Chapter 50, The 50th Beam of Light: "Try me? Let's have a secret relationship."...
Yu Mushang suppressed a smile. "So, you mean I won completely?"
Song Xingyun didn't know what was going on with his sudden competitive spirit, but it was a fact. Compared to Chi Yu, Yu Mushang naturally made her feel more relaxed. "Hmm..."
Yu Mushang's facial muscles relaxed. "I think you're not bad either."
Song Xingyun: ?
The man's next words didn't keep her waiting long: "You think I'm good, and I think you're good too. Does this blind date count as a success?"
Song Xingyun, still somewhat dazed, didn't think much of it and nodded in response to his words. Then, remembering that he couldn't see her, she secretly patted her head and said, "Mmm..."
To her surprise, Yu Mushang's next words startled her so much that she jumped up from her chair.
He said, "Then why don't we give it a try?"
Song Xingyun was momentarily speechless, only able to say "Huh?" "What, what do you mean, try it?" Yu Mushang wasn't in a hurry, but instead stated very seriously, "Song Xingyun, last night was my first kiss."
His ears turned red immediately after he finished speaking; he was shy.
His innocent appearance didn't quite match his outward image.
Song Xingyun felt her heart pounding like a machine gun as he jumped between topics so quickly. The words "first kiss" almost made her go crazy. "First...first kiss..." She still remembered him saying that he wanted her to take responsibility.
However, "You, you're not at a loss, I am too..."
Oh my god, it's so embarrassing to say those words.
She figured her expression at that moment was probably no different from Yu Mushang's.
Ke Yu Mushang seemed to be deliberately teasing her, "You too? Too what?"
Was he feigning ignorance? Song Xingyun clenched her fists, closed her eyes as if she were going all in, and said, "First kiss! My first kiss was also my first kiss! You...you're not at a loss!"
"Oh?" The man's voice made Song Xingyun want to strangle him for the first time. How could this man be so cunning?
Although Yu Mushang pursed his lips, Song Xingyun still saw the bright smile on his lips.
Is he happy?
Yu Mushang then got down to business, "Since that's the case, I'm willing to take responsibility. We know each other well, and the blind date went smoothly. Why don't we give it a try?"
Try what? It can't be what she's thinking, can it?
Song Xingyun remained silent, but Yu Mushang, though blind, somehow guessed her thoughts and smoothly offered his answer, speaking with even greater seriousness, "Song Xingyun, would you like to try dating me?"
Yu Mushang was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking. He didn't expect that he really couldn't hold back and went so far.
The person being asked couldn't help but swallow hard and widen their eyes.
Is he crazy?
"Hmm?" Song Xingyun didn't quite grasp the essence of his interjection, causing the man to misunderstand.
Yu Mushang's ears twitched. "You agreed?"
"Shall we start today?"
Song Xingyun: ?
What did she agree to? What did she agree to?
But her throat sounded like it was blocked.
Two little voices in my head were fighting fiercely: Say yes! He's handsome, rich, and smart! He even stood by you through such a difficult time, you should repay him with your body! No! That's too impulsive! Think it over!
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Yu Mushang finally asked, but what was with that expression on his face? Song Xingyun actually saw that pitiful look on his face, the kind that someone who wishes for a long and healthy life.
This time, one of the little figures in Song Xingyun's mind won.
Yeah, he's so nice, isn't she getting a great deal? Just give it a try, it won't hurt her!
She sat down again, clutching her wildly beating heart. "No, it's just a bit sudden."
After Song Xingyun finished speaking, she saw the undisguised relief on the other person's face, and her heart inexplicably softened as well. "Were you nervous?"
Yu Mushang hadn't expected to be discovered, but he was candid. "Well, it's normal to be nervous when making this kind of request for the first time." He paused for a second, then made his request even more direct: "Song Xingyun, let me be your boyfriend. How about we give it a try?"
Although I know he's usually quite domineering, these words are just too domineering...
Boyfriend... Although she already understood from the previous string of words, hearing him say it still made her feel like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
But she had already nodded, so she couldn't go back on her word or back down now. "Okay, okay."
Did she just end her lifelong single status like that?
Hearing her reply, Yu Mushang chuckled, "It's a good thing you didn't reply with 'received.' Why are you stuttering again?"
Song Xingyun's face flushed. Frustrated by his pointed out, she boldly repeated his words, "Well, it's inevitable to stutter when accepting this kind of application for the first time..."
Looking at the smile on Yu Mushang's face, she inexplicably felt her face burn. "You, you stop smiling."
"Okay, whatever you say." Yu Mushang replied smoothly, while Song Xingyun's mind was filled with thoughts like, "You might as well not have answered me at all..."
Yu Mushang called over a waiter, and Song Xingyun saw him half-covering his mouth and whispering something to the waiter. The waiter quickly left.
*
When Song Xingyun followed Yu Mushang out of the private room at Liuxi Xiaoyuan, it was already completely dark. After all, they had eaten dinner before coming out. Yes, they really had eaten another meal.
Song Xingyun patted her bulging belly and let out a burp.
"Hiccup..." She covered her mouth, but it was too late.
