The next morning, Su Feng bid the Song siblings farewell for now. When it came to Song Ren's turn, she nodded at him, reserving any affection. He grinned as he took his overnight case and walked out of the house, his presence leaving her empty.
Song Ren was not sure what she thought about his departure. Some part of her felt relief. Relief so she can gather her thoughts and feelings and senses before she commits herself to their relationship. But as the heiress to a large company, her duty must come before desire.
Su Feng assured her that he confidently wanted to marry her, but she didn't know how deeply his feelings ran. Perhaps he was like her. Unsure of what they felt, short-sighted by their past, and overwhelmed with their emotions. Song Ren had liked him in the past; she could not give him her entirety yet. She was afraid that once her feelings ran deep again, then it would not reciprocate like once before.
