Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1481: Chapter 864: Leave Request

Moving to a new city and taking on a new job, everything has to be familiarized from scratch. At his level, he can’t just follow his whims too much, or else he wouldn’t have ended up in Qin Mountain Town.

Though his person didn’t go along, his heart kept thinking about Luo Ye, especially when the issues with the Qian Family were unresolved. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Luo Ye, he just didn’t want her under too much pressure.

So when he suddenly received a call from Luo Ye, a smile crept at the corners of his eyes, which made Yao Xiaoqian, the division head reporting to him face-to-face, dazed on the spot.

When Ye Xuan hung up the phone, he saw Yao Xiaoqian staring right at him, her eyes not moving an inch, so he furrowed his brow, "Continue."

"..." Yao Xiaoqian didn’t respond.

"Go out!"

Since Ye Xuan was transferred to the office in Sha City as the director, nobody had seen his smiling face. So, even though he was dashingly handsome, none of his subordinates dared to be infatuated.

This abrupt smile naturally left Yao Xiaoqian stunned, she snapped back only after Ye Xuan tapped his finger on the table.

Then, completely flustered, she thought to herself, embarrassed by her previous behavior—truly humiliating, a mother of a child, how could she make such a mistake?

"Go out." Ye Xuan repeated again.

"Yes!" Responding, Yao Xiaoqian got up, took two steps, hesitated slightly, and then returned, "Director Ye..., may I say one more thing?"

Ye Xuan didn’t even raise his head and said, "Speak!"

"You might think my behavior just now was annoying. Honestly, I also dislike how I was earlier, but I swear, I was just influenced by your smile, no other intentions whatsoever.

If even a married woman like me can’t bear it, what about those unmarried young girls? Director, I... I’ll go now." After speaking, Yao Xiaoqian fled the office as if escaping.

"Here comes the call, here comes the call..."

Seeing the caller ID, Ye Xuan’s smile spread across his face again, "Ye’er..."

"Hehe..." Luo Ye chuckled on the other end of the phone, "Handsome Ye, whose head did you just turn now, hmm?"

"You..." Ye Xuan was about to say how did you know when he suddenly glanced at a corner of the phone extender, chuckling helplessly as he tapped his head, "You little rascal, calling suddenly with all these heartwarming words, you got my head foggy, you... really can’t help it."

"Hehe..." Luo Ye continued to laugh, "I actually heard some noises on the other end as I was about to hang up, so I listened a bit longer.

Well, you did well, if it weren’t for the fear of blocking other calls, I’d love to listen indefinitely, haha..."

Ye Xuan thought for a while, then earnestly suggested, "If Ye’er is willing, I can prepare another phone, keep it on always, how about it?"

"Go away!" Luo Ye snorted, "Am I that idle?" Then, her voice turned somber, "Ye Xuan, I’m sorry.

Actually, when I called you just now, I wanted to say that I unconditionally trust you, and you should unconditionally trust me, okay?"

Without thinking, Ye Xuan said, "I’ve always unconditionally trusted Ye’er."

"Hmm, I’ll hang up." Luo Ye’s voice had a slight hoarseness.

Some things, although always known, really feel different when you hear them from the other person. That soft feeling that rises from your heart makes her very sure that she loves him.

Zhu Hongyu glanced at Luo Ye through the rearview mirror, "Once decided, you should marry soon."

"Luoluo, let’s marry together." Ying Nuo looked at Luo Ye eagerly, "How about it?"

Luo Ye didn’t respond to her, instead said with a serious expression, "You shouldn’t have come with us; you should have stayed with my brother."

"Uh..." Ying Nuo scratched her head, "Didn’t we already agree? I’d go with you to Sha City, then wait to return to Island City with Qiu and Demon."

"Nuonuo, the time you have with my brother is already limited..." Luo Ye sighed softly, "Forget it, we’re already here, no point going back now, just spend more time with my brother later."

Ying Nuo then pouted, "In your heart, is Luo Feng more important or am I?"

"Little Vinegar Lady!" Luo Ye glared at her playfully, "Am I not doing this for your good? In the real world, even the best feelings can’t withstand the test of time and distance.

I’m speaking from my own feelings; in these few years, the time I’ve spent with Ye Xuan is countable on one’s fingers, so our feelings have always stayed at the initial stage of knowing each other.

The so-called couple means being each other’s warmth-encompassing companion. Long-term separation isn’t a good thing, Nuonuo, try to get transferred to stay by my brother’s side."

"Got it, but what about you?" Ying Nuo glared at her, "You only know how to lecture others, what about yourself? Are you planning to stay this distant with Ye Xuan forever?"

"He has already been transferred to Sha City."

