Chapter 846: Chapter 0846: All the Good Cabbages Are Taken by Pigs

At around six in the evening, when Wu Shuang announced the end of their activities, Ye Qiu and Luo Yang headed back to the male dormitory. Ye Qiu changed out of his military uniform in the dorm and then took a shower.

When Luo Yang invited Ye Qiu to eat together, Ye Qiu suddenly thought of Xiao Mei.

It had been over a week since he last went to treat Xiao Mei. Originally, he should have visited sooner, but the recent days had been busy with Zhao Ruxue and the case.

"You guys go ahead. I’ve got something else to do."

Ye Qiu left the male dorm and went straight to his Mercedes SUV. After getting into the car, he called Xiao Mei.

Soon, Xiao Mei picked up the phone and asked, "Ye Qiu, where are you?"

"At Jinling University, about to come see you!"

"I just got back to my apartment. Come over!"

Xiao Mei said.

Ye Qiu drove toward Xiao Mei’s apartment complex. When he arrived at the gate near the security booth, he parked his car. The two security guards there recognized this young man, dressed simply but driving a luxury car, coming to find Miss Xiao again.

Ye Qiu walked toward Xiao Mei’s building, took the elevator to her floor, and pressed the doorbell. After a moment, Xiao Mei came to open the door—it was as if she already knew it was Ye Qiu.

When she opened the door, Xiao Mei’s face was covered in sweat.

"The company’s been really busy these days. I just got off work," Xiao Mei said as she led Ye Qiu inside.

After closing the door, Xiao Mei realized that Ye Qiu hadn’t eaten dinner yet. Since she had already eaten at Xingyue Group’s cafeteria, she decided they could head out for a meal together later.

Of course, during Ye Qiu’s first treatment sessions for her, Xiao Mei hadn’t noticed much at first. Gradually, though, over a few days, she felt that her issue was actually improving—it had noticeably reduced in size.

Originally an E cup, she was now a D. While it was less cumbersome than before, Xiao Mei still felt it was too large and continued to attract unwanted attention. She wanted it reduced further—ideally to a B. After all, if she had children in the future, she could always use formula to feed them instead of breastfeeding.

"Ye Qiu, take a seat for a moment. I’ll go change into something else before we head out for dinner."

Xiao Mei went into her master bedroom to change. Shortly thereafter, she came out wearing one of the dresses Ye Qiu had bought for her. Recently, she’d been alternating between these two dresses for work at the company.

Previously, Xiao Mei’s body, including her neck and back, had been heavily marked by birthmarks, making her too self-conscious to wear these kinds of dresses. But since Ye Qiu’s treatments had completely removed the birthmarks, Xiao Mei’s confidence in her appearance had grown, and she no longer worried about others seeing them.

The dress she had on, paired with her natural charm and striking looks, made her even more stunning. If Xingyue Group weren’t a predominantly female corporation, there would likely be a swarm of male admirers vying for Xiao Mei’s attention.

Wearing a pink dress, Xiao Mei stepped out and looked at Ye Qiu. "How do I look?"

"Not bad. Where should we eat?"

Thinking about their last late-night outing that ended up with an encounter with some hooligans, Xiao Mei preferred going somewhere more upscale this time.

"A hotel or a restaurant, either’s fine. How about we get Western food?"

Xiao Mei suggested directly.

She didn’t mind how casually Ye Qiu was dressed. Ever since she first encountered him in the elevator at Xingyue Group, she had grown accustomed to it.

As Ye Qiu and Xiao Mei exited the apartment building and entered the elevator, he casually reached for her hand. Xiao Mei didn’t pull away but felt her cheeks flush slightly.

When they arrived at the gate by the security booth, the two guards watched with envy as Ye Qiu and Xiao Mei got into the car. As they drove off, one security guard sighed, "Good cabbage is always eaten by pigs!"

They wouldn’t dare say this in front of Ye Qiu. However, watching that luxury car carry Xiao Mei away left them brimming with jealousy.

Ye Qiu drove to a nearby Western-style restaurant. After parking the car under the guidance of a security guard, he and Xiao Mei got out. She immediately wrapped her arm around his as they headed in.

Normally, upscale Western restaurants had dress codes, requiring patrons to be in formal attire like branded suits and leather shoes. However, Ye Qiu, dressed plainly, entered with Xiao Mei without paying attention to others’ gazes.

"Sir, Miss, did you make a reservation?"

"No, are there no tables available?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"We still have tables. Please follow me!"

The server led Ye Qiu and Xiao Mei to a table in a corner. Ye Qiu noticed the spot wasn’t ideal, but the ambiance in the restaurant was nice—quiet, elegant, and perfect for couples having dinner dates.

After they were seated, the server handed them menus. Ye Qiu passed his menu to Xiao Mei. She glanced through it and noted that the prices were a bit steep, though still manageable.

"Ye Qiu, what do you want to eat?"

"You order. I just want to eat something filling."

Since she’d already had dinner at Xingyue Group’s cafeteria and wasn’t hungry, Xiao Mei focused on ordering food for Ye Qiu. She chose steak, lamb chops, and borscht.

As for herself, she only ordered a steak.

"Alright, that’s it!"

Xiao Mei handed the menu back to the server.

"Sir, Miss, would you like to order wine?"

"Bring a bottle," Ye Qiu said.

"You need to drive later; you can’t drink," Xiao Mei reminded him, concerned.

If Ye Qiu drank, she’d have to drive. In that case, it’d be better for both of them to skip the wine altogether.

"It’s fine."

After all, what’s a Western meal without wine?

Ye Qiu ordered a mid-range bottle priced at 2,888 yuan. Once the server left, Xiao Mei still appeared a bit worried. Ye Qiu reassured her, "Don’t worry—I’ll be fine after drinking."

The two of them chatted quietly, mostly about Xingyue Group. Xiao Mei’s work had seemingly become much busier lately due to the tremendous increase in the company’s sales.

"So, does that mean Xingyue Group’s fall lingerie collection is dominating Qingcheng Group’s?"

"Not just dominating. I heard that Qingcheng Group produced a large inventory of lingerie, but they can’t sell it now—it’s all sitting in their warehouses, resulting in major losses!"

...

The server returned with the wine and opened it before pouring half a glass into each of their wine glasses.

Ye Qiu took a glass, swirled it, and sniffed the wine’s aroma. He confirmed it was authentic and imported but found the taste disappointingly ordinary. Compared to what he had tasted from Count Charley’s estate or the legendary 1982 Lafite, it fell far short.
