Mobile Game Wife Comes Knocking

"Sure." Fu Hua agreed, glancing at Laffey on the bed. "And this child is?"

This child is Laffey, my Oath Ship, my wife. Cute, isn't she?

Though Ye Ming occasionally felt the urge to show her off to others, he wasn't brainless enough to say that to Fu Hua.

"This child is Laffey, the little sister of a friend of mine. My friend had an urgent matter and had to return to their home country temporarily, so Laffey is staying with me for now."

Ye Ming lied without changing his expression, then, without waiting for Fu Hua to ask more, he left the bedroom.

"I'm going to wash my face first. Wait for me a moment."

"Okay."

Fu Hua responded, standing still in place. Only after the sound of running water came from the bathroom did she slowly walk to the bedside, looking at Laffey, whose head was buried in the pillow, only a few strands of white hair visible.

The little girl didn't move, her breathing steady, seemingly unaware of Fu Hua's gaze.

Fu Hua stood by the bed with a calm expression for a while, then suddenly strode to the window and pulled open the curtains.

The warm morning sunlight illuminated the bedroom through the curtains, revealing a clear sky and rows of apartment buildings outside. Nothing else.

Fu Hua's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly toward the ground below the window, and the corner of her mouth lifted slightly.

She turned back to look at Laffey, still sleeping soundly on the bed, thought for a moment, then closed the curtains again and returned to her original spot.

A few minutes later, Ye Ming, having finished washing up, came to get Fu Hua.

"I'm done. Let's go downstairs and eat."

"No rush on eating." Fu Hua shook her head. "Before we eat, there's something I want to ask your opinion on."

Ye Ming was taken aback. He looked at Fu Hua's expression and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Your mom already mentioned it to you on WeChat yesterday, didn't she? About us."

Fu Hua's expression was calm, as if she were casually bringing up an extremely ordinary matter. "Let me be direct. We grew up together, and I know you very well. If there's someone who can walk through life with me in the future, rationally speaking, I think you're the most suitable. Emotionally speaking, I would choose you, and only you."

"If your feelings for me are the same as mine for you, I've already prepared my ID, photos, and proof that we're not blood-related. As long as you want, we can go get our marriage certificate anytime."

"If you don't have those feelings for me right now, I won't give up. I'll work hard to make you like me, to become the person you'd love. So..."

"Ye Zi, can you give me a chance to pursue you?"

At their first reunion after two years, the girl named Fu Hua threw a straight ball—straighter than straight.

Ye Ming was stunned.

PS: Received the news about signing the contract. Just one chapter today. I'll rest early and adjust my update schedule. Starting tomorrow, I'll guarantee at least two stable chapters every night.

Chapter 14: Victory Is Assured!

It's her!?

Is she Fu Hua or the Red Oriole Immortal?

Outside the window, Yae Sakura recognized Fu Hua's appearance and widened her eyes in shock.

From the very first day she inexplicably arrived in this world, Yae Sakura had already been here for three months. During this time, aside from silently guarding Ye Ming, she had also basically figured out the common knowledge of this world, and even managed to sort out her identity issues, diving headfirst into the game Honkai Impact 3rd under her real name.

In the game, Valkyries like Yae Sakura were the main force resisting the Honkai and saving the world, but in this world, there were no Honkai Beasts or traces of any other supernatural power. If not for the fact that her own power could still be used, Yae Sakura might have suspected that her memory was faulty.

But reality was that her power was still there, her memory was perfectly clear, and most importantly, the person she loved was also in this world.

Although Ye Ming seemed to have lost his past memories and become an ordinary person without supernatural power, that familiar face, that tremor deep in her soul, made Yae Sakura absolutely certain—Ye Ming was her beloved.

Yes, Yae Sakura loved Ye Ming.

Hundreds of years ago, in the Warring States era, those ordinary yet warm days in Yae Village of Shinano were the happiest time of Yae Sakura's life. It was Ye Ming who helped her find herself again, who warmed her heart that was nearly corroded by the Honkai, who gave her the courage to live.

Of course, it wasn't just Ye Ming. In Yae Sakura's heart, Kallen was also a very important friend, but that was all she could be. Although Yae Sakura felt that Kallen's feelings for her might not be merely friendship, she had no intention of reciprocating those feelings. Her heart was small—there was only room for one person, and that was Ye Ming.

All along, Yae Sakura had believed she was the only Valkyrie from the Honkai World to come to this world. As long as she advanced steadily, slowly finding opportunities to get close to Ye Ming and raise his affection, she would eventually conquer his heart and become his wife.

She had plenty of confidence in her own charm.

But reality was always full of surprises.

Two months ago, Yae Sakura discovered the sudden appearance of Okita Souji. Yesterday, she also noticed the purple-haired girl who deliberately found an excuse to talk to Ye Ming on the subway. Especially after last night's conversation with Okita Souji, confirming her feelings for Ye Ming, Yae Sakura felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

She wanted to abandon her original plan, recklessly reveal herself to Ye Ming, and launch a direct offensive against him. But the recent online drama about Captains and Valkyries made her hesitate. She was afraid that Ye Ming, without his memories, would develop a rift with her, afraid that other women would take advantage of the gap.

