My mobile game wife came knocking.

"Coco will send you the project materials this afternoon. It's break time now, so let's not talk about work."

Ke Qing waved her hand, interrupting Ye Ming: "Work is already annoying enough. Let's talk about something light during our lunch break."

Ke Qing, who has always been a staunch supporter and practitioner of the 996 work schedule, lied against her will.

"Let's talk about games, Ye Ming. When you played Genshin Impact, which city did you like the most, Mondstadt or Liyue Harbor?"

Of course, it's Mondstadt! Anyone who's played Genshin Impact knows the value of Jean's beautiful butt, right? There's also the mature and intellectual Lisa, the poor fortune teller Mona with a very horny body, and most importantly, the little loli Klee.

"Of course it's Liyue Harbor. I think the characters in Liyue Harbor are all people who have their own principles and unique personal charm that is captivating, so I really like Liyue Harbor."

Ye Ming gave his answer without hesitation.

Keqing smiled happily: "What a coincidence, I think the same thing as you. To be honest, if I really had to choose someone from Genshin Impact to be my wife, there's no one in Mondstadt who could beat me. On the other hand, in Liyue, as long as you have Keqing, you can be invincible."

As a girl, shouldn't you choose your husband from a game? Why are you choosing a wife like a boy?

Ye Ming was puzzled, and to be honest, he didn't quite agree with Ke Qing's words.

If I really had to choose, of course I'd want them all. Who would be foolish enough to choose only one wife? And isn't Gan Yu better than Ke Qing?

"Yes, I also think Keqing is great."

What he thought in his heart was one thing, but what he said was another. After all, sitting in front of Ye Ming was his client, who was also a hardcore Keqing fan.

While the two were chatting, the dishes were served. Ye Ming reached out to pour Ke Qing a glass of wine, but Ke Qing didn't give him the chance. The waiter had just opened the bottle and hadn't even put the wine down when Ke Qing eagerly took the bottle from him.

As soon as she got the bottle, Ke Qing poured Ye Ming a full glass, then filled her own glass, put down the bottle, and raised her glass to Ye Ming.

"Wishing us a successful collaboration, cheers!"

After saying that, Ke Qing drank it all in one gulp.

"cheers!"

Ye Ming, who had originally intended to drink slowly, had no choice but to tilt his head back and gulp it down in one go.

Ke Qing, who had been secretly observing Ye Ming, saw this scene and, like a little fox who had successfully stolen a chicken, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, her smile both smug and excited.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Something Bad Happened

Businesses often reminisce about their daily lives in the port area.

From their first meeting until the commander suddenly disappeared, she remembered every detail of her time with him.

That memory is the company's most precious treasure, the pillar that has supported her to this day, and her entire identity as a ship girl.

Although it wasn't exactly a thrilling experience, the presence of the commander made it a treasure that I will never forget.

To this day, Enterprise still remembers the first words she said to the commander: "Enterprise, the second ship of the Yorktown-class, reporting for duty. I will show no mercy or sympathy to the enemy, but will fight with all my might. That is my style."

Although she looked very serious when she said those words and tried her best to appear cool and dashing, she was actually very nervous inside.

After all, he was facing his commander. Regardless, they were the important people he was destined to walk through the second half of his life with.

What kind of person will the commander be? A ruthless and resolute tyrant? A mature and steady older man? A warm and cheerful older brother? A naive and kind younger brother? Or perhaps some other personality?

Enterprise still remembers the nervous feeling she had when she first met the commander.

After spending just a few days together, the company realized that all their previous assumptions were wrong.

Her commander was neither a hero nor a villain, but a terrible person.

When he has nothing to do, he makes the ship girls wear all sorts of strange clothes, often harasses the girls in the port, and shouts loudly to the ship girls that are not in the port, "You are the ship I want the most." But after he gets them, his enthusiasm only lasts for a short time before he focuses his energy on other ship girls that he has not yet obtained.

Knowing full well that ship girls easily fall in love with their commanders, he still blatantly puts them in the secretary ship position to gain their favor. Even if they gain favor, he might not necessarily give them a ring. It's one thing to harass cruisers and capital ships, but he doesn't even spare the destroyer loli and submarine girl, poking them with his fingers all the time.

Even with such a terrible commander, just having him by your side makes you feel at ease and gives you the courage to fight. No matter how dangerous the battle, as long as you can see that reassuring figure when you return to the port, you can feel warmth and happiness.

