Chapter 454 - Staying Again Tonight
Chapter 601 of "City's Best Divine Doctor" begins the action: The real estate agent quickly selected several apartments suitable for Liu Xia and Xiao Hong... Discover the next part!
The real estate agent quickly selected several apartments suitable for Liu Xia and Xiao Hong to live in, with monthly rents ranging from ten thousand to twelve thousand yuan.
Upon hearing such high rents, both women dared not even think about it.
In their view, paying so much rent each month would be better spent buying a house. Of course, Liu Xia knew that this month alone, with her base salary plus commissions and bonuses from selling a few Mercedes cars, her salary should exceed ten thousand yuan. However, she had no idea about the next month.
Liu Xia still found it too expensive, but Ye Qiu had already made the decision for her.
Liu Xia was somewhat happy, but she also felt somewhat uneasy.
"Mr. Ye, these few options meet your requirements," the agent said.
Ye Qiu reviewed the information on those apartments; they were all in large residential complexes with ample space and serene environments, conveniently located by a bus route for commuting.
Additionally, there were vegetable markets inside and outside the complex, making it quite convenient.
It was now past six in the evening, and according to the agent, he might take clients to view houses as late as eight or nine oâclock at night.
"Itâs late now. Letâs go see the apartments tomorrow," Ye Qiu said.
"Sure, Mr. Ye, just give me a call tomorrow with your friend," the agent replied.
The agent handed his business card to Ye Qiu, who took it, noted it down, and then, along with Liu Xia and Xiao Hong, was personally escorted out by the agent.
It was not until he saw Ye Qiu driving away in the Mercedes AMG that he noticed the license plate on the car!
Jiang A99099, the highest-priced license plate in Jiangnan Province, was on this car.
Could this young man be the one who bid for that license plate?
If that was true, the agent thought highly of this young man.
As Ye Qiu drove away, Liu Xia asked, "Ye Qiu, do you really want to rent such an expensive apartment?"
Ye Qiu nodded.
"But we canât afford it," Liu Xia said.
Let alone a monthly rent of eight thousand yuan, even five thousand was too much for her to handle.
Although Ye Qiu had said she could pay him back later, when would she ever be able to afford it?
"Dr. Ye, I must say, I donât have that much money. I can only afford up to a thousand yuan," Xiao Hong said.
She knew her situation well; even if she were to benefit from Liu Xiaâs presence and live in such an expensive apartment, she feared she couldnât afford it.
"It doesnât matter," Ye Qiu replied.
Liu Xia and Xiao Hong didnât know what to say, but Xiao Hong was more certain that Ye Qiu had feelings for Liu Xia; otherwise, why would he help Liu Xia like that?
Now Ye Qiu drove away from the real estate agency and arrived at the large restaurant where they had dined a couple of days ago.
At the parking lot of the restaurant, Ye Qiu parked the car, and he, along with Liu Xia and Xiao Hong, went into the restaurant.
The cashier and the waitress at the reception of the restaurant recognized the three when they saw Ye Qiu approaching.
"Sir, would you like a private room?"
"Yes, a private room," Ye Qiu replied.
The waitress led Ye Qiu and the two women into a private room. However, Liu Xia was becoming even more conflicted. She already didnât know how to express her gratitude to Ye Qiu for curing her of her body odor; now, his help left her even more at a loss.
As Liu Xia sat there pondering these matters, Xiao Hong had already taken the menu and started browsing.
Ye Qiu had taken her to enjoy a lavish meal again. Since it was rare for Xiao Hong to have such meals, she naturally wanted to indulge.
"Dr. Ye, can I order anything I like?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong eagerly ordered several seafood dishes she had never tried before because they were expensive.
Liu Xia wanted to stop her but didnât know what to say.
The waitress noted down the ordersâXiao Hong had chosen about eight or nine dishes and two soups. Then, the waitress asked, "Sir, would you like some wine?"
"No," Liu Xia hurriedly said.
She was worried that drinking might affect Ye Qiuâs driving.
As the waitress was about to leave, Ye Qiu said, "Bring over a bottle of red wine as well."
Xiao Hong smiled while Liu Xia glaringly looked at Ye Qiu.
If Ye Qiu drank, they could only let him stay overnight instead of letting him drive back.
When the waitress brought the red wine and glasses, and after the bottle was opened, Xiao Hong tasted half a glass.
Meanwhile, Liu Xia looked at the fragrant red wine but was thinking about other things.
By the time the waitress had brought the rest of the dishes Xiao Hong initially ordered and they finished eating, it was already past eight in the evening.
Xiao Hong had to return to her joint venture factory by nine in the evening. After coming down from the private room, Ye Qiu settled the bill at the front desk; the meal cost almost seven thousand.
However, to Ye Qiu, it wasnât expensive.
After getting into the car with the two women, Ye Qiu drove off, heading back to the village in the city where they lived.
Upon returning to the usual parking spot in the village, Ye Qiu stopped the car. After letting the women out, he prepared to drive back to Jiangbei and planned to return early tomorrow to take them house hunting.
"Ye Qiu, youâve just drunk wine, you canât drive now. Get out of the car," Liu Xia said.
Liu Xia was truly concerned about Ye Qiu; she feared driving under the influence could bring harm to both themselves and others.
Ye Qiu had no choice but to get out, and he walked with Liu Xia and Xiao Hong back to their fifth-floor rental apartment.
After changing into her work uniform and grabbing her bag, Xiao Hong said to Ye Qiu, "Dr. Ye, Iâm going to work now."
Once Xiao Hong left, the narrow, steamy rental room felt like a steamer even though Liu Xia had turned on the large electric fan. The air was still hot, and the breeze from the fan was warm.
In places like this, it was extremely hot in the summer and freezing in the winter.
Liu Xia and Xiao Hong lived here out of necessity.
"Ye Qiu, where are you sleeping tonight?"
"In your room!"
Now the room Liu Xia was staying in had some kind of stench previously, but Ye Qiu had managed to absorb it and then released it onto Ning Le, though he reabsorbed it from Ning Le afterward.
But in the process, a bit of it was still lost.
Now, the room didnât have that unpleasant smell at all.
"Iâll go have a shower first; Iâm really hot after the meal," he said.
Liu Xia gathered her underwear and a set of pajamas, and took them to the bathroom to wash, planning to have a cold shower.
After Liu Xia had cleaned herself, she felt a lot better, but wearing that thin set of pajamas,
knowing that Ye Qiu hadnât brought clothes with him and he would need to shower too, she said, "Ye Qiu, why donât I lend you a set of my worn pajamas for tonight? Tomorrow you can wear this set again. It will probably be dry if we hang it outside the window overnight."
