My mobile game wife came knocking.

She glanced at Ye Ming, trying to get his opinion.

However, Ye Ming, who was also doing this for the first time, only had a vague understanding of the matter.

However, Ye Ming was not flustered at all.

Actually, after he decided to bring Fu Hua to buy a wedding ring yesterday, he had plenty of time to search online for relevant guides, but he didn't do so.

He felt that although Fu Hua wasn't the girl he liked the most in the game, they were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together. They understood each other well, and their relationship wouldn't be like that of an ordinary couple, where small things could cause cracks. Compared to the type and value of the ring itself, Fu Hua cared more about the symbolic meaning of the ring.

In this situation, wouldn't it be better for two novices to enjoy the fun of choosing a ring together instead of searching for a guide in advance?

Ye Ming felt that if Fu Hua was like this, then Hu Tao would naturally be the same.

"Could you take us to the counter to have a look?"

Ye Ming held Hu Tao's hand and smiled at the saleswoman.

"Of course, please follow me."

The sales assistant led Ye Ming and Hu Tao to a counter and stopped. Pointing to the rings in the display case, she smiled and said, "A diamond ring is a ring set with diamonds. The materials are usually platinum, yellow gold, and rose gold. The price varies depending on the size of the diamond and the craftsmanship. Recently, platinum and rose gold diamond rings have been selling the best."

After saying that, the sales assistant pointed to the rings in the display case next to her: "These are all plain band rings. Generally, plain band rings refer to simple rings without carvings or gemstones. Of course, there are also some with a few carvings."

"In previous years, elaborate and luxurious diamond rings sold better, but in recent years, plain band rings have become very popular with couples who come to the store because they are simple, elegant and graceful, and can better highlight the owner's fingers and skin. They also have the meaning of a simple life, simple happiness and carefree life."

"You two can choose whatever you like. Feel free to ask me anything; I'll be right here."

After the saleswoman finished speaking with a smile, she stepped aside, giving Ye Ming and Hu Tao some space.

What type of diamond ring does Walnut like? Would a platinum one be okay?

Although Ye Ming knew that Hu Tao probably valued the symbolic meaning of the ring more than its intrinsic value, it was, after all, a wedding ring, and Ye Ming felt that a diamond ring would be more appropriate—though this might seem like he'd been brainwashed by propaganda, Ye Ming didn't think it mattered.

“I think that with your beautiful skin and slender, fair fingers, a platinum ring would suit you better.”

Ye Ming prefers platinum to gold and rose gold. He feels that women who wear platinum wedding rings possess an intellectual and elegant air.

"I also like platinum rings."

Hu Tao nodded in agreement, but then changed her tone: "However, I prefer this to a diamond ring."

Hu Tao turned around and pointed to a plain platinum ring in the display case next to her, which had no diamonds or carvings.

"Simple, elegant, and pure. I like this kind of meaning."

Hu Tao was telling the truth.

Back in Teyvat, she and Ye Ming could only be considered friends at best. Love was something she had always longed for but could never have. Moreover, in Teyvat, she and Ye Ming had experienced many conspiracies and setbacks.

Now that happiness is in her grasp, Hu Tao cherishes the present even more than before.

You don't need dramatic experiences or unforgettable, thrilling love. Being with the person you love, and simply enjoying quiet, peaceful everyday life, is enough to make you happy.

Thinking this, Hu Tao suddenly felt her phone vibrate repeatedly in her bag.

She took out her phone in surprise, opened it, and her happy smile froze instantly.

A whole string of messages, all from Keqing.

"Hu Tao, come out and face your death!"

"come out!"

"Come out come out!!!"

Chapter 109 Barbara Locks On to the Target, Sister, Come Quickly!

Inside the wedding dress shop.

When Hei Zhen saw the name Ye Ming on the register in the sales assistant's hand, it was as if a thunderbolt flashed through her mind. She felt her head buzz and she was stunned.

Ye, Ye Ming!?

The name I had been longing for appeared before my eyes once again, and the impact it had on Jeanne Alter was simply indescribable.

For her, this name represents the most important person in her life, without exception.

Could it be him?

Or is it just a coincidence? Or just people with the same name?

Black Jeanne doesn't know.

But just the name itself was enough to shake Jeanne Alter's emotions, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.

She couldn't help but recall the past.

As a vengeful figure who emerged after Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, she knew about Joan's past and naturally knew about the man who helped Joan carry the holy banner.

She deeply envied that experience and those feelings, thinking that the man could only exist in her memory, a dream she could never reach. However, during the Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon, she was born as a dragon witch seeking revenge, and she unexpectedly met him again.

She had clearly stated the Dragon Witch's curse many times, said she was a witch from hell many times, and said many times that she would strangle or burn anyone who dared to come near her, but that man still relentlessly approached her, harassed her, and interfered in her affairs without her consent.

Finally, having been harassed to the point of exhaustion, she had no choice but to reluctantly accept reality, and with the determination that "since that's how it is, then let's go to the end of hell together," she accepted the man's existence.

But just when everything was about to end, the man who had done so much for her suddenly disappeared without warning.

This greatly affected Jeanne Alter, making her doubt whether that man hated her and abandoned her.

When she arrived at Chaldea and discovered that her Master was that man, although she suppressed her joy and trepidation and pretended to be disgusted, she was still very happy to see that man trying to approach and harass her as always.

At that time, Jeanne Alter thought, if this kind of life could continue, it would be pretty good, right?

