My mobile game wife came knocking.

Those were his Laffey, his ship girls, his angels, his wedding ship, his girl.

Ye Ming had long ago made up his mind to hold hands with his girl and walk together into the future.

So, can he still agree to Fu Hua's request? Can Fu Hua accept Laffey's existence? Can Laffey accept Fu Hua?

Ye Ming took a deep breath and looked at Fu Hua: "Could you give me a few minutes?"

"Huh?" Ye Ming's reaction was a bit unexpected for Fu Hua, who nodded subconsciously in surprise.

Ye Ming turned back to the bedroom, closed the door, pulled Raffi out from under the pillow, and shook the little girl's shoulders vigorously.

"Lafite, wake up, wake up!"

Lafite showed no reaction whatsoever.

Ye Ming simply pinched Raffi's nose, and a few seconds later, Raffi finally opened his eyes groggily.

"Hmm~ Commander?"

"Raffi, if I get married, will you mind?" Ye Ming asked.

"Huh? Is the Commander going to give out rings again?" Laffey was stunned for a moment, then slapped Ye Ming's hand away and said lazily, "Whatever, the Commander already has so many marriage ships, one more won't matter."

Laffey closed her eyes and buried her head under the pillow: "There's no need to ask Laffey about this kind of thing. The commander may not see the ship girls' wishes, but no ship girl will really object to the commander's will. Even if the commander is a womanizer, he has no choice but to accept it, because Laffey is the commander's ship girl, and the Laffey who loves the commander the most."

Little Lafite's words made Ye Ming feel extremely guilty.

"I'm sorry, Raffi," Ye Ming apologized.

Laffey shook her head under the pillow: "Don't misunderstand, Commander. These words were spoken by St. Louis. Laffey doesn't mind how many rings the Commander gives out, because Laffey knows that the Commander likes Laffey the most, just as Laffey likes the Commander the most. When the Commander is happy, Laffey is happy. When the Commander is happy, Laffey is the happiest Laffey."

Ye Ming had nothing to say.

"Yes, Commander also likes Laffey the most."

With that, Ye Ming took a deep breath and left the bedroom.

"I'm sorry, Fu Hua," Ye Ming said softly to Fu Hua.

Fu Hua, who had been listening to the conversation in the bedroom, clenched her fists, but her voice remained calm: "Is it because of the little girl in the bedroom? It's okay, I actually like her very much too. After we get married, I will treat her like my own daughter."

No, not just because of her.

Ye Ming shook his head.

If it were only Laffey, Ye Ming certainly wouldn't refuse to date Fu Hua. After all, although Laffey is a married ship, she's still just a little girl at heart. But Laffey once said that other ship girls in the port might also come to this world. If what Laffey said is true, with so many married ships, could Fu Hua still accept it?

Although she's a top student and a very capable fighter, Fu Hua is ultimately just an ordinary girl, and she probably couldn't accept so many ship girls.

"Why is that? Do you hate me?"

Fu Hua clenched her fists and took deep breaths to barely maintain her composure.

"No, to be honest, I also have feelings for you, but..."

Ye Ming thought for a moment and asked, "If I commit a crime, Fu Hua, what will you do?"

"crime?"

Fu Hua frowned. "That depends on whether you're wrong or not. If you're right, I'll help you. If you're wrong, I'll still help you and personally correct your mistakes. If it's just a crime, no matter what the crime is, I won't despise you. My feelings for you won't change. As long as you're willing, we can get married anytime."

"Then, what about bigamy?"

?

Chapter Sixteen: I Want You, and Them Too

Bigamy?

Fu Hua frowned. For some reason, upon hearing this word, Fu Hua vaguely sensed an ominous feeling.

This doesn't make sense.

In the past two years, although Fu Hua and Ye Ming went to different cities under the guise of pursuing graduate studies, the distance between the cities did not pose an obstacle for Fu Hua. In the past two years, although Fu Hua could not completely grasp Ye Ming's every word and action, she was still very familiar with Ye Ming's relationship status.

