Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1234 - 1219: A Shocking Scene

"More capable than you..."

Song Yun frowned and said, "Are you talking about presence, career?"

"I think he has to be more capable than me in every aspect; that’s the kind of man I like." Liu Ruoxi smiled charmingly. Her personality was typically cool and strong, but not as cold as an iceberg, so her seductive smile was more potent than those of many women.

Song Yun wasn’t in the best shape tonight. After seeing Liu Ruoxi’s enchanting smile and the white snow on the mountain peaks, he suddenly felt heated.

Actually, Song Yun didn’t realize that his condition wasn’t due to being unwell but because his body was recovering from a major injury. Every aspect hadn’t reached its best yet, making it difficult to control his body.

"Well, that’s really... really quite hard to find." After pondering for a moment, Song Yun said, "I’ll help you look around. At least find someone older than you, right?"

"That’s not necessary." Liu Ruoxi shook her head and said, "As long as he has the capability, even if he’s three or four years younger than me, it doesn’t matter."

"That’s... that’s fine." Song Yun said, "I’ll ask around for you."

Liu Ruoxi looked at the awkward and embarrassed Song Yun and felt thoroughly satisfied. Although she was nearing thirty, Liu Ruoxi had a somewhat childlike mentality, contrasting greatly with the image she projected to others. Generally, people who are lively and cheerful in public are often more introverted and low-key privately. Liu Ruoxi was dominant and cold in public but playful and cute in private.

"Then thank you, come on, eat more, eat more." Liu Ruoxi said.

Song Yun quickly nodded and continued to eat heartily.

After a while, Song Yun finally finished everything in his bowl, followed by a satisfied belch.

Liu Ruoxi said, "Let’s go to the living room and have tea."

Smiling, Liu Ruoxi got up and with a swaying figure, walked into the living room. Song Yun had been considering leaving quickly, as staying there felt weirdly awkward. But since tea after meals was customary in the south and Liu Ruoxi had suggested it, not joining her would seem impolite.

Liu Ruoxi skillfully laid out the tea setup and boiled water, while Song Yun sat on the couch, a bit unsure of what to do.

At that moment, Song Yun’s phone rang.

It was a text message.

Song Yun checked it; it was a message from Zhao Yan asking about his current activities and if he wanted to have dinner. Song Yun replied that he was busy and then placed his phone on the coffee table in front of him.

Brewing the tea felt emotionless, neither happy nor sad. Liu Ruoxi didn’t tease Song Yun further; teasing depends on grasping the right amount — too much becomes provocative, and Liu Ruoxi, being a high-level leader, wouldn’t likely provoke Song Yun, right?

"Well, Ruoxi, I’ll be leaving first." Song Yun stood up and said, "I’m estimating I’ll return to Sunan tomorrow. If you ever visit Sunan, contact me."

"Leaving so soon? Not staying a bit longer?" Liu Ruoxi asked with a meaningful smile.

"Well..."

Song Yun swallowed and glanced at Liu Ruoxi’s alluring collarbones, saying, "There’s no need; I need to rest early."

"Oh."

Liu Ruoxi sighed wistfully and said, "Well... alright then."

Song Yun nodded and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I’ll be going now; no need to see me out!"

After speaking, Song Yun turned and left.

Liu Ruoxi didn’t see Song Yun off; instead, she watched him leave with a sweet smile, then sighed softly.

"Song Yun, tsk tsk tsk, young and capable, with immense influence — you indeed make a good marriage prospect."

Liu Ruoxi whispered to herself, then turned and entered her room.

Inside her room, Liu Ruoxi looked at her pink bed, and for some reason, Song Yun’s image came to her mind.

"Oh."

Liu Ruoxi sighed again, walked to the bed, opened the bed-side drawer, and took out the Divine Artifact that Song Yun had previously discovered.

After leaving Liu Ruoxi’s villa, Song Yun let out a sigh of relief and stood at her doorstep, wondering why he felt such discomfort.

After pondering for a few minutes without reaching any conclusions, Song Yun decided to stop thinking about it. He glanced at Liu Ruoxi’s room with its glowing light and couldn’t help but wonder what it would look like when Liu Ruoxi was using the Divine Artifact inside her room.

Song Yun habitually patted his pocket to check his phone but realized it seemed he had left it at Liu Ruoxi’s house.

"Oh."

Song Yun frowned, lamenting, "What’s wrong with me? Could it be that after getting injured, I also messed up my brain? My memory keeps getting worse!"

While thinking, Song Yun quickly headed back into Liu Ruoxi’s home.

Song Yun had only casually closed the door when he left Liu Ruoxi’s villa and hadn’t locked it. Standing by the door, he opened it and walked back in.

"Looks like it’s on the second floor."

Song Yun remembered he had taken out his phone after receiving Zhao Yan’s message and had left it on the coffee table, which was on the second floor of the villa.

Song Yun went directly upstairs.

The second floor also had a door that Song Yun had gently closed when he left, not locking it.

Song Yun opened the door, walked inside, and immediately saw his phone on the coffee table.

Song Yun glanced around but didn’t see Liu Ruoxi, so he quietly walked over to the coffee table, picked up his phone, and was about to leave without leaving a trace when he heard a sound he found familiar.

Song Yun frowned and followed the sound to the door of Liu Ruoxi’s room. The door wasn’t shut tight, and through the gap, Song Yun looked inside and froze.

This scene seemed familiar... It felt like something he’d seen in a movie...

Gulp.

Song Yun swallowed, a bit dumbfounded.

Liu Ruoxi inside the room had no idea someone was peeping in, let alone that the person was Song Yun, who had just left.

In Liu Ruoxi’s mind, flashes of Song Yun’s slim yet strangely comforting physique made her softly murmur, "Song Yun..."
