Chapter 436: Move Out
Yuan Yumeng ignored the two people being lovey-dovey behind her and dragged her luggage straight into the house...Actually, this time she had decided on a major thing: she was going to move out and live on her own. She had been an adult for several years now, and as an adopted daughter, it didn’t seem quite right to stay in this family forever. After thinking it over carefully, she felt leaving home was better.
Huo Junting didn’t stay long; shortly after dropping Yuan Yumeng home, he returned to the company, as there were still many things waiting for him to strategize there.
However, on the way driving back to the company, the figure lingering in his mind wasn’t Yuan Yuqi, but rather Yuan Yumeng.
She occupied his entire mind like a giant.
...
As soon as Yuan Yumeng got home, she grabbed two stuffed toys and a few clothes that she could wear and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Yuan Yuqi held onto her suitcase, "Sister, where are you going? Why are you leaving just after you got back?"
"Yu Xi, I’m planning to move out. I’ll come back to see Mom and Dad whenever I can. I’ll still handle the household expenses, don’t worry."
Since she became an adult, she was primarily responsible for the daily expenses in this household. As the eldest daughter, she naturally needed to be more responsible, and besides, the Yuan Family had been kind to her, giving her a warm home.
Yuan Yuqi was taken aback, "Move out and live on your own?"
"Yeah."
At this moment, Yuan Yumeng inadvertently noticed the little bear hanging on Yuan Yuqi’s bag, and her eyes suddenly started moisting, "Yu Xi, can you give me back that little bear?"
"I really can’t bear to part with it!"
"No way, you gave it to me before, so it’s mine!" Yuan Yuqi was very excited, "You can’t go back on your word!"
Yuan Yumeng said helplessly and dejectedly, "Okay, if you want it, it’s yours. Everything is yours! I’m leaving, let Mom and Dad know when they come back."
"Wait."
Yuan Yuqi suddenly stopped her, "You’ve really decided to move out?"
"...Yeah."
Yuan Yumeng hoped for her to ask her to stay, although they weren’t blood-related, but after living together for so long, they were accustomed to each other’s presence.
If she really moved out, surely she would feel a little reluctant!
But Yuan Yuqi smiled and said, "That’s great! I was just worried about not having a studio. Once you move out, I can ask Dad to turn your room into my studio."
As she spoke, Yuan Yuqi suddenly became excited again, "Sis, let me tell you! Jun Ting is planning to hold a personal art exhibition for me! I never dared to dream about it before; a personal exhibition felt so far away, but I didn’t expect it to come true so soon."
"..." Yuan Yumeng didn’t know what to say; eventually, all she could muster was a sigh and two words, "Take care."
Yuan Yuqi waved goodbye as if nothing was amiss, yet internally she thought, thank goodness that annoying person is finally leaving!
As Yuan Yumeng walked out of the neighborhood, she suddenly felt a bit lost and somewhat regretted her haste in moving out.
She should’ve stayed for a night, then gone out first thing tomorrow morning to look for a temporary place to stay, and then seek an internship.
Now she was low on money, had no place to stay, nor a job, hardly better than someone who has none of those things.
As she was at a loss, her phone rang. She took one look at the caller ID and answered lazily, "Song Song."
"Hey, my brother must have picked you up! Are you back home now? I’ve just finished class; it’s been so long since my last class, my brain is stuffed with too much info, I feel like throwing up."
Yuan Yumeng plopped down on her suitcase, "No rush, I can give you extra lessons later."
"Hmm, hey... wait a sec! You sound gloomy? Uh, could it be my brother picked you up and gave you a hard time again?"
