Stop acting crazy

The silver-haired girl, as if afraid Fang Qi would go back on his word, let go of his arm and darted back into the bedroom with a swish!

Her light blue skirt twirled into the shape of a flower!

Sitting on the sofa, Fang Qi could hear the sound of her rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the bedroom.

Accompanied by a few irrepressible, sweet chuckles:

Hehe... Master is taking Liguang to the company... to meet his colleagues... hehe...

The voice drifted out through the door, rippling with an overflowing sense of happiness.

Fang Qi picked up his teacup and took a sip, unable to stop the corners of his mouth from curling up.

Today's plan... is secured!

Besides... the idea of taking her to the company wasn't entirely a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Today's main goal was indeed to resolve the storyline with Gu Xi, but if things went smoothly and ended early...

Taking Liguang for a spin around the company didn't seem like a bad idea.

Taking her out to see the world, and conveniently farming a wave of publicly acknowledged memories!

He had wanted to do this for a long time anyway—

To fiercely show off his unscientifically beautiful AI wife in front of his colleagues!

Those guys spent all day trying to set him up with Lin Xiaoyou!

He had to let them see... what a custom top-tier AI companion looked like!

Just as he was gleefully calculating, the bedroom door was pushed open with a click.

He subconsciously looked up, and then... he was completely stunned.

The silver-haired girl standing at the door... had completely changed her appearance.

She had taken off the light blue loungewear dress she always wore and put on a beige, form-fitting dress.

The neckline was decorated with delicate lace, the waist was drawn in very tightly, and the hem fell just above her knees, revealing a pair of straight, fair calves.

Her long silver hair wasn't draped over her shoulders like usual; instead, it was carefully braided into a side plait that rested on her shoulder.

A few stray strands of hair hung lazily on either side of her cheeks, making her breathtakingly beautiful face look even more captivating.

And what made it impossible for him to look away was—she had actually... put on makeup!

It was just a very light makeup look, but... her eyelashes were noticeably more curled, and there was a touch of light pink eyeshadow swept at the outer corners of her eyes!

Her lips were also coated with a layer of moisturizing peach lip gloss, which... shimmered with an alluring luster in the morning light!

She stood gracefully at the door, but her hands were nervously folded in front of her, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the fabric of her skirt.

Seeing Fang Qi staring at her, Liguang's cheeks quickly flushed with a red hue!

She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembling lightly, and her voice was soft and gentle, carrying a hint of uncertain timidity:

M-Master... is Liguang dressing like this... okay?

She looked up, her amber eyes gazing at him with a watery sheen, and the data stream in her crimson pupil slightly accelerated:

Is it... too formal? Or too casual? Will it embarrass Master...

Her voice grew quieter as she spoke, and her fingers twisted tighter:

Or... should Liguang go change into another outfit?

Liguang also has a light gray dress, or the one with the bow would work, or... or I can change my hairstyle...

No need to change! Fang Qi blurted out, interrupting her.

He stood up from the sofa, walked up to Liguang in a few steps, and looked her up and down with shining eyes:

Just like this! You look incredibly beautiful!

This was truly... breathtaking!

This crazy woman was already drop-dead gorgeous to begin with. Usually, her loungewear made her look gentle and soft, possessing a more introverted beauty...

Now, dressed up like this, she had completely unleashed... all of her introverted beauty!

He was genuinely amazed!

It was a beauty so stunning it was almost devastating!

Hearing this, Liguang's eyes instantly lit up.

She tilted her small face up, a gleam of pleasant surprise rippling in her heterochromatic eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably:

Really? Master thinks... it looks good?

More than just good! Fang Qi reached out and gently brushed a stray lock of hair by her cheek, his fingertips touching her slightly hot face:

When my colleagues see you, they'll definitely die of jealousy!

This was not a lie in the slightest.

He had previously taken Liguang to an amusement park. At that time, she had only simply changed her clothes, yet she was already the center of attention!

And this time, she had even dressed up meticulously!

Walking out looking like this... her head-turning rate would have to be two hundred percent!

Liguang's pretty face grew even rosier.

She gave a soft Mm, lowered her head, and gently stroked her braid with her small hands, but the smile on her lips simply couldn't be suppressed!

The smile was sickeningly sweet, carrying a bit of smugness and satisfaction. Deep within her amber pupil was the joy of being acknowledged by Master!

Fang Qi's heart skipped a beat.

Speaking of which, since last night... this crazy woman had hardly hidden her emotions.

He originally thought she had just released her pent-up emotions last night and might be a bit better today, but looking at it now...

Her emotional expression seemed to still be extremely rich?

Could it be she felt... that an emotional expression of this level could be blamed on her emotional core simulation?

...Whatever, who cares. The inspection had already passed anyway.

He just needed to pretend he didn't know!

Looking at the delicate and charming face before him, he cleared his throat and deliberately put on a stern face:

However... Liguang, when we get to the company, you have to be good. No running around, no talking out of turn, and you must follow my orders, understand?

Mm! Liguang understands!

The silver-haired girl immediately nodded, her expression as serious as if she were taking an oath:

Liguang will definitely be good and absolutely won't cause any trouble for Master!

