Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 146 Isn't my lover a brother?
Su Mingyan's words, uttered without a word, drifted in with the night breeze, stimulating Huo Jingcheng's eardrums.

"..." Huo Jingcheng.

"Can't you say something nice about me?" Huo Jingcheng said quietly.

Su Mingyan glanced at him thoughtfully, then spoke slowly: "Whether you want to increase profit margins or try to rip me off elsewhere, just tell the truth. There's no need for this..."

His deep, dark eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were pondering the right words.

"A weasel pays New Year's greetings to a chicken."

A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it has no good intentions.

Huo Jingcheng laughed in exasperation, letting out a barely audible snort, before turning around and walking towards the private room.

The night breeze lifted the hem of Huo Jingcheng's suit jacket, and the stray hairs on his forehead fluttered in the wind.

He and Su Mingyan were like that; they couldn't see eye to eye and exchange even a few words was too much.

……

Having suffered a lot of 'grievances' from Su Mingyan tonight, Huo Jingcheng couldn't wait to seek some comfort from Su Ruoyun and wanted to cry with his girlfriend.

Back at the villa, it was nearly 10 p.m., and the night was already deep.

In the villa's entryway, a warm yellow wall lamp still shines quietly.

The dim light elongated the man's shadow, and he slowed his pace slightly as he entered.

As the housekeeper had instructed in advance that a servant would be stationed on one side of the kitchen, as soon as Huo Jingcheng entered, the servant immediately stepped forward to ask if he wanted some hangover soup.

There wasn't much wine at the dinner table. Huo Jingcheng dismissed the servants, turned around, and walked steadily up the wooden steps.

As soon as he entered the study, he made a phone call.

At that moment, Su Ruoyun, who had just received the video call, was comfortably nestled in bed scrolling through her phone when the video call notification popped up on her screen. She casually grabbed a StellaLou plush toy from beside her, propped it up behind her head, and then answered the video call.

"Is the dinner over?"

Huo Jingcheng casually responded with an "Mm," then propped his phone up on the desk, loosened his tie with his long, well-defined fingers, placed it on the table, took off his coat, and strolled to the coat rack outside the screen to hang it up.

Only a tall, slender figure remained in the upper left corner of the screen. His bespoke shirt clung tightly to his muscular body, and the bulging muscles on his back were faintly visible as he raised his hand, causing Su Ruoyun to steal several glances.

When Huo Jingcheng returned, he leisurely sat down in his office chair. What caught the eye was an exquisite white silk shirt with three buttons undone at the collar, revealing his delicate collarbone.

A hint of grievance lingered in the man's eyes, like a thin mist or thick clouds, making his features appear even more profound.

It's like a once fierce and untamed beast suddenly transforming into a gentle and vulnerable little rabbit.

This alluring contrast made Su Ruoyun reveal a hint of 'girlfriend affection', and she said softly, "Weren't we going to eat? What's wrong?"

"Am I really that annoying?"

The moment the affected male voice rang out, Su Ruoyun got goosebumps all over her body. She touched her forearm without making a sound, her expression remaining normal.

"...I feel like your brother doesn't really like me. Am I really that unlikable?"

Cha Cha's words were a bit much for Su Ruoyun to handle. She picked up a teacup from the coffee table, took a couple of sips of green tea to calm herself, and asked cooperatively, "Then what should we do?"

"Do you like me?" Huo Jingcheng stared intently at Su Ruoyun on the screen, his dark eyes seemingly hooked, drawing one in. Not receiving an immediate answer from Su Ruoyun, he leaned forward slightly, his impeccably handsome face suddenly close, exuding a powerful aura. "Hmm? Speak."

Su Ruoyun leaned back, sinking comfortably into the soft leather headboard, and exclaimed, "I love it, I love it~"

She used a sweet, coaxing voice to comfort him.

"So you really had dinner with my brother tonight?"

Huo Jingcheng pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, nodded slightly, a malicious smile playing on his thin lips, and said in a low voice, "Go and put in a good word for me?"

"..." Su Ruoyun fell silent.

The already meager "girlfriend love" vanished instantly.

Su Ruoyun recalled the last time she had dinner in the courtyard, when she mentioned Huo Jingcheng and Su Mingyan's reaction.

She shirked responsibility, saying, "That's your problem, go do it yourself."

Huo Jingcheng sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but that it would be pointless for him to go anyway.

He had known Su Mingyan for so many years, and he never thought that one day he would be reduced to the point of needing to please him. A penny can stump a hero, but in Su Mingyan's eyes, he was his brother-in-law, and a penny could stump a hero.

His deep sigh came through the phone clearly. Su Ruoyun muttered softly, "Who told you to say those stupid things before? Now you know, you deserved it..."

As Huo Jingcheng listened, his thoughts drifted away with the words, and the turmoil in his heart gradually spread.

He subconsciously reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette case, and a thin cigarette leaped out. His long fingers deftly picked it up and lit it for himself.

Night had fallen, and the surroundings were pitch black except for a desk lamp on the office desk. Wisps of bluish-white smoke rose gently in the dim light. The interplay of the yellowish lamplight and the wispy smoke created a strangely desolate and lonely atmosphere.

As he sat there quietly smoking, Su Ruoyun continued to chatter on like a monk. Later, she became thirsty and picked up her cup to drink some tea.

With a "clatter" as the cup fell to the ground, she frowned and asked, "Did you even listen to what I said?"

Huo Jingcheng's thin lips curled into a smile, with obvious indulgence in the "yes," and he slowly shifted to a more casual sitting posture, leaning lazily into the sofa.

Su Ruoyun still felt thirsty, so she picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip. A few tea stains remained on her lips, and she naturally licked her lips.

Although he agreed verbally, Huo Jingcheng didn't hear what Su Ruoyun was babbling about at all. Looking at her rosy lips, he had only one thought in his mind: he wanted to kiss her.

Su Ruoyun said, "My brother has a good temper. If you say some nice things to him, he will understand..."

"You call me 'brother' all the time, but I've never heard you call me 'brother' even once."

Huo Jingcheng was extremely annoyed. He couldn't see anything good about Su Mingyan's temper at all. He was vengeful, had a sharp tongue, and always smiled on the surface, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. Calling him hypocritical would be an understatement.

Su Ruoyun looked up and calmly asked, "He's my brother, so what kind of brother are you?"

She almost blurted out, "Who do you think you are?"

Huo Jingcheng had a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, with long, deep-set, and slightly upturned corners. He smiled slightly and said, "Isn't my sweetheart brother a brother?"

The man's light voice, tinged with a slight huskiness, still carried the nonchalant tone of his youth, yet his inherent arrogance and swagger remained undeniable.
