Chapter 2079: Chapter 2039
Ye Qiu is coming down, let Xiaomai add more dishes tonight.
Xiaomai doesn’t know what’s going on yet, still thinks it’s those young ladies coming over.
Around seven in the evening, Lin Xiang went upstairs to call Ye Qiu down.
"Ye Qiu, you said to add more dishes, is anyone else coming over for dinner?"
"No, I’m just in a good mood today, so I’m adding dishes."
In a good mood?
Xiaomai and Lin Xiang both feel a little puzzled.
After dinner, Ye Qiu went upstairs himself.
Just as he was about to sit down to play on the computer, Ling Fei called.
"Ye Qiu, I want to visit Xia Tiantian. Are you coming along?"
Speaking of which, Ye Qiu hasn’t seen Xia Lan and Xia Tiantian for a long time and doesn’t know how this mother and daughter are doing.
"Then wait at the school gate, I’ll come pick you up."
Ye Qiu still feels somewhat guilty about the death of Xia Tiantian’s father.
Therefore, Ye Qiu treats Xia Tiantian like his own sister now.
Ye Qiu drove to the parking lot of the teachers college and saw Ling Fei, wearing a dress, already waiting there.
When Ling Fei opened the car door and got into the car, Ye Qiu drove away heading towards the neighborhood where Xia Lan and her daughter live.
"Is everything okay in the urban village?"
"No issues. I heard after you taught the village security chief’s son a lesson last time, people in the village act differently towards my dad."
"Those people need to be treated that way, showing fear towards toughness. If your parents get back together, they might still want to bully them."
So that’s it.
Ling Fei now somewhat understands why Ye Qiu insisted on teaching those young men a lesson, especially the village security chief’s son. It’s merely a case of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, letting the other side know the consequences of provoking Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu arrived at Xia Lan’s residential area, parked the car, and along with Ling Fei, went up the elevator to the apartment and rang the doorbell. Soon, the housekeeper opened the door.
The housekeeper has a good impression of Ye Qiu and Ling Fei, and even after a summer without seeing them, she still remembers them clearly.
"Ah, it’s Teacher Ye and Teacher Ling, please come in."
After Ye Qiu and Ling Fei entered, they saw Xia Lan watching television.
Xia Lan was wearing a homely nightgown. Seeing Ye Qiu, she initially felt a bit embarrassed but quickly brushed it off.
"Ye Qiu, Ling Fei, you’ve arrived."
She hasn’t seen these two for a long time, and Xia Tiantian often talks about Ye Qiu and Ling Fei.
After greeting Ling Fei, Xia Lan went to find Xia Tiantian.
Xia Tiantian was in her room reading a book.
Currently, Xia Tiantian is a good student, spending the summer catching up on lessons she previously fell behind in, almost reaching the standard she planned for the third year of middle school, aiming to rely on her abilities to get into Jin University’s affiliated high school.
After Ling Fei entered, Ye Qiu sat down beside Xia Lan, and the housekeeper brought him a cup of tea. Ye Qiu asked, "Is there any issue with the hotel?"
Regarding the Eiffel Hotel Group, Ye Qiu hasn’t been involved for a long time.
Although he was initially given shares, Ye Qiu returned them to Xia Lan; he didn’t want anything.
"There’s no issue, but the competition in the hotel industry is quite intense."
The saying goes: food, clothing, housing, and transportation, hotels fall under housing, carrying significant market value. Now, more companies are joining the industry.
Even several internet companies are trying to get a piece of the pie, leading to considerable competitive pressure.
Currently, Eiffel Hotel focuses on upscale hotel models, targeting wealthy consumers, and Xia Lan doesn’t plan to join ordinary hotels.
But these are work-related matters.
Personally, Xia Lan sometimes feels lonely. Though Xia Tiantian accompanies her after school, Xia Lan is still young.
At just over thirty, does she have to spend her life alone?
Of course, Xia Lan knows she won’t remarry.
It’s not due to feelings towards Xia Tiantian’s father, but considering Xia Tiantian’s feelings.
"You should relax a bit."
"Relax how?"
"Just travel abroad for vacations, that’s spending money after all; money is meant to be spent once earned."
Traveling abroad?
Alone?
Xia Lan truly doesn’t want to.
But many tour groups exist now, and if one feels bored being alone, one can easily join a tour group for trips.
"I don’t want to go alone."
"You can join a tour group!"
"A tour group? I haven’t tried it."
At this time, Xia Tiantian and Ling Fei came out from the room.
With their appearance, Ye Qiu and Xia Lan seemed to regain some of the previously missing aura.
"Ye Qiu, why didn’t you come to see me during summer break?"
"For what? I spent the summer abroad."
Abroad?
"Why didn’t you take me abroad?"
Although Xia Tiantian has refocused and put her energy into studies, she’s still a playful girl.
After all, at thirteen or fourteen years old, that age is still the most fun-loving.
"Maybe next time."
Ye Qiu and Ling Fei stayed to talk with Xia Lan and her daughter for nearly two hours and as it reached after ten in the evening, Ye Qiu needed to take Ling Fei back to school, Xia Lan and Xia Tiantian accompanied them to the door.
At the doorway, Ye Qiu said, "No need to send us."
Xia Lan nodded.
"Contact me anytime if there’s anything."
When Xia Tiantian and Ling Fei were not paying attention, Ye Qiu pinched Xia Lan’s wrist, making her suddenly feel her face flush and heat, with a sensation below as well.
As she hurriedly walked back, Xia Tiantian asked, "Mom, what’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
Xia Lan wonders, why did she react that way?
Did Ye Qiu notice something just now?
After all, since her husband left so long ago, there’s no one else around, and perhaps that’s why she’s often lonely at night.
Reflecting on this, Xia Lan’s face becomes somewhat embarrassed.
Continuously washing with cold water several times, she finally feels she has suppressed that fiery sensation.
Ye Qiu’s medical skills are truly amazing!
He’s able to make her feel satisfied just like that.
Even reaching that satisfying sensation.
As Xia Lan finished showering and came out, the housekeeper found it odd since madam had just taken a bath, wondering why she’s washing again.
However, seeing Xia Lan’s expression now may perhaps be different than just a moment ago.
