That night, Xiao Mi was plagued by nightmares.
At one moment, she dreamt of Qin Ye arrogantly commanding her to do tasks, his condescending demeanor leaving her feeling frustrated; at another, she saw her in-game master ruthlessly eliminating those who bullied her, the bloody scene making her break into a cold sweat.
Due to her lack of rest, she rushed into the office just two minutes before work, panting heavily.
As soon as she arrived at the company, Xiao Mi received a special surprise—Anny had returned.
Xiao Mi excitedly rushed forward and tightly grasped Anny's hand, tears nearly spilling from her eyes. "Anny, you’re finally back! That's wonderful, congratulations!"
Of course, she also had to congratulate herself. Anny's return meant she could go back to the Secretariat and continue her mundane tasks, permanently escaping the clutches of the big boss in Abyss Mode.
No matter whether he was truly her master in the game or not, they would have no further interactions! Yet for some reason, knowing she wouldn't have to serve the troublesome Qin Ye anymore left Xiao Mi with a slight sense of loss, as if she had lost something precious and felt empty inside.
Anny radiated happiness, her face beaming with a joyful smile as she said, "Thank you. But I also want to congratulate you."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Xiao Mi asked, puzzled and confused.
"You’ve been promoted to a formal Executive Assistant! You owe me a meal!"
Xiao Mi's mouth dropped open in shock; she exclaimed, "How can this be? Aren't you back now?"
"I am back, but only to handle my resignation paperwork. I've decided to go home and be a full-time housewife. And there's one more important reason..." As Anny spoke, a shy expression crossed her face as she gently touched her belly. "I’m having a baby."
Xiao Mi's lips twitched slightly; it was clearly a joyous occasion, yet she couldn't muster a happy expression to show Anny.
Anny, seeing this, was not angry at all. She leaned closer to Xiao Mi and whispered, "Also, I want to tell you a little secret. When I took sick leave, it wasn't my idea to have you transferred to be the Executive Assistant; it was Big Boss... He was too shy to admit it was his decision and ended up blaming me instead..."
After saying this, Anny blinked playfully and added, "Tonight, I'm treating everyone to dinner. Manager Yin will be there too, so you have to come!"
That evening, the group celebrated wildly. To everyone's surprise, the usually hard-to-invite Qin Ye, the Demon Lord Yin, actually attended Anny's farewell party. What shocked them even more was that the Demon Lord got drunk...
Naturally, it was Xiao Mi's responsibility as the Executive Assistant to take the inebriated leader home. Sitting in the spacious and comfortable car, Xiao Mi glanced at Qin Ye, who had his eyes closed and was quietly resting. She couldn't help but let out a small sigh.
What exactly did this mean? Was the Demon Lord Yin really that psychopathic killer from the game? If he was, then after all her daily complaints about him in the game, shouldn't he have fired her by now? How had she even gotten promoted instead? And most suspiciously, he turned out to be... that person from years ago—
Thinking back to that embarrassing incident from years ago made Xiao Mi feel a bit awkward. It all started with Quan Quan; back when they were both freshmen in high school, Quan Quan had immediately set her sights on a handsome guy from the basketball team. However, despite her bold intentions, Quan Quan lacked the courage and had Xiao Mi deliver snacks and drinks to him every day.
At that time, Xiao Mi's eyesight was in a "wobbly phase." Having heard that once you start wearing glasses you can never take them off again, she stubbornly refused to get a pair. Because of this stubbornness, she ruined a great opportunity for romance.
The adorably clueless Xiao Mi mistakenly remembered what Quan Quan's crush looked like and ended up delivering snacks and drinks to another handsome guy she didn't even know, resulting in an eternal regret.
This incident had always topped Xiao Mi's list of embarrassing moments; even her mother forbade her from mentioning it. But she never imagined that the person she mistakenly sent gifts to would be Qin Ye.
How could she explain this to him so that he would believe she wasn't being fickle? Xiao Mi felt torn and furrowed her brows as if countless ants were crawling around in her heart.
Just as she sighed deeply, a furry head leaned slightly against her shoulder.
Startled, Xiao Mi turned around in surprise and found that Qin Ye had fallen asleep with his head resting on her shoulder.
Xiao Mi stole a glance at the driver, her face flushing with embarrassment; she truly felt intoxicated.
She gently adjusted Qin Ye's position, but after sitting for a short while, his head tilted again...
With gritted teeth, Xiao Mi pushed him once more, and as his head leaned again, the cycle repeated for the fourth time. Finally, the "drunken slumbering" giant awoke in dissatisfaction.
"Tian Xiao Mi, that's enough!" Qin Ye's voice carried a hint of irritation.
Xiao Mi feigned innocence, "Ah, you're awake. You were drunk just now."
"I wasn't drunk!" Qin Ye insisted.
"Only someone who's drunk would say they're not," Xiao Mi murmured softly.
"If I say I'm not drunk, then I'm not!" Qin Ye was getting a bit anxious.
"Drunk... um..." Before Xiao Mi could finish her sentence, Qin Ye's warm lips slowly pressed against hers, bringing with them the unfamiliar scent of a man and the fresh aroma of wine.
In an instant, Xiao Mi's cheeks turned crimson, like a ripe apple. Meanwhile, the driver remained focused on the road, as if he hadn't seen anything at all.
"You..." Xiao Mi's eyes widened in shock, her expression full of disbelief.
Qin Ye half-embraced her, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "I told you I'm not drunk; why don't you believe me?"
Xiao Mi fell silent, thinking to herself, is there really a way to prove that you’re not drunk? But what came out of her mouth was, “I promise I won’t honk and curse at you again.”
Qin Ye curved his eyes, a smile that was neither here nor there on his lips. “Is that all it takes? In my life, you’re the first person brave enough to tease me. What’s most infuriating is that after having your fun, you just disappeared.”
Seeing Qin Ye’s silver teeth clench, Xiao Mi knew he was referring to the incident from high school when she mistakenly delivered water to the wrong person, and she couldn’t help but chuckle.
At that time, when she realized the mistake, Xiao Mi wished she could dig a hole and hide in it. Naturally, she avoided going back to the basketball court after that.
Moreover, Qin Ye went abroad for further studies the following year, and this incident was completely forgotten by Xiao Mi.
Back then, she had indeed harbored some admiration for that tall boy. However, lacking the courage to confess her feelings, they parted ways without ever acknowledging it. It was surprising that they could meet again today…
Seeing Xiao Mi smile sweetly, Qin Ye felt in high spirits and lowered his voice. “Log in to the game tomorrow night.”
“Huh? For what?” Xiao Mi looked confused.
The Demon King pondered for a moment before saying with utmost seriousness, “To get married.”
Xiao Mi was stunned for a moment, as if struck by a spell. Then it dawned on her: once a teacher, always a husband.
So it turned out the Demon King had never had good intentions from the start. Wow!
