Chapter 129 Two Men Confront Each Other in the Dark
Every step Su Mingyan took felt like stepping on Su Ruoyun's heart, making her tremble involuntarily.

Su Ruoyun unconsciously stopped and stood a step away from Huo Jingcheng.

The two exchanged a glance, and after a couple of seconds, their eyes darted back and forth several times.

Light footsteps came from behind her, and Su Ruoyun's back stiffened slightly. At this moment, her mood was no less than when she was in school, engrossed in reading an extracurricular novel during class, only to find her teacher standing in front of her, looking at her with a meaningful smile.

Su Mingyan strolled leisurely along, stepping on the dappled light on the road. The orange-yellow lamplight illuminated and lengthened his shadow.

He had striking features, deep-set eyes that conveyed a sense of nonchalance, and a sharp edge hidden in his seemingly casual gaze.

"What are you doing here so late, Mr. Huo?"

The man's deep voice drifted in the night breeze.

The night wind was fierce by the roadside late at night, making people feel pain. The two luxury cars, like crouching and resting beasts, stood silently facing each other in the darkness. Only the four headlights shone straight out and cast a large beam of light, illuminating the three figures of each other without any way to hide.

The two men stood at a distance that was neither too close nor too far apart, their eyes briefly meeting for a moment, their gazes sharp and piercing.

Like a sharp rock hidden beneath an undercurrent, its surface is calm, but its interior conceals sharp edges that can mercilessly slice anyone who carelessly falls in.
Su Ruoyun was the one who accidentally slipped and fell into it.

"I own property here, so I'm here to collect rent." Huo Jingcheng's lips curled slightly, his voice casual, as if he were just saying it offhand.

"..." Su Ruoyun.

"..." Su Mingyan.

The brother and sister were both taken aback, not expecting Huo Jingcheng to say that.

Su Ruoyun was utterly helpless. She gave a wry smile and rolled her eyes.

At least make up something like "just passing by" to make it more believable. Who comes to collect rent in the middle of the night? Isn't that obviously an excuse, a way to bluff and lie?
Having thought this through, she lifted her long eyelashes and glared at Huo Jingcheng with her bright eyes, looking 'dissatisfied'.

Huo Jingcheng took it as her exchanging glances with him, his smile deepening as he put one hand in his pocket and a slight smile appeared on his sharp, thin lips.

On the other side, Su Mingyan frowned, suspecting that Huo Jingcheng was insulting his intelligence. However, he quickly realized that Huo Jingcheng must have something 'shameful' that he didn't want him to know, so he deliberately gave such an absurd reason to cover it up.

Silence and stillness spread endlessly, and the night wind rustled through the paper bag.

The voice woke her up, and Su Ruoyun came back to her senses, a bright and lively smile blooming on her face. "Then I won't disturb your chat any longer. It's getting late, I'll go upstairs first. Good night."

After saying that, she rushed to swipe her card and enter the building, leaving the two men standing there.

The two of them turned around simultaneously, facing the transparent glass door, and watched Su Ruoyun run into the stairwell, her long, black, and shiny hair fluttering behind her.

Only after her figure completely disappeared into the corridor did Huo Jingcheng turn around unhurriedly, his leather shoes pointing to the left, and casually take a step.

He slightly raised his eyelids, his captivating peach blossom eyes fixed on the man before him. "It's just a regular development project, Mr. Su shouldn't care, right?"

His smug expression, coupled with his annoying smugness, carried a subtle hint of tea.

Then, Su Mingyan got so angry that she left.

……

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyan smiled nonchalantly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which held a chilling undertone. He then said meaningfully, "Then I hope President Huo can continue to smile like this."

As his words fell, a subtle atmosphere enveloped the surroundings, and the two men's gazes suddenly met in mid-air. Their unwavering stares instantly pulled them back to the days when they were both 'rivals' and 'colluded'.

Su Mingyan was the first to pull away from their meeting gazes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned and walked towards the Maybach.

Watching the Maybach drive away, its red taillights flashing in the night, Huo Jingcheng raised his hand and deftly pulled his phone out of his pocket as he rounded the corner. The cold light of the screen shimmered in his deep eyes.

He lowered his head, his long fingers typing on the chat area of ​​the screen, sending a message to Su Ruoyun.

Upon receiving Huo Jingcheng's message, Su Ruoyun peeked out through the glass door, casting a few glances at the outside. She hadn't gone upstairs; she had been waiting in the elevator lobby.

Seeing that Su Mingyan and the Maybach were no longer there, she simply opened the glass door, raised her hand and waved to Huo Jingcheng.

"Come in quickly."

Then, Huo Jingcheng strolled over with a leisurely gait. When he was just a step away, Su Ruoyun lost her patience, grabbed his suit jacket from the chest, and pulled him inside.

Huo Jingcheng took a few steps forward, a smug smile on his face.

……

There were security cameras in the elevator. Su Ruoyun solemnly insisted on keeping their distance. The two stood upright, as if they were strangers, standing on either side of each other in the elevator car.

With a "ding," Su Ruoyun stepped out of the elevator, walked down the corridor, entered her password, and pushed open the door. Huo Jingcheng followed closely behind her.

As soon as they entered the house, Su Ruoyun was picked up by Huo Jingcheng and sat obediently in his lap like a doll, while she was also holding a kitten in her arms.

The two people and the cat were nestled on the sofa like a human pyramid.

Su Ruoyun held the fat cat, bent down to let the cat sit between her legs, and stroked the cat's head as she asked, "Why are you waiting downstairs? Why aren't you coming up?"

Huo Jingcheng said, "Without the access card, you can't get in."

His large hand also rose up and touched the cat in his arms.

Su Ruoyun caught a glimpse of the large hand out of the corner of her eye, turned her head slightly, and asked, "Have you been waiting long?"

Huo Jingcheng wrapped his arms around her waist, feigning grievance as he nestled his head in the crook of her neck, his warm breath spraying onto her fair neck, causing her to flinch.

"It'll only take three or four hours." The voice was low and hoarse.

Seeing through his pretense, Su Ruoyun didn't expose him and instead played along, coaxing him for a while.

"..."

"Then give me an access card?" Huo Jingcheng seized the opportunity to make a request, wrapping his arms around her waist with half of his body still free.

“That won’t do.” Su Ruoyun refused decisively, leaning lazily against Huo Jingcheng’s broad chest, her body resonating as the two spoke.

"..." Huo Jingcheng.

Huo Jingcheng lowered his head, his gaze fixed on her delicate face. "So, you were just trying to make me happy all that time?"

Su Ruoyun tugged at his tie, straightened up slightly, and flailed around like a kitten. Instead of answering, she asked, "I haven't asked you yet. That place you mentioned the day before yesterday, does my brother also want it?"