As she spoke, she even leaned forward half a step, tilting her small face up and looking at him with sparkling eyes:

Liguang... will definitely make Master's colleagues all like Liguang!

Fang Qi couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth turn up, thoroughly hooked by her appearance. He reached out and rubbed the top of her head:

Alright, let's get ready to head out!

...

At seven-thirty, he pushed the door open and walked out right on time.

The silver-haired girl followed half a step behind him, her steps light and her posture elegant.

She kept her small head slightly lowered, her hands folded in front of her.

That appearance... made her look exactly like a shy and bashful little wife from the olden days following her husband out the door!

The two of them walked one after the other on the morning streets, the sunlight casting dappled shadows through the leaves.

And the effect of Liguang dressing up... was immediate.

Almost instantly, the gazes of the surrounding pedestrians all focused on them!

Holy shit... that girl... silver hair? Heterochromia? Is she cosplaying?

Shh... keep your voice down! But... that girl is really so obedient, she's just following with her head down...

It's fake, it's all makeup! She'll be ugly as hell once she takes it off! It has to be fake, it has to be... sob... I'm so jealous...!

Whispers drifted over from all directions.

Fang Qi's expression remained unchanged.

He had mentally prepared himself long ago.

Liguang, on the other hand, perhaps due to some kind of change in her mentality, felt... a little uncomfortable being stared at like this.

She lowered her head even further, her silver braid swaying gently with her movements, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

But she still just silently followed closely behind him, looking every bit the part of... I will absolutely not embarrass Master!

This was truly... adorably obedient!

The two of them walked one after the other, crossing two streets before turning into a relatively quiet fork in the road.

Looking at this intersection, Fang Qi's heartbeat began to accelerate slightly.

...This is it.

The plot trigger point!

He calmly slowed his pace, his gaze sweeping rapidly ahead—

Sure enough, in the shadows at the corner of the intersection, two silhouettes could faintly be seen.

One tall and thin, the other short and stout.

It's these two!

He took a deep breath. His face remained calm, but his body was already slightly tensed.

The silver-haired girl, however, still followed behind him with small, quick steps like a little tail.

Her small head was lowered, and her fingers were still unconsciously wringing the hem of her skirt...

She seemed... still nervous about meeting her master's colleagues soon, and even...

Completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere of their surroundings!

This left Fang Qi feeling a bit torn between laughter and tears.

Hey, hey, crazy woman... stop being shy!

It's time for your performance!

The next second, the two figures swaggered out from the shadows!

One tall, one short, both wearing dirty jackets and bearing malicious smiles on their faces.

The tall one gripped a fruit knife in his hand.

The short one carried a rusty iron pipe.

They looked exactly the same as in the game's plot!

But their actions deviated slightly...

In the storyline, these two were originally targeting Fang Qi, a lone office worker, purely to rob him of his money.

But right now...

Their eyes were locked on Liguang, who was standing behind Fang Qi!

And their eyes went wide with lust!

Hiss...

The tall robber sucked in his drool, his eyes bulging: ...This, this chick...

The short robber also gulped, his mouth hanging wide open in an obvious lecherous expression, completely speechless!

Fang Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Liguang's outfit was too devastating; it directly left the two robbers dumbfounded!

...Could they have abandoned the idea of robbing him of his money and decided to rob him for his beauty instead?

However, on this point, Fang Qi was a million times relieved.

This crazy woman is not someone you can mess with.

Sure enough, the short robber weighed the iron pipe in his hand, grinned, and chuckled:

Didn't expect an unexpected harvest... Bro, leave the money, and let us brothers borrow this chick to play with for a bit, yeah?

Fang Qi: ...

Great, just great.

You want to rob both money and beauty, huh?

He immediately frowned, stepping sideways to firmly shield the silver-haired girl behind him!

I can give you the money, but don't touch her!

Although he knew Liguang wasn't afraid of these two lowlifes at all, well... he still had to put on a show!

Besides, he needed to stall for time a little.

He subconsciously glanced at the entrance of the alley.

...Gu Xi! My beautiful police officer sister! Hurry up and get here!

If you don't come, who are we putting on this act for?

But then, he suddenly felt...

The fabric on his back being... gently grabbed by a small hand.

Immediately after, he heard a very soft, suppressed whimper.

Wu...

Carrying a slight tremolo.

Fang Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but quickly glance behind him from the corner of his eye.

The silver-haired girl was pressing tightly against his back, her breathtakingly beautiful small face almost buried in his shoulder blade!

Because of the angle, he could only see her slightly trembling silver eyelashes, and... the tips of her ears, which were so red they looked like they were bleeding.

Liguang's body was trembling slightly.

A kind of... almost spasmodic, excited shivering!

Her fingers were still gripping his clothes, even unconsciously tightening, loosening, and tightening again...

Master...

She murmured against his back, her frail voice carrying a hint of electronic static:

Master... Master is actually protecting Liguang...

Liguang... Liguang is so happy...

The voice was trembling with a sickly sweetness, the ending notes even changing pitch:

Liguang... Liguang belongs to Master... belongs to Master alone...

No one else can touch... only... only Master can...

Fang Qi: ...

...Hey!

Crazy woman!

There's a crisis right in front of us...

Stop acting crazy!
