Tianquan Office.
Ningguang was frowning, handling the files of the day.
Many matters needed to be dealt with, making her very headachy.
The most crucial thing was that Ganyu had gone on a major strike in the afternoon.
This was something she had never expected.
Yesterday, she had at least been working at the Yuehai Pavilion. Although she was always absent-minded, at least she could handle some tasks.
Today, however, she had simply slacked off.
After Baiwen, Baishi, and Baixiao went to Ganyu, the pressure on her had increased even more.
Beidou, who was beside her, could only watch and couldn't help.
At this moment, the three of Baiwen knocked on the door and returned.
Seeing Ningguang, Baiwen began to report on Ye Xi's misdeeds.
"Lady Ningguang, Miss Ganyu has returned, she came back with Ye Xi."
"We think, Miss Ganyu must have been lured away by Ye Xi, so she would strike in the afternoon!"
"If this goes on, Ye Xi will eventually get Miss Ganyu! Lady Ningguang, please think of a way!"
Hearing the three people's reports, Ningguang slightly furrowed her brow.
"I knew it was because of that guy. Ganyu's changes these past few days have everything to do with him."
Saying that, Ningguang looked at Beidou, who was drinking alone beside her, with displeasure.
Beidou laughed heartily: "This only shows that my Ye Xi is attractive!"
"Even the immortal who has lived for thousands of years has been embraced by him, he is indeed worthy of it."
Ningguang helplessly held her forehead.
At this rate, it might not be long before Ganyu had to take maternity leave!
What would happen to the countless affairs of the Liyue Qixing then?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She stood up and took away Beidou's wine flask: "You're still leisurely, if Ganyu doesn't come to work, how will Liyue '973' function?"
Beidou snatched at the wine flask, but couldn't even touch Ningguang's hand.
She could only rest her chin and say: "You Liyue Qixing have seven people, why not just be more united?"
As she was speaking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
A few secretaries rushed in in a panic.
"Lady Ningguang, it's not good, I just saw the Yuhang Lady embracing Lord Ye Xi!" "Yes, two people are clinging to each other, their affection is extremely great!"
"If this goes on, Lady Keqing might have to get married!"
As the words fell, Ningguang and Beidou widened their eyes.
"What!?"
The two looked at each other.
One didn't expect that the Yuhang Star had also been taken by Ye Xi.
The other didn't expect that her own brother was so fierce, in just two days he had taken the Yuhang Star.
"What do you say now? The Liyue Qixing is now going to become the Liyue Six Stars!"
Ningguang was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
She didn't understand, why was it at such a critical moment!
The Geo Archon would be retiring soon, and the Liyue Qixing had fallen into chaos.
If something suddenly happened, wouldn't Liyue be in chaos?
Even if it was to get mixed up with Ye Xi, that would be fine, at least get some information back.
There was no movement, and they had only lost everyone.
She had lost her wife and lost her army!
Beidou turned her head, and looked like it was none of her business, muttering: "Sooner or later, Liyue Six Stars will become Liyue Five Stars…"
"What did you say?" Ningguang snorted, obviously hearing Beidou's muttering. Seeing that Beidou didn't react, she could only furrow her brow: "Come with me, let's go and see!"
Beidou reluctantly followed Ningguang and left the office.
At this moment, the Yuhang office.
Ye Xi took off Keqing's small leather shoes, and then reached out and pulled the white thin stockings from her slender legs down to her ankles.
At this time, some swollen areas could already be seen.
Keqing looked pained, her eyes slightly squinted, and her brows trembled slightly, as if she was very uncomfortable.
Ye Xi gently took off the thin stockings, and the pink little feet appeared before his eyes.
To be honest, he hadn't seen them at daytime either.
At that time, Keqing was wearing a scarf, and these small feet couldn't be covered.
But it was the first time he had handled them so closely.
The only difference was the swollen ankles, which were still fair and delicate during the day, but now they were obviously a little red.
Keqing was a little shy, because girls' feet couldn't be easily seen by others.
But now, they had completely fallen into Ye Xi's hands, at his mercy.
Ye Xi poured some of the medicine from a small medicine bottle onto his hand.
This wound medicine was specifically for bruises and sprains.
To put it plainly, it was a cooling oil used for relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation.
He patiently applied the medicine to Keqing's delicate ankles.
Because it was especially cold at first, Keqing couldn't help but let out a teasing scream.
"Mmm so cold…"
"It's okay, rub it a bit, and it won't be hot soon."
Ye Xi rubbed his hands, and then began to knead the swollen parts.
