Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Fang Xun controlled the strength in his hand. As long as he didn't use elemental power, his strength was actually not much different from that of an ordinary person.

“I asked Master Liuyun, and she said that the middle of next month is an auspicious day.”

While massaging his shoulders, Fang Xun didn't stop to talk about recent events.

Because Gan Yu had been working overtime, Fang Xun was basically handling all the wedding arrangements by himself.

While Gan Yu is resting, he is thinking of setting a wedding date.

"I plan to invite all the immortals, the Hall of Rebirth, the Cloudy Society, and our friends from Mondstadt to witness our happiness on that day. What do you think?"

"I'm fine with anything, whatever you say." Gan Yu nodded gently.

Although Gan Yu has lived in Liyue for a thousand years, her only close relative is Lord Liu Yun.

For her, the presence of True Lord Liuyun meant that her entire family had arrived.

"As long as you have no objections, I'll start preparing in advance," Fang Xun nodded and said.

He and Gan Yu never disagreed on anything, not because their opinions coincided, but because Gan Yu gave him enough tolerance and support.

"Wedding invitations, wedding candy, wedding banquet—all these things are indispensable," Fang Xun muttered to himself.

There are only three major events in a person's life: birth, marriage, and death.

Birth and death are things we cannot control, but marriage is the only thing we can control.

That's why Fang Xun wanted to give Gan Yu a wedding she would never forget.

Gan Yu turned to Fang Xun and asked with concern, "Won't it cost a lot of money to set all this up?"

"I have some money stored here, you can take it and use it first."

Gan Yu has always been a hidden heiress.

Having worked in Liyue Harbor for over a thousand years, her living expenses were not high, and she basically saved her monthly salary.

Over time, the "some money" she mentioned may be wealth that many people cannot accumulate in several lifetimes.

"Forget it, you should keep your money for yourself." Fang Xun shook his head.

If it were when Fang Xun first arrived in Teyvat, he would definitely have wanted as much Mora as possible in his pocket.

But for him now, money is nothing more than a string of cold numbers.

He had no interest in money; his happiest times were when he had no money in his pocket.

Time passed by, and soon it was time for Yuehaiting to officially start work, with more and more staff coming and going.

Fang Xun realized that it was not appropriate for him to stay at Yuehai Pavilion any longer, so he prepared to leave.

"Alright, I'm going back now. Remember to eat on time, don't go hungry, understand?"

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Gan Yu some final words of advice.

"Miss Gan Yu, you look great today!"

After Fang Xun left, a young secretary came over and couldn't help but tease him.

Because Gan Yu is approachable and down-to-earth, people often chat with her during breaks from work.

"Young lady, you don't understand. Once you have a boyfriend, your complexion will get better and better."

At this moment, another secretary next to her shared her experience in a tone of someone who had been through it all.

"This is called the nourishment of love~"

"The nourishment of love?! That sounds amazing," the young secretary exclaimed.

"Didn't you notice? Miss Gan Yu's condition was completely different before and after Mr. Fang Xun's arrival."

The young secretary suddenly realized: "That seems to be the case. After Mr. Fang Xun came by, it was obvious that Miss Gan Yu's mood improved."

"So, hurry up and find a partner, the two of you can talk about love all the time, and then have a baby."

Gan Yu listened to the two secretaries teasing her, her face full of shyness.

"I...I need to start working now," Gan Yu said in a panic.

Immediately afterwards, she hurriedly picked up the documents on the table and covered her entire face. This act of trying to hide something made her look like an ostrich burying its head in the ground.

The two secretaries exchanged a smile, knowing that Gan Yu was embarrassed, and did not tease her further before leaving to return to their posts.

Once the chattering around her subsided, Gan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She carefully observed her complexion through the mirror.

It doesn't feel any different from usual.

It seems that I am indeed happier and more relaxed.

The thought of wearing a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe in the middle of next month, and walking hand in hand with Fang Xun into the next stage of life, gave Gan Yu even more motivation to work.

Chapter 497 Wendy, you must look great in women's clothing, right?

"Brother Fang Xun, when are we going to Haiqi Island?"

As soon as Fang Xun returned home, the little girls swarmed around him.

They had been thinking about going to Haizhi Island to see the pearls, and they had even prepared their usual water bottles and changes of clothes.

