My mobile game wife came knocking.

Qin, who had just taken the elevator up again, leaned weakly against the wall and slowly sat down on the floor. She stared blankly at the azure sky outside the corridor window, covered her mouth tightly, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Chapter 146 Fu Hua: Let's go home for lunch.

"No, it hurts... um~"

As the Grand Master of the Knights of Mondstadt, Jean, a knight who can wield the power of the winds of freedom, possesses abilities far beyond simply incorporating the power of the wind into her swordsmanship.

The element of wind is the element of freedom; by means of the movement of air, the zither can easily capture the sounds of the wind.

Therefore, even in the corridor outside the main door, separated by two walls, Qin could still hear the embarrassing, blushing sounds coming from inside.

Although Qin, as a knight who upheld the excellent qualities of integrity and nobility, had always maintained her purity, she was not a naive woman who knew nothing. Because she had been mentally prepared last night, she knew very well what Hu Tao's muffled groans, which sounded like a mixture of pain and pleasure, meant.

Can……

The female lead in the room should have been hers!

Everything was going so smoothly before, and we had already reached the final step. If we had just had a little more time, what was going to happen would have happened. But, with such thorough preparation and such superb acting skills, why, why did it all go to Hu Tao?

Qin never expected things to turn out this way. She never imagined that all her hard work would ultimately benefit Hu Tao. She couldn't accept this ending. She wanted to cry her heart out but dared not make a sound. She could only cover her mouth tightly, her eyes filled with glistening tears.

The sounds in the room pierced Qin's resilient knightly heart like needles, and Qin, who had never been afraid before, subconsciously had the idea of ​​avoiding it. She didn't even wait for the elevator and left almost as if she were fleeing down the stairs.

After going downstairs, Qin didn't drive. Instead, she carried her handbag and wandered aimlessly down the street, staring blankly at the street scene that was no different from any other day.

Come to think of it, I've been in this world for so long, but it seems like I've never actually strolled around the streets.

Qin recalled the scene when she first came into this world.

Several years ago, one day, she was at the headquarters of the Knights of Mondstadt, looking at a thick stack of documents as usual.

These documents are not official business of Mondstadt, nor do they concern any troublemaker in the Knights of Favonius; they are simply intelligence about a particular person.

Five years ago, a guy named Ye Ming suddenly disappeared without warning, throwing the long-peaceful continent of Teyvat into chaos.

After initial mutual accusations and suspicions, the seven major powers on the Teyvat continent—Mondstadt, Liyue Harbor, Inazuma City, Winterfell, and others—quickly united and issued an exorbitant bounty to search for that person's whereabouts throughout Teyvat.

Every day, intelligence from all corners of Teyvat converges like a tide, and is then sent to the headquarters of the seven major powers. Together, they gather useful information in an attempt to find news of that person.

The documents that Qin was processing were intelligence from various parts of the Teyvat continent.

Every day she would process a large amount of similar intelligence with hope, but each time she would only be met with disappointment.

Since that person disappeared, Qin has been repeating this routine every day.

But on this day, an unexpected event occurred.

One second Qin was processing documents at the Knights' headquarters, the next second, the scene around her suddenly changed, and she found herself abruptly in a silent, deserted wilderness. Not far from her, there was a wide but dilapidated road.

Standing beside her were Barbara, Yura, and other members of the Knights Order, all of whom looked bewildered.

For a long time afterward, Jean and her Mondstadt companions gathered information about this world and founded Mondstadt International. Together, they made Mondstadt International thrive and, with its financial resources and influence, began searching for that person's disappearance once again.

Because they had all heard about this world full of skyscrapers from that person, they guessed that this might be that person's hometown.

As it turned out, this guess was correct.

After years of effort and repeated disappointments, Qin finally found her Ye Ming.

All the hard work and planning ultimately benefited Hu Tao.

"Is this God's punishment for my betrayal of the honor of chivalry?"

Qin Manxin felt lost.

"Miss Peggy, what's wrong?"

The familiar voice that suddenly rang out from across the street brought Qin back to her senses. She looked up and realized that she had unknowingly walked to the vicinity of the Mond International Office Building. On the steps at the entrance of the building, a girl named Fu Hua was looking at her in surprise.

"Eh? Fu, Fu Hua."

Upon seeing Fu Hua, Qin's disappointment immediately vanished, replaced by a deep sense of guilt.

"You, how did you get out here?"

Fu Hua, could it be that she wants to go home?

Qin was startled by her own guess.

Please don't go home.