She glanced nervously at the man beside her, whose expression remained unchanged. He probably hadn't heard her, right?
The man suddenly spoke up, "How about we take a walk to digest our food?"
Song Xingyun: ......
"I thought you didn't hear me..." Her voice was barely audible, still lost in the awkward atmosphere, unaware that a waiter had brought over the things Yu Mushang had asked for.
"Thank you." Hearing Yu Mushang's words of thanks, Song Xingyun, who had been looking up at her toes, looked up in confusion. Then she smelled the fragrance of flowers and saw a bunch of red roses in full bloom. She parted her lips slightly and asked, "What's this?"
Yu Mushang's lips seemed to be pressed tightly together with nervousness. "A successful blind date should begin with a bouquet of flowers. It's just that these flowers are a little late. I hope you don't mind. Here are ninety-nine red roses for you."
Song Xingyun almost dropped her jaw in astonishment. "Snake the young master? Ninety-nine flowers?" But this was the first time she had ever heard someone say that phrase so dryly, it was quite endearing.
Only then did she notice that his hand holding the flowers was trembling slightly. Song Xingyun secretly smiled and quickly took the flowers, saying, "Thank you, but I didn't prepare any gift for you..."
Yu Mushang felt a weight lift from his hands, and a sense of relief washed over him. "There's plenty of time in the future."
Song Xingyun was already thinking about what gift to give him when a car horn suddenly sounded. She looked over and saw the familiar car body and license plate. Who else could it be but Ying Qi?
Yu Mushang's ears were more sensitive than her eyes. Just as he was about to head towards the car, Song Xingyun suddenly remembered something and grabbed his wrist. "Um, boss."
Yu Mushang felt the warmth of her body as she encircled his skin, and his heart seemed to be scalded as well. "Still calling me boss?"
"Huh?" Song Xingyun was puzzled for a second before remembering their new identities, and blurted out in distress, "You're the boss... I can't exactly call you husband, can I?"
Yu Mushang smiled. "It's not like we haven't shouted it before. Although it's a bit fast, if you want to shout it like that, well..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Xingyun stood on tiptoe and pressed her hand to his lips. "Don't, don't talk nonsense. What happened last time was... an accident!" She still vividly remembered the scene in the park where he called her "husband" three times, which made her so angry she almost died.
Yu Mushang took her hand away, his expression somewhat regretful. "Hmm, I almost forgot that you were just trying to take advantage of me without wanting to take responsibility."
Song Xingyun: ?
She quickly changed the subject and got down to business, "Could we... not let Ying Qi know yet? I promise, I won't let Wen Wen know either!"
Their relationship was confirmed rather hastily? She could hardly believe it, and it even reminded her of the house games she played as a child.
If it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, if...
A series of "what ifs" suddenly flashed through Song Xingyun's mind.
At this moment, Ying Qi honked the horn again, and even leaned out of the car window, "Boss? Are you two alright?"
Yu Mushang stepped forward again, "Get in the car first."
Song Xingyun refused to listen and this time grabbed his clothes instead. "I'm afraid I'll scare them to death. Please promise me first, okay?" After all, the boss turning into a blind date and then into a boyfriend would be terrifying to anyone, like a ghost story.
Her voice was soft, with an unconscious hint of coquetry, which made Yu Mushang stop in his tracks again. "Song Xingyun, do you mean we should have a secret relationship?"
Secret affair? Those three words sound rather exciting, but they're actually quite true.
Before Song Xingyun could respond, Yu Mushang said through gritted teeth, "Are you sure it's a secret relationship, and not that I should be your secret lover?"
The status of a secret lover and a boyfriend is worlds apart. Song Xingyun always makes silly mistakes, and Yu Mushang is really worried that she will misunderstand his meaning.
Little did she know that Song Xingyun's mind was filled with thoughts of the thrill of having a secret lover! Her mind was full of melodramatic novels she had read, such as "The Billionaire CEO Seeks a Title Every Night" and "I Woke Up One Night and Became the Crown Prince's Canary".
From Ying Qi's perspective, it was as if Yu Mushang was "dragging" Song Xingyun. "What big trouble has this girl gotten into this time? Is the boss going to leave her here and not let her get in the car?"
Song Xingyun remained silent for a long time, which made Yu Mushang slightly irritated. "Why aren't you saying anything? I really want to see what's going on in your head."
Song Xingyun noticed his mood and panicked for a moment, "No, it's just that what you said was too exciting, maybe it's not suitable..."
Yu Mushang almost laughed at her. "So that's not what you meant? You just wanted to keep it a secret for now?"
Song Xingyun hummed three times in a row.
The next second, the two of them had already reached the car door, and Yu Mushang opened the car door and shoved the person inside.
After he got into the car, Song Xingyun saw her new boyfriend's profile magnified in front of her, and his long arm half-encircling her. The distance was too close, and the intimacy was too great, which made her gasp in fright.
As he pulled down and fastened the seatbelt on one of her shoulders, his deep voice, audible only to the two of them, rang in her ear, "I'll do whatever you say, let's keep our relationship secret."
