Sincere Sisterly Love

Jean found it a little strange.

She came from the ancient knightly Gunnhildr family. The blood of that knightly family came to her through her mother, Frederica, while her father was Simon Page, a renowned adventurer across the continent.

Later, her father and mother went their separate ways. Jean, who had lived with her mother since childhood, inherited her mother's surname and had always been called Jean Gunnhildr. But after arriving in this unfamiliar world, in order to avoid being associated with the game Genshin Impact, Jean changed her surname to her father's, forged a background for herself, and usually went by Page.

Why did people here look at such an ordinary surname—one that was even famous throughout Teyvat—so strangely?

Jean did not understand.

Still, such a trivial matter was not worth wasting energy on.

Her work schedule had long been packed full. She had no time to pay attention to trivial matters.

Jean knew that only by working diligently, striving to make Mond International stronger and larger, and spreading Mond International's logo across every piece of land would she have a better chance of finding her beloved with the company's help.

Ye Ming, I will definitely find you!

Jean secretly swore, lowering her head over her desk and beginning another day of overtime work.

Enterprise sat in the car heading toward the villa.

Keqing and Ganyu, seated in the front, were chatting casually. Beside her, the mischievous Hu Tao pressed herself against the window, curiously taking in the scenery outside. Enterprise looked at Keqing's back and fell into deep thought.

Even now, Enterprise could still smell the faint yet unforgettable scent of the Commander on Keqing.

Did she know the Commander? What was her relationship with him? Why did she carry the Commander's scent?

A tempest rose in Enterprise's heart. She had the urge to seize Keqing and force her to reveal the Commander's whereabouts, but reason told her that would not be wise. It could very well put the Commander in danger.

Ship-Girls were spirits awakened by the Commander. While deployed, their rigging gave them power surpassing ordinary warships, but once it was retracted, any Ship-Girl could become an ordinary girl if she wished. No disguise was needed. It was an innate ability, the instinct of every Ship-Girl.

Therefore, Enterprise was certain that Ganyu and Keqing did not know she was a Ship-Girl. But conversely, Enterprise knew that Ganyu and Keqing were far from ordinary people.

No one could deceive a Ship-Girl, whose instincts were incredibly sharp when it came to sensing human emotions.

A mysterious girl with extraordinary power disguising herself as an ordinary person, carrying the Commander's scent—this troublesome situation had to be handled carefully, lest it bring danger to the Commander.

Although she wished she could immediately fly to the side of the one she loved, as the White Eagle War God who had experienced countless battles and achieved brilliant victories, Enterprise remained sufficiently calm.

She did not believe Ganyu and Keqing were evil people, but when it concerned the Commander, she still had to be cautious.

After thinking for a moment, Enterprise temporarily gave up on asking Keqing for help and using Keqing's power to search for the Commander.

She decided to get close to Keqing, then secretly follow her once Keqing let down her guard, to see whether she could find information about the Commander this way.

Enterprise knew this was not honorable behavior. It could even be called somewhat despicable. But for the Commander, Enterprise was willing to do anything. Even if it meant turning the war god who symbolized White Eagle's glory into a demon god that stirred up war, even if it meant falling into a deep-sea Siren, so long as it was the Commander's order, she would carry it out without hesitation.

As long as the Commander was safe.

That was what Enterprise thought.

She sat in the back seat, watching Keqing in the driver's seat. The girl drove while chatting with Ganyu, her body relaxed

and her expression natural, as though nothing were amiss.

Could following her lead to the Commander?

Enterprise could not be sure.

But this was already the best method Enterprise could think of for the moment.

Enterprise lowered her head and looked at her left hand.

On the ring finger of her left hand was an exquisite diamond ring.

This was her wedding ring, personally placed on her finger by her lover, her husband, her Commander.

She had always treasured the wedding ring dearly, but how far away was the man who had given it to her now?

Commander, please wait just a little longer. Enterprise will definitely find you and return to your side.

Sincere Sisterly Love

Keqing had originally prepared herself to be questioned about Ye Ming the moment she met Ganyu and Hu Tao. But because Enterprise, an outsider, was present, Ganyu never mentioned Ye Ming during the entire trip. Keqing let out a huge sigh of relief, gaining more time to think, prepare, and settle her emotions.

Along the way, Keqing drove while casually chatting with Ganyu about the company. From time to time, she also spoke to Enterprise and Hu Tao in the back seat. About forty minutes later, they arrived at the villa Keqing had bought in advance. She used her phone to remotely open the gates and slowly drove into the courtyard.

After parking the car in the garage, Keqing led the group into the living room on the first floor of the villa.

"I only bought this house recently. Housing prices in City H have started rising again lately, so I paid a slight premium—sixty million. But the surroundings are quite nice, and it's close to supermarkets and shopping plazas, so it's very convenient."

Seeing companions she had not met in a long time, Keqing was very enthusiastic.

"I considered that one day you would all come, so as soon as I got it, I had people renovate it again. The furniture and appliances were all delivered two days ago, so it is ready to move into."

Enterprise, who had never met Keqing before, was fine with Keqing constantly talking about unimportant things. But Ganyu, who understood Keqing's personality, looked at her with some confusion.

The Keqing from before had never been this talkative.

