Genshin Impact: After Getting Married, Something Changed in My Body Chapter 22 - 22 – Lights Out, Keqing, You’re Not Getting Awa

Watching Ryou leave with Keqing, the Ministry of Civil Affairs staff all exchanged looks.

One tall, chubby man stared in disbelief. "I honestly can't imagine it… Keqing-sama is usually so strict, but she was acting all cute like a girl."

"What kind of nonsense is that?" a female staffer snapped, smacking him. "Keqing-sama is a girl!"

She kept staring outside, still stunned. "And that Tabibito—seriously, she's got guts. Everyone in Liyue knows Ryou married our Keqing, and she still dared to ask him, right in front of Keqing, if he has soone he likes. Tch. That's sothing."

A woman with a pointed chin chid in, "You just don't get it. Ryou-sama is that handso. Forget Tabibito—honestly, even …"

She suddenly paused, flustered, and waved a hand. "Ah—no. I need to go ho and change."

The words themselves sounded harmless, but a bunch of the girls instantly went red.

Seriously, isn't she a little too bold?

Just saying that out loud—

No, no, I should go ho too. I… I have laundry to bring in.

That man is dangerous.

One by one, the female staffers walked out, their movents looking a bit stiff.

A male staffer with a shifty look glanced after them, then started grinning to himself.

"What're you laughing at?" another tall man snapped. "Never seen won before?"

"Look at you, all sneaky and slimy," a different man added. "You're embarrassing the Ministry."

The shifty guy clicked his tongue. "Listen to you two—big talk, that's all. I'm telling you, when it cos to won, I'm a professional."

"Trust ," the shifty guy said with a grin. "They're flustered. Now watch—any second they'll start making excuses like, 'I have to go deal with my laundry,' just to run ho."

Everyone: ???

A few people actually glanced outside. "Laundry? What laundry?"

The shifty guy just laughed. "Exactly."

…

The shifty guy covered his forehead, then looked at them like they were hopeless. He flashed that sa grin again.

"You guys still say I'll never find a wife," he said. "Just watch. By tomorrow, I won't just have a wife—who knows, I might even have a kid."

With that, he swaggered off.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded.

A short guy muttered, "That was… a lot of information. Wait, is he going to end up raising soone else's kid?"

…

When Ryou got ho, the servants had already prepared the al.

He sat at the table with Keqing in his arms, feeding her while he ate.

"Put down," Keqing protested, squirming a little. "This is so embarrassing."

Ryou was her husband, sure, but this still felt mortifying—especially with servants around.

And worse… with him holding her like this, her heart wouldn't stop pounding. Her breath kept getting heavier, one after another, like sothing inside her was trying to break loose.

She had a Vision. She trained with the sword year-round.

And yet right now, she couldn't find a scrap of strength in her body.

What the hell was this?

That thought imdiately dragged up Ningguang's jab at the Ministry of Civil Affairs—

"I heard you train with the sword all the ti. So where did that training go?"

Keqing's expression tightened. She ground her teeth. "Ningguang-san is unbelievable."

Ryou blinked, completely lost.

What does him feeding her have to do with Ningguang?

"Keqing, open up." Ryou offered her another bite.

"Mm." Keqing obediently bit down.

He fed her like that for nearly half an hour. Once he was basically done eating, he took her hand and led her toward his room.

As they walked, he said casually, "Keqing, rember how my father wanted to go into business?"

"Yeah, I rember." Keqing didn't know why he brought it up, but after seeing everything Ryou had done today, she hugged his arm and spoke softly. "Good thing you didn't agree. Otherwise your talent would've gone to waste. Having you at the Ministry of Civil Affairs is like putting wings on a tiger. Even if you took my seat as one of the Qixing… I'd be willing."

Ryou froze for a second, then gave a dry laugh. "Let's not talk about your seat."

He cleared his throat and continued, "What I an is—back then, I visited a lot of shops. I noticed clothing stores have huge profit margins, so my father told to spend a month checking every clothing store in Liyue."

He squeezed her hand, sounding very businesslike. "So I know this stuff well. In a minute, you put on the qipao, and I'll check the quality for you. And whether it actually fits."

Keqing stopped short.

She thought he was about to talk about sothing serious.

And after all that… he just wanted her to go change clothes?

Keqing instinctively looked up, cheeks burning. "But… it isn't even dark yet."

"Keqing, what are you talking about?" Ryou said, dead serious. "This is business. Can you stop letting your mind run off in weird directions?"

He waved a hand like it was obvious. "And what does 'dark' have to do with anything? If I blow out the lamp, then even if it's bright outside, this room has to be pitch-black."

Keqing's face turned even redder.

Seriously—why was he in such a hurry?!