Enterprise remembers that she was the first capital ship in the port area. She also remembers the surprised and happy expression on the commander's face when he saw her. After that, the commander immediately gave her the best equipment in the port area. Then came a very busy period of sorties, commissions, exercises and the work of the secretary ship. During that time, Enterprise was almost too busy to keep up. But even though she was busy, Enterprise was very happy because it was proof that she was valued by the commander and needed by him.

For ship girls, nothing is happier than being needed by their commander.

Later, however, the company began to worry that the busy work would make her and the commander's relationship become distant. So that day, during a break at work, when the commander once again harassed her with his finger, she mustered up her courage and said, "My wish is to live honestly and sincerely, so I will speak my mind if I have any opinions. If you have any thoughts, please tell me as well."

The consequence of this statement was that the commander harassed her even more frequently.

For a long time, it served as both a secretary ship and a main battle ship. Later, as time went by, the number of main battle ships in the port gradually increased, and the opportunities for the enterprise to launch operations gradually decreased. Eventually, even the opportunities for exercises and commissioned missions disappeared. The only thing it was still doing was the work of a secretary ship.

Sometimes she would express her desire to attack, and when she was being harassed, she would say, "Simply being invincible is meaningless, Commander. But I believe that with you here, I can definitely make the most of my skills. Let's end this battle together."

Even so, there are very few opportunities to launch an attack.

Then one day, when asked what he wanted to do after the war ended, the company mustered up its courage and expressed its thoughts.

"What do you want to do after the war ends? -- Me? I'll probably still stay with you. After all, outside the battlefield, you're the only person I feel safe with. Would you... take me with you?"

This confession, devoid of flowery language or overflowing passion, was simply expressed in a calm tone during a casual afternoon chat.

But for a company that only excels at fighting, this kind of confession is already the best she can do.

When confessing their feelings, only the company itself knows the shyness and trepidation hidden beneath its calm and composed demeanor.

What kind of response will I get? Will I be rejected? Or will I be given a vague answer without a clear response? Or worst of all, will I be rejected?

As she was anxiously lost in thought, she saw the ring—a wedding ring given to her by her beloved commander, a symbol of his willingness to spend his life with her.

My initial anxiety instantly subsided.

And so, she received the wedding ring, put on her wedding dress, and walked down the aisle with her beloved commander. She still remembered what she had said at the wedding: "I have traversed countless battlefields and witnessed countless partings. I carry countless aspirations and wills on my shoulders. Commander, are you ready to bear all of this? —Is that so… Then let’s walk together until the end of our lives."

From that moment on, she completely surrendered herself to the commander. Born only for fighting, she began to believe that even when the war ended, as long as the commander was by her side, she could bravely move forward and find true happiness.

But the peaceful days soon passed. Not long ago, her commander, the lover she had entrusted her life to, her husband, suddenly left the port without warning and disappeared as if he had vanished into thin air.

No longer able to sense the Commander's presence, the port, having lost its flag, quickly crumbled. No one knew the despair in Enterprise's heart. She began to fight again, stronger and more frenzied than ever before, because Enterprise without a Commander had no reason to exist. Since she couldn't find the Commander, she would simply sink into the deep sea and perish in the battle.

Enterprise's hope was rekindled only after she unexpectedly arrived in this world and sensed the Commander's presence.

"Commander, where are you? And what are you doing right now?"

The businessman leaned against the rooftop railing, gazing into the distance towards China, and murmured to himself.

But for some reason, today, the company felt a vague unease, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Business, it's time to go to work, hurry back."

A beautiful woman with blue hair and a gentle, quiet demeanor went up to the rooftop and called out to the company: "Didn't you say you wanted to go to China to find your relatives? After I finish my work here, I'll go to the mainland with you and introduce you to a friend."

"friend?"

"Yes, she's a decisive, hardworking, and reliable person. I believe you two will get along very well. Oh, by the way, her name is Ke Qing."

Chapter Forty: Let me help you go rest for a while.

"cheers!"

After a few drinks, Ye Ming took a breath, and his body began to heat up as the fiery liquor entered his system.

"Don't just drink alcohol. Drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach. Come on, have some food."

