Capítulo 1458: Chapter 1457: I’ll Listen to You

Ye Qiu doesn’t bother with class affairs; as long as the class representatives discuss and organize things, it’s fine. After all, it’s best for those class representatives this way; neither the class president nor the advisor interferes, allowing them to develop their skills.

Ye Qiu walks down from the classroom; there are still two classes until lunchtime. As he thinks about whether to visit the gaming company, his phone rings; it’s a call from Ling Fei.

Last night, Ling Fei went back to talk with her father about tearing down the old house and building a new one. Ling Zhengwei didn’t have any objections; he had long wanted it demolished and rebuilt. On one hand, new houses are more comfortable, and on the other, they’re built higher, which leads to greater compensation in the event of demolition.

The problem is, he doesn’t have that much money. The money he’s saved over the years is probably just enough to lay the foundation.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing that Dr. Ye is willing to pay for it upfront, Ling Zhengwei feels a bit embarrassed.

He can see that Ye Qiu is wealthy and gets along well with his daughter. If the two end up together in the future and Ye Qiu is willing to finance the new house, it would be a win-win if there were no conflicts between them.

However, there’s the fear that if they don’t end up together later on, and suddenly asking Ling Fei for that money back becomes complicated.

Over the phone, Ling Zhengwei made things clear to Ling Fei, asking her to think it through herself.

Ling Fei understands her father’s concerns but knows that Ye Qiu isn’t that kind of person; even if they don’t stay together in the future, Ye Qiu wouldn’t care about that amount of money, though she and her father think over a million is a lot.

“Ling Fei, what did your dad say?” Ye Qiu asked.

“Are you in class?” Ling Fei asked quietly from the other side.

“No, I just finished class, and the next two are study periods.”

“Then I’ll come find you.”

Some things are hard to explain over the phone, so Ling Fei feels it’s better to discuss clearly with Ye Qiu in person.

After Ye Qiu tells Ling Fei the location, she arrives shortly, wearing another dress. Ye Qiu asks, “Is this dress another one your dad bought for you in East Sea?”

“Yes, my dad bought it.”

The pink dress looks quite nice.

This probably wasn’t chosen by Ling Zhengwei himself but by a female colleague from his past training sessions with him.

“Not bad, it looks great.”

A dress costing hundreds or thousands and having such quality and design is already very decent.

As Ye Qiu and Ling Fei walk towards the area near Xuanwu Lake, Ling Fei occasionally glances at Ye Qiu, noticing that while he remains the same, yet there seems to be something slightly different about him every day.

“What did your dad just say?”

“My dad said he has no objection to tearing down the house and building a new one; he leaves the decision to me, just worries about the future.”

“Worries about what in the future?”

“He’s afraid if we don’t end up together, and suddenly if you ask me to return the million, we wouldn’t know where to find it.” Ling Fei said quietly and a bit shyly.

So that’s the issue; clearly, the money is significant for them. Especially for Ling Zhengwei, whose monthly salary is only two or three thousand; over a million is indeed like a giant boulder weighing on him, making him anxious.

Moreover, if asked to pay back over a million in cash at once, not only him, but most ordinary people wouldn’t be able to handle it.

But for Ye Qiu, it’s nothing at all.

“This money is nothing to me. Even if it turns out as you said, I can just consider it as a gift to you.”

“How can that be?” Ling Fei said.

“Isn’t it because of you?”

Ling Fei blushed upon hearing that.

Of course, she feels like she’s Ye Qiu’s person; after all, it was Ye Qiu who saved her during an attempted suicide and a car accident at the school gate. Otherwise, she’d be in another world by now.

When Ye Qiu held her waist, he said: “Don’t feel burdened, this amount is just pocket money to me. Ask your dad when to pick a date, and then arrange to move out the important things, leaving the rest for disposal. Once the new house is built, you can buy new furniture. Of course, if those around you want to sell their properties, I can also buy them for you.”

After all, the current place is only about forty square meters, which is too small; Ye Qiu’s master bedroom in the villa is much larger.

If this forty square meters included a small living room and two rooms, there wouldn’t be any space left.

It’s just too small.

If the area could reach over eighty square meters, that would be perfect.

“Around here? I’m afraid these people wouldn’t want to sell. They think demolition will eventually happen and they’ll get a large compensation.”

“Then I am essentially giving them a compensation payout in advance; your dad should ask personally though, otherwise, I’m worried there might be conflicts during the demolition.”

In the countryside, people are easily envious. But in these urban villages transitioning from rural to urban areas, it’s the same; without prior agreement, sudden demolition and rebuilding might lead to tensions with neighbors.

“Ye Qiu, I will talk to my dad.” These matters are best clarified by Ling Zhengwei himself.

“Let your dad sort these out in the coming days, not only for you but to reconcile your parents, which is the important second step.”

“Alright, I understand, Ye Qiu, thank you.” Ling Fei said, looking at Ye Qiu.

“What’s there to thank for?”

Ye Qiu gently hugged her and kissed her on the lips briefly, making Ling Fei feel slightly dizzy and weak-kneed. It was her first time being kissed by a man like that by Ye Qiu; she found it overwhelming.

As she realized Ye Qiu was standing there looking at the water of Xuanwu Lake, Ling Fei snapped out of it and felt she might have been overly sensitive.

But now her heart is with Ye Qiu, because she feels that Ye Qiu can make decisions for her and solve her problems, giving her a strong sense of security.

While leaning against Ye Qiu, he said: “That’s about it for this matter. I might be going with my classmates to Lianyungang for a spring trip on Friday evening; I won’t have time then.”

It’s already Wednesday today, and Friday will arrive quickly.

A spring trip?

This must be a class event.

“Are you driving yourself?”

“No, it’s too far, we should be taking a bus; do you want to come?”

“This is your class’s activity, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to intrude.”

Now, Ling Fei wants to go wherever Ye Qiu goes, but she’s too shy to follow him to a class event.

From here to Lianyungang is indeed a bit far, with one in the south and the other in the north of Jiangnan Province, and taking a bus makes her less inclined to go.
