Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 150 Finding Li Wenye
Su Ruoyun racked her brains trying to figure out who to ask, someone who was on good terms with Huo Jingcheng and who knew the inside story... She forgot about Li Wenye for a moment.

Her peripheral vision paused briefly at the doorway, where she caught sight of the old Chinese medicine doctor and the apprentice strolling in. She slowly shifted from lying down to crouching, and then allowed the female apprentice to lift her long hair.

The female apprentice carefully lifted her halter-neck camisole, pushing it up little by little to reveal her slender, bony back.

The acupuncture room was filled with a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Su Ruoyun and Li Li lay quietly on the hospital bed with their eyes slightly closed. Thin silver needles, gleaming with a cool and faint light, were inserted into their backs.

More than an hour after the acupuncture, the massage followed.

A thin quilt was placed over his back.

The massage therapist who gave Su Ruojun was a female traditional Chinese medicine doctor with over fifty years of experience.

Warm, strong hands gently rested on her back, applying just the right amount of pressure, massaging from her shoulders and neck down to her waist. The entire massage was fluid and smooth, the female TCM doctor's technique skillful and professional. Su Ruoyun felt her body become soft and relaxed, feeling much more comfortable.

The doctor examined the two individuals again and prescribed appropriate medications.

It ended around 5:30 pm, when the sun had set and the sky was dyed a brilliant orange-red by the afterglow of the sunset.

The two drove to the restaurant separately.

Upon entering the restaurant, the waiters at the door greeted them and led them to a private room.

Su Ruoyun and Li Li followed behind the waiters, strolling down the corridor, their high heels clicking on the floor.

Su Ruoyun glanced at Li Li and asked curiously, "Why are you looking so gloomy again?"

Upon hearing this, Li Li let out a barely audible sigh of relief and simply brushed it off: "It's hard to explain in a short time."

"Why can't you explain it clearly?"

After she finished speaking, she walked to the door of the private room. The waiter opened the door and gestured for them to enter. Once Su Ruoyun and Li Li stepped into the room, the waiter closed the door behind them.

After ordering the dishes, Li Li also ordered a bottle of Louis XIII, and the two chatted while drinking.

"You said... someone wants to marry you?" Su Ruoyun raised her cognac glass, her eyebrows slightly lifted.

Seeing that Su Ruoyun's wine was almost empty, Li Li reached out and grabbed a wine bottle from the side, refilling Su Ruoyun's glass.

The white mother-of-pearl bracelet glided across the glass bottle, making a series of clear, tinkling sounds like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

"Ah."

When Li Li spoke, his voice was full of listlessness, clearly indicating that he had been troubled and exhausted for a long time.

Su Ruoyun frowned, racking her brains but still couldn't figure out which "brother" could be causing Li Li such confusion. After all, Miss Li's boyfriends were all over Beijing's social circles, and they all wanted to rekindle their romances with her.

"Who?"

Li Li made no attempt to hide anything. She brought the wine glass to her lips, took a small sip, and said, "You know him?"

"I know them?" Su Ruoyun narrowed her eyes, searching her memory for someone she knew...

"I still don't know." She shook her head, still searching among Li Li's past boyfriends.

Li Li was speechless. Did she really want her to say it outright? She was also embarrassed. Okay?
Li Li casually said the name: "Li Wenye".

Upon hearing the name, Su Ruoyun didn't react for a moment, responding with an extremely flat "Oh." Three seconds later, the name "Li Wenye" ​​kept flashing through her mind, and she suddenly realized: "Who? Li Wenye?"

Su Ruoyun's voice suddenly rose.

The scene at the rest room of the ranch on the outskirts of Beijing is still vivid in my mind. Li Wenye even went to her teahouse to ask Li Li's ex-boyfriend. In the blink of an eye, it went from 'confessing his feelings' to proposing marriage. The two of them must have been moving at the speed of a rocket.

No, even a rocket isn't as fast as them.

Su Ruoyun stood frozen in place, remaining in the same sitting posture, hesitant to speak: "You and him..."

"Originally, I wanted to 'learn' from him and see how he invests, but..."

"I've even lost myself in this mess," Li Li said through gritted teeth, biting her lip in anger.

Su Ruoyun didn't dare to think about what it meant to "lose everything," and rested her chin on her hand: "So what are your thoughts?"

They all belong to the Beijing circle, but they are also divided into 'factions' and each has their own friends. Usually, they would just greet each other at gatherings. Su Ruoyun didn't have much of an impression of Li Wenye. The most she knew was from when he came to 'Yichuan Tobacco' to ask about Li Li.

"It's not confirmed yet," Li Li replied lazily. "Let's just drag it out for now. Anyway, he's not going to drag me to get the marriage certificate."

"wrong!"

Li Li immediately straightened up, realizing something crucial: "The new Marriage Registration Regulations will take effect on May 10th, and you won't need a household registration book to get married anymore. My ID card is still with him, I'm doomed."

"..." Su Ruoyun.

How did your ID card end up with him?

“Last time he said the cooperation documents required both parties’ ID cards, which lawyers use frequently, so he asked me to leave my ID card with him…” Li Li didn’t expect that a marriage proposal would happen later. She picked up her phone from the round table and prepared to ask a friend at the Civil Affairs Bureau to check.

Su Ruoyun didn't bother her. A few minutes later, her friend sent her a message confirming that she was still [unmarried].

Li Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"You have such a big heart," Su Ruoyun said sincerely, raising her glass to drink.

This was the first time she had ever met someone who dared to give their ID card to a stranger, especially one who had malicious intentions towards her.

Li Li tried to excuse himself, saying, "I didn't even think of that."

……

The two finished a bottle of Louis XIII and then drove to Night Club for a drink.

Most of the lights in the private room were turned off, with only a few soft ambient lights and the light from the LED screen intertwining to create a mysterious atmosphere.

Several empty wine bottles were piled on the ground, and a few glass bottles were overturned. Several bottles of Hennessy were also placed on the ebony coffee table.

Both had their own worries. Li Li was troubled by his 'marriage,' while Su Ruoyun was thinking about the relationship between her older brother Su Mingyan and Huo Jingcheng. Why did Li Wenye describe their relationship as going from being accomplices to being at each other's throats?
Business wasn't a big deal for either of them, not enough to cause a falling out with their friend. Something else must have changed their minds.

As she pondered, she reached for her phone on the coffee table, found Li Wenye's WeChat ID, and typed in the chat area with her distinct finger bones.

[Are you there? I've thought about what you said the other day.]
Li Wenye replied a minute later. He was very perceptive and got straight to the point: [Tomorrow morning, still at your teahouse?]
Su Ruoyun: [Okay.]
After replying to the message, Su Ruoyun put down her phone, picked up the wine glass beside her, and slowly tilted her head back to take a sip of wine.