But such a fantasy never became a reality. Not long after she started living in Chaldea, the time that person spent in Chaldea began to decrease, the intervals between his appearances became longer, and each time he appeared, he no longer bothered her like before. He would always come and go in a hurry, and slowly, without her knowing when, he never appeared again.

Because of his disappearance, Chaldea fell into a period of chaos. In the midst of this chaos, Sakura Saber Okita Souji, a girl who had an extremely similar face to Artoria, and who would even be mistaken for Artoria by Mordred if she wrapped her chest and wore Artoria's clothes, excitedly calling out "Father," also suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterward, before everyone could reach a conclusion after discovering this, Jeanne Alter herself inexplicably left Chaldea and came to this world.

When Jeanne Alter first arrived in this world, she was harassed by some clueless thugs. When she took action to teach them a lesson, Jeanne happened to be passing by and saw it. After a conversation, she joined Mondstadt International and became the head of the security department, barely managing to gain a foothold in this world.

Finding that man and teaching him a lesson is Jeanne Alter's only goal in this world.

Black Jeanne, who thought it would take a long time to find any clues, unexpectedly saw the name Ye Ming today. You can imagine how excited she was.

She really wanted to ask the sales assistant directly if she knew anything about Ye Ming, to find out what Ye Ming looked like and how to contact him, to confirm whether this Ye Ming was indeed her Ye Ming. However, Hei Zhen also knew that, generally speaking, out of consideration for protecting customer privacy, the sales assistant would definitely not tell her Ye Ming's specific information. Even if she tried to bribe her with money, it might not be safe, and it might even bring trouble to the person named Ye Ming.

The safest way is to leave as if nothing happened, then secretly come back later to check the surveillance footage to confirm Ye Ming's identity. If it really is her Ye Ming, then gather information and go to his door.

This may also require the help of Mond International.

Therefore, after regaining her composure, Jeanne Alter thought for a moment and then said to Barbara, "Barbara, I need your help with something. I'd like you and Jean to help me find someone named Ye..."

Before Ye Ming's name could even be uttered, Barbara suddenly jumped up, covered Jeanne Alter's mouth, hugged her, rolled over, and hid behind the counter.

"Shh~"

Barbara covered Jeanne Alter's mouth tightly and shushed her, but her eyes were fixed on the door through the crack in the counter.

Jeanne Alter was stunned for a moment, then looked up and followed Barbara's gaze, just in time to see four figures, three adults and one child, walking by together.

They were all strangers I had never seen before.

Jeanne Alter glanced at Barbara and noticed that Barbara looked surprised. In her eyes, besides excitement, there was even more tension and solemnity.

"You know each other? Are you enemies?"

Black Jeanne pried Barbara's hand off her mouth and asked in a low voice.

Barbara shook her head upon hearing this.

"I only know the blue-haired and purple-haired women. The blue-haired woman is named Gan Yu, and the purple-haired woman is Ke Qing."

"We know each other, but we're not enemies. To be precise, we should be considered old acquaintances, the kind of old acquaintances who might be our biggest competitors."

"I never imagined that they would come into this world too."

Barbara said urgently, "No! We must tell my sister this as soon as possible!"

As she said this, Barbara took out her phone and sent a message to Jean.

After sending the message, outside the store, Gan Yu and Ke Qing had already crossed the intersection and were about to disappear around the corner.

Barbara pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said to Jeanne Alter, "Quick, Jeanne Alter, let's follow them and try to find their hideout and gather some useful information."

"But……"

Hei Zhen didn't want to go; she wanted to find an opportunity to secretly watch the surveillance footage to confirm Ye Ming's identity on the register.

"Oh no, no buts! Hurry up, or we'll lose them!"

With that, Barbara stretched out her hand, braced herself against the counter, and jumped over it, chasing after Gan Yukeqing's disappearing figure.

After a slight hesitation, Black Jeanne realized that the surveillance cameras were there and couldn't be eliminated anytime soon. Also, she was worried about Barbara's safety. So she apologized to the sales assistant who was stunned by the two's actions, then crossed the counter and chased after the direction where Barbara had disappeared.

…………

Qin, who was engrossed in her work and processing documents at Mond International, suddenly felt a vibration. She looked up and saw that her phone was flashing an indicator light that showed she had received a message.

Qin pushed aside the documents, stretched, picked up her phone, and froze instantly.

"Barbara has spotted a fox spirit in Liyue! Sister, come quick!"

Chapter 110 The End of the Walnut

"Hu Tao, come out and face your death!"

Taking out her phone, Hu Tao saw a series of messages from Ke Qing. Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her head to look outside the store.

On the street outside the store, there were only a few passing cars and two couples who had just arrived at the jewelry store. Other than that, there was nothing else.

Seeing this, Hu Tao breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

She thought Ke Qing had followed her here.

However, such a thing is impossible to imagine.

It's important to understand that her kidnapping of Ye Ming was a spur-of-the-moment decision after seeing Ke Qing and the company leave Ye Ming's side. According to her plan, after kidnapping Ye Ming, the first step would definitely be to take advantage of him and solidify their intimate relationship. Once they had a relationship, she would naturally have a reason to stay by Ye Ming's side, and in this way, feelings could be cultivated slowly.

However, Hu Tao didn't expect Ye Ming to have such strong self-control. Even though she clearly explained her identity from the game and gave Ye Ming a suitable reason, in the end, faced with such a beautiful and cute girl taking the initiative to throw herself into his arms, Ye Ming did not lose his beastly nature. He remained rational and unmoved by her advances.

This surprised Hu Tao, but also made her feel a little proud.

He truly is the man I, Hu Tao, have chosen!
