Although Lu Qing won against the three, the partnership between Mr. Jiu, Ouyang Yan, and Ou bei Yao was proceeding quite smoothly. While the three of them were discussing matters inside, Lu Qing, Qin Miaomiao, and Ou Beichen lounged on the top deck of the yacht on beach chairs, enjoying the sea breeze and champagne. Truly, it was the height of luxury.
If only she weren’t wrapped in such a thick coat.
Especially if her lap weren’t being used as a pillow.
"Lu Qing, I’m still mad, so could you move a little further away from me?"
Lu Qing let out an "Oh" and continued to enjoy resting his head on Qin Miaomiao’s smooth, fair thighs. From his angle, well, the spring scenery in front of her chest was now nicely covered, and her silhouette looked exceptionally attractive.
"Didn’t you already leave home? Your anger still hasn’t dissipated?"
Qin Miaomiao thought for a moment—he had a point. She had already expressed her fury by leaving home, and Mr. Jiu had helped her vent as well. Why continue being angry? It seemed... unnecessary.
"Alright, I’ll give you another chance. Answer me honestly again—between me and the game, what’s more important?"
Qin Miaomiao’s mood instantly soared. She knew it! How could a game ever compare to her?
Ou Beichen added softly:
"Sis, want me to carry you for a match? Let’s crush some noobs together?"
"Promise you won’t call me useless, won’t call me a feeder, or say I keep handing out free kills?"
Suddenly, Qin Miaomiao’s interest was piqued. She grabbed her phone, excitement bubbling: "Alright, alright, give me a moment—let me change my skin first, and then send me some gear!"
Ou Beichen leaned in: "How about I turn on some cheats for you? Guaranteed smooth upgrades."
"Really? Xiao Chen, you’re the best! Big bro, please carry me!"
And so, Lu Qing watched as his wife enthusiastically allowed Ou Beichen to pull her into the game’s pit. With a professional by her side, everything was different. She was practically invincible—destroying gods, defeating demons, unstoppable!
Qin Miaomiao became deeply immersed in the game’s world, completely captivated, and even began complaining about how Lu Qing lying on her lap interfered with her controls. She not only urged him to move but completely ignored him—even her gaze didn’t flicker his way!
Thirty minutes later.
"Crap! Why did I die again? Xiao Chen, avenge me!"
Lu Qing had been ignored for thirty minutes. He let out a deliberate "Hmmph"—she... still didn’t hear him.
"Argh! I’m going to die again! Xiao Chen, heal me quick and finish off that jerk in one move!"
Lu Qing’s face turned darker as he let out another "Hmmph"—she continued to... not hear a word!
Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Qing strode over, snatched her phone away, and asked in a chilling voice:
"Who’s more important, me or the game?"
Qin Miaomiao was at a critical juncture in her game. She heard his question and answered instantly, without hesitation:
"Of course the game! How could you compare to the game?"
With a flick of his hand, the phone traced a graceful arc in the air before plunging straight into the water!!
Qin Miaomiao stared, dumbfounded—her phone, just like that, was gone? Not even a remnant left for her?
Lu Qing cast a cold glance at Ou Beichen and threatened icily:
"Xiao Chen, don’t take her to play ever again."
Qin Miaomiao jumped up, furious: "Why! Lu Qing, you’re so controlling!"
She had only just entered the game’s pit, hadn’t she? It felt like she’d unlocked an entirely new world in her life, and right after she’d tasted the tiniest bit of sweetness, it was cruelly snatched away from her?

Qin Miaomiao was so angry she could cry and wished she could bite him: "Back then, didn’t you game to excess too? Did I say anything about it?"
Lu Qing replied slowly: "You left home."
The pit she’d dug herself? She’d have to jump into it with tears. Why had she chosen to leave home back then? At this point, she was only digging her own grave.
