My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 107: Is Miss Lu moving out to live with you?

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Is Miss Lu moving out to live with you?

After a while longer, a knock came from the office door.

"Come in." Zhou Shuyan was still leaning back in his chair.

Yu Zeqin entered and asked with formal precision, "CEO, I’ve checked your schedule, and you don’t have any more work today. Should we call it a day?"

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

He rubbed the corners of his eyes, having forgotten about this.

"Alright, let’s call it a day." Zhou Shuyan said, getting up, and noticed Yu Zeqin’s footsteps seemed a bit more brisk as he turned to leave.

Zhang Tianhai had parked the car downstairs, waiting at the company’s entrance.

Zhou Shuyan got into the car, and Zhang Tianhai drove towards the Zhou Family villa.

Zhou Shuyan used to live alone and would visit Xu Jingmin once or twice a week.

But because of the recent accident, it was not easy to come back.

To keep Xu Jingmin from worrying, Zhou Shuyan went home to stay every day.

Zhou Shuyan sat in the back seat and took out his phone.

He thought for a moment and asked Zhang Tianhai, "Have you bought a house?"

Zhang Tianhai quickly replied, "I bought one a year ago, paid the down payment, and now I’m paying off the mortgage. But it hasn’t been handed over yet, so I’m currently renting a place."

Zhou Shuyan asked again, "What’s the process of renting like? How much is the rent these days?"

Zhang Tianhai: "..."

Why is the Family Head suddenly interested in renting houses?

Could this be routine employee concern?

"Family Head, why do you suddenly ask about this?" Zhang Tianhai inquired cautiously.

"..." Zhou Shuyan fell silent for a few seconds and then said, "Just curious."

"Miss Lu lives on campus; she wouldn’t need to rent a house, right?" Zhang Tianhai suddenly paused, "Does Miss Lu want to move out and live with you?"

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Well...that’s not impossible.

Zhang Tianhai’s words reminded Zhou Shuyan.

Lu Youxi didn’t know his true identity.

If he were to rent a place with Lu Youxi, would he not have to worry like he did now, knowing there were unreliable guys pursuing Lu Youxi at school, but being helpless to do anything about it?

"Tell me about it, what’s the renting process?" Zhou Shuyan urgently asked.

Zhang Tianhai thought that actually, this kind of matter could easily be handled by Yu Zeqin.

But since the Family Head asked, Zhang Tianhai carefully replied, "Usually, you go to a real estate agency, tell them your price range, desired location, and housing requirements. In short, let the agency know clearly what kind of house you want to rent, then they’ll recommend properties based on your requirements. The agents will take you to see houses, but you usually won’t find a good one after just one or two viewings. There will definitely be ones that aren’t suitable. Of course, if money is no object, it’s very easy to find the right house. The rest is just signing a contract with the landlord, which the agency will handle."

"How long did it take you to find a house?" This surely exceeded Zhou Shuyan’s knowledge.

"It took me quite a while," said Zhang Tianhai. "I needed to balance the cost of rent and commuting time. Since I typically drive to pick you up and traffic in the Imperial Capital is often congested, I had to consider the travel time on the roads. It’d be best to be closer when picking you up to reduce the time stuck in traffic. There’s also the layout of the house, its size, including the interior facilities. Everything had to be suitable. It took me over two months. I honestly can’t even remember how many places I looked at, but it wasn’t easy to decide. The Imperial Capital has a lot of listings, but finding one that’s right for you is still tricky."

Zhou Shuyan got a rough idea and then sent a message to Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi’s military training for the day had ended. She was used to doing farm work and chores at home, so training all day didn’t bother her much.

But the others couldn’t handle it. After a day’s training, they felt like their bones were falling apart, and every step they took, their feet throbbed with soreness.

Lu Youxi, supporting Lu Xiaohui, who was grimacing in pain, felt her phone vibrate and ring from her pocket.

She held up Lu Xiaohui with one hand and took out the phone with the other.

The phone screens weren’t so big back then, and Lu Youxi could manage it with just one hand.

Zhou Shuyan: "Once your military training is over, shall we find time to look at houses?"

This unexpected message startled Lu Youxi so much that she almost dropped her phone.

She quickly steadied it, wondering if Zhou Shuyan was considering living a married life with her.

But that thought had barely surfaced for a second before she quashed it.

Lu Youxi: "Look at what house?"

Zhou Shuyan: "You’re planning to bring your parents and Youxue over. Shouldn’t we look at houses early?"

Zhou Shuyan: "There’s no shortage of properties in the Imperial Capital, but finding one that meets the requirements is still hard. For safety’s sake, I think it’s best if we start looking two to three months in advance. That way, when your parents and Youxue arrive, there will be a place for them to stay."

Lu Youxi: "How do you know so much?"

Had she misunderstood?

She had always felt that Zhou Shuyan was not an ordinary person, and the air of nobility he carried was not something one could cultivate later in life.

He didn’t even know how to buy a bus or train ticket.

Things that were common knowledge to ordinary people were unknown to Zhou Shuyan.

Could this man really know such details about renting?

Zhou Shuyan raised an eyebrow, curious about how he appeared in Lu Youxi’s eyes.

Zhou Shuyan: "I’m also a worker in the Imperial Capital."

Lu Youxi thought he must be kidding, but she replied, "I’ve inquired about the rent in the Imperial Capital, and I don’t have enough money to cover it right now. So, I plan to look later on."

Zhou Shuyan: "Let’s look first; if there’s something suitable, I can front the money."

Lu Youxi: "It would not hurt to look at houses first."

But she definitely wouldn’t need Zhou Shuyan to front the rental costs.

Lu Youxi only said half of what she meant, but Zhou Shuyan understood the implied part.

Lu Youxi seemed to keep things very clear between them.

Zhou Shuyan: "Okay, then after your training, let’s go house-hunting."

After all, he had achieved his goal of finding a legitimate reason to meet Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi stared at her phone screen, still somewhat in a daze.

How had Zhou Shuyan suddenly decided to go house-hunting with her? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Lost in thought, she failed to notice someone else approaching.

"Junior sister, who are you chatting with so intently?" Lin Jingshen had somehow arrived next to Lu Youxi without her noticing.

Hearing the voice, Lu Youxi turned and saw Lin Jingshen peering at her phone screen.

Lu Youxi frowned and tucked her phone away, "It’s not nice to look at someone else’s chat without permission, is it?"

Lin Jingshen smiled wryly in defense, "I didn’t see anything, just casually glanced over out of curiosity. I’m really sorry."
