City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1518 - 1517: Controlling the Outcome of the Match
Inside Zhou Xiaolan’s office, apart from her, there were a few female clerks who mostly handled phone calls. Now, seeing Ling Zhengwei holding a bouquet of flowers and wandering outside, they found it amusing.
"Xiaolan, look who’s here?" A female colleague next to Zhou Xiaolan asked.
Zhou Xiaolan was on the phone and hadn’t noticed.
Suddenly hearing her colleague mention it, she looked up, and wasn’t it her ex-husband Ling Zhengwei?
Ling Zhengwei was holding the bouquet of flowers, standing outside the door. What did it mean?
Was he trying to give her flowers?
Zhou Xiaolan felt it was too late!
When she was with Ling Zhengwei before, he didn’t understand a bit of romance. Now that he does, it’s truly late. Zhou Xiaolan paid no attention and didn’t look outside.
As the time neared the end of the workday, more and more printing factory workers saw Ling Zhengwei holding the flowers outside his ex-wife’s office, seemingly guessing Ling Zhengwei’s intentions.
With frequent strange glances and laughter directed at him, Ling Zhengwei could only walk into the office.
Standing in front of Zhou Xiaolan, he awkwardly said, "These are for you."
"I don’t want them. Take them away." Zhou Xiaolan said directly.
Now she had no relationship with Ling Zhengwei.
Ling Zhengwei knew it would be like this.
"I wanted to invite you to dinner."
Zhou Xiaolan said nothing, and Ling Zhengwei didn’t linger, leaving the flowers there and hastily leaving.
After Ling Zhengwei left, a female colleague said, "Xiaolan, your ex-husband has changed, has he learned to be romantic? Look at these lilies, these forget-me-nots, they all mean something."
Zhou Xiaolan looked a bit surprised at the flowers; she never expected this from someone who used to criticize her for dressing fashionably and calling her unprincipled.
Unexpectedly, now he’s giving her these flowers, what does it mean?
But, Ling Zhengwei had already walked far away.
Zhou Xiaolan looked at the bouquet of flowers, she could only sigh.
...
Ye Qiu, Ling Fei, and Xia Tiantian were having a buffet, and Xia Tiantian was very lively, taking whatever tasted good in the hall.
She loved buffets the most, due to the variety, taking whatever she liked, though her mother rarely took her out to eat.
As for when her father was still around, even less so, because he had no time, never taking her out to eat, not even once.
Ling Fei’s phone suddenly rang, showing it was a call from her father.
"Dad, it’s me."
"Xiaofei, I’ve just given your mom some flowers, it was awkward, she didn’t accept them." Ling Zhengwei said from the other side.
Now he was feeling more embarrassed, but strangely, his heart felt much relieved.
Hearing her father’s voice, Ling Fei found it somewhat amusing.
"Dad, that’s for sure, you don’t understand women at all." Ling Fei replied.
How could Zhou Xiaolan possibly accept his flowers?
"Would this be embarrassing?" Ling Zhengwei asked.
"Dad, for a man, what’s the big deal?" Ling Fei said.
After hanging up the phone with her father, Ling Fei shared the story with Ye Qiu, who said, "Looks like your dad still has feelings for your mom, but he hides it deeply and is influenced by past thoughts. He’ll change slowly."
"Ye Qiu, I understand."
That’s how human nature is; before losing something, it seems unimportant, but after losing it, one realizes its previous worth.
Ye Qiu, having absorbed so much soul consciousness, deeply understood this so-called human nature.
After dining with Xia Tiantian and Ling Fei until past seven in the evening, enough for two hours, they left the buffet restaurant and got into the car, with Ye Qiu driving Xia Tiantian home.
After Xia Tiantian returned to her community, Ye Qiu then drove Ling Fei back to the Teacher Training College.
However, Ye Qiu didn’t return to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community right away, but drove to the game company’s entrance, parked the car, and headed to Zhou Shaohui and the other two’s barbecue stand.
Discovering the trio was still not operational, but there were several classmates coming over for taste tests, occasionally offering opinions.
Upon seeing Ye Qiu arrive, they hurriedly greeted him, "Class President, do you want to try the taste?"
Ye Qiu shook his head.
"Seems it’s still not right, this craftsmanship needs more hard work!"
On leaving the barbecue stand, he noticed the nearby stinky tofu shop, although also not operational, smelling the distinct stench from afar.
He knew that Tang Kuangde and the others were definitely testing their stinky tofu there. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
To Ye Qiu, none of this really meant anything.
He went to the game company, chatted with Li Shen and the others for half an hour, then drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
Upon returning, parked the car, went upstairs to shower, then returned to the room, read a book for a while, and prepared for continued cultivation.
Early the next day, Ye Qiu woke up to see a message from Louise, who returned to Paris the previous night, but didn’t call for fear of disturbing his rest.
After freshening up and going downstairs, having breakfast with his parents and sister, he drove to Jin University Campus.
Today the Jin University main team was having a match at the court, which Ye Qiu already knew.
However, for him, going there just to sit and watch was enough.
Now he returned to the classroom, attended a class, and before the second class started, Song Ying hurriedly came to find him.
"The match is about to start, let’s go!"
As Ye Qiu and Song Ying headed to the basketball gym, Song Ying asked, "I heard that Miss Louise came to Jinling, why didn’t we see her?"
"She flew back yesterday, now she’s returned to Paris."
Many people wanted to meet the young lady from the Gauthier family, but unexpectedly, she only stayed with Ye Qiu for a few days before leaving.
"So soon?"
"What did you expect?"
Arriving at the basketball gym, they found many players buying tickets to watch the game, as they weren’t expensive, only twenty yuan each. So whenever possible, they’d come to watch.
Ye Qiu and Song Ying passed through the check, went inside, and saw Coach Li and the players at the court, while the other team’s players had met twice in the preliminary rounds, with one win each for both teams.
However, recently Jin University had been winning by large margins, stealing the spotlight, while the visiting team assumed they might lose this match.
Ye Qiu and Song Ying sat down on the side, then Luo Yang and a few others took time off to come over, bought tickets, and found good seats to watch the game.
Starting at nine-thirty in the morning, the game began, with Jin University initially at a disadvantage, but soon began to lead.
Ye Qiu didn’t need to watch, as his presence ensured control over the match’s result.
However, no one else knew about this.