With a beaming smile, Ke Qing placed two pieces of food on Ye Ming's plate. "The leek and sea bass and the stir-fried pork kidneys at this restaurant are absolutely amazing. Try them and see if they're delicious."

Unable to refuse the hospitality, Ye Ming took a couple of bites, nodded in satisfaction, and praised, "Hmm, the taste is indeed good. But isn't this restaurant called Cat House Western Restaurant? Why do you sell stir-fries?"

"Perhaps it's because Chinese food sells better."

Ke Qing pointed to the tables next to her, "Look, the people who come here are all eating Chinese food."

Ye Ming looked in the direction Ke Qing pointed and found that the guests at the nearby tables were indeed all eating Chinese food.

"It's quite interesting."

Ye Ming found it amusing. He looked away, took off his suit jacket, picked up two more pieces of fish with his chopsticks, and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt collar as he ate. He wondered, "Why is the air conditioning in this restaurant set so high?"

Ke Qing's lips curled slightly, feigning surprise: "Huh? Really? I think it's alright. Have you had too much to drink?"

"Impossible! It's only been three glasses of wine, how could I have drunk too much?"

Ye Ming retorted. Through years of experience in the workplace, he was well aware of his alcohol tolerance. Although he didn't usually like drinking, he could usually drink about half a jin of baijiu (Chinese liquor) with an alcohol content of around 40% when dealing with work situations. He had only drunk three cups of this small wine cup, so there was no way he could get drunk.

Unless the liquor in Keqingdian has a very high alcohol content.

But if the alcohol content is really high, then if Ye Ming can't drink such a strong liquor, then Ke Qing, being a girl, definitely can't drink it either.

Moreover, from another perspective, the fact that Ye Ming's thoughts are still so clear and organized at this moment proves that he is not drunk, doesn't it?

"By the way, what kind of wine is this? I've never seen it before, and it tastes quite good."

Ye Ming picked up the bottle out of curiosity and looked at it, only to find that he couldn't read the writing on it at all, and didn't know if it was French or some other language.

"I'm not quite sure either. It seems to be a wine imported from France. This is the first time I've ever had it."

Ke Qing said innocently, "Since you think it tastes good, drink more. Anyway, there's cocoa, so you don't have to worry about driving."

As she spoke, Ke Qing enthusiastically pushed the plate containing the stir-fried pork kidneys and the sea bass with chives toward Ye Ming: "The food is quite delicious, have more."

"Thank you, you eat too."

Ye Ming pushed the dish towards Ke Qing, ate a couple of bites of pork kidney, and took a sip of wine. The wine went down his throat and felt like a warm current flowing into his body, making him feel warm and comfortable all over.

Ye Ming unbuttoned another button, let out a soft breath, and glanced around the store before his gaze inexplicably landed on Ke Qing.

Today, Ke Qing is dressed in a silver-gray business suit skirt, looking capable and dignified. Her delicate and fair face looks a little young, and her gorgeous purple hair is draped down her back. She wears beautiful purple contact lenses, and her eyebrows and eyes are exquisite. Her delicate nose and tender red lips complement her dignified and capable attire, giving her a captivating and wonderful charm.

She wore a fitted suit jacket with a V-neck that revealed a white shirt underneath. Her waist was slender, and her chest was unexpectedly full and round. She wore a gray straight skirt, black sheer stockings, and silver stiletto pointed high heels. Her legs were shapely and long, and her charm was amazing. You couldn't take your eyes off her at first glance.

Perhaps sensing Ye Ming's gaze, Ke Qing shyly turned her head away, brushed the hair behind her ear, revealing her long, snow-white neck, and an alluring blush on her delicate skin.

Ke Qing's movements startled Ye Ming, who quickly looked away, feeling his mouth dry. He subconsciously picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

The warmth intensified after the wine entered my stomach.

Ye Ming exhaled, feeling the air he was breathing was scorching hot. He instinctively wanted something cool to eat, so he picked up his chopsticks, but hesitated for a moment.

He dared not eat the pork kidneys and the sea bass with chives. He shook his chopsticks and then simply picked up two pieces of bitter melon.

The bitter melon, which relieves heat and cools the body, cleared his mind immediately, and Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Ke Qing suddenly stood up, bent down, and placed her hand on Ye Ming's forehead to test it.

"Are you alright? Why is your face so red?"

Ke Qing looked concerned, but seemed completely unaware that her V-neck was facing Ye Ming.
