right, tomorrow. We booked a flight for tonight, and you'll see us tomorrow morning. Isn't that a surprise?"
"Remember to pick us up from the airport tomorrow, I'll send you the specific time later. Oh, I forgot to tell you, remember to prepare an extra room. I'll introduce you to a new friend when we meet tomorrow."
"That's it, I still have work to do, see you tomorrow."
After Ganyu finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Keqing stood there blankly, holding her phone.
Big crisis!
What to do? What should I do tomorrow?
Keqing panicked, her plan was disrupted by a sudden accident, leaving her a little at a loss for what to do.
Don't panic, calm down, calm down, Keqing!
Keqing took a deep breath, trying to calm her flustered mood.
That's right, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Keqing, cheer up!
You've already had a relationship with Ye Ming, you've already become Ye Ming's wife, you've already started living with Ye Ming. With such a big advantage, what can Ganyu and Hu Tao do even if they come?
You have a big advantage, don't panic, there's absolutely no need to be afraid.
Calm down, make a plan like before, and handle it step by step.
Keqing secretly cheered herself on.
Believe in yourself, just believe in yourself, as long as you stay steady, you can win.
Keqing, you're sure to win!
Author's Note on Launch
I was coding while slacking off at work tonight, and I suddenly realized it was Friday. The editor notified me on Monday that it would be launched this Friday, and I almost forgot...
Let's talk about the update plan after the launch.
The author has been working the night shift recently, so the updates will be at odd hours. Currently, the author just got home and will try to write a few more chapters to update around 11:00 AM.
After updating, I'll sleep for a while, continue coding after waking up in the afternoon, and continue updating at night, however many chapters I can write.
After the launch, there will be at least two updates per day as a base. If the results are good, there will be at least three updates per day, and then I'll save up drafts on top of the three updates and add more updates from time to time.
Currently, this book has a total of 25,000 favorites. I'll consider it a success if the initial order is 1,000, and at least three updates per day after the initial order is 2,000.
The book is slice-of-life and heartwarming, there won't be any angst, so you can read it with confidence.

Chapter 61: Please Use Laffey to Your Heart's Content
Ye Ming and Laffey went to the supermarket together, first buying the daily necessities that Keqing needed, and then buying Laffey liquor-filled chocolates and many snacks. Because they bought too many things, Ye Ming could only put the daily necessities and snacks in the car first, and then return to the supermarket to buy ingredients.
"Commander, Commander, there's a party tonight, right?"
While weighing the groceries, Laffey grabbed the corner of Ye Ming's clothes, looked up at Ye Ming with her small face, her big eyes full of anticipation.
Ye Ming was puzzled. "Right, is there anything Laffey wants to eat? Commander can make it specially for Laffey."
Laffey shook her head.
"Laffey isn't picky! Laffey likes anything the Commander makes!"
Saying that, Laffey blinked, acting innocent and cute. "But Commander, if it's a party, you have to buy wine, right? Laffey can help Commander pick out good wine. Laffey used to drink Laffey all the time, so Laffey knows a lot about Laffey."
Even if you act cute, I won't fall for it.
Ye Ming wanted to say that, but the cute little girl blinking her eyes was just too adorable, and he didn't want to disappoint her.
Besides, since it was a welcome banquet, buying some wine was probably a good idea. Considering that everyone present except him was a girl, baijiu was out of the question, and red wine would be just right.
Ye Ming didn't know much about red wine, so if Laffey liked it, letting her choose seemed fine.
"You usually can't find imported red wine like Laffey in regular supermarkets."
Although he didn't know much about red wine, Ye Ming knew some basic common sense. Generally speaking, due to market, channel, and price factors, imported red wines usually have specialized distributors in the country and are rarely sold in ordinary supermarkets.
"So, if Laffey wants to choose Laffey, it's impossible today."
Saying that, noticing the little girl's disappointed expression, Ye Ming changed his tone. "However, if Laffey is interested in other red wines, she can help Commander choose them."
"Aye aye, Commander!"
The little girl was overjoyed and stood at attention, raising her head and chest, giving Ye Ming a salute. "Laffey is the most excellent wine taster. Please command Commander, and use Laffey to your heart's content."
Although she was full of confidence when saluting, when she arrived at the red wine section, looking at the different varieties, brands, and packaging on the shelves, Laffey immediately showed her timidity. She picked up this one to look at for a moment, then picked up that one to look at for a moment. Although she looked quite professional, her confused little eyes revealed the fact that the little girl didn't understand anything.
Ye Ming found it amusing to watch and didn't expose Laffey's pretense, standing aside and letting Laffey choose.
"Laffey, when you were in the Port District, where did you get your wine from?"
Seeing that Laffey had been choosing for a long time without being able to make a decision, Ye Ming started a conversation out of boredom.
"Stole, no, bought it with money from Ming's shop," Laffey quickly corrected herself, "with Tashkent."
Goodness, Laffey is so amazing, she can even steal things from a profiteer's shop?
Ye Ming was shocked.
"Does Laffey even have money to buy wine? Where does Laffey's money come from?"
"The salary Commander gives out," Laffey picked up a bottle of red wine, brought it to her nose, and sniffed it contentedly. "Laffey remembers hearing Enterprise say before that many countries regularly raise a sum of money for the Port District as military expenses, and then the secretary ships of the Port District are responsible for formulating plans and distributing a portion to everyone as wages."
Saying that, Laffey seemed to remember something interesting and laughed.
"Laffey remembers that when Eugen got her salary in the Port District, she never spent it. Laffey thought Eugen liked to save money, but later found out that Eugen's salary was all used to buy strange things like cages, iron chains, handcuffs, and guillotines."
"Ah, this."
Ye Ming felt a chill down his spine and quickly changed the subject. "Then, what did your Enterprise do with her salary?"
Compared to the yandere Prinz Eugen, Ye Ming was more curious about Enterprise.
Although Laffey was Ye Ming's first Oath Ship in chronological order, Laffey was just a little girl after all. Compared to Laffey, Enterprise, the second Oath Ship, was more like the first wife.
"Enterprise?"
Laffey hugged the red wine and thought for a while before saying somewhat uncertainly, "Laffey doesn't seem to have seen her buy anything for herself. Come to think of it, besides buying snacks for everyone, Enterprise's salary seems to have only been used to buy clothes for Commander. Although she bought a lot of Commander's clothes, it seems she never managed to give them to Commander in the end."
Saying that, Laffey's mood became low.
"When will Enterprise arrive?"
"Will everyone in the Port District be able to reunite again?"
