Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 313: Heart

The early morning in Hills County was generally quiet; apart from the city center, there was practically no one around.

Song Yufeng and Lin Yuxia walked side by side down the street. Lin Yuxia seemed very happy that night, humming a little tune as she strolled leisurely beside Song Yufeng, just like an ordinary little girl.

"You seem very happy," Song Yufeng said with a smile.

“Of course, strolling slowly on the streets at night is quite pleasant for me. I’ve been having some insomnia lately, and I usually jog or walk briskly, and I usually have a lot of people around me reporting to me… But this is just right… And with you by my side, I feel very safe,” Lin Yuxia said with a smile.

Song Yufeng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I feel that safe?"

"Yes, a strong support. Although I never want to rely on anyone, I still subconsciously gravitate towards you. Perhaps it's because your previous performance was too amazing."

"You've worked hard these past few days." Song Yufeng had lost count of how many times he had said something like this.

Lin Yuxia didn't say anything, just smiled and shook her head, then followed Song Yufeng back to his side. Song Yufeng understood that Lin Yuxia wanted to enjoy this pleasant time a little longer, so he also shut his mouth and walked quietly. However, the distance between the two of them kept getting closer and closer.

As Song Yufeng watched the two slowly approach each other, he couldn't help but think of what Sister Shu had said to him after the dinner party earlier that day.

—Three hours ago—

Sister Shu grabbed Song Yufeng's hand and led him to a small corner of the restaurant.

"What are you doing, Sister Shu? Why are you in such a hurry..." Before Song Yufeng could finish speaking, Sister Shu covered his mouth with a finger.

"Song Yufeng, what are your plans for the future?"

"My future? Well... let's go to Londinium."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant," Sister Shu said, frowning and shaking her head.

"Huh? That's..."

“This is a major event in your life! A major event in your life! You should be 20 this year, right? You haven’t even been in a relationship yet, what a pity! You’re in the prime of your youth right now. Who knows what might happen when you go to Lentinium this time? This matter can’t be delayed.” Sister Shu said with a frown.

Although Sister Shu had shown this maternal glow before, this was the first time she had talked to Song Yufeng about this.

In fact, it wasn't just Sister Shu who was worried about Song Yufeng's situation; the entire Minghuang was discussing Song Yufeng's life. Ever since that Maria incident, who Song Yufeng's future spouse would be had become a topic of gossip throughout Minghuang.

The discussion has been intense. There's no way around it; Song Yufeng is just too outstanding, and he has many close and equally outstanding women around him. Suddenly, all sorts of CP (couple pairing) shippers have sprung up, and even Sister Shu herself has been privately paired with Song Yufeng by some people.

Of course, Song Yufeng must not know about these things. In fact, apart from Song Yufeng, this matter is common knowledge in Minghuang.

"No... Sister Shu, our gods have a very long lifespan."

"That won't work either. What if something happens to you in Londinium?"

"But...we're facing a formidable enemy right now, and I don't have the time for that...besides, there's no suitable..."

"Isn't there a suitable one...?" Suddenly, a purple-haired woman flashed through Song Yufeng's mind... Song Yufeng quickly shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

Sister Shu was clearly dissatisfied. There were so many outstanding girls in Minghuang, and Song Yufeng just said there weren't any suitable ones? Wasn't that just fooling her?

For a moment, Song Yufeng didn't know how to respond. For some reason, Song Yufeng blurted out, "Actually, it's not impossible for Sister Shu."

"Pfft!" Sister Shu's face immediately turned bright red, and then she slapped Song Yufeng on the back.

"What are you saying! I definitely can't!" This was the first time Song Yufeng had seen Sister Shu so flustered. Sister Shu quickly calmed down and said, "Anyway... the two of us... uh... absolutely, absolutely impossible."

"Well, Sister Shu, what can I do? I already said, there aren't any suitable ones."

"Ahem, Song Yufeng, tell me the truth now, what are your feelings for Lin Yuxia?" Sister Shu knew all too well; she had long seen that the two had feelings for each other, but they had just never confessed to each other.

Song Yufeng stood at attention. He didn't know how to answer the question for a moment. In fact, he also felt some strange emotions in his heart. He couldn't explain what his feelings for Lin Yuxia were.

Although Song Yufeng has been reborn, he was actually his first love with his wife from his previous life, which means that his romantic experience is just so-so.

Now his feelings for Lin Yuxia are too complicated; he can't tell whether he's more grateful or more fond of her.

"I...I don't know..."

"It's actually very simple, Song Yufeng. Ask yourself, do you like Lin Yuxia?"

Song Yufeng recalled the times he spent with Lin Yuxia, especially today, the moment Lin Yuxia hugged him, the feeling of his heart racing... it was undeniable.

Song Yufeng asked himself this question again, and finally he said, "I think I still like it."

Yes, Song Yufeng likes Lin Yuxia; that feeling is undeniable.

"That's right! You two are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"

"But does Lin Yuxia like me?" Song Yufeng asked.

"Song Yufeng, if we're really talking about dating, how many girls in Minghuang do you think would refuse you?" Sister Shu laughed. There was no way around it; as a leader, Song Yufeng was also close to his subordinates, so no one disliked him. He was just too charming.

"Go for it, Song Yufeng! Tonight is your chance!"

Back to the present —

Thinking about what Sister Shu had said, Song Yufeng glanced back, and what he saw almost startled him. With his enhanced senses, he clearly saw that Sister Shu, Frostnova, Lilina, Margaret, Xiao Cai, Franka, Liskarm… almost all the members of the Underworld were tracking him from multiple angles! Some were even holding phones—what? Were they livestreaming for Talulah and the others?!

Song Yufeng's lips twitched slightly. These guys... after things are settled tomorrow, I'll definitely teach them a lesson.

"What's wrong, Song Yufeng?" Lin Yuxia asked, turning around.

"No, it's nothing... Let's continue walking around," Song Yufeng quickly said.

Lin Yuxia didn't suspect anything, since Song Yufeng said he was fine, so he probably really was.

Song Yufeng didn't want to care about anything else. He asked himself again: Did he really like Lin Yuxia?

He recalled what had just happened at the firm and finally made up his mind.

Yes, I like Lin Yuxia.

This is Song Yufeng's idea.

Now, seeing how close the two were, Song Yufeng finally made his move.

He grasped Lin Yuxia's small hand and, under her surprised gaze, said, "Will this make you feel more at ease...?"
