While I am in Reality, I Can Enter the Singularity Universe

62: Chapter 62 The Golden Age is About to Begin! An Lei Joins the Eastern [Mysterious Department]!”Hmph, a man’s mouth is a lying devil. I clearly remember last 520, someone didn’t even send me flowers!”

Little Princess slapped away Director An Lei’s hand and pouted.

”Ah... Luo Qi, you still remember last 520? I just forgot because I was on an emergency mission. Next year on 520, how about I send you a truckload of flowers?”

Director An Lei scratched his head, feeling slightly embarrassed.

”I don’t eat flowers, why would you send a truckload?”

”However, you must remember what you said today. You must remember to send me flowers next 520!”

”Otherwise, hmph, hmph!”

Little Princess revealed her little fangs and pinched the flesh on Director An Lei’s waist.

”Little Princess, I will certainly obey your command!”

Seeing Director An Lei saluting with such seriousness, a glint of cunning flashed in Luo Qi’s eyes.

Immediately, she said with a straight face: ”Alright, I won’t joke with you anymore. I’ll call my grandfather and ask him. The old man should have a better way to deal with this.”

After Director An Lei nodded, he saw Little Princess take out her phone, open the special dedicated line, and input a long string of numbers.

Beep, beep—the call went through.

”Hello, Xiao Qi, have you finally remembered to call this old man?”

The sound of an old man’s weathered laughter came from the other end of the line.

Little Princess said coquettishly: ”Grandfather, didn’t I just go back to see you and Grandmother last weekend? How could I forget?”

”Oh, look at my memory, I’m getting more muddled as I get older. It’s only been a few days and I’ve already forgotten.”

The old man laughed heartily, and his tone returned to calm: ”Xiao Qi, did you call grandfather on this special line because you encountered some trouble?”

”Has someone bullied my granddaughter? Is it that brat, Director An Lei?!”

Nearby, Director An Lei heard everything clearly, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

”Grandfather, don’t talk nonsense. Director An Lei and I are doing great, how could he bully me?”

Little Princess covered her mouth and laughed when she saw Director An Lei’s reaction.

Then, she put the phone receiver to her mouth and repeated what Director An Lei had said to the old man in a low voice.

The other side of the phone was silent for a long time, then the old man spoke again: ”Xiao Qi, Director An Lei is by your side, right? Hand the phone to him.”

”Okay, Grandfather.”

Little Princess handed the phone to Director An Lei, her eyes filled with a hint of encouragement.

The two had been dating for almost a year, but they hadn’t met each other’s parents yet, so this could be considered their first conversation.

”Hello, Grandfather, how are you? I am Director An Lei, I am... uh, Luo Qi’s boyfriend.”

Director An Lei was slightly nervous, and in his strict choice of words, he almost forgot who he was to Luo Qi.

The old man said half-jokingly: ”What’s good about it? You’ve stolen my precious granddaughter away, how can I be good?”

Director An Lei raised his palm and promised: ”Grandfather, Luo Qi and I are truly in love, I will definitely not let her down.”

”Heh heh, good lad. Remember what you said, otherwise, this old man will bring a cane over and beat you up!”

The old man smiled as he finished, then his tone turned slightly solemn: ”Is what you said true?”

”Grandfather, it’s true!”

”Very well. Since you, Director An Lei, have taken the initiative to speak up, I won’t beat around the bush with you.”

The old man’s weathered voice carried a sense of solemnity:

”At present, Transcendent events are no longer a secret. As time passes, the number of times Transcendents cause trouble will increase.”

”Yesterday, there were many discussions in Yanjing about responding to Transcendent evolution. After the various Families expressed their positions, the East decided to establish a ’Mysterious Department’!”

”This Mysterious Department only takes orders from the highest level and possesses a high degree of internal autonomy. Since you have become a [Destined One], you should also be the only person within our ranks currently capable of contacting the ’Inner World,’ which gives you a great advantage. I imagine that with a little bit of this old man’s reputation, I should be able to secure a good position for you.”

”...Join that Mysterious Department?”

Director An Lei was shocked, but then he scratched his head, ”Grandfather, isn’t this too much trouble for you?”