Qin prayed silently in her heart. She couldn't even imagine how terrible the scene would be if she returned home and caught Ye Ming and Hu Tao having an affair.

"It's lunchtime, I'm going out for lunch."

Fu Hua looked at Qin strangely and asked in confusion, "Miss Peiqi, didn't you say you were going to meet an important client? Why are you back at noon? Have you finished discussing things?"

"Ah? Oh, um, the matter is settled."

Qin was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had indeed said that before, and quickly nodded in acknowledgment.

"Miss Peggy, are you alright? Your eyes look a little red, and your expression is strange. Could it be that you..."

Fu Hua looked into Qin's eyes, as if she had realized something.

Qin's heart skipped a beat when she saw Fu Hua's expression.

No, I—

She had only uttered two words when Fu Hua interrupted her.

“I understand, Miss Peggy. The conflict between you and the Barbara sisters is ultimately your own business, and I don’t mean to pry. However, Miss Barbara called me this morning to ask about your whereabouts and said some strange things. It seems that she has a deep misunderstanding about you. You’d better find an opportunity to explain things to her.”

"After all, you are rare sisters, and the bond between sisters needs to be carefully maintained."

Fu Hua spoke sincerely; she genuinely felt that her boss was a rare good person, which was why she intentionally offered a few words of advice.

"Barbara called you to ask about my whereabouts? And said some strange things?"

Could it be Barbara...?

Upon hearing Fu Hua's words, Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I understand. I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back and rest for a while. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Qin's feelings were complicated. She knew how to deal with Fu Hua, so she could only say a few vague words.

"Okay, Miss Peiqi, you can go upstairs and rest. I'll be going now."

Fu Hua noticed that Qin wasn't feeling well, but considerately didn't ask any further questions.

"Go? Where are you going?"

Qin, who had only taken a few steps, stiffened upon hearing Fu Hua's words.

"Go home for lunch, didn't I just say that?"

Fu Hua glanced at Qin strangely, not understanding why her boss would ask such a question.

Chapter 147 Prepare to die, Kurumi!

"Going home for lunch?"

Qin's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Fu Hua's words.

If Fu Hua were to go home now and see Ye Ming and Hu Tao rolling around in the bedroom, she would definitely be devastated, right?

As the one who started it all, Jean really didn't know how to face Fu Hua.

Ironically, although she was the instigator, she was not the ultimate beneficiary. In a sense, she was a victim, just like Fu Hua.

To be honest, Qin was very unhappy with Hu Tao's behavior of picking peaches.

No matter how dissatisfied she was, she wouldn't use Fu Hua as a pawn. As someone who had been through it all, Qin knew very well how painful it was to see the man she liked sleeping with another woman when she was caught off guard.

Qin didn't want Fu Hua to see such a stimulating scene, and she didn't want to hurt Fu Hua.

"Fu Hua, don't go home for lunch, just eat at the company."

Qin tentatively offered a suggestion.

"Why? Is something wrong?"

Fu Hua was puzzled.

Because I originally planned to sleep with your man at your house, but an unexpected incident occurred and another woman stole the spotlight from me. Now that woman is in your bed with your man, you certainly don't want to see such a terrible scene, right?

Qin simply couldn't bring herself to say such a thing.

"It's nothing, it's just that we've been working together for so long but haven't eaten together yet. Since we have some time today, I'd like to treat you to a meal."

Qin, who said this, had mixed feelings.

She never imagined that she would be covering for Hu Tao, who had picked her peaches.

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing Qin's explanation, Fu Hua suddenly understood.

She thought about it and realized that she had a long time to spend with Ye Ming in the future, so there was no need to rush. On the contrary, it was quite a rare opportunity to have a meal with her boss, who was usually very busy with work.

Besides, it was her boss's kind gesture, so Fu Hua didn't want to refuse.

"Well then, Miss Peiqi will have to spend some money today."

As she said this, Fu Hua asked with a smile, "Where shall we go to eat?"

"Cat House Western Restaurant".

Qin, who didn't know much about H City, thought for a long time and remembered the name of a restaurant that she had heard from Barbara before.

"I heard it's a very famous restaurant in H City, shall we go and try it together?"

"Okay."

Fu Hua nodded in agreement.

however……

"elder sister?"

Just as the two were about to leave, Barbara's complicated voice suddenly came from inside the Mond International Building. Jean stiffly looked up and found that Barbara, who usually looked at her with a bright smile and admiring eyes, now had her beautiful blue eyes, as beautiful as the sea, filled with anger.
