Soul Returns to Hong Kong: From Tailor Shop to Richest Woman

Lin Ying sat on the bed, going over the events of last night in her mind, then quickly stopped herself.

I can't think about it anymore... But now I don't know whether to pick up the clothes first or wake the person next to me? To make matters worse, the person next to me is already awake!

Wen Xu turned his head to look at her, a smile in his eyes.

Lin Ying: "How long have you been awake?"

Wen Xu propped himself up on his arms and sat up: "It starts when you sit up."

Lin Ying was silent for two seconds: "Then why aren't you saying anything?"

"I want to see if Mr. Lin will activate the emergency plan when faced with a major emergency."

Lin Ying: "You're still in the mood for jokes?"

Wen Xu looked at her, then at the clothes on the floor: "You weren't like this last night."

Lin Ying grabbed a pillow from beside the bed and threw it at Wen Xu: "Shut up."

Wen Xu caught the pillow, his smile widening: "Okay, I'll shut up."

Lin Ying lifted the blanket, then immediately pulled it back up... Feeling a little embarrassed, she looked at Wen Xu: "Turn around."

Wen Xu obediently turned around, picked up Lin Ying's clothes, and put them back on the bedside: "I didn't see them."

Lin Ying picked up her clothes from the ground quickly, but when she got to the third button of her shirt, she realized that it was buttoned incorrectly!

Hearing the noise behind him, Wen Xu asked, "Do you need any help?"

"unnecessary."

Wen Xu wisely kept quiet.

Lin Ying finished dressing and went into the bathroom to wash her face. Her complexion in the mirror wasn't bad, but she looked a little flustered. She looked in the mirror and told herself: What's done is done, there's no use running away. I'm twenty-five, it's not like I don't know how to handle adult relationships.

But the target was Wen Xu, who was too smart, too perceptive, and too difficult to fool.

When Lin Ying came out of the restroom, Wen Xu was already dressed, with his collar not buttoned all the way up, and he didn't seem flustered at all.

Lin Ying pulled out a chair and sat down: "Okay, let's talk."

Wen Xu sat down opposite her: "I was just thinking of talking about that too."

Lin Ying: "Should you speak first, or should I?"

Wen Xu looked at her and said, "I'll go first."

"explain."

Wen Xu didn't beat around the bush: "Lin Ying, I've always had feelings for you; I like your intelligence, your excellence, the path you've walked, and I like who you are now; I'm very sure of that! I know you're a very rational person; you won't be bound by emotions, nor will you give up what you're doing for anyone."

Lin Ying listened and nodded slightly;

Wen Xu saw him and continued, "I respect all of that; I'm not a casual person either, and what happened last night wasn't something I didn't think through; Lin Ying, can we officially date?"

Lin Ying looked at Wen Xu. He didn't pressure her, nor did he use responsibility or what happened last night to coerce her...

She thought for a moment and said, "Wen Xu, I also have feelings for you."

Wen Xu looked at her, his gaze unchanged.

Lin Ying: "You are smart, reliable, and emotionally stable; although you can be a bit sharp-tongued at times, it's within acceptable limits; but there are some things I must make clear first: I will not marry you."

Wen Xu wasn't surprised: "I guessed it."

Lin Ying looked at him: "I don't want to tie my hard-earned assets and career to another person with a marriage certificate; it's not directed at you, it's my choice; I also don't want to be bound by any family rules and deal with relationships I have no interest in."

Wen Xu nodded: "I understand."

"Also, I want a child." Lin Ying didn't shy away from the question: "If we really have a child in the future, the child can only take my surname, Lin; my career, my business, I want to leave them to my own child... I've thought about these things a long time ago; Wen Xu, you should think about it carefully."

Wen Xu smiled after hearing this.

Lin Ying looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm thinking, you've even planned out the inheritance issue more than ten years from now."

Lin Ying stated frankly, "Plan reasonably."

Wen Xu leaned back in his chair: "What do you need to consider?"

Lin Ying said solemnly, "This is no small matter."

"I know this is no small matter." Wen Xu looked at her. "I have two older brothers and an older sister. The pressure of carrying on the family line is not on my shoulders."

Lin Ying... she really didn't know that.

Wen Xu: "From childhood to adulthood, I have made my own decisions in many things; what I study, what I do, which project I participate in, I choose myself. I don't care about those empty titles, nor do I care whose surname my children take; I am also a very willful person."

Lin Ying looked at him: "You call yourself willful?"

"Isn't that right?" Wen Xu retorted. "The projects I want to work on, the boss can't stop me. I wanted to come to your factory, and I even managed to take seven days off. Now I want to have a proper relationship with you, and as for children, I believe our child will be outstanding."

Lin Ying was taken aback by those words: "Wen Xu, what you're saying sounds like you're conducting a genetics project evaluation."

Wen Xu: "It's not that you can't understand it that way."

Lin Ying sighed, "Can't you be a little more romantic?"

Wen Xu looked at her and asked, "I like you, does that count?"

Lin Ying looked down and picked up the water glass on the table, only to find it was empty, so she put it down again. Wen Xu got up, poured her a glass of water, and placed it beside her.

Lin Ying took a sip and asked, "You really don't mind if I don't get married?"

"I don't mind."

"What about your home?"

"They can't control me."

"What if you regret it later?"

Wen Xu sat back down: "Why do you have to think so much about the future?"

Lin Ying: "Wen Xu, I don't like things to be unclear. Let's clarify the rules first."

"you say."

Lin Ying listed them one by one: "First, our relationship will not affect our respective careers; second, your projects should be kept confidential, and I will not ask any questions; third, you cannot disclose my trade secrets."

Wen Xu nodded: "That's for sure, I have professional ethics."

Lin Ying continued, "Fourth, if our feelings fade in the future, let's part amicably and not drag each other down."

Wen Xu looked at her: "You plan to break up before you even start a relationship?"

"Risk Contingency Plan"

"Boss Lin, you really know how to ruin the atmosphere." Wen Xu looked at her. "I'm not restricted, I accept that. But I also have demands."

Lin Ying raised her chin: "Speak."

Wen Xu looked at her and said, "First, don't use work as an excuse to always put me on the back burner; second, if you're not feeling well, you have to tell me, don't try to tough it out."

Lin Ying: "This request sounds a bit like my mom's, doesn't it?"

"Because you really need someone to manage you."

Lin Ying retorted, "I'm in excellent health."

Wen Xu glanced at her: "How many drinks did you have last night?"

Lin Ying fell silent, and the two remained quiet for a while. Then Lin Ying spoke up: "Let's give it a try."

Wenxu asked, "Try what?"

"Formal dating".

Wen Xu looked at her: "Lin Ying, this statement cannot be ambiguous."

Lin Ying said helplessly, "Wen Xu, let's officially start dating."

Wen Xu then smiled and said, "Okay."

At lunchtime, the two went downstairs to eat together; Lin Ying originally wanted to avoid the meal, but Wen Xu immediately knew what she was thinking: "You want to hide?"

"I just think people might be overthinking it."

"Then let them stop overthinking and just tell them directly."

Lin Ying stopped in her tracks: "Are you sure?"

Wen Xu: "Didn't we just confirm our relationship?"

Lin Ying looked at him for a few seconds: "Engineer Wen, you have a strong sense of initiative."

"You're not bad either."

When the two arrived at the restaurant, Liu Yang was eating fried noodles; when he looked up, he saw Lin Ying and Wen Xu walking in hand in hand, and he almost dropped his chopsticks into his bowl.

Liu Ya looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you now?"

Liu Yang stared at the two of them in disbelief: "Something's not right."
