406: Chapter 407: Liu Xia’s Call 406: Chapter 407: Liu Xia’s Call When Ye Weidong and Chen Fang got into the car, Ye Qiu handed the red paper with the chosen dates to Ye Weidong.
The best and alternative dates were written clearly on it.
“Dad, mom, where are you planning to go now?”
“We’re going to take a look at the new house.”
Ye Weidong had already seen that the best move-in date was a week later, so he and Chen Fang were going back to the new house to check what was needed.
Li Qianqian got into her car and drove the Beetle toward the Peach Blossom Source Residential Area.
When Ye Qiu drove into the parking garage, he and his parents got out of the car.
As Ye Weidong and Chen Fang entered the lobby, they felt each visit to this place was different.
They both really wanted to move from Jiangbei to here as soon as possible.
It was still early in the afternoon, and Li Qianqian and Ye Xue sat for a while before Li Qianqian suggested going out for a drive with Ye Qiu.
“It’s so hot outside, what’s fun about that?”
Li Qianqian noticed Liu Lingxiu wasn’t around, so she wanted to take the opportunity to go out alone with Ye Qiu.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu didn’t understand the intention.
However, what surprised her was that Ye Qiu no longer needed her help to get a driver’s license or car registration.
Li Qianqian had no idea who Ye Qiu had connections with to get those done.
“Then I’m going back to school for class.”
After Ye Weidong and Chen Fang noted down all the things missing in the house and prepared to go shopping, Ye Qiu still needed to bring a photocopy of his ID and a photo to Zhao Ruxue.
So Ye Qiu told his parents and sister that they could take Ah Wu’s car back to Jiangbei later.
Li Qianqian didn’t expect Ye Qiu to have other things to do.
“Qianqian, stay here with my parents.
I have something to do and need to leave first.”
Ye Qiu got into his Mercedes and drove towards Jiangbei.
Once back in Jiangbei, Ye Qiu called Zhao Ruxue.
When Zhao Ruxue answered, she asked, “I’m at work, what’s up?”
“I’m bringing you the documents.”
Ye Qiu drove to Jiangbei Police Substation.
When he got to the parking lot and got out of the car, several security guards looked at him in disbelief that he was driving a Mercedes.
Ye Qiu held his photo and ID photocopy as he entered Zhao Ruxue’s office.
At that moment, Zhao Ruxue was handling her case.
Seeing Ye Qiu, she asked, “Ready so quickly?”
“I even bought a car.”
Given Ye Qiu’s wealth, buying a Mercedes made sense to Zhao Ruxue.
However, his clothes and the car created a stark contrast.
“Here’s my ID photocopy and photo.”
Zhao Ruxue took them, checked, and saw no issues.
She had already arranged contact with the DMV for Ye Qiu.
Getting a driver’s license would be easy for him.
“I also want to get a license plate.”
Jinling didn’t limit license plates, but getting a good one cost money.
“Did you arrange car insurance?”
“No, the insurance isn’t done yet.”
“At least you need liability insurance for the DMV to issue a plate, and it’s easy to get.
Someone else can handle it, and it’ll be done in one or two workdays.
You’re just starting to drive, it’s better to use a temporary plate and then get familiar before getting a permanent one.”
With a temporary plate, traffic violations wouldn’t be captured by cameras.
“Ruxue, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out.”
“What’s the rush, it’s almost time to get off work.
Wait for me and we can go back together.”
It was almost five, and Zhao Ruxue got off work at five-thirty.
Now that she met Ye Qiu, he could drive her home.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
At five-thirty, Zhao Ruxue tidied the files on her desk, then left with Ye Qiu, drawing attention from other officers, and they both got into the Mercedes AMG.
Ye Qiu drove towards Zhao Ruxue’s neighborhood.
Soon, they reached the entrance of the neighborhood.
Seeing the luxury car at first, the two security guards wondered who it was.
When Ye Qiu rolled down the window, they recognized him, remembering he used to ride a bicycle and an electric scooter.
One security guard hurried to open the gate.
As Ye Qiu drove in, the guards couldn’t believe their eyes.
“That car must belong to Officer Zhao.”
How can a police officer afford such a luxury car?”
“Doesn’t her sister drive a BMW?”
Ye Qiu drove to Zhao Ruxue’s parking spot.
Since Zhao Rubing wasn’t back, it was still empty.
After parking, he got out with Zhao Ruxue.
As they took the elevator up, Ye Qiu asked, “Isn’t your sister upstairs sleeping?”
“Her car isn’t here; she must be back at the bar.”
Entering the living room, they changed shoes.
Zhao Ruxue got Ye Qiu a drink from the fridge and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
But Ye Qiu’s phone rang.
Seeing an unknown number, he answered, “This is Ye Qiu.”
I’m about to get off work.
Wait for me at your rental place; I’ll be there around seven.”
Though the 4S dealership hadn’t closed by seven, Liu Xia worried about coworkers gossiping if they saw her meeting Ye Qiu after work.
“I’ll wait at my rental place then.”
“Tell me the address.”
Not having to pick her up at the dealership was better, and Ye Qiu knew he’d need a private space for her treatment.
After hanging up, Ye Qiu saw Zhao Ruxue in her apron, busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Zhao Ruxue, pretty and a deputy squad leader, still cooked after work, making her nearly perfect.
“Ruxue, I have to go.”
“Not staying for dinner?
I was cooking for you.”
“I need to treat someone.”
Hearing this, Zhao Ruxue said, “Go ahead and be safe driving.”
Though she saw Ye Qiu now drove like a seasoned driver, she still thought he should drive carefully.
