Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 144 He's Your Future Brother-in-Law

Because she was completely exhausted and her brain was churning, Su Ruoyun fell asleep very quickly, and was fast asleep in the blink of an eye.

Huo Jingcheng brushed away the sweaty strands of hair clinging to her cheeks, revealing her smooth, full forehead, and lightly stroked it with his long, cool, damp fingers.

As if sensing something, Su Ruoyun, half-asleep, groggily turned her head to the other side, her voice heavy with drowsiness, and mumbled, "Don't touch me, it itches."

Seeing this, Huo Jingcheng twitched his thin lips and then turned off the bedside lamp.

The bedroom was plunged into complete darkness in an instant.

……

The next morning, it was another beautiful day in Beijing.

There was a breakfast meeting at 7:30. Huo Jingcheng got up a little early. Su Ruoyun, who was lying in bed, was still fast asleep when she was awakened by a slight noise.

She hummed a few times, then nimbly rolled over, intending to snuggle into Huo Jingcheng's arms to continue sleeping, but she didn't expect that there was no one beside her. She rolled too hard and ended up rolling off the bed onto the floor.

A short, panicked cry escaped her lips. Her body followed a parabolic trajectory, soaring through the air, plummeting, and finally landing on the ground.

Thankfully, the bedroom was covered with thick and soft wool carpets, so it didn't hurt.

After such a fall, even the most tired person will wake up.

Su Ruoyun lay on the carpet in a daze for two seconds. Then, she loosely clenched her right fist and gently rubbed the corners of her sleepy eyes. With her other hand, she pulled the blanket over herself and, like a kitten struggling to get up, climbed off the carpet on her own.

Meanwhile, Huo Jingcheng, who was originally in the dressing room, keenly caught the sound of a heavy object falling. Before he had even buttoned up his suit jacket, he walked out with unhurried steps.

At first glance, a cylindrical object resembling a silkworm pupa slowly wriggled and then struggled to its feet.

The sound of steady footsteps drifted into Su Ruoyun's ears. She looked up and followed the sound, only to find that it was Huo Jingcheng.

Her round, almond-shaped eyes stared at people with a bewildered look, giving her an inexplicably cute appearance. Combined with the way Su Ruoyun was wrapped in the blanket, she looked like an adorable little insect that had just emerged from its cocoon.

Huo Jingcheng, who was leaning against the door, couldn't help but take a step and walk towards the bedside.

He watched silently, then slowly bent down, stretched his long arm forward, and pinched the soft flesh of her cheek with two long fingers.

Her skin was so soft that a gentle pinch made her turn red.

Su Ruoyun glared at him with displeasure, but Huo Jingcheng only reached out to help her up.

With his help, Su Ruoyun staggered up from the carpet and threw herself back onto the bed.

She picked up her phone and glanced at it; it was only 6:20. She yawned and decided to sleep a little longer.

Seeing her yawning repeatedly, Huo Jingcheng, who was standing next to her, smiled and suddenly reached out, childishly half-covering her mouth, sometimes covering it and sometimes letting go.

Caught off guard, Su Ruoyun made a series of "waaaaa" sounds. Finally, she frowned and raised her hand to swat away Huo Jingcheng's large hand.

It's hard to imagine that a man in his thirties would do something as childish as 'playing waaa'.

After a while, Huo Jingcheng was 'kicked' out of the apartment by Su Ruoyun.

……

After taking a nap, Su Ruoyun didn't get up until nine o'clock to have breakfast. Sitting at the table, she saw a steaming bowl of shrimp and mushroom noodles. Su Ruoyun picked up her chopsticks, picked up a few noodles, and savored them. The springy texture of the shrimp and the freshness of the mushrooms bloomed on her taste buds.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, with a thin layer of sweat on her back, Su Ruoyun still reminded Aunt Li as usual, "The bedroom doesn't need to be cleaned."

Huo Jingcheng had been staying overnight these past few days, and there were too many 'shameful' things in the bedroom, so Su Ruoyun didn't ask Aunt Li to clean it.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li smiled and said gently, "Okay."

……

At 2 p.m., Su Ruoyun received a message from Huo Jingcheng informing her that he could not come back to the apartment to have dinner with her today.

Su Ruoyun was never one to press for answers, so she replied with "[Okay.jpg]" and decided to end the conversation.

Huo Jingcheng seemed unconcerned, yet he deliberately 'bothered' her: [Aren't you going to ask who I'm having dinner with?]
Upon seeing the message, Su Ruoyun put down her teapot and, as if on cue, typed a few words in the chat box, obediently asking: 〔Who is it?〕
Huo Jingcheng: [Your brother.]
Su Ruoyun thought Huo Jingcheng was teasing her, so she smiled calmly, didn't take it seriously, and didn't reply to him.

Not receiving a reply from Su Ruoyun, Huo Jingcheng wanted to send another message to continue 'harassing' her, but there was a knock on the office door, and his assistant Lin Cheng entered.

"Boss, a private room has been booked at Youranju for tonight."

Huo Jingcheng was not joking; the person he had invited tonight was Su Mingyan.

It's unclear whether this is due to Huo Jingcheng's successful bid for the new city land plot recently. Three days ago, Hengfeng rejected the energy project contract, demanding that Bank of China further reduce the project's profit sharing, meaning the negotiations between the two companies have returned to square one.

The gathering tonight was also for this purpose.

The appointment was for 7 p.m., but a game of ball was also scheduled for 3 p.m. before the dinner.

A high-end private club with memberships.

Huo Jingcheng stood tall and elegant, with his left hand resting on his waist. His casual attire effortlessly accentuated his perfect figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and below him were two long, straight legs.

The face, with its strong features, is extremely aggressive, appearing cold and indifferent. At this moment, the brows are slightly furrowed, the face is grumpy, and it's clear that the person is impatient.

Two o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time of the day, with temperatures approaching 38°C. Su Mingyan deliberately acted tough, and Huo Jingcheng and Qi Zhiwen were forced to wait outdoors for more than half an hour.

Qi Zhiwen didn't care about his appearance at all. Without hesitation, he took off his coat and casually draped it over his head to block out the sun in a simple and crude way.

Huo Jingcheng was only wearing sunglasses, with his hands in his pockets, looking incredibly cool, and there was nothing else covering his face.

His tall, slender figure stood with a languid posture, his deep-set eyes hidden in the shadows cast by his sunglasses, his expression deep and gloomy.

After a long while, a Maybach with a Beijing license plate starting with "京A" slowly drove in.

Qi Zhiwen half-raised his hand, pulled the coat off his head, hooked two fingers around the collar of the coat, and casually hung it on his shoulder.

Huo Jingcheng curled his lips into a slight sneer. After the Maybach came to a complete stop, he stepped forward to greet it with a leisurely gait.

Seeing this, Qi Zhiwen, who was standing to the side, hurriedly reached out and grabbed his shoulder, "Are you planning to go see him with this expression?"

Huo Jingcheng slowed his pace, glanced back at him coldly, and his expression seemed to be asking, "Is that not allowed?"

Qi Zhiwen was speechless for a moment because of his expression, and then got to the point, "He's your future brother-in-law, how can you treat him like this?"
