Chapter 175 Returning to My Alma Mater
After hesitating for a while, Yue Yirou decided to change her phone's ringtone, but after fiddling with it for a bit, she found that she couldn't change it.
She was so angry she wanted to open the car window and throw her phone out.
During the half-hour drive to the Zhou family's house, Yan Ye called her no less than ten times, which annoyed her so much that she didn't even feel like chatting with Xue Ruowei.
Upon arriving at the Zhou family home, Zhou's parents, having heard that Yue Yirou had personally escorted Xue Ruowei, were already waiting at the door with a group of servants and bodyguards.
As soon as the eye-catching black Maybach stopped, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou immediately went to greet it.
The bodyguard got out of the passenger seat, opened the back door, and Xue Ruowei helped Yue Yirou out of the car.
"Mrs. Yan, you must be tired from your journey."
"Madam Yan, welcome to my humble abode."
The entire Zhou family spoke in unison.
Yue Yirou frowned almost imperceptibly; she disliked the Zhou family parents somewhat.
She stood there for a while, and when she saw that the Zhou family only welcomed her and didn't show any appreciation to Xue Ruowei, her expression changed slightly.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw Zhou Xinyu walk over and pull Xue Ruowei into his arms.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
With Xinyu doting on and loving her, Ruowei's days in the Zhou family shouldn't be too difficult.
Forget it, she'd better not say anything, lest her parents blame Ruowei later.
“Master Zhou, Madam Zhou, you are too kind. Although Ruowei and I are mistress and servant, we are like sisters. I hope you can take good care of my sister Ruowei in the future.”
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were somewhat surprised to see how well Yue Yirou treated Xue Ruowei.
Mr. Zhou said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Yan. Once Ruowei enters the Zhou family, she is one of us. We will treat her like our own daughter.”
Mrs. Zhou chimed in, "Young Madam Yan is so good to Ruowei. It's truly a blessing for our Zhou family to have married Ruowei."
Yue Yirou stayed at the Zhou family's house for a while before returning home. Zhou Xinyu wanted to personally escort her back, but she refused.
On the way back, not long after Yue Yirou got into the car, Yan Ye called again.
"Why didn't you let Xinyu bring you back?" Yan Ye's displeased voice came through the phone to her ears.
"Why go through all this trouble? Or is it that all the bodyguards in your Starry Night Pavilion are no match for Doctor Zhou alone?"
"What a joke! Ten Zhou Xinyus are no match for one of my Xingye Pavilion's bodyguards. But... but..." Yan Ye was somewhat speechless.
"Just what?" Yue Yirou asked, suppressing a laugh.
Yan Ye wanted to say that it was just because Zhou Xinyu was smarter and you couldn't fool him, but if he said that, wouldn't it mean that his Xingye Pavilion's bodyguards were reckless brutes?
"It's nothing. If you don't want Zhou Xinyu to deliver it, then you don't have to. But you have to keep the call going until we get back to Starry Night Pavilion."
"..."
If they're still on the phone, how can she see Lu Tingyun?
"Yan Ye, I'm sleepy and want to take a nap. You go ahead and work. I won't bother you anymore."
"If you dare hang up, I'll drop everything and come find you."
He didn't care how much money he lost, or even if he lost everything, all he wanted was her.
If she hadn't insisted that he stay to handle his work, he wouldn't have stayed at Xingye Pavilion at all, leaving her to escort Xue Ruowei to the Zhou family alone.
Yue Yirou was speechless. Why was this man so difficult to deal with?
"I won't hang up. But I'm really sleepy. If I fall asleep, don't blame me for not answering you."
Yan Ye seemed to ponder for a moment before finally asking, "Are you really sleepy?"
"Yes, you should know very well how crazy you were last night." As soon as she said that, Yue Yirou's face turned hot.
In the study of Xingye Pavilion, Yan Ye's handsome lips couldn't help but curl up slightly: "Alright, since you were so well-behaved last night, I'll believe you this once. Go to sleep obediently and don't cause any trouble."
Yan Ye finally hung up the phone.
Seeing the words "end of call," Yue Yirou silently apologized to Yan Ye in her heart.
She had to go see Tingyun and try to persuade him.
When she arrived, she noticed that the road passed right by her university alma mater.
As they approached, Yue Yirou said to the bodyguard and driver in front, "Stop the car up ahead, I want to go back to my alma mater for a visit."
The driver and the bodyguard in the passenger seat were in a dilemma upon hearing this.
"Young Madam, the young master does not allow us to stop midway to let you off."
The bodyguard in the passenger seat turned around and looked at Yue Yirou with a troubled expression.
"It's rare for me to get out of here, I just wanted to take a walk around my alma mater. I'll talk to Yan Ye about it later, and I won't let him blame you."
"But, young mistress..."
"You're worried? There's no need for that. The campus is very safe."
At Yue Yirou's insistence, the driver had no choice but to stop at the school gate.
"Young Madam, let us accompany you inside." The bodyguards were really worried about letting Yue Yirou go in alone.
"No need. If you go in, it will definitely cause a commotion and have a bad influence. You can just wait in the car. I'll be out in a bit, don't worry."
The bodyguard wanted to say something, but Yue Yirou stopped him by raising her hand.
As Yue Yirou walked into the campus alone, the bodyguards looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
They are loyal to the young master, but they don't want to offend the young mistress either!
This is so hard to do!
"What should we do? Should we call and tell the young master?"
"Go ahead and hit him. The young master definitely needs to know about this."
Not long after Yue Yirou went inside, her cell phone rang in her bag.
She knew that the bodyguards must have told Yan Ye about it.
This was expected, and she didn't blame them.
"Yue Yirou, didn't you say you were sleepy? How come you still have the energy to stroll around our alma mater?"
As soon as the call connected, someone's angry roar came through.
Yue Yirou reluctantly moved her phone away a little.
"Yan Ye, I am indeed a little tired, but since I've finally managed to get out of here, I really want to go back to my alma mater. I miss the time I spent here so much, Yan Ye."
Yue Yirou's voice was soft and gentle, yet tinged with sadness. To Yan Ye, it sounded as if she were confiding her innermost thoughts to him.
When did she confide in him about her feelings?
Yan Ye's heart skipped a beat, and his tone softened: "Yi Rou, if you miss your university days, you can tell me. No matter how busy I am, I will drop everything and go back to your alma mater with you, to reminisce about your university days together. You don't need to do this..."
"But if we don't do it this way, I'm worried you won't agree. Yan Ye, do you know how domineering you can be sometimes? I'm afraid that when I'm with you, I might accidentally make you angry again."
"Am I... am I really that bad-tempered?" Yan Ye felt wronged.
"Don't you know whether you have a good temper or not?"
Yan Ye: "..."
Is his temper really that bad?
