Chapter 162 - I want to move out (8) (2/2)

”Unless?” Jeremy asked nervously.

”Unless you want her to put a distance between you two,” Mr Long continued.

”Well... what if...” Mrs Long looked at her husband, ”What if this distance helps bringing them together without the pressure?”

Both the Long men looked at her in puzzled. She was the most excited one when she heard the news but now she was the most calm.

”Maybe she was nervous because she is overwhelmed with the size of this house,” Mrs Long suggested. While the men were asking questions, she took the chance to think about this carefully. She did know that Ryn did not care about the wealth of the family and with her upbringing under her hippy parents, she might be a lot uncomfortable in this kind of surrounding.

”What do you mean, mother? She is not nervous in this house. She is used with everyone. She looks happy here,” Jeremy denied.

”Your mother might be right,” Mr Long said thoughtfully. When his wife said that, he remembered about Ryn's family background. ”What kind of a house she bought and rented?”

”Both are apartments,” the butler reported.

”Apartments?”

”The rented house is closer to her campus while the house she bought quite close to the countryside, just at the edge of the city but has quite a good security,” the cook reported.

”At least the place is secured,” Mr Long sighed heavily.

”How far is it from here?” ignoring his father's words, Jeremy asked the most important question.

”An hour and a half minimum,” the butler answered. The house Miss Catherine chose was quite far from here, which was why the servants were so frustrated with her decision. Why would she do that? They all did not understand it at all.

Jeremy groaned under his breath. Ryn seriously was trying her best to get away from him. She did not care whether it would hurt him or bring trouble to her.

Unaware of what was happening in the dining room between the Longs, Ryn quickly headed out and entered Mei Li's car. She quickly pulled the safety belt and urged Mei Li to drive quickly.

Mei Li obeyed even though she planned to ask about Ryn's condition today first. She switched the gear and let the car driven away. Her brows lifted up seeing how exaggerated Ryn was when Ryn blew out a sigh of relieve.

”That's too much, don't you think? Were you running from someone? From a dragon?” Mei Li teased.

”More like a whole clan of dragons,” Ryn murmured but Mei Li did not catch that. Ryn turned her head to look out of the window, letting Mei Li making her own assumption. It did not matter what others think. She just wanted to live her own life in her own way.

It took them almost two hours to reach her rented house, all thanks to the traffic jam. It was heavy and there was raining. Today was not a good day in Ryn's opinion, but life has to move on and whether she prefered to return back to sleep under the rain, she needed to go to her new rented house to check on it.

She wanted to see what happened to the house. Being unable to observe the moving process, she was a bit worried. Of course, she believed in Mei Li but she was just being childish.

Mei Li parked the cute car at the space specifically for Ryn's house. The landlord provided a parking space for one tenant with a fee. Then, both women walked together to the elevator and headed to her new house.

”Sorry, I haven't arranged much,” Mei Li apologized when she unlocked and opened the door.

”How much can you do with so many things to do?” Ryn replied back as she entered the house.

Mei Li turned and locked the door back, blocking the inside from other people who wanted to see who just moved into the house.

”I've cleaned as best as I could,” Mei Li added when Ryn walked into the kitchen and looked at the boxes labelled 'kitchen' on the counter, then at the refrigerator and the oven. They did not move the stove because this house already has its own stove. The stove at the old house would be donated as the new house she bought, she would install a new stove; four stoves instead of two.

Mei Li followed behind Ryn as she checked the other rooms. Boxes labelled with so many words scattered around the place. But at least the huge furniture like the cupboard, the nightstand and even the bed was placed at its place. Only the television was not set yet because Mei Li was not sure where Ryn wanted to put the television.

”Let's start,” Ryn took out the sweater she was wearing, revealing the spaghetti top. She sat on her knees and opened a box randomly. It was a box full of books.

Mei Li opened another box labelled books and helped Ryn arranged them in the bookshelves. With two working together, it took them no time to finish arranging the books. Then, they moved to the living room. Ryn looked around to see where she wanted the television would be and once she decided the location, both she and Mei Li worked together to move the cabinet and then placed the television on top. Ryn decided not to hang it on the wall, too lazy to drill even though she was quite a pro with an electric drill. Besides, this was a temporary place for her so she would not put a lot of emphasize on decorating for this house, just enough to live comfortably.

It took them until 3.00 p.m. to be done with the arranging. Mei Li and Ryn slumped themselves against the couch, panting. Moving really took a lot of time and energy.
