My mobile game wife came knocking.

"Hmm~ because drinking alcohol makes you sleep better, and you feel very comfortable when you wake up, light and airy, like you're flying on a cloud, very happy."

Laffey nestled on Ye Ming's shoulder, her little face gently rubbing against his cheek. "Laffey loves the Commander the most. Next time, Commander, let's drink together, sleep together, and happily fly to the clouds together."

"Hmm~ Laffey wants to share all her happiness with the Commander."

Ye Ming fell silent.

It's impossible to be angry with such a cute and considerate child like Laffey.

and……

Ship girls are, after all, extraordinary spirits; they don't necessarily have to be like ordinary people, right?

Lafite is so lovely, it's okay for her to drink a little red wine, right?

As Laffey's favorite commander, he can't just scare the little girl with a stern face, can he?

Ye Ming quickly came up with countless reasons for himself, but in the end, he could only gently stroke Raffi's hair and say helplessly, "Alright, hurry up and get up, wash up and eat, or the food will get cold."

"Laffey loves the Commander the most!"

Upon hearing Ye Ming's words, the little girl's dazed state vanished instantly. Raffi kissed Ye Ming's cheek forcefully, then jumped onto her crib and dashed to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Ye Ming was left alone, touching the side of his cheek where the little girl had kissed him, a helpless smile on his face.

Well, although I looked helpless on the surface, I was actually a little bit happy inside.

In short, Ye Ming tidied up the messy bedroom before leaving the room.

In the restaurant, Lafite and Fu Hua were already eating together. Ye Ming washed his hands, sat down next to Lafite, took a steamed bun, and noticed that Fu Hua was constantly tapping on her phone.

What game?

Ye Ming asked casually.

Fu Hua shook his head: "I wasn't playing games. I was talking to the company's HR manager and preparing for my onboarding tomorrow."

"Join the company."

This was Fu Hua's first job after graduation. Ye Ming thought for a moment and asked with some curiosity, "What kind of job is it? What's the pay like?"

"The annual salary for the general manager's secretary will be discussed in an interview with the general manager after you start work tomorrow. There are also company stock options as a reward, but the details will also be discussed in person."

Fu Hua answered decisively, without any intention of hiding anything. After speaking, she seemed to remember something and quickly added, "The general manager is a woman."

"We'll discuss compensation after you start working?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming frowned: "Why is this different from the normal procedure? What company is this?"

“Monde International, I’ve already checked it out. It’s a European company with strong capital. They just started planning to enter the mainland market this year. The company is very legitimate, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

"Monde International?"

Ye Ming vaguely felt that the company's name was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with it.

hum~

Before Ye Ming could think much about it, his phone vibrated twice in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a message from his boss, Sister Wang.

"Ye Ming, the company has taken on a big project. They want me to find someone who is good at both technology and sales to handle communication between the two sides. I recommended you right away. Come to work early tomorrow. I have some things to tell you. Do a good job. If you do a good job on this project, I guarantee I'll give you a huge bonus that will shock you. If you want, you can buy a house right away!"

It was clear that Sister Wang was very excited; she even jokingly said she was going to buy a house right away.

Ye Ming certainly wouldn't refuse an opportunity to make money. He typed a few lines and sent them to express his determination before putting away his phone.

"What's wrong?" Fu Hua asked him.

Ye Ming swallowed the bun in his mouth and smiled: "There's a big project coming up. I think I can make a lot of money after it's done."

"That's good."

Fu Hua was also very happy and handed Ye Ming a cup of soy milk: "Here, eat well these next few days, take good care of yourself, get back in shape, and do your job well!"

"Keep it up!" Raffi also cheered Ye Ming on.

"Ah."

Ye Ming took a deep breath, "For Lafite, I will also put in my best effort and do my best!"

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Heinous Commander

Today is the weekend, and tomorrow is Monday. Ye Ming has to go to work, and Fu Hua also has to report for her new job. So, a very serious problem is now in front of Ye Ming.

What to do with Lafite?

Ye Ming's company is a very small private enterprise. Because Ye Ming has good professional skills and experience working in state-owned enterprises, and his business skills are also quite good, he is able to live a relatively easy life in a small company with fewer rules. In addition, he does both technical work and business work, so his working hours are flexible and he doesn't have to stay in the company all the time.

Normally, Ye Ming wouldn't have needed to worry about Lafite.

But it won't work next week.

Because of the external projects he had to take on, Ye Ming clearly couldn't continue to maintain flexible working hours, nor could he come back to see Lafite during work hours.

Should we leave Raffi alone at home?

To be honest, Ye Ming was a little worried. It wasn't that he was worried about Raffi getting hurt, but mainly because Raffi was already lazy enough. She was always in a daze and might even fall asleep while walking. If Raffi was left alone at home, wouldn't she be able to sleep for twenty-four hours a day?

Besides, even if a little girl can sleep a lot, she'll still feel lonely sometimes if she's home alone.

