Chapter 46 - 43: Ye Qiu Is Not Ordinary
CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 43: YE QIU IS NOT ORDINARY
Ye Qiu shook his head, thinking he had been recognized.
"Ye Qiu..."
Just as Ye Qiu was contemplating whether to leave, Luo Bing’s voice sounded from behind. In an instant, Ye Qiu caught a whiff of fragrant breeze, and soon saw Luo Bing’s worried face. She hurried over to him and asked anxiously, "Ye Qiu, are you alright? How is Yang-ge going to pursue you?"
"Uh?" Ye Qiu looked helplessly at Luo Bing, then glanced at Situ Yang.
Situ Yang shook his head and smiled, "Bing’Er, in this matter it was Situ Xin’s fault from the beginning. After I cleared things up, I didn’t pursue Ye Qiu any further."
"Really?" Luo Bing was delighted to hear it. Situ Yang nodded, and Ye Qiu nodded too, "Indeed."
Luo Bing sighed in relief, then looked towards the approaching Luo Yun and called out, "Dad, this is Ye Qiu."
After speaking, she glanced at Ye Qiu, her face slowly turning red before lowering her head.
"What’s going on?"
Luo Yun, who hurried over, heard Luo Bing’s words, glanced at Ye Qiu, and simply nodded before passing by Ye Qiu, heading over to Situ Yang to inquire.
Situ Yang smiled and said, "Nothing happened, Uncle. It was Situ Xin who was immature. No one else is to blame."
"Is that so, as long as everything is fine, everything is good." Luo Yun felt relieved, then turned around to look at Ye Qiu, who stood between a height of 175, wasn’t strikingly handsome but looked clean and delicate, dressed quite ordinarily.
"Is this the boy my daughter likes? Doesn’t seem outstanding at all?"
After scrutinizing Ye Qiu, Luo Yun pondered, he couldn’t understand why his daughter, who always aimed high, would fancy someone as ordinary as Ye Qiu.
Although Luo Yun didn’t look down on Ye Qiu based on appearance and dressing, he couldn’t help but compare Ye Qiu with Situ Yang in his mind.
"Situ Yang is from the Situ family in Shangjing and is himself a professional racing driver, already a three-star Bronze Chariot King at a young age, with an unlimited future ahead.
But this Ye Qiu? I’ve heard he’s Bing’s classmate, still a student?
Judging by his dressing, his family might not be wealthy? Moreover, I’ve heard he came today for a driver’s license evaluation?
He’s quite old but still doesn’t have a driver’s license, so even if he becomes a professional driver, his future achievements may not be that high."
After comparing Ye Qiu and Situ Yang in his mind, Luo Yun increasingly felt that his daughter Luo Bing was unsuitable for Ye Qiu and that she and Situ Yang were a match made in heaven.
With this thought, when he looked at Ye Qiu, his demeanor grew slightly cold, and he asked sternly, "Are you Ye Qiu, my daughter Bing’s classmate?"
Although Ye Qiu was only seventeen, almost eighteen years old, growing up in the United States and having endured a year of being mocked by the outside world, when he saw the expression in Luo Yun’s eyes towards him, he could keenly sense certain things.
Moreover, seeing Luo Bing blushing and not daring to look at him, he furrowed his brows momentarily, but facing Luo Yun’s inquiry, he still nodded and said, "Yes, I’m Ye Qiu, Luo Bing’s classmate."
"Oh, how are your academic grades at school? Which university do you plan to apply for? Moreover, seeing you come for a driver’s license evaluation today, I suppose you like racing and aspire to be a professional racer. How is your current level?"
Ye Qiu furrowed his brows hearing Luo Yun’s words that resembled an interrogation, while Luo Bing also chided Luo Yun, "Dad, don’t scare Ye Qiu."
Luo Yun merely chuckled and said, "I’m just concerned about you. You’re going back to Shangjing to study at Huaxia Academy. And you’ve already become a B-level driver. If you wish to become a professional driver in the future, the prospects are unlimited, so Dad must be strict about the boy you choose."
Saying this, Luo Yun looked at Ye Qiu and smiled slightly, "Ye Qiu, you haven’t answered my question yet?"
If Ye Qiu still didn’t understand what Luo Yun meant at this moment, he would be really foolish.
He knew Luo Yun was revealing Luo Bing’s background, prompting him to back off. Though he didn’t understand what relationship he had with Luo Bing.
Why did he feel like Luo Yun was interrogating potential future son-in-law’s details?
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu glanced at the blushing Luo Bing beside him, pondered momentarily, then told Luo Yun, "I’m just classmates with Luo Bing. We might not attend the same school in the future, but I will become an outstanding professional racing driver."
After speaking, Ye Qiu nodded at the surprised Luo Bing beside him and then turned to leave.
As he passed by Luo Yun, he saw a glance of disappointment in Luo Yun’s eyes, but he didn’t care. He never intended anything to happen between him and Luo Bing, and in his heart, there could only be one person.
"Ye Qiu, wait for me... I still need to introduce you!"
Wang Xinrui, witnessing the conversation between Luo Yun and Ye Qiu, guessed what was happening. Although unhappy seeing Ye Qiu being looked down upon by Luo Yun, for some reason, she felt glad to see Ye Qiu didn’t seem to have any intentions with Luo Bing.
Hence, after Ye Qiu left, she called out and went to catch up with Ye Qiu, and as she passed Luo Yun, her steps paused, she hesitated, and said to Luo Yun, "Uncle Luo, Ye Qiu is actually quite remarkable. He’s not as ordinary as he seems on the surface..."
After speaking, Wang Xinrui saw Ye Qiu walking far away, shouted for Ye Qiu to wait for her, and went to chase him along with Wang Jie.
"Remarkable?" Luo Yun shook his head, he was very dissatisfied with Ye Qiu’s performance just now. Initially, he said those words to test Ye Qiu’s reaction.
Even if Ye Qiu passionately assured him, how he would work hard in the future, he would consider whether to let Luo Bing date Ye Qiu.
But he didn’t expect Ye Qiu to directly give up?
He believed Ye Qiu’s performance just now clearly showed awareness of the future gap between him and Luo Bing, feeling inferior, and thus giving up.
He was utterly disappointed with Ye Qiu at this moment, increasingly feeling that a boy lacking the courage to pursue a girl doesn’t deserve his daughter.
Furthermore, he scoffed at Ye Qiu’s claim of becoming a distinguished racer in the future; after all, Ye Qiu was quite old and still didn’t have a driver’s license, even if he started practicing diligently now, his future achievements would be limited...
"Oh Bing, how could you fancy such a boy?"
Soon after, Luo Yun looked at Luo Bing, who was dazedly watching Ye Qiu leave, sighed internally, and was about to say something to her, but noticed an envelope dropped on the ground where Ye Qiu had been standing.
"What’s this?" Luo Yun wondered, bent down to pick it up, and looking at the somewhat old envelope, he felt a sense of familiarity.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Yun couldn’t resist curiosity and opened the envelope. However, upon seeing the lines of words on the letter paper inside, the hand holding the envelope began trembling.
Moreover, upon seeing the letter was signed Ye Xiong, the entire person felt as if struck by lightning, dumbstruck in place.