But now, another Valkyrie of the Honkai, the Red Oriole Immortal who had guarded Shenzhou for a thousand years, the famously proper and studious Fu Hua, had suddenly barged into her beloved's bedroom, acting as if she and her beloved were as close as could be, and directly proposed!

And judging by her words, Fu Hua was actually Ye Ming's childhood sweetheart, who had grown up with him, and even had the support of Ye Ming's mother!

A thunderbolt struck from a clear sky, leaving Yae Sakura completely stunned.

Why? Why did it turn out like this?

I'm still warming up at the starting line, and you've not only bribed the referee but already reached the finish line, ready to lift the trophy? That's way too unfair!

Damn it!

Yae Sakura bit her lip hard, wanting nothing more than to rush in, shield Ye Ming behind her, draw her blade, and fight this despicable woman for three hundred rounds.

She glanced to the side. Good grief, Okita Souji's reaction was even more obvious. Her pretty face was pale with rage, her full chest heaving violently, as if she might cough up blood at any second.

This was a far cry from the image of the swordsman with unfathomable composure from just moments ago.

For some reason, seeing Okita Souji like this actually made Yae Sakura feel inexplicably relieved.

"Ye Zi, could you give me a chance to pursue you?"

Fu Hua controlled her speaking pace, uttering these words in as calm a tone as possible, yet with unmistakable seriousness.

The moment these words left her mouth, Fu Hua keenly noticed Ye Ming's stunned expression, and also caught two abruptly sharpened breaths from outside the window.

Fu Hua's surface remained composed, but inwardly she was somewhat anxious.

She admitted that this move involved an element of gambling, but she was confident that the odds were heavily in her favor—Ye Ming would not reject her confession!

This confidence came not only from her identity as Ye Ming's childhood friend, but also from the wisdom accumulated over a long, long life.

Indeed, although Fu Hua was Ye Ming's childhood friend, her true identity was one of the eight strongest warriors of humanity from the previous civilization era of the Honkai World, the first successful subject of the super-variant factor experiment. She had once guarded Shenzhou for over a thousand years as the Red Oriole Immortal, and later, upon sensing Ye Ming's existence, joined the Valkyrie ranks, becoming his Valkyrie.

After arriving in this world, Fu Hua used the Key of God: Feather of Cleansing to influence the memories of those around her, accompanying Ye Ming as his childhood friend as they grew up together, establishing an immensely advantageous position from the very start!

However, while the childhood friend advantage was significant, being too close often made it hard to spark romantic feelings. So Fu Hua deliberately used the excuse of graduate studies to separate from Ye Ming for two years, planning to make a stunning reappearance with a new image after that time, spark romance during their cohabitation, and set them on the path to marriage.

But now, sensing the sudden appearance of Yae Sakura and the unidentified swordswoman beside her, Fu Hua immediately changed her strategy and threw a straight pitch—as direct as it could possibly be!

With that one pitch thrown, Fu Hua had already foreseen the outcome.

Ye Ming would absolutely not reject her!

Fu Hua understood Ye Ming's personality better than anyone. If the student-era Ye Ming still harbored some of the youthful fantasies typical of passionate young men, then after a few years of workplace experience, his mindset had matured considerably.

Fu Hua knew that Ye Ming had no desire for a grand, earth-shattering romance, nor would he chase after love at first sight. Although Ye Ming wasn't in love with her, Fu Hua believed he did have feelings for her.

With those feelings, plus the help of Ye Ming's mother, combined with her own beauty and understanding of Ye Ming, Fu Hua believed that no matter how hard-hearted Ye Ming was, he wouldn't outright reject her. At the very least, she could get a chance to try dating.

Once the relationship began, the subsequent developments would all fall under her control.

Fu Hua was brimming with confidence.

For the one she loved, even a rigid, upright, and noble immortal wouldn't mind bending the rules a little.

In this race, she was sure to win!

Chapter 15: Bigamy

"Ye Zi, could you give me a chance to pursue you?"

Hearing these words, Ye Ming stood frozen on the spot.

He never imagined that on the very first day of their reunion after so long, Fu Hua would confess to him so directly.

Completely off guard, he looked at Fu Hua, his mouth slightly open, momentarily at a loss for words.

Was this an April Fools' joke?

Sorry, I didn't catch that—what just happened?

Sorry, I'm a construction worker with no emotions; women only slow down my concrete-pouring speed.

Ye Ming had ten thousand ways to lighten the mood, countless methods to brush it off ambiguously, but he wouldn't do that.

He gazed at Fu Hua's face. The girl who had confessed wore a calm expression and spoke in a steady tone. But now, as she waited for his response, though her expression remained composed, the slight curling of her fingers betrayed her inner tension.

Ye Ming knew Fu Hua. He could tell that she was serious.

Since it was a serious confession, he couldn't brush it off—he had to respond with equal seriousness.

So, what exactly were his feelings for Fu Hua?

Ye Ming silently asked himself, recalling his past with Fu Hua.

As a child, Fu Hua was a woman of few words, possessing a maturity beyond her years. Most of the time, she would follow Ye Ming around, but she rarely joined in his wild antics. She only stepped in when other kids ganged up on him, knocking one of them out with a single punch to protect him.