It's clear that the little ones have a strong sense of anticipation and interest in today's outing.

Paimon and Ying came out when they heard the noise. Since they had nothing else to do, they decided to follow Fang Xun to Haiqi Island.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. Let me finish breakfast and then we'll leave, okay?"

Fang Xun seemed to have anticipated that the children would ask this question, and had prepared his answer in advance.

"Wait a minute, haven't you guys had breakfast yet?"

Fang Xun noticed that the breakfast he had bought earlier was still on the table, untouched.

“We want to wait for you to come back so we can eat together,” Ayaka Kamisato said earnestly, blinking her eyes.

"Fang Xun, it's a good thing you came back early, otherwise my stomach would have been growling!" Paimon added.

Fang Xun wanted to say that they could just eat without waiting for him, but he swallowed the words back down.

Even if he told them, it wouldn't make a difference; the little ones would still wait for him to come back before eating.

Even if Fang Xun pretended to be angry, it wouldn't work, because these kids are now incredibly good at using their charm.

They could simply pout and look at Fang Xun with a pitiful expression, and Fang Xun would have no way to criticize or educate them.

Fang Xun thought he had these little kids under his control, but he didn't expect that he was the one being controlled by them.

"How about we have a competition to see who finishes breakfast first?" Fang Xun suggested.

"Great! Paimon loves playing games!" Paimon cheered excitedly.

Ying, who was standing next to him, quietly added, "To be precise, Paimon likes to participate in food-related games because he can eat a lot of things."

Paimon stamped his foot, trying his best to defend himself: "What? Eating is supposed to be a happy thing, isn't it?"

Seeing Paimon and the little girls looking eager to try, Fang Xun smiled and asked, "Are you all ready?"

"Three, two, one, the game begins!"

At Fang Xun's command, the little ones immediately sprang into action.

Shen He picked up the steaming hot bun, then squeezed it tightly with his five fingers, instantly compressing the originally soft white bun into a small ball.

Beidou works with both hands simultaneously, finishing his breakfast with his left hand and then switching to the other, looking quite busy.

The little girl has a very outgoing personality; the word "lady" doesn't exist in her vocabulary. At this age, she already shows signs of being a leader.

Qiqi was always a beat slower than the other children. When everyone else had already started eating, she slowly and earnestly said, "Qiqi... is ready!"

Paimon made a "has-has-has" sound from time to time.

It was delicious, and it was really hot. It burned the kids so much they were flying around the house.

There's a saying in Liyue: "Haste makes waste," which Paimon clearly hadn't heard of.

It's clear that Ayaka Kamisato really wants to win the breakfast-eating contest; the little one's mouth is stuffed full, and her speech is muffled.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke." Fang Xun quickly handed her a glass of water.

"I'm number one!" Ayaka Kamisato flashed a victory sign.

"I'm second!" Beidou wiped his mouth and said defiantly.

After the other children finished their breakfast, Fang Xun stood up to clear the table.

"Speaking of which, have you seen Wendy recently?" Fang Xun asked.

After the Windflower Festival ended, Venti came to Liyue with Fang Xun.

He said he wanted to find inspiration for writing poetry in Liyue, but in reality he just wanted to freeload off the food, drinks, and lodging.

However, since Fang Xun returned, he has not seen Wendy. That guy is always elusive.

He's the one who needs to find you; it's more difficult for you to find him.

“I didn’t see him. Did he go back to Mondstadt?” Paimon shook his head and offered his guess.

"It shouldn't be. Given his personality, even if he were to return to Mondstadt, he would have said goodbye to us before leaving. It's impossible for him to leave without a word."

Fang Xun paused, then tried speaking towards the outside, "Is there anyone who can teach me how to write poetry? I want to write poetry."

The words were spoken, but there was no sound from outside. It seemed this tactic wouldn't work on Wendy.

Anyone want to go for a drink? It's on me.

"Want to drink? Are you going for a drink? Hey, count me in!"

The familiar bard appeared out of nowhere in front of Fang Xun, still sporting a bright smile.

Sure enough, the only way to get in touch with Wendy was through alcohol.

As is well known, fine wine is also known as the wind decoy.

Seeing Wendy appear before him, Fang Xun asked, "Where have you been these past two days?"

Wendy scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I just wandered around the area, experiencing the local customs and beautiful scenery of Liyue."
