Meanwhile, at the Su family's old residence.
Zhu Ling'er was busy as a bee!
She had brought a considerable amount of luggage with her to Yunhai City.
Initially, Zhu Ling'er had assumed.
That Zhou Yu would refuse her request.
So she had prepared accordingly.
Dresses, sleepwear, cosmetics, and even the familiar home fragrances she used were all brought along.
This resulted in Zhu Ling'er's miscellaneous items appearing exceptionally numerous.
Now, packing them up was quite troublesome.
Zhu Ling'er had considered simply packing them all up and discarding them.
But these were all items Zhu Ling'er was accustomed to using.
She found herself reluctant to throw any of them away.
So, she resigned herself to the task of packing.
As Zhu Ling'er was organizing her luggage.
Su Yu Yan returned.
The moment she entered.
She saw clothes and various items spread across the living room.
And a large suitcase!
Su Yu Yan's heart sank. She turned to look at Zhu Ling'er, who was packing, and asked.
"Are you going back to Jiangnan City?"
Although she asked this, Su Yu Yan knew in her heart.
That persuading Zhu Ling'er to return to Jiangnan City would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
She wondered where Zhu Ling'er was planning to move with all this luggage.
Before, when Zhu Ling'er was staying at the Su residence, everything was manageable.
After all, everything was under Su Yu Yan's watchful eye.
No matter how Zhu Ling'er pestered Zhou Yu, Su Yu Yan could intervene in time.
If Zhu Ling'er moved out, Su Yu Yan would be too far away to exert any influence!
"No."
Zhu Ling'er hadn't expected Su Yu Yan to return so quickly and froze.
Her mind raced, trying to devise a plan.
She absolutely could not let Su Yu Yan know that she was about to move into Yun Lan Tian Gong!
Otherwise.
Even if Su Yu Yan was usually shy.
She would surely follow and move into Yun Lan Tian Gong with her!
Zhu Ling'er was hoping to get closer to Zhou Yu.
How could she let Su Yu Yan ruin her chances?
After some thought, Zhu Ling'er explained, "I've been imposing on you for too long, so I found a place to stay."
If Zhu Ling'er had been secretive, Su Yu Yan might have believed her.
But the fact that Zhu Ling'er stated it so openly made Su Yu Yan disbelieve her completely!
She suspected that Zhu Ling'er hadn't found a new place to stay at all.
But rather, she was planning to move in with Zhou Yu?
With this thought, Su Yu Yan directly asked, "Did Zhou Yu agree to it?"
"You're moving into Yun Lan Tian Gong, aren't you?"
A flicker of guilt crossed Zhu Ling'er's eyes.
She then raised her voice, "That's not true. You know we haven't been able to contact Zhou Yu for several days."
"I don't even know where he is, how could I move in?"
Seeing Zhu Ling'er's expression, Su Yu Yan already had her answer.
A bitter taste spread through her heart.
Indeed, what Grandpa Su had said was right.
He had told her to foster her relationship with Zhou Yu quickly.
And now, before any feelings had developed, an obstacle had appeared.
Su Yu Yan had never been particularly worried about Zhao Ru Yue.
Because she knew.
Given Zhao Ru Yue's personality, she wouldn't resort to shameless tactics.
Her pursuit would be a fair competition.
But Zhu Ling'er was different.
No one knew how Zhu Ling'er's mind worked, but it was full of schemes.
If she were a friend, Zhu Ling'er's nature would be endearing.
But as a rival, this made Su Yu Yan's head ache!
If Zhu Ling'er were to move into Yun Lan Tian Gong, with a man and a woman alone.
She couldn't bear to imagine what might happen!
In an instant, Su Yu Yan made up her mind.
She immediately brought out her own suitcase.
And with a smile at Zhu Ling'er, she said, "It's fine, we have a good relationship. Wherever you go, I go too."
After saying that.
Su Yu Yan began to pack her luggage in front of Zhu Ling'er!
This enraged Zhu Ling'er to no end.
Her earlier suspicions were indeed correct!
Su Yu Yan was indeed going to follow her.
What did she mean by having a good relationship?
During the few days Zhu Ling'er had stayed at the Su residence, they had engaged in countless silent battles with their eyes!
Now, her plan for some alone time with Zhou Yu was shattered.
After all, Su Yu Yan was Zhou Yu's legally registered wife.
Zhu Ling'er had no standing to prevent Su Yu Yan from living with Zhou Yu.
And Zhou Yu would certainly not refuse her.
Su Yu Yan paid no mind to what Zhu Ling'er was thinking.
Her mind was filled with vigilance.
She had to keep an eye on this woman, to prevent Zhou Yu from being infatuated!
Thus.
The two women, each with their own hidden agenda, began to pack their luggage in unspoken agreement.
When Zhou Yu arrived at the Su residence, ready to pick Zhu Ling'er up.
He found both women standing before him, each with a suitcase.
"Yu Yan, what is this..." Zhou Yu was stunned.
Su Yu Yan said with a hint of grievance, "You're letting Zhu Ling'er live with you, aren't you?"
Zhou Yu understood immediately.
It was likely that Su Yu Yan had found out about Zhu Ling'er moving into Yun Lan Tian Gong!
However, in Zhou Yu's opinion, this wasn't something that needed to be hidden.
So he nodded, looking troubled.
"Yu Yan, you know, I promised Zhu Ling'er that if she made up her mind after two days, she could move in."
"I really can't..."
How could Su Yu Yan not understand Zhou Yu's predicament?
Zhu Ling'er was, after all, the pampered daughter of the Zhu family in Jiangnan City.
He had gone back on his word several times, and this time he couldn't escape.
Besides.
Zhu Ling'er not only came from an extraordinary family but was also beautiful.
If it were another man.
He would have no hesitation and would have welcomed Zhu Ling'er with great fanfare.
It was only because Zhou Yu was genuinely uninterested in romantic entanglements that he was so conflicted!
Su Yu Yan felt a knot of frustration in her chest loosen.
She nodded slightly, her face flushing, "I'm not at ease with you two staying together, so I'll go too."
Su Yu Yan was also coming?
Zhou Yu, without much thought, immediately said, "Yu Yan, isn't that inappropriate? After all..."
Dealing with Zhu Ling'er alone was already giving him a headache.
If Su Yu Yan were to join them.
Zhou Yu could imagine that his future days would be far from peaceful!
Su Yu Yan stopped Zhou Yu from refusing. "Zhou Yu, aren't you still planning to break off other engagements?"
"If we don't live together, what will others think if they see it?"
From the beginning to the end, Su Yu Yan knew that Zhou Yu's marriage to her was.
Solely to break off those engagements.
So she used this as an excuse!
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and felt that Su Yu Yan had a point.
If Zhu Ling'er were to appear as well.
Seeing Zhou Yu living separately from Su Yu Yan would certainly make her have ideas.
With this in mind, Zhou Yu nodded, "Very well, it's the same whether one person lives there or two."
After saying that.
Zhou Yu dutifully helped Su Yu Yan and Zhu Ling'er move their luggage into the car.
Although Zhu Ling'er had known all along that Zhou Yu wouldn't stop Su Yu Yan.
Seeing the scene unfold still made her heart ache a little.
