Chapter 2302 - 2262: Foundation Establishment Stage Third Layer, Middle Phase

By the afternoon, after the inauguration banquet ended, Ye Qiu was ready to send Xiaomai and the others back.

Unexpectedly, Xia Tiantian came over and asked, "Ye Qiu, when are you taking me to the East Sea again?"

"To the East Sea? Don’t you have extra classes during the winter break?"

Tomorrow in May, Xia Tiantian would be taking her middle school exams.

Fortunately, her grades improved in the second half of her second year.

"Not every day is extra classes."

"I’ll be going home for the New Year tomorrow, maybe after that we’ll head to the East Sea."

Going home for the New Year?

Hearing this, Xia Tiantian thought she wanted to go too.

"I want to go too."

"Aren’t you staying here with your mom for the New Year?"

Thinking about Xia Lan being alone isn’t easy.

"I’ll go talk to my mom."

Hurriedly, Xia Tiantian went to find Xia Lan, who was giving Ye Qiu glances all along, but with so many people around now, Ye Qiu didn’t do anything.

As Xia Tiantian approached Xia Lan, possibly having had a bit to drink, Xia Lan’s face was slightly flushed.

However, at that time, their bodyguard could drive back.

"Mom, I want to go home with Ye Qiu for the New Year."

Going to Ye Qiu’s home for the New Year?

"What about mom during that time?"

"Mom, why don’t you take a trip out too?"

Xia Tiantian knew, after her father left, it was just her and her mother now, and she was aware of her mom’s pressure. Taking advantage of the New Year, they could go out, just like a vacation.

Originally, Xia Lan hadn’t thought about it, yet suddenly she really wanted to go see it.

"Why don’t you ask Teacher Ye if it’s okay?"

"He’ll definitely agree."

At that moment, Ye Qiu was already heading towards the basketball court with Xiaomai and the others, and boarding the car to return to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

For now, he planned to go back, take a nap, and then head to the mall in the afternoon for a big shopping spree.

Back at the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community,

Ye Qiu went to his room.

He took out his phone to call Li Qianqian.

Last time, Li Qianqian said she wanted to go home with him for the New Year; he wasn’t sure if Ye Weidong and his wife agreed.

"Qianqian, I’m going home for the New Year tomorrow, are you coming?"

"Yes, of course. I’m sick of Jinling!"

Back then, Li Qianqian really wanted to go on an adventure, but after almost losing her life that time, Ye Weidong and his wife have forbidden her from running around.

However, going to Ye Qiu’s home for the New Year, Li Qianqian figured there shouldn’t be any problem.

"Come over tonight then."

Ye Qiu also called Wen Xin, but Wen Xin had to work at the hospital, so she couldn’t go even if she wanted to.

He chatted with Wen Xin for half an hour and hung up, then called Ma Wenwen.

Ma Wenwen also wanted to go to Ye Qiu’s home to see; they had planned this earlier. Upon hearing Ye Qiu would go back tomorrow, Ma Wenwen decided to come over today.

Besides her, she brought Xiaohui because Xiaohui didn’t want to go home for matchmaking and couldn’t be left alone over there.

As for Wang Leshan, who was flying abroad, she couldn’t go, and likewise Jiang Xiyue had to stay home with her mom, so she couldn’t go either.

Then there was Liu Xia.

Originally, Liu Xia really wanted to go, but felt embarrassed; moreover, during the New Year, she might have to stay at the 4S store. She’s planning to wait until the moment is mature, and then get approval from Ye Weidong and his wife to follow Ye Qiu next year.

As for Zhao Ruxue, she definitely couldn’t get time off.

Additionally, Shen Yueru couldn’t make it.

Then, there’s Song Ying. Now Song Ying had the freedom.

"I’m going home tomorrow, are you coming?"

"Yes, of course, but I’ll come a bit later."

Anyway, last time Song Ying had already driven there herself and knew about Ye Family Village.

She and Ye Qiu agreed to go before the thirtieth night.

Besides Cao Ling, he notified everyone else.

Ye Qiu was planning to play on his computer, and when those ladies arrived, they’d go for a big shopping spree together.

Around three in the afternoon, Li Qianqian arrived first.

Besides her, Han Xiaowan and the other girl surprisingly came too.

"Weren’t you going home for the New Year?" Ye Qiu looked surprised at these two girls.

These two had always been Li Qianqian’s followers, yet surprisingly they didn’t go home during the winter break.

"We’re not going home," replied Han Xiaowan.

Zhou Muling felt the same.

Previously, she visited Ye Qiu’s home and loved the scenery there; they thought they could visit Mount Huang during the New Year.

Since that was the case, Ye Qiu didn’t say much.

When Ma Wenwen and Xiaohui arrived, Ye Qiu had already called Liu Lingxiu over.

Liu Lingxiu was Ye Qiu’s official girlfriend, but she also knew the relationship between Ye Qiu and the other ladies.

Now driving them to a nearby large mall to shop, buying anything suitable, buying New Year’s goods, and putting them in the trunk of the car to bring back.

Some items that couldn’t fit would later have Cai Yong send someone with a van.

By seven in the evening, the shopping spree surprisingly cost hundreds of thousands.

However, for Ye Qiu, this amount really wasn’t much.

Originally, Xia Jing wanted to come over to have Ye Qiu cure her illness, but seeing so many beauties here, she quickly retreated to her villa in fright.

After dinner, when Ye Qiu went back to his room to play games, Li Qianqian came over and said, "Stay with me tonight."

"I need to cultivate first."

Li Qianqian knew what Ye Qiu’s cultivation was about.

She didn’t know when he would finish cultivating.

Around ten at night, Ye Qiu showered and then returned to his room to continue cultivation.

Running the ’Primordial Five Emperors Technique,’ the Moonlight Essence transformed into spiritual energy and entered his meridians, continually flowing into his Dantian, storing until it reached a critical point. Ye Qiu felt a roaring sensation in his brain, akin to a dam bursting, resulting in a surge of True Qi, transforming from quantity to quality. Then, Ye Qiu vaguely felt the white lotus in his Dantian becoming clearer.

The lotus-like structure seemed to have grown a bit larger and more distinct.

Ye Qiu knew he had broken through from the Early Stage of Level Three of Foundation Establishment to the Mid Stage of Level Three.

He was now drenched in sweat.

He opened his eyes, got up, and went to the bathroom for another shower. It was already past three in the morning; he thought Li Qianqian would have been resting.

Ye Qiu didn’t want to disturb the other person, but he still went over, fearing she might be waiting for him.

Entering Li Qianqian’s room, he indeed saw her big, bright eyes looking at him.

"Why are you coming over just now?"

"Didn’t I tell you I had to cultivate?"

"Will it affect your driving tomorrow?"

"It definitely won’t be an issue."

The next morning, when Ye Qiu and Li Qianqian woke up, it was already past eight.

Now, the ladies were having breakfast, waiting for these two to join for their departure.