As far as she knew, Ye Ming had never dated a girlfriend in the past few years, nor had he had any ambiguous relationship with any girl. Of course, he had a few close male friends, but Fu Hua was not so sure as to doubt Ye Ming's sexual orientation.

Therefore, Fu Hua found Ye Ming's question utterly inexplicable, yet for some reason, she felt a vague unease in her heart.

"What do you mean? What are you thinking?" Fu Hua frowned as she looked at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming was at a loss for words for a moment.

After all, the matter of the ship girls is too bizarre and unbelievable. Even if Ye Ming told her, Fu Hua, who is just an ordinary person, might not believe it. To put it another way, even if Fu Hua believed it, Ye Ming would not tell her. The ship girls have special identities, and Ye Ming would not let his girls take risks.

On the other hand, Ye Ming didn't want to lie to Fu Hua either—Fu Hua was a serious and strong-willed girl. Just as Ye Ming understood Fu Hua, Fu Hua also understood Ye Ming. Ye Ming's lies might not be able to deceive Fu Hua, and Fu Hua would not give up without knowing the truth.

Ye Ming gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I can tell you what's on my mind, but you have to promise that after I listen, you won't lay a hand on me, and you won't tell my parents."

Ye Ming was still a little intimidated by Fu Hua's strength. It was a bit embarrassing to admit, but the image of Fu Hua calmly taking down one kid with a single punch when they were children still made Ye Ming shudder.

"I promise."

Noticing Ye Ming's appearance, Fu Hua found it amusing but also a little regretful—had I been too violent and scared him before?

"Alright, I'll be frank. You asked me if I like you. If I said no, well, we've already come this far. If I said I like you, well, I've only just started liking you..."

"Don't do anything yet, let me finish!"

Ye Ming took a step back, creating distance between himself and Fu Hua, and blurted out his thoughts: "Actually, I've never been in a relationship in my life. It might be a little embarrassing to admit, but when I was in middle school, I would sometimes fantasize about transforming into a horse and traveling to another world to meet all sorts of beast-eared girls and build a huge harem. When I went to college, I became a bit more realistic. Occasionally, I would fantasize about being noticed by a beautiful, super-hot rich woman or picking up a high school girl. After working for a few years, although I still fantasize occasionally, I don't really have much imagination about romance anymore."

"Although I've seen many beautiful girls, I've never had the urge to fall in love at first sight. As for developing feelings over time, I didn't have the time or opportunity because I used to be a construction worker who was always on the front lines of construction."

"Actually, I'm not that opposed to blind dates. Although there's a lot of drama about relationships online, in reality, from college to work, I've rarely met any weird girls. If we don't dislike each other and the conditions are right, I wouldn't mind giving it a try on a blind date..."

"But if it were you..."

"Fu Hua, I think even if we skip the dating step and get together directly, we'll probably still have a pretty good life together."

Fu Hua's eyes widened in surprise: "Then why—"

"Let me finish speaking first."

Ye Ming considered Fu Hua's words: "Let's talk. Back in school, I also had those kinds of thoughts, but one was that we were too familiar and I felt awkward bringing it up, and the other was that you are just too beautiful and outstanding. Although you have a big chest, and although you are open-minded and broad-minded, I still felt a lot of pressure."

"When you suggested we try dating earlier, I thought about it carefully. Well, we grew up together and know each other's personalities inside and out. Because of the valuable experiences we've had together, even if we discover each other's minor flaws or encounter some setbacks in life, we'll definitely be able to work things out well. Because we're familiar with each other, we can express our thoughts directly. As for family, my parents like you very much, so there shouldn't be much conflict."

