Chapter 25

Su Yunxiu was an outsider and could not enter. She took out her phone and contacted the landlord. She dialed twice before reaching him.

The other party spoke with a thick accent and a thick and loud voice.

“You’re already here? Alright, alright. I’ll be there soon too. I’ll be there in about five minutes.”

“Alright, there’s no hurry. Take your time.”

After ending the call, Su Yunxiu looked around the neighborhood and was quite satisfied with the surrounding environment. The neighborhood was above average. The apartment she saw was a one-bedroom studio with a kitchen. It was enough for her alone. The price the landlord offered was also relatively affordable. If nothing unexpected happened, she would choose this place.

As her thoughts drifted, someone patted her shoulder. Su Yunxiu came back to her senses and turned around.

The man was wearing glasses and had a beer belly. The suit he was wearing did not fit him well. It felt as if the buttons would be undone by his stomach in the next second. He was even wearing cologne and looked like he had dressed up carefully. He was holding a black folder in his hand.

Su Yunxiu suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and nodded slightly. “Hello, Mr. Chen.”

“Hello, Miss Su. Let me bring you in to take a look.”

“Alright.”

Su Yunxiu tightened her grip on her bag, pursed her lips, and silently followed behind him.

Along the way, the other party started to brag about how popular his apartment was. Many people liked it and begged him, but he was determined not to rent it out.

“Since that’s the case, I don’t have much confidence. Forget it. I’ll go take a look at other places.”

Su Yunxiu couldn’t stand it anymore. The other party’s supercilious attitude really ruined her first impression.

“Don’t! We’re already at the door. Come in and take a look. Miss Su, please come in.”

The other party had already entered the password to open the door and made an inviting gesture.

Su Yunxiu: “Thank you.”

After entering, she began to look around carefully. The house was well-equipped, clean, and tidy. It was the type of house that faced the morning sun. In winter, she could even sit on the balcony and bask in the sun.

He showed her around the room and Su Yunxiu was quite satisfied with the apartment despite her distaste for the landlord

However, the landlord did not look like much.

“How is it? Are you satisfied with the house? If you are, shall we sign the contract?”

“If there’s no problem, we’ll sign the contract?”

Su Yunxiu remained silent and did not answer; her eyes were still looking around warily.

The other party smiled like a flower, his eyes narrowed into slits.

Su Yunxiu was hesitant.

Was there such a good thing in the world?

“Thank you. I’ll think about it.”

She was about to leave when he blocked her way.

“Don’t! Everything can be discussed. We can discuss it properly. It’s fate that we met today. From my observation, you should be quite satisfied. Wouldn’t it be better to implement it earlier?”

Su Yunxiu was indeed satisfied with the apartment. However, she still had to ask the question she was curious about.

“I have a question. Why are you in such a hurry?”

The other party looked at her awkwardly. The girl’s eyes were as clear as water. He said, “It’s because my wife is about to give birth and I’m a little tight on money. I need to turn the funds around, so I’m in such a hurry.”

“Previously, there were also some clients who came over. However, those clients even requested to rent with others. Who knows how messy my house will be? They even bargained about the utility bills. Tell me, who doesn’t have difficulties doing business these days? Looking at Miss Su’s temperament, you must be different from them. If there’re no problems, we can sign the contract.”

These words dispelled Su Yunxiu’s worries. It was not easy to find a good house now. If it was any later, it might be taken by the next client.

In addition, this house was her type in terms of location and decoration. Su Yunxiu nodded. “No problem. Let’s sign the contract.”

The other party instantly beamed with joy, and the worry from a second ago disappeared.

After signing the contract with her, the landlord left the key and told her how to reset the password at the door before leaving.

After Su Yunxiu solved the problem of the accommodation, she sat on the sofa in the living room and heaved a sigh of relief. She finally had a small world.

She took out her phone and took a video to send to Lin Qingwan to reassure her.

She had also read about some pinhole cameras online. To be safe, she checked every corner and was relieved when she didn’t spot anything amiss. She took a photo by the window and shared it on her social media page.

Not long after, she received many likes. She put away her phone happily and looked out the window.

After breaking up, she did not pester the guy like other girls and quickly adjusted herself. Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. She did not know if it was her imagination, but without the restraint of her feelings, she seemed to be living more freely and easily.

Lin Qingwan was a little busy this morning. The project contract had just been finalized due to a problem. Lin Qingwan didn’t have time to look at her phone until lunch.

Su Yunxiu looked smart, but in reality, she was a little oblivious to her environment in her daily life. She had taken a closer look at the structure of the house. She had to be wary of others. Lin Qingwan sent a message to remind her to check if there were any cameras.

Su Yunxiu: [I’ve already checked! I’m preparing to go back and move my things. Come over for dinner after work tonight. It can be considered a celebration. I’ll send you the address.]

Lin Qingwan didn’t refuse: [Okay, I’ll go buy groceries after work.]

She knew that Su Yunxiu’s culinary skills were very good. She was considered lucky tonight.

Su Yunxiu: [Thank you, Miss Lin!]

Lin Qingwan smiled and put away her phone. She ate even faster. She only wanted to finish today’s work quickly and then look for Su Yunxiu.

Su Yunxiu liked to do things herself, and moving was no exception. Anyway, there were no big items, so she quickly moved them. When she returned to the dance studio before the students arrived, she ordered some furniture and supplies. After doing all this, she let out a long breath.

When a person was in a good mood, they could not hide it. Even the students realized that their Teacher Su had smiled more in class in the afternoon.

When class was over, Yu Wenci came to pick Yu Zitong up. Su Yunxiu was no longer surprised and went over to greet him with familiarity.

Yu Wenci’s smile deepened. “I saw your post. Have you changed your place of residence?”

“Yes, I’ve been disturbing Wanwan for too long. So I moved once I found a place I like.” Su Yunxiu still remembered the last time he spent money on her. After hesitating for a while, she grabbed the corner of her shirt nervously and asked, “By the way, are you free tonight? Can I invite you to dinner? I’ll treat it as returning the favor from last time.”

Her voice was soft, and her eyes were calm as she looked at him. She tried her best to make light of it, but her clenched fists still betrayed her.

Yu Wenci looked at her in disbelief, thinking that he had misheard.

“If you’re not free, I can invite you another day.”

Their gazes met coincidentally. Something flashed across his eyes, but unfortunately, it was too fast for her to catch it.

“There’s still time for dinner. Send me the address. I’ll go over after I send her home.”

Yu Zitong protested unhappily, “Why are you sending me home? Can’t I go with you?”

Yu Wenci: “Have you forgotten that you haven’t finished your homework today?”

“I’ve already written…” Receiving her brother’s deathly glare, she immediately changed her words. “I’ve finished writing, but I forgot that I still have three other papers to write. I won’t disturb your meal with Teacher Su.”

Only then did Yu Wenci’s expression improve, and he looked more pleasing to the eye.

Su Yunxiu didn’t suspect anything. This matter was decided just like that.
