Chapter 725: Chapter 0726: Louise Becomes Aloof [Second Update]

After attending tonight’s banquet, Zhou Wenting was already very tired. She had thought that Louise would stay with her tonight and share a room, but what she didn’t know was that Louise had left less than half an hour after going out and then had not returned.

Was she going to sleep alone again tonight?

Zhou Wenting certainly didn’t dare.

Thinking of the skeletal heads, the white-haired bats, and the screams that night made Zhou Wenting too afraid to sleep here alone.

Dressed in her robe, Zhou Wenting hurriedly made her way to Ye Qiu’s guest room.

After knocking on the door and entering, she saw Ye Qiu standing by the window looking out at the castle.

"Why did you come over?" he asked.

"Louise suddenly left for some reason, leaving me to sleep alone there. I was scared, and besides, I have many questions to ask you!" Zhou Wenting said.

As she said this, she felt angry. Ye Qiu spoke French very fluently, yet he had not told her; had it not been for tonight’s dinner where Ye Qiu conversed directly in French with the guests, Zhou Wenting would have never known that he spoke French.

Ye Qiu turned his attention away from the window and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"You clearly speak French, why did you lie to me?"

"When did I lie to you? You never asked me whether I could speak it or not."

"But you?"

Zhou Wenting had never actually asked Ye Qiu if he spoke French. She had just assumed that he did not, and Ye Qiu, feigning ignorance, let Zhou Wenting believe she was accompanying him to be his translator, making her feel important!

"It was all for your sake, to make you feel important for coming with me."

Ye Qiu said with a laugh.

At that moment, Zhou Wenting began to understand.

"Then why didn’t you continue to pretend during the banquet and nearly made me lose face?"

"Why so many questions? Sleep early; tomorrow we will visit the Eastern Castle."

...

Ye Qiu lay on the soft, cushy bed, not continuing his cultivation practices but instead lying there, thinking about Louise’s departure.

Although he knew that Louise had some reasons for her actions, calling her a scheming woman might indeed have wounded her.

Ye Qiu acknowledged that he still couldn’t forget the hurt Su Luoluo from the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical World had caused him, and that was why he was so wary of other women.

He knew he had wronged Louise tonight.

"What are you thinking about?"

Inheriting the body of this Ye Qiu, going from having nothing to now being a billionaire with a castle and a 100,000-square-meter estate, might be what many people dream of for a lifetime, but Ye Qiu, having easily obtained this, didn’t feel that sense of fulfillment.

Was it because he naturally had high status in the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, or was it for some other reason?

Ye Qiu didn’t know.

But he knew that since coming to this world, there weren’t many things that made him happy, perhaps none at all.

"It’s nothing," Ye Qiu said.

Zhou Wenting stayed close to Ye Qiu, very close, as that was the only way she felt secure enough.

However, Ye Qiu’s performance at the dinner party tonight had left Zhou Wenting increasingly puzzled about him.

Early the next morning, at seven thirty Paris time, the maid knocked on the door punctually, and when Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting awoke, Ye Qiu was very refreshed, but Zhou Wenting seemed to have not had enough sleep, mainly because she had gone to bed too late last night.

However, sleeping in Ye Qiu’s arms last night, she had slept soundly and hadn’t had any nightmares.

When Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting got up, Ye Qiu did not wear the suits provided but instead wore his own ordinary clothes that he had brought with him.

Zhou Wenting also wore the dress she had brought, which, although not as pretty and the material not as fine, was comfortable to wear. Moreover, today Zhou Wenting knew that she and Ye Qiu would be leaving this place to head to the northwest of France to see for herself Ye Qiu’s Eastern Grand Castle and that one hundred thousand square meter estate.

When it came time to leave this place, there wasn’t a trace of reluctance in Zhou Wenting’s heart, for this place had always frightened her.

As for whether she would come back here in the future, Zhou Wenting did not know.

After the two got dressed and washed up, they followed the two young maids downstairs, and when they came down, Ye Qiu caught sight of Count Charley, Butler Ivan, and Louise.

Ye Qiu had thought Louise had been driven away by him last night, but unexpectedly, she was back now.

And somehow, she seemed even more beautiful than before!

Weren’t these the same lingerie and long dress that Ye Qiu had designed the night before?

Now they were already on Louise so quickly?

They were indeed made to fit Louise’s figure, and now she looked like Snow White from a fairy tale.

"Louise, you look so beautiful!"

After greeting Count Charley, Zhou Wenting went over to admire Louise.

Looking over the long dress, the more she looked, the more familiar it felt, and soon she knew that this was the long dress and lingerie that Ye Qiu had designed last night.

It was truly stunning, feeling even more breathtaking than the design itself when worn!

"Thank you," Louise said reservedly.

Louise only glanced at Ye Qiu, seemingly returning to the same distance as when she first met him.

However, for Ye Qiu, the colder others were to him, the colder he became, whether it was to other young ladies or to Louise in front of him. After a glance at Louise, he didn’t look again, but turned to Count Charley and asked, "Count Charley, where are the other guests?"

Ye Qiu knew that some guests had stayed the night before.

"Some guests left last night, some left this morning, and others are still resting," Count Charley said.

But now, Count Charley did not send maids to awaken those guests, because he already knew that Ye Qiu would definitely be leaving and would not stay.

From Ye Qiu’s behavior towards Louise last night, Count Charley was very clear.

Ye Qiu sat down between Louise and Zhou Wenting, and, one after another, the chef brought over the same rich variety of morning tea as yesterday.

But today, Count Charley was not like before, silent during the meal, instead he asked, "Doctor Ye, are you really leaving?"

"Count Charley, I am indeed leaving, since I need to return to college soon," Ye Qiu said.

It was now mid-August, and by the end of the month, Ye Qiu would need to participate in the military training for new students, which might last a month.

Now he planned to first visit the castle and estate, then shop in Paris, and fly directly back to Jinling.
