At Eleanor's suggestion, Su Xia acquired the courtyard for tens of thousands of interstellar coins less than the budget.

There's no time like the present, so after signing the contract, Su Xia decided to move out. It just so happened that he was also going to start filming a movie, so this was a perfect time.

But with his grandparents at home, it's... difficult for him to operate.

Su Yinchen didn't care, but he had to consider Su Wangqiu and Lan Ruozhi's feelings.

He could leave alone, using the excuse of filming a movie, but what about his luggage?

It was truly a stroke of luck; the day after the formalities were completed, Su Xia overheard Lan Ruozhi and Su Wangqiu discussing visiting Qiao You that afternoon.

Su Xia's eyes darted around, and an idea came to her.

"Xiaxia, are you coming with us?" Lan Ruozhi asked.

During his stay at Yunlai Manor, almost every elder noticed the conflict between him and Su Yinchen, but no one asked him about it, which made Su Xia very grateful.

Su Xia respected Lan Ruozhi and Su Wangqiu.

"Grandma, I have to go to the company this afternoon," Su Xia said apologetically. "The film crew is about to start shooting."

Lan Ruozhi knew about Su Xia's current work and was very supportive, "Oh! Okay, then Xiaxia, work hard. Grandma will definitely watch the TV series when it airs."

"Grandma watched your previous variety show more than ten times. Our Xiaxia is really excellent."

Su Xia smiled and scratched her head.

In the afternoon, Lan Ruozhi and Su Wangqiu went to Yushuiwan Villa together.

Su Sang went to Jingyue Star with His Majesty, and Su Yinchen left early in the morning.

So at this moment, he was the only one at Yunlai Manor.

The things I need to take from the room have already been packed.

He took some of the gifts he received, the clothes and jewelry he bought himself, and the outfits that Su Yinchen had prepared for him, but he didn't take any of them.

"Goodbye." Su Xia stood at the entrance of Yunlai Manor and turned back to say goodbye.

He was grateful to Su Yinchen, and now that he had the ability, he would repay her in other ways.

But he is selfish and doesn't want incomplete love.

He likes Su Yinchen, but that doesn't mean he can accept Su Yinchen's doting affection, the kind of doting affection that's no different from that of a spirit pet.

He is an independent individual with the right to pursue his own dreams. He wants to be a tree that grows independently, not a flower that can only depend on others.

When Su Yinchen objected to his work filming the advertisement, he knew there would be a disagreement between them.

Even when he was still a little merman, he was particularly interested in Su Yinchen's crush on the Empire's female celebrity, Aselin. The two had even dined together a few times, and were photographed by the media.

Su Yinchen would always dress up carefully, looking like a peacock when she went out.

He had asked her about it, and Su Yinchen said directly that Aceline was a goddess, his ideal type, not a realistic type for dating or marriage...

Su Xia was illiterate and didn't understand the difference between ideals and reality; all he knew was that loving one person was the only thing that mattered.

Just like His Highness and Youyou.

He couldn't accept Su Yinchen's argument, so he chose to leave.

The hovercar started up, and the scenery outside the window kept changing. This time, we were really leaving Yunlai Manor.

Su Xia didn't know how to describe her emotions at this moment: freedom, open-mindedness, hope, and also reluctance.

This is his little courtyard, a courtyard that belongs exclusively to Su Xia.

In the morning, he had already contacted workers to change all the locks on the small courtyard, which was his own private space.

Soon, Su Xia arrived at his new home with his luggage.

It took Su Xia a full seven minutes to walk from the gate of the courtyard to the entrance on the first floor. After pressing her fingerprint, the door opened.

I left my luggage at the door and excitedly explored every room.

Then I lay down on the sofa in the living room, "Phew!"

Tears welled up in Su Xia's eyes, but she moved her head and stretched it out, managing to hold them back.

Su Xia wanted to share her emotions with Qiao You, so she took out her personal terminal and sent a message to Qiao You first.

At this moment, Qiao You was chatting with his grandparents in the living room when he received Su Xia's message. He made an excuse to return to his bedroom and dialed Su Xia's personal computer.

"Xiaxia! I'm so proud of you!" Qiao You shouted as soon as the video call connected.

Su Xia, who had been holding back her tears, could no longer contain them, "Youyou..."

"I'm here," Qiao You replied.

The two chatted for a while, and finally Qiao You waved his hand and said, "Xiaxia, I'll come over and keep you company tonight."

This is Xiaxia's first night in the new house, and Qiao You wants to stay with her.

"Will His Highness agree?" Su Xia pointed out the crux of the problem. Given His Highness's possessiveness, it was hard to say.

Qiao You patted his chest and gave an OK sign, "I'll agree. Wait for my good news."

"Mmm." Su Xia gave the same OK sign, and the two little ones touched in the air.

Su Wangqiu and Lan Ruozhi stayed for a while, then Su Wangqiu told Helian Jue to take good care of the person before leaving.

Qiao You approached Helian Jue for help, saying, "Brother, I need your help with something."

Helian Jue bent down and met Qiao You's gaze. "What is it?"

Qiao You told Helian Jue his idea, "Is it okay? Just for tonight."

"I want to spend some time with Xiaxia."

Without much thought, Helian Jue immediately agreed, "Okay."

"I'll take you there in a bit," Helian Jue tapped Qiao You's nose. "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Qiao You started showering Helian Jue with compliments, which made Helian Jue feel quite flattered.

"Hmm... Brother, you can pick me up again this afternoon." Qiao You took the opportunity to extend the time, "Xiaxia has to go to the company this afternoon."

Helian Jue was speechless. If he didn't agree, it would seem like he was letting down Qiao You's hard work in praising him.

I could only grit my teeth again and back down, saying, "Fine."

"As long as the little fish is happy."

Qiao You happily announced, "Brother, I'm so happy!"

As evening fell, Helian Jue escorted Qiao You to Su Xia's new home. Before leaving, he gave Qiao You a few more instructions and watched as the little fish happily entered the yard and fed the koi, completely forgetting about him. He felt inexplicably annoyed...

On the way home in the hovercar, Helian Jue asked Lin Zhong to pass on a message, asking everyone to come to the East Palace for an offline meeting.

Lin Zhong was completely baffled. Why... why was there a meeting all of a sudden?

Didn't His Highness say not to contact him, but to call or video chat directly if needed...?

But Lin Zhong dared not disobey His Highness's order, and quickly relayed the message. Forty minutes later, everyone gathered in the East Palace conference room.

The meeting summarized recent work and made plans for the future, lasting until 2 a.m.

Meanwhile, Su Xia and Qiao You started a fun late-night chat, enjoying barbecue, juice, TV dramas, and gossip...

Their chats covered everything, and they even slept in the same bed at night.

Su Xia's bad mood from moving was swept away, and she was full of energy and vitality!