"What I'm saying might sound unambitious, but since running away from the construction site, I've lost my passion for striving. I've always been a bit of a homebody and not very sociable. Although I've worked on the construction site for a few years and can handle my current job, colleagues, and clients without much trouble, it's really just for survival and to keep up with my family's concerns. I only feel a little better when I drag my tired body back to my dark home at night and turn on my phone or computer to chat with silly netizens."

"If we were together, I think that when I get home after working overtime at night, I might see my light among the thousands of lights in the apartment buildings. Even if I don't have my phone or keys when I get to my door, someone will open it for me. The area behind the door won't be dark anymore. In the brightly lit living room, there will be someone waiting for me to come home. Seeing this scene, even the most tired heart would be healed."

"This is the happiest scene I can imagine."

"Of course, you've been a top student since you were little, and you have a strong personality. You might be busier than me at work, or you might come home later than me. I might be the one waiting for you to come home. But having someone to wait for in your heart when you're busy must be a very happy thing."

“We are all ordinary people. Work and life may not always be smooth sailing. We may encounter setbacks at work or difficulties in life. But because you are the person beside me, I think we can definitely hold hands and walk through this part of life together.”

"You ask me what I really think? This is what I think, Fu Hua."

Ye Ming looked at Fu Hua and said this.

For some reason, looking at Ye Ming's eyes and tone as he spoke, Fu Hua's eyes suddenly welled up with tears: "Since you've already thought of this, why, why..."

"Because there are them, Fu Hua."

Ye Ming said in a low voice, "There is a group of girls, each of them is a perfect life like a dream, a fairy. They are strong, pure and beautiful. They believe in you and depend on you without reservation. No matter how bad you are, they will entrust everything, including their lives, to you. Even if one day you disappear without saying goodbye and take no responsibility, they will be sad and cry, but they will still try their best to find you. Even if you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, even if you search the whole world, even if you spend your whole life, they will want to return to your side."

"You may not believe it, but it's true."

"you……"

Fu Hua stared wide-eyed at Ye Ming, so surprised that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

The atmosphere in the living room became somewhat heavy for a moment.

Ye Ming immediately broke the heavy atmosphere: "Fu Hua, if I said I wanted you, and them too, would you beat me up?"

Chapter Seventeen: Let's Buy the Wedding Dress Together

Fu Hua remained silent.

Knowing Ye Ming's personality well, she naturally wouldn't take his jokes meant to ease the tension seriously.

When she finally snapped out of the idyllic future Ye Ming had described, she immediately realized that something was amiss.

Could those girls be referring to Yae Sakura and her friends?

Fu Hua was no ordinary girl in Ye Ming's eyes. With her advantage in information, Fu Hua easily understood the meaning behind Ye Ming's words.

A Valkyrie must have approached Ye Ming.

Could it be that Yae Sakura and the others have already hooked up with Ye Ming? Why didn't I notice anything unusual? There are so many of them, why didn't they fight?

Are the cherry-haired girl in a haori outside the window and the white-haired loli on the bed also newly appeared Valkyries?

So many Valkyries, and they all so peacefully and willingly became Ye Ming's wives?

Feeling incredulous, Fu Hua was filled with regret.

I wish I hadn't left these past two years.

what should I do?

For a moment, Fu Hua was confused.

Should he abandon Ye Ming and leave quietly by himself?

No, she would never accept this ending. She would never give up on the person she loved!

Taking Ye Ming's joke seriously, and like the other Valkyries, silently submitting to Ye Ming?

But she was the one who arrived first!

Instead of being one of Ye Ming's many wives, she will stay by his side as his unique childhood sweetheart.

Are you kidding me?! Does this mean I'll have to attend Ye Ming's wedding with the Valkyries as his childhood sweetheart? All the other Valkyries are brides, but she'll have to be a bridesmaid offering her blessings. Just thinking about it makes me incredibly sad.

For a moment, Fu Hua was confused.

Fu Hua glanced blankly at Ye Ming, then looked out the bedroom window.

Now that you've already met, why are you still hiding outside? Are you here to watch the show?

Eh?
