Chapter 880: Chapter 0880: Asking for Leave

Liu Lingxiu had never been exposed to ballroom dancing before, so she clearly didn’t know how to dance. She just followed Ye Qiu in the crowd, the two of them simply moving to the rhythm briefly.

But soon enough, Liu Lingxiu lost interest. When Ye Qiu took her hand and led her away from the crowd, heading toward the Xuanwu Lake, they planned to take a stroll outside and then go back to rest.

The two of them removed their masks and exchanged smiles. Ye Qiu said, "Lingshow, you’re quite the adorable little bunny!"

"I am NOT a little bunny."

"Your parents’ supermarket opened up. I checked it out—it seems to be doing fine."

Liu Lingxiu had been spending all her time at Jin University Campus, so she wasn’t very aware of her parents’ supermarket situation. However, since Ye Qiu said so, it certainly had to be true.

After walking quite a distance, Liu Lingxiu asked, "Are you heading to France tomorrow?"

"I still need to get my visa first. My previous visa has expired, so tomorrow morning, I’ll head to the East Sea first."

Liu Lingxiu really wanted to go with him, but now that classes were starting, it was impossible. Even if she got her passport ready, it wouldn’t make a difference. She would only be able to travel with Ye Qiu during winter or summer breaks.

While the two were chatting outside, at the masked ball venue in the plaza, Su Luoluo grew more determined to find the person she had lost in the past.

Just when she decided to go look for Ye Qiu, a bodyguard told her that Ye Qiu had already left.

Su Luoluo looked visibly disappointed!

However, it was already 11 P.M., and for her own safety, plus the fact that she needed to go back to rest, she had no choice but to leave with four of her bodyguards.

...

Ye Qiu escorted Liu Lingxiu back to the dorm building for female students before heading toward his own car.

Once he got into the car, Ye Qiu drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Upon reaching the community, he parked the car and called Zhou Wenting. "Wenting, what are you up to?"

"You jerk, you’ve been back so long and haven’t even bothered to reach out to me!"

During this period, Ye Qiu had barely visited the Affiliated Hospital, and naturally hadn’t contacted Zhou Wenting.

Other than the incident with Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group being robbed, where Zhou Wenting had called him briefly, the two hardly kept in touch.

"I’ve been really busy—just finished military training recently."

"Forget it. When are you going to France?"

"Tomorrow I’ll head to the East Sea for my visa. Are you coming or not?"

"Of course I’m coming."

Zhou Wenting had returned from France in the first place because of Ye Qiu’s medical skills. As for the Affiliated Hospital, it was merely a title she held, not a core work location.

"Let’s talk more tomorrow when we meet."

Ye Qiu then hung up the phone.

Just as Zhou Wenting still had something to say, she realized this jerk had already ended the call.

Ye Qiu finished showering, returned to his room, and continued cultivating the Primordial Five Emperors Technique until about 8 A.M. the next morning. After waking up, he washed up and went downstairs, only to find that his parents and sister had most likely gone back to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant again.

Currently, Ye Weidong must be even busier than before—a mix of handling both the main restaurant and the mountain estate branch situation.

"Dad, are you still planning to go to France?"

Ye Qiu asked Ye Weidong over the phone.

"I’m swamped. We’ll talk about it later!"

The primary reason was that Ye Weidong was also afraid of flying—he’d much prefer traveling overseas by ship than by airplane.

As things stood, it was impossible for Ye Weidong to go. If he wasn’t going, then Chen Fang wouldn’t go either.

On the other hand, Ye Xue wanted to go, but she personally needed to oversee the finances of the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant to feel reassured. Neither Ye Weidong nor Chen Fang felt comfortable delegating this responsibility to someone else.

So, Ye Xue couldn’t go either.

As for Zhao Ruxue and Zhao Rubing, Zhao Ruxue had work obligations, and no one knew if Zhao Rubing wanted to go or not.

Ye Qiu initially intended to call Zhao Rubing, but after thinking about Zhao Ruxue, he ultimately decided against it. Instead, he planned to go with Zhou Wenting.

Though he didn’t need Zhou Wenting as a translator, he felt that without her, something seemed to be missing.

After breakfast in the restaurant, Ye Qiu called his counselor Song Ying.

"Ye Qiu, what’s the matter?"

Song Ying was already awake.

It was mainly because she was also an English teacher. If she had the first English class of the day, she would get up early to prepare.

"Counselor, I need to apply for leave to go to France—maybe for half a month, or at most, a month and a half!"

"What? You want leave for that long? Come back and explain this to me properly! Plus, you’ll need approval from the department and university leadership. I can only approve two days at most!"

As a counselor, Song Ying knew she could authorize a two-day leave for Ye Qiu, but anything longer would have to be approved by the dean and school administrators. After all, if anything happened to Ye Qiu while he was off-campus, the school could not take on the responsibility.

Ye Qiu hadn’t anticipated such a hassle.

"Forget it. I’ll just head to the East Sea this morning to handle the visa, and I might fly to France this afternoon!"

"You!"

Song Ying wanted to keep questioning him, but realized Ye Qiu had already hung up.

It was obvious that Ye Qiu was unlike other students. He was simply not the type to methodically attend classes day in and day out.

Moreover, Ye Qiu believed his own matters were far more important than staying at school. The grape harvest season in Europe was happening right now. If he missed it, those grapes would go to waste. And even if harvested late, the wine made from them wouldn’t taste as good.

Song Ying could only call Ye Qiu back and say, "Ye Qiu, you need to explain things clearly to me, or I can’t take responsibility."

"Counselor, I have to inspect my vineyard in France. When I come back, I’ll gift you a bottle of wine!"

"What vineyard?"

Song Ying couldn’t quite process this. She genuinely didn’t believe that Ye Qiu—a Huaxia native—owned vast vineyards and a large castle in France.

"You’ll see when I return. Or I could send you some photos!"

"But how can I officially apply for your leave?"

Song Ying was completely flummoxed.

"Just tell them I’m a Viscount in France, and I need to go back to inspect my castle and vineyard!"

Viscount?

Song Ying was even more baffled!

She absolutely didn’t believe a single word of what Ye Qiu was saying.

Before she could process this further, Ye Qiu had already hung up the phone on her.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wenting called Ye Qiu, saying, "Ye Qiu, I’m at my mother’s villa."

"I’ll come and pick you up."

Ye Qiu drove to Wang Yulian’s villa. When he arrived, Wang Yulian and Zhou Wenting were already waiting for him.

"Doctor Ye, you’re here. Have you had breakfast yet?"

Wang Yulian asked.

"Auntie, I’ve already eaten."

As Ye Qiu entered the villa and sat down on the sofa in the living room, a housekeeper brought him a cup of hot tea.

Of course, Wang Yulian didn’t expect that Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting were planning to head to France yet again.

Last time, when the two encountered criminals onboard the plane, it had scared Wang Yulian greatly. Under normal circumstances, she certainly wouldn’t want her daughter to fly to France again.
