"You, kid, are quite heartless, just leaving like this?"
As soon as the phone connected, Lin Weidong said helplessly.
Zhou Yu chuckled, "It's just that I was afraid of her."
Zhou Yu was certain that if he had bid farewell to Zhao Ruyue, she would have found a way to keep him there.
Firstly, Zhou Yu felt his mission was complete and he didn't want to stay any longer at the new recruit training base.
Secondly, Zhao Ruyue's current demeanor made Zhou Yu instinctively want to escape.
After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lin Weidong sighed and said, half-jokingly, "You, truly don't know your blessings. Even if you didn't bid farewell to that Zhao family girl, you should have at least told me, right?"
"Just now, that Zhao family girl barged in and questioned me, almost making me lose face!"
Zhou Yu smiled. Although Lin Weidong was complaining verbally, Zhou Yu knew that Lin Weidong didn't take it to heart.
So he said, "Thank you, Old Lin, for blocking for me. After this batch of new recruit training ends, give me a chance to treat you to a meal."
"You, kid..." Lin Weidong was torn between laughter and tears.
After chatting about trivial matters for a while, they hung up the phone.
Lin Weidong had wanted to tell Zhou Yu about the Shadow Organization.
But walls have ears.
It was ultimately not safe to discuss such confidential matters over a phone line.
Besides, Zhou Yu had already left the new recruit training base, and there was no reason for him to continue working for the Dragon Group!
After hanging up the phone.
Zhou Yu looked up and met Su Yuyan's curious gaze.
"Who... who called?" Su Yuyan asked cautiously.
She had seemed to hear Zhao Ruyue's name mentioned on the phone just now.
Otherwise, Su Yuyan would not have asked at all!
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "It was Old Lin. Let's eat first, before the food gets cold!"
There was a table full of delicious dishes.
It was Su Yuyan who had said they should welcome Zhou Yu.
Originally, she had wanted to invite Zhou Yu to the Su family mansion for dinner.
But Old Master Su, upon second thought, realized this was a good opportunity to foster their relationship.
He immediately instructed Su Yuyan to book a private room outside and treat Zhou Yu to a meal alone!
"Okay." Su Yuyan obediently lowered her head and slowly began to eat.
But she picked at each grain of rice, appearing to have no appetite!
Su Yuyan urgently wanted to know how far Zhou Yu and Zhao Ruyue's relationship had progressed.
Was it what she had imagined?
However, out of a woman's sense of modesty, Su Yuyan found it difficult to ask directly.
Thus, she was distracted!
Although Su Yuyan had known for a long time that someone like Zhou Yu would not be with just one woman.
But just as Old Master Su had said.
Zhou Yu and Su Yuyan had only obtained their marriage certificate; they had not truly become husband and wife yet!
Su Yuyan feared that Zhou Yu might have gotten involved with someone during this period.
If that happened, she would no longer be the most important person in Zhou Yu's heart!
Not long after.
Zhou Yu also noticed Su Yuyan's absentmindedness and asked with a wry smile, "What are you thinking about?"
"Ah?" Su Yuyan was still lost in her thoughts and didn't react immediately.
Her small cherry mouth parted slightly, and she looked at Zhou Yu blankly.
After a while, Su Yuyan's face suddenly flushed.
"N-nothing, I was just a bit curious about how Zhao Ruyue came up in Old Lin's conversation."
So it was about that!
Zhou Yu felt a bit helpless now.
He immediately explained, "I went to the new recruit training, and Zhao Ruyue joined the medical team."
"When I left this time, I didn't inform them, so Old Lin called to inquire."
Hearing this, Su Yuyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it wasn't what she had feared!
Furthermore, from Zhou Yu's tone, it seemed that he hadn't had any special interactions with Zhao Ruyue during his time at the Dragon Group's new recruit training.
"I was overthinking. Are you free tomorrow? It's my grandfather's birthday, and I'd like to invite you to attend." Su Yuyan said with a smile, showing no trace of her earlier distress!
Zhou Yu secretly shook his head.
A woman's face is like the sky in June!
"Is the old man planning a grand celebration this year?" Zhou Yu asked.
Su Yuyan nodded slightly.
Because of Su Qishan's situation, the Su family was temporarily being steered by the old man.
Therefore, for this birthday celebration, Old Master Su intended to let Su Yuyan make an appearance and simultaneously announce that Su Qichuan would temporarily take over as the head of the family.
Of course, Su Qichuan himself was certainly not entirely willing.
He was now fully committed to the company in Jiangnan City, aiming to make it bigger and stronger.
But there was no alternative.
Old Master Su also wanted Su Yuyan to take charge directly, but her qualifications were insufficient!
It wasn't enough for Old Master Su and Su Qichuan to acknowledge her; the elders of the Su family would surely cause trouble.
Therefore, Su Qichuan temporarily acting as the head of the family was merely for appearances.
Old Master Su planned to gradually cultivate Su Yuyan and have her take over the Su family.
She would be officially announced when the time was right!
"Alright, I will definitely be there tomorrow."
Zhou Yu nodded slightly.
Regardless of anything else, he and Su Yuyan were now nominal spouses.
Not attending Old Master Su's birthday banquet would be too suspicious.
Zhou Yu did not want Su Yuyan to be gossiped about after marrying him!
"Mmm, you're so good." Su Yuyan said, her earlobes turning red.
Zhou Yu chuckled, "Can you eat properly now?"
Su Yuyan nodded haphazardly, shoveling food into her bowl.
After the meal was finished.
Zhou Yu saw Su Yuyan to the entrance of the Su family old residence.
"Do you want to come in for a cup of tea? Grandpa really misses you," Su Yuyan invited, yet her neck was already flushed red!
Zhou Yu looked blankly at Su Yuyan's expression, not quite understanding.
Just for a cup of tea, why was Su Yuyan looking so shy?
However, Zhou Yu wanted to return to Yunlan Tiangong to rest as soon as possible, so he politely declined Su Yuyan's invitation.
"We'll be seeing each other tomorrow anyway. I need to rush back and prepare the birthday gift tonight."
"Get some rest early."
After speaking, Zhou Yu turned and left.
Watching Zhou Yu's retreating back, Su Yuyan's face instantly fell.
She gently patted her cheeks, feeling the burning heat, and shyly said, "Su Yuyan, you really are something. It was just a cup of tea, and you scared him away!"
It was important to note that before they set out, Old Master Su had instructed Su Xingyang to give Su Yuyan some intensive training.
The purpose was naturally to have Su Yuyan win over Zhou Yu during the meal.
But now, it seemed Su Yuyan had not achieved her intended goal!
Su Yuyan stood at her doorstep for a while, feeling the cold wind, before gradually calming down.
Only then did she slowly enter the house.
She saw that in the main hall, Old Master Su was sitting on a chair made of sandalwood, craning his neck to look outside.
As soon as he saw Su Yuyan returning, the old man's face lit up with joy, and he was about to call out.
However, he then saw that there was no one behind Su Yuyan, and his smile instantly froze on his face.
