My mobile game wife came knocking.

"Actually, back in Mondstadt, my relationship with my sister wasn't very good either."

"When I was little, my parents divorced. My older sister stayed with my mother and inherited the surname of the knight family Gunnhildr. She took on the responsibility of protecting Mondstadt and became the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Mondstadt. As for me, I stayed with my father and inherited his surname, Page. I became an ordinary priest and part-time idol. I can't compare to my outstanding older sister at all."

"For various reasons, my sister and I didn't even recognize each other while we were in Mondstadt. We just maintained a working relationship. At that time, I thought I would never have the chance to recognize my sister and call her 'sister' again, until..."

As she spoke, Barbara seemed to be recalling the past, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused: "Until one day, he appeared."

"He was young, strong, and handsome, yet he seemed to possess a kind of serene composure, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of life. He did many things for Teyvat and Mondstadt, and many girls fell in love with him and pursued him, but he always kept his distance from each girl, treating beauty as nothing."

"My sister and I were able to open up to each other and recognize each other because of him. It is because of his efforts that my sister and I have the relationship we have now."

At this point, Barbara suddenly sighed.

Where is that person now?

Could it be that he was born in China, as he said when he was in Mondstadt?

It's been so long, sister, have you found any news about him?

Thinking about all this, Barbara's mood immediately plummeted.

Noticing Barbara's disappointed expression, Jeanne Alter suddenly realized and asked, "What? Barbara, do you like that person?"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

Barbara blushed slightly, neither admitting nor objecting.

"Do I even need to say it? You wear your heart on your sleeve. But Barbara, I remember your sister Jean has someone she likes, right? Could it be that you two like the same person?"

Upon hearing this, Barbara blushed slightly, lowered her head, and softly hummed in agreement.

Black Jeanne looked surprised: "It really is! Are you and your sister going to marry that man together? That's outrageous! I really don't know what charm that bastard has that has you so infatuated."

“He’s not a jerk at all,” Barbara retorted. “Speaking of which, I’m also very curious about what kind of charm a man could have that could make a girl as outstanding as Jeanne Alter fall so deeply in love with you, that he could disappear without a word and still make you search for him and want to be with him.”

"Who, who said I like him!?"

Black Jeanne's face flushed red instantly, and her voice rose uncontrollably: "I don't like him at all, and I don't want to be with him forever. The reason I went to find him was just to ask him why he left without saying goodbye, and to give him a good punch when we met, to teach him a lesson he would never forget."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Barbara smiled at Jeanne Alter and said, "No matter what, I still wish you happiness."

"Someone like me deserves to stay in hell; how could I possibly find happiness?"

Black Jeanne muttered something, then sincerely apologized: "But thank you for your blessing. I also wish you find your love soon and that you two will be happily married."

"Thank you."

Barbara's face lit up with a bright smile.

"By the way, Jeanne Alter, have you prepared your dress for the Mondstadt party this week?"

"A formal dress?" Jeanne Alter shook her head. "No, I'm a bodyguard. At the party, all I need to do is ensure everyone's safety. Why bother preparing something as troublesome as a formal dress?"

"You're a bodyguard, but you're also my good friend. Please come to the party with me, I beg you."

As she said this, Barbara thought for a moment, then took out her phone: "Anyway, let's find a suitable custom tailor first. After we get out of the airport, I'll take you there and help you pick out a suitable dress."

"Hmm? How about this shop? They specialize in custom-made wedding dresses and formal wear. Their descriptions are very professional, and they have many positive reviews. Plus, there's a jewelry store nearby, so we can buy your jewelry there as well."

"This is so troublesome."

Jeanne Alter complained in a low voice, but since it was her friend's good intention, she did not refuse.

Barbara put away her phone and laughed, "Alright, stop complaining. Speaking of which, Black Jeanne, your name is Jeanne Darc, right? It's the same name as the legendary French saint. Yet you even know how to choose a dress. That's quite surprising."

"Even the saintess came from a village background, doesn't she know that her dress isn't very authentic?"

Black Jeanne refutes.

