“Tell me what’s going on. I’m Su Yue’s fiancé,” Di Kun unexpectedly said.
Su Yue looked toward the doorway, feeling a little schemed against.
But since she had already agreed to marry Di Kun, she also felt he wasn’t wrong.
Mrs. Zhu was startled.
She gave Di Kun a long, scrutinizing look.
“How—how come I didn’t know she had a fiancé?” Her eyes were full of disbelief.
Di Kun’s gaze was unfriendly, radiating a clear “Why should you know?” attitude.
Mrs. Zhu’s eyes shifted back toward the room.
She finally took in the juicer and the messy state of the apartment.
Her anger flared.
“No wonder you make so much noise every day! Fine, you’ve turned my house into such a mess!”
Di Kun moved his body to block her view again.
Just as he was about to speak, Su Yue’s voice came from behind:
“We’ll move out in the next couple of days.”
The statement left both Di Kun and Mrs. Zhu stunned.
Di Kun quickly recovered, secretly pleased.
Mrs. Zhu, however, looked extremely displeased.
“Good! Don’t expect me to refund the extra days of rent!” she shouted.
Su Yue walked beside Di Kun, pushing Mrs. Zhu aside and facing her.
“The rent is fine, but you must return the deposit.”
She had already been thinking of moving.
The current rental was in a slum, with crowds at every street corner.
With so many people around, it was not an ideal living situation for them.
Besides, the walls of the apartment offered poor sound insulation.
She often needed to juice at home, which would disturb neighbors.
Even if Mrs. Zhu hadn’t come today, eventually someone would complain.
Moreover, there was now an extra person in the apartment, and her brother only had a 1.5-meter-wide bed.
Two people would be cramped.
“You want your deposit back? Look at what you’ve done to my apartment! What a mess!” Mrs. Zhu raised her voice.
Su Yue glanced around the room.
The scattered sugarcane peels made the place a bit messy.
“Before we move out, we’ll clean up. Your apartment has few furnishings and appliances, none of which we’ve damaged. You must return the deposit,” Su Yue said firmly.
“No!” Mrs. Zhu shouted.
Just as she was about to curse, Su Yue glanced at Di Kun and gave him a look.
Di Kun understood immediately.
He lifted Mrs. Zhu up.
“If you don’t return the deposit, I’ll drop you.”
“That little deposit will count as healing fees,” he said, looking down at the courtyard.
The courtyard below was about four or five meters deep.
Dropping her wouldn’t endanger her life, but it would certainly hurt.
“You—how dare you? I’ll report you to the Security Bureau!” Mrs. Zhu threatened, genuinely scared.
Di Kun let out a cold laugh.
“You can try. If you dare report us, I guarantee next time you won’t survive the fall.”
Mrs. Zhu shrank back, thoroughly terrified.
“Fine—fine! I’ll return it! Let me go!”
“Return it first,” Di Kun said impatiently.
Mrs. Zhu hesitated, then accessed her light device and transferred the deposit to Su Yue.
Su Yue felt her wrist vibrate. She opened her light device and saw the deposit had indeed been refunded.
Seeing Di Kun look over, she nodded at him.
Only then did Di Kun drop Mrs. Zhu outside.
“Get lost,” he muttered softly.
Mrs. Zhu got up from the ground, walking out while muttering curses.
Di Kun wanted to follow, but Su Yue stopped him.
“It’s fine. As long as the money’s returned, that’s enough.”
Di Kun relented and closed the door.
“All right, the late-night meal is ready. You don’t need to work anymore. Clean up a bit, then eat and rest,” Su Yue said.
“Mm.”
She turned toward the kitchen, smiling.
This man… wasn’t bad at all.
The next day, Su Yue got up early, did a simple wash, and headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
With an extra big eater in the house, she had to cook more food.
Besides going out to pick oranges, she also needed time to find a new rental.
When she reached the living room, she saw Di Kun and Su Yi already up, looking at Su Yi’s light device.
“Yue Yue, we found a house. Come check if it’s suitable,” Di Kun said, getting up.
Su Yue was surprised and walked over.
“The house isn’t far from here. It has a basement with a sunroom, and the sound insulation is pretty good.”
Curious, Su Yue checked the light device.
She confirmed that the house matched Di Kun’s description—it was a detached house.
One floor had three bedrooms and two living rooms; the basement had three more rooms and a sunroom.
The house was spacious, in a good community, and even if sound insulation was imperfect, it wouldn’t disturb neighbors.
Indeed… it was a good choice.
But the rent—
Wait, the rent was only 4,000 Star Coins a month?
“Only 4,000 Star Coins a month? Are you sure?” Su Yue asked Di Kun.
“Yes. We’ve already contacted the landlord, and he said we could sign today and move in immediately.”
Su Yue still felt uncertain, glancing at Su Yi.
Su Yi nodded at her.
“How do we pay the rent?” Su Yue asked Di Kun, thinking to herself not to get scammed by someone taking a year’s rent upfront.
“Deposit one, pay three months at a time,” Di Kun replied with a smile.
She was cautious, but the house had been arranged through Tao Fu—there was no way it was a scam.
And though the rent was below market value, it wasn’t much lower.
Su Yue hesitated for a moment.
“Let’s go take a look. There’s even a household robot to help in the kitchen!” Di Kun said.
Well, this robot had been temporarily arranged by Tao Fu.
Su Yue was tempted.
“Call the landlord and schedule a visit, try to make it as early as possible.”
“All right!” Di Kun’s eyes sparkled.
He called the landlord in front of Su Yue.
After the call, the landlord said he was leaving Wubian City today and asked them to come view the house immediately.
Su Yue hesitated only briefly before having Di Kun agree.
She even skipped breakfast preparation and had Di Kun ride the hover motorcycle to take her to the house.
Upon arrival, Su Yue found the house even better than she expected. The furniture and appliances were more complete than what she had seen online.
The kitchen appliances were especially comprehensive, and the kitchen was large—she loved it.
After checking the landlord’s property information and other relevant details on the light device, and confirming why the landlord urgently wanted to rent, Su Yue knew she had truly found a bargain.
She didn’t hesitate and rented the house.
The contract was signed on the light device, and the landlord contacted the property management to notify them before leaving.
