You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 320 - 309

"Yanyan is back, I said you could have come back later!"

Liu Chaoyan returned from her three-day vacation, holding small gifts for everyone. Xia Qingrou smiled as she took the gifts from Liu Chaoyan's hands, her tone playfully reproachful.

"As soon as I finished the social obligations, I thought I should come back. It's not like there was anything else going on." Liu Chaoyan smiled faintly and casually asked, "Did anything happen in the last couple of days?"

"Nothing at all, just a minor beast disaster, but that was a small issue!" Xia Qingrou waved her hand dismissively, a self-satisfied look on her face, "Under my command, it was certainly resolved safely!"

"Hahaha, I knew Sister Xia was reliable." Liu Chaoyan laughed, then turned and walked toward Xiao Xingshuang's bedroom: "I'll go ask if Xingshuang wants to take a vacation."

"Hey, hey, let me take a vacation, I want a vacation!" Xia Qingrou quickly tugged on Liu Chaoyan's arm.

"Just you, or do you need to request backup?" Liu Chaoyan was surprised, as it was the first time Xia Qingrou had actively asked for a vacation. Previously, she would either stay with Buque or leave with others.

Even during the separation month, the Buque Team had to maintain three combatants. Now, with Han Muxue on extended leave, 0819 could only afford one more person taking time off.

Of course, Buque Users are human too, and it's inevitable they'll encounter sudden problems, which is why the officials have made provisions that if a team member's family faces an emergency, they can take extra leave, but only after finding a temporary replacement.

The latter are often Buque Users from other teams on vacation, or Superpower Users who recently retired. Generally, the cost of asking someone to temporarily fill in is about five to ten times the normal daily wage.

Xia Qingrou's expression was a bit unusual as she spoke softly, "Just me... Did you find the person I asked you to help me look for?"

"So that's it." Liu Chaoyan smiled, looking down at her phone, "I've already found her, I'll send you her details now. Her address and personal phone number are all there."

"Mhm, Yanyan, thank you!" Xia Qingrou hugged Liu Chaoyan happily, nuzzling her with a giggle.

"It's nothing troublesome... but what do you plan to do?" Liu Chaoyan asked.

"I... actually haven't really thought it through." Xia Qingrou breathed out slowly, "But I just feel that she's not that bad of a bad person..."

Liu Chaoyan blinked, "You're just going to go find her directly? Aren't you afraid Shen will get upset?"

Xia Qingrou glared, huffing, "He wouldn't dare get upset!"

Liu Chaoyan covered her mouth, suppressing a grin.

"Anyway, just have a good talk..." Xia Qingrou looked down and pursed her lips.

"Are you sure you'll be okay going alone?" Liu Chaoyan asked.

Xia Qingrou was momentarily taken aback, then confidently patted her chest, "There won't be a problem. What trouble could there be? Besides, it's a private matter; it's best if I go alone! And if it really comes down to it, I still have Sister Yuncui!"

Liu Chaoyan glanced over Xia Qingrou lightly and nodded gently, "Alright then, Sister Xia, how many days are you planning to take?"

Xia Qingrou's eyebrows knit together slightly, "Well... actually, I'm not very sure, either. If it's quick, two or three days, if not, maybe five or six days..."

Liu Chaoyan looked at her strangely and nodded, "When do you plan to leave, Sister Xia?"

"I'm leaving in a bit. I've already told him I'm taking a vacation!"

"Shen didn't say anything?"

"I told him I was going to play with Sister Yuncui!"

"Then let me take you... It just so happens my family's car shouldn't be too far, I'll ask the driver to come back and pick you up."

Xia Qingrou returned to her room and changed into conservative clothing, long lounge pants, a plain black T-shirt, and even clipped a duckbill cap on her head.

"Let's go," Xia Qingrou said as she came out, stuffing the Buque Certificate into her pocket.

Liu Chaoyan drove Xia Qingrou to the outpost, and soon after, a luxury business car appeared on the horizon.

The early June sunlight was somewhat dazzling; Xia Qingrou's temples were damp with a fine sweat.

"How is that noble young lady from Roman... doing?" Xia Qingrou gently clenched and then slowly unclenched her fist.

"Hmm?" Liu Chaoyan cocked her head.

Xia Qingrou bit her lower lip and ventured, "Yesterday was her birthday banquet, wasn't it? Is she... engaged?"

Liu Chaoyan glanced sideways and replied, "Well, I wouldn't say engaged. It's just that some young masters from major Roman noble families came to meet her. Then her father, Earl Alexandrov, announced that on her birthday next month, he will decide on a fiancée."

"Next month's birthday, do Romans have two birthdays?"

"No, according to them, this month's birthday is calculated using the Yupi calendar; the young lady's real birthday is next month."

Xia Qingrou looked down and kicked a pebble on the ground: "Nobles sure are strange... having two birthdays."

Liu Chaoyan spoke calmly, "This is just to court favor with the Yupi Family and show goodwill, mainly for political purposes, I guess."

"Her birthday banquet must have been lively, right?"

"Yes, not only did the top families from Gaotang State attend, but families from the Capital and many nobles from the Roman Empire were there too. This was the first time Gaotang State hosted such a high-profile banquet."

"Does she have to marry into one of those noble families from Roman?"

"That can also be considered the duty of a noble, I suppose."

Xia Qingrou fell silent again; the car that came to pick her up had stopped in front of the two, but she showed no immediate intention to get in.

"Does she... look happy?" Xia Qingrou recalled the lady's cold and elegant face.

Although she had only seen it in passing, the ocean-like calm in those eyes had left a deep impression on her.

She must like Shen Mochen, right? Otherwise, why would she always have people send flowers to Yin Caiyu?

But in the end, she would marry someone else. As a noble, she couldn't decide her own love and marriage. At her birthday banquet, what kind of emotions would she have felt?

Xia Qingrou sighed inwardly; she felt somewhat sorry for Catherine, even though the other was her rival in love.

"She didn't seem particularly happy, but Miss Alexandrova has a rather subdued personality; maybe she just didn't show it," said Liu Chaoyan.

"I see..." Xia Qingrou replied softly.

Liu Chaoyan smiled slightly, "Does Sister Xia care a lot about her?"

Xia Qingrou bit her lip, then coughed, patted Liu Chaoyan on the shoulder, and laughed, "What do I have to fear? Just an ex-girlfriend, what's so great about that? I was just asking casually!"

Having said that, Xia Qingrou got into Liu Chaoyan's family car and then waved at Liu Chaoyan: "You can go back!"

"Okay, goodbye."

Liu Chaoyan waved back as well.

As she watched Xia Qingrou leave, Liu Chaoyan looked down and chuckled softly, "Sister Xia, sister Xia, you like him that much, huh? Love really does blind people... though you were never the sharpest tool in the shed, to begin with."

After talking to herself, Liu Chaoyan returned to the dormitory.