He had to say, a girl's skin was really fair and tender.
Keqing came from a prestigious family, and was spoiled since she was young.
Although she had been running around these years because of work, the little girl recovered quickly.
After a few days, her skin would be as good as ever.
When her ankles were twisted, the reason they swelled up was because of blood clots.
Applying this ointment and constantly kneading, the blood clots would be kneaded as much as possible.
That way, after the blood vessels were clear, the swelling would subside.
He repeatedly massaged Keqing's ankles.
"Pain…"
Keqing's voice was also a little tearful.
For some reason, she was usually very strong.
But now that she had Ye Xi, she felt much more fragile.
It seemed like she wanted comfort.
Ye Xi used a lighter touch, these wound medications should not be mixed together, and were very effective.
Some of the red and swollen areas had subsided.
He patiently said: "Hold on, it'll be fine soon."
At this moment, outside the office.
The miraculous scene from the morning was replaying.
Ningguang and Beidou were secretly listening at the door.
Baiwen, Baishi and Baixiao, and the other secretaries also pricked up their ears sneakily, wanting to hear more clearly.
"What are they doing?"
"Rubbing it and then it will get hot?"
"It hurts a lot, and then hold on and it will be fine."
"They wouldn't be"
The few secretaries covered their faces, blushing, and dared not listen any further.
Ningguang frowned: "Too much, this is the Yuehai Pavilion's office, how can they be so reckless?"
"That's right! This kind of influence is so bad!"
"If outsiders knew about it, what would happen to the Liyue Qixing's face?"
"They must be punished!"
The few secretaries echoed each other.
It was as if Beidou was imagining something, and mumbled: "I think it's quite stimulating, I want to experience this feeling…"
"Hmm?"
"You're not right!"
"Captain Beidou, this is not good!"
Seeing the few secretaries looking at themselves with shame and indignation, Beidou laughed heartily and scratched her head.
"What's not good, people have to know how to seek stimulation!"
Ningguang frowned and snorted: "Nonsense! Go in and let them know their lesson!"
Saying that, she pushed the door open, and directly walked in.
"What are you hmm?"
Before Ningguang could finish her angry words, she saw Ye Xi sitting on a chair, gently rubbing Keqing's jade foot.
"Ningguang? Big Sister? Why are you here?"
Ye Xi looked surprised.
At this time, Keqing, who looked to be enjoying herself and in pain, opened her eyes. Seeing everyone gathered at the door watching, she immediately shyly shrunk her legs.
Ye Xi saw the few secretaries who had just run away, and immediately understood the reason for the matter, and said with a smile: "As you can see, I'm helping Keqing apply wound medicine, are you thinking of something strange?"
Beidou immediately said boldly: "This is what Ningguang thinks, that you are in the office"
"Cough" Ningguang covered Beidou's mouth, and said seriously: "Beidou and I are worried about Keqing's injuries, we came to see the situation, you continue, it's just a routine inquiry."
[Really worthy of Ningguang, the reaction is so fast.]
[The official words are spoken beautifully.]
Hearing Ye Xi's thoughts, Beidou couldn't help but hold back her laughter.
Keqing, as the injured person, also stood up: "My injuries are rapidly improving with Ye Xi's care! Thank you for your concern, Lady Ningguang."
Saying that, she gave Ningguang a provocative look.
In her eyes, it seemed to be saying your man is mine now.
Ningguang avoided her gaze, but felt very unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't find fault with Keqing, so she had to shift her target to Ye Xi: "Ye Xi, I remember you said before lunch that you would come back to work in the afternoon, right?"
Ye Xi was stunned.
[It seems I said that at the time…]
[Didn't the plan change?]
[Ganyu wants to eat Sea Ganoderma, how can I delay it?]
Hearing Ye Xi's thoughts, Ningguang helplessly held her forehead.
She couldn't help but sigh, and thought to herself: This guy, he skipped work with Ganyu because Ganyu wanted to eat Sea Ganoderma!
Eating Sea Ganoderma, could it be more important than the work of the Liyue Qixing?
Wait, how did they get to Inazuma?
Before Ye Xi could defend himself, Keqing spoke up for him: "Ningguang, if you think Ye Xi isn't working hard, you can fire him."
"I'll offer double the price, and let him move next door to me tonight."
Beidou laughed: "I didn't expect Keqing to still be a husband-protecting demon, has she already started protecting him?"
Hearing this, Keqing's pretty face was flushed with color…
Ningguang stepped forward and grabbed Ye Xi's arm: "Ye Xi is hired by me, the contract can't be terminated! Ye Xi, come home with me now!"
