Chapter 700: Chapter 697 Progress Smoothly_2

As Cai Sainan’s voice faded, Chou Xinya finally came to her senses. She stared dumbfounded at the unfolding scene. Even though she had heard every word Situ Xin had said, the speed at which things happened was simply too fast for her to react.

"This... this..." Chou Xinya’s eyes widened as she looked at Situ Xin, at a loss for words.

Seeing Chou Xinya’s reaction, Situ Xin couldn’t help but sigh internally. She didn’t know whether Chou Xinya was suited for Xia Yujie, after all, his identity as the boss of Dragon Society, a leader in the underworld, was significant. On the other hand, Xia Yujie seemed to have no feelings about Chou Xinya’s reaction. Ever since he had taken over Dragon Society, he had completely abandoned the idea of marrying. As for having children, Xia Yujie had plenty of ways to make that happen.

Situ Xin observed Chou Xinya’s demeanor and after a moment of silence, she made a decision in her heart. Looking up at Chou Xinya, she said, "Miss Chou, we are well aware of your background, but you might not be familiar with Xia Yujie’s. I think that, as the other party involved in this blind date, you have the right to know. So, I have decided to tell you now. Xia Yujie is the boss of Dragon Society. Dragon Society, I’m sure you’ve heard of it, Miss Chou." Situ Xin watched Chou Xinya intently, not blinking as she gauged her reaction.

Chou Xinya looked surprised upon hearing Situ Xin mention Dragon Society. But that was just it—surprise. There were no other emotions. She said to Situ Xin, "I know of Dragon Society. It’s a famous underground organization in Capital City."

"Then, Miss Chou, what are your thoughts on this Dragon Society, on Xia Yujie’s identity?" Situ Xin paused before continuing, "Or your thoughts on Xia Yujie himself? I’m sorry to ask these questions at our first meeting, Miss Chou, but given Xia Yujie’s special identity, and in order not to waste everyone’s time, I went straight to the point."

"It’s okay, I understand," Chou Xinya had no particular thoughts about Situ Xin’s straightforwardness.

Xia Yujie also became interested when Situ Xin asked these questions. He wanted to see what kind of reaction this girl would have to his identity.

Situ Xin noticed Xia Yujie’s interest and couldn’t help but smile inwardly. This reaction from Xia Yujie could be considered a good beginning, at least it wasn’t the indifference and disinterest he had shown before.

"So, Miss Chou, what do you think about Xia Yujie being a mob boss, or can you accept it?" Situ Xin asked bluntly. She was confident in Xia Yujie’s appearance and wealth. The only concern, and the most important, was Xia Yujie’s identity, which kept Situ Xin worried.

Chou Xinya did not immediately answer Situ Xin’s question but instead pondered with her head down. As Chou Xinya thought, Situ Xin noticed Xia Yujie’s pupils dilate, and his hand unconsciously clenched. Seeing Xia Yujie’s reaction, Situ Xin smiled internally and decided that if Xia Yujie indeed liked Chou Xinya, she would do her utmost to help Chou Xinya set aside her views on Xia Yujie’s identity, regardless of how discontent Chou Xinya might be with it.

However, this process was bound to take time, definitely too much time.

"Regarding Mr. Xia’s identity, it would be impossible for me to say I have no thoughts about it—that would be unbelievable if I did. But Mr. Xia’s identity wouldn’t hinder my good feelings for him," Chou Xinya said as a faint blush appeared on her face. She openly expressed her fondness for Xia Yujie.

Chou Xinya felt drawn to Xia Yujie from the moment she saw him; her heart secretly consented. While Cai Sainan was there, Chou Xinya had felt anxious, afraid that Xia Yujie would favor Cai Sainan, who was much more radiant than her. When Situ Xin revealed Xia Yujie’s identity, Chou Xinya experienced a moment of internal struggle. It wasn’t because she found Xia Yujie’s identity terrifying or anything like that, but because she felt her own status was not compatible with Xia Yujie’s.

Situ Xin did not expect Chou Xinya to be so straightforward about her feelings for Xia Yujie. And when Chou Xinya spoke her mind, even Xia Yujie himself did not realize that he had let out a sigh of relief and his tension had almost completely disappeared. However, all these things that Xia Yujie was unaware of were noticed by Situ Xin.

She thought to herself that this blind date looked like it wasn’t going to be in vain. With that thought, the smile on Situ Xin’s face grew even brighter. "Since you, Xinya, have good feelings for Xia Yujie and don’t mind his identity, then there’s no problem at all."

"But, but that’s just what I think. I don’t know what Mr. Xia thinks yet," Chou Xinya murmured, stealing a glance at Xia Yujie.

"Haha, that question, you two can discuss it yourselves later. Alright, that’s all for my part. The rest is up to you two," said Situ Xin as she stood up, disregarding Xia Yujie and Chou Xinya’s reactions, and walked toward the door of the coffee shop.

Situ Xin didn’t know what would happen between Xia Yujie and Chou Xinya afterwards, but two days later, she called Xia Yujie to ask about his situation. Xia Yujie was hesitant for a long time before finally revealing under Situ Xin’s urging the progress he and Chou Xinya had made. The two were in the stage of getting to know each other. However, from Xia Yujie’s tone, Situ Xin could tell that their progress was quite smooth.
