Chapter Sixteen: No Door Opening Without a Permit
When she arrived, the gate was locked. After she told the security guard in the guard booth her name and explained why she was there, the guard opened the gate without saying a word. Now that she wants to leave, the guard should open the gate without saying a word again, right?
"Miss Yue, I'm sorry, but without Butler Xue's permission slip, we can't just open the gate and let any animals out," a security guard in the booth replied politely.
Yue Yirou was taken aback: "Release pass? For any animal?"
"Yes, whether it's a person or another animal, a pass is required to leave Starry Night Pavilion. May I ask, Miss Yue, do you have a pass?"
Yue Yirou shook her head speechlessly.
"Since Miss Yue has not issued a clearance slip, please do not make things difficult for us."
Left with no other option, Yue Yirou turned around and went back to find Xue Tao.
Steward Xue is a very humane steward; getting a release slip from him should be an easy task.
Thinking this, Yue Yirou returned to the lobby and saw Xue Tao walking out of the elevator alone, looking somewhat tired.
"Butler Xue." Yue Yirou stepped forward.
"Miss Yue, is there anything you need? Are you hungry?" Before Yue Yirou could speak, Xue Tao glanced at the wall clock and exclaimed, "Oh, it's almost noon! I forgot to have lunch prepared. I'm so sorry, Miss Yue, I'll have someone prepare lunch for you right now."
After saying that, Xue Tao turned to leave.
Yue Yirou hurriedly called out to him, "Butler Xue, I'm not hungry, I just want to ask you to give me a pass."
Xue Tao looked troubled and said, "Miss Yue, I cannot issue travel permits without the young master's permission. As of now, you are not on the list of those on whom the young master has given permission to issue travel permits. In other words, I do not have the authority to issue you travel permits unless the young master authorizes me to do so."
"What?" Yue Yirou was completely stunned, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on her from head to toe, leaving her feeling utterly chilled.
She thought that finding the jade pendant would save her from having to face Yan Ye again.
She thought leaving Starry Night Pavilion would be easier than entering it.
Ha, she's so naive and foolish.
"Miss Yue, I'll go tell the servants to prepare lunch for you." Xue Tao turned to leave again.
"Steward Xue..." A mournful voice echoed softly.
“Miss Yue…” Xue Tao sighed, “Miss Yue, please don’t make things difficult for this old man. I’m just working for the young master, and it’s not easy for me either.”
Xue Tao's voice was also very desolate, with a sense of helplessness and desolation in his tone.
Yue Yirou wanted to continue pleading, but her lips moved and the words remained unspoken.
He was just doing things for Yan Ye; he had his own difficulties, so how could she make things difficult for him?
"Can I call the police, Butler Xue?"
Although Xue Tao was loyal to Yan Ye, he was still kind-hearted. She believed that he would tell her what she could and could not do while in Xingye Pavilion.
"Thank you for your trust, Miss Yue, but I advise you to give up this idea. If you anger the young master, the consequences will be unimaginable and unacceptable to you."
Yue Yirou was completely disheartened. She knew that Xue Tao had not threatened her. If she angered Yan Ye, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it might even implicate Tingyun. With Yan Ye's abilities, he could definitely make them wish they were dead.
The only way to leave this place is to go find Yan Ye.
But if I go to him, what if he...?
No, she needs to find a way to persuade him.
"Butler Xue, what is Mr. Yan doing now? May I go upstairs to see him?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Xue Tao's eyes: "Young Master, we're working right now."