Saying that, she was about to pull Ye Xi away.
[This woman, doesn't she still have her eyes on this set of clothes?]
Ye Xi said earnestly: "You still have a lot of work to do now, right?"
"No matter! Come home with me!" Ningguang wouldn't let go.
"No matter? No... wait a moment, you are the Tianquan Star... Ningguang?"
Ye Xi was directly pulled away from the office by Ningguang, leaving a group of secretaries stunned.
The Ningguang just now was just like the landlady who came out to catch her cheating husband!
"Lady Ningguang isn't doing it either!?"
"No way, is Lady Ningguang going to strike too?"
"It's over, what about this one! There's a whole pile of work!"
The secretaries collapsed.
Only Beidou was secretly enjoying: "I said it, right? The Liyue Qixing is going to become Liyue Five Stars…"
Ningguang pulled Ye Xi and, in a decisive manner, left the Yuehai Pavilion and went straight to the Qixing Manor.
Seeing Ningguang and Ye Xi's figures, the Qianyan Army of Yujing Terrace were able to swallow a pebble!
"What, what's going on?"
"He was caught by Lady Ningguang for flirting outside!"
"So Lady Ningguang is the primary wife?"
"Speaking of which, Lady Ningguang's personality is definitely the main wife, the aura is there!"
"I don't accept it, I think it should be Yuhang Lady!"
"You're all wrong, I think it's Miss Ganyu! She has a touch of the ethereal about her!"
"Bet?"
"Bet!"
"Place your bets, place your bets!"
"Damn, isn't anyone betting on Xiangling, the chef?"
"Forget it, Xiangling's cooking is great, but she's definitely the smallest!"
"Lady Ningguang, Lady Keqing and Miss Ganyu, who doesn't suppress her?"
"Correct order, Lady Ningguang, Miss Ganyu, Lady Keqing, and finally Xiangling."
"This seems reliable!"
"..."
The Qianyan Army of Yujing Terrace had seen a great show these few days!
The things they saw these few days simply refreshed their understanding of the Liyue Qixing.
At first, everyone thought that the Liyue Qixing were one more strict than the other, one more serious than the other.
Everyone was dedicated to developing Liyue well.
However, Ningguang and Keqing were going in and out with Ye Xi these few days, which made them feel that the Liyue Qixing seemed to be busy falling in love.
They couldn't help but worry about the future of Liyue.
On the other side.
Ye Xi was pulled back to the mansion by Ningguang.
Originally, Ye Xi wanted to sneak away, but Ningguang's two hands were completely not letting go, pulling his arm, and directly taking him to the bedroom.
After locking him in the room, Ningguang turned around and directly locked the door.
"Ningguang, it's not necessary, it's not necessary…"
Ye Xi saw this situation, and was a little worried about what Ningguang was going to do.
0 Looking around, Ningguang's room was very luxurious.
The valuable vases, the thick gold silk carpet, and the tables and chairs were all mahogany.
It could be said that it was not much different from the furnishings in the Jade Chamber.
One couldn't help but exclaim.
[She's really a big rich woman!]
[Beautiful, rich, and charming.]
Hearing Ye Xi's thoughts, Ningguang was also a little nervous. This was the first time she had brought a man to her bedroom.
Who would dare to come in normally?
Then she heard Ye Xi's thoughts again.
[This... could this be Ningguang's personal clothes?]
Ningguang was startled, and suddenly remembered that the clothes she had just changed in the morning hadn't been put away yet.
They were on the bed right now!
Sure enough, Ye Xi was looking at her bed.
Ningguang's face, which had been calm as an ancient well, showed some shame. She hurriedly went to the bed and put a few items in the covers.
"Cough…" She suppressed the nervousness in her heart and said seriously: "Ye Xi, in view of your performance on the job these past few days, I think it's necessary to hold a small meeting."
"Why have a meeting in the bedroom?" Ye Xi interrupted Ningguang's words, trying to express his opinion.
Hearing that, Ningguang's face turned red.
For some reason, she felt a little strange.
Because Ye Xi looked like he was just in his prime, and it always felt like she was forcing the young man.
This feeling made her very ashamed.
"You have an opinion? I have an opinion about you too!"
"Setting aside the location for now, you said today that Beidou's figure is better than mine, I don't agree."
"There's an old saying in Liyue, seeing is believing."
"I want you to take a good look, where exactly is my figure worse than Beidou's?"
Ye Xi: ???.