It would be great if there were a destroyer loli or a submarine little girl, then the little girls could play together.

If all else fails, Little Garga will do too. Although it's the famous USS Saratoga, a White Eagle aircraft carrier, Little Garga would definitely get along well with the little girls.

However, the best option is a mature capital ship or a young female cruiser, preferably a marriage ship, like Illustrious or Fat Dinosaur, which can play with Little Laffey during the day and with Ye Ming at night.

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly excited.

However, at present, this is just unrealistic wishful thinking.

What should we do about Lafite?

After listening to Ye Ming's troubles, Fu Hua thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you have my friend take care of Raffi during the day?"

"your friend?"

Ye Ming looked at Fu Hua in surprise, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

And I'm not at ease with it either.

How could I entrust my beloved and adorable Laffey to someone I don't even know?

"You've met my friend before."

Fu Hua smiled and said, "Do you remember the girl named Yae Sakura that we met when we were buying breakfast the day before yesterday? The friend I'm talking about is her."

"Yae Sakura? She..."

Fu Hua's words only made Ye Ming more uneasy. After all, that girl who was a hardcore chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) character fanatic didn't seem very reliable no matter how you looked at it.

"Actually, Yae Sakura is a really nice person. She's a friend I met during my graduate studies. She's academically excellent, sincere, and kind. Although she's a fan of the character, she's actually a very reliable person and also loves children. Unlike us, Yae Sakura comes from a wealthy family and is a very rich woman. She doesn't need to work and just stays home all day."

Fu Hua lied without batting an eye: "Because she doesn't have many friends besides me, Yae Sakura is quite lonely since she doesn't have much to do. If Laffey were to keep her company during the day, I believe she would be very happy and would treat Laffey well."

"I see..."

After hearing Fu Hua's words, Ye Ming hesitated.

To be honest, Yae Sakura did leave a good impression on Ye Ming yesterday, but even if she was good, it wouldn't be enough for Ye Ming to entrust Laffey to someone he had only met twice. Ye Ming trusted Fu Hua.

Given Fu Hua's personality, the fact that she's willing to recommend Yae Sakura like this is enough to show that Yae Sakura is a reliable person.

But ultimately, it all depends on what his little princess, Raffi, thinks.

"What does Lafite think?"

Ye Ming asked Lafite.

Who is Yae Sakura?

Lafite, who was lounging lazily on the sofa watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, asked without turning his head.

"Do you remember the girl who talked to me when we went downstairs to buy breakfast the day before yesterday? That's Yae Sakura."

Ye Ming explained.

"Oh."

Lafite suddenly realized.

"Laffey remembers now, that Yae Sakura sister also came to the Commander's bedroom last night!"

"What?"

Ye Ming was completely confused.

Fu Hua broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, "Ah, it's like this, I came back too late yesterday, and Yae Sakura was worried about me, so she insisted on bringing me back. After I got back, she stayed at my house with me for a while."

"Oh, I see."

Ye Ming suddenly realized that he had slept on the table last night and there didn't seem to be anything embarrassing about it, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"So, what does Raffi think?"

Ye Ming sat down next to Lafite: "You must say whatever you're thinking directly. Don't keep it to yourself, or I'll be unhappy."

"Sister Yae Sakura also wants to be the Commander's marriage ship, right? Will the Commander give out rings?" Laffey rolled over and lay on Ye Ming's lap, looking at Ye Ming and asking very seriously.

Ye Ming was bewildered: "What nonsense is this? I've only met her twice, how could she give me a ring?"

"Oh, Raffi understands."

Lafite seemed to understand something.

Ship girls are spirits born from the will of their commanders, embodying the awakener's yearning for beauty, and possessing the most sensitive sensitivity to human emotions.

Lies and pretense cannot hide from the eyes of ship girls. Every ship girl can feel the truth of feelings most deeply and directly.

Therefore, Raffi could tell that Ye Ming was telling the truth, but at the same time, she could also see that Yae Sakura's gaze towards Ye Ming, despite being deliberately disguised, was ultimately the gaze of someone who likes another.

So, in Laffey's view, the situation was quite clear—Yae Sakura liked Ye Ming, but the Commander had no intention of giving Yae Sakura a ring.

Isn't this just like many of the ship girls in the port area before?

Even though he knew that the commander was the most special person in the hearts of the ship girls, and that the ship girls could easily fall in love with their commander, he still put the ship girls in the position of secretary ship to increase the time they spent together and openly try to win their favor. But after the ship girls fell in love with him, he didn't give them a ring.

Take the light cruiser St. Louis, for example. She served as the secretary ship for a long time, received an expensive sports car from the commander, and was given many clothes. She was ordered by the commander to sit in the sports car all day wearing revealing gifts and enduring his harassment. She was told things like "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore" and "I'm so sorry," but she still didn't get the ring in the end.