As they talked, the plane slowly descended. The two girls disembarked together.

Chapter 104 Possess Me

In the end, Ye Ming was unable to get his phone back.

Without a phone, there's no way to send a message to the company and get their help.

Ye Ming was immediately put in an extremely awkward situation.

Unwilling to give up, Ye Ming pretended to be angry again and emphasized to Hu Tao that he did not want to be a kept man and wanted to buy her a wedding ring with his own money. Hu Tao did not take the bait at all, but simply hugged Ye Ming's arm, moved closer to him, and showed a bright smile.

"Alright, alright, what do you think Keqing and I are working so hard to earn money in this world for? Besides searching for news of you, the rest is just to create a living environment where we don't have to worry about material conditions after we find you."

Hu Tao, with an air of self-righteousness, said, "So, our money, including the entire Liyue International, was originally prepared for you. How can spending your own money be considered being a kept man?"

Hu Tao was telling the truth.

During his time on the continent of Teyvat, many things underwent tremendous changes because of Ye Ming's presence.

For example, Jean and Barbara, who lived in two different families due to their parents' divorce, became the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Mondstadt, with outstanding abilities and the trust of the people of Mondstadt, while Barbara, who lived with her father, became the prayer priest of the Church of Favonius and also served as an idol.

These two sisters, although living in the same city and seeing each other often, are unable to be honest about their feelings for each other for various reasons. They clearly care about each other, but can only refer to each other as colleagues and dare not admit their sisterly relationship.

But because of Ye Ming's appearance, these two awkward sisters finally confessed their feelings for each other, successfully recognized each other, and became loving sisters.

There are many more changes like these.

Therefore, after arriving in this world, neither Hu Tao nor the other girls in Liyue had any obsessions they couldn't let go of, and naturally, they had no reason to strive or work.

The reason everyone created Liyue International and worked so hard was to reunite with Ye Ming and enjoy a happy life without having to worry about material things after the reunion.

Ye Ming was unaware of Hu Tao's thoughts, but he could sense the attitudes of Ke Qing and Hu Tao towards him.

"Why do I always feel like you all want to keep me as a mistress?" Ye Ming asked.

"Perhaps it's because everyone has received so much care from you in the past?"

Speaking of the past, Hu Tao's tone was somewhat nostalgic, but she quickly cheered up and dragged Ye Ming out, saying, "Alright, it's getting late, let's hurry up and go, otherwise we won't have time to hold the wedding."

Ye Ming, being just an ordinary person, naturally couldn't compete with a girl like Hu Tao in terms of strength. Therefore, he wisely refrained from resisting and left the basement with Hu Tao.

Once outside, Ye Ming checked the navigation on Hu Tao's phone and found that the wedding dress shop wasn't far away, only about a half-hour walk. In addition, the location of this basement was right next to Ye Ming's apartment complex, sandwiching the wedding dress shop in the middle.

"Shall we take a taxi?"

Ye Ming sought Hu Tao's opinion.

Hu Tao shook her head and said, "Let's walk over together."

Ye Ming naturally had no objections. This way, he could use the time he spent walking to think of a new strategy.

The two walked hand in hand down the street. The beautiful and energetic Hu Tao naturally attracted a lot of attention, and Ye Ming also drew a lot of stares.

Ye Ming didn't take it to heart. He had long been used to this situation after spending the past few days with Raffi, Fu Hua, and Ke Qing.

Holding Hu Tao's soft little hand, Ye Ming was thinking about Fu Hua's problem.

Today was supposed to be the day he took Fu Hua to the jewelry store and personally put a ring on her finger, but things changed because of Hu Tao's appearance. He didn't want to disappoint Fu Hua, but he couldn't tell Hu Tao about it, so he was in a dilemma.

To make matters worse, because he doesn't have a mobile phone, he has no way to contact the company and ask for their help.

For a moment, Ye Ming was caught in a dilemma.

At that moment, for some reason, Ye Ming suddenly thought of Lafite.

Raffi, his princess, his little angel—if Raffi were here with him now, perhaps things would be very different.

