Chapter 2105: Chapter 2065: Hometown
As Liu Xia was embracing Ye Qiu, Xiao Hong on the sofa watched them with a hint of longing.
She really envied Liu Xia.
Liu Xia used to have body odor, but now the problem was gone, and she found such a great boyfriend too.
"Eat before you come."
When the two walked over to the sofa to sit down, Xiao Hong asked, "Ye Qiu, where are you going for the National Day holiday?"
"Going back home."
Going back home?
Xiao Hong initially thought Ye Qiu was from Jinling, and she hoped to go out with Ye Qiu during the holiday. But thinking again, she realized it was unlikely since Liu Xia had to work overtime during the holiday.
Before Xiao Hong could say anything else to Ye Qiu, Liu Xia had already pulled him upstairs.
All the way until bedtime, they didn’t come downstairs, making Xiao Hong realize they were definitely spending the night up there.
The next morning, Ye Qiu woke up early. Last night, Liu Xia was thoroughly satisfied, and this morning her face appeared rosier and she looked extraordinarily happy.
"Going to school today?"
"Got some things to do at school."
When the two finished washing up and got dressed, they descended the stairs to find Xiao Hong sleeping on the sofa, hugging a teddy bear.
As Liu Xia went to make breakfast, Ye Qiu sat beside Xiao Hong, noticing her slightly visible underwear through her nightgown.
"Hey, you didn’t go back to your room to sleep last night?"
"What does it matter where I sleep alone?"
Anyway, Xiao Hong knew she was still enjoying the benefits of Liu Xia, otherwise she’d still be sleeping in a rented apartment.
When Liu Xia finished making breakfast, Ye Qiu and the two ladies ate it before Ye Qiu prepared to leave.
Liu Xia knew that if it weren’t for having to work, she would have loved to go see Ye Qiu’s hometown, but it looked like she’d have to wait for the next time.
Once they were in the car, Ye Qiu drove towards the Jin University Campus.
Arriving at Jin University, the campus was still filled with the youthful spirit, but Ye Qiu had already experienced it, as he arrived downstairs at the boys’ dormitory.
After parking the car, he didn’t go to the classroom but headed directly to the tech park nearby.
Upon reaching the tech park.
Entering the gaming company, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming were both inside.
"Ye Qiu, you’re here, where are you planning to go this National Day holiday?"
The two always wanted to hang out with Ye Qiu, but never had the time. This holiday, they wanted to make the time.
They thought Ye Qiu would definitely be traveling abroad again.
"This time I’m going home."
Going home?
The two really didn’t know where Ye Qiu’s hometown was; they always thought it was just over in Jiangbei.
"Why are you going back?"
"To sweep some graves, and reconnect with relatives."
Sweeping graves?
Reconnecting with relatives?
The two were even more surprised.
"Can we tag along?"
"Of course, just make sure to handle any company matters."
In Ye Qiu’s view, many things don’t require the boss’s personal attention, otherwise, a company of this size would tire the boss out?
This is why Ye Qiu prefers to play the hands-off role.
"Ye Qiu, how far is your hometown?"
"Two to three hundred kilometers, I think."
Upon hearing this, they felt it was close. If on a highway, it’s just a few hours’ journey.
Ye Qiu chatted with the two for half an hour before confirming plans to leave in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the two were preparing to gather department managers and management for a meeting, including holiday arrangements.
Because it’s a statutory holiday, most people obviously want the day off; otherwise, it’s triple pay, although many prefer not the triple pay.
Of course, plenty don’t fancy going out to crowded places during the holiday.
Anyway, company tasks need to be addressed in advance.
Ye Qiu left the gaming company and headed to a major translation company nearby, where Song Ying was in the office, sipping coffee.
When she saw Ye Qiu approaching, she found it rather odd.
"What’s brought you here today?"
"The thought of you."
"Dummy."
Song Ying laughed.
Closing the door and noting no one else was watching, she suggested, "Why don’t we go to the Maldives during the holiday?"
The clear blue skies and sea over there were always on Song Ying’s wish list.
Ye Qiu looked at Song Ying, and she returned his gaze, wondering if there was anything wrong.
"Sorry, I can’t go with you."
"Why?"
"Because my dad wants me to attend to some matters back home."
"Back home? Isn’t your hometown Jiangbei? Why can’t it be handled quickly?" Song Ying asked with curiosity.
Actually, when it comes to Ye Qiu’s hometown.
He knew there were three places.
"Actually, my hometown consists of three places. One is the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, another is the Capital City, and one is the place I’m going tomorrow."
Three places?
"What nonsense are you talking about, only a ghost would buy that," Song Ying bluntly remarked.
Saying three hometowns when there’s obviously only one.
In Song Ying’s view, it’s just Jiangbei.
Ye Qiu could only chuckle. He knew people tend to be like that; no matter how clever they are, if you tell them the truth, they rarely believe it.
After all, talking about the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau and the Capital City, though Song Ying might know enough to possibly accept the Capital City story, the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau talk sounded like deception to her.
"Women, oh women, when I tell you the truth, you still don’t believe."
"Trying to fool me with ghost stories first thing in the morning, fine if you don’t want to go to the Maldives with me," Song Ying responded, slightly annoyed.
"I’m heading home this afternoon, believe it or not, and others are coming along too."
Observing Ye Qi’s serious demeanor, Song Ying asked, "Are you really going home?"
"Of course, I need to pay respects at my grandfather’s grave."
That explained it.
With this major translation company, some would need to be on duty, while others could have the holiday, and Song Ying was certainly taking the holiday.
"Can I go with you then?"
"Under what name, what identity would you accompany me? Claim you’re my girlfriend?"
"Is Liu Lingxiu accompanying you?"
"Of course."
"Then can I say I’m your teacher?"
Anyway, Song Ying wasn’t bothered by others’ perceptions, plus she had resigned from her professorship and was now the company president.
After discussing it with Song Ying, Ye Qiu left the major translation company and headed towards his car when his phone rang, it was Liu Lingxiu calling.
"Ye Qiu, I’ve asked my homeroom teacher and counselor for leave, I won’t attend the public class this afternoon."
"Then I’ll pick you up in the afternoon, we’ll head back home."
Hearing this, Liu Lingxiu was naturally thrilled.
This was no small matter, considering Father informed her Ye Weidong bought fifty cartons of cigarettes, the number of people to distribute them to was somewhat stunning.
Ye Qiu got into his car, drove off, heading back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