"Cut!" Ying Nuo rolled her eyes, "He’s been transferred to Sha City, and you’re going to the army for an internship, how much time can you really spend together?"

"Women always need to have their own careers; you can’t completely give them up for a man, right?" Zhu Hongyu worried that Luo Ye might change her mind and quickly added: "Women always need to have their own careers; you can’t completely give them up for a man, right?"

"Nuonuo, I’m not like you..." Luo Ye paused, then broke into a relaxed smile, "Never mind, being stirred up by this Luo Feiyin matter, I’ve become sentimental too. Matters of emotion should be approached naturally; if one side is too intent on accommodating the other, it becomes tiring.

Anyway, Ye Xuan knew from the start that I wouldn’t give up on myself for him. I trust he’ll balance things out, and I will too.

Just now, I was being a bit stubborn. Nuonuo, you also shouldn’t push yourself just for my brother. When two people are together, happiness is most important."

"Listen, listen..." Ying Nuo looked at Zhu Hongyu with a helpless expression, "They say women are fickle; now I finally understand what that means."

"I understand it too." Xia Yingru, who had been sitting silently in the front passenger seat, turned to look at Luo Ye. "You truly plan to marry Ye Xuan?"

"I’ve already talked about this..." Luo Ye spread her hands, "We haven’t hidden anything from you, including the problems between Ye Xuan and me.

Doing so is meant to show you that I acknowledge you as a person and like your personality. If possible, I hope we can become friends and that you won’t persist in this issue anymore."

"Alright, I promise you..." Xia Yingru paused and then smiled mischievously, "I promise that I won’t do anything undercover or gossip aimlessly anymore. But I won’t give up creating opportunities for my cousin, because, from my perspective, he truly suits you better than Ye Xuan."

"That’s about taste." Ying Nuo shrugged, "Just like how Liu Xing is the best in your heart, then, in my heart, Luo Feng is the best; Sister Zhu thinks Brother Xue is the best, and in Luoluo’s heart, the best is naturally Ye Xuan."

Zhu Hongyu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "Us four women, sitting in a car talking only about men, isn’t that a bit sad?"

Everyone: "..."

The car stopped in East Mountain City for two hours. During this time, Luo Ye, Ying Nuo, Zhu Hongyu, Xue Fengqi, and Xia Yingru went to visit Secretary Qin. After having lunch together, they went their separate ways, returning to their respective territories.

Xue Fengqi had a last-minute task, so he had to return to his post at the first exit of the East Sand Highway. Luckily, Luo Ye had the foresight to let Yue Qin’s family use Liangyou’s car, so Xue Fengqi’s departure didn’t affect everyone’s journey.

...

B Division’s base.

"Master, please grant me ten days of leave!"

Master Zhou looked at Qi Xing, who was standing opposite him, exhausted but trying hard to stay spirited, and rarely showed a smile: "Xiao Qi, why are you in such a rush to go home? What’s going on?"

Qi Xing stood upright: "Report to Master! I want to bring my family to live in Sha City!"

"Oh?" Master Zhou picked up his teacup and sipped some tea, "Letting the family join the military needs advance notice; why haven’t you mentioned anything before bringing them over?"

"Report to Master, I wasn’t planning on them joining the military..." Qi Xing’s voice weakened, "Because, none of them meet the conditions!"

His mind now felt as heated as a boiling pot.

Since requesting leave last time, nearly a week had passed. When an emergency task came up then, he had to shelve his thoughts and departed with the team.

Fortunately, he is a qualified soldier, executing the task without being affected by personal issues. However, today upon returning to base, he immediately called home to explain to Yue Qin, only to find out the number was deactivated!

He retrieved the number for his neighbor Auntie’s house, called several times, but no one answered, leading him to dash off to request leave from the Master without even showering.

Ironically, the usually straightforward Master Zhou turned into a talkative Tang Seng, causing Qi Xing’s impatience to burn further.

"Why the hurry to get them here if they don’t meet conditions?" Master Zhou slurped some tea and leisurely set the cup down, "Not to mention, you just completed a task, with your Political Commissar role up next—how does that fit in?"

"Master, please grant my leave; honestly..." Qi Xing showed a difficult expression, gritting his teeth, "Honestly, things at home are boiling over; if you don’t let me return, something dire will happen."

"Oh, what’s so dire?" Master Zhou still maintained an unhurried demeanor.

"Master!" Qi Xing’s voice suddenly rose, "I’ve been under your command for so many years—you should know my character.

If it weren’t absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t insist like this. Please, approve my leave, okay? If you don’t soon, I... I..."

"What about you?" Master Zhou raised his eyelids to examine him, "Will you eat me, or will you stop being a soldier?"