"All right, Keqing. After sitting on a plane all night, I think Enterprise and Hu Tao are tired. Take them to their bedrooms to rest first. We can talk about everything else later."

"Mm, all right."

Keqing answered, then looked at Enterprise. "Enterprise, would you prefer to stay upstairs or downstairs?"

Enterprise replied gently, "I am not very particular about where I stay. Upstairs or downstairs is fine."

"Then stay upstairs. The bedrooms I arranged for Hu Tao and Ganyu are upstairs too, so you'll be right next to each other."

Keqing smiled at Enterprise, then looked at Hu Tao, who was wandering all around the living room and seemingly plotting some strange idea. "Hu Tao, come along. I'll show you your bedroom!"

Then she smiled at Enterprise again. "Come with me."

With that, she took the lead up the stairs.

Once they reached the second floor, she arranged bedrooms for Enterprise, Hu Tao, and Ganyu, allowing them to put down their luggage. Then Keqing asked Enterprise whether she wanted to rest first or eat something. After Enterprise, who looked exhausted, said she needed to sleep for a while, Keqing left Enterprise's bedroom and casually closed the door behind her.

Once Keqing left the bedroom, Enterprise gave a tired yawn. Without even taking off her clothes, she removed her shoes, lay directly on the bed, and closed her eyes, looking as though she had fallen asleep.

But Enterprise's ears were doing their utmost to gather every sound they could catch.

Also on the second floor, in the bedroom diagonally opposite Enterprise's, Ganyu sat at the edge of the bed, Keqing sat in a chair, and Hu Tao sat on the desk, boredly swinging her legs. The three gathered in a circle.

"Did you find any news about him?"

The first to speak impatiently was not Ganyu, but Hu Tao, who had previously been curiously looking around as though she had not felt the slightest urgency.

Keqing glanced at Hu Tao in surprise. After thinking for a moment, she answered according to the plan she had already prepared. "He..."

"Wait."

Ganyu interrupted Keqing. She pointed toward Enterprise's bedroom and gave Keqing a meaningful look. "Should we change rooms before talking?"

Keqing shook her head. "Don't worry. I had every bedroom in the villa soundproofed in advance. Forget being separated by a hallway—even if someone were pressed against the door eavesdropping right now, they would not hear a single sound."

"Huh? That's pretty impressive, Keqing. You even thought of something like that. Just what I'd expect from you!"

Hu Tao generously praised Keqing.

"Not really. I only had it soundproofed because someone else suggested it."

Keqing looked calm on the surface, but inwardly, she felt faintly guilty.

When the villa had first been renovated, she truly had not thought about soundproofing. But later, when she was gathering information and material online in preparation for taking down Ye Ming, Keqing, having researched quite a bit, suddenly realized that if everyone lived together in the future, privacy was something that had to be considered.

After all, everyone in Liyue was a powerful person with keen ears and sharp eyes, wielding extraordinary power. With their hearing, it would be far too easy to catch something. Usually, no one would do that or even disdain to do so, but if it involved Ye Ming, that was another matter.

At the very least, Keqing felt that if Ye Ming and Ganyu slept in the same bedroom, she would definitely be curious.

Judging others by herself, Keqing felt Hu Tao and Ganyu would surely be the same. Even Qiqi, who seemed adorably blank and quiet, might have thoughts of eavesdropping.

Keqing did not want to give her Liyue companions a live broadcast whenever she was with Ye Ming, so she immediately found a professional construction team and had every bedroom soundproofed.

"All right, hurry up and tell us. Did you find any news about him?"

Keqing had only been silent for a few seconds when Hu Tao urged her impatiently.

Compared to the anxious Hu Tao, Ganyu sitting on the bed appeared much calmer. Yet her beautiful purple eyes, fixed unblinkingly on Keqing, still revealed the anticipation and tension in her heart.

Being watched by her companions like this made Keqing feel slightly guilty.

But after hesitating for a moment, Keqing still secretly gritted her teeth. Following the plan she had settled on, she shook her head and said dejectedly, "Sorry. Huaxia's population is simply too large. Although I have found quite a few people with the same name so far, but..."

Keqing deliberately paused before saying guiltily, "Up to now, I still have not found any definite information related to him."

"What?"

Hu Tao looked disappointed upon hearing this and complained unhappily, "If I'd known, I would have stuffed him into a coffin and buried him in a graveyard before he left, then kept his soul by my side. Without a body, let's see if he could still disappear on his own without even saying goodbye!"

As one of the Liyue Qixing and the current director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao had the ability to see the souls of the dead.

Keqing fell silent. Although Hu Tao truly had the ability to do something like that, Keqing knew Hu Tao was merely speaking in anger. The Liyue companions might resent Ye Ming's sudden disappearance, but no matter what, none of them would truly hurt him.

Looking at Hu Tao and Ganyu's disappointed expressions, intense guilt rose in Keqing's heart.

But what else could she do?

They had agreed to send her first. Once she found Ye Ming, she would notify everyone, and then they would each rely on their own abilities and compete fairly.

When Keqing had first arrived in Huaxia, she had indeed intended to compete fairly. But the moment she saw Ye Ming, she lost control. Unable to suppress the feelings in her heart, she acted impulsively, hid it from her companions, and ran off on her own.
