Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 149 Did you quarrel with Huo Jingcheng?
Su Ruoyun didn't rush to call Huo Jingcheng, just in case he was busy and couldn't answer the phone. She first asked him where he was on WeChat.

Huo Jingcheng replied quickly, and his message popped up on his phone screen in the blink of an eye: "In the car, what's wrong?"

She asked worriedly, "Did you leave a tie with me?"

After sending it, I typed and deleted repeatedly in the chat, eventually deleting the rest of the message.

Aunt Li had served Old Madam Su for decades. A few years ago, after she established her own household, Old Madam Su assigned her to this apartment to take care of Su Ruoyun's daily life.

If there were a bet on who Aunt Li was more loyal to, between Old Mrs. Su and Su Ruoyun, the result would definitely be 0 to 10.

Huo Jingcheng was on his way to the company, holding a tablet in his left hand, which was adorned with a watch, and checking emails. The emails were for a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Tourbillon 6300T/000P-H056.

The dial is adorned with striking and delicate guilloché patterns, while the movement is engraved with an anniversary logo, and the dauphine minute hand rotates.

He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his watch, his fingertips gently stroking it. He raised an eyebrow, thought it over carefully, and replied, "I didn't notice."

The clothes in the Xiyuan Villa were all organized by the servants, and there was a drawer full of ties in the dressing room, which he usually didn't pay much attention to.

Su Ruoyun sat cross-legged on the soft carpet, about to type for him, when suddenly, a familiar ringtone sounded; it was Huo Jingcheng.

She raised her hand, her fair fingertips tracing the answer button on the screen: "Hello."

"What's wrong with the tie?" Huo Jingcheng's deep, pleasant voice came through the phone receiver.

Su Ruoyun's voice suddenly lowered, filled with obvious worry, "It seems that my housekeeper saw your tie."

Huo Jingcheng responded almost inaudibly with a "Hmm?"

The ending note rises lazily, as if in harmony.

"What if the old lady herself appointed someone and tells the authorities over there?"

Noticing her worry, Huo Jingcheng spoke slowly, his voice casual yet reassuring: "What are you afraid of? Once you know, take me back. We're in a proper relationship, it's not like we're doing anything shameful."

Su Ruoyun's main worry was that if Grandma Su and Grandpa Su asked her to bring her boyfriend home to meet them, but her brother and Huo Jingcheng hadn't resolved their conflict, how awkward would the situation be, and how would they handle the relationship? Just thinking about it gave her a headache.

She sighed deeply, raised her hand, and patted her forehead with her palm.

Huo Jingcheng caught her sigh through the phone receiver. "What are you sighing about?"

"At worst, I'll just give up these legs."

His words were unrestrained and bold; he was willing to sacrifice his legs for love—the first of his kind among Huo Sanshao.

Su Ruoyun was amused by him, and tugged at the corner of her mouth, chuckling softly before saying, "You definitely won't be able to bear it."

His tone carried a hint of melancholy.

Huo Jingcheng smiled in response, a smile playing on his thin lips, and gently coaxed her, "How could I be reluctant? Even if you're crippled, I'll stay with you for the rest of my life."

"Anyway, if anything happens, just push it all onto me..."

"..."

After chatting with him for a few minutes, Su Ruoyun finally felt a little relieved.

It wasn't until noon that she composed herself and went out to keep her appointment.

She had originally planned to go to the teahouse this morning, so Aunt Li didn't come to cook lunch. Su Ruoyun could only order takeout and eat a bite.

Colorful fruit pizza and pasta. The golden, crispy crust exudes the aroma of wheat, adorned with sweet fruit, and the pasta is evenly coated with meat sauce.

Holding a silver fork, Su Ruoyun twirled a few strands of spaghetti and slowly put them into her mouth, while her left hand, wearing a clean disposable glove, held a slice of pizza. After finishing her pizza and spaghetti, she leisurely went out.

He's a 50-year veteran of traditional Chinese medicine, specializing in acupuncture and massage.

The traditional Chinese medicine clinic is located in a hutong alley. There is only an old-fashioned redwood sign hanging on the wall. When you enter the clinic, a faint aroma of herbs permeates the air, with a delicate and elegant fragrance.

Su Ruoyun looked up and saw a unique scene in the courtyard. Many Chinese herbs were laid out on the ground, and the dazzling sunlight shone through the gaps in the thin branches and leaves, creating dappled light and shadow. The herbs were drying in the light and shadow.

She couldn't recognize what kind of Chinese herbal medicine it was, and then looked up at the honeysuckle planted next to her.

Having made an appointment, the apprentice at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic led Su Ruoyun and Li Li into a consultation room. Both sisters seemed to be in a bad mood.

The consultation room was filled with the aroma of herbal essential oils. Two reclining chairs were placed in the center, and a tray with Chinese medicine snacks was placed on a wooden table next to them.

Su Ruoyun and Li Li lay down on either side of her, face down, on their stomachs.

After replying to the message, Li Li put her phone aside, then turned to look at Su Ruoyun: "Did you have a fight with Huo Jingcheng?"

???

Su Ruoyun blinked, still savoring Li Li's words, which were like a thunderclap that exploded in her mind.

"How did you know?"

Her words revealed her confusion and doubt.

Li Li didn't rush to answer, and pressed on again: "Did you really have a conflict?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun shook her head and explained, "No, what I mean is, how did you know about my relationship with Huo Jingcheng?"

“This…” Li Li frowned, and asked seriously, “Is it that hard to tell?”

"..." Su Ruoyun.

Is it that obvious?

Before the old Chinese medicine doctor even entered the room, Su Ruoyun felt too tired to lie face down and couldn't hold on any longer. So she rolled over, lay on her back with her face towards the ceiling, and asked in a nonchalant tone, "When did you find out?"

Li Li followed her example and changed her lying position:

“The last time we were at the ranch on the outskirts of Beijing, I noticed something was wrong during lunch.”

"As soon as your phone beeps, he puts it down, and you stop typing, his phone immediately vibrates."

"It's so obvious, only a fool wouldn't see the shady dealings between you two."

Li Li asked gossipily, "So you two really had a fight?"

"No, it's just..." Su Ruoyun briefly described the situation to her, and as she spoke, she rested her chin on her hand in distress, her brows furrowing into a thin line.

Li Li didn't think it was a difficult matter, and shared her opinion: "If they know, they know. At worst, we can just take it back and show it to them. Brother Su isn't the kind of person who likes to haggle over every little thing. It's normal to have some business dealings. Once you two really become a couple, there will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation between our two families..."

Su Ruoyun had her own unspoken troubles. Su Mingyan and Huo Jingcheng didn't seem to have just business issues; there must be many other things that others didn't know about.

She bit her lower lip lightly, her rosy lips turning slightly white.

No, she had to find someone to find out what exactly happened between Huo Jingcheng and Su Mingyan.
