Chapter 2284 - 2244: Flying to London

Ye Qiu returned to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, and after having lunch with Xiaomai, he asked Xiaomai to call Ye Xue, then Ye Qiu drove her to East Sea to have some fun.

Xiaomai had been there before and met Ma Wenwen and Xiaohui.

Now Xiaomai packed her clothes and followed Ye Qiu to East Sea.

Arriving at the Zi Garden mansion villa in East Sea, both Ma Wenwen and Xiaomai were there.

However, last time, due to the issue of meeting parents, Ma Wenwen thought Ye Qiu was angry.

Seeing Ye Qiu and Xiaomai coming in, Ma Wenwen asked, "I thought you were angry about what happened last time?"

"What matter?"

"Just those things my parents said to you."

Obviously, Ma Wenwen’s parents only thought Ye Qiu was good at medicine, without knowing Ye Qiu’s worth. If he wanted to be with Ma Wenwen, her parents wanted Ye Qiu to be a live-in son-in-law.

Live-in son-in-law?

That’s impossible.

However, since then, Ma Wenwen has seldom contacted her parents, knowing they are very pragmatic people.

But perhaps most parents are like this now.

After all, in East Sea, many young women either marry foreigners or look for live-in sons-in-law, saying a poor guy wants to marry a local wife.

It’s not impossible, just highly unlikely.

"Your parents? I never took it seriously."

Last time, Xiaomai naturally didn’t know about this matter.

But now Xiaomai heard about it and found it amusing that Ma Wenwen’s parents would ask him to be a live-in son-in-law?

Currently, Ye Qiu doesn’t even care about the Ye Family in Capital City, let alone Ma Wenwen’s family.

Ma Wenwen is quite clear about this.

If her parents knew Ye Qiu’s identity, they probably wouldn’t have said that.

Now she knows Ye Qiu is here; it must be winter break.

"Is it winter break now?"

Ma Wenwen asked.

"I finished exams last week."

Ye Qiu sat on the sofa as Ma Wenwen came over to give him a full-body massage, and Ma Wenwen was well aware that it wasn’t Ye Qiu clinging to her, but her clinging to Ye Qiu.

Without Ye Qiu, she wouldn’t even know how she would be.

"Are you planning to go home for New Year, or spend it in Jinling?"

"Go back home."

Ye Qiu hadn’t experienced the New Year’s atmosphere at home yet, and he wanted to see it for himself.

"Then can I go with you?" Ma Wenwen asked.

In principle, as an only child, she should accompany her parents for New Year, but the festive atmosphere in East Sea is weak; besides more lanterns and flowers on the streets, the only chance for any New Year feeling might be the temple fairs.

However, her family is always like that, so she plans to go with Ye Qiu back to his hometown this time.

At this moment, Ye Qiu’s phone rang, and taking a look, he found it was Louise calling.

Normally, Ye Qiu rarely contacted Louise, but with their relationship, there was no need for daily contact, and Ye Qiu wasn’t worried she’d do anything to betray him.

"Louise, it’s me."

Now it should be around seven or eight in the morning in Paris.

"Ye Qiu, can you come to Europe?"

"Is something wrong over there?"

"Yes, there are some issues. A friend of mine is unwell."

Her friend is unwell?

That means sick.

But what kind of sickness is it?

"What sickness?"

"Qiu, I can’t really explain. She’s not in Paris; she’s over in London."

In London?

So that’s in England?

But what kind of sickness is it?

"Can she fly to East Sea?"

Ye Qiu really was reluctant to travel abroad; aside from the hassle of visas, it’s a long flight, over twenty hours to get there.

If she could fly over instead, that would be ideal.

"Qiu, I’ll ask over there."

After hanging up, Ma Wenwen asked, "What’s the matter?"

"A patient feeling unwell, thousands of miles away."

Thousands of miles away?

It’s more than that.

Flying takes over ten hours; that’s not exactly close.

A few minutes later, Louise called back.

"Qiu, my friend’s condition is getting worse. She’s unable to fly."

If that’s the case, won’t he have to fly to Europe and then London?

Ye Qiu didn’t know what to say.

If it weren’t for Louise, he wouldn’t bother flying around, especially as this trip to East Sea was to find Ma Wenwen and Jiang Xiyue.

"Louise, I’ll fly to London as soon as possible."

After arranging with Louise, Ye Qiu now has to go to the British consulate in East Sea to get a visa, as he’s going to treat a patient. The sooner, the better.

Ye Qiu needs a visa; it’s still office hours, so he wonders whether special circumstances allow for a speedy visa.

Of course, having a previous visa makes it relatively easier.

As Ye Qiu is heading to London, Ma Wenwen wants to come along.

"What about me? Can I come too?"

"If you want to go, then come along."

As for Xiaohui and Xiaomai, they have visas but chose not to accompany Ye Qiu.

The two were heading to the British consulate.

Arriving there, Ye Qiu’s passport and documents were all in his car. Now he entered to fill out an application, then complete paperwork to gain approval from the visa officer, which posed no issue.

Ye Qiu and Ma Wenwen went in.

When it was their turn, they were asked many questions and, upon confirming there were no issues, received a one-month visa stamp.

Actually, Ye Qiu planned to spend a few days there and return.

He still planned to prepare to go home for New Year.

Leaving the consulate, it was already past four in the afternoon, and Ma Wenwen was tasked with checking flight tickets.

It wasn’t peak season, but in two weeks, the Spring Festival holiday would be a peak period with many people possibly traveling to Europe.

After the first few days of Spring Festival, ticket prices might drop again.

Ma Wenwen now checked; there were direct flights to London and ones with a layover in Hong Kong.

Ye Qiu asked Ma Wenwen to buy direct flights to London.

Checking the time, it was five-thirty in the afternoon, and the flight lasted twelve hours, arriving there by domestic time at five-thirty in the morning.

In London, with the time difference, it was seven hours behind, making it around ten-thirty in the evening there.

It would be nighttime upon arriving in London.

Ye Qiu knew he needed to head to the airport first.

Originally, he planned to meet Jiang Xiyue, but that may have to wait until he flies back.

Calling Xiaomai, he said, "Xiaomai, stay here and play with Xiaohui for a few days, and I’ll pick you up when I return to East Sea."

After all, Xiaomai usually stayed alone in Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, and now she was accompanied by Xiaohui.