Just like before, Raffi, who usually looks sleepy and dazed, always manages to pull off amazing moves at crucial moments to help him out of trouble.

This is the first time.

While Ye Ming was lost in thought, Hu Tao suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? What first time?"

Ye Ming snapped out of his daze and looked at Hu Tao.

"The first time I held your hand, the first time I walked hand in hand with you."

Looking at their clasped hands, Hu Tao whispered, "Including just now, it was the first time I held your arm, the first time I nestled against your chest and heard your heartbeat up close, the first time you hugged me, the first time I sat on your lap, the first time I leaned against you, the first time we kissed..."

"Today, there are so many firsts, and we've been reunited after a long separation. For me, this is a very happy and important day."

Hu Tao, who had been very cheerful and lively since we first met, sounded somewhat subdued this time.

"I know, Ye Ming, I know many girls like you, and I know that sooner or later they will find you and come back to you. I also know that my sudden kidnapping of you without considering anything else is a bit bad, a bit despicable. I admit, I have ulterior motives. I want to run away, to take advantage of the fact that there are fewer people around to solidify my position in your heart, and I want to provoke Ke Qing and Gan Yu, to enjoy their amusing breakdowns..."

"I want to be ahead of Gan Yu and the others, I want to win first place, but I know that..."

"My feelings for you are feelings, and so are the feelings that Ke Qing and Gan Yu have for you. I have no right to ask them to give up their feelings for you, nor do I have the right to ask you to reject their feelings. I want to be number one, but I know I can't be the only one. I don't want to possess you forever, and I won't cause trouble for you and Gan Yu out of jealousy..."

“I know my sudden kidnapping may have disrupted your plans, put you in a difficult position, and made you distracted. If I have bothered anyone, I am willing to apologize to her, but…”

As she said this, Hu Tao suddenly stopped, walked up to Ye Ming, grabbed Ye Ming's hands and held them to her chest, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Ye Ming as if pleading.

"At least today, only today, Ye Ming, can you please not think about other girls when you hold my hand? Can you please not be absent-minded? Can you please look at me properly, spend this day with me wholeheartedly, and then, possess me?"

Chapter 105 Raffi, the Eternal God!

Heaven made you wait so you could meet the right person. This happiness is a blessing from heaven. Thank you! @YeMing

In the living room of the villa, Enterprise and Keqing discussed using the Crimson Long Gun to shoot down the mysterious person who was on Enterprise's carrier-based aircraft. Gan Yu, although also sitting on the sofa, was holding her phone, looking at Hu Tao's new post on WeChat Moments. She was both sad and upset looking at the photo of a man and a woman holding hands above the text.

If Gan Yu could understand Ke Qing taking the lead due to the convenience of her work, she could not accept that Hu Tao was also ahead of her.

As her best friend, Gan Yu naturally knew Hu Tao's strengths: she was imaginative, full of clever ideas, lively and cheerful, very pretty and cute, with a bright and radiant smile—truly a girl who could easily win someone's heart.

However, in contrast to its advantages, walnuts also have obvious disadvantages.

She is too barren.

Although it wasn't quite right for sisters to think this way, Gan Yu still felt that if she and Hu Tao were to compete fairly, even if they did nothing and said nothing, and both of them stood in front of Ye Ming and let him choose one of them, even if he chose a hundred times, the one chosen would always be Gan Yu.

Therefore, Gan Yu never felt that Hu Tao was a threat.

But reality is cruel.

Gan Yu never expected that although she and Hu Tao came to China together, in just one night, Hu Tao had already succeeded, while she could only see the figure of the person she liked in the photos Hu Tao posted. Moreover, whether Hu Tao intended it or not, Ye Ming never showed his face in the photos, which meant that Gan Yu still couldn't see the complete appearance of the person she liked in this world.

What upset Gan Yu even more was that Hu Tao would treat her like this!

It's one thing to provoke Ke Qing, since Ke Qing ran away first, but why did Hu Tao provoke Gan Yu? She didn't do anything!
